Hi

I've had a lot of requests this year for novelty tunes, particularly at weddings. I always like to play these songs as they tend to be family favourites and floor fillers.

eg

Peter Sellars - Right said Fred
Chuck Berry- My Dind a ling
Fiddlers Dram - Day trip to Bangor
Wurzels - Combine Harvester
Spitting Image - Chicken Song
Paper Lace - Billy Don't be a hero
Toy Dolls - Nelly the Elephant

the list goes on.

anyone else noticed this. If so what were you asked for?

Rob

Absolutely they have their place but its different for each country,here in norway we have some but i was discussing this with dj weeble who has moved to Oslo and arrived at the conclusion that things like black lace and cha cha slide dont work here.

We are all off to Norway

I thought that was Bernard Cribbins

i was looking for the song peter sellars by right said fred suppose i better have a cup of tea now

cs what novelty tracks work in norway before we all rush over

Yep sorry. I had to play it for the bride!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are really lucky because we have about 2 swedish ones that are in swedish and 1 norwegian one and thats about it apart from macarena and that horrible rumanian thing from a couple of years back.

Which one is this?

Me thinks CS means those Cheeky, Cheeky Girls, but I could be wrong

I thought he was talking about TaTu

Dukesy, I was thinking about that Latvian group, you know where they were standing on the aircradt wings.

Come on CS put us out of our misery

Cheeky girls are from spain ? Tatu from russia (yes please) the answer is the ones on the aircraft wings O-zone - dragostea .

Sorry CS - Romania.

I quite like the Ozone song

as for the other novelty songs........ yes they have their place........ In the bin.

i stand corrected dan ! Am secretly quite proud i got it wrong !

A couple requested recently:-


Star Trekkin' (we have done a number of parties for this family and they all know the dance)

The court of King Caractacus

Yep ,I forgot about that one; The Firm i believe.

Very rarely for me - I've only ever been asked for My-Ding-A-Ling & Combine Harvester and then only once for each. I did have several requests for the Cheeky Girls when they were in the charts (usually from very small children).

The Lumberjack Song from Monty Python has been requested (once) but the one that is currently being asked for at over half of my gigs is This One

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...........

I never did get that one, thought it was utter

Ah well, must keep the punters happy....... off to Napster now to download about 10 different mixes of it

Horse It Into Ya Cynthia - Conal Gallen
The Yogi Bear Song

and TV theme tunes always get a laugh, especially cartoons
