LOL! Oh my God! I just acidently clicked on this video trying to get somewhere else. So I stayed to listen, why not I'm here. It took me no more than ten seconds to figure out the lyrics. WOW! They sure weren't anywhere nearly as strict back there in 'Ole Great Grandma's time, were they? Ohh nooo they weren't!!! 🤯🥸😱 That was just so to much fun I just gotta save this one to embarrass a certain colorful Sarge, with My Front Bottom! LOL! 🤣👍 Maj. Tamre' Colby
Wow, what a memory rush. The first song I learned on the recorder in Mrs. Bingham's 4th grade music class. We played it for our parents at the school's Christmas pageant that year.
@peachespears1528 I don't have one myself but have access to a beautiful one which gives me a lot of pleasure and hopefully in return I give her a lot of pleasure too. Lots of women think the front bottom is ugly, to me it's a precious thing of great beauty.
Very well done and raised a smile. It's a modern fake, of course. With that voice, looks and lyrics, a real Ms Pemburton would have a significant internet history.
Sound is probably too good to be authentic, but if you listen to authentic 1930's etc. recordings, the lyrics are very racy & full of double meaning, just as this is.
Sad to think it is a modern pastiche, I had hoped it was real, though that would have meant they invented sex in the 1930's not in the 1970's as I had always believed. Could find no trace of Agnes on the web so not looking good. Doh!!
People often look over Agnes Pemberton in favor of Annette Hanshaw when it comes to music from this era, which is such a shame. With all respect for Hanshaw, herself and Pemberton had completely different strength as singers. I feel like calling Agnes the "poor man's Annette Hanshaw" is pretty disingenuous. For what it's worth, I do feel bad for Hanshaw. She purportedly hated her work, and apparently the industry in general. Meanwhile, Mrs. Pemberton made it _readily_ apparent that she wasn't about to take guff from the industry. She actually publicly spoke about being taken off the 1934 _Radio Stars_ magazine poll for refusing to compromise her lyrics. It's a pretty damn shame that she got screwed out of getting a position in the top 4, I'm just glad it never seemed to make her lose steam. Once in a 1973 interview, Pemberton went on record saying, *"If I would do it again? Most certainly. I will admit that then -- in the 30's, I mean, perhaps they weren't prepared for that kind of openness. I used to see very derogatory news comics about how scandalous and promiscuous the young flapper girls were. And I thought, well, humans are sensual creatures, are we not? I suppose that did rub some folks the wrong way. But I would never compromise myself, for what I meant to all those young girls trying to find out who they were."*
For the benefit of those over the age of 60 who are unfamiliar with this channel, or the concept of reading video descriptions: No, this isn't real. It was never recorded or released in the 1930's or 40's. Agnes Pemberton as depicted is not a real person. This isn't a real song. Everything is cake. Enjoy it for what it is.
@pwblackmore Oh the cake thing, don't pay much attention to that - There was a period where lots of photos/videos were circulating online of seemingly normal every day objects, but then reveals its actually a cake skillfully decorated to resemble said object. Thus, casting doubt on the eyes of the viewer left wondering "If that was a cake, what else is a cake" I should know better and have grown up since I'm in my mid 30's, but evidently I'm not alone in enjoying the silly light hearted things in life whilst the world falls apart around me 🫣🫡
The backing sounded authentic, but what made me suspicious about it's authenticity was that "Agnes" is supposed to have come from Worcester. However, she sings in a Lancashire accent.
My granny, who was a chorus line girl in Agnes’s brief heyday, told me her sad story. She spoke out because I found this song in her stack of shellac 78s and played it on her old wind-up gramophone, out of plain curiosity, as you would with a title like that. She hadn’t heard it in ages, and became quite tearful and nostalgic. Agnes’s manager, who had worked for Parlophone records, had apparently duped her into believing that she was singing about the bottom drawer in her front room, and its contents, saved for her marriage a la Gracie Fields, one of her contemporaries. When the awful truth was delicately revealed to her, she was mortified, and humiliated about being made a laughing stock. Her manager made a lot of money from the song and moved on to work for Donald McGill, producing saucy postcards. Meanwhile, Agnes took holy orders and a vow of chastity, and entered a nunnery near Kidderminster. Sister Agnes did very well there and was much respected, until she was fatefully tempted to a fall from grace in 1955 by the notorious and lascivious Sister Josephine, of the Jake Thackray song, q.v. Humiliated once again, but by herself this time, she renounced her orders, went to Birmingham and became an itinerant alcoholic bag lady. She died in 1974 aged just 61 and was buried in Lickey End, not too far from her native Worcester.
Lovely story! I drove through Kidderminster earlier (It's the sort of place you drive through, not 'to') Had no idea about the monestary! Didn't they knock it down and turn it into a bingo hall?
Makes it as a spoof - only when I imagine the lyrics being chosen as "pop" I feel perplexed - why did no one ever say "front bottom" before? Wonder if she sang it after the record came out, or maybe it's all AI and she never sang it and it never "came out." What a world...this is cake? Funny!
On a flight to paradise and just approaching the landing strip, don’t want to hedge my bets but reckon we’re gonna make it together avoiding the bottom of the crevice 👍❤️
Just in case you missed the bit where it said so at the top of the comment section AND in the video description, AND the channel description, you're quite right, it isn't real, no. 🙂
She’s not beating around the bush
Certainly not around it, that's for sure
Hahaha
Actually she is !
Reminds me, must trim that privet.

