Challenge:
"Can you GLISH a National Day song?"
"What?"

Had a bit of a chat with John Klass, the man behind the current GOLD 90.5 fm Home Stretch segment from 5pm to 8pm.

When I heard, a few evenings ago during dinner, that if I could hum a National Day song, I could win a prize. I am always in for any fun. I called up the station immediately. And, of course, Mr. Class [Klass] himself answered. 

The challenge was not to hum the SG song but to glish it [that's the second syllable of Singlish]. So I did. Didn't remember the title but he helped me complete the song when we both did a harmonising duet. And we went, "Glish, glish, glish, glish, glish..."😍. Could be, Count On Me Singapore?

And I won a $120 prize; oh well! Probably in pillows, bolsters and bedsheets. What an evening! But my wife chose a beautiful blouse and pants to match.

Thanks John, and to the sponsors of course.

John is unique and very talented. He’s managing the fort well. Have heard him many times on radio. Managed to find this album that featured John: Kick - Jane.. so aptly describes how I feel once I blast it in my car stereo.. still so shiok, 30 years on..

haha!!
Cheers Brother Andy
👍❤️🥰..

Andy Young
Hi John, What a performance! Your version is fresh and honestly, much much better than many renditions that I've heard. This song is so popular and isn't easy to give a new twist. But you did! Cheers! [Could you try LITTLE SISTER by Elvis and blow them over.]

John Klass
Andy Young wow! Thank you for such a generous comment Andy ‘forever Young’ one 😊🥂

Andy Young
John Klass LITTLE SISTER has that unique low bass intro. you may like; suits your voice too. Hope you'll do it on video. Cheers.

John Klass
