ChrisR Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks so much for posting this one, Bruin. Not often I find myself laughing out loud to utter silliness but this one did it! Great stuff! (I wonder how many tries it took, especially on the last verse.) Quote Link to comment

Nick Deverill Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I can't remember the programme now, but I believe it was a BBC Radio 4 comedy programme that made the record. Long before I went deaf, I've heard it, someone lent my brother the record and I remember thinking then how hard it must have been to record. Quote Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I've also her the sheet slitter and the sheet slitter's son's version. But neither as songs, only as tongue twisters. Sheet slitters is the harder of the two. C Quote Link to comment
