    Tony Hawks singing Girlfriend in a Coma to the tune of Tiptoe Through the Tulips. I've haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

    Some of the best of the “one song to the tune of another” here. David Mitchell nearly giving himself a hernia; Linda Smith giving it all she’s got and giggling away to herself into the bargain.
    It’s one show where comedians seem to genuinely enjoy being there.

On several occasions, I nearly pranged my car I was laughing so much.

    My two absolute favourites: Whiter Shade of Pale to the tune of The Muppets - the words fit perfectly! And I Don’t Like Mondays to the tune of I Want To Be Like You.
    I don’t know who thinks of these, but some are truly inspired!
    ISIHAC is the funniest show anywhere!

    Anyone trying to explain what comedy is has the perfect model of why juxtaposing the serious and grandiose with the low brow and trivial is just bloody hilarious .
    However it all depends entirely on knowing the cultural references .

  • @coldwhite4240
    @coldwhite4240 2 роки тому +7

    Great collection, but I'm surprised there's no version of "The Marrow Song"! That used to be a popular choice for the teams to sing some years ago. I remember a particularly good version from Barry, singing it to the tune of "There'll Always Be An England" (it fits just as well as "The Laughing Policeman" did, which says something about the versatility of that tune, perhaps!) - from S39E05 in June 2002.
    From the same episode, Graeme singing "YMCA" to "We'll Gather Lilacs" and Bill Bailey singing "Run Rabbit Run" to "Stormy Weather" were good too.
    Another favourite of mine was Graeme singing "The Teddy Bear's Picnic" to the tune of "She" (complete with cod-French accent in imitation of Charles Aznavour) from another of the 2002 shows.
