I’m in a pub where someone has just started singing the red car-blue car song from that early 90s Milky Way ad.

It’s probably still showing in Cornwall.

To quote the great Ian Wright “I’m not saying people in Cornwall are backwards but they still point at airplanes”.

It had to be reworded to remove the claim about not ruining your appetite. The ad was re-released in 2009 but I'm sure the rewording was earlier than that.

I always resented the blue car and wanted the red to win.

I had to look it up, because I have never, ever heard that song.

Nice use of 'prickly trees' to rhyme with 'everything he sees' in the lyrics. Though what's the alternative? 'He has an appetite like Galactus, Oh, fuck, he ate that cactus!'

Yes they animators rather hemmed in the lyricist didn’t they? ‘He had a penchant for caryophyllales, He was a car that also craved cabrales.’ ?

If they start reciting the Libby’s Moonshine ad at any point, run. And don’t stop.

How about this one: "It's too orangey for crows. It's just for me and ma dog " "I'll be your dog." Woof-woof-woof-woof woof-woof-woof.

That would have been less annoying.

I sang that complete to my wife yesterday. She thought I'd lost it. I didn't bother reciting Um Bongo.
