Who can ever forget the 'prefab four's' wonderful song Cheese and Onions. Rutlemania anyone?

I have always thought
in the back of my mind
Cheese and onions
I have always thought
that the world was unkind
Cheese and onions
Do I have to spell it out?
C-H-E-E-S-E-A-N-D-O-N-I-O-N-S-oh-no

Man and machine
Keep yourself clean
or be a has-been
like a dinosaur
Got a device
For everthing nice
You better think twice
at least once more
(Neil Innes)

(There's an Eric Idle story on the 'All you need is cash' DVD of him, Neil, Ringo Starr and George Harrison round at George's talking about this song and discussing whether they should go out as a Rutles tribute band!)

And there's a verse in the Byker Hill I do in reggae style

When Gary Lineaker went to Spurs
They gave him the number nine shirt
Expensive cars he's getting two or three
He say "Walker's Crisps done well by me"
