Ep344: Firm Milky Lollipops

There are plenty of peculiar tunes to soak up this week on CheapShow. The segment may be called Silverman’s Platter, but on this edition of the podcast, Paul’s brought along a few interesting records to listen to. A song based on popular TV show “Minder” and styled after Chas N Dave brings Paul and Eli’s attention to the work of The Firm, a music group that churned out one of the 1980s biggest novelty pop hits. Apparently, they had a whole album, so the cheap chaps take a quick tour of their output. There is also a strange album to listen to that was designed to help raise fund for children’s charity NSPCC in 1984. It’s packed with some obvious and not so obvious celebrities from the period, but we focus on Dennis Waterman’s rock n roll Lollipop song and Felicity Kendall’s moog flavoured ditty about fairies! It’s also time to return to the Country Urban Noodle Test Lab International Cuisine Kitchen with a few instant noodles that are new to Eli’s palate. Mr Silverman takes on a Lucky Me beef bone marrow treat and whatever the hell a “Milky Me” is! To make things more interesting, Paul and Eli also have got their own deities in small boxes. This isn’t going to be a problem at all!
