1. Broken-Hearted Lovers' Stew
   Written and Performed by Benny Hill
   Recorded by: Benny Hill, on his album Benny Hill: Words & Music (1971)

   Recorded by: Benny Hill, on his album Benny Hill: Words & Music (1971)
   Notes: As with "Broken-Hearted Lovers' Stew," there is a verse on the recorded version that's not on the TV version.

   Notes: Differences abound in some of the lyrics between the TV and recorded versions, notably Ted tempting Sue with a Dundee cake on the TV version and a layer cake in the recorded version; Ernie meeting his maker by a stale meat pie on the TV version and a stale pork pie in the recorded version; and Ernie's age at death being 68 on the TV version and 52 in the recorded version. He made a video of this song after it hit the top of the British charts, for airing on the BBC's Top of the Pops; Benny, of course, played Ernie, and his co-stars were Jan Butlin (as the widow Sue) and Henry McGee (as Two-Ton Ted).

1. Flying South
