    One of my old man's favourites Stan. I grew up listening to his parodies & songs

    Banana Boat Song
    Great Pretender
    Heartbreak Hotel
    Rock Island Line
    St George & the Dragonet
    John & Marsha
    Tele-Vee-shun



    Endless list, my old fella will be gutted.

    It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, RIP.

    For those of us old enough to recall Johnnie Ray this is one of his best. Especially the "dramatic" bit near the end which is totally flat.

    Yeah my Dad introduced me to his stuff and I got all my mates into it when we were teenagers and we used to quote lines all the time and still do whenever we meet up.

    One of the many things that make me remember my old man with a smile on my face.