Since humour has been abandoned by TV it has taken refuge on social media and UA-cam. Long live fun and comedy and freedom of expression.
Amen to that!

Was he on the pink piccolo? 😊

Agnes was a great entertainer in her day.. released by Gash Records if I'm not mistaken.
And later Minge Music too.
HELL IM ALMOST 70 AND I KNEW THAT
Keep up the great work love them all!!!!!
My Rabbi sang this to me in synagogue when I hurt my knee... Lovely man!
Wouldnt say Immam TOSSPOT !!!!!!!!
R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit serenade team would approve.
Agnes was probably R Crumbs' grandmother.
I recognized the tune!
Well they did record the song MY GIRL'S PUSSY. This could be the flip side...
@@rockabilly95 yep, it's just My Girl's Pussy from Harry Roy

Front bottom's rule the world. Its an honour to have one. Going out to all that have enjoyed a front bottom. PS.
@peachespears1528 I don't have one myself but have access to a beautiful one which gives me a lot of pleasure and hopefully in return I give her a lot of pleasure too.

Goodness gracious me!! I shall now view grandma in a new light!!
Brightened up my day. Great music and you can actually clearly hear the lyrics.😎
Glad to hear, thanks for the kind words my good Sir 👍
Wonderful sing along tune with lyrics that crack me up.
A very authentic sound.
As authentic as they came
I can't quite say what she's so happy about but its right on the tip of my tongue.
I tried to persuade my wife to sing this but she insisted I give it a lick first.

It's clearly influenced by a funny real 1931 song recorded by Harry Roy & His Orchestra entitled"my girl's pussy". She had a cat too,allegedly. 😸
Humanity is doomed.
This kept “Oh Lawks” by Cuthbert Daniels Penshaw from the number one spot on the hit parade for four straight weeks back in 1933.
Hot diggity! We get to hear her side of things after Harry Roy and His Orchestra completely plagiarized Agnes' front-butt jam.
Her ex husband. It didn't end well
Fantastic
Love it !
Of course, it's a modern spoof. Sounds authentic, though. Made me laugh.
Grandma used to dance to this when we were kids.
I'm glad while singing she doesn't clam up
Risque, yes. Delightful for sure.
Wide open talent.

Old Mrs Fanny Tweekmee - used to sing this if I recall !
Love it ❤
Recently found that today's music is not as frisky as I once thought.
Agnes was real and lived life to the full, oddly enough, to get to her front bottom you had to go through her back passage.
I'm over sixty, and cor blimey guvnor, I used to walk out with Agnes' sister, Fanny...
Well the stock market, the employment sector, the housing market and the dollar are all collapsing. But this cheered me up anyway 😁
