Before anyone starts complaining that the music is getting too esoteric around here, let’s all sing along to the immortal hit that was the Christmas Number One all of thirty-five years ago. Like David Cameron, I knew the words by heart.
She said she’d like to bathe in milk
He said, "All right, sweetheart."
And when he finished work one night
He loaded up the cart
He said, "D’you want it pasteurised,
‘Cos pasteurised is best?"
She said "Ernie, I’ll be happy
If it comes up to me chest."
Oh dear, I still laugh at that one. Do his programmes still run on American TV? I haven’t seen one in ages. In Britain, when I was a teenager, his show only aired about four times a year. It was like war-time rationing. You had to wait and wait, and when it finally came on, you’d start glancing anxiously at your watch, afraid the fun would end too soon.
