I've Got a Feeling in My Water

I’ve Got a Feeling in My Water marked an important milestone in Dendee’s musical journey. Released in 2003, this second album quickly earned a loyal following and attracted praise from both fans and professional reviewers alike. One reviewer described Dendee’s style as unique, high praise in an era where genuinely original music can be hard to find. More than two decades later, Dendee remains humbled by the enthusiastic response from listeners who continue to discover and enjoy his songs.

Blending blues, rock, humor, and clever storytelling, this album delivers everything fans have come to expect from Dendee Music. Packed with memorable characters, quirky observations, and song titles that immediately raise eyebrows, the album manages to be both musically engaging and genuinely funny. The collection includes several fan favorites, including the hugely popular Her Butt’s Too Big, affectionately nicknamed The Big Butt Song by listeners, although Sir Mix-a-Lot might feel entitled to challenge that title. The album also features I Want a Cup of Tea, a delightfully British celebration of comfort food and simple pleasures. Throughout the song, the narrator dreams of tea, crumpets, toad in the hole, spotted dick, ploughman’s lunches, and other traditional favourites. While the culinary cravings grow increasingly urgent, one thing remains constant: everything is made better with a proper cup of tea. The song’s infectious charm, catchy melody, and unapologetic love of British culture helped make it one of the album’s standout successes. The song received valuable exposure thanks to the Adagio Teas company featuring it on their website. In February 2017, NBC informed us that I Want a Cup of Tea had achieved Top 40 status, proving that a well-written song about tea can sometimes travel surprisingly far.

The album’s title track, I’ve Got a Feeling in My Water, My Knickers in a Twist, showcases Dendee’s love of colorful expressions and playful storytelling. Convinced that his romantic partner has been seeing someone else, the narrator responds with a mixture of jealousy, frustration, and very British coping mechanisms involving beverages and cigarettes at the local pub. His colourful descriptions and increasingly dramatic reactions create a wonderfully humorous portrait of wounded pride. The result is one of the album’s most entertaining character studies and certainly one of its most memorable titles.

Dendee wastes no time exploring matters of the heart in Got My Blues On, a blues-inspired tale of heartbreak, disappointment, and an evening that becomes progressively less balanced with every drink. After being unexpectedly dumped by the woman of his dreams, the narrator heads for the local bar to reflect on life’s unfairness. Unfortunately, the more he reflects, the less steady he becomes. By the song’s conclusion, he’s not only singing the blues but struggling to stand upright.

The emotional rollercoaster continues with Her Butt’s Too Big, perhaps the album’s most famous comedy track. The narrator finds himself dating a beautiful woman who appears to have everything going for her except one persistent complaint: she’s convinced her backside is too large. No amount of reassurance seems capable of changing her mind. As the song unfolds, Dendee cleverly pokes fun at insecurities, vanity, and the tendency many people have to focus on perceived flaws while ignoring their obvious strengths. Light-hearted and irresistibly catchy, it’s easy to understand why fans have embraced this song for so many years.

Things become considerably more dramatic in I’m Out in the Rain, a heartfelt blues ballad about loneliness and lost love. Despite the sun shining elsewhere, the narrator finds himself trapped beneath a personal storm cloud following the departure of someone special. Every verse drips with emotional pain as he wanders through life searching for shelter from heartbreak. While the song explores genuine sadness, its vivid imagery and strong melody make it one of the album’s most memorable emotional moments.

Fortunately, despair doesn’t last forever. I Must Forget My Blues and Get Back in the Groove finds the narrator attempting to pull himself out of his emotional slump. While he still misses his former partner and continues to worry about her wellbeing, he slowly recognises that life must go on. The song captures that difficult stage between heartbreak and recovery, where every day is a little easier than the one before. It’s a hopeful anthem for anyone trying to move forward after disappointment.

Another fan favorite arrives in the form of I’ve Got the Comb Over Blues, a song that tackles one of life’s more unavoidable challenges: losing your hair. Preparing for a date, the narrator becomes consumed with anxiety about the state of his rapidly retreating hairline. His carefully constructed comb-over becomes a source of constant worry, particularly whenever wind is involved. The thought of romance, intimacy, and potential hat removal sends him into near panic. With equal parts humour and honesty, the song captures a universal insecurity that many listeners can appreciate, even if they’re not quite ready to admit it.

The reflective Maybe explores the lingering uncertainty that often follows the end of a relationship. Looking back on past memories, the narrator struggles to determine exactly how he feels about a former love. Is he still sad? Has he moved on? Could there be a future with someone else? The answer, appropriately enough, remains “maybe.” The song’s thoughtful lyrics and gentle melody provide a touching contrast to some of the album’s more comedic moments.

Closing out the collection is My Baby’s a Scrubber, a cheerful tribute to a woman whose passion for cleaning knows no limits. While some people collect hobbies or sports trophies, this particular lady appears determined to scrub, polish, wax, and shine every available surface. Far from complaining, the narrator celebrates her enthusiasm, taking comfort in a home that gleams from top to bottom. It’s a playful and affectionate song that finds comedy in one of the most ordinary aspects of domestic life.

The domestic adventures continue with Get Up Off Your Lazy Ass, a humorous look at the frustrations that can arise when one partner seems far more enthusiastic about work than household chores. The narrator rises early, works long hours, and returns home only to discover that very little has changed since he left. Dirty dishes, unmade plans, and a partner who appears to have formed a long-term relationship with the mattress gradually push his patience to the limit. As his complaints grow louder and his warnings more dramatic, listeners are treated to a playful portrait of everyday relationship tensions that many couples will recognise. With its catchy chorus and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, the song turns a common domestic grievance into a light-hearted anthem for anyone who has ever felt they were doing all the heavy lifting.

Together, these songs create a wonderfully entertaining blend of blues, rock, humor, romance, and everyday observations. From heartbreak and jealousy to tea cravings, hair loss, oversized insecurities, and obsessive cleaning habits, I’ve Got a Feeling in My Water transforms life’s little challenges into memorable musical stories.

Whether you’re looking for a laugh, a catchy tune, or simply proof that somebody else has experienced the same bizarre problems you have, this album delivers. It’s classic Dendee Music: original, quirky, relatable, and filled with the kind of humor that leaves listeners smiling long after the final note fades away.
