Nah, but I can do you a Benny Hill "Ting-A-Ling-A-Loo" instead!

no-one loves a smart a--e and you obviously don't know the record.

Yes they do,

and yes I do- (To suggest I don't know something just because I make a joke of it, is rather silly)

Lyrics:

"I went to Chinatown

'way back in old Hong Kong

To get some Egg Foo Yung

And then I heard a gong

Ling ting tong tried to sing that song

Called Tie-ess-a mo-cum boo-die-ay

Tie-ess-a mo-cum boo

Ling ting tong, he would never be wrong

Go on and sing your song, a-ling ting tong

And I looked around

The lights were going down

And this is what I found

A back in Chinatown"

( My chum Kev Drage put it on a Cd for me years ago, and I told him its just as much of a comedy record as Benny Hill! )

love it or loathe it (and I love it, always have) this is a very, very rare record imho. Took me many years to get hold of my copy and it didn't come at $600 either! If I ever decide to sell it I'll let you know (which may not be that far off as I'm a bit fed up with the whole 'scene' at the moment to be honest . Couple of dj spots coming up then I may just part with the lot - also got Cleveland Robinson Jr, Jeffrey Allen, Ed Bruce etc etc in similar vein). Good luck anyhow ...

Cheers

all your taste's in your mouth pal

The very fact that it includes the line "to get some egg foo yung" always made it a must have in my twisted mind.

g G'Day Phil, could be interested in your copy when you decide to sell up. The one i missed for 600 U.S. was beleive it or not my original copy that i sold in 1977 for 4 quid and has my handwriting on it. Call it sentimental value if you want. Regards Tony. Perth.

I was really surprised that one on ebay only made just $600, someone got a real bargain. Unless I'm wrong, pretty sure there have only been 2 or 3 other copies found ? I know of the one that Carl F had & the one Tommy had, then the one Phil has got, are there any others ??

It's one of those records that you listen too on cd or tape & think...weird, then you hear it out loud & it sounds really good.

G'Day PhilT, if you read this thread mate, send me a reply and let me know if your still gonna flog me the copy of Billy Hines you said you had when you get out of the scene. I am still interested. email address is suantone@southwest.com.au

Cheers mate, Tony Western Australia.

I have this!

THE YING TONG SONG
