A risqué song about Hitler was cut from the UK cinema version in order for the film to receive an 'A' (PG) certificate. All later releases were restored and uncut.
Actor Danny La Rue, who plays the main character, was in real life the most famous female impersonator in British theater.
The lyrics to the rude song are thus:
Hitler has only got one ball. Göring has two, but very small Himmler has something sim'lar, But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.
The words originate from World War II and are usually sung to the tune known as Colonel Bogey, but curiously are sung here to an original tune.

22 Acacia Avenue is also an Iron Maiden song from the Number of the Beast album, and a "sequel" to the song Charlotte the Harlot from their first album.
