I've just read through nearly 400 comments, and didn't get to _any_ negative ones until very near the end. Most show how much she was loved, and an awful lot express sadness that she was taken from us so young.
I'm pretty sure it's VW's own composition; however, like Tom Lehrer, she imitates many other styles. The verse (or chorus, not sure which you'd say is which) is very much in tango style; the other part is a different style.
This is wonderful. Never seen it before, can't imagine it'll get past the bed wetting censors now😂That speccy four eyes gag went VERY under appreciated by the audience! My sister was a huge VW fan and got to meet her. Don't think this is PG enough for her though... 😂😂😂
@@atadbitahistory9660 I've always seen Dillie Keane as Tom's successor (she acknowledges him as one of her muses), but had never realised that Victoria Wood is also part of that very small club. V could have done some of Tom's songs too, of course (although I don't think I've ever heard her sing anything but her own).
Just a huge talent with a wicked sense of humour . unfortunately never to be matched because moderness won't allow, we all now are to be boring that's what powers to be want of us...
I never wanted to say "nig-nog", I was never keen on "Paki". Or "capitalist lackey" I thought was rather tacky, It was never on my lips. But there's a term I'm rather fond of, And to use it I do hanker. It's not heard in Casablanca, That little word is "wanker", As a term it's had its chips. They say it's not correct, it's got to go. They say it's too direct, well I don't know. If it is never heard, then how convey That very special word Another way? He is a little self abusive, His mitts are always in his knicks. He prefers to jiggle solo, He prefers his own last Rolo, To a bag of Pick 'n' Mix. He writes for Masturbation Weekly, When opportunity occurs. If you're buying him a present, His 'n' Hers things can be pleasant, But don't bother wrapping hers. I've never wanted to say "Fart Face", I don't find "asshole" too appealing. It depends with whom you're dealing, And it's just a personal feeling, But I don't like how it sounds. But political correctness Has taken hold just like a canker. I would like to nick a tanker, And run down that stupid wanker Who has put it out of bounds. Alright, it's not correct, I'm out of touch. But please reflect: it says so much. Are there some other ways? It's such a shame. Is there another phrase That means the same? His scrotum isn't used to strangers, There are no condoms on his shelf. When his tones caress and soften, When he asks "D'you come here often?" He is talking to himself. He'll never need a big address book, Cos all his friends are in his flies. A dick may sometimes disappear, But it won't drag you 'round IKEA, Or buy you polyester ties. And if it's not correct, it's awfully cute. I feel I must reject a substitute. Though it may make you squirm, You find it's strong. To use another term Just takes so long. His favourite film is "Brief Encounter", He has the tissues standing by. He thought "Get Shorty" was just silly, He was mad about "Free Willy", And it's easy to see why. His wrists keep very fit and active, They'll never need to join a gym. He has no need of a friend or neighbour, He can toss without a caber, Altogether-lucky him! The world is full of different people, Some are moral, some are heinous. Some are ugly, some like Venus, Some take photos of their penis, We all have our different acts. And as the world turns through a new day, We know that bankers will be banking. Harassed mothers will be spanking, No doubt wankers will be thanking You and me for facing facts.
Absolutely love the song. Sadly, just played it to two of my 25yr old colleagues and they checked out after those two trigger words, entirely missing the point of her saying, she's happy to see them go. They just couldn't cope with someone from the past saying those words aloud. It was hugely embarrassing and I left feeling like I've done something wrong... Oh, well...
I'm 14 and would by the mkre extreme right be called 'woke' ( although, apparently all kids are 'woke' ? ), I think this song is hilarious and you are very likely just working with a bunch of wankers.
2016 was such a sad year. In only a four month span England lost 3 of it's finest Female comedy writers and performers. Victoria died in April of that year..Carla Lane followed shortly after in May and then we lost Caroline Aherne in July. They each gave us their gift of comedy and luckily we have recordings and places like UA-cam where we can keep their memories alive for coming generations.
Classic victoia
Amazing clever funny and fearless!!
After all these years I miss her humour.
Victoria had a unique and magical talent. A real national treasure.
I believe in equality . And i think those that are not are a bunch of Wank*ers .
Brilliant did not know she played piano.
Brilliantly funny and talated!. Sadly missed.
Sadly missed
We miss you come back 😢😢😢
Cm
Oh Vicky! So sadly missed!
Instead of the w word....just call him Onan.....or an onanistic.
Prescient.
What we had and what we've lost. Oh, the humanity.
😂 brilliant
God I miss this genius!!!

Staggeringly talented-absolutely one of a kind and sadly missed
I recognize the music and melody but can't think what the original song is. Help anyone?

Loved Victoria Wood. I do one of her impressions on my channel.

What a talent. Victoria wood is so missed.
Another one taken too soon.
"His scrotum isn't used to strangers" I died xx
RIP 🪦
Only the great Victoria Wood could write, and perform, a song about self-flagellation, and make it enjoyable!
ua-cam.com/video/Qhsj3ZQJoTY/v-deo.html comes close.
Great artist with perfect diction
Again bloody "can laughter" I hate it
So true how delightful
I've just realised how easilty it is to imagineom Lehrer singing some of her songs. This is a compliment to both.
Omg it is, I have always thought this and nobody listens to me
@@atadbitahistory9660 It's obviously a clever person thing.
@@atadbitahistory9660 I've always seen Dillie Keane as Tom's successor (she acknowledges him as one of her muses), but had never realised that Victoria Wood is also part of that very small club.

@@seeingthepatternmy mum has always loved Victoria and dinnerladies is one of my favourite comedies
Oh, my lord. I'm crying with laughter. How did she keep a straight face while singing? 😂
Brilliant 😂😢
I love her, a comedy Genius ❤

What a rare and wonderful talent. She was just a clever witty woman. One of a kind. 😢
Total genius 😁😁😁😁😁
Oh how I miss this genius. She was the best. Thankfully there is so much on UA-cam so we can reminisce as much. This is just brilliant.
Crying with laughter here miss Victoria she had a perfect comedic timing
Absolutely love the song.

Their loss.

A great talent. It's been a long time since I had a good laugh 😃. Too bad Victoria Wood is no longer with us. She left us way too soon. May she RIP.
This is great, thank you Victoria RIP
wow this song is ahead of its time
What an extraordinary talent!! A much missed lady!!
Brilliant. Nothing like this tradition of comedy in the States.
