My wife had one. She said it was all the “dowry” I was going to get.

Sadly, they didn't make it long after I went into the service. I think maybe my sister played Opera to them.

I recall an Iowa DJ who used “Kaiser Bill’s Batman” as his theme song. Amazingly, it was on a country station.

OK, did you know the Royal Guardsmen did not one but TWO sequels to their Snoopy Song?

1.Snoopy vs the Red Baron

2.Return of the Red Baron

3.Snoopy's Christmas (has the Red Baron in it, so I count it as a sequel).

Pickett, dubbed "The Guy Lombardo of Halloween" for his impossibly catchy No. 1 song, passed away Wednesday night at the West Los Angeles Veterans Hospital

Does anyone know about his military service?

...which song, by the way, was written by Presidential ‘’suggestion’’ (read: order), after Queen Elizabeth (rightly) took umbrage at the characterisation of British soldiers in ‘Battle of New Orleans’.

I think Rolf Harris's "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" was big in America around the same time (which I also bought). I got interested early in comedy "novelty songs."

That tune was considered a love song in certain parts of Australia.

The Bonzos have several videos on YouTube and there's a box set of "Do Not Adjust Your Set" (which I have; it's great) with the Bonzos performing in every episode plus a young Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin (Terry Gilliam did animations for DNAYS but they don't show up on this set). And there's a "Bonzos 40th Anniversary" DVD...

What a blast from the past. I remember spinning one of their records back at campus radio in 68.
