FYI the Fabulous Bingo Brothers are actually Zoot Money and John ("Barry Wom") Halsey, who were in GRIMMS with Neil Innes.
My old bluegrass band used to do this as a soundcheck. Nobody in the audience had the slightest idea of that it was about.
They just looked confused.
My Grandad used to recite this like a nonsense poem to us as kids; I loved it and it’s always stuck with me…
My Nan would always sing this song. This year at 98 she got covid. She was literally on her death bed but last week she beat it. I'm memorizing this to sing it to her over the phone. :)
If this is true, and I hope it is, it's the best thing I've read today. I hope your Nan is at least 99.
The fabulous bingo brothers were :Orville Bingo ZOOT MONEY and
Wilbur Bingo JOHN HALSEY with Pianist NOBBY BINGO which was Neil Innes
Never ever I would find this, 13, OGWT listener but this never has left my head, so this is a teastement to their comedy that it has been inside me all these many years
Still looking for Neil and Eric.
It was a tribute when Whispering Bob Harris said: "One week, we'll be having a full show without them". If they could have done away with the toilet cisterns in the background, it could have been a hit.
Love this song. Thanks for uploading it.
Hey that's the guy who played Barry Wom!
Ah, sweet joy! Just found this finally after years of it bugging me on and off at the back of my mind! (What was that song? Where did it come from? "Do you remember that song about the donkey coming in from the yard?" "..No" etc etc) My life is complete! Thanks for posting!
They don't make 'em like this anymore.
Rarely ever did
Anyone remember the Two Sleepy Junkies song? “
Here we are, out of LSD,
we smoked all the ganja, snorted all the C,
Two sleepy junkies forever on the nod
and too pissed and stoned to say goodnight…
Wonderful!
Apart from the Fabulous Bingo Brothers, on the Old Gay Whistle Test that week was... Steve Flea, Hot Nadgers, The Wretched Admiral Sphincter, and Toad The Wet Sprocket. Also a look at the new album on the 'Vegetarian' label, Karmic Subtopian Protoplasmic Maximised Mantric Archaic Intrusion.
A while after this, a band actually called themselves Toad the Wet Sprocket. I wish the Wretched Admiral Sphincter was real. Only Eric could have come up with such genius names. I think Toad the Wet Sprocket turns up again in Eric's Rock Notes on the Contractual Obligation album.
@@ernesthernia418 I think you are right, Ernest. Such a classic episode when the real Bob Harris turned up, and Neil Innes' take on Bob Dylan was the icing on the cake. I maybe accused of being confused, but I'm average weight for my height. My philosophy, like colour TV is all there in black and white.
Wasn't this on the Old Grey Whistle Test as well. A rare clip. Thanks for posting.
It was part of a Rutland Weekend television episode that featured a spoof of Old grey Whistle test. After the song the real Bob Harris was on and introduced Neil Innes singing a protest song.
Why oh why did this duo never make the big time? I can't think of one reason.
Is that Barry Womble on the right?
love it, mother's sown me draws up
What does Zoot say in a high voice just before Barry Won says 'Mothers sown my draws up'?
@@ernesthernia418 'Aint you mad you can't get at it, mothers sewn me drawers up'
love it
@pmbail My Gran would sing this to all us kids when we were little. Her words were a bit different than these but it's still great.
Mother took a what???
I've been trying to figure that line out for years. Can any body help???
"Muvva took a knife and fork and stuck it in the ass
Stuck it in me farver's ead and out went the gas."
lol haha...very random but still funny!
I think the donkey was cold out in the storm rather than the yard as storm actually rhymes with warm, no...?
You're right. As I remember the words were....
Once we had a donkey and we kept it in the yard
One day in the winter it was snowing very hard
Mother said it's chilly for the donkey in the storm
Bring it in the parlour, let it have a warm.
It came in, looked at father's ear
Took it for a cabbage leaf and bit poor father dear
And out went the gas, then it came alight again
From poor father's ear the donkey took a bite again
Mother got a pitchfork and stuck it in the ass
She stuck it in poor father's ear
And out went the gas.
The bloke on the right looks like Harry Enfield.
They don't write them like that anymore.
No, rarely did in fact! ^_^
barry wom??!?!
You know you can edit the title? It's neither Neil nor Eric.
Neil's tickling the ivories
Who are the two bozos that don't get it?
I'm sure this is Chaz and Dave
Worlds most annoying song my dad loves it who made up this crap
