I’ve spent most of the week working on crap with Upstairs Downstairs on in the background. Every time the lovely Mrs. Bridges serves her famous jam roly poly for the servants’ dessert, I think of this incredible song from the fantastic Sympathetic Sounds Of Toe-Rag Studios compilation. Mr. Liam Watson is kind enough to provide a brief description of each song in the liner notes, and here’s what he has to say about “Puddings And Pies”:
Gustav Temple is the man behind British literary publication The Chap. Although not normally associated with popular music, Mr. Temple had teamed up with Scottish entertainers, The Blades, for an enthusiastic and celebratory number concerning the pleasures to be found in the average British larder.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
I’m willing to bet that this is the only song in the history of popular music that makes tapioca sound like something to dance about.
