Angels ~ Robbie Williams

Why did you do it - Stretch
Smurfs In Prison • Barron Knights

A 'stretch' can also be a term in prison - plus I often wondered why the Barron Knights did a lot of their songs

No one would listen to that song TC

Smurfs In Prison • Barron Knights
The Beer Olympics - The Lancashire Hotpots

An Olympic connection as Barron Knights had a 1968 single called The Olympic Song. Also, both are British Comedy bands.

(NB: Due to a copyright complaint from the IOC, the latter is now known as The Beer "International Non-Profit, Sporting Quad Yearly Event". This is actually a true story)
