What song lyrics really date you?

[Dover]

Another Junior Choice kid here. For me it was Tommy Steele and his Little White Bull, or Rolf and Jake The Peg.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Junior choice on the radio for me. Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart on a Saturday and Sunday morning before Swap Shop was invented.
I hated the old black and white series and the dubbed foreign stuff.

Anyway my lyrics are, 'The runaway train ran went over the hill as she blew'

It was probably a subliminal message about sex or drugs

To date me even more, I remember Uncle Mac broadcasting Junior Choice before Stewpot.

 

[Danny-Boy]

I had the record to, a 78 played on a wind up gramophone. Both are still in my Sisters loft in Woodingdean.

WhenI was very young we had a wind-up gramophone with a few 78 records, the only one I remember was "The Laughing Policeman". still laugh myself when I hear it. Now they should issue "The PC policeperson"

Seems it was Uncle Dirty Mac...

 

[Danny-Boy]

Saw him at the South Bank thing last year. F-ucking B-rilliant. He had a band of fetching and talented young eastern Europeans with him. Thin, fit, mad and 69 years old.

Has Don come back from the dead? Jesus...

 

[Icy Gull]

If Paradise was half as nice as heaven that you take me to

 

[Dick Head]

Last night, I heard my mama singing a song
Ooh-We, Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep
Woke up this morning and my mama was gone
Ooh-We, Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep
Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep, Chirp

and

The bravest animals in the land are Captain Beaky and his band
That's Timid Toad, Reckless Rat, Artful Owl and Batty Bat
They march through the woodlands singing songs
That tell how they have righted wrongs

 

[AnotherArch]

"We love Muffin, Muffin the Mule"
and
"The railroad runs through the middle of our house....."

 

[FamilyGuy]

...that would be "Puff the Magic Dragon surely?

O/T I met a guy once who's dad flew a specially armoured Dakota in Vietnam that was used to lay emergency short term landing strips in the jungle, and the plane was called "Puff the Magic Dragon".

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Do you remember The Flashing Blade, a foriegn swashbuckler, i loved it

Brilliantly badly dubbed

 

[the wanderbus]

No real lyrics as such, but does anyone know where I can get some Oxygum?

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Bill and Ben, Bill and Ben,
Bill and Ben, Bill and Ben, flowerpot men.
Flowerpot men, flowerpot men,
Bill and Ben, Bill and Ben, flowerpot men
