The Goodies - Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me

[bodsnvimto]

Was this really the A side? I thought it was 'The Inbetweenies' with this on the flip.

Either way, did anyone else who owned it ever notice that - long before the era of colour vinyls - it was not an opaque black single like the rest, but a very, very dark purple & slightly translucent disc?

[johncoxy2112]

I love this song !

[tube2007rhw]

A very dark song if you thing about a certain way

[bodsnvimto]

@tube2007rhw

It was the 70s,thus the thinking was very different then (If you don't believe me then check out Love Thy Neighbour - YIKES!!), but, given your comment, it seems like the female warmed up to Santa towards the end & possibly even had a baby by him, so no harm done, eh!

At the end of a long and stressful day, wise people like to relax with a track from The Goodies from their heyday in the mid-'70s. For some reason, this reminds me of a former colleague recently retired. Gotta hand it to these three - they ran what was described as a 'children's program' on the BBC but most of the humour - except for the silly running around bits - was definitely pitched at an adult audience.

Dear chimp114. Please learn to read and write before attempting to post a comment. Or at least learn to walk upright.

~"Oh me name is Adolf Hitler" he informed her as he met her!~

~Adolf Hitler do not touch me!~

~He's a most immoral Nazi! He's a most immoral Nazi!~

Yes, I'm very aware that I am sad

[JBofBrisbane]

@narutocub13 - I call Godwin on you, sir.

[narutocub13]

@JBofBrisbane I have no idea what/who/where/how/when that is so... I'll just hide under my bed until you call it off

[minidave54]

[estrontube]

I like most of The Goodies but this is rubbish.

[storm643]

[160newcrossroad]

fucking marvelous.. youtube provides thanks for posting :-)

[doctorwhoobawooba]

I think Funky Gibbon's better than this. O_o

[sassalaven]

Ohhhhhhhhh,,! This was in the collective of records that were in the house when i was about 6. Now forty, and doing the housework, it came in my head. Took me right back. The picture of the record. The 'hello' at the end. The goodies represented the great british comedy that is the envy of the world..Nice one.Thanks for posting it..

[geolabuk]

This was banned by the BBC but it still made Number 7 in the UK charts - why isn't it played as an Xmas single now?

[Dyynamo]

They played the B side on the radio and on TV programmes so it sold on that.

[gundrag000]

@geolabuk plaese do touch you

[banter57]

Haha. It's political correctness gone mad.

[daniellacatton]

[remeclerk]

[mrgayspank]

Love to see it re-released but can you imagine the uproar if it was ??????????

[remeclerk]

LOL they would ban it!!!

[TheWacoKid1963]

Local radio dj Tony Horne played this on his breakfast show last week lol brought back some very happy memories.

[RobertHartlepool]

To the tune of John Brown's dead this is obviously just a rip off of the old classic "Oh Sir Jasper"

"She wears her silk pyjamas in the summer when it's hot,

She wears her frilly nightie in the winter when it's not,

but early in the springtime and later on when in the fall,

she jumps into the bed with nothing on at all.

Oh Sir Jasper do not touch me,

Oh Sir Jasper do not touch me,

Oh Sir Jasper do not touch me,

as she lay between the frilly white sheets with nothing on at all."

[oliv140589]

i haven't heard this in years, used to listen to it all the time when i was bout 8/9

[wildenfree]

I got this record..brilliant, and if you held the record up to the light it was dark red.revolutionary for the early 70s!!

[he11mistress]

This is the funniest record!!! I agree 'I can't little girls bigger ones are better.' Is such a great line. Perhaps some of todays song wirters should adopt the Goodies style lol x

[Stringfell0wHawke]

I can't stand little girls, bigger ones are better! Absolutely classic lyrics, says it all and leaves georgeous vision in minds eye :)

[Stringfell0wHawke]

He's a most immoral Santa hoohoo :)

[enothewonderdog]

I'm having a fit of the giggles - I had the single but obviously wasn't allowed to listen to it by Mum back when I was 'young'. In fact it wasn't until my wife pointed out it was rude last year that I realised it was maybe naughty.. frighteningly I'm now 43..

[dodgyclubsinger]

I'm 43 too... The Inbetweenies was, I'm sorry to say, the first song I ever bought. But I used to listen to Father Christmas (very quietly) every day. :)

[enothewonderdog]

It never even struck me - in fast it was teh step boys singing the song to their father and him suggesting it was funnya couple of years ago that I even had a hint it was rude!

[mintjosh]

this song is rly wired......

my dad loves it tho...

lol
