Toy Dolls "Dig That Groove Baby" (1983)

Dig That Groove Baby [debut]
release date: Mar. 1983
format digital
[album rate: 2,5 / 5]

Track highlight: 7. "Nellie the Elephant"
[ full album ]

Studio debut album by Toy Dolls. The band, which seemingly still exists in some form, was a strange project. The original line-up consisted of three members, Michael Algar (aka 'Olga', vocals, guitar), Phillip Dugdale ('Flip', bass), and Robert Kent ('Happy Bob', drums), and their style was a strange mix of primarily punk rock cloned with children's music and satire. The track "Nellie the Elephant" became their signature song. It's kinda fun and original, but also tedious in the long run.
