This weeks theme is...Make Em' Laugh!
Inspired by the annual "Funniest Joke of the Edinburgh Fringe" competition
Won this year by comic Rob Auton's joke:
"I heard a rumour that Cadbury is bringing out an oriental chocolate bar. Could be a Chinese Wispa."
Three novelty songs that were only designed to do one thing - and that's make people laugh!

Take two silly records, mix them together and produce one even sillier record!

2. Lily The Pink by The Scaffold
Alcohol? Drugs? Medicine? Apparently Lily The Pink cures all!
'Lily The Pink' entered the chart on 6th November 1968 reaching Number 1.

"Mahna Mahna" is one of our favourite songs. We always sing along madly whenever it comes on in the car!
