Spit the Dog
VIDEO CLIP:
RealMedia: Spit and Bob perform


Spit the Dog puppets

Comedian Bob Carolgees has a lot to answer for.

Not only did he make popular a particularly thick and bristly form of moustache, but he also gave the world Spit the punk dog.

Spit would sit on Bob's arm and - well - spit. Kids tried to get their pets to do likewise but to no avail.

So the toy makers answered their prayers and produced warehouses full of Spit puppets. Joy was uncontained.
