The Goons - Dance with Me Henry


Playing Next: Starset - Let It Die (Official Audio)
Random Page  /  Random Song


One of the fourteen singles released by Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Spike Milligan a.k.a. 'The Goons'. From June 1955.

The success of The Goon Show inevitably led to approaches for The Goons to make commercial records, and in June 1955, Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers entered EMIs Abbey Road recording studios to make the first Goons single.

The session featured a hilarious deconstruction of the ballad \"Unchained Melody\" as sung by Bluebottle and Eccles and a duet by Minnie Bannister and Henry Crun, \"Dance with Me Henry\". Despite the success of the session, both recordings remained unreleased for many years due to the publishers of the original \"Unchained Melody\" taking exception to the flippant treatment of the song in this parody. Unreleased for thirty five years, both recordings were finally released by EMI as a single in 1990.
