"The Police don't mind how many calls they get" "every call is investigated"
For your information
In the UK the BBC has over the years had an obligation as a public service broadcaster to transmit public service information films.
There have been hundreds of them and some are quite famous.
I remember many from my childhood and every now and then they still broadcast the odd one.
However, when looking back many of these films now seem quite ridiculous and do amuse me as much as some of the crap music i post.
They tend to be talking down to idiots who spend their lives sticking screw drivers into light sockets or walking across the road without looking.
Many of the films seem to be about petty little nothings and others appeal only to children.
One or two look like they are trying to scare the living daylights out of the viewer
So every now and then i would like to add a few of my favourite Crap public information films to this blog.
Be warned i have hundreds of them.
Not a replacement for the music, but just as amusingly naff interlude.
Starting with this one from 1974.
Watch out for "I'd rather not say what's in the saddlebag, it's personal..."

Herbie Duncan Escape with me
Sadly circumstances beyond my control have meant i have had little time of late to update this blog as often as usual so please check out the back catalogue (LOL) and delve further into the blog for some even worse trash than this to make you smile.
A special thanks also to culturvulture who keeps kicking me up the backside and reminding me to keep things going.
This Rock & Roll classic courtesy of him ;-)
Go on you know you want to smile.

Pope on a rope
Slightly off subject but as i have a few minutes to spare and no time to post music i thought i would widen my field of vision with the Craplister blog.
If i come across ANYTHING that i consider amusing crap i will post it.
I will still stick to music in the main but every now and then something catches my eye and i can no longer resist the temptation to add it to this page
So tonight, to commemorate the popes visit to America how about some tasteful souvenirs...

Kenny Heart of Stone
Even as i child the Bizarre vocals on this song used to crack me up.
For the record the singer is a man, a man who has obviously caught his testicles in a car door.
This is not so much singing as screaming

Tony Collins Try a little tenderness
No relation to Phil Collins (i hope)
This one moved me to tears(of laughter)
My current favourite, i think you'll agree a classic version of a classic song, loving the echo machine....

Reginald Bosanquet Newsletter
I had an e-mail this evening from fellow lover of crap music who asked a question.
"What's on the B Side of Dance with me by Reginald Bosanquet ?"
70`s ITN newsreader Reginald Bosanquet was my first ever craplister audio post
Suddenly it made me realise, if these are the A sides, what the hell must the B side sound like ?
I have re posted the Original Reg Record below But here is the other side
Not as good but still worthy of a listing.

Reginal Bosanquet Dance with me
Reginald Bosanquet was a famous ITN Newsreader in the 70`s
in 1980 he made a disco record, probably the worst disco record ever made...

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
To show that the idea of this blog is for nothing more than amusement and that there is no malicious intent in my postings i think it my duty to post this audio recording
I think i have mentioned before that i have been helping my elderly father clear out his loft of some old rubbish.
This has been much more fun than i imagined it would be because apart from some quite amazing tat, i have also found lots of happy memories.
Amongst this stuff was a pile of old reel to reel tapes.
Some of them haven't been played for 20 or 30 years so i needed to find a player before i could even listen to them.
Most contain music recorded off the radio but now and then there are the odd gems like the family taking, or us as children singing.
I have no idea when this was recorded or how old i am at the time, but for your entertainment and my embarrassment i give you......
ME ! single a track from the Sgt Pepper Album (it had the lyrics written on the back)
That all time classic Beatles song Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Please pay special attention to my excellent guitar accompaniment and vocal harmonies
Why i never became a pop superstar i will never know.

Telex Rock around the clock
Take one of the happiest sounding songs in the world.
Suck all the life and soul out of it.
And make it sound like music to slit your wrists to.
These poor men sound depressed to me
