BENNY HILL "e.r.n.i.e(the fastest milkman in the west)" b/w "ting-a-ling-a-loo" 1971
Benny was a comedian in the UK, his style was quite bawdy to say the least...
over the years he released a few humorous singles, none were better than this, and none sold as well as this one...
"a" side tells the story of milkman Ernie who wants the love of a customer but he has a rival...two-tonne ted from teddington(who drives the bakers van)...a comedy classic IMO...
"b" side is a stupid nonsense track, but its so stupid, its brilliant...
single reached #1 here, as it did in the UK
