Better Than Half A Penny

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellow,

My memory can be a trial. 

I cannot remember important things like where the eff I left my sunglasses or the capital of Lithuania but as soon as I started posting this [keyword] PICTURE of [keyword] CRASH then the LLM* in my head went scuttling off and planted this earworm in my mind:

CRASH!
BANG!
WALLERP!
WOT A PICTURE!
WOT A PICTURE!
WHAT A PHOTO-GRARF!
POOR OLD SOUL!
BLIMEY WOT A JOKE!
HAT BLOWN ORF IN A CLOUD A' SMOKE!
CLAP HANDS! STAMP YER FEET! 
BANGIN' ON A BIG BASS DRUM! (boom boom)
WOT A PICTURE! WOT A PICTURE!
RUM-TIDDLY-UM-PUM-PUM-PUM-PUM!
STICK IN IN YER FAMILY AL-BUM!

Like. Literally. This song is running on REPEAT in my head right now. I am being PLAGUED with visions of Tommy Steele.  

And all because I saw the musical "Half a Sixpence" on telly FIFTY EFFING YEARS AGO.

And on googling at it I now realise I've got the lyrics wrong and it is actually "FLASH Bang Wallop" not "CRASH Bang Wallop". 

Dear god.

Flash. They say... Flash Bang Wallop.... Flash....

Hmmmm....

AAAAHH-AAAAAAHHH!!
SAVIOUR OF THE UNIVERSE!!
FLASH! 
AAAAHH-AAAAAAHHH!!
HE'LL SAVE EVERY ONE OF US!!!

Help me. Please. Make it stop.
