    My grandad, born and bred Cockney used to sing this to me when I was a kid. Happy memories!

    Just saw Peter Noonan and got down the rabbit hole after. Amazed this song is from 1910 and has a whole bunch of verses I never heard!

    I love listening to old songs like this. I wish l had a copy of it and a 78 record player to play it on.

    Listen to this song I think of Sam (played by Patrick Swayze) in the movie "Ghost" who sing this song for the medium Oda Mae (Whoppi Goldberg) to convince her to help him contact his girlfriend. He visit her at night singing this song while she tries to sleep. 😂 I´ve only heard this by Herman's Hermits (1965), but I didn´t know this song was this old. So cool! 😃

    My dad, when he heard the song by Herman's Hermits said that his dad, who was a Cockney, used to sing a song similar to it when my dad was a kid.

    This song was later recorded and later released on two different labels including The Twin, and Invicta in 1911.

    Jehosaphat! I did not realize that this song is older than either I or Peter Noone. It is interesting to hear the original, though.

    The Libertines brought me here even if it was the time I watched "There Are No Innocent Bystanders." I love that it's song the band used to open the film. It sets the tone in my opinion.

    Peter Noone did not sing a verse of the song. He sang the chorus twice.

    • @MikeBlitzMag

      Herman's Hermits did not come up with that arrangement. Joe Brown did it four years as such before they did, and Herman's Hermits took their cue from him.

    Anybody willing to cell me their singing Henry VIII bust that plays this song? Actually it plays the 1965 version. I've been looking for one for 5 years without any success

    The Herman's Hermits song wouldn't touch the basis of the song; that's why they only sang the chorus.

    • @johnpollock3246

      Harry Champion added verses regularly. The song grew like Topsy in Uncle tom's Cabin.

      Joe Brown recorded it as such four years before Herman's Hermits did. They took their cue from Joe Brown's version.

    I think this was originally issued on a cylinder.

    Sums up the 'Royal Family' as I comment.

    Of course theres a song in the 1910s of a guy rping as Henry the VIII through song

    • @tylerbaldwin9513

      I think from looking at the lyrics, it's a joke about him comparing himself to Henry VIII because he married a woman who has had seven marriages before him.

    • @awesomelyepic51
      @awesomelyepic51 Рік тому +3

      Yep. He's Henry VIII because he's the eighth Henry to marry this woman.

    Wrong year. This is obviously an electronic recording from the mid 20s.

      No, here is his later remake: ua-cam.com/video/cqq1n5n1tu8/v-deo.html Do a UA-cam search to discover several other postings of the very same 1911 track as posted here (though mine may be a bit cleaner and brighter-sounding than some). You'll note the absence of lower bass frequencies typical of pre-electrical recordings.
