Omfg! I'm either ashamed to be British or just reeling from the weird nostalgia from just the names involved... Thank You! (I think)... I will burn a bunch of these as Xmas presents for friends, and spread the love (along with its attendant pain).

Also a reccommend to anyone who digs on this - the cast recording from the '60s show "Share My Lettuce", which shot Kenneth Williams to fame, and anything by the excellent musical comedy duo Flanders & Swann (in particular "The Wompom").

Peace, merry xmas n ting...

Hell yes! This is what I've been wanting to hear and didn't know it. Holy Crap! Thanks David.

Elliott Peters

Huge thanks for these... I'm British and all these names mean a lot to me. That Les Dawson track had me crying with laughter bringing back many fond memories of a true Great in British comedy history.

Walter Brennan

Superb post, matron!

David Noades

Thanks for the kind comments guys, I hoped this would brighten up your Christmas.

If anyone's interested the CD cover shot of Charles Hawtrey (who sadly doesn't appear on the compilation - he never recorded any records) was taken from a 1970 Sunday Mirror magazine cover, an article about keeping fit.

Cary on laughing!

So what the hell is a 'Guvnor Throat' ? I'm doin me nut here John.
A wonderful selection of songs, many thanks. My partner is always going " Ooh, knickers knockers knackers! " and screwing her face up. . . I shall retaliate with the Freddy 'Parrot face' Davies number in her in box.
have a happy xmas and thanks for your excellent contributions to 365.

Thanks for these - Xmas is the time for nostalgia!
Guv'nor throat: is it the 'guv'nor' or the 'throat' bit which is causing confusion? The Adam's apple sticking out from the throat sometimes betrays the fact that a man in drag is not a woman, and 'guv'nor' means 'man', so Mike Reid is simply saying , I assume, that the person in the song has a man's throat. If only he'd told Ray Davies before he danced with Lola!

Great stuff - thanks. Let's have more like this.

I met Les Dawson once in Hong Kong (he was a friend of my landlady at the time) - he was just as lugubrious off stage as on.
