"Bang Bang" by The Bonzo Dog Band
What's this?
― Aw naw, no' Annoni oan an' aw noo (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 August 2009 15:28 (sixteen years ago)
A song by the Bonzo Dog Band? Cover of the Cher song, I think.

It's not on their albums
― Aw naw, no' Annoni oan an' aw noo (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 August 2009 15:32 (sixteen years ago)
It was a bonus track on one of the recent re-ishes I think.

"Quentin's Theme" (Theme Song from "Dark Shadows") performed by Charles Randolph Grean SoundeIsn't this "Barnabas' Theme"? Awesome regardless.

i kind of hope someone knows if the bonzo dog song was available to DJs in the 60s. i hope it is not the trivial mistake i think it is.
