Just wanted to say that I too learned of Chap-Hop from Hogman's podcast. I am firmly in the camp of Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer.

The dancers in the gif at the top of the page are eerily in time with the bed music.
  11:57am Robert:

That GIF is from before there was common use of the foaming agents now used in bubble baths, and instead they used regular soap water and aerated it from below. In one case for a play they used helium.

And happy birthday, Ken. I'm streaming the audio on Frankenputer, which can't handle the strain of the animated GIFs (shuts down), and looking at this page on Vril, whose sound card doesn't work.
