I was a six-year-old boy living in Ireland when I first heard this song! I fell head over heels in 'Love' with Sophia Loren and Nancy Sinatra - They were so lovely! As for Peter Sellars - when he was given the right part - such as "Dr Strangelove" - he was simply the best of the best! That they would make such stars!
This was repeatedly played on All Indian Radio in Sixties and Seventies by request from listeners on a program called "listeners choice". Friday evening and Saturday nights. Those were simply humble days. Great days then....the word racism was never heard of then. AND I AM INDIAN And even now I listen to that song. Brings back sweet memories. I remember going to the movies to see Peter Sellers in THE PARTY. He acted as a fumbling Indian there too. BRING BACK THE OLD DAYS!!!! Don't forget Bill Forbes classic "Oh to be England " Another classic in those days. I remember my uncles dancing to this tune. Peter Sellers inspired Bill Forbes. GOOD OLD FUN DAYS.....BRING THEM BACK PLEASE !!! We seem to have eaten the fruit of the Forbidden Tree...if you know what I mean.
I agree. But given the whole Simpsons/Apu "controversy" with white actors voicing Indian characters, you can bet that this song would not be very PC in today's oversensitive world.
The video clip was from the film The Millionaires, but sadly the wasn't in the film, must have been done afterwards. Anyway Thanks for posting, used to love this song as a kid.
This song used to play as a jingle when I was a child and I always thought the singers were of middle East Indian origin 😂...now I see it was late Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren
Yes ,Yes , innocent humour , now considered racist ..ahh the good oh days when you could take the piss and have a laugh ua-cam.com/video/DJqqoWqD3jQ/v-deo.html
Produced by George Martin (Beatles) who also did Right said Fred with Bernard Cribbins all at Parlophone pre-Beatles. Classically trained and without him the Beatles would never have succeeded. Controversial statement but true.
Yes, you're absolutely right. Truly, George Martin was the Fifth Beatle, as much of a Beatle as the rest of them. He organized lyrics that were often disorganized, and his arrangements gave creative impact to their songs. His mentorship was probably equivalent to earning a Bachelor's degree in music, and their learnings impacted their music for life after the Beatles. I was surprised when I read that he died recently (2016)--I thought he had died long ago, and that's because he's been overlooked during the past several decades.
The fact that he also produced Gerry and The Pacemakers, Cilla Black and Bernard Cribbins and so many acts that never became Beatles-huge tells you that the Beatles’ success probably would have happened with or without George Martin. He was important to the band but not integral
Anyone remember Peter Sellers inthe BBC comedy The Goon Show In the 50s and 60s , with Harry Seacombe and Spike Milligan . I think he became famous from this hilarious show and went on to become a famous cinema star . S .KULASINGHI
I sing it to my cat Sooty Annana. He is Indian. And My other cat, he be a home boy Clovis. Oh Mummy can you help me? What? I got Chee chee on my brain. And every time I think of it, it's driving me insane! Coochum. I be Afro Carribean Asian and Welsh. Chee chee is cat treats. OK. ? Coochums to everyone who is needing an Indian Doctor. 😂❤❤❤
and the eye that beholds sophia in 1960 and doesn't see beauty needs an eye and head doctor. pter sellers was a difficult man to work with but not one to lose his mind and heart over her.
When I was very young my grandparents had the record and my sister and I played it over and over again. I didn't realise until a few years ago that it was associated with a movie when it was on the telly - I waited anxiously for the song and was disappointed that it wasn't part of the movie. But it doesn't matter, as for me it just brings back happy memories.
Actually, I think the difference here is that it's very carefully *not* racist. Peter Sellers is playing an Indian character, but has clearly worked hard on his accent, which is quite deliberately careful and not in itself a parody so as to avoid mocking the target culture. I think, if anything, this is an excellent example of how cross cultural humour is possible without causing offense. (Hindi student here.)
@@andromedaturnbull3512 and what's the song about but a beautiful woman falling in love with a gentle, humble and modest man? (and because he is gentle, humble and modest)
This is a prime example of the colonization of cultural stereotypes in conjunction with the exploitation of outmoded binary gender models based on characteristics which were allowed to develop before these individuals were in a position to choose which sex their lived experience informed them they should be. In other words a delightful example of the good old days which seemed so uncomplicated, when humour was meant to be just that and not draped in definitions of hate speech and victimhood. I meant to just say it's bloody funny and glad her characteristics developed just the way they did. At a rough guess I'd say the right pronoun is 'she', yeah a woman.
He was actually trying to mimic a Welsh accent but it came out sounding Indian. So he just went along with it . Happens to many folk who try to do the Welsh accent.
Christ this is so bad!!! First off, it's dubbed, and secondly it has actors with English supposedly as their non-native language (with the exception of Peter Sellers) and all the idioms that go with it, demonstrating this piece of artwork which should have only been left in the makette stage, directed in a traditionally slow manner which does no credit to themselves, nor their fictional characters. What's up with snapping the fingers? BTW: head over to me impersonating Steven Toast.
Oh Putin is in trouble well goodness gracious me For every time a certain man sends drones into the sea A flush comes to his face and his pulse begins to race It goes boom boody boom boody boom boody boom…………
David McManus ooh you are awful! I used to be a big fan of Dick Emery, but I’m afraid that he wouldn’t get away with his stuff these days. Olivier’s Othello, Guinness as Prince Faisal, Sellers as Dr Fu Manchu… all those movies will have to be burned! Even Christopher Lee said his favourite role was blacking up and playing Jinnah - in a biopic about Pakistan’s first leader. He’d get no platformed if he were still alive!
you're racist because if you're saying this is racist that means you have a problem with this accent. If he was doing any other accent you wouldnt mind.... but because it is Indian thats why you have a problem bigot.
I remembered hearing this as a kid. The song just came to me just now so I thought why not? I happy hearing it
Absolutely fabulous. Classy actors and actresses like these are hard to find these days.
I was a six-year-old boy living in Ireland when I first heard this song! I fell head over heels in 'Love' with Sophia Loren and Nancy Sinatra - They were so lovely! As for Peter Sellars - when he was given the right part - such as "Dr Strangelove" - he was simply the best of the best! That they would make such stars!
😀😀 I'm 47, just became a granny to beautiful twins, boy and girl, I'm singing this to them, feck the eejits. Happy New year to you and yours 😀
(now normal accents and behaviors plus Telling the Truth is all illegal, inmoral and fattening)
you are understandably lucky
The wonderfully talented Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren, a lovely fun record, GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME.
A Classic record indeed.
A beautiful woman, a great actress and she has a delightful voice.
Dont really think peter was that great looking !....its just a girl !
I think he sold himself on his looks . ( as with most men )
Very happy to see Sophia Loren and sellers action They were so popular in 60s

