GOOD NONSENSE



My brother and I used to listen to the Ying Tong Song years before we were old enough to properly appreciate The Goons. It is still great to listen to. Apparently Spike Milligan had a bet with his brother Desmond that he couldn't get a song into the UK hit parade which only had two chords - G and D7. He won as it went to number two or three.

It's funny how corny they were back then, in hind sight, like the newsreels. Though I could be wrong.

Always loved this song.
The only thing that worries me is that Prince Charles also likes them.
That's scary.
I thought I had better taste than that.
