Silly Songs

[George 1978]

Re: Silly Songs

I was thinking about that Napoleon XIV song "They're Coming to Take Me Away, A Ha" which seems to make a point about someone insane going to where they would be expected to go. If you think that isn't silly, then you should hear what the B-side sounds like, and what the original label looked like as well.

And speaking of B-sides, the B-side of Tracey Ullman's "They Don't Know" is actually called on the label, "The B-Side". It even made it onto an album.

Regarding that Guy Marks song, I often like to give people the illusion that I am a lot older than I really I am when I tell them that I was born in the same year that Loving You Has Made Me Bananas was in the British charts. It sounds like a song from 1958 rather than 1978.

Loving You Has Made Me Bananas
Originally written and recorded by American comedian Guy Marks in 1968, it was a parody of Big Band broadcasts of the 1930s and '40s with its rambling intro and silly lyrics. It was reissued in 1978 and made it up to #25 on the UK charts. This clip is from his appearance on TOTP on May 18, 1978.

Two of them had programmes on 10.00 pm on Sunday evening ITV:

Spitting Image - The Chicken Song
Hale and Pace - The Stonk

Also there were:

The Firm - Star Trekkin'
Mr Blobby - Mr Blobby
Black Lace - Agadoo

The Birdie Song cannot count as it has no lyrics of course...
