The back in the day thread

What when they 'were passing by' Leo?

 

my brother didn't know what those words were and used to sing 'Maresy dotes and dosey dotes and little lamsey divey'...can't sing it any other way lol

oh good gracious!

 

i used to be able to sing every verse of that song!

 

Without getting tongue tied or out of breath?

 

How about Shirley Abicare playing on her Zither - 'Little Boy Fishing'. I think it used to be on a Sunday afternoon.

 

Stop it Charlie and stop it now - or someone will go on about Muffin the Mule and Torchy Torchy the Battery Boy

 

yep ....not sure i could remember it all now, but if i could, i'd have a darn good go at doing it again! lol

 

Sorry Leo - I won't mention Mitch the Monkey in Supercar or my favourite Spotty dog in wooden tops (he used to walk everywhere but his feet never touched the ground following willie and his sister forgotten her name and there was Sam who used to help Mr Woodentop)

That programme was very un-PC 'Watch with Mother' now a-days it would have to be called 'Watch with a suitably Police cleared minder/carer'

 

Right now you've set me thinking to pre-school days - the Wooden tops were on on a Friday, Thursday was Rag,Tag and Bobtail, Wednesday the Flowerpot Men, Tuesday I think might have been Andy Pandy and that leaves Monday - Picture Book?

 

Wealthy enough to own a TV then Leo?

 

I do not do german very well.

 

I remember Listen with Mother before we had a TV - but Rag, Tag..was my favourite when we did get one. Andy Pandy always seemed to be a bit bizarre to me.

Talking of the old songs, have you seen the Audi advert that uses "Ugly Duckling"? - brilliant advert. Brought back memories of Puff The Magic Dragon as well!

 

There’s a tiny house
By a tiny stream
Where a lovely lass
Had a lovely dream
And her dream came true quite unexpectedly
In Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea

She was out one day
Where the tulips grow
When a handsome lad
Stopped to say hello
And before she knew he kissed her tenderly

The happy pair were married one Sunday afternoon
They left the church and ran away to spend their honeymoon
In a tiny house
By a tiny streamWhere the lovely lass
Had a lovely dream
And the last I heard they still live happily
