I can't tell you how many years I've had this tune in my head!!! Go Keith Cheguin.. what a great song. Well done and thank you for posting this on YouTube.. so many great memories.
I'm sure the award with a rainbow on it was called an 'Eric' and that's what they sing about in the chorus. From memory Eric was a 'behind the scenes' character that nobody ever saw or heard. But when a competition winner was being chosen from a load of cards sent in by viewers they used to lower the container holding the cards from the ceiling and they used to ask 'Eric' to lower the container? Clear as mud? Hope that helps !
@jowie74 Yes it was! He produced their theme tune and he wanted them to do something funny so got them all into a spoof band , and this is what came out of it!
Great song - brings back good memories of my childhood TV life. Keith Chegwin was the only person in this clip who actually played an instrument on the recording.
Am I the only one thinking "lucky old Oscar"?

Actually answering my own question here I have a feeling the "Noel" award is "The Golden Egg Award" given out on his Late Late Breakfast show.
