Mr Gasp is just running through a few of those on Spotify.

So far we've had:

Right Said Fred (made me sad, hearing dear Bernard Cribbins Sad)
Nelly the Elephant
Loving you has made me bananas
Run Rabbit Run

I'm hoping for A Windmill in Old Amsterdam soon.

Any other suggestions?

Fastest milman in the west

I have a soft spot for Two Little Boys. Unfortunately, its hard to find a version by a different artist.

I'm a Gnu now. If we stick with Flanders and Swann, I'll be delighted.

@PuttingDownRoots, yes, that's pity. Several songs in that category now.

There once was a Windmill in Old Amsterdam ... I saw a mouse ! Where? There on the stair! Where on the stair? Right there! A little mouse with clogs on ...

Pardon me boy, is that the chattanooga choo choo

My old man said follow the van

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow wow

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

I saw mummy kissing santa claus

Grandfathers clock ... and the clock stopped never to go again when the old man died.

Lots of old music hall songs, my nan used to sing them all the time

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini…apparently I loved it as a kid!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 20/04/2024 18:48

Many worthy candidates mentioned now! We're now onto The Gasman Cometh, which is just as relevant as it was 70 odd years ago.

Mersey dotes and dozy dotes
The warthog song
There's a hole in my bucket
Chick chick chicken

🎼🎶 How much is that doggy in the window?

🎼🎶 Yes, we have no bananas

🎼🎶 And her dream came true quite unexpectedly in.....

My favourite version of The Typewriter song... due to the antics of the Typewriter player. (You need to keep watching)

Loved that! Many thanks.
