On the Ning Nang Nong Where the cows go Bong!
And the monkeys all say Boo!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping
And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.

etc.

Is Turk still playing Harry Secombe? Aaagh...

It's sounds like it was written by Stump!

THE MING MANG MONG

On the Ming Mang Mong
Where the cats go and sing a song
And dogs all say what's wrong

There's a Mong Mang Ming
Robins can sing
Mang Ming Mong
Cows go bong.

Ming Mong Mang
Mice go clang

What a noisy place to belong to

It's the Ming Mang Mong!

I've just bought one of those new limited edition musical "Alco-Furbies". I'm thinking of formimg a Ming Mang Mong tribute band of Furbies if anyone else would like to join me in this exciting new venture?

As it was my idea, my new emoto-tronic friend will of course take the role of Furby-Mick within the band.

― Pilchard Vostock, Wednesday, 11 May 2005 13:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I have it on regal authority that Ming Mang Mong have signed a THREE figure deal with TuftyClub records. The deal involves free bags of lichen to be given to the band members at all future gigs and when there is a full moon. It remains unconfirmed what Kesh Mongreilf's position in the band now is, although several rumours abound that the two harrisions may lead a 'double pronged bass attack' at the next WOLF PARTY at the Shaekespeares head. Lets hope its doesn't end up sounding like Ned's Atominc Dustbin, fer gawds sake.

― Herbert Sherbert, Wednesday, 11 May 2005 14:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey now, Ned's at least had the courtesy to name themselves after me (oh they claim it was the Goon Show but I know).

awww, nevermind Kesh. how about joining my band, "I Was Brought Up In A Hippy LoveCult"? we're playing a gig at the Shed, and Dave Davies might come along ... think of the fame and fortune!

I like the little ditties you write musing about imaginary numbers. Maybe you should team up with rock librarian god and leather trouser wearer, Stevie Twee (the sad hedgehogs have split, due to arguments about whether they should cover 'Let the sunshine through Your Anorak' by C86 favourites 'Cellophane'). You could be the next Morrisssey and Marr!

Kesh Mongreilf has decided to abandon the music industry to concentrate on his doctoral thesis entitled: The Third Force: Carbonated Soft Drinks of the 1970s. He will be performing a surprise solo farewell gig as second support for The Chemistry Experiment at The Attic tomorrow. The set will consist of "mumbling about numbers and stuff". Geordie Mick is not expected to attend.

― Mongreilf's press agent, Monday, 16 May 2005 11:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Apparently Geordie Mick and Percy have now decided to embark on a tour as a pair of stand up comedians in the mold of Laurel and Hardy (or as some dry wags have commented, Cannon and Ball). They start at the Attik tonight, as THIRD support to the Chemistry Experiment, where their improvisional slaptick brand of humour is likely to be appreciated. Rumours are that they may also heckle Kesh Mongreilf by quoting some of his own lyrics back to him from the Ming Mang Mong days, in high pitched squeeky voices, while also spitting ice cubes ironically, in an attempt to make him lose his cool and forget his mumbling set.

― Ming Mang Mongreilf, Tuesday, 17 May 2005 10:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Thats funny, i'm sure i heard on the grapevine that tonights coveted 3rd support slot went to exciting new band Ox In Sox. Causing commotion as far away as Bunny, these hott young gunslingers are well known for their onstage attire of one sock each a la Chilli Peppers. "Members" onstage tonight are rumoured to include That Guy With The Glasses Who Hangs Around With The Regs, Smiley Martin, Matt The Mod, the ubiquitous Tom The Voilinist, and Carl With The Starey Eyes (who is said to be always up for a/some jam).
Ms. Kawasaki was unavailable for comment.

― That Victorian Girl, Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Third support may be disputed (and apparently Percy wants Mick to be "the fat one") but FOURTH support slot has been taken by Beeston based all-synth Chemistry Experiment tribute band Electronics Kit who once lent Emily their Ondioline.

― Edwardian Boy, Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Apparently Percy and Mick end their comedy set with Percy storming off stage shouting "That's anonther fine mess you've gotten me into!", while Mick does fake crying and twiddles his hair. The 'catchphrase' will be all over the nations schoolyards within the year, just you watch!

― Another bloody polyamourist another planet, Tuesday, 17 May 2005 12:38 (eighteen years ago) link

After an auction on ebay the FIFTH support slot has been sold to Kevin Bloody Hewick for six million quid!

― Bus Shelters of the World, Unite and Take Over!, Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:00 (eighteen years ago) link

The SIXTH support slot at the gig is going to a reformed 'sad hedgehogs' with John Hogg taking over the vocal duties, altho rumour has it he will be doing nothing other than communicating via the use of smoke signals, like a native indian sqaw. What would Laura say?

