Woke up this morning with a song in my head, can`t stop.....

[iandbeech]

....humming it now!! I don`t even like it but can`t get rid of it!!

The song? "Mouldy old dough" by Leutenant Pigeon! One for the older PHers!!

Already sought!

For those too young to know it, it`s an instrumental utilising an old out of tune pub piano, a snare drum and a flute - and a gravel voice "singing" the words "Moudly old dough"

[Eric Mc]

And it reached No.1 in the charts in 1972 - beating the likes of David Bowie, T-Rex and Roxy Music.

The charts were very eclectic in those days. Not only did the big "pop" acts of the day sell loads of records, but loads of one-off oddball songs and tunes made it into the top 10 and often made No.1. Apart from "Mouldy Old Dough" you had non-pop tunes such as "Galloping Home" (the theme from the TV series "Black Beauty", "Eye Level" (the theme from "Van Der Valk", the pipe band version of "Amazing Grace" etc etc.

"Eye Level" (the theme from "Van Der Valk"

That was my favourite tune when I was about 3 or 4. I wouldn't go to sleep until I'd heard it - every night. It eventually broke, and I was inconsolable.

Also don't forget... the Floral Dance! Shocker.

Anyone got Devil Woman by Ringo Starr? Awesome.

You evil b'stard I can't get that out of my head now.

replace it with:

"We are the cheeky girls, we are the cheeky girls, you are the cheeky boys, you are the cheeky boys"

and keep repeating it.

Leutenant Pigeon were notable for being, I believe, the only band in history to reach number one in the charts with the lead singers Mum on piano.

Um - wasn't that by Cliff Richard?

Spooky!!! - I had the same (Lt. Pigeon) song going through my head all last night! At least I knew the reason - I was busy doing some work (Reading PH!) and fired up some mp3's, clicked onto the wrong playlist and that was the 1st song to come on (and even more embarassing, I actually left it playing!)
