That sounds like "Nineteen" by Paul Hardcastle. It came out in 1985, which was 19 years ago.

You might mean the parody of the Paul Hardcastle song. I think it was by British impressionist Rory Bremner. I think it came out quite soon afterwards.
It was about the "bodyline" tour of Australia (I think). And the 19 bit was the batting average. He did impressions of all the famous cricket commentators.

That's the one, karen...apparently, Hardcastle gave it his blessing...

19 could also have been the actual innings total of the England squad around that time, seeing as we were getting walloped by almost everyone...!!
The opposition that caused the most damage at the time was the West Indies...how times change, eh?!!

Or what about the "Stutter Rap (No Sleep Till Bedtime)" by Morris Minor and the Majors:-
Well, no-one's ever seen what I mean
From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
We've all been caught in a mouth trap
So join with us in the st-st-st-st-stutter rap

Y--eee--ee-sss...we'd better take cover...!!
Anyway, as this thread has slipped on to Morris Minor & The Majors - I thought now would be as good a time as any to resurrect this little gem from yesteryear...
Now, who ever said the BBC shows enough crap these days - they were doing it even then...!!
And shame on Una Stubbs for getting involved...!!

That's it. I knew it was 'someone' if you see what I mean. I think I remember him mentioning it in "Round Ireland with a Fridge".

Ah but this series only lasted 6 episodes. If it were on today it would be onto it's third series by now!
And shame on Una Stubbs for getting involved...!!

That is the one yes. It reached the UK top 40 just 1 month after Hardcastle's original hit #1 :o
