    I remember an advert for either Beecham's or Lemsip, featuring lemons (with eyes, legs &c) dancing around (singing-in-the-rain style) and laughing like nobody's business. One of the lemons was dressed as a police man.

    laughing-singing: ahahahahahahahahahaha ooohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoo - heeheehehehehehehehehehe hahahahahhahahahahaha

    I can't remember whether it was for Lemsip or for Beechams - can you?

    It was for Lemsip. The tune used in the advert is called "The Laughing Policeman" and was written in the 1920s by Charles Penrose.
