Eric Thompson: Florence's Sad Song (Original)

[@sierradelta07]

Bless you Charlie Brooker. Bless you.

[@sharonwells3211]

He's the reason I came to seek this out :-)

[@sierradelta07]

He can do very little wrong.

[@emmakane7888]

I'm here because of Desert Island Discs

[@sharonwells3211]

Me too!

[@billclarke4129]

Me too!!!

[@rodhogan1342]

I remember this from my childhood. The off key way he sings it makes it macabre, menacing, grim and unearthly. I also remember getting the same feelings from the "Singing Ringing Tree" and "Pogles Wood". All these were children's programs and TERRIFYING !!! Give them a look.

[@bradleyjohngareth]

This is why I love Charlie Brooker!

[@japagowtrio8008]

Charlie....how sad. Thank you.

[@Bewareofthedog69]

I remember this from the 70's & Charlie Brooker just chose it as 1 of his desert island discs.....genius

[@markbrown4127]

I heard this one the same thing, weird as I hardly ever listen to Desert Island Discs ,,, maybe I should

[@Bewareofthedog69]

[@thecinematicmind]

Thanks Charlie Brooker for this.

[@katandmart]

Yeah Charlie Brooker sent me here too. Gonna cover this.

[@alibi]

This is so dark

[@trionabyrne72]

But it's a sad song

[@alibi]

Anxiety disorders: the musical

[@boydonewrongagain]

My god, this is like Edith Piaf-levels of despair

[@Ronniezfx]

Mr Rusty was cut off at the end " Don't worry, everything's going to be alright...and I'm not often wrong about these things"

[@xpuucs]

I couldn't get my hands to HD audio version without mangled end :/

[@sierradelta07]

The hiss and crackle make this more authentic. Very 60s/70s.

[@dukeofmars4847]

The vynal scratches are as much an instrument as the piano.

[@daisyevans7543]

The almighty crush I have on Charlie Brooker just reached new levels

[@djbobhoskins]

Is it available digitally anywhere?

[@xpuucs]

I extracted it from this mixtape by Fred Deakin (www.mixcloud.com/freddeakin/here-it-is-mixtape/ at 22:40)

[@stephenlarkin3690]

I see that the Blue Cat has a moustache AND whiskers. Does anyone else find this odd?

[@SephirothITM]

It's actually Zebedee's moustache - in the story Buxton steals it which gives him control over the realm. So yes, it is odd...

[@stephenlarkin3690]

Always found Charlie Brooker a bit annoying..........but not after Desert Island Discs.
