        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...
        I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
        There's nothing you can do to make me change my mind
        I'm having so much fun
        My lucky number's one
        Ah! Oh! Ah! Oh!

          ​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.

            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.

                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.

                        Speaking of Arthur Daley, does anyone remember that song also by the Firm (of Star Trekkin' fame, but a few years before that) called - "Arthur Daley - (E's Alright)"?

                          That Waterman and Cole song was on a cassette album of Christmas songs that I got from WHSmith (when they sold music!) back in the mid 1990s.

                            Yes. I posted it just above the Denis Waterman and George Cole song!

                              Indeed. Sometimes I need a bit of a re-Minder, so to speak.
