August 17, 20159 yr ARGH, SO HARD TO CHOOSE A WINNER BETWEEN THE SKIDS AND PATRICK HERNANDEZ. TWO OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVES OF ALL TIME. +30 The Skids - Into The Valley +29 Patrick Hernandez - Born To Be Alive +28 The Specials Feat.

August 17, 20159 yr Patrick Hernandez survived till about number 32 and had to go, Skids a bit lower. Glad to see most of my other contenders that just missed in the other charts, though. The Ugly Duckling was a childhood fave of mine by Kenneth Connors (of Carry On films, as Winnie The Pooh on record - I'm still looking for this album replacement), and also Danny Kaye's Disney version so I couldn't take this Cockney geezer version. I went into spasms of loathing when it came on the radio :lol:

August 18, 20159 yr The Ugly Duckling was a childhood fave of mine by Kenneth Connors (of Carry On films, as Winnie The Pooh on record - I'm still looking for this album replacement), and also Danny Kaye's Disney version so I couldn't take this Cockney geezer version. I went into spasms of loathing when it came on the radio :lol: You sure it was Kenneth Connor? Bernard Cribbins did a UK version of the entire Danny Kaye EP (or vice versa) with The Ugly Duckling, King's New Clothes, Inchworm etc.
August 18, 20159 yr You sure it was Kenneth Connor? Bernard Cribbins did a UK version of the entire Danny Kaye EP (or vice versa) with The Ugly Duckling, King's New Clothes, Inchworm etc. Sadly I still remember the cover :lol: - it was a budget album release in blue of Winnie The Pooh and Other favourites. You inspired me to google and I was surprised to find it right away. I now have misty-eyes and have come over all nostalgic just looking at the cover and track listing jogging so many memories! http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/aly...ens_favourites/ cheers!
August 18, 20159 yr The tracklisting sounds very familiar. I'm sure I had one with Tubby the Tuba on it too. I always found the fact that "Christopher Robin went down with Alice" weird - that two characters from different stories both went to visit the Queen at the same time.
August 18, 20159 yr The tracklisting sounds very familiar. I'm sure I had one with Tubby the Tuba on it too. I always found the fact that "Christopher Robin went down with Alice" weird - that two characters from different stories both went to visit the Queen at the same time. In these cynical days one wonders whether Chris going down with Alice and visiting queens might be taken another way entirely! It can only be a matter of time before Bruce Wayne is yewtreed as a serial offender of young boys, what with forcing them into tight underpants and going around seedy areas at night while being their "ward" :teresa:

August 19, 20159 yr I'm so surprised at the lack of love for Wall Street Shuffle, a brilliant clever and bitter attack on the rich bankers and investors with amazing riffs...! :o
