Alan the Geordie

Alan the Geordie is a 2010 song by Alan about Alan. The song was written and recorded by suggestion of Seej 500, who strongly believed Alan had to modernise and learn how to rap to become popular with the kids.

Alan wrote the song over a period of three weeks, inspired in the chorus by his work with charitable organisation RecycleGB. One line that he praised highly in promotional interviews, in which he proclaims his ability to levitate his bifocals, came about after he tripped over a yellow bin and saw through his vision blur his glasses soaring through the air. Other lines in the rap came about through frantic Googling of words that rhymed with &quot;Alan&quot;.
