    This comic provoked a lot of laughter, followed closely by a whole lot of googling.

    Beach Blanket Bingo… my word…

    Now was it the moon?
    No, no, it’s a cloacca.

    I thought it was Edie Gormet.

    Eydie Gorme - 1963 (accent over the last ‘e’) - I was in year 11, this song it saved my life.

    I was in kindergarten, so life didn’t require saving, but I remember giving my Mum much mirth by joining in the call and response chorus, with my own version of the dance of love.

    Very funnnie, FD :)

    Being a snob who refuses to watch commercial TV I’m not au fait with Nine’s personnel. Is that Derryn, Darin? I’ve heard of the others.

    Wasn’t it Rosemary Clooney?

    It’s all very Queensland FD. Cane toads, a blast from the past as Annette sings from the back of a truck with makeshift props and creatures made extinct by state laws whichever is applied. Oh, and Darrin gets a caning for wearing a wig! It took me back atleast a year.

    BTW that song is before my time, but I googled it and listened on youtube expecting not to recognise it at all… and yet I DID. Frightening.
