- ->British entrant: some horrible thing which includes the words "snap what
- ->a picture, what a photograph." Horrid. Hear it once, and the lyrics
- ->linger for years... :-o
- ->--
-
- Aaargh! It's re-invaded *my* brain now!
-
- It's called "What a picture". It was sung by that appalling
- professional cockney Tommy Steele in the film "Half a Sixpence".
- Utterly execrable.
-
- For a flavour of the full horror of it, I'm including all I can
- remember of the chorus :
-
- Hold it! Snap, bang, wallop, what a picture!
- What a picture, what a photograph.
- [blah blah blah - I've forgotten these two lines]
- [blah blah blah - wish I could forget the rest of it]
- Clap hands (clap clap clap clap), stamp your feet (stamp stamp),
- Bang on the big bass drum (boing).
- What a picture, what a picture,
- Rum-tiddly-um-pum-pum-pum-pum, <- this is the worst bit for me
- Stick it in your family
- al-bum.
-
-
- Wishing you many years of listening pleasure,
- John
