Theme: Food: Lonnie Donegan "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour (On the Bedpost Overnight)"

I like food, you like food, let's talk about food.



Lonnie Donegan, also known as the 'King of Skiffle', is one of the most influential English artists of the 1950s. Skiffle, a type of music with jazz, country, folk, and blues influences, is usually performed with homemade instruments, making it easy for people to form their own skiffle bands. After Lonnie Donegan shot to stardom in the mid 50s, over 50,000 skiffle groups were formed in Britain.

Here is one of Donegan's most famous songs: "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose its Flavour (On the Bedpost Overnight)?" (1958)
