Does anyone have some info on this song ?

It is on Pirate Songs, seems recorded round 1986 (and is on Napster).

The song, taken from the soundtrack of the film "Shanghai Surprise," was released on the 5-inch CD and 7-inch vinyl EP issued with the book "Songs By George Harrison 2." The purchaser chose which format they desired when ordering the book, which was released during the summer of 1992. George Harrison recorded this track in July 1986.
I think it was originally by the 'Zig Zaggers' and, apart from the albums Shanghai Surprise & Pirate Songs, appears also on Real, The Mystique Maestro and Artifacts III - Free As A Bird: 1981-1994.

Not sure how long the Napster version you found is, but the full length is 3:36.

You're welcome.

Did you use tape measure? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

Yes ofcourse, didn't you?

The Beatles used to cut and paste tapes in their days, so, that's what I do.

I don't find it long enough, quite frankly!

So I rely on my trusty telescopic stadiometer.
