What things/ characters have you created only to discover that Angus Deyton created them 20 years ago ?
I've got the LP - that is a record before the days of CD.
Meaningless songs in very high voices
want me to dig it out?
You probably don't want to know but here it is.
Side 1.
Meaningless Songs - the Heebeegeebees
Dancing up the wall - Jack Michalson
Dead Cicada - the Beagles
Quite ahead of my time - David Bowwow
Youre my son - Kenny Rogered
Boring song - Status Quid
Side 2
Ah - Heebeegeebees
Too depressed to commit suicide - the Peecees
Granma - St Winalots Reform School Choir
Music Machine - Babba
Oh me - Larry Pilson
Bird of Peace - Neil Dung, Bob Vylan, The Bland, Frank Sumatra, Dean Martian, Leonard Crowing, George Harrassing
It also features Phil Pope.
I bought it around 1981 - played it about twice because the "joke" wears thin - but the packaging etc spoof is much better than the music inside.
