    It's a bit like when you're on holiday, and there's a karaoke on, and some bloke who doesn't speak English gets up and has a try. It's hilarious!

    Originally the lyrics were:

    'Shithead of a father,
    I was the result of a drunken shag,
    Tried to suffocate me with a plastic bag,'

    They changed them to get on TOTP. But the synth was far out man.

    Didn't know about the New Seekers thing, I've just read about it. Similarly, my theory about "Whatever" and "The Idiot Song" turns out to be a thing: The writer Neil Innes successfully sued Oasis and got royalties and co-writing credits. The article went on to say that as Innes' song parodied Lennon and The Beatles, as did much of his output, he had to share the royalties with Lennon and McCartney.

    It seems there's nothing new in this world, and never has been. The copied turn out to be copiers themselves.
    Don't know that Python song, will have to have a listen.

    The theme tune from Taggert. That's a good one. Never watched an episode, would always change channel after the tune.

    She did another theme tune for a short series back in the seventies, also set in Glasgow, very bleak, pretty violent, the name escapes me. But the main character was a singer, Frankie Somebody or other. Now I mention it, maybe he did the theme, not Maggie. Help me out here Grant!

    I bet you were more into Brookside, the title music of which sounded rather like a song by Vangelis/Ian Anderson. Don't know who got there first.

    When I first became a scouse ex-pat I used to watch Brookside to stave off homesickness. My girlfriend got into it too. The theme tune was a cracker in NICAM stereo.
