"Yorkshire’s biggest bastard" Frankie Monroe provides us with his soundtrack to Rotherham's working men's club/portal to hell, The Misty Moon.

Chaz & Dave – Snooker Loopy

These lads once came into the club. Dave tried to pay for a pint with some loose kebab meat in his pocket. Good song! 

The Clash – Straight to Hell

If you open the wrong door at The Misty Moon, this is where you’re going! 

Bob Freedman & Orchestra Music – One Mint Julep  

Why not get an aphrodisiac chaser after your lager.  This comes from from a fantastic compilation 1970s stripper music called Music to Strip By. It's sure to get anyone hot under the collar!

The Cramps – Goo Goo Muck 

You’ll find a hearty pile of goo goo muck under every ashtray at the Misty Moon, that's a guarantee! I like these creepy lads. 

SUCKLE – Hollow Legs 

I like the singer, handsome chap!! 

Madness (ft. Ian Dury) – Drip Fed Fred

This song was originally written about myself. But when I couldn't appear on Top of The Pops due to a restraining order from Noel Edmonds, they quickly removed me from the track. 

Shirley Bassey – This is My Life 

Another song I was referenced in, but only on the Japanese extended cut. Rumours are me and Shirl were lovers, I won't confirm or deny this, but I will confirm that yes we were. 

Frank Sinatra – Strangers in The Night 

Frank Sinatra once said ‘Frankie put down the knife, let's talk about this’. Real bastard that man, but a decent singer!
