Once upon a memory I was in the boys choir at Clydebank High School and the choir was to sing in the Glasgow festival of music.
The songs that year (you had to perform two) were.. the witch.... uh something, can't recall this at all.
However the other was along the lines of "Oh where have you been Billy boy Billy boy? Oh where have you been OH darling Billy?
The title may have had Billy in it.
Billy goes on to explain his new found love is "twice six, twice seven, twice twenty and eleven, she's a young thing and cannot leave her mother"
perhaps she could tie up with the soldier soldier dude with his musket.?
I only mention this because of brain worms, songs that get hooked in there and won't go away.
With Seattle Kate, a Scambell waded up to her in a warm Caribbean sea and sang the Mr Hankie the Christmas Poo song to her, knowing for the rest of the holiday it would be lodged into her brain........ and it was.......
However now things have changed, Scambell has a grand daughter of great beauty who lives on the Isle of Bute, said wee one is just past two years and has a love of "In the night garden".
Her grampa Scambell got her the Night Garden CD and played it for her all of last Saturday as he took her and the clan to Blair Drummond Safari park and wallet emptier.
Scambell has woken up in the last three days singing........ "Yes my name is Iggle Piggle, Iggle wiggle Piggle Iggle Piggle, yes my name is Iggle Piggle Iggle wiggle wiggle woo".
I have now taken to singing it in the office, initially the guys though it was funny, but now I believe there's a price on my head (10 shillings and 6 pence in this style).
My fear is now I can remember the Macka Packa song....... HELP!!!!!!!!!
For those of you who don't know of "In the night garden" think, Tele tubbies writers, but this time on crack cocaine.