I work for an advertising agency and our latest account is for the Ming Mang Mong album. The Tv adverts feature Big Brother star Jade Goody. The ad was filmed yesterday and starts with Jade writhing in ecstacy on a bed with "Theme from Ming Mang Mong" playing in the background. She turns to camera and says "I ain't a minger but I am a Ming Mang Monger and I'm listening to Ming Mang Mong's new album "Ming Mang Mong 1" on TuftyClub records. Buy it now !!" The ads are apparantly being shown next week during Coronation Street, Celbrity Love island and Channel 5's Real Sex.

― Flora Cromer, Friday, 27 May 2005 10:11 (eighteen years ago) link

According to Geordie Mick Ming Mang Mong have disowned the advert, which was sanctioned by TuftyClub supremo Torquil Twongton-Hogg. Livid with embarrasment at being associated with the "rough-as-fuck minor has-been celeb" (his words) he announced the band were changing their name to Mung Mang Mong and the new album would be renamed "In Search of Beans". "We're like Hawkwind now," he added, "only better."

Geordie Mick was spotted at last nights New Potatoes sporting a stencil of the word SLAVE on his cheek, which he now intends to have every time he appears in public as a statement on the impasse between himself and Tuftyclub records. He is apparantly refusing to gig or do any promotional appearances under the name Ming Mang Mong until released form his contract, and instead the band will be playing a series of secret gigs as The Cabbages. He was last seen lying in the gutter (but gazing at the stars) on Free Lane,muttering "If Tuftyclub think they're getting their poxy £270 advance back they've got another thing coming. It's all gone".. while staring at the bottle of White Lightening he was clutching.

― Rachel Brunt, Saturday, 28 May 2005 13:21 (eighteen years ago) link

There's a rumour going around that "The Cabbages" will be playing a guerilla gig at tomorrows bank holiday all dayer at the Firefly, storming the stage just before Kevin Hewick's set.

― Stephanie Crumpet, Sunday, 29 May 2005 15:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Sadly a rumour was all it remained, although apparently Percy and Mick now end their comedy set crossed legged on the floor facing the audience, with their thumbs aloft like fonzie, singing "ooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy! Condensed Milk Sandwiches!" in a high pitched nasal twang.

It's hilarious!

― The Phantom Flan Flinger, Tuesday, 31 May 2005 10:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Mick is now claiming to be "better than Robert Calvert" and, under the Mung Mang Mong psuedonym, has released a cover of the "Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters" album, but all changed and mixed up so as to slag of everyone ever. The cover just features a big picture of Pat's weary face, but upside down!

I've never met him, but Geordie Mick has been my artistic muse ever since I heard the Fabians/Ears go fff! split single.

I have written a short story about my lovely muse which you can read here : http://www.cheyenneblue.com/cactus.htm.

― Cheyenne Blue, Thursday, 2 June 2005 13:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Strange but spoon bendingly completey true. Kesh Mongreilf has written a screen play to a Ming Mang Mong sit-com, which also stars Jade Goody, who lives in a house with the rest of the band. The crazed mathematician and open plan barge designer knocked up the idea whilst trying to teach himself plumbing and had the first 6 episodes ready by tea time. The idea is loosley based on the young ones except instead of blowing up the telly Geordie Mick consumes all the milk in every epsisode, much to Peter Unpronouncable name from Heavenly's (who guest stars as himself) annoyance.

― arnold falsener, Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:21 (eighteen years ago) link

I have seen the rushes. Like Japan, the result is unmitigated exoticism by way of subtractive process.

Peter Unpronouncable name from Heavenly says at the end of every episode "It would appear that Geordie Mick has consumed all the milk" beofre splitting his infinitives yet again.

― Roger O'Donnell, Thursday, 2 June 2005 15:39 (eighteen years ago) link

I have insider details (oh, alright, Geordie Mick himself told me) of what geordie mick has been up to. He plays bass on that new Go Kart Mozart record under the pseudonym "Brown Sauce". Lawrence had orginally met him in cherry red's offices when he went in to complain about them never getting the covers to look right, and they hit it off immediately. Although he didn't get any hard cash for his bass doodlings, GM was paid by 'laughing larry' in the form of 47 3 litre bottles of only slightly out of date white lightening!

two weeks pass...

