Emergency Questions #12: Teddy Picker

Huggy Bear's back, and he's giving Richard Herring a week off.

This week's Emergency Questions...

Who was your favourite Teddy Bear as a kid? What were they called? Do you still have them?

Here are some of Huggy's favourite songs to help jog your memory...

Elvis Presley - (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear

Red Sovine - Teddy Bear (Don't knock it till you've tried it... then, feel free to knock it.)

Oh, and if that wasn't bad enough... here's the sequel! (Even Red refused to have anything to do with this.)

Diana Williams - Teddy Bears Last Ride

Arctic Monkeys - Teddy Picker

Barbara Fairchild - Teddy Bear (Tissues at the ready!)

Apocalypse - Teddy

Alice Cooper - Look At You Over There, Ripping The Sawdust From My Teddybear

Jerry Garcia & David Grisman - Teddy Bear's Picnic

Do you still have your old teddy?

June #5: A Few Words From Alan...

 

Just finished reading the above Booker Prize contender, whch made me LOL on a number of occasions. (Of course I'm using LOL ironically. Just like Alan.) Two of my favourite quotes follow...

"I try as far as possible to keep my radio show apolitical but teachers really are blithering scum, and whatever they disagree with, I agree with."

"In 2008 I spotted Haddway in a hotel steam room. I strode over, introduced myself and said I wanted him to sing on a jingle I'd written. The sessions went badly, and it was only when I visited the same hotel and saw him dredging the pool that I realised he wasn't Haddaway, just a man who worked for Jurys Inn."

I could, of course, play you some Haddaway after that, but I do have some standards. Instead, here's Roachford... with thanks to Jez.

"Your fog lamps are on! There's no fog!"
