I Loved Being There In The 60S

But as with every decade there was some dross songs, I’m in the kitchen prepping a salad as himself comes back from Wyndonham ? ( is that right)
Put Boom radio on….Paul and Paula singing their cheesy follow up to Hey Paul,then Freddie amd the Dreamers If you wanna make a fool of somebody but the biggest drosser had to be Wink Martindale and his pack of cards,but it was 1963 and it did get better :0)

Wymondham ?

[Bobbisox1]

That’s the place Canary , thanks ;0)

And what about "Tiptoe through the Tulips" by Tiny Tim?

[bobbinwales]

Boom sometimes plays a classic but I end up turning over when rubbish like 7 little girls siting in the back with Fred comes on

[Bobbisox1]

Yes I can see why Bobb :0/
It’s 1971 now, I’ll see what dross this year throws up haha
Tiny Tim and his tulips should have been shot with chit bgh

Oh -oh, Where's ya Momma gone now , hahaha

Lily the Pink. Awful

Yellow Submarine. awful

The Pop Charts have always been susceptible to invasion by what I consider inappropriate invaders like Deck of Cards and Seven Little Girls. In this category I would add such songs (not all 60s necessarily) as Rolf's Two Little Boys, Max's Pink Toothbrush, Ken's Tears, St Winifred's Grandma and of course the appallingly bad taste Ding Dong.

[Bobbisox1]

I’d agree Canary ,Ding Dong?

[MissTerious]

Wells is near us. I used to work there. My son went to school at Wymondham. One of the very few state boarding schools.

///Wymondham. Pronounced windam. Daft init!!!///

One of Norfolk's little quirks. But the good folk of Sheringham(Norfolk) didn't agree so clarified it when they named one of their streets Wyndham Street (containing the pub Wyndham Arms).

[MissTerious]

Canary, are you still in Norfolk?

[Canary42]

And didn't the BBC refuse to play Chuck Berry's My Ding-a-ling - that may have been the Mary Whitehouse affect though.

[bhg481]

Canary - is "Ding Dong" "my Ding-a-ling"?

[Canary42]

/// Canary, are you still in Norfolk? ///

No, I left Sheringham in 1972 but go back very occasionally - they've got a splendid little museum there now which I was very taken with on my last visit in 2019.

[Canary42]

No bhg, the full title is Ding Dong the Witch is Dead and I think it was an old Disney version (or re-make of same) which topped the charts when Margaret Thatcher died.

[Bobbisox1]

I like the quirky beach huts on the beach, only place up here that have them ,is Blyth

[Redhelen72]
