Ivor Biggun & The Red Nosed Reindeers – The Artist/s

Robert “Doc” Cox (born 1946), also known as Ivor Biggun, is a British musician and former television journalist. He is known for his appearances on the BBC TV programme That’s Life! from 1982 to 1992 and for four albums of humorous, smutty songs. Currently resident in Suffolk, he is active in several pub bands, including the Trembling Wheelbarrows. Under the Biggun name, Cox fronts a humorous band that is sometimes billed simply as “Ivor Biggun”, or variously “Ivor Biggun and the Red-nosed Burglars” or “Ivor Biggun and the Left-handed Wankers”, also “Ivor’s Jivers” (less rude), or Ivor Biggun’s Vulgar Band. He specialises in double entendre-laden smutty songs. As an artist he has released four albums of bawdy songs (and recorded with Judge Dread and David “Screaming Lord” Sutch), the most recent being 2005’s Handling Swollen Goods. 

The Winker’s Song (Misprint) – The Song

“The Winkers Song” is a 1978 novelty single by Ivor Biggun. Johnny Rotten selected “The Winker’s Song (Misprint)” as his single of the week in 1978 when he was a guest reviewer for New Musical Express. The single sold well, reaching number 22 in the UK Singles Chart thanks to Rotten’s support. However, it was banned by nearly all radio stations due to its explicit lyrics. 

The Well Endowed Man – The Shape

Modelled into a silhouette of a man with a large appendage as inspired by the songs lyrics which are full of double entendres.

A double entendre [note is a figure of speech or a particular way of wording that is devised to have a double meaning, one of which is typically obvious, and the other often conveys a message that would be too socially unacceptable, or offensive to state directly. A double entendre may exploit puns or word play to convey the second meaning. Double entendres generally rely on multiple meanings of words, or different interpretations of the same primary meaning. They often exploit ambiguity and may be used to introduce it deliberately in a text. Sometimes a homophone can be used as a pun. When three or more meanings have been constructed, this is known as a “triple entendre”, etc.
