  • I love this and I want to play on my midmorning show.

    So if any one has an MP3 of this they would like to share.......

  • @RadioRuderham Send me your email address, I have this in a way better quality mp3 now than when I posted this.

  • I stumbled across the wildest stuff on youtube, and this is one of them. Never heard of it, was it just a song or was it like a children's tv program?

  • @gotch09 It was a hit single in the UK, reaching #5 in the singles chart in 1980. I believe the story within the song was based on a series of children's books, but I can't be sure.

  • "...and leaping off said 'FOLLOW ME!' and ran head first into a tree!" - this has stayed with me as one of the funniest things i heard as a kid. Brilliant

  • The BBC would ban this these days.

  • Indeed there are some rare gems on YouTube and I am glad I found this. I get really annoyed that there are websites that allow people to buy LEGAL MP3 tracks, but you have to be an employee of a radio station to get them and then have to cough yup £50 a month to get 25 songs . Still, gripe over. Great record, got to number 5 in UK chart. Was made popular after Noel Edmunds started playing it on his Sunday morning show on Radio 1.

  • @RadioRuderham erm get it on Bearshare I did but dont tell anyone

  • If you wanna see my childhood... this is it...

  • OH WOW THIS IS SO FUNNY, BECAUSE I CURRENTLY TRAIN KEITH, HE'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST FUNNIEST CHARACTERS I HAVE EVER MET.

  • I remembered I'd heard Keith Michell singing a catchy song now I found it

    fun.... thanks for posting.

  • omg 1980 were did 31 years go!

  • I've got this on LP. :D
