I don't recognise any of the songs, although I should as I'm a Crazy Gang fan. I see Tommy Handley broadcast the first one. He's good. If you can find "Time Flies" you might chuckle. He's a right chancer and sort of wide boy. ITMA from the radio is great fun and there is a movie version on you tube.

It's That Man Again [1941] Tommy Handley

Just to give you an idea how popular he was.
London Funeral of British Comedian Tommy Handley (1949)

The Crazy Gang, in O-kay For  Sound (1937) FULL FILM.

The 'Dance' sequence is truly astonishing. I believe they used to do that regularly on stage. Some vaudeville performers - Buster Keaton included- seemed to have rubber bodies. 

Like the Marx brothers they were originally a vaudeville act and at their best on stage.
Precusor to the Goons.

enjoy!
