| kyleminor (San Francisco) | Posted: Aug 12, 2010 - 16:36 Awesome! I feel like I'm back in my bedroom at my parents house listening to Dr. Dimento! What a treat. PS: Album date is '74 |

I can't even rate this because I have no clue what I just heard. Kind of like being on the outside of an inside joke. Click here for wikipedia entry By the way, it really was Clapton playing the ukulele on the original recording !! |

Yes!! Try an upload. |
| SpamNRice (Vicenza, Italy) | Posted: Dec 21, 2006 - 01:42 Bizarro English humor with some 3 stooges mixed in...? Really stretches the boundary of the definition of music per se, but OK, I'll listen -- ONCE! 
Now -- MAKE IT STOP! |

Imagine my surprise to see that not only is it already on the main playlist, but it's on here *twice* (once as "Bonzo Dog Band" and once as "Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band") and it was just played last week! Can't believe I've never heard it come up!
Thanks for uploading this. I'd upload "Sir Henry at Rawlinson End" but at 26 minutes it's to long even for RP. |

| Daniel_Pittenger (Vermont) | Posted: Dec 06, 2006 - 12:17 What's with all these terrible ratings? This song is a fun part of history. Reminds me of the outro on Car Talk, but musical. This is a nice addition. Please keep it in the library. |
| AnchorMan (number 8) | Posted: Dec 06, 2006 - 12:16 Yay the Bonzos 
"Great to hear the Rawlinsons on trombone." |

| jeepstir (on the Potomac) | Posted: Nov 07, 2006 - 07:44 For a bit of entertainment history, these guys used to be regulars on the 1968 British TV show "Do Not Adjust Your Set," which along with "At Last The 1948 Show" were the precursors of Monty Python. |

Looking very relaxed, Adolf Hitler on vibes. Nice to see incredible shrinking man on euphonia. Digging General DeGaulle on accordian. Roy Rogers on Trigger. My favorite is 'And representing the flower people, Quasimodo on bells.' |
