Classical music themes that were banned by the BBC committee due to "distortion of melody, harmony and rhythm" were the Cougars' 1963 single "Saturday Nite at the Duck-Pond"- Wikipedia.
Still iconic. I used to work with the bass player Adrian Morgan at EMI in Wells and played along with him in other bands. Are you still around and rocking Adrian?
Never heard of the band until just when i read the bass guitarist has just died. Then read that the BBC banned this record so searched for it assuming there were some risque lyrics... So after listening to this i'm totally stumped as to why is was banned. Anyone know why?

It was a 45 rpm record I bought by the Rock group from Bristol at the start of the British Rock bands whose heroes were Eddie Cochran Buddy Holly etc what was the fllpside title & value second hand ?

Terrific - I loved this 60 years ago - and it's still good! Thanks for posting - I lost my 45 many years ago!
Love this underrated band ,just as good as the shadows ,ventures from late 50s early 60s. It rocks. Long live rock n roll 🔥
And don't forget Burt weddon

Along with the Shadows, The Cougars were the best around, Beautiful.

One wonders how Nutrocker (Kim Fowley) survived the Beeb ban ?
@@geoffryllewellyn7693 We, like many bands, cut our teeth on these hits before we could find a singer. Great fun.
格調高い、しかも美しい演奏。

sadly not.
Sadly Adrien passed away Dec 2023
I like how the guitar is not on beat and doesn't sound perfect, nowadays everything is computer generated and it sounds robotic and boring.
