Chugga chugga chugga. He's from Hong Kong Mississippi, USA. Woah woah. He played the Pawnbroker in Trading Places. Yeah yeah.

Other Bo tunes include: Hey! Bo Diddley, Bo's Bounce, Bo Diddley's a Gunslinger, Run Diddley Daddy, Bubble Bo Diddley, Bo's a Lumberjack, The Story of Bo Diddley, Mighty Bo Diddley, Run Diddley Daddy, Diddling, Bo Diddley Is Crazy, Bo Diddley in Space, Bo Meets the Monster and Oops! Bo Diddley.

Woah woah. Bo Diddley is cursed with a big ego and low self-esteem. Chugga chugga chugga.

Coconut Grove - The Lovin' Spoonful

West Coast pop from a band who took their name from a filthy Howlin' Wolf lyric.

Coconut Grove is also the name of Marks and Spencer's own brand Bounty bar facsimile.

Other prosaically named products in the M&S range include: Swiss Mountain Bar (pocket sized Toblerone), Bubble Bar (flat Aero); Midget Gems (wine gums but smaller), Honeycomb Crackle Bar (flatter Crunchie) and the Walnut Classic Chocolate Whip (clumsily renamed for legal reasons).

I despair at the lack of imagination in food hall point of sale confectionery.

Manifesto & Book News

If it's ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it's in. If it features hand claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews, sha-la-las, toothy teen idols, candy-based metaphors for carnal acts or lyrics about hugging, squeezing and rocking all night long, it's in.

Hard and Heavy (with Marshmallow)
