For some reason on my previous plumbing thread it is impossible to add a comment.
Most odd.
Anyway do you have any great plumbing (the depths) songs?
This was an attempt to keep Garyswordiplythread updated as we are in danger of losing the most popular thread disappearing.

Hurrah.
Let’s dance the bleedin’ obvious.
All that household and commercial plumbing ens up somewhere
Tin Solder: Small Faces.
Up Around The Bend
Pete Coe (and Corinne Male, and thecheshirecat, and Carl who was in the pub session last Tuesday) sings The PR Man from Hell by Trevor Carter. Way too obscure to appear on the ‘Tube. It’s timely, as it’s about the chief executives of water companies creaming the money.
Any road up, my favourite line is :
“So, by way of reply, the devil ….. /
Shakes his head like a plumber and sucks through his teeth”
10:15 On A Saturday Night
and the tap drips, drip drip drip drip drip….
There’s a Hole in My Bucket – a proto-plumbing classic.
Big Jobs No. 2 (by Poo and the Wee Wees) – by the ever-tasteful Hatfield and the North.
Fitter Stoke Has a Bath – another by the Hatfields, here solely to justify my final selection, which is:
Let it Rain – by Derek and the Dominos. Possibly more about roofing than plumbing, but think overflowing baths upstairs and I think this will pass muster.

Richard and Linda Thompson – Just a Motion.
Goodness knows what this is about…
And here he is on a toilet on a huge mobile podium in a giant shiny-floor show. There is clearly something about South Asian pop that we’re never going to understand…
Did the Apollo 11 have central heating?
Radiators From Space – Television Screen

True but I’d not realised he’d performed it.
One of Martin Gore’s best opening lines:
“Get out the crane…construction time again!”

How about the mighty Splodgenessabounds with “I Fell In Love With A Female Plumber From Harlsden NW 10”
How could I forget the mighty ‘Wamba and Drip, Drip, Drip:
Janet Kay – Silicone Games.
Right Said Fred – You’re My Mait.
Possibly too on the nose:
HMHB – CORGI Registered Friends

Percy says I’d give it a minute if I were you:
Mr Stink’s Blues.
I name this fitment Twyfords Vitromant.
As this thread has now moved in a predictably lavatorial direction, our Bonzo Dog correspondent, Mr. V. Stanshall has something he needs to tell us.
The Cisterns of Mercy – Flood
