Could you possibly be, pray tell, a fellow F & S fan? Or is this just a one-off?

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Im a huge F and S fan!! Nan and Opa corralled us kids into their loungeroom and would play their vinyls haha At The Drop of a Hat and At The Drop of Another Hat

My kind of people! Also the songs of Tom Lehrer, if you haven't found them yourself yet. The one about Werner Von Braun is looking more and more prescient all the time.

Hahaha yessss

I'm also a fan of Have Some Madeira, M'Dear slays me every time

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

another fan here 😊

I used to listen to 3-LO in the mornings and Peter Evans ( this was in the early -mid 70s ) would play novelty songs, these included.

Gnus (gnu?) are cool as heck. Everything about them, including their name.

I'd just like to interject for a moment...

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You may not
