JOLLITY FARM- The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band


I'm feeling a bit PISSED OFF at the moment, so here is some good ole English Morris Dancing, to the musical accompaniment of the Bonzo Dog boys. A perfect combination.

I first saw the Bonzo Dogs in about 1966, at the Black Cat pub' in Catford. They were spectacular; one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Life was good, and Viv Stanshall and Neil Innes at their best. 

Yet another Art College band; they seem to hold the monopoly.

    1. I think 'Urban Spacemen' was quite a hit record. They were a fun band.

  2. Hah! I too (a long time ago) had heard the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band! I suspect far fewer folks in the U.S. have done so, though.

    1. I don't think they crossed the pond. Very English humour, etc.

    1. Nothing like a bit of Morris, and even better with the Bonzos.

  6. Pissed off? I can offer you online counselling or anger management. My fees are very reasonable.

    It's funny how many bands of the past had members with art school experience. I guess you had a band yourself. Were they called The Crobars or The Crowbars? Not that spelling mattered much to art school bohemians.

    1. We were called The Darktown Strutters, which, I agree, was a pretty silly name.

      I did once have a bar of soap named after me (seriously) called 'Crobar'.

    2. What was the scent in that bar of soap? I am guessing pansies.

    3. Actually, it smelt of SOAP.
