As novelty records go this was alright. It was on Top of the tops today from 1978. Gordon is a moron...

Fantastic track.

I started work in July 78 and this seemed to be on the radio all of the time along with Blue Oyster Cult and “Font Fear The Reaper” and another novelty classic on the clip below, “Beware Of The Flowers” by John Ottway and Wild Willie Barrett! 😎

John Otway and Wild Willy are still doing the rounds! I saw them at a gig in Stamford pre-Covid, very good and very funny. Willy had a wah device in a wheelie bin operated by lifting the lid up and down, and as for Otway, he’s plain crazy! The pair of the were in the bar before the gig knocking back pints and after the break, Otway returned to the stage through the audience clutching another pint of beer. If you see them on anywhere I can guarantee that you would have a great time. They even flogged an electric guitar (a Strat) to a bloke in the audience for £50!

"He's more of a man than you'll ever be".... Hilarious song, you couldnt get away with stuff like this anymore "she's a 5lut, tart" etc

I prefer real music to novelty records.
Anything by Charlie Drake, Rolf Harris, Joe Dolce, Bad Manners and Madness all belong in the bin.
They won't become immortal.

Gordon is a Moron always made me smile. Graham Fellows also went on to create the John Shuttleworth character
