Stack Waddy

[guitar playing] You're listening to a podcast from The Word.

David Hepworth, I have a Stack Waddy quiz for you.

Goody, goody.

And those, uh, those recent listeners who may not be fully averse to what a Stack Waddy quiz is, it was based on...

Well, we did it years ago, didn't we? 'Cause there was a group called Stack Waddy-

Yes

... on the John Peel [laughs] Dandelion label.

And the quiz was simply, are these real band names or not? And in case of Stack-

We're recording, Mark.

We are recording, and I have a Stackwaddy for you, Dave.

Good.

Uh, fresh off the press- Good ... because I was, 20 minutes ago, I was just reading a thing about Rick Wakeman- [laughs] ... playing the piano to rescued caged bears.

And the last one is the drummer of The Damned has a critically endangered rock-dwelling rat named after him, discovered in the high rocky hills of southern India, called Elvira scabiosis.

Well, well, well.

At this point I should re- re- remind or point out to anybody who's tuning into this podcast for the very first time what the Stackwaddy game is all about.

It all started when we used to make jokes about a, a long-defunct '70s boogie band called Stackwaddy, who made two albums, one of which was called, Mark? It was called Bugger Off.
