These became frequently requested by listeners including such other favourites as The Wellington Boot Dance (as performed by Diamond Miners from South Africa). All were sourced from BBC sound archives. This led to the release of an album of the favourites which also included the Splash song (performed by Malaysian women who started composing such pieces whilst doing their washing - doesn't quite work the same down the launderette). I can't quite remember the name of the LP on the BBC label as it is at home and I am at work but their are quite a few tempting soundbites to sample on it. I got my copy from a jumble sale a few years back. ===== ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
