Comedy records/songs

Re: Comedy records

Billy Connolly's songs very funny, especially the Welly Song -

"If it wisnae for yer wellies, where wid ye be?
You'd be in the hospital or in-firmary!
You wid have a dose o' the flu or even pluracy,
If ye didnae hae yer feet in yer wellies!"

My favourite comedy songs are probably those from Monty Python, such as The Bruces' Philosphers Song, The Lumberjack Song and I Like Chinese (although nowadays that song would probably seem racist!).

And who can forget Spitting Image and The Chicken Song?

Re: Comedy records

did nt Russ Abbot start off in a group
not sure if it was a comedy song group ?
the Black Abbots ?
But is n't Benny Hill the godfather of the comedy song
even writing his own material too.

Yes we know its right , its in black and white
And its all in Pepys diary ......

( they don t write em like that anymore !

Re: Comedy records

Carrott was always good, I had a good few of his albums at one time. I also had a couple of Rowan Atkinson's, I forget the titles now, but one contained that brilliant sketch where he's the Indian waiter trying desperately to keep his patience with a table full of drunks: "Cucumber Raitha, Onion Raitha, Paperback Raitha, yes, ha ha very funny."

But my favourite by far is Viv Stanshall's Sir Henry at Rawlinson End. It takes you on a flight of fancy you never expected. And leaves you there as it roars away in a taxi flicking V signs.

Re: Comedy records

I love Carrott (ohh that sounds very odd doesn't it)

"The bloke was all over the road, I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him"

Exactly..
"I pulled into a lay-by with smoke coming from under the hood. I realised the car was on fire so took my dog and smothered it with a blanket."

Re: Comedy records

yeah we had the Jasper Carrot ones too. Also a Barron Knights album with their funny songs on which we used to listen to on the stereo system (which had replaced the radiogramme).

Re: Comedy records

When I was about 10 years old I was given an old steptoe album, the episode was about a load of false teeth, dont know what happened to it, maybe an ex girlfriend has it I listened to it frequently, (probably only had a few records)

Re: Comedy records

Carrot's commercial breakdown was always funny.

Re: Comedy records

Very appropriate for this time of year -

'What Are We Gonna Get 'Er Indoors?' by George Cole & Dennis Waterman

Combining Christmas and 'Minder' in about 3-and-a-half minutes.

The Sideboard song by Chas n Dave is apt too.

Re: Comedy records

And I listened to the first Not The Nine O'Clock News LP just the other day. Still raises a chuckle.

To Rowan Atkinson in a chimp outfit - 'when he caught you were you wild?'

'wild, I was absolutely livid!'

Yep, that's the one I used to listen to.

Re: Comedy records

There used to be a great site for Kenny Everett's Captain Kremmen that had Mp3 archives of episodes from his Captial Radio show but (as it probably infringed all manner of copyright malarky) it seems to have gone now and I didn't copy them off

The link to this thread being that there was an LP of the Captain Kremmen movie (animated by Cosgrove Hall).
