Hiya, Philbo.

I'll have a crack at a couple.

No.6 is "Star Trekkin'" - The Firm
No.7 is not so clear, but I'll have a go at "The Ballad of Brave Sir Robyn" - Monty Python from "The Holy Grail"

How'd I do?

hey philbo

#1. Monty Python (I think its Eric Idle and Graham Chapman that sing it) - Medical Love Song
#7 Monty Python (Eric Idle) - Brave Sir Robin (although I think the lyric should be 'killed in nasty ways
#6. "Star Trekkin'" - The Firm
#13. "The Sick Note" also known as "The Bricklayer's Song" - Various (I have a version by the Dubliners, I think the Corries did it too)

p.s. I love comedy songs (as you can tell!)  ;D

#1 - Correct
#6&#7 - Correct (with a correct correction, too ;-)), but beaten to the tape...

I just worked out number 8 - its Jasper Carrott's Magic Roundabout sketch (not really a song, but very funny.)

I had to check, but it should be "'Drops 'em for certain,' said Dillon." rather than Dougal. Mind you, if you'd got it right I would never have got it - Dougal just brought to mind the Magic Roundabout, whereas Dillon wouldn't have.

`Dillon.` ,said Dougal.
`Yes.` ,said Dillon.
`I wonder if Florence is a virgin?`
`Drops 'em for certain.` ,said Dillon.

...you're absolutely right: I was a bit quick off the mark when I typed it

Incidentally.. full text can be found here

PS You're right, it's not a song... but it is what got Funky Moped to number one in the charts ;-)

I know the 'winker' person but can't think of his stage name.  He used to be on That's Life as Doc Cox I think.

Just remembered he was called Ivor Biggun.  Can't recall what the song title is though.

That's good enough for me ;-)  The song is from this "Partners in Grime" album, called "Hide the Sausage"

I've not got any of his.. apart from a couple of "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" recordings with him in.  I'll go and have a look (so maybe next time...)
