Bark if you remember the Bonzos.. Not one for the young or easily confused.?

Who can forget those great classic tracks such as 'Ali Babas Camel', 'Canyons of your mind', and of course 'We are Normal'.





Laughing, crying and other assorted things to unforgetable lyrics. Who could ever forget ' Do the trouser press baby one, two, three kick', 'We are normal and we dig Bert Weadon', and everybodies favourite " Have you got a light Mac? No but I've got a dark brown overcoat."





Here's that once in a lifetime opportunity to share your favourite titles and lyrics with a discerning audience. So let's be hearing from you, and don't forget ' There hunting Tigers out in India Yah '.

Bark if you remember the Bonzos.. Not one for the young or easily confused.?
Skin of a tree, Man, skin of a tree!





Some of Innes's memorable first lines:





"All along the ocean floor, unseen fish are swimming..."





"Cannibal chiefs chew Camembert cheese 'cause chewing keeps 'em cheeky..."





"¡Caramba, ay, ay, ay! The moon is bright above..."





"Did you ever get the feeling that the truth is less revealing than a downright lie..."





"Ever since I was knee-high to a bandy dragonfly..."





"Everytime I see you walk by there's a certain look in your eye..."





"Hee-haw hee-haw, hee-haw hee-haw..."





"He used to travel in bath cubes until the slump came..."





"Hey Mister Eurovision song- contest man, would you like to hear my song, bing bang bong..."





"I didn't want no trouble, I was running from the mob..."





"If I had time to myself, willingly I'd share it..."





"I got my hand up the skirt of Mother Nature..."





"I had a lot of acne and pimples, I had to stay at home"





"I have always thought in the back of my mind cheese and onions..."





"I'm not the kind of guy who likes to play big brother..."





"I'm sitting in a dandelion den..."





"I'm the urban spaceman baby, I've got speed..."





"In my high rise shoes I can walk tall..."





"I've got nothing to sing about, nothing at all...





"Lipstickgleam, hexacloraphene..."





"Once upon a good time, there lived a love so true..."





"Our noses may be big, and stick out very far..."





"She runs a greensheild library, saves everything she's got for her wedding day..."





"She's broken all the super hearts of the super heroes of the galaxy..."





"Two dodos stood back to back, refusing to say a word..."





"Walkin' the street, hopin' to meet a real life Satan's daughter..."





"We're just the janitor's kids playin' on the penthouse floor..."





"We're the hob hob hob hob hob hobgoblins..."





"We're the Womble bashers from Walthamstow..."





"When a cabinet minister resigns, circumstances must be carefully defined..."





"You who speak to me across the fence of common sense..."





"Zoom zoom zoom zoom, zoom zoom zoom zoom..."





and finally:





"The world is full of people with lots of things to say..."
Reply:Yes! I 'll leave the barking to my dog though. my favouret is the entire album Tadpols. Later reissued as Urban Spaceman, I remember them on a tv program Do Not Adjust Your Set, I think it was on ITV back in the days when I was a teenager.
Reply:( Please note I am talking about The Bonzo's - Viv Stanshall - and haven't listed an alphabetical list of Neil Innes one liners! )





It's an odd boy who doesn't like sport!





Only the other day, I was walking in the West End when I was set upon by hoards of fans and admirers who all wanted to touch my clothes.





Well. I'm shakin' my shirt all over the place, but it's been thrown right back in my face!





I could go on for hours.....how I wish I'd kept all those original albums.
Reply:I remember they did the doo-dah thing in the Beatles' film Magical Mystery Tour. Neil was a lounge-style singer in that movie.
Reply:Who let the dogs out?
Reply:The Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band?





Well I tried barking just to make you happy, but it came out like a regurgitated camel croak. So won't be doing that again in a hurry!!!
Reply:whatever
