I remember Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough doing parodies on "English Folk Traditions".
One time they did what purported to be the "Stalybridge Needel Dance". There was a bloody great cotton reel with 'ribbons' hanging off it, and Les and Roy, barefoot and wearing smocks and
flowered hats, singing
"Needles to your partner, needles to the wall
If you can't get pricked on a Saturday night, you'll never get pricked at all".
Nearly pissed meself with laughter - I was dancing North West (Clog) Morris with the Manchester Men, at this time.
