Another Oldie

[Quiznite]

My Grandad used to sing a silly ( was to me ) song with the lyrics ' susanna's a comical man ( parp ) fidlley diddley an ' Followed by lots of face pulling and farting noises' . Any ideas

Yup.....know it well, you couldn't have described it any better..!! No idea what it's called, but will investigate......

My grandad used to sing this to me too (he's a yorkshire man if that's any help!), I was hoping there'd be an answer to this by now - as i've been singing the bit above since I read your question on Tuesday - and my 5 year old son is intrigued!! I too will try and investigate!

Thanks all . Wonder if it's a local song I'm up in yorkshire too.

I remember the song too. As kids we had great fun singing it into tape recorders, getting it wrong and spending hours listening to our efforts whilst laughing at ourselves. I know a man who owns a recorded verision so I will return....

just been told about this by Si and I am He who owns that song...albeit on a 78rpm gramphone record!! the title is "The old sow" and the version I have was by a comic called Leslie Sarony. I reckon it is from about the 1940s...my gran knows the song so I reckon it is some kind of old folk song /children's song. I will get round to burning it onto cd one of these days!! regards, Ben (romko)
