damn, i spelled Abbot wrong.

before anyone votes I think they need to take into account the b-side to Russ Abbot's Atmosphere, the haunting 'Thoughts Of A Child'

genuinely thought Russ was the funniest guy in the world when I was 8, mainly thanks to my grandad having a Russ Abbot VHS that we ended up watching about twice a week (the other options were Mr Bean, Freddie Starr or Randall and Hopkirk Deceased, all of which were good as well)

In 2003, his 'See You Jimmy' character (called C. U. Jimmy) came third in the Glasgow Herald's poll to find the most Scottish person in the world, behind Iain and Jimmy Krankie.

not bad for a guy from Ellesmere Port, I wonder who was #4?

i like both of these songs but relate more to abbot's opus so my vote went that way

It's a difficult question I said.

But actually it no contest. Russ all the way.

Wasn't the latter how ... John Peel? ... introduced Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is"?

There was a thing on Bandcamp some years ago where someone had done versions of each in the style of the other. Rather well IIRC.
