Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Horse with No Name (from America)
Subject: RE: Desert-Horse-Name
There was a spoof band called the Heebie-Jeebies (Phillip Pope et al.) who used to do a spot on a BBC radio show called Radio-Active about fifteen years ago, sending up the Bee Gees with such gems as Meaningless words in very high voices (example: "The world is very big/And bacon comes from a pig/The world is very large/And butter is better than marge"). Their version went, as best I can remember:
On the first part of the journey
I was lookin' at all the life.
There were rocks and plants and birds and things
And [?]
On the second part of the journey
I was lookin' at all the life.
There were rocks and plants [etc.]
On the third part of the journey
I was lookin' at all the life.
There were rocks and plants [etc.]
Chorus: I've been through the desert on a horse with no legs ...
Happy days!
