Bill Bailey Performing at The Royal Variety Performance 2012 (Reaction)

[@robertobrien5709]

An exceptional piece of music from Bill is his version on the Hokey Cokey rendered in the style of the Legendary band Kraftwerk.

[@KB-uu4fy]

Bill Bailey is a Musical genius

[@TheCornishCockney]

Bill Bailey is yet another British national treasure. I love his humour,and him being multi talented just adds to his genius. Check out his U2 riff origins,you’ll love it.

[@keithwatkins7908]

A fantastic comedian who brought humor to music. An extremely talented man.

[@chrissedaka8141]

Or music to humour? :)

[@mothmagic1]

@@chrissedaka8141 I was just thinking that myself.

[@timglennon6814]

Bill Bailey can play nearly every musical instrument in the world.

[@georgemorley5926]

From Australia , love your work , Peace from down under.

[@drdassler]

He's an exceptional talent. Right from his earliest stuff he's brilliant.

[@corringhamdepot4434]

The Black Books episode where Bill plays the piano without being seen to play the piano is a classic. When Bernard is trying to fake being a pianist. I watched the East Enders soap when it first came out, then decided I had enough to be depressed about. Without a daily dose of fictional disasters as well.

Bill is a national treasure.......

[@mothmagic1]

I never get fed up with Bill's music/humour combination so I definitely won't get fed up watching the reaction of others to his performances.

[@bradlucy]

Any recommendations?

[@martindunstan8043]

Hey there Mr and Mrs Entertainment 😂👍 Bill Bailey is such a talented man, acting, comedy, music such a pleasure to watch great reaction cheers✌️🍻

[@johnty80-wj3ek]

fantastic

[@klebbe1]

Bill is a genius when it comes to music, one of my favorites is his jab at U2s music style. =)

[@felixthecat02]

I love Bill Bailey, both brilliant comedian and remarkable musician. His 'Belgium Jazz' version of the Dr. Who theme and 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' done as death metal are particularly funny. Keep up the great posts!

[@petermizon4344]

HES A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER TOO 😊

[@Tommy-zk4sz]

love bill

[@colingregory7464]

Check out Les Dawson, not only was he an outstandingly good bad piano player but he also "invented" the Mother-In-Law joke

[@colinhawes1907]

I would watch him all day. What a master he is... and funny.

[@bhurzumii4315]

You MUST hear "Love Song" from Bill's "Part Troll" show!

[@22seanmurphy]

Hi guys bill Bailey is such a great comedian and yes he also can play any instruments and a very clever person 🍻🙏

[@robertmarriott6767]

Bill is a national treasure

[@seanbarker4610]

You can't call yourself a janitor if you haven't played a Harmonica with a Vaccuum cleaner!

[@huaysai]

Start watching a Bill Bailey clip and you know can relax - a good time is certain to come along!

[@neilrendell5630]

I especially love Bill Bailey's dubstep rendition of the Downtown Abbey theme song

[@jasonleemamanddad]

funny watching this bill bailey at 6.42 😂😂🍺🍺👍

[@ManxAndy]

I don’t think there’s a musical instrument that bill cannot play, and on top of that he is an extremely funny comedian and writer…….👍🇮🇲💪😜

[@lisagreenhalgh1685]

A musical genius and funny to boot!😁

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

saw him live, he called me "an actual giant twat" (during the interval i went to the loo, he saw me, and when the show started again he pointed me out and said that, he then asked if i could kindly brush the clouds away so it wouldnt rain after the show for context im 7'7"

[@Drescher1984]

I became a fan of his around the time his tour was called Part Troll

[@clairdavies9358]

The songs he performs on his live show are so funny.i recommend his stand up called part troll

[@robertmarriott6767]

That match of the day theme was dreamy 😍

[@helvete983]

Bill is incredibly talented. His version of Metallica's Enter Sandman on the horns is excellent too. He also does a segment called Every song sounds better in Heavy Metal, and covers nursery rhymes as Metal songs.

[@DaStig]

Man you should see his break down of the bbc news theme tune, into a rave and his reggae dub take on downtown abbey.

[@kelvingrebert7315]

great opening. BB is a such a great entertainer

[@happilyeggs4627]

He also does Metallica, "Enter Sandman", on the parp horns. You should really look for the video of him doing, with the help of 3 of his buddies, a parody of Kraftwerk playing, "Do The Okey-Cokey". It is completely hilarious, sung in German.

[@bashab3098]

Great reactions today , happy Friday

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

My favourite British comedian. This concentrated on his more musical side, but he also does a lot of great stand-up (his variations on the traditional "three men walk into a bar" jokes are amazing). And yes, he does a lot of guitar stuff too - his "how U2 got their sound" is one guitar classic of his.

[@Alan_Clark]

I love his video "Major / Minor (We Are Most Amused and Amazed 2018)"!

