Debra asked: <<<He is trying to remember a song (being in desperate need of a party piece!) which he heard in the early 1980s. It was a spoof folk ballad sort of thing about a knight going off to the wars and leaving his wife in a chastity belt, and it consisted mainly of Spoonerisms. He thinks. The fact that he thought it hilarious in 1981 is no guarantee that it has stood the test of time so we apologise in advance if it turns out to be offensively un PC. In which case it is probably better unresurrected.>>>
Bastity chelt, nonny nonny, bastity chelt, nonny nonny... Yep, I think this is by Jake Thackery, I used to have it on tape but I don't know where to get it on CD and a quick google hasn't been much use. Determined googling would probably yield more results. I don't think it's dreadfully offensive on the PC front, but it's a bit rude. And when it comes to Jake Thackery I think I prefer the one about the tortoises - crunchy pies.
