FRIDAY


On a Scottish radio show, being broadcast live from the south bank of the River Clyde, with a predominantly Scottish audience, there must be room for a short, (2:26), silly, Scottish song performed in the Dundee vernacular!


Paolo! What are the odds?


'Eh Umna Therefore Eh Um' - Saint Andrew

# 1 I'm up for that one being played. Or that toilet one you keep mentioning that never gets played, even though it's very funny and most listeners can relate to it.
Keep it Scotchish! ;o)

A great chance to air Britain's Comedy Kings of Pop - The Barron Knights!

Been to see them live on many occasions and their parody and wit never fail to entertain.

"A Taste of Aggro" from 1978 is a fine example of their art.

Kick off the show with The Laughing Policeman.

My Uncle Bert was a Policeman in Gloucester and, when I was wee, I believed him when he told me that it was him singing. Any time I hear the song, I think of his cheery face

#1 about the same as Norrie sipping on a mineral water.

This theme dus perfectly set up for scotch as guest producer.
Suggest a Jake thackray song and we'll all second it

#3 another master of parody was Allan Sherman. I used to hear my dads albums when I was wee nut it was only much later I realised they were parodies of big songs of the day. The cleverest by far was
You went the wrong way old king Louie
which was a take on you came a long way from St Louis. Very funny and very clever.

If you allow some spoken skits you could do worse than Bob Newharts
Introducing tobacco to civilisation.

I'll put up £25 for Scotch to be guest producer, nae joke

Eh, Paolo, maybe I should have put :) on #3.

I'm in DC.

#8 too late Adam, living in the colonies must give you a few barren nights...???


come on folks,


BRING US SCOTCH GIT AS THE GET IT ON PRODUCTION HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA

ooops!

forgot Adam's :-)

DC great shout, I would happily contribute to see S Git esq. produce a show.

I would also happily match that to make sure some contributors are never let near the chair....the producers chair I mean....

That's a big red nose Richard.

Bryan has one too...

'Happy Days Are Here Again' ... the one + only (often misunderstood) Tiny Tim

well it's not a belly-laugh but it is quite amusing....for Dylan anyway...

Clothes Line Saga - Bob Dylan

Paul from Ayr

The Jeely Piece Song: Matt McGinn

#12

£25 for Scotch Git - the people's Henri Hannah

#10/#12/18

count me in!

hurray! Glen's back!

that's my apostrophe limit for the day reached now.

Bryan - I haven't had a song played for such a long time I'm feeling sad and neglected. If you were to play a song that includes my name it would make me such a happy colleen!


Three Men From Carntyne - Billy Connolly


Play it for me and DC!

;o)

#18 - Glen Miller - Where have you been? Do you have a suntan? We should be telt!

;o)

#7 - #9 - #18 - #19 - I'm in! After I pick up my cheque for £90,000,000 I'll donate the first £25 to the Scotch Git Appeal

;o)

The Hee Bee Gee Bees - 'Meaningless Songs (In Very High Voices)'

how about one from scotland's funniest man...........

'last train to glasgow central'........billy connolly

and i'm not asking for this request because i was mistaken for the great man himself one night in the citizen's theatre.......the person was seriously crestfallen when i turned round from propping up the interval bar.....i had assumed the tap on the shoulder was code for ......'what are you having'....... but before i could blurt out .....'make it a pint of heavy' (naw, not in the citizens),the shoulder tapper just said..........'no, it's not him'.
so sorry to disappoint.

billy actually wrote a nice play called 'the red runner' which i saw at the pavilion.

cheers frae the dale.

#18

I'm in - £25:00 for Scotch Git - the people's henri hannah..Yes!

Welcome back,faither.

regardez youse

#5 Mineral water? What devilish substance is that?

Elvis Are You Lonesemoe Tonight (Laughing Version)

no matter how many times you hear it....I'm still convinced it is Cissy Houston he is laughing at.

As a parent, I've found that modern children's TV has thrown up some fantastically silly songs...

Silly Song from Jim Jam & Sunny is a short piece of ridiculous magic that will have everyone smiling and singing along, even if it's the first time you've heard it.

However by far and away the best song of this type is
Bestest In The Barn from Charlie & Lola
Please get this on, so that anyone who has not yet heard this genius can experience it.

The Inbetweenies ~ The Goodies maybe....

The Capn is too busy munching his way through his Tiffin boxes clearly and if I must hear the following total dross I may as well request it:

Divine Comedy - My Lovely horse

(Capn has a ahem ;o) copy, or you could just use the version on the cd single of Gin soaked Boy)

while I'm here I might as well request:

David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome

for your trivia delight the Gnome is actually Gus Dungeon who produced loads of Elton John stuff.

And who says old Dylan is po faced:

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle—you can raise the dead

Wiggle ’til you’re high, wiggle ’til you’re higher
Wiggle ’til you vomit fire
Wiggle ’til it whispers, wiggle ’til it hums
Wiggle ’til it answers, wiggle ’til it comes

Bob Dylan - Wiggle Wiggle

how about something for all the gaelic listeners out there on the islands, especially the children.............

'engine,tractor agus van'..............donny dotaman

he's brilliant


cheers frae the dale

The Count - Born To Count....

Monty Python - 'I Bet You They Won't Play This Song on the Radio'

My sesame Street credentials are ruined forever. Can I correct #34 with my fellow arithmomaniac:

Count Von Count - Born To Add

sigh, my life is ruined.

Bruce Stringbean - Born to Add

it is available on CD.

#20 I'm off tae jyne the Parish.....

Here! Where's Scotch? Is he negotiating terms?

DC

Frank Zappa has written some really funny songs most of which cant be played on primetime radio but ther's a track called "Dancing Fool"about an unfortunate disco dancer which the beeb has played a few times and is hilarious.You cant go wrong with the Bonzos so either "Intro and Outro"or one for the dancing fool "Do the Trouserpress,Baby"Cheers,Willie Bartke

#39
Inspired shout Willie B ... seconds for Zappa and 'Dancing Fool'

'Over The Rainbow'
'Hey Jude'
'I've Never Seen a Straight Banana
'Bye Bye Blackbird'
'I Got You Babe'
'On The Old Front Porch'

wierdly different? ... perhaps
always able to raise a smile? ... most definately
a four octave delight!

Tiny Tim, of course ...

#33

deagh beachd!

agus treas airson 'Amadan a' dannsa'

I dont remember Scotch Git putting his name forward for a go at producing, but happy to back him if he's keen.
However, I know someone who'll get his call centres in a twist if SG gets in before him.
And 25 nicker is batatas pequenas compared to what he has offered in the past for a Friday night at the helm.

I also think Henri Hannah (the Thinking Man's Scotch Git) is more interested in Bryan's seat rather than Babs'.




Good to see you back GM. You've been missed.

Let's Recycle - The McCalmans
Me Neither - Brad Paisley
The Wilbury Twist - Traveling Wilburys

but what I'd really like to hear is Bryan keeping his face straight while having another attempt at announcing that the next record will be

Don't Sit on my Jimmy Shands

MUSCLE HORSE from 25 YEARS OF BEING CHILDISH by BILLY CHILDISH AND SEXTON MING
DOLPHIN BOY from PANTS by CORKY AND THE JUICE PIGS
