Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba; early morning singing song


Home working. Don'tcha love it?

And so, the wheel turns again - and here we are at the start of another no doubt lovely and rewarding week of work...

It's been a fabulously mild and temperate weekend, and we were able to get some pruning-back and clearing of dead stuff done in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers, after the "big freeze" last week [Oh yes, and I had my first COVID vaccination!] - but, as per usual, over all too soon.

Hey ho; on with the show. Today sees another completely unlikely combo of birthdays, including Kenneth Williams, Dame Julie Walters, Marni Nixon, Sir Bruce Forsyth, Dame Sheila Hancock, the Duchess of Kent, Christine Keeler, George Washington, Sir John Mills, Judy Cornwell, Drew Barrymore, Arthur Schopenhauer, Ellen Greene, Ted Kennedy, James Blunt, Lord Baden-Powell, Steve Irwin, Eric Gill, Guy Mitchell, Chris Moyles, Niki Lauda, Lea Salonga, Nigel Planer, Edward Gorey, General Bokassa, Luis Buñuel, and the artist known as "Oliver", who had a big hit with his version of the classic Good Morning Starshine from Hair...

...which, on this Tacky Music Monday is here artfully performed by what was, by the time this was broadcast in 1969, Miss-Ross-and-her-backing-singers:

Have a good week, dear reader.

  1. When I saw "Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba" I knew EXACTLY what song you were referring to. This is the first time I've seen those lyrics spelled out.
