Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band
The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (også kendt som The Bonzo Dog Band) er en britisk musikgruppe, der blev dannet af en gruppe britiske kunstskole-elever i 1960'erne.[1] De kombinerer elementer fra varieté, traditionel jazz og psykedelisk pop med surrealistisk humor og avantgarde-kunst. Gruppen blev for alvor kendt i 1968 via deres medvirken i ITV komedieshow Do Not Adjust Your Set.
