This sounds to me like a properly serious Radio Three question...

It's not questions I want, it's answers! Find me an awful song about the Lone Ranger please.....

Find me an awful song about the Lone Ranger please.....

ahh, seriously Radio Three

[Flay]

Radio 1 banned it (for a while)

Well at least the answer is.... (have you cracked it, ferney?)

I dunno: it's just that the Lone Ranger's sidekick was called Tonto, which is Spanish for "stupid"/"dumb".

No, not Tonto. A somewhat longer name, and not of a person

Radio 1 banned it (for a while)

According to wiki: "The Lone Ranger" was first released in 1976. After it was chosen as Tony Blackburn's "Record of the Week" (the nationwide morning radio show with the highest ratings in the UK at the time), it was banned - some fragments of lyrics were deemed to have "drug" and "homosexual" references.
Sorry, only just reading through this thread. I don't have an answer, just the above trivia.
Edit: Just seen Flay's dogs - who's the one next to Ellie, he has very soulful eyes!

That was a neighbour's dog, big Ben, unfortunately no longer with us. He was a lovely old soul.

The very record I was after. It later became popular when Kenny Everett used it. Watch this one through:

... is anyone going to supply us with a compleat, Anna-compliant answer?

And one that demonstrates how very Radio Three it is??

Has Flay been sniffing the surgical spirit again?
