Miss Chuckle Cherry - My Pussycat

                                                                                                                                                 

I'm not sure where I first came across this 1972 record, it may have been on a CD of reply songs, I think the copy used on the you Tube video is my copy as I am sure that my copy had writing on the "A" side, for my scan to be used I must have posted this on the original blog.

Bees - Toy Bell

For some reason I always thought this 1954 was the original version of My Ding A Ling until I discovered the 1952 Dave Bartholomew version. 

When the Chuck Berry Version of this song was in the UK charts under the title 'My Ding A Ling', the clean up TV campaigner Mary Whitehouse commented on the record saying 'its disgusting, It's all about masturbating' sales went up.

Mike Harding - Christmas 1914


Released 1977, the Christmas Truce happened in World War One, Mike Harding has the correct year, I have come across records giving it as 1915 even 1916. When I was young there were many veterans from the First World War around, sadly the last of then died a few years ago, now age is taking the survivors of the Second World War,

Johnny Alvin - Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer


Sorry this track does not seem to be on YouTube, it may be there among the hundreds of Alvin & the Chipmunks version of this song, this track is on a par with "Santa Wrecked My 'Lectric Train Set"
