Yep, probably! But also... we did only two Bonzo numbers(the above and Jollity Farm). Many tunes harvested from 1920s/30s novelty recordings ("This song is in two parts, because the record was...") and other sources included the phrase - Washington: "crazy words, crazy tunes, she'll be driving me crazy soon with her vo-do-do-deo, vo-do-do-deo-do". Our publicity flyers said "Pedlars of pandemonium and vo-do-deo-do vendors". -

Think it's bedtime!
