Afraid I don't own a copy, but this might help:
The HeeBeeGeeBees were a comedy group put together by Angus Deayton, Philip
Pope and Michael Fenton-Stevens, of the radio show Radio Active (and later
the TV show KYTV).
Their albums are unavailable, but many of the songs were originally done on
RadioActive, which was a comedy sketch show (I remember the Caravan Of Love
parody very well from listening as a kid to the show - "I'm your
brother/you're my sister/That makes what we're doing illegal"), and there
are episodes of that show available on cassette, because Deayton later went
on to be a pretty major TV star over here, so you might be able to get a
couple of tracks from there.
The single from the album, "Meaningless Songs In Very High Voices" was quite
a big hit over here.
