A Conversation for 'Intro and Outro', a song by The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band
Intro & the Outro
Researcher 249528 Started conversation Oct 3, 2003
Sorry, but there are a number of errors in the "cast list" for the song "Intro and the Outro" by the Bonzos. Here are a few corrections:
- John (don) and Ted Armstrong, vocals - erm, no. The line is actually "Garner Ted Armstrong, vocals." Garner Ted Armstrong was a fairly well-known evangelist who died recently (I believe September 2003). He used to have a syndicated television show here in the U.S. and, for all I know, in the UK as well. While he's passed on, the Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association is alive and well: http://www.garnertedarmstrong.ws/
- A Sessions Gorilla - Box your mama - "Box your mama?" Somebody's got issues. I've always taken this to be "Vox humana," which is one of the oldest organ stops.
- Dan Druck, harp - I've always heard this as "Dan Druff," an obvious pun.
- Val Doonegan - right description, wrong spelling. It's actually "Val Doonican." I know this from a time spent cataloguing the old ITC catalog of film for PolyGram Television - there were copies of the old "Val Doonican Show." He has a Website: http://www.valdoonican.co.uk
There are probably other corrections to be made, but not having been raised in the UK I'm sure I'm missing them. Anyone?
