Hi Ruby
I wasn't really aware of him at the time, but I do remember the song I linked to, also "Hungry For Love." Shame he died so young.Comment

Lonesome Train by The Pirates, also done well live by The Meteors. I've also found the lyrics to The Cat's Meat Man. I've no idea how it goes but somehow I picture George Formby singing it. Now, where did I put my banjo..
CAT'S-MEAT MAN.
Oh! love, it is a ticklish thing,
It makes true lovers blue,
I mean such chaps as me, whose heart
Is big enough for two;
For twelve long months I spent my time
And money, which was not much,
On a nursemaid in a family
Where they all spoke double Dutch.
Chorus.
But Sarah's gone and left me,
Her love for me was sham;
I never thought she was so false.
And elope with a cat's-meat man.
By trade I am a sandwich man,
That is, I carry boards,
And a poor man has a heart, to love
As well as dukes and lords;
And so had I, I told her so,
She promised me she'd wed,
And so she did, but 'twasn't me,
Twas the cat's-meat man instead.-Chorus.
I never had cause to doubt her,
Until I used to see
A cat's-meat man call twice a day,
Who tried to rival me;
With his pen'orth of meat upon a skewer,
Half-price to her he'd sell,
And that was how he won her heart
And left me here to tell.-Chorus.
She thought by marrying the cat's-meat man
To lead a happy life;
But he takes his case, she goes his rounds,
He's made her a useful wife;
I never knew that she could sing,
But she can so nice and sweet,
With a barrow in front, she screams and cries
Morning, noon and night: "Cat's-meat! " -Chorus.
I swore I'd have satisfaction,
I'll bring him to the ground;
I'll buy some poison and destroy
All the cats that's on his round;
If I kill the cats they won't want meat,
His trade to the dogs will go,
He stole my love, I'll steal his trade,
For a soldier then I'll go.
Spoken-And join the Donkey Rifle Corps.
Last Chorus.
Sarah's gone and left me.
Her love for me was sham;
She can go to Putney on a pig
Along with her cat's-meat man.Comment

I see it more as a Benny Hill song, with Hill as the CMM.
Oh! love, it is a ticklish thing,
It makes true lovers blue,
I had one girl in Chichester,
And another up in Crewe...Comment

Hello Robert. I think we can work on this. It's got xmas number one written all over it!Comment

Ha! I have another verse to fit in somewhere :
I told her straight :
"I thought our bliss eternal and complete.
But now I find of late,
You only want me for my meat."
TOTP here we come.
Oh! There is no TOTP.Comment

Not so much Cole Porter as "Oh Mr Porter" then!
