I was "overjoyed" to discover that today was apparently "National Sardines Day", until I realised that like so very much content on the interwebs, this actually means "it's a marketing 'thing', and confined to America". Hey ho. Who gives a stuff, when - by way of a tribute to that silvery-health-food-from-the-sea [historically known here in the UK as "pilchards" - and, indeed, that is what they are still called if they grow over six inches] - I have the perfect excuse to exhume a (very) old favourite of ours here at Dolores Delargo Towers?
More than you ever need to know about this song, courtesy of the weird website Tedium.
Six inches, you say?
ReplyDeleteSmells a bit, though. Jx
DeletePinky and Perky sing about fish???
ReplyDeleteYou should have posted this for Halloween!

It is rather scary... Jx

ReplyDeleteI have no doubt that Barnes & Barnes were taking the same drugs. Jx
DeleteAnother video extravaganza. Where do you find them all?
ReplyDeleteThis one - like so much in the blogosphere - was probably courtesy of the much-missed Thombeau... Jx
DeleteHave you ever tried pilchard curry?
ReplyDeleteIt's a very economical dish.
"You just get one of those big tins of pilchards in tomato sauce and mix it with onions and curry powder and it’s really tasty.”

Had I known about this song, I would have included on MY blog post today.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can’t believe I’ve lived this long without knowing that if it’s longer than 6 inches, it’s called a pilchard. I’ve called them all penises.
"Eat them up, YUM!!"
