@Ampex196 I'm sure I could write a book on Ray Moore and would probably call it "Ray Moore the greatest friend I never had" - Thanks Paul Bowden

[paulbowden1]

Produced by Dennis O'keefe - or as Ray called him "Dentures no teeth!!"

Thank you for this posting - the end of the song with Ray's beautiful laugh brings tears to my eyes - thanks again Paul Bowden (Isle of Man) ex-loiner

So many memories hearing this song, reminds me also of the windsock at Gatport airwick and Pat and Mick with the stop go boards. Happy days.

One of the joys of YouTube is finding gems like this... I haven't heard this ditty in years, but I've never forgotten the line "She was running faster than a double-decker bus". Simple, gentle humour - proving you don't always have to be crude or ironic to raise a chuckle.

my friends thought I was crazy one night singing this!! I glad I proved to them that there was a called my father had a rabbit lol!!! I heard it only once as a child lmao!!

As a trucker i listened to Ray for years he was a truly unique presenter, when he was going off for a break his last records were always Ray Coniffs "For all we know "& Mike Leanders "Here there & everywhere". Brilliant stuff!

So funny. My mum used to kill herself laughing at the bit "I've never, ever seen my mother pass a motorbike". Surreal stuff!

Thanks for your comment. It's coming up 20 years since Ray died (shortly after his 47th birthday). It almost seems like yesterday.

20 years...god. I remember seeing him on Wogan when he was dying of throat cancer.

Classic, I haven't heard this since I was 10. Thanks for posting it.

[cutie2shooz]

Thank you for putting this on here!!!! I used to love this as a child!!!

[Ampex196]

I'm pleased you've found it here. It was released in 1986 (PLAY 213) for the benefit BBC Children In Need.

Ray was among the most professional of broadcasters' but was never afraid to send himself up, especially if it could raise a few 'bob' for a good cause.

Thanks for your comment.

loved ray moore every morning radio 2 he always played guy mitchell something to do with the pampas and he always mentioned MANEGMENT,,,, ALMA,, JUST LOVED RAY MOORE ,,, MARY LIVERPOOL THINK HE LIVED IN CHERRY LANE...

[conniff44]

I have been looking for this for years but could never remember Ray Moores name or the title so had little hope of finding it.

I remember it at the time of release and like many others who enjoyed Rays banter always had a laugh at it.

Thanks for posting Ampex.
