  The Goodies always seemed like a parallel Monty Python. Barry Took brought together the team for Monty Python.

  IIRC ... everybody and their dog seemed to cover Bill Oddie's Wild Thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMxFYfXCe4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMxFYfXCe4Y

      uh, might as well argue the definite Gassenhauer from Neusiedler's 1536, through Orff in the 1920s, to Hans freaking Zimmer in 1993. enjoy: !Trogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr3iI8gg2fo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr3iI8gg2fo

  I grew up on The Goodies. Long time ago now, but I think it shaped my impression of comedy as much as Monty Python. A more recent favorite comedy series is The Mighty Boosh, who list The Goodies as a strong influence. Vale Bill Oddie, thank you for what you provided.
