'Wot'- Captian Sensible
'Wunderbar'-Tenpole Tudor
'Too Bad'-Doug & The Slugs
'Iko Iko'-The Belle Star's version

'Too Bad'-Doug & The Slugs


I love Doug and the Slugs.  Ever see the video for that song?  It was hilariously weird ;D

In their early years, Doug and the Slugs did alot of silly songs, like "Too Bad" and "Makin it Work", and they sounded great 8)

I have a really silly one in my record box - "Kissing With Confidence" by Will Powers - in the cheese category it would probably be gorgonzola............... ;D

Oh yeah, that one is quite silly.  "Do you have spinach on your teeth?"

I recently bought an 80's compilation CD and that was on it - quite a difficult song to get hold of.................... ;D

STARTURN ON 45 (PINTS) - Pump Up The Bitter

It's Raining Men by The Weather Girls has my vote

Bras on 45- Dr. Demento

BLACK LACE

It's Raining Men by The Weather Girls has my vote

Yeah, that song is silly, fun, has a great big, still very big at clubs, weddings, etc. it's stood the test of time. Some people can't believe it's 23 years old now.

STARTURN ON 45 (PINTS) - Pump Up The Bitter
How much is the 12" worth these days?

Just to list one, Money (That's What I Want) by the Flying Lizards.  Not the lyrics but the instrumentation.

A lot of happy women . . .

Silly songs include 'Clouds across the moon' by The Rah Band (and the video is even sillier), 'The Safety Dance' by Men Without Hats (I love it though) and 'Stutter Rap' by Morris Minor and the Majors (another song I love).

Homecoming Queen got a Gun -  Julie Brown
I'm a Blonde - Julie Brown
Valley Girl - Moon Zappa


One my kids love - but it is from the 70's    King Tut - Steve Martin

A lot of happy women . . .

;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Just found another silly one - THE TWEETS - Birdie Song (Birdie Dance)

Just found another silly one - THE TWEETS - Birdie Song (Birdie Dance)


Most definitely! Oh, that reminds of 'Hokey Cokey' by The Snowmen. Did you see that Top of the Pops where those guys are dressed in large snowmen outfits? Class as heck, you don't see that kind of thing anymore . . .

Oh, the lead singer sounds a lot like Ian Dury as well.

Thanks for reminding me, has it ever been proved if it was Ian Dury?

"and it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night - you're the oldest swinger in town!"  ;D

A brilliant song with so many clever lines in it.

I have that Top Of The Pops somewhere - I didn't realise until recently that one of those dressed up as a bird in the Tweets was a woman.............  ;D

STAN RIDGWAY - Camouflage  ;D  ;D  ;D

The video was dissapointing though.

Most '80s music videos are.

You know there are some incredible exceptions to that rule.  8)

Can't ever remember seeing the Camouflage video - I do recall his appearance on TOTP in 1986 though.

Bras on 45- Dr. Demento

That's Bras on '45, by "Ivor Biggun", to you, sir.

Emm Pee Threes available at:

Safe for work... well, as safe as anything by Ivor Biggun's gonna be.  But let's face it.  If "Bras on '45" isn't safe for your workplace, do you really wanna be working there?

And the lyrics are here:

Is that available on CD?  I'd given up on ever finding out who it was but now I have hope.  (It belongs in my Best of Vegas collection.)  I looked on Amazon but they don't have release dates or track lists for half of his stuff.  Anything else of his that stands out?  That was so very funny and maybe the first rap I ever heard.

Jim Morrus had quite a bit of comedic material- most of it political. I mean, Ronald Reagan did for comics what the microwave did for appliance stores!

I don't know if his stuff is out on CD...I know they played it often, back in the day, and I had a collection of Ronald Reagan stuff on tape, here, somewhere....I think it's between my inflatable Dalek, and my poster of Bobby Jimmy & The Critters, when the song "Big Butt" came out.
