jazzbo Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Do They Know It's Songkran After all? well I'm working on the lyrics principally inspired by the line: Where the only water flowing is a bitter sting of tears ... Right -- How about that last bucket of water thrown in your face? ... and maybe " ... and your talcum powder smears' ? ... it even rhymes. (Chorus): Here's to you Raise your jug for everyone knows Here's to them Underneath the fire hose.. Hey! ... work-in-progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) You need to get out more ! ... maybe but this is the week I do my best not to get out ...' The Bucket of Water Song' has a nice sea-chantey style there with nursery-rhyme type lyrics ... a good effort from the Benny Hill crowd Given all that there's room for a new one with a bit more sarcasm.

Puccini Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yes, it's got a nice melody. I didn't see Benny Hill in the video, though. Is his show still running on British television? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf5370 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Not Benny Hill (he's dead!) - this was OTT (Over The Top) - that brought us several commedy stars: Alexei Sayle, Helen Atkinson-Wood, John Gorman, Lenny Henry, Chris Tarrant, Bob Carolgees and Spit-The-Dog. Also gave us the naked balloon dance (half a dozen fat men dancing naked with balloons covering their bits 'n' pieces - ends with the balloons whizzing off). Circa early 80's. Very silly, and quite funny - but terribly dated now. It was actually an offshoot of Tiswas (spelling?) which was a Saturday morning kids programme - some of the same people in it, but the "guys" were getting a bit too naughty and getting complaints, but also masses of viewers, so they made an adult version for after the 9pm watershed. I was in my early teens then, so loved it! Edited April 15, 2011 by wolf5370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that was Tiswas, which started in 1974. OTT started in the 80's with much the same cast but it was a late night show intended for a more adult audience, what they got was the same audience that may or may not have grown up a little bit.
