"Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
But now he can't afford a
Finger of fudge is just enough
To give your kids a treat"

"I've got a feeling inside of me
That's kind of strange like
The Milky Bar Kid is strong and tough...."

Maybe we could persuade Captain Sensible to do an advert for Weetabix or John Cooper Clarke to do one for Sugar Puffs.... no, I'm just being ridiculous now

For some reason I still sing

"I like fish and I like liver / I like chicken in my dinner

[..forgotten this bit..]

Now you know a cat's meow means meowmix, meowmix, meowmix MEOW"

at people every so often. I never sing Pictures Of Matchstick Men at anyone so I guess Meowmix wins.

a friend o' mine once answered my call by reciting Meowmix theme. I had cajoled her into doing this beforehand tho. but it was still the best thing ever.

"Meow Mix Theme", just 'cause I have no fond recollections of Homer Simpson mentally singing along to "Matchstick Men", apropos of nothing.

surprisingly tough question

in seriousness though, I remember having a pretty ecstatic experience the first time I heard pictures of matchstick men

It really made an impression on me, too! And I must have been pretty young.

(I should note that I’m referring to the CVB version)

the original for me, right at the peak of a college party, although I remember liking the CVB a lot too around the same age.
