Thanks WCosand for the above clips and to Smagbatiesque for the file,
although unfortunately it does look like a page might be missing (p.70).

Combining Dudley Moore's Colonel Bogey in the style of 'The Van' with
YouTube gives us this:-

p70 was a photo of Dud, no music is missing

Thanks for letting us know. The music across pages 69 and 71 did seem to uninterrupted,
but it does seem a little odd that the publisher should insert a picture of Dud in between!

It's from a compilation of BTF material, not just music.

Thanks for the above. Here are a couple of daft songs from Hugh Laurie.
The second one deservedly has a somewhat violent ending!

This topic has taken flight from its original fancy, so I've moved it into a perhaps more appropriate area.

That's a shame, I was going to post more sheet music, but it will get lost in the new place.

Please don't be put off! I, for one, greatly enjoy seeing music of this type,
and the site itself is undoubtedly enhanced by having a lighter side imo.
