The Hedgehog Song.

[Finless]

On another thread I referred to "The Hedgehog Song" and quoted the below opening lines.

"A hedgehog named Dan set up home in a can,
until he got turned out of his bucket"

I'll be VERY suprised if ANYONE knows the song of which I speak ..... well, typed!

I just had a quick Google and I do not mean the Pratchett song. The one I'm talking about is on a live double album from the Reading Rock Festival. I think this is worth a post on its own

Does anyone know of it, who it's by etc etc?

Sorry, the only "hedgehog" song I know about is the terry Pratchett one... where, apparently, the hedgehog can never be bu66ered, at all....

This song was from before I was about 25 years old so .................. late 70s or early 80s. I was a crowd participation song where the crowd had to supply what they thought was the missing word. Naturally ALL were rude.

They all rhymed with the appropriate words in the song .... bucket, blunt etc ..... I'm sure you get the picture. The crowd had great fun and to hear many thousands of people yelling out 'f*ck it'# or 'wanker' or 'c*nt' was, for some reason, hilarious. Of course, I seem to find that 'toilet humour' amusing. I'm sure they must have been able to hear it in Reading town centre!

Sadly, I was not at the Reading when this was recorded but, as mentioned, it is on a live double album I bought.

....... I think the blokes name was Jacky something .............. Oh well, I'll have a look tonight.

Well this one takes me back....(verses might be out of order....memory isn't what it used to be)

A hedgehog name Dan set up home in a can,
When he got thrown out of his BUCKET,
When asked can we talk, the Hedgehog said wit a snort,
"ive only one thing and thats **** it!!"

Andrew the ant was half way thru a good w**k
when he got stopped by Tommy the duck,
he said you wont be in jam, to tell me about dan,
when quite frankly i dont give a ****

"i don't give a ***,
oh i dont give a ****,
Tommy i don't give a ****"
"oh i dont give a ***,
i dont give a ****,
Tommy i dont give a ****"

Andrew the owl scratched his head with a scowl
and said "i thought everey can was a hedgehogs castle"
"there's only one thing to do with the one who made him move,
thats plant me boot right up his a*****e"

This upset Doug who was a redish brown slug,
and known to be incredibly blunt
out popped his head and with a slobber he said
"who ever turned Dan out's a C**T"

Now this isnt the end of ths stor my friend,
a bad deed is seldom forgot,
coz the one who moved Dan(fancy kicking a little hedgehog out eh?)
was bu a bus over-ran
and they all shouted f****n good job


it was a f****n good job,
oh a f*****n good job,
they all shouted f*****g good job
t was a f****n good job,
oh a f*****n good job,
they all shouted f*****g good job.


Class song!!!!

Yes, perhaps I should record my vinyl copy and stick it up YouTube.

Not forgetting the other classic "a wizards staff has a knob on the end"

[Marky Mark]

Jackie compared Reading in '82 (I think, it might have been '83) and had the entire crowd singing it, it's on the Reading album. God that takes me back.

Sorry, didn't read the whole post, I was there though if it helps.
He said at the time they would release it as a single but never did.
