Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll
Got to do my best to please her, just ’cause she’s a livingdoll
Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul
Got the one and only walking talking, living doll
Take a look at her hair, it’s real
And if you don’t believe what I say, just feel
I’m gonna lock her up in a trunk
So no big hunk can steal her away from me
Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll
Got to do my best to please her, just ’cause she’s a livingdoll
Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul
Got the one and only walking talking, living doll
Well, take a look at her hair, it’s real
And if you don’t believe what I say, just feel
Gonna lock her up in a trunk
So no big hunk can steal her away from me
Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living doll
Got to do my best to please her, just ’cause she’s a livingdoll
Got a roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul
Got the one and only walking talking, living doll
So I blame them, I blame Cliff Richard and the Young Ones for all the Katie Price’s of the world. All those women whose makeup ensures that their skin never sees the light of day. Those whose skin has reached cosmetic saturation. The girls who are enlarging it, reducing it, or just plain tucking it in.
It’s bad enough that it was number one in 1959, but then the Young Ones put their punk oar in and made it ‘cool’ again in 1986.
And what is with wanting to lock her up in a trunk? Where is this imaginary big hunk that is coming to steal her away? That is just creepy.
I think a punishment is in order. They of them should be made to tour again. Having to sing the song, over and over and over again.
So here is my challenge to you. Let’s make it number one again. Get your computers out, go on itunes and download it. Download till your fingers bleed.
If God is looking down on me, they will be made to do it all in drag and I will be the one who gets to trowel on the makeup.
So look out Cliff, Vyvyan, Rick, Neil and Mike, I’m coming for you. Oh, for all those not old enough to remember, the 1986 version was the first ever Comic Relief single.