Geordie Mick has changed his name to Captain Rational and Ming Mang Mong have changed direction yet again, this time doing loungecore versions of Damned songs. At the opening gig at the musiciain in leicester t'other week, Geordie's bass went very out of tune during "Just Can't Be Happy Today", yet he only made rudimentary attempts to get it back in tune, and it still sounded horrible. "That'll do for you bastards" he said in a croydon accent, winking at the dumbfounded audience below.

― Cuddle, Monday, 27 June 2005 15:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes its true, Scottish Mick is now a DJ on Norwegian radio!!! Last week was his inaugural show, and he wowed his listeners with a mixture of Rudimentary Penii, Androids of Mu, Seefeels' classic track "The boy who cries from one eye", Holiday Boy, Fish From Tahiti, Noise R Us, Thee Saxby St Hookers and a rare flexi by c86 chancers the Snowbirds.
Unfortunately he forgot to play anything by the Krankies, and now has to renounce his presidency of the Krankies Fandabidozy Fan Club. Wee Jeanette was quoted as saying "I might have broken my leg falling of that scenery last year, but this just broke my heart"

― Springheeled Jack, Monday, 27 June 2005 15:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I hear tracks by Yeah Yeah Anorak Squid, Another Sunny Day, The Scringe, Nice Strong Arm, Blodwyn Pig, Holly Hobby, The Washing Up Liquid, Look Mum No Hands, and the Honkin' Nasal Twangsters also made Scotia's playlist.

Not forgetting The Haggis Collectors, Scraggle, Po!, Blessed Ethel, Rognor Begis, Henry Flaccid and the Steaming Coilers, Jefferson Starship and ELO.

― Scared of Ghosts, Monday, 27 June 2005 16:14 (eighteen years ago) link

As well as all this, to liven up the show, Scotia started telling anecdotes about the time he played on the dodgems with Brian Molko at the Spanish version of Reading festival, getting Charlie Nicholas to autograph a copy of Pointless Walks to Dismal Places, going to see QPR with Robert Smith and Sean Hughes, and the time he was he had a walk on part in panto (in Alladin!) with Tim Brooke Taylor.

Nova Scotia Mikhail did start to lose the crowds sympathy a bit when he mentioned that as a fully signed up Mormon he was planning to get into the Guiness Book of Records for the largest simultaneous polygamous marriage.

The marriage, which will take place on an island in the middle of Norways famous Black Fjord later this month, will involve the union of Mick, a spider monkey named Chichi, an Austrian lass he met in a pub in Oslo (name unknown) and the entire female population of a tribe of chimpanzees from the Congo.

Attendance open to all and the gift list is available at Threshers.

― L Ron Hibbett, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 08:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Apparently songs at the wedding will include 'Big Pink Cake' by the Razorcuts, 'She cries alone' by the Skeletel Family, Coil's version of 'Tainted love', 'Scared of Ghosts' by Discordia, 'The Don Diddy Song' by Fools Dance, 'Exercise is Good for You, Laziness is not' by the Wombles and 'Toni Macoroni' by the Krankees!

― A wonky eyed boy, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 09:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Unlikely but true pairing. Scottish Mick and Jay Kay from Jamiroquai have teamed up to record a 'funkay' version of Lionel Richie's "Dancing on the Ceiling" for Live 8. The video is hilarious, with Jay Kay able to bounce around all over the ceiling, while the confounded Mick just taps dances in confusion on the floor, like a dieing fly. Rumours are the pair got on great and exchanged hats/ceramic monkeys at the end of the session, and to celebrate went for a pretend grand prix race on the go karts at Wicksteed park! Jay Kay won, although generously gave Mick some of his fizzy white cider he got as the prize. Free Bevvy!

― The Insider, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 12:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Does the large-livered one perform his famous coffee table tap dance at all? Or is he just dancing whilst wrestling with a giant beer tap behind the 10 foot high bar in homage to the Goodies and the Beanstalk?

His public needs to know!

― Alfie Bass, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 12:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Shock news is that Scottish Mick has asked Geordie Mick to be his best man at the forthcoming wedding. Unfortunately Geordie Mick can't make it as Ming Mang Mong are performing at Live 8 on the day of the wedding. He is planning on sending a man in a dead badger costume as a stand in instead.

Dead badgers are considered very lucky at Norwegian weddings and this gesture of goodwill could lead to the oft-mooted Prolapse reunion happening much sooner than expected.

It is unknown if Scottish Mick has invited Linda to be a bridesmaid, but Tim the drummer is believed to be doing the catering. I can't wait for one of raw fish vol-au-vents!

The one about them trying to sell some old metal they'd found in the train graveyard to a scrap metal merchant in order to get the £1.42 needed to buy a half a pint of mild each would've been in there, I think.
