Re the "Doggy Doggy Few" spoonerism: I seem to remember a sketch item with that title & theme in one of the popular early-50s revues, with Joan Heal, Dora Bryan, Graham Payn et al, at the Lyric Hammersmith that went into the West End: The Lyric Revue, followed by The Globe Revue [The Globe being the Aldwych theatre to which the first version transferred]. The Britten/Pears version was at height of popularity at the time. Can't remember much about the sketch, which struck me as somewhat facile; but just record it on this thread for phenomenological interest.

Of further folk interest, BTW, is that Sydney Carter's superb 'The Youth Of The Heart' had its première in the first, and was affectionately sent up (presumably, one hopes, with his blessing -- or at least consent!) in the second.
