HahahahaI just downloaded the album by the way. I need some time to let it sink in.
Yes, Spike Milligan, Edward Lear, Sesame Street! I've got lots of time for all three of those, particularly Spike (although I also had his book of manic-depressive poetry when I was a kid, I think it may have poisoned my mind a bit). He was a fucking genius though in my opinion.
But the kind of rhymey story delivery of Rastamouse reminds me too much of Rupert The Bear, which I hate for some reason, grrr.
Oh and no, let's not have a food fight on the Guardian website, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't understand at all. We'd just get a bunch of self-righteous indignation heaped on us :)

As Serge Gainsbourg might once have said, "What is life without self-righteous indignation? It is like a car fuck in the rain without a policeman banging tiredly on the roof with his torch."Rhymes are good. Yes, even Rupert That Bear. I promise you this is true.

"This lamp belongs in a museum!
If you've got more, I'd love to see 'em."
The fairy said: "Enough tedium!
That tool will split my perineum!"
