Now here's a little number that you can all sing along to –

The Goons, "The Ying Tong Song" (1956)

Went to No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart, I'll have you know, because it is the epitome of "novelty"!

Good afternoon.
I do hope your your Tong is sufficiently Yinged today? Not to mention your Iddle-I Po.

You're very welcome.

Advent Calendar - 02 - The Goons - I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas

I loved The Goons, I think my dad imposed them upon me - but had no problem with that. To be honest a lot of my early experience of them wasn't hearing them, but reading the scripts

Great to see Spike the Play at the New Theatre in Cardiff last night - a funny biopic of the Goons and in particular the role Spike Milligan played and how he came up against the BBC. Great Q&A at the end too featuring Spike’a daughter, Jane Milligan, and Nick Newman who co-wrote the play with Ian Hislop.
