Lieutenant Pigeon was a British novelty pop group formed in Coventry in the early 1970s by Rob Woodward and Nigel Fletcher, joined by Hilda Woodward—Rob’s mother—on piano. Blending a honky-tonk sound with military-style rhythms and playful melodies, they scored a UK No. 1 hit in 1972 with “Mouldy Old Dough.” Their quirky charm and unconventional lineup made them a distinctive presence in pop history, remembered for their eccentric energy and timeless sense of fun.
