oh I do like to be beside the seaside
I always thought the ending voice said "Mr Blue Sky-iii", but was watching a TOTP2 type program on BBC2 and it's actually "Please turn me over", it's the last song on one side of the vinyl LP

I do the robot voice on stage and I sing Mr Blue Sky, I've got to look into this now.
 
It says ‘please turn me over’ as it was the last song on the album side 1/A and it was added as a bit of a joke to remind the listener to turn the record over.
 
This is one of those pub quiz sort of things where if you know, you know and if you don't know, you're surprised when you hear it.

I know, I've known for years but I remember when I didn't know and I was surprised when I found out.

Another good one like this is the "National animal for Scotland". It's a Unicorn.
 
Didn't know, too

given the discussion on our hosting of eurovsion - I heard the space man junk we submitted, which is rather a rip off of wild west hero,
netflix must be searching back catalogues now for additional songs to introduce to GenZ.
did they use the Lloyds bank horse in that song.
