about

Chris: 'Soup Review's Flash Gordon Suite: Music For The Last 20 Minutes Of Flash Gordon' is the great lost SR artefact. Performed exactly once at Regather in Sheffield at…I literally cannot remember the name of the event…but the idea was to represent a famous film with different performers given different chunks of the film to represent in whatever way they wanted. We were assigned the last 20 minutes of the film so it was chockful of lots of iconic moments like the joyless wedding of Ming and Dale, Flash using a rocket like a lance to kill Ming, and the bit where the Hawkmen arrange themselves in the air to spell out 'Thanks Flash!'. This song commemorates the last of those.

lyrics

Thanks Flash !
Thanks Flash !
Thanks Flash !
Thanks Flash !

(Thanks Flash!)
we'll show our gratitude
at high altitude
(Thanks Flash!)
advanced ty-ing
with sychronised flying
(Thanks Flash!)
we're saying cheers
from all the way up here

ooooh nice one Flash!

Seriously, this is the most military precision
the hawkmen have ever shown
we're usually just carousing, y'know
and eating meat off the bone

ooooh meat off the bone!

I'm a New York City girl
things are a little too quiet around here for me

Thanks Flash !
Thanks Flash !
(cheers mate thanks a lot)
Thanks Flash !
(excellent set)
Thanks Flash !
(we really appreciate the effort y'know)
Thanks Flash !

And in the end....
they never made...
a sequel...

Soup Review Sheffield, UK

Soup Review are what happens when South Yorkshire meets South Coast, when folk tradition meets anti-folk downbeat self- deprecation.
Chris Delamere is the son of a morris dancer. Mario D’Agostino arrived in Sheffield from Weymouth.
Together they write songs that masquerade as comic, but on closer listening reveal themselves to be a deep and poignant exploration of the human condition.
