I introduced my fiance to this song a few weeks ago. I've admired it for years. My condolences to the friends, family, and loved ones of this bright man.

A genius sadly taken from us a little too soon.

[@stevetillcock7361]

Sadly gone and suddenly.

[@valhol9384]

Rest in peace, Neil :(

[@trinelangohr6661]

That song is so charming and catchy- they didn't need to make this parody video to sell it. Although it's hilarious. But I can totally take that song seriously.

[@rabidrabbitshuggers]

What a simple but beautiful song.

[@TheHazeyQ]

I had a tenalady moment at his reaction when they started tap-dancing.

[@BazTheStoryteller]

AnyTHING goes in
AnyTHING goes out
Fish, bananas
Old pyjamas
Mutton, beef, and trout!

The outlook for today is mainly tragic,
Cloudy, dull, occasional rain and scattered magic,
But unlike those who say
They prefer the good old days,
I hardly ever feel nostalgic.
And although the intellectually agile,
Can logically prove the heart is fragile,
Drifting unawares
Through all of its affairs,
Nevertheless
Love is still the simple badge I'll proudly wear...
When does a dream begin?
Does it start with a goodnight kiss?
Is it begun when two hearts are one
When does a dream begin?
When does a dream begin?
Is it born in a moment of bliss?
Is it conceived or simply achieved
When does a dream begin?
The vision of you appears somehow
Impossible to resist
But I'm not imagining seeing you now
For who could have dreamed of this?
When does a dream begin?
When reality is dismissed?
Or does it commence when we lose all pretense?
When does a dream begin?
When does a dream begin?

Beautiful lyrics. Godspeed Neil, thank you for your dreamy talent. XXX

Neil Innes should have played Poirot

[@bly2489]

I really like the man and the song, but what on earth is that video?

[@Fuzcapp]

I remember this from the last series of Python. Was it the Mr Neutron episode????

[@jimmyconway294]

Close. It was for "Light Entertainment War." Which was two episodes before Mr. Neutron.

[@Fuzcapp]

@@jimmyconway294 Oh ok. Thanks. Also, while we're here ... ummm - Something up with my banter today, chaps?

[@andrzejlisek]

Oh dear, ‘Always look on the bright side of life’ seems to have heavily plagiarised this.
