Little Blue Tank Engine | Feat. @TheGingerEngine | Parody of "Little Blue Volkswagen” By Dean Brody

“I can find another hat. But I’ll never find another Thomas.”
- Sir Topham Hatt (2010)

LYRICS:
You’ll never give up, when things are tough,
Coaches or trucks, never out of puff,
What would they do, without you,
In their world

Steamin’ through on your own branch-line,
When we need a hand, you’re right on time
We know you’ll get through in the rain or shine,
So useful, on you we rely…

Our little blue tank engine,
Working so hard but having fun,
You’re our little blue tank engine
And you’re shining in the morning sun,

Sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows,
But you'll get through, with your fire to keep you warm,
We know you dream though, that you would see the…
Whole wide world

Reliable, pride of the line,
You make us so happy when you’re steamin’ by,
Just seein’ you is our “Shining Time”
So useful, on you we rely…

Our little blue tank engine
Working so hard to get things done,
You’re our little blue tank engine
And you’re shin-ing in the mor-ning sun,

All over Sodor Isle,
You’re helping everyone,
Rushing ‘round the yard,
With a heart that’s big and strong,

You're our engine number one…

You’re our little blue tank engine,
Following where the rail may run,
He’s our little blue tank engine,
Thomas, you’re our engine number one

(Instrumental Break)

You’ll never give up, when things are tough,
Coaches or trucks, never out of puff,
Oh can’t you see, where would we be,
Without you

Hello again folks!
Here’s yet another Thomas parody song - and finally one about the number one engine himself!

This is a parody of a song I’m sure most of you won’t know. “Little Blue Volkswagen” is one of many songs by Dean Brody, and not one of his most famous hits. My family and I really like his music, and I have to say, he might be one of my favorite country singers! One day I found myself listening to the original song, and once again, my goofy ahh Thomas brain thought “Little Blue Volkswagen? But what if Little Blue TANK ENGINE??”, and the rest is history. I thought it was about time I made a nice tribute to our favorite blue engine after all these years. I hope you like it!

I want to give another huge shoutout to Andrew Durning, AKA @TheGingerEngine for recording the vocals for this song, back-to-back with “I Would Puff 500 Miles.” He went out of his way to learn the original song, and gave an excellent performance as usual. He even sent me a separate track for the harmonies, which made a huge difference.

@TheGingerEngine has made lots of thorough Thomas reviews and ranking videos, as well as many thoughtful discussion videos on @ADurning87, his own podcast, AND his own album of great parody songs on @ThatMentalGingerShow. Check out the rest of his socials and channels in the links below! Thanks again for your help Andrew!

I hope you’ve enjoyed the four new parody songs this past month! I had a ton of fun making them, and I’ve still got two more in-progress! Stay tuned for a new “Back on Track” project next weekend!

See you next Saturday!
-Sooty Will (and Thomas)