The tree's fruit only made us like them. It was only forbidden by the writer of the story.
I agree. But given the whole Simpsons/Apu "controversy" with white actors voicing Indian characters, you can bet that this song would not be very PC in today's oversensitive world.
@@LordHeath1972 And you can bet that the people complaining loudest would be Virtue Signalling "progressive" whites.
‘Bring back the old days’.. you obviously enjoy being treated as a second class citizen, and given just a handful of rights, and racially abused.
@@listenupmusicpeeps What a lovely bag of hammers you are.

She was a real stunner in her day
What a Goddess.
I was a toddler. Wene. I used to sing this. It was in my grand mother record collection
she was a true buety back in the day .Peter Seller went a bit to mad for her but can see why anyone would be in love with her
Love this song
What a piece of genius R.I.P to one of the greatest comedian's and actors of all time
Well said
This song used to play as a jingle when I was a child and I always thought the singers were of middle East Indian origin 😂...now I see it was late Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren
He was a very talented man. 😊
Ms Loren being very much alive today (2024).
I didn't realise I knew ALL THE WORDS!! Had a great laugh and a trip down memory lane ... thanks for the clip.
I was 9 when this came out and loved it then. Hearing it now many years later it's still cute and charming. No one seems to make fun records anymore.
THANKS FOR YOU! OUR GREAT INDIAN FRIEND!
My pleasure
Just wonderful!!

