Your own version and the official - so light and gay, the music, and very kind to add the links and lyrics (to me text is as important as the funny little squeak of the rubber-duck in the beginning of the song). <br />And I share your surprise that I detect in the sentence in brackets ("In January 1971 (fifty years ago!").

I read that although Vivian Stanshall came from an ordinary background, his parents made him attend elecution lessons to acquire a cultured accent, which is a big part of the act.

I LOVED hearing the different versions, including yours of Mickey's Son and Daughter! Reassuringly bonkers! I have a CD of Gorilla but, unfortunately, my player is broken and I SO want a Gorilla session. Will have a tinker with it! Thank you for reminding me of a great album.Catmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08215150771742045046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023204082711630211.post-85142002271534248152021-01-28T03:54:08.527+00:002021-01-28T03:54:08.527+00:00How fun!
