Description
The Goodies were a hugely successfully British TV comedy trio of the seventies, comprising Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie. They were not primarily a musical act - most of their comedy was of the slapstick variety - but they did write and sing songs that they included in their shows. A selection of their songs is included on this CD. Bill Oddie wrote all except one of the songs - a cover of Wild thing, which is a song ideally suited to their style. It was a major international hit for the Troggs in the sixties. The set begins with The Goodies theme, which was the theme song for their TV series. As the lyrics explain, they are a trio who will do anything, anytime. This is followed by their biggest hit, Funky gibbon, which reached number four on the UK charts. Even by the standards set by the Goodies, it is the silliest song of them all, complete with imitations of monkey noises - but it's a lot of fun. Among their other songs, Good ole country music pokes fun at the genre and comes with plenty of howling. The set closes with two songs that take an amusing look at Christmas.
