Toy Dolls

The Toy Dolls are an English punk rock band formed in 1979, famous for their energetic cover of "Nellie the Elephant," their only UK hit. The band stands out for their playful and humorous approach to punk, with songs like "Yul Brynner Was a Skinhead," "My Girlfriend's Dad's a Vicar," and frequent use of witty alliteration in song titles. Their albums almost always feature fast-paced punk covers of classics and parodies of popular hits, often kicking off with catchy intros and closing with memorable outros. Known for their signature kazoos and cartoonish rectangular sunglasses, the Toy Dolls have made fun and liveliness a trademark of both their music and image.
