There was a phase for "Russian" songs at the time in CSH IIRC. One I recall had the lines Sonya Sonya the law is at the door (repeated twice) Prussic Acid's in the wine! And someone, possibly the Omsk song singer, use to introduce a song claiming it was called "The Russsian Steppes are cold and bare, they have no escalators". Possible performers/writers of such items from names in my memory at that time include Curly Goss and a couple who sang at the Cellar called (I think) Zelda and Plonk! I wouldn't exclude Martin Winsor and Redd Sullivan from involvement either.
