For connoisseurs of songs set in English towns, here’s the unforgettable Winchester Cathedral (1966) by the New Vaudeville Band. (Never mind the cover version by Frank Sinatra).
And for a truly zany mix, follow it with this strange product by Chas and Dave, “London Girls” (1983) – self-parodic or what?
The lyrics!
“If you ever go down to London town, your legs will turn to jelly /
Cos the girls down there I swear are just like models off the telly
(…)
(T)hey’ve always got a pound to buy a round /
When it’s their turn at the bar”.
Vintage postmodernism!
