Brain Fog has got me beat today, just keep thinking is it something Christmas Disney related sung by Donald Duck? Sorry best I can offer today 🦆

[Green230461 in reply to Pippy25]

Mickeys Christmas carol?

[Pippy25 in reply to Green230461]

Think there are a few songs sung by Donald and Goofy too. I guess like Alvin and the Chipmunks kind of thing. Seen some on You Tube.

[Haz58 in reply to Pippy25]

Donald Duck is very suitable he talks a load of rubbish too 🤣🤣🤣

American accapella group Pentatonix have done a few Christmas songs and I’m thinking of one called .. You’re a mean one Mr Grinch!

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch

You really are a heel

You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch

You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!…

[nomoreheels in reply to Neonkittie17]

Nelly the elephant ( Trump Trump trump) December 2015 toy dolls! 😀

[MadBunny in reply to allanah]

I remember a version of that from my childhood, back in the 60s 😁

[sunnyweek in reply to MadBunny]

Me too!

[MadBunny in reply to sunnyweek]

Wasn't there a radio programme called Children's Favourites 😟

[sunnyweek in reply to MadBunny]

Yes, Uncle Mac, loved it, he always ended with Goodbye Children Everywhere.I remember Black hills of Dakota, runaway train, I know an old lady who swallowed a fly, laughing policeman, etc. Later taken over by Ed Steward (Stewpot) about 1968 and became known as Junior Choice. I think Leslie Crowther did it for a short while before Ed.

[MadBunny in reply to sunnyweek]

Sparky the magic piano, teddy bear's picnic........

[sunnyweek in reply to MadBunny]

Yes, I'd forgotten about Sparky, Ugly duckling, I'm a pink toothbrush ...

[MadBunny in reply to sunnyweek]

The list goes on and on 😁

[Neonkittie17 in reply to MadBunny]

Little White Bull by Tommy Steele was a big fave too when I was a small child.

[MadBunny in reply to Neonkittie17]

Yes!oh the memories are coming back now.

[Neonkittie17 in reply to MadBunny]

So many lovely members as you say.

[Green230461 in reply to MadBunny]

I remember Sparky. Stewpot was my first crush❤️

[Neonkittie17 in reply to MadBunny]

Both gems!

[Neonkittie17 in reply to sunnyweek]

Loved to sing along to Junior Choice’s Morningtown Ride by the Seekers .. Rocking Rolling Riding. My Mum taught me .. I know an old lady who swallowed a fly when I was 3. I was horrified but laughed at it a lot. She taught me Burlington Bertie and A couple of Swells too which I loved to hear, when I was 4 and I can remember all the words to this day. We were always listening to music and singing along.

[MadBunny in reply to Neonkittie17]

What wonderful memories. And there was Puff the Magic Dragon . Which made me cry 😁

[Neonkittie17 in reply to MadBunny]

Aww me too. It was a lovely song. x

[sunnyweek in reply to MadBunny]

That was/is quite a sad tune.

[sunnyweek in reply to Neonkittie17]

What happy memories you have. I remember all those too. I managed to persuade my father to write to children's favourites to play Take me back to the black hills from calamity jane, I loved Doris Day's voice, it didn't get read out though, but was often played. I well remember Burlington Bertie and A couple of swells, so lovely that you sang together.

[Neonkittie17 in reply to sunnyweek]

I’d love to get the DVD of Julie Andrews singing her version of BB in the film Star, wasn’t it? It’s much older than that though as we sang it in 1963 and Star wasn’t until around 1968 I think. I think it’s an old Victorian music hall song from a male impersonator called Vesta something. Rings a bell. I’ve got no end of DD DVD’s too! She was one of my heroines. Gorgeous to look at, so funny and a great singer actress and dancer. Calam was brilliant. I must get that out to watch over Christmas. I imagine thousands of children’s parents wrote in to Stewpot. The nice gesture was that your Dad wrote to him. 💗

[sunnyweek in reply to Neonkittie17]

Yes it was Vesta Tilley. I can remember B Bertie being sung on The Good Old Days tv programme when young. I must checkout Julie Andrews singing it. I agree about Doris Day, and it is always a joy to watch Calamity. I may look it up over Christmas, I'll be in mostly, due to retux this week, and am flaring so I need it. Have a lovely day x

[Neonkittie17 in reply to sunnyweek]

Good old days was filmed in my home town of Leeds at the City Varieties theatre. Lovely old place and was refurbed beautifully a few years back I’ve been hundreds of times to that theatre to see shows but never the GOD itself! My Late dad’s colleague (They were manufacturing chemists, not theatre directors/producers!) was the brother of Barney Colehan who produced and directed the show for over 30 years. Hope your Rtx goes well. Have a good day. Mine has been a very difficult start with a phone call from the immunologist. 🤨 Hope you get to watch CJ over Christmas! x

[sunnyweek in reply to Neonkittie17]

That's so interesting about the theatre and your late dad's colleague's brother producing the show, fascinating, I love old theatres and how lovely to know somebody connected to them. That was a good show to be watched with the family and because it was musical a joy to watch, as well as listening to Leonard Sachs and his fabulous words!Sorry you've had a difficult morning due to the phone call, I know you are waiting for your immunoglobulins to increase so you can start a new biologic. I'm wishing you well as always xxx

[Green230461 in reply to sunnyweek]

Many years ago , when we lived in Grays Essex the townsfolk were asked to go to the theatre to fill it up. It had an old organ that came up from the stage! We all sat for two hours listening to music. Months later we found out that we were the audience for Roger Rabbit with Bob Hoskins.

[sunnyweek in reply to Green230461]

I bet that was enjoyable then finding out why, plus seeing an organ appear up from below the stage; that reminds me of Blackpool tower ballroom.

[allanah in reply to Neonkittie17]

Fabulous tunes

[springcross in reply to MadBunny]

I think that was Mandy Miller.

[Neonkittie17 in reply to allanah]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🤪🤣 Well it could be Nellie’s Christmas trunk! Very funny, it made me laugh. How are you doing? x

[allanah in reply to Neonkittie17]

Rough. Hospital this morning, but came down to decoration which instantly cheered me up

[Neonkittie17 in reply to allanah]

Hoping you’re feeling improvement soon.

[Green230461 in reply to allanah]

Hope it went well

[allanah in reply to Green230461]

It did , they are pleased . But can't have my tcz infusion restarted as its going to covid patients .

[Green230461 in reply to allanah]

Why are they getting it?

[allanah in reply to Green230461]

It was proven to save severly ill covid patients in the " recovery" study

[Green230461 in reply to allanah]
