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?

Subject: Re: Tee hee... a comedy quiz
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

I'm sure you'll remember 2, 8 and 9 when someone comes up with an answer...

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

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.

Thanks Phil
Noticed you missed out Max Boyce :( I was looking for Morgan the Moon or Doctors Papers - classics both of them
Subject: Re: Tee hee... a comedy quiz - nudge nudge, wink w
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...)
