A friend came round to see me and brought his daughterwho has learning difficulties. her name was Nancy. So naturally when they asked me to play some music, I thought of the Nacy songs I knew.

First thing thay occurred to me was Calton Weaver (Nancy Whisky).,, and the Billy Boy, with refrain Oh me Nancy tickles me fancy oh! Me Darling Billy Boy.

Tonight I thought I'd post youtubes of Sinatra (Nacy with the laughing face), Calton Weaver and Billy Boy.

I was shocked to find only one version of the Nancy tickles me fancy variant. And that was by Alan Price with the lyrics concealed behind a loud noisy band.

Theres a lot of cobblers about dredging up songs that are totally unmemorable and our duty to preserve them. How can we let cornerstones of our national repertoire disappear like this?
