@historigins This video tells the background story quite well… https://t.co/RWxfsu0OpJ

[Paul Heaton @PaulHeatonSolo]

I've included your nice version here Mickey @mickeyraff

[Mickey Raff @mickeyraff]

Wow.., what can I say. On a day that I found out Bryan Adams won’t let people cover his songs - or even part of them (not that I’d want to!) - the legend that is @PaulHeatonSolo shared my version of ‘The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death’. Im chuffed to bits!!! 🙏❤️🤘

[Paul Heaton @PaulHeatonSolo]

40 yrs ago today, Stan & I sat down at 52 Grafton Street and wrote Pull Me Through, which we never recorded The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death, which we saved until the next year. Flag Day had also risen to 28 in the Indie charts. https://t.co/YcF0JMw4f2

[Mickey Raff @mickeyraff]

@PaulHeatonSolo Oh my giddy aunt! I’m speechless!! Thank you so much Paul. Can’t believe you liked my version (whistling and all!!!). On cloud nine here. 😳🙏❤️
