The novelty single Mouldy Old Dough became an unexpected British number one hit in 1972. It was recorded by Lieutenant Pigeon - essentially Rob Woodward and his mum Hilda, plus drum and bass - in the front room of 25 Kingsway, Stoke, Coventry. A blue plaque on the house, courtesy of the Coventry Music Museum https://www.covmm.co.uk/2020/07/07/lieutenant-pigeon/ , records the fact. My mother was shocked to hear this 'song' on the radio - no words, except a man groaning the words 'mouldy old dough'. As her mother used to say, "People were easily amused in those days."
