It all started as a cartoon.

Original songs from the mid to late 1970's. My first adventures in songwriting and performing. Good times
It exists therefore it am. They came from inner space and left no turn unstoned. The journey began and nothing was ever the same again (or during). Are you ready to cruise with the Spaceship Vicar?

Story behind the song
Egbert Nosh was a colorfully animated cartoon film designed by Hilary Hayton and shown on the BBC May 1 1974 (based on a children's book by Paul Groves.) In it Egbert takes his house, garage and dustbin for a walk. I was so impressed back then that I wrote a song about it and around 1976 used to sing it with a band called Mr. Grumbold. I understand the original cartoon was wiped - but I found a few Nosh pics and a snippet of video on YouTube called 'Egg' on the web. (Very very little out there - and the book goes for quite a price on E-Bay!) Mixed what I could find up with a few other images. If anybody else remembers it, then enjoy! It's just a silly song about a kiddies book that caught my imagination back in the day :-) Video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCcqBgM6gn4
Lyrics
The Silly Sage of Unexplainable Egbert Nosh Adrian J Pratt 1974 Egbert Nosh, Ever so posh Have you seen him on your TV? He's portrayed in technicolour A funny sort of fellow Is Egg-Bert Nosh Egg-Bert, Egg-Bert Nosh He owns a house Which takes fancies to walking about So does his garage His dustbin rides a motorbike But poor old Egbert could not allow that It attracted attention Much to Much to Much to Much to Much to Talkabout So he signs up an agreement To see his holdings have fair traetment He promises to take His holdings out on Sunday So for the rest of the week They will remain normal Suburban sundry. (Guitar break) Egbert Nosh, Ever so posh Have you seen him on your TV? He's portrayed in technicolour A funny sort of fellow Is Egg-Bert Nosh Egg-Bert, Egg-Bert Nosh Egbert Nosh, Ever So posh Egbert Nosh, Ever So posh Egbert Nosh, Ever So posh Egbert Nosh, Ever So posh Egbert Nosh, Egbert Nosh.
