===Song=== Punch is faithfully celebrated in the 1977 UK novelty hit "Naughty Naughty Naughty", in which [[Joy Sarney]] interacts romantically with an authentic Mr Punch, complete with swazzle, stick, and his traditional catch phrases including "That's the way to do it" and "Oh no it isn't". The song made it into the top 30 of the [[UK Singles Chart]] and was performed on the BBC television series ''[[Top of the Pops]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jul01/articles/chris.asp |title=Heavy Rain |website=Soundonsound.com |accessdate=2 June 2024 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141221062133/http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jul01/articles/chris.asp |archivedate=21 December 2014 }}</ref> "Naughty Naughty Naughty" remains Sarney's only hit.<ref>{{cite book | first= David| last= Roberts| year= 2006 | title= British Hit Singles & Albums| edition= 19th | publisher= Guinness World Records Limited | location= London| isbn= 1-904994-10-5| page= 482}}</ref> The British band [[Marillion]] had a UK Top 40 single called "[[Punch and Judy (song)|Punch and Judy]]" in 1984.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/614/marillion/|title=Marillion | full Official Chart History |website=Officialcharts.com|access-date=3 June 2024}}</ref> American singer-songwriter [[Elliott Smith]] included a song titled after the show on his 1997 album, ''[[Either/Or (album)|Either/Or]]''.
