This song, by John Zonn, was produced by Simon Baker in April 2004, at Frogbox Studos, Hove, Sussex, UK. John decided to issue it as a promotional single-song CD to give to any interested parties, and it has since been played on KIDN, KFMU & NPR radio stations, Colorado, USA.

[edit] About

John himself, described it as: "sounding a bit like 'the theme from Friends', with echoes of Blondie, The Only Ones, Richard Thompson, and a middle-8 that could have been written by The Eagles!" Others have said that it is reminiscent of the B52s or Martha & the Muffins.

You may find it catchy, you may find it annoying; but however it hits you, Don't Speak Too Soon is classic "surf's up" material that should raise a smile from every quarter.
