Assuming that that clip has only whetted your appetite for Doo-Dah Da-Da, below is Crank, broadcast in 1995 as an obituary salute and touchingly introduced by John Peel.

I have to admit that I was always slightly alarmed by Viv in the flesh, not only because of his sometimes unusual behavior, but by the feeling that I was face to face with someone whose thought processes were not only very different to mine but vastly superior.
