Reminds me of a more deadpan Squeeze. Cool song.

I'm surprised that I never heard this before. Did this make it to the US charts?

Beautiful

Beautiful!

I however thought it was genius!

Just played this to my French partner who has informed me that Serge Gainsbourg is turning in his grave.

2 of how greats together fabulous

Oh brilliant! I love Frankie Howerd!! This is very funny & very British too, exactly the impression the French have of the English as lovers!! Mick Shepherd

My family lived in London for a few years starting in 1970 to 1975. These were the best years possible to live in London. All those wonderful comedians both on the telly and on stage will never be forgotten. Thanks to videos, they will continue to live on. I go back to London still today, but will never see or hear from the likes of those of yesteryear.

R.I.P. Frankie Howerd (1917-1992) and June Whitefield (1925-2018)

Oh wow, that's so cheeky :D

Golf, golf, golf.

Just read that June has gone. Farewell luv and thanks for all the laffs

Serge Gainsbourg sued Frankie for £1,000,000 and won.

RIP June :-(

So farewell, June - you were pure dead brilliant

Make it last forever !

I remember this: so goddamned wonderful! Makes me laugh everytime!!

"I want to look at you" "Don't be disgusting"

Brexit?

I'm crackling up here. Check out Victoria Woods song with similar theme.Very English very funny!

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

It's not Friday, isn't it??? Extraordinary!! lol

Excellent harmonies ! Does anyone know where I can find the sheet music for this Hymn?

Absolutely Fabulous.

I first saw Frankie Howerd when I was 15 years old and living in Berengaria Village, Limassol, Cyprus. He walked past our house on Jacaranda Drive before performing his show that evening. I have always regretted not having the courage to go up and speak to him, and inviting him in for a cup of tea.

Anybody know who might have sung the origional 1972 version, it might have been a singing priest but i'm not at all sure

This is hysterical.

In my opinion, the BBC still haven't learnt to grasp a sense of humour.

It's not Friday is it!? Bahaha!!

I remember playing this on my BBC Radio Oxford show back in '71. Very, very, very funny! And guess what? I was told off for playing it by the head newscaster on duty - the late Gordon Kitchen. "Peanutz, this is a family show and we don't want any of that!!!!!". Amazing. Recently on Radio1, I heard the 'F' word in a song - - during the daytime!!! Jeeeezzz, how standards have dropped at the Beeb. Thank you for giving me another chuckle again, and for uploading! John "Peanutz" Koenig

Let's get comfy

this was ALKSO banned by the BBC, like the original. "look at the size of that hole" was apparently the line that really sealed it's fate. In those days, the beeb had no sense of humour.

who's the voice of Arthur?

Funny, funny, funny!!!! Thank you so much! I guess it helps that I remember the song well and first saw Frankie Howerd about 45 years ago!

Love it... and I never knew it was June Whitfiled ( Saffy's nanna in Ad Fab, with the glorious Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley) 'singing' the ooh's and ahh's... Brilliant... Funny and a teenie bit naughty.....tee hee :0)x

pressgangers. No. He's makig the English joke of pretending that she's just a bit ob=verexcited, and a cup of cocoa will settle her for sleep, as it does for many Brits. very funny this. Never heard it before - but I wasn't listening to the radio at the time.

It's good, but faster would be really be better

liar!!!!!! that was MY freshman high school orchestra! SEVIE

Wow they played it soo slowly!!! Its supposed to be faster. My freshman high school orchestra is playing like twive as fast as that!
