The Goon Show was a British radio comedy programme, originally produced and broadcast by the BBC Home Service from 1951 to 1960, with occasional repeats on the BBC Light Programme. The first series, broadcast between May and September 1951, was titled Crazy People; all subsequent series had the title The Goon Show, a title inspired, according to Milligan, by a Popeye character.
The show's chief creator and main writer was Spike Milligan. The scripts mixed ludicrous plots with surreal humour, puns, catchphrases and an array of bizarre sound effects. Some of the later episodes feature electronic effects devised by the then-fledgling BBC Radiophonic Workshop, many of which were reused by other shows for decades afterwards. Many elements of the show satirised contemporary life in Britain, parodying aspects of show business, commerce, industry, art, politics, diplomacy, the police, the military, education, class structure, literature and film.
The show was released internationally through the BBC Transcription Services (TS). It was heard regularly from the 1950s in Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, India and Canada, although these TS versions were frequently edited to avoid controversial subjects.NBC began broadcasting the programme on its radio network from the mid-1950s. The programme exercised a considerable influence on the subsequent development of British and American comedy and popular culture. It was cited as a major influence by the Beatles,Monty Python (especially Cleese, Chapman, Palin and Jones, less so for Eric Idle) and the American comedy team The Firesign Theatre.

My darling does what she likes
My love likes what she likes
Now she's playing on the beach
Now she's in the motel bed with me
She's got her feet firmly on the ground
She's got her hands raised high
She's got her hair in the air
And her eyes up there
The clearest person that I know
Arms and mouth that bring me home
But enough said of me
I want to talk about her now
Now she's sleeping
Now she's crying
Now she's moaning out loud
Now she is remembering
She gives it all away for free
And I give it back evenly
When she learns to ask for more
Her heart will then explode
Now she's remembering
Now she's feeling
It is not dark it is not light
