This starts a gag of The Goodies coming up with soon-to-be famous songs only to be pelted with produce. In the end they get pelted before they've even started singing.

A displeased crowd is throwing stuff at speakers and artists according to the RuleOfFunny. Eggs, lettuce and vegetables are generally favored, with tomatoes an all-time favorite. Originates from way back in the 19th century, when audiences and working-class theatergoers would often carry these things into the (very rowdy by our standards) theaters, and chuck them (or chairs and such) at bad performances. Look for an HonestJohn-type character to have a cart filled with said rotten vegetables for sale for this particular purpose. This is usually followed by a VaudevilleHook yanking the bad performer off-stage.
