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.

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.
