GUEST,DB	Origins: English Country Garden (68* d)	RE: Lyr Req: English Country Garden	23 Jan 06
The parody - which ends with the "broken bricks/concrete estate" verse was written, in the late 60s, by Alan Twelvetree, resident and organiser of Peterborough (UK)Folk Club. This club used to meet on a Sunday evening. On British TV, on Sunday afternoons, there used to be a curious puppet show called 'Pinky & Perky'. This featured two (puppet) pigs who sang songs in high pitched voices (weird, or what!!). One Sunday evening, at the club, we were all delighted because Alan's 'Country Gardens' parody had been featured on 'Pinky & Perky' that afternoon; this would be about 1968/69.
