I really had the hots for the woman singing this:

 

[Dayvo]

Can't believe that I missed hearing this in the 70s! Only heard it last summer for the very first time.
If I'd known about them, I might have had a different CC user name.

Remember that "Gordon is a Moron" song?
Tough cheddar if yer name was Gordon when that song came out.

Jilted John - yeah!

I actually worked with someone called Gordon at the time, in a factory in the Midlands. We always had lots of radios tuned in to Radio 1 during the day and every time Jilted John came on when JJ sang 'Gordon is a moron' we all turned and pointed at our Gordon and sang along. He absolutely hated it. The trouble was, the more angry that he got, the more it encouraged us to do it! Childish, and slightly mean of us, but if he'd only had a sense of humour we'd have had a laugh a couple of times and then got bored of it.

Somewhere in my attic I have that on a single, plus an album of theirs (I have several) in green vinyl

Top 5 in 1986. Not as wilfully "wacky" as some of the other suggestions so far, but definitely very odd...

My band did a metal cover of this for charity once, I didn't hear the song for the first time until after the performance. I wish I had a recording of it!

One section of this made a great answering machine message, back when folk still had such things:

Embarassingly, after all these years, I still like this song!

Kick Inside was a great album, but her videos were irritating.
Never understood why Funky Moped ever got onto TOTP!

Mouldy Old Dough:

 

[ColinJ]

Mouldy Old Dough, eh - who could forget Mouldy Old Dough!

(Fnaar, apparently, from about 2 hours ago! )

T'was the b side of Jocko Homo I think. Strange to think they do film and TV scores now!

 

[MossCommuter]

For some reason this always reduces me to tears of laughter everytime I hear it.

Unfortunately I cannot find a proper video for it but it's Leonard Nimmoy's rendition of "If I had a hammer".

Enjoy:

No.1 in 1981. She's Scottish, you know...

Sod off Smutch! That's one of my all-time guilty favourites!

A truly awful 'song' by Telly Savalas with the added pleasure of TOTP being presented by a young Flying Monkey
