None of them
Hans Poulsen – Boom Sha La La Lo
A great 'anti-war' song cleverly disguised as a simple 'children's song'. Made #1 for 2
weeks in the Adelaide chart, #5 Australian chart, 1970. This is my version... it seems
pretty close to the recorded version, although Hans uses a banjo for parts of the intro
and outro.. The clip below shows Hans singing the song on tv... he has a capo on the
second fret... so any improvements on my version most welcome!!
