zig & zag - never mind the zogabongs

Hoochiemama

Does anyone know anywhere i can get this album???

Owen

I used to have this on tape, and listened to it religiously. It'll be tough to get!

"My beeeee-ly button fluff collection"

seamus

I have it on tape somewhere, and I also managed to get it on MP3. Can't remember where.

L1011

Also have it on tape. I think nearly everyone aged 20-25 does, really...

I think I've a second one too, can't remember what it was called?

syklops

while i dont condone piracy, if you really cant buy an album, there is always bittorrent:

<snip>

Otherwise maybe contact RTE and see if they could get you a copy? Or write to the podge and rodge show?

Ponster

It's been mentioned several times in the Retro forum I believe...

seamus

syklops, I've removed your BT link for the moment. The album isn't available to buy, but I'd like clarification from the copyright holder (RTE I assume) before telling people how to get it for free...

And older. It came out in 1991 so 20-year-olds are probably too young to have a copy.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

people.. someone mentioned a way to get it

the link was removed, but a little bit of searching would not go amiss

*pops on a tijuana gypsy told my personal stereo*

and don't bother pm'ing me asking for the link, I won't give it. If you can't use the internet by now, you don't get my sympathy.

I'm sure Double Z enterprises still have an office in Rathmines. They were in a little side street just up from the old cinema on Rathmines Rd.
Try e-mailing info@dze.ie. They will sort you out.

I listened to the album in full after finding this thread. I hadn't listened to it in years. what an album with classic Dustin

wil

On CD right beside my Dustin Unplucked from now defunct s/h record shop in Camden St.
and still supporting the AntiShouting At Cutlery Association.
Think I might have the Nothing to do with Toast vid as well.
Ah the good old days when they could still get fined for mentioning a blowjob on the Den

The Bollox

I used to have Zig & Zag's Chrsitmas rap. it was a single track on both sides of the tape and iirc I listened to it until the tape became useless

I really wish I could listen to it again

Zapho

I had that as well, it was fantastic!

I presume one would still be slapped with a fine if they mentioned "blowjob" on a children's programme...

TheDriver

Wouldnt surprise me, werent the Podge and Rodge puppets featured on the Toy Show and what do they say.

As for the Den, heres a few memorable moments.

The show goes out live, as was demonstrated all too well in 1990 when the adbreak ended early, with the shot coming back to Zig and Zag punting a Bosco puppet around and the puppeteers shouting "Bosco is a bollox". However, Ray D'Arcy claims this never happened. On another occasion, a particularly dim-witted child was doing a phone quiz and could not answer a question despite being directly told the answer after several hints. Zag finally shouted "Ah, for f$$k's sake!" On another occasion, an adbreak cut in when Ray was halfway through talking about an item. When the adbreak ended, he complained about how irritating commercial breaks can be, and that he wasn't told that break was coming.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Den_(television)

Dustin has come out with plenty even embarassing one female guest off the Den when he said she was down under under Rays desk sucking on something during the break.to which she turned beetroot and exited.

"Whats the sound a pig makes" to which dustin replied "can you step out of the car please" end result den taken off air for a week.

Does anyone remember the 3 minute slot the Zed Brothers had on RTE radio every morning - a story proven by the words of famous songs - eg - How Paul Simons girlfriend who after a night out on the beer went home, sat on the end of the bed hairbrush in hand and passed noxious bodily gasses - cue Graceland excerpt "As if I never noticed the way she brushed her hair and farted"

Z&Z best joke
Zig - Did you hear Danial O'Donnell got a girl in trouble.
Zag - No way.
Zig - yes, he told her mother she smoked.

The original and the zest

Loads of good Z+Z moments on euchoob:D

So did anyone get a reply from their email. I dont think the Wynnfield Rd address is used, think theres a restaurant or something there now

yujimbo

Hey check ebay for this cd, i got it about a month ago reasonably cheap and there is another one on the site just now!

Scarinae

?? This thread is a year and a half old!

Slaygal

I rooted out my cassette copy of Never mind the Zogabongs It always makes me smile
The dvd Best bits from Back Den has the videos for Xmas No 1. Tijuana Gypsy and ZigZaggin in the extras/features.

syklops

Just been watching some of the den on you tube and i had be in tears laughing at it.

Favourite bits were Dustin complaining about the rubbish RTE puts on. And when Zig went "You shouldnt be whistling at girls, Dustin" and Duston goes "Why not?" and Zig goes, "Because its sexist".

I dont know what it is about that statement but I nearly wet myself.

Emma Ledden was hot. What ever happened to her?

Slaygal

If I remember correctly Ms Ledden went over to the UK to work for MTV for a while but not sure what happened to her after that.

Mhmm...weetabix

I do not remember her being THIS hot :eek:

Blimey!

Me neither. I always had a small crush on her but as for that picture? Wow! I suppose now I still do.

This is what she is doing now:

Might sign up for a course myself.

You start to feel very old when the 20 year old you fancied when you were a sprog now runs her own consultancy company.

Mhmm...weetabix

There's a whole website with hot pictures of her, awesome

Nothing like a bit of stalking to impress the wimminz, they love it really!
