Can't beat Half Man Half Biscuit for amusing lyrics.

With song titles like "Ninety nine percent of gargoyles look like Bob Todd", "Dickie Davis eyes" and "Trumpton Riots" you can't really go wrong.

Note to non-UK resident readers:

Bob Todd - the ugly big bald guy from the Benny Hill Show

Dickie Davis - dapper sports journalist from the late 70s/80s

Didn't he do an album called "Have I offended someone?" where he managed to poke fun at every single minority or religious group going in a statement against rampant political correctness?

You mean the really old bald guy who's always getting beaten on the head with something? Didn't he die eons ago? I remember  wondering if head trauma had anything to do with it.


Nah, that was the little fellah.  Bob Todd was the really big guy who also happened to be bald.

One thing I could never figure out about Benny Hill; if you were being chased by dozens of scantily clad women (as he often was during the end credits) then surely you'd stop running and let them catch you?
