I was raised in London, this song comes back to mind many times. Recently worked with young British troops, sang a couple phrases for them. They smiled amused wtf is he talking about.
Great song from great times. I was only 8 or so when this came out. It really made me smile listening to it again. Lonnie and the group were great Show people. Thanks for posting this! Appreciated.
What kind of people would come up with a phrase like " a proper 'nana " - he looks a proper banana ? Maybe implying slightly bent ? If that's too difficult, try : - What kind of Scot would steal the name of an old bluesman and make a few timeless records of his own ? I used to do this song myself, it's that line, he found a tiger's head one day, nailed to a piece of wood .....................

I love this song, it holds a lot of memories for me
One of the best versions of this classic!
Number 1 the day I was born!
This awesome song makes me cry because it reminds me of my Mother, she use to play good songs daily in the 60s when I was a kid. Cheers Steven
Steve Tilley Those exact thoughts were going through my mind also Steve. So many songs from the 60s do as well......
Sang this when i was a kid, still love it.. still sing it :-)
Richard Robert Lodge Yes,it's one of those songs that you have to join in with !
