Eccentronic - Edinburgh Tram (Kraftwerk parody)

Croydon's top electro music comedy group Eccentronic reinvent their minor internet hit video Croydon Tram to bring joy and optimism to the possibility of, at some point, a fully functional tram network in Edinburgh run by efficient German Kraftwerk parodyists.
In 2019, Eccentronic release our travel-themed EP on Bandcamp featuring many epic road journey by train, underground, bus and road - preview and download at:

LYRICS:
Frau Callaghan, ze people of Edinburgh dream of electric sheep, because zay still, have NO TRAM!
Vot Fraulein Hypnotique! Ve must take Arthur's Seat, stick it up the Holyrood and construct zis tram tonight, but how vould it be?
Let's go from Princes Street to Edinburgh Gateway
Balgreen to Gyle Centre have you been there lately?
Wave as we pass Ingliston Park and Ride
No need for cars, by tram we can glide
It's the newest kind of public transport
Just 30 minutes from Haymarket to the airport
Take a flight to Frankfurt or Lanzarote
Or the sunny East Midlands, it's not grotty
Ministers, get the tram project back on track
Or let's take the 100 bus and give us our money back
Every journey an adventure, and so
It's the only way to go
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Edinburgh tram, tram, tram
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Edinburgh tram, tram, tram
Let's got from Shandwick Place, it's ace
to Gogarburn, it's fun
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Edinburgh tram, tram, tram
Edinburgh Tram!
