  • Mmm... tasty tunes

    So today in the shop we had a rather meagre selection of CDs (come on,35 different renderings of Christmas carols on the oboe or something ghetto...) so we had to go with the Rock Tunes of the 70s with no sleeve on.
    One particular offering was a rather jaunty little tune which seemed to be titled Timothy. After about the fourth hearing it seemed worryingly to be about three miners trapped down a cave who when found turn out to be two surprisingly well fed miners and no sign of the titular Timothy. Just what we need to bring in the customers-a little light ode to munching human flesh...

    At first I thought you were talking about Timothy by Four Jacks And A Jill but your description didn't match what I remembered of the song.

    Then I looked on You Tube and found:

    Timothy *** The Buoys

      You mentioned that an I thought of a song names Timothy by Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer about Timothy Westwood

        Ah yes, this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_(song)

        I find it amusing that Rupert Holmes wrote that song since he's prolly better known for writing Escape, the pina colada song.

          "Timothy" is featured in Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs. Yeah, Dave was every bit as creeped out as you were.

            I remember hearing that song when it first came out. Yeah, that's some cheery little tune....

                Yeah, it's got some good zingers in there.

                  Love that book, although I actually enjoy some of the listed songs, including "Timothy".
