I remember this song very well-my aunt sang this to my younger cousin-she said to my mum-"shall we have chucky eggs and soldiers and baby oranges?"for tea-and we did x
What's the song? My old computer says 'this video format is not supported' but if I knew the title, I could look it up on YouTube. In the '70s, I listened to music from the '60s, was a new nurse, a newlywed, and in 1979, a new mom! Yes, devoted Dorothy may have found her calling. :)
An awful song, but somehow strangely mesmerising! I used to just have a bowl of hot bubbly water for my aching feet, lucky you to have Dorothy on hand. xx
I remember this from TOTP in the early 70s. And Little Willy by The Sweet which as schoolboys we found highly amusing. We wrote the names of groups in bubble letters on the front of our school books, although can't recall Middle of the Road being very hip. T. Rex were the thing.
I think I have a winner

ReplyDeleteMy Irish Mother in law used to say chucky eggs, have not heard that term for quite a while.
DeleteOoh we always said 'chucky eggs' too, I'm from Manchester.
DeleteYou could hire that bulldog out.
ReplyDeleteYes, to chase them off the stage! I was 11 in 1971 and hated it then...it hasn't improved with time!
DeleteTo your answer of what you need.. to retire... when you do you may agree with me..'Best job I've ever had'

ReplyDeleteI am not going to play that clip - I don't want the song bouncing around my brain for the rest of the day!

ReplyDeleteI can just see you in that electric blue outfit 😜
ReplyDeleteNothing like putting your feet up at the end of a long day,
ReplyDeleteI've not heard that song for years I used to love it and Rubber Bullets by 10cc, another favourite you should dig out.
ReplyDeleteThe 70's did have their share of one hit wonders, no?
ReplyDeleteXOXO
I remember this song so good. Oh I feel old
ReplyDeleteWell, I tracked that song down, and discovered that I have not missed a thing by being unfamiliar with it. Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep.
