- Classic stuff. Jilted John's alias on Zoo in about 1993 (AKA Graham Fellows). And look at the fresh-faced Woss before he became a Fawlty Towers botherer. Starts off with an aborted attempt at "Paul!" Never mind, John.

British ingenuity at its finest, thank you John for making life more interesting, pidg pigeon pidg pidg pigeon.
When this video ended I cried all the way to the chip shop.
2 margarines on the go ? It's a nightmare scenario.
my favourite
John Shuttleworth is a legend! You can't be depressed after hearing one of his songs.
"have a little dagger and come at the audience" he's a genius!
Well done Joan Chitty for becoming a qualified physiotherapist
John was being a bit general - not only did Joan pass the examinations, she became a CHARTERED Physio - she helped my brother get over a bout of wankers cramp, he is grateful to this day; it also gave him the confidence to apply for an audition for an Utterly Butterly commercial. So hats off to Joan
Congratulations Joan!
Oof! That got a bit ‘blue’.
The only one who really got a 'sound' out of a Yamaha PSS-780.
John Shuttleworth is a legend! Every time I see a Hansel and Gretel chalet I think of him!
Oh man this brings back memories - Saw Mr Shuttleworth in Brighton back in the day - genius.
Very very clever songwriter is Graham Fellowes and he writes some mean melodies too. Absolutely love the guy.
I remember when John was on Radio 4 and phoned up the Norwegian Embassay in London to ask if they'd like to have 'Pigeons in Flight' as their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest that year.
ah man no matter how many times i hear him i cry with laughter- hes a genius
He would make an excellent school teacher.
20 jokes per second all over their heads
Just been to Shrewsbury to see him tonight. Comic genius, so clever, like you say most over everyone’s head. Funniest night I’ve had for ages . Quality.
@@AVFC1982 He’s fantastic isn’t he! I think it’s almost like an Alan Bennet soliloquy. It’s a little more gentle/subtle comedy than say Steve Coogan was with AP or Paul and Pauline Calf, but some of the stuff you hear on the radio shows are sublime!
"He did come last, but it was definitely him" LOL
It did indeed go round and round in my head for years :)
Pure talent, what an original funny man , Sheffield Rules.
John Shuttleworth should be given an honorary doctorate from Sheffield Hallam and a philosophy lectureship for one year.
I won't be able to sleep tonight. That was too hooky, too catchy. :)
Absolutely brilliant .. The artistic lyrics made me cry
"Pigeons in flight, I wanna see you tonight!" Catchy & brilliant.
Ken Worthington must be pleased. This is a Legend. When was the last time he appeared live. i'm from 2023 btw. Thanks!
one person removed the cardboard from the bounty bar
It makes a sturdy shopping list...
"have a little dagger and come at the audience" he's a genius
great stuff,often see him on his bike around town !
I've seen him live a few times, he's brilliant
Saw him live once. Had a mid show banana
Him not me
A comedy genius!!!!!!!! All hail the Shuttleworth!!!!!!!!
Johns a absolute legend in Huddersfield.
John was very funny back then and got much funnier as the years went by ....Ooof !
Was searching for 7 Songs By Sunset... this is another classic!
Great too find the captain is a fan of john shuttleworth cos I’m a great fan of you both...wife and I still attend the damned concerts...😎🌈
Still makes me cry
I am so happy I saw this first hand I loved it the minute I heard pigeons in flight. Beautiful song, why wasn’t it a hit????
loved it when he came to Portsmouth!
The lyrics require no further honing.
He wrote and sang... Gordon Is A Moron. A big hit.
First class confectionery!
It's a subtle northern humour and i think the audience are from London. 😆
Would have been a great double act, John shuttleworth and Frank sidebottom. Genius's both!
Priceless!
At last! A video on youtube that some yank hasn't come along and posted trash-talk underneath!
As Yorkshire as David Hockney and Alan Bennett - start a hall of fame now!
I’m still singing it now in 2023 😂
A true showman
Refers to the time Ross & Brand made inappropriate on-air phone calls to Andrew Sachs (Manuel).
Oooph Ken! You can't do that, theres a housepipe ban!
David O Doherty took the flame as the most tedious musical comedy act in the UK from this guy, and I am grateful, somehow
Absolutely Brilliant.
Makes it look easy, but makes something quite good look bad, and still be accepted. I thought this was a bit later than 1993.
Too subtle for some...
Cliff on a bike!! I`m having a major flashback here, Hoh!
Saw him last night at the Bloomsbury theatre where he finished with...
Pigeons in flight. 🙂
XD John Shuttleworth makes my sides split
Love to see you play with Gary Barlow John, think that would be great!!
Absolute f@cking legend.
My first dance at my wedding.
Love it!
A Legend!
Of course. Thankyou Pop.
Who the hell is the one dislike?? Get 'em lads!
Gordon.
well I was looking up dead websites, and bubble gun came up and they had an article on this guy making a eurovision song. pretty funny guy
I met John good man
a legend!!!
Great comic timing
I have a John Shuttleworth tea towel
Ded jeal!
You never can see pigeons in flight at night. He s the king of the trivial men. 😀
"There's Nor-way you can lose!"
Look at the early '90's TV hipsters....
Damned good Idea MrHanbo I like your thinking
total genious !!!!!
John Shuttleworth’s jacket is LESS ridiculous than Jonathan’s.
Preferred his Jilted John persona "Gordon is a moron!!"
love john...now i'm heading to Jake...
Genius!!!
Aint you got echo Jonathon? Have you not? Nevermind, don't matter.
When will this be released on a single?
I want a leather coat like yours John.
You can tell Graham Fellows is an aficionado of Frank Sidebottom.
?
Graham Fellows is John Shuttleworth. Graham was one of Frank's roadies, so knew him quite well.
thank you that's interesting!
Ah, Frank Side bottom. Another genius.
the best.....
class
Where can I get the single??!
www.shuttleworths.co.uk
Genius indeed
Was that number 78 on the Yamaha, John?
Hansel and Gretel chalet? A man can stand up in one fully erect. Stop that, Ken.
We really could of done with John having a go at a song for europe, I mean Ireland had that dustin the turkey and those eastern european countries put out loads of weird stuff that get through. I'd of voted anyway :D
What is a "Fawlty Towers botherer"?
Tommy Cockles before he was Tommy Cockles! Brilliantly original comic.
@ZIPPYGEORGEBUNGLE Not a Bounty with no card?
@jeffiegirl 1.26 - 'Mr & Mrs Whitaker, they love that one and she's a lab technician, it's just a question of taste, i'n't it?!'
Hah! Classic!
This is great to see but you could have edited Ross of the footage
Not a fan of Paul Ross’ more successful brother?
Genius
@neilrwilkinson 1993 ish.
I know you're here for this wonderful song s it starts at 3:41
I’m so confused.
I suppose Osvod favours a snowboard nowadays. Very vexing to the skiing community.
Legend.🤣
I love the bloke but I hope Jack Duckworth gets royalties.He even sings like him!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....TOP STUFF
Oooofft!!
Iv got pet pigeon and I allways think of that there song cos its nice isn't it, I said to Jeff jst yesterday ,remember that their song Mr shuttle used to do bout pigeons and that ,he said ye I remember that like yester .Pity all that fame went t head thou he went lot bought brand Austin embassitor jst t rub it in .he were never a proper scab him .but nice bloke all the same. but his wife and manager were having a affair see but poor John couldn't see it .and nobody had the heart to tell him.
Eurovision Winner potential
