"Yakety Sax" is a pop novelty instrumental jointly composed by James Q. "Spider" Rich and Boots Randolph.Saxophonist Randolph popularized the selection in his 1963 recording, which reached number 35 on the rock charts.UK comedian Benny Hill later made it more widely known as the closing theme music of The Benny Hill Show. The piece is considered Randolph's signature song.
The selection includes pieces of assorted fiddle tunes and was originally composed by Rich for a performance at a venue called The Armory in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Two bars of Entrance of the Gladiators and The Girl I Left Behind are also worked into it.
Randolph's take on the piece was inspired by a sax solo in the Leiber and Stoller song Yakety Yak, recorded in 1958 by the Coasters.The tunes are similar, and both feature the yakety sax sound. Randolph first recorded Yakety Sax that year for RCA Victor, but it did not become a hit till he re-recorded it for Monument Records in 1963; this version reached number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Benny Hill made this a household classic, at home and abroad.

When talent was a flood in Nashville!

[@matheuschristian8199]

Sou do Brasil e para mim Boots é um grande músico, e uma inspiração, aqui no Brasil temos Fábio lima no violão, atualmente o melhor músico do país, vale a pena assistir

[@ruckanitepreacher5618]

Boots has been my hero since the late 60s. Been playin the sax for 48 years but not like ol'Boots! Floyd Crammer is from my county in Arkansas (Union).

As a pianist there's none better than Floyd Cramer.

Nie już co lepsze,ta muzyka czy muzycy ją wykonujący.👍

[@antonislavdas1223]

Elvis Presley had these two musicians on stage in Hawaii in 1961 in his live performance … increddible players

[@1337Jokerman]

Boots Randolph and Floyd Cramer - yes. Chet Atkins - no. In fact, Randolph and Cramer played on nearly all of his studio recordings in the 60s. Both were part of the A-Team, a group of some of the best studio musicians in the world.

[@sandramarshall518]

@@1337Jokerman All these years later, I would still call them the 'best musicians in the world' - no egos, they respected each other and they enjoyed playing together, totally different from the so called 'musicians' of today - which is why most of their music is rubbish.

[@karilehman9882]

​@@sandramarshall518 there are still a lot of great studio musicians, but they rarely get any public recognition.

[@sandramarshall518]

@@karilehman9882 Maybe because I am old fashioned and I have always loved country music, I enjoy the piano playing of Floyd Cramer, and enjoy watching the video clips of Floyd, Boots, and Chet.

KZbin has also posted a terrific version of this song performed by the late Judy Carne.

[@timwalcott6268]

After playing a mandolin for 7 years as kid , I often wonder how it would have turned out had I enjoyed playing . I was told I was good but I thought differently. Oh well.
