They have enough of a remaining following to be parodied (warning, NSFW for language). A force down below which builds a certain pressure...

Followed immediately in the youtube line by "Have some Madeira, m'dear."

The Hippopotamus Song is standard bedtime fair in the GMT household.
"Mud, Mud, glorius mud/
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood/
So follow me, follow/
Down to the hollow/
And there let us wallow in glorius mud!"
But I am partically partial to "The Reluctant Cannibal", because it was the first Flanders and Swann song I ever heard, played at 33 1/3rpm on my grandfather's Hi-Fi in the the early 1970s when I was a wee lad and visiting on my own in Princeton. I went home with that LP: "At The Drop Of A Hat." The oddball sense of humor I have cultivated since then can be traced to this seminal influence.
