Yes, that's Rolf starting at the 1 minute mark. Have you heard his recording with the Beatles?

No, I don't think so. I don't care much for The Beatles.

Worth it for the bizarre line "Don't ill-treat me pet dingo, Ringo"

My favourite is Peter Sellers "Any Old Iron" closely followed by the Monty Python team with Arthur Mullard singing "Bovver Boys" which was on Charisma records circa 1972

I bought this (for 50 cents) because the title amused me:

A great one to get would be on the Apple Label 1969 "King of Fuh" by 'Brute Force' most likely cost a bit more than 50p though! Was banned by the Beeb coz the lyrics refer to the "Fuh King"

If you're a keen Rutles fan you'll also want to get the album Rutles Highway Revisited, which consists of covers of Rutles songs by 'alternative' bands such as King Missile, Bongwater, Shonen Knife and Das Damen.

I'm not THAT keen.

There is a bloke who comes rond here every month in a waggon, the tune he plays is ' Any old iron' people give him old fridges and TVs, crap.

Always makes me smile!

Anyone like 'Cocktails for two'? ancient can't remember who? as a kid loved it and 'The sheik of araby'?...

Wasn't "The Sheikh of Araby" Tommy Cooper's intro tune?

It was indeed, and it was covered by the Beatles as well. It's on one of their Anthology CDs.

And while we're here, I wonder if anyone has ever heard of this show. A friend picked the record up for me recently and I must admit it seems to have completely passed me by, I have never heard of this apparently award-winning LWT series.

From what I've found out about it, Agnes, it doesn't seem to have won any awards. It starred Linda Bellingham and other people like Nickolas Grace (who played the Sheriff of Nottingham in the 1980s Robin Hood and Anthony Blanche in Brideshead).

By the way is Guano your real surname?

"The Man on the Flying Trapeze" By Spike Jones and his 'City Slickers' is a great example of mispronunciation to great comedy effect!

I'll take that as a maybe...

We Guanos are a proud people with a long and illustrious history. There's many an outpost of the British Empire that can still boast a good old sprinkling of Guano.

Anyway a few more, July was a bumper month!
