Following brief employment at a pound shop, Muhammad Shahid Nazir, a Pakistani immigrant to the United Kingdom from the town of Pattoki, Kasur in Punjab, began work on a fish stall at Queen’s Market, Upton Park where his employer instructed him to use a trader’s call to attract customers.
He soon composed the song “One Pound Fish” with the lyrics:
Come on ladies, come on ladies
- One pound fish, one pound fish
- Have-a, have-a look
- One pound fish
- Very, very good, very, very cheap
- One pound fish
- Six for five pound one pound each
- Here is the latest news. Shahid has not been deported to Pakistan (as reported by the Daily Mail). He went to Pakistan to get a visa to release his song in France (as reported by everyone else)
-
Allez mesdames…
-
Un poisson qui coûte un euro…..etc
- Yolanda Riley, 20, travelled from Ashford in Kent just to meet him. She says:
-
“I am obsessed with his song, I had to meet him.
-
“He smelt like fish but he was amazing. I’m so happy now.”
- Many of us smell of pensions ….
- TAKE THE POLL!
- What smells worse?
- And he’s got a nice Mum
