I really enjoy listening to the radio.

At the weekend, among other programmes, I listened to "Sounds of the Sixties" presented by Brian Matthew, who has been presenting it since 1990 and to "Desert Island Discs" which is now presented by Kirsty Young. During these two programmes I heard three songs that I haven't heard for a long, long time. The guest to be cast away on the desert island this week was interviewer Lynn Barber and one of her choices was made because it reminded her of her father who used to sing it.

Do you remember this




The day before on Sounds of the Sixties I had heard this - I could only find it in German on You Tube so part of the translation is below also.



Darling, go home, your husband is ill
Is he ill, let 'em give him a pill
Oh come, my dear Franz
Just one more dance
Then I'll go home to my poor old man
Then I'll go home to my poor old man

Darling, go home, your husband is worse
Is he worse, well I am no nurse
Oh come, my dear Franz
Just one more dance
Then I'll go home to my poor old man
Then I'll go home to my poor old man

and so on ......... you get the drift and I expect many of you will remember it.

Finally I was delighted to hear the following Anthony Newley song. Being a huge fan of his I love all that he did. OH and I were lucky enough to see him in the title role of "Scrooge" at the Bristol Hippodrome many years ago. This is the song I heard on Saturday



All great fun.
