about

Inspired by an encounter with a stranger who was freaked out by my accordion playing on the street outside his place (and my brother's place)

lyrics

Mooshiek man

In a van of ghostly white
Hovering the streets
The neighborhood is haunted
Your puppies give a shriek
Restaurants are cursed
With howls and ghostly tunes
Your pre-recorded pop songs
Are drowned out in the gloom
Even in the daytime
The market isn't safe
The evil man with the evil van
Nobody can escape, he is the

Mooshiek man, the mooshiek man
He’ll spook $2 from your pockets
and interrupt your chatter, he's the
Mooshiek man, the mooshiek man,
Brace yourself for the horrid apparition of
The Mooshiek man, the mooshiek man,
He’ll spook $2 from your pockets
bewitching off your frowns, he is the
The Mooshiek man, the mooshiek man,
Watch out! - because the mooshiek man has come to town!

Quick pickup the phone
And call the Icecream man
His melodies are garlic
To musos with a van
He's plump from too much chocolate
The kids will scream for ice cream
They'll turn to little monsters
and tear apart the street
All of this in hoping
Our souls will all be saved from
The evil man with the evil van
Close the doors and pray it's not the

[Chorus]

Niq Reefman Sydney, Australia

Niq trumpets like a singer, keyboards like a bass player, sings like a narrator and ukuleles like an electric guitar - his musical performance is best described by picturing “Tim Minchin, flying a trumpet through a thunderstorm”.
He spreads songs of beauty, mirth, camaraderie, inspiration and action to a world that craves the social zest of an Irish pub and the hopeful melodies of nature. ... more
