One of my dear Daddy's favourite songs... which Mum HATED... and which led to many a laugh growing up!
The Goons and "The Ying Tong Song"...
The Goons and "The Ying Tong Song"...
Unfortunately for Mum, my brother Gordon & sister Marion also loved the song, and my sister's bedroom was up 2 flights of stairs... so she'd put it on and crank up the volume on her record player... and the opening strains would barely have sounded before Mum was there at the bottom of the stairs yelling "TURN THAT SHITE OFF!!!"
Dad I'm sure was around somewhere within earshot having a quiet snigger to himself.
I'll bet Heaven's ringing with the sounds of The Goons, Dad laughing and Mum cursing!
When I was a kid my dad used to play this a lot too! My mam hated it. The B-side of the single was "I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas"

I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas
Across the Irish Sea
I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas
It's the only thing, for me!
I've tried walking sideways,
And walking to the front,
But people just look at me,
And say it's a publicity stunt.
