Thanks Bill
I must renew those Toytown links. I don't have the time to do much more to the site though.
As for the poll...you've only named 2 songs as far as I can see. Can you choose 3 more to make up your top 5 please?
Cheers

>I loved the Toytown rules, which are a fine way to select this sort of music▪          There must be a prevailing sense of humour. No message songs or anything overly earnest.  ▪          Children’s stories, children’s voices or songs about children (especially scared children) were bound to get in.▪          Songs about toys, toy lands, toy towns and trains are right in.▪          Songs with the word “little” in the title got very serious consideration.▪          Cookies and other confections mentioned in songs pleased us very much▪          Animals are good Toytown subjects especially if they are doing something funny (like hanging around in baskets or eating people).▪          Songs about people qualify especially if the people in question are somewhat out of touch with reality, have quaint jobs or are someone’s Auntie.▪          Concept albums and
 their creators (such as the Small Faces) seem to fit other genres better so we left them off this list.▪          Lastly, the Beatles and Pink Floyd were disqualified. We recognize that both Paul McCartney and Syd Barrett are two of the founding fathers of Toytown but including them in our list seemed too obvious. A fne sub genre of psychedelia.For the poll, I always like Traffic's "Hole in my Shoe" with wahat Peel called "that dreadful child"Or "Blue Jay Way" by the BeatlesOur esteemed member David Quantick, did an ecxellent radio show of this , so look out for that on 6 Music
