Written by Tim and Judith Power, this song explores the idea of 'conkers'. This was a playground game played in many schools three or four decades ago. The game is a contest between two players who each have a conker (horsechestnut) on a string. The song depicts the ideas behind this game: a battle or fight, finding the 'right' conker that will be tough enough to survive, learning the rules of the game, having fun with your friends.

The song is written in two parts with a third descant part as an option for verse 3 and the ending. It uses irregular time patterns that are thrown in to give a feeling of uncertainty - a bit like the game itself - will my conker survive the battle? This was an autumn craze that children (and adults) were mad about or Bonker About Conkers.
