And, see, what I love about Rundgren's novelty songs, whether you like them or not, they're never throwaway. He puts just as much care, attention and effort into these as he does with his more soulful, serious output. In case you're not familiar with Todd, he's the only person on this (unreleased) track. All his own backing vocals, the lot:
Horse racing - Derek & Clive Back in the DHSS - Half Man Half Biscuit The Trumpton Riots - Half Man Half Biscuit All I want for christmas is a Dukla Prague away kit - Half Man Half Biscuit The Chicken Song - Spitting Image !
half-man half-biscuit, deep joy indeed, and on that note has stanley unwin got a shout yet?
new christy minstrels - 3 wheels on my wagon the troggs - the troggs tapes cw mc call - convoy king missile - detachable penis half man half biscuit - fuckin' 'ell its fred titmus
No love for 99% of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd, tropics?
then half man half biscuit are not for you then...tbh i was not much of a fan as punk erupted, but got them over time...try : national shite day, dukla prague, referees alphabet...as much as any band, they really GET football, that must count for something allwibble?
Everything's AOR, or Outbreak of Vitas Geralitius off McIntyre, Treadmore and Davitt. But all off the 2 Back in the DHSS are hysterical. Nellie the Elephant by The Toy Dolls?
There's a lot of good Zappa ones: Penis Dimension The Groupie Routine Dumb All Over The Heavenly Bank Account Suicide Chump Dinah-Moe Humm, etc etc.
My favourite comedy xmas song is "Inadmissable" by a band called Bah & The Humbugs (about Santa trying and failing to get through US Border Control). Their song, The Christmas Tree From hell is good too.
Splodgenessabounds did a few, Michael Booth's talking bum, the bicycle seat, socks, Simon Templar, two pints of lager and a packet of crisps. Also one called 'saying goodbye to his horse' which I used to think was in some way linked to the chant but it isn't.
