Do Not Adjust Your Set: Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Tubas In Moonlight

[@misterpeppercorn3078]

I'm one blessed American that saw them 'live'........they were fantastic...... and had partied with them. I had a mishap and spilled my glass of red wine on the sleeve of Vivian's suede jacket. He didn't notice so I slipped away to join other party goers. I know it's too late but Sorry Viv. ❤

[@phanic.at.the.disco.]

the fact that people think that vivian is talented enough to replace paul mccartney is honestly a huge compliment to his talent

Stanshall would find old 78s in markets for next to nothing then get the band to learn the song.

[@juanfilipwinifred]

You can see in a mid 70s documentary about his day to day that he continued to do this until after the bonzos broke up too. I think he found a lot of inspiration in their quirks

[@Mr_Gray_Sky]

It's amazing to think that Vivian Stanshall is about 25 here. He has so much charisma.

[@jrb4935]

He was about 32, and he's the same man who is now 'Paul McCartney'.

Billy Shears in his younger days

[@the1cindarelly]

Bill's the best. Love hearing some of his other 999 voices.

A stunning song.

[@ThePressingMatters]

He does love that music hall style. Honey Pie came from this tradition

[@Scott-nl1ky]

Is that a Young david Jason introducing the band

[@mackgerry]

Yes it is. He was on Do Not Adjust Your Set. Viv Stanshall played a song every week on the show. Some of the Monty Python team started on this show too.

[@trevorelliston1]

It was great show. Very surreal….and aimed at kids. I loved it.

Bob Bent (of "Tuba Experience" - apparently lol ) Looks like a young David Lynch, trapped under a hippie wig! 1:54 XD

Have you listened to the lyrics? It's not PC either but it's marvellous and of its day.

And how lucky they were to be able to watch shows like this.

Tuba and piccola are the foundation of any reputable show!!

This is the man who has been playing 'Paul McCartney' for 55 years.

Billy is fantastic

[@anneteller3128]

Are we certain this is not Harry Nilsson playing Viv Stanshall? He was naturally blonde and around back then. Compare this video to Harry Nilsson's song video (see link below) below. The comparison is uncanny. Harry had a beautiful voice and he knew the Beatles and there's a picture of him with Billy, so he had definitely met Billy. I don't know the exact dates. Usually when Billy and the other guy he hired (more long term) played Vivian Shanshall, they played him with red hair and beard. Tell me what you think. The camera does a close up at around the 1:28 mark, so you can really see the resemblance. Also, notice Harry's movements at the end of the song. He could easily play the prissy type movements of the Viv Stanshall character. Also notice the woman who introduces Harry in the video clip (link below) in another language, actually says the words, "Paul McCartney" when she introduces him. If you speak this language, tell us what she said about Paul McCartney. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5zdn4eDrbSmrtE

[@robertyeagermusic]

This is a very interesting connection that I’m honestly surprised nobody else has mentioned. While I don’t believe that it’s Harry Nilsson in this particular performance, it’s more than likely he not only played Vivian Stanshall in One Man’s Week, but also played the role of Paul McCartney himself quite a few times. Unfortunately I don’t speak the language that the host was speaking, so I can’t know for sure what she said about Paul McCartney. I will edit my comment if I have any further information.

[@TeleCaster66]

Hey, it's Paul McCartney!

[@robertgunter7230]

And Phil Ackril, don't forget him ,,Billy is so bloody marvellous

[@martinholmes-ue9ko]

😢idiot

[@TheContingencyPlan]

I’d like you to do a video about John Lennon singing on the song “Band on the Run” during a period when we’re led to believe they hated one another. I’ve yet to see anyone ever mention this.

[@mateoguillermo5571]

It resembles "Honey Pie"..why would it be?

[@alejo7365]

because is the same kind of chord progression and instruments used in the typical english hall music of the 20s

[@glenbard657]

Do they do any comedy?

[@martinholmes-ue9ko]

Don't be stupid.
