Pretend your name is Keith

Do you remember The Chicken Song?

Hold a chicken in the air, stick a deck-chair up your nose
Buy a Jumbo-Jet, and then bury all your clothes


Are you still earwormed with all the lyrics?

Skin yourself alive, learn to speak araphahoe
Climb inside a dog, and behead an Eskimo


I've just looked up a terrifying fact:

Now you've heard it once, your brain will spring a leak
And though you hate this song you'll be humming it for weeks


Weeks? Twenty two years...

I never knew the lyrics were by Grant and Naylor...

Nope. Never heard that song before.

I bought that! (In my defence I bought it for the B side).

I still know all the words.

Actually that's probably not a very good defence.

You're not the only one - I bought it for exactly the same reason.

Yep - I had this going around my brain just a few days ago.

Quick - without Web searching ... name another song with the word 'Araphahoe' in the lyrics ...

Oh, you're going to kill me with this one. I can almost hear it.

I just got it now. But without googling, so it still counts.

Aagh, after leaving it 24 hours to see if I could think of one, I finally gave up and googled. Aaagh, how did I miss that?

You swine. That's going to take a whole morning of metal and prog to get that back out my head again.

Well, I never heard of it either. Who's it by?
