Please kill my earworm !

I’ve got part of a song stuck in my head. It’s a comic song about doing something in the park (stop sniggering at the back there !) - picking flowers or something. I thought it might be Monty Python but it doesn’t seem to be and I can’t track it down. Please, someone, put me out of my misery and tell me what it is !

I'm determined not to open this, in case it gets stuck in my head!

No, that’s definitely not it. I’m thinking anarchic ? Thanks for trying though 😀

I see Buddy’s bid and raise it! Could it be Tom Lehrer’s Poisonings Pigeons in the Park? I’d add a link but haven’t worked out how to do it - but you’ll find it on YouTube if you dare!

That’s IT ! Thanks so much ! No idea why it came to mind while I was running in the park. We have ducks, not pigeons 😄

Oh no! that's taken me right back to the Children's Favourites radio (or should that be wireless?) programme on Saturday morning...

What kind of children would pick something that miserable ?!!

But it was grim growing up in the early 60's. Everything was in black & white for a start!

All the more reason to put cheerful songs on, I would have thought. Not The Laughing Policeman though - that’s just creepy 😂

Perhaps that's why my wife uses it as the ringtone when I call her?

ButtercupKidGraduate in reply toAlast

I think you’d need to check that out with a psychiatrist. Or maybe just ask your wife ? 😄

How about a kiss in the dark, a walk in the park, but there again, not sure about flowers 💐 👍💐

No, don’t think I know that one. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Flowers in the Rain ? Or Poisoning Pigeons in the Park ? Before my time too - just 😄

It’s not about poisoning pigeons in the park is it?

No pigeons were injured in writing this. 😳

There is an element of that in it, but I’m not advocating violence to pigeons or any other species. I even rescue wasps myself 😄

Lol! I remembered the rhyme of trynhide with cyanide. Which now won’t get out of my head!!!!
