Encyclopedia : A : AG : AGP : Ag Pleez Deddy

Ag Pleez Deddy is a classic South African comedy song from the 1960s by Jeremy Taylor. Sung with a strong accent, it is full of references to places, brands, and entertainment popular among working-class white South Africans.

Ag pleez Deddy won't you take us off to Durban

It's only eight hours in the Chevro-lay...

With the chorus starting:

Popcorn, chewing gum, peanuts an' bubble gum

Ice cream, candy floss an' Eskimo Pie...

The single sold more copies in South Africa than any of Elvis Presley's.