[@lilbullet158]

bill bailey's story about meeting Paul McCartney in his 'Limboland' routine is Absolutely Hilarious.

[@martinarscott3524]

I bought tickets for my wife and son to see him a few years back, kicking myself for not getting myself one as well!

[@davidbordonaro1631]

Please , if you haven't yet , look up Victor Borge . he was so , so funny . a classical pianist and comedian . I think he'd be right up your alley .

[@0okamino]

The reaction is great and all, but that little Carly Simon rendition is deserving of a thumbs up all its own. 👍

[@lifeofdazz]

This guy has me crying laughing yo will love bill

[@donkfail1]

Bill Bailey is great. One favorite is his (honest and realistic) Love Song from the Part Troll tour. Maybe good for a reaction with something else? It's only 3m 52s long. Link for the lazy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z33Hm4mqfdaBrtU

[@jimisi7424]

Genius

[@JimboSRP]

One of the greatest musical comedians is Victor Borge in my opinion. All that came after, including Bill Bailey, owe him a debt. You should check him out when you get a chance.

[@bradlucy]

I remember seeing commercials for Victor Borge when I was a kid. 😁

[@hennywortman228]

Brad, Lucy, you've started with a verry nice Carly Simon song 🥰

[@danielmorecroft4846]

You need to check him out playing elvis on cowbells it's brilliant

[@lawlini1979]

He does a very good enter sandman on the... Horns, i suppose.

[@gastrickbunsen1957]

I love music based comedy. You should check out Tim Vine's "My Marvelous Metronome" Keep up the good work you two.

[@AndyNightingale]

Try Bill Bailey with Robin Williams at another Royal Variety Performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5SmgYx5oNGam7M

[@denispowell7134]

Bill Bailey wasn't the first to have a "hornchestra". Stanelli, a British Music Hall artist, was well known and even appeared in movies and made records. You'll find one video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4S3mZJriZ2ejLs

[@thoso1973]

He also did a cover of Metallica playing those horns. 😄

[@jasonleemamanddad]

🤣😂🤣horn vibes 🤣🙏👍

[@bradlucy]

👩‍🦰- 🤣🤣

[@PHDarren]

Not forgetting his Metallica tribute - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2nbf6tubM2FmLc

[@Boppa1260]

Its insane. 👍🏻

[@nickwalters5380]

Also, everything is better in the style of heavy metal, twinkle twinkle little star being a highlight

[@bradlucy]

We actually used that in one of our intros months ago. I can't remember which video lol.

[@ltsecomedy2985]

Hi Brad & Lucy, please consider reacting to (Charlie Drake 1812 Overture) it won an award back in 1967. You will understand why when you see it. Charlie was a popular British comedian on tv & in films in the `60`s & `70`s. He played the Baron in Sinderella, the panto with Jim Davidson that you reacted to.

[@shaun-hoppy]

I once fell off a cliff in fog on a windy day in icy conditions, I broke my eye orbit, cheekbone, and nose and bust my knee, moral of the story is you can learn alot from people that don't know much as well, I play vinyl records up cliff/craggs, moors and under ground in a 400 year old mine for videos on music sites

[@shaynefrancis5318]

He can do enter sandman by Metallica on those horns

[@sam04019491]

You should check out “Prejudice” by Tim Minchin.

[@dougoneill7266]

You might, if you have not already, enjoy Peter Kay on Shovel.

Here's another Bill Bailey kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSogn56Z86trrs

[@gbulmer]

Bill is a _remarkable_ combination of extremely talented musician and stand-up comedian. In the same league as 'Weird' Al Yankovic or Tim Minchin. All of his musical appearances in 'Dictionary Corner' on "8 out of 10 cats does countdown"_ (8oo10cdc) are funny or very impressive. His "Old MacDonald" was from that show. I don't think you've reacted to any of these: _Bill Bailey's message to Metallica_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2nbf6tubM2FmLc (only 1m:16s) _Bill Bailey - Love Song - Part Troll_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z33Hm4mqfdaBrtU (3m:52s) Very "theatrical" lyrics. _Bill Bailey's Love Ballad For Adele | 8oo10cdc_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIu9p2l6ac2jgZo (4m:6s but the song starts at 2m:16s) _Bill Bailey's Masterpiece_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqWmgYujo9qJbNU (5m:19s) is fun. Watch out for (then) Prince Charles reaction Edit: for music, I enjoy: _Bill Bailey - Duelling Sitars - Tinselworm_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYSlpphnedp2r8U (4m) There isn't actually a sitar on stage, Bill's playing a weird "electric sitar" guitar (I guess like the one on Steely Dan's song "Do It Again") and Soumik Datta is playing a Sarod. Best Wishes. ☮

[@kimgrattage6049]

Hi! Brad and Lucy. Hope you are both well and had a great Christmas and NYE? x
