This is a
London
favourite, a classic piece of
graffiti
:
Ken Dodd
's Dad's Dog's Dead
which has ended up as a
band name
, a web site name, plastered on tshirts, and all. It looks best on the wall, though, in gloriously plain white capital letters, stretched long and eating your brain, rattling around like a
tongue twister
for hours, echoing
the rhythm of your walking
pace.
Ken Dodd
may be no one's favourite person. When the
taxman
caught up with him, no one felt sympathy. Dentists loathe him.
The Diddy Men
scared the hell out of all small children. But, there's something oddly pathetic about the death of his dad's dog, even if it is just a fiction of alliterative delight.
I once almost rented a flat, just because I would have to walk past this graffiti every morning on the way to work.

You can see the (original?) "
Ken Dodd
's
Dad
's
Dog
's
Dead
!" on
White Hart Lane
, near the stadium. It looks like it had been repainted. This is, to my knowledge, the only piece of "
clever
" 1970s
graffiti
that can actually be proved to exist.
Nigel Rees
used to get listeners to send in
funny graffiti
on some
Radio 4
programme (
Quote Unquote
, etc.) in the 1970s and 80s, nearly all of which was obviously
made up
. By him.
