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.

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.
