The first ever ‘zoo DJ’, a demo tape of Kenny Everett’s bedroom ‘radio station’ won the bearded comic his first gig on pirate station Radio London. Broadcast from a ship off the Essex coast, the top-rated Kenny and Cash Show came jammed with skits, catchphrases, sharp tape edits and near-the-knuckle humour alongside sidekick Dave Cash. Having heard the pair idly riffing on-air about body parts one afternoon, David Cumming (a TV writer for Val Doonican and Rolf Harris) penned a suitable ditty and pitched the idea of recording a single. A partial parody of Sonny and Cher’s ‘I Got You Babe’, enunciated in received pronunciation, its lyrics pondered life without knees: “Your legs would be pegs from your thigh to your heel/How would you ice-skate?/How would you kneel?” with a deliberately bad guitar solo. Neither Everett (pictured) or Cash were particularly enamoured of it, Cash calling it “the most terrible single in the world”. For its flip, Cumming knocked off a spoken word skit called ‘The ‘B’ Side’, a riff about “the other side of the record, the one no-one plays” that’s almost of a piece with Sonny & Cher flip ‘Hello’ [‘But You’re Mine’, ATCO 1965]. All parties were suitably incredulous when Decca made ‘The ‘B’ Side’ the A-side. Why? It ultimately mattered not, since any hopes of Radio London airplay were dashed when Everett was dismissed for mocking Garner Ted Armstrong, the radio evangelist who kept the station afloat.
