Do Not Adjust Your Set: Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Hunting Tigers

[@a.jamesstretton3813]

Posh & Pissed. Glorious. When music was art and not just a money making commodity.

[@beatlecost]

I just love the way Viv starts singing the first lines....Great, amazing geezer!

[@Veaseify]

Do Not Adjust Your Set must have been the most advanced children's television programme ever...

[@beds139]

That's why adults rushed home from work to watch it.

[@colinu9209]

Python plus David Jason and Denise Coffey , on before 6 o’clock news , wanted to be captain fantastic as a kid 😊

[@thetheme2009]

First band I ever saw live, my parents took me to see them in the Bull Ring Shopping Centre Birmingham.

I was 17 when this happened, with equally devastating effects ...

Quite possibly my favorite Bonzo Dog song!

[@raycope2086]

I will always love this lot. Thanks ever so. I wish you rainbows.

Great song

I remember hearing this on early FM radio in the early '70s. Video: priceless!

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot! We're not a tiger. We're just, um..." "Why are you dressed as a tiger?" "Why. Oh, why? Er, it is a lovely day today". "Answer the question!"

[@alejo7365]

Such masterpiece

[@davidzasloff8797]

It's perfect that Viv forgets the line "How many tigers can you find with forks and serviettes?", he just goes on to "Don't care in what part of you they fix their fretwork sets", and the network just leaves it that way. Might not have been able to repair it with the tech of the day, but still, classic Bonzos.

I can see a link from this to everything the Beatles did post-1966.

Neil Innes and Viv Stanshall, also.

[@devijankowicz9491]

@@synthonaplinth5980Yes. But have you seen ‘Dip my Brain in Joy- a Life with Neil Innes’ by his wife Yvonne Innes? A lovely biography that brings those happy times back, 60s & 70s especially.

such a brilliant band. I saw then play the Boston Tea Party on Berkeley Street long ago... You all know how peevish tigers are...

Just read on Twitter that some company has stolen their name and re-registered it. As such, they can no longer perform under their own name. Tragic...

[@kentclark6420]

Without Viv and Neil, kind of like the Beatles without John and George. Stig and Nasty.

[@philipshirk2228]

Whatever happened to them? They are reminiscent of Monty Python

[@gregorypotter844]

Well Eric idle was in Monty Python after Bonzo Dog, John K less was not the only Genius.

[@philipshirk2228]

Thanks

[@francisblake4072]

Well, Viv Stanshall, sadly, died in 1995; and he was really the Heart of the bonzo's, so there was little point in them trying to continue as a band after he died. I believe Neil Innes, and Roger Ruskin-Spear are still perfoming. Dont know about the other member. They are one of the voices of Sanity that are sadly lacking in the 21st Century! Miss them hugely!

Vivian Stanshall became Paul McCartney.
