This one came to mind this morning:

There’s a Kind oh Hush All Over The World
Herman’s Hermits

Did the Three Degrees sing When Will I See you Again?

Granny bags, The three degrees.

For me, Bird of Paradise by Snowy White. And, White Rabbit
By Jefferson Airplane.

Remember, what the door mouse said, “keep your head, keep your head”

What about Alone Again, Naturally, by Gilbert O'Sullivan

Paul McCartney wrote Rupert and the Frog Song, by the way.

Even though it's about a pregnant woman during a nuclear holocaust the one I keep returning to is Breathing by Kate bush. That one and Always look on the bright side of life, Monty Python. Couldn't be 2 more different types of songs, could there?

I remember singing How much is that Doggie in the Window 27 times running to my daughter when she was a baby to try to get her off to sleep. Did nothing for her but I was ready to slit my wrists.......

Fennel Fri 17-Apr-20 18:27:17

I remember the Bimbo song, there were a lot of similar silly songs in those days.
Like
"Open the door - Richard
Open door and let me in!"
"No way - you might have CV grin"

Beechnut Fri 17-Apr-20 12:02:37

Jim Reeves was singing the Bimbo YouTube I watched Auntieflo

Auntieflo Fri 17-Apr-20 08:31:06

It wasn't Petula Clark singing "Bimbo", was it?

Do you also remember her singing "Little Blue Man"

travelsafar Fri 17-Apr-20 08:24:03

Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire ; loved this as a fourteen year old when at school and into world affairs.
It was thinking that the end would be at the press of a button but 55 years later that song has got a powerful message it's a virus in fact coronavirus. The words back then have as much meaning today.

or maybe Hey, Fatty BumBum . I can't remember who sang that !

tiredoldwoman Thu 16-Apr-20 12:43:54

Alone Again - Naturally - Gilbert O'Sullivan ?

MissAdventure Thu 16-Apr-20 12:39:24

I like The Travelling Wilburys and End of the Line- "Well it's alright! Even if you're old and grey."
