Editing The Goon Show (section)

===Records===
The Goons made a number of records, including "I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas" (originally sung by Milligan in the show to fill in during a musicians' strike), and "Bloodnok's Rock and Roll Call", the B-side of which, the "[[Ying Tong Song]]", soon became more popular and was reissued as an A-side in the mid-1970s, becoming a surprise novelty hit. The last time all three Goons worked together was in 1978 when they recorded two new songs, "The Raspberry Song" and "Rhymes".

*'''''Bridge on the River Wye'' ([[Parlophone]], 1962)'''
A 1962 comedy LP with Milligan and Sellers as well as [[Peter Cook]] and [[Jonathan Miller]]. A spoof of the film ''[[The Bridge on the River Kwai]]'', it was originally recorded under that name. However, the film company threatened legal action if the name was used. Thus some clever editing of the recording by future Beatles producer [[George Martin]] removed the ''K'' every time the word ''Kwai'' was uttered, creating ''[[Bridge on the River Wye]]''. The LP is based on ''The Goon Show''{{'}}s ''African Incident'' (30 December 1957),<ref name=Spike&Co/><sup>:183</sup> which featured Sellers' vocal impersonation of [[Alec Guinness]]. Lewis' (1995, pp.&nbsp;205–206) gives a good account of this background.<ref name="Life&DeathofSellers"/>

*'''''How to Win an Election'' (1964)'''
In 1964, Milligan, Secombe and Sellers lent their voices to a comedy LP, ''How to Win an Election (or Not Lose by Much)'', which was written by [[Leslie Bricusse]]. It was not exactly a Goons reunion, because Sellers was in Hollywood and had to record his lines separately. The album was reissued on CD in 1997.
