Subject: RE: Randy Dandy O
Hugill refers to both his own version from Harding and the version Colcord published from Robinson as being camouflaged. ("...but I have left mine a little nearer to the original suggestive word found in one refrain (ie rollocking - MCP)...The former (ie Robinson - MCP) calls it Galloping Randy Dandy O! - the word 'galloping' being the camouflaged one"). So he presumably thought the Colcord version had been toned down too. Whether this was based on his own supposition and experience or he had any absolute knowledge of this he doesn't say.
