Do they drink Um Bongo in the Congo?

[Skebo32]

Or did the Hippo, the Python, the Marmoset and the Parrot lie to me all those years ago? Say it ain't so.....:(

[Booldawg]

I think they are more wrapped up in civil unrest, economic strife and financial exploitation from the West to sip fruit cordials noisily through a straw.

That's another dream shattered for me.

There was such a product but the name is very non PC these days

[jno]

it sounded like Little Plum Your Redskin Chum, a way of talking that was just about tolerable in the Beano in the 1950s but was getting rather embarrassing for adults in the 1980s.

um how, paleface

[Brinjal]

Lol

[rockyracoon]

Eddie, you can still get it in Asda apparently.

Looking forward to a po faced PC picket at Asda.


I tried it with vodka about thirty years ago, not bad.

Um Bongo, that's a blast from the past. Never tried it with vodka, though.

Way down deep in the middle of the Congo,
A hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango.
He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.
The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo"
Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.
The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin.
The parrot painted packets, that the whole caboodle landed in.
So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle,
They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!

[rockyracoon]

I still remembered the words to that lol, it's a very memorable advert.

[Kiki-frog]

Blimey, Skebo, don't tell me you really remember all that. Or have you been on YouTube?

[Skebo32]

Found it!
