All I know is the old East End ditty, "I got a luvverly buncha coconuts.."
I know a lot of them.
Some more potent than others - Grandad used to sing this to us (being fairly innocuous)
Merv Griffin's version.
Blimey he sounds posh!
My favourite went:
All of a sudden
A dirty great pudding
Went flying through the air
Aimed at my brother
It hit my poor mother
And knocked her off the chair
Now
Ain't it a pity
She's only one titty to bash against the wall...?
Was possibly a parody or a rude song to a common tune.
In later years it reminded me of the songs the proles sang in 1984. I can't help but wonder if Orwell based them on those.
ETA - Added second song before I read IM's reply.
