And he has the cheek to write "How do you sleep?" for McCartney. :cb

Happy to go with that[/QUOTE]
I believe Sheila did write, at least the lyrics, to Hibernian Give Us A Goal. My family & Hart family were good friends at the time. Johnny certainly took over & made a huge contribution to both the writing & production of the record. The music for the 'Turnbull Tornadoes' side is based on an old traditional song about a horse, Skewball, so was Lennon's lesser known effort! :wink:
I was also lucky enough to get to know Johnny & his sons, Martin & Kevin (RIP) in later life.
On a separate note Everton still walk out to Z Cars, as did Watford until 2019. Z Cars was performed by the Johnny Keating Orchestra & was a Top 10 hit!
Both songs melody was based the traditional song Skewball (AKA Stewball in America).

He is definitely a Hearts supporter and always was. I don’t read Kickback but the poster called it right.
Yes, it’s a tune if that’s yer bag of a tune but one definitely performed by a Hearts fan.
Sorry if that’s spoiled it but it was never a secret. He can still be seen doing the old 1-5 thing in some circles.
The song we are talking about was first played at Easter Rd on the night Hibs played Rangers in a Scottish Cup replay.Over Fifty thousand at the game which Hibs unfortunately lost 2-1 to them.Seem to recall that the winner was scored by Tommy McLean.Carnage on the terraces and afterwards.
Sheila Hart wrote the words and music to Hibernian (give us a goal)
Johnny Keating did Turbulls Tornadoes
Look at the 45 label which is correct
Sheila was a talented writer in her own right composing many songs.
Listened to Turnbull’s Tornadoes just now, by christ it took me back. Elbe St , Leith ( long demolished tenement). The best month in my Hibs loving history. League Cup victory over Celtic, 8-1 Ayr Utd, soon to be followed by the greatest game in history.
I was 8 years old and Hibs had a song that sounded uncannily like Merry Xmas-War is Over, by John Lennon. It had a slightly melancholy feel to it, then the rousing Hibs, Hibs, Hibs for the cup. Loved it.
Just to settle things. The song was written by John Keating and James McPherson, Sheila Hart is uncredited. Copyright is John Keating Music Ltd.

A member of the Hart family has opinions about this post on Facebook. Seems to disagree.
Quite strongly.
