RIP, "Boris" 
I love that song... always a place for humour in music- something many people forget, unfortunately.

Yes, a good, fun song. I'm certain I remember the 62 release more than the 70s version.

Depends where you were at the time, I suppose, as Auntie Beeb shielded our ears from it on its original release. It was also reissued in the US in '73 and reached No 10.

No sense of humour, BBC management.. not then, or now.

I remember it being a hit in the 70's, though I can also recall the Beeb playing the Bonzos' cover.
Bruno Brookes was convinced he said 'Out from the coffin Max Boyce did ring...'

Great song-as someone mentioned earlier in this thread humour made this record-always makes me smile when I hear it.
RIP Boris. |

Yes he always seemed to have a good sense of humour & never took himself too seriously. Amazing how he made a career out of one song.
