Them there silly songs
Every now and then (well, rather less now than then) there would be a 'nonsense' song released that for some bizarre reason did relatively well in the charts. Let's talk a walk down memory lane and see if they are still as catchy!
I'll start with these:
Ray Moore - o' my father had a rabbit.mp4 - YouTube
The Firm - "Star Trekkin'" - ORIGINAL VIDEO - HQ - YouTube
The chicken song - YouTubeLast edited by Legs; 03-05-2012 at 20:02.