I agree. Every factor added to their success. Without George Martin or Brian Epstein the Beatles would have never made it.
Brilliant. Enjoy
Who else came here after watching the remake featuring Rowan Atkinson and Pixie Lott?
I've never heard Rowan Atkinson and Pixie Lott's version
@@barrydaws4602 personally I prefer the newer version.
I first listened to it on the film scandal. True story !!
I like Rowan but sorry in this case. Hands down for the original. Peter and Sophia they we're so good together.
O, other way round. Both as good as each other but Pixie most sexy!!
Brilliant!!! 😄😄😄👍
Yes. Good, fun comedy! Nothing better! ❤
Beautiful ❤️
☀️ BOOM! A classic from yester year 😁
Simply amazing !
Christmas 1960 radio Luxembourg listening under the bed clothes !
An unlikely and fun couple ! and Sophia is beatiful.
The most beautiful woman ever to appear on screen
A stunner alright- no doubt that she was a woman
Sophia Loren 86 today. Where did the years go?
The send up off the Flemish version of Professor T is a riot.
Anyone remember Peter Sellers inthe BBC comedy The Goon Show
In the 50s and 60s , with
Harry Seacombe and Spike Milligan . I think he became famous from this hilarious show and went on to become a famous cinema star .

One good looking bird.
Peter Sellers was a difficult man to work with though very talented . As for Loren , well beauty is in the eye of the beholder .
and the eye that beholds sophia in 1960 and doesn't see beauty needs an eye and head doctor. pter sellers was a difficult man to work with but not one to lose his mind and heart over her.
Sophia Loren - The 'hottest' woman on this planet. I have had that opinion since childhood and I am NEVER wrong!
Can’t disagree with that
First heard this song while watching Scandal about the Profumo affair
Hahah 1989 hey .. fantastic movie
Neil Sean sent me here. 😊
So this is where that sketch show title came from.
I know so many young women who have never heard of Sophia Loren, such a sad thing.
my husband always said I reminded him of Sophia Loren (as you know, love is blind! --I'm short and dumpy}
@@patgordon- it’s called love ❤️
Couldn’t do this now!
My boomerang won't come back .
@@philip5940- ha ha , I think one of the lyrics went , ‘ practiced till I was black in the face ‘ …ouch how times have changed .
George Martin was the arranger...5 years later he "made" the Beatles ;-)
Actually 2 years later, George met the lads in 1962, their first LP was recorded in early '63.
In the 90s there was a bhangra remix..
Great song...but it's not in the movie!!!! Should have been......what were they thinking!!??
They were thinking about promotion, & it worked very well: both song & film (#TheMillionaress) were hugely popular in 1960.
The film was not a comedy like the song..
When I was very young my grandparents had the record and my sister and I played it over and over again. I didn't realise until a few years ago that it was associated with a movie when it was on the telly - I waited anxiously for the song and was disappointed that it wasn't part of the movie. But it doesn't matter, as for me it just brings back happy memories.
I started listening to Sophia Loren with S'agapo.
as an Indian when I heard this track, I was in splits.
wtf lmao..
What's with the sound? Can hardly hear SL...
She’s loud & clear in the right channel. (Sellers is loud & clear in the left.)
❤❤❤❤❤
Were they both supposed to be Indian or just Peter Sellers?
Damn right!
That sounds like Rolf Harris playing the wobble board in the background!
thats what i thought lol
was this song separate from the movie ?
Bloody woman is *_still_* gorgeous.
भगवान की मुझ पर कृपा है
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

What about the flute ?
Does the sound have a weird impact on the ears or is it just me?
The ultimate woman
With Indian Tadhka...
I'm surprised the dreary wokesters haven't cancelled this for "racism," instead of realizing the world was different (and vastly better) in 1960.

At this point cancelling Sellers would present certain significant practical difficulties......

You had me at the start but I forgive you.
Jeeze , you had me worried for a minute, I thought you were serious
lol , he makes a better Indian than an Indian !!
A very handsome Indian - one & only. Haaaa !!
He was actually trying to mimic a Welsh accent but it came out sounding Indian. So he just went along with it . Happens to many folk who try to do the Welsh accent.
wAS pETER sELLERS from india? Or was making a character?
In today's world he would be cancelled.
Like the voice for Abdul' in The Simpsons was.
Think he was from Croydon 😂

ha ha , so un PC but SO funny !
its racism
@@dieterbuschbaum6904 lighten up
But... he doesn't even look REMOTELY Indian...
Does it matter
I wasn't looking at him.
And now this is considered politically incorrect? Come off it. It’s a fun and silly song.
Huh. The doctor sounds a lot like Inspector Clouseau, Dr. Stranelove, Chance the Gardner and the Dutchess of Grand Fenway...
