I could play the tune in my head, but didn&#8217;t have a clue what it was called. Then while watching Kate Humble on some BBC bird programme about breeding pigeons on a sunday afternoon, I suddenly heard this amazing early seventies anthem.<\/p>\n<p>With iPhone technology the tune can get identified quite quickly with an app for recognising music i put it close to the television and immediatley it suggested &#8220;Mouldy Old Dough&#8221; recorded by Lieutenant Pigeon.Now i see why the BBC researches decided to put what i thought was a spededworth banger racing song in the background of a report on pidgeons. (the clue is in the group name, if you still haven&#8217;t caught up with me!)<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/aO5GWJJP3FM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/aO5GWJJP3FM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p><div class=\"e526d1e761560160a119e3b74cb2a974\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:5px 0 5px 0; text-align:center;\">\nskool\r\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1609637348681190\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3558122710\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&#8220;Mouldy Old Dough&#8221; was written by Nigel Fletcher and Rob Woodward and produced by Woodward and Fletcher, under the name of their other band, Stavely Makepeace.<\/p>\n<p>Amazingly Jarvis Cocker once on BBC Radio 4 Desert Island Discs chose it as one of his songs.
