In the street, in the shower, in the sitting room: I sing a lot of songs. I butcher a LOT of songs. I've never, ever heard anything which perfectly simulates the way I sing Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson (both parts). Fla-daa-de-zum-de-zum-daa-zoo... I know French and Saunders so weeeeell.
Hello to anyone who is checking this out because "Chess: The Musical" is currently touring Australia in 2021 and want to make a 'comparison' (AKA, this isn't as good as the current tour, but it sure is funnier!) :D
When Elaine Paige and the other one sang this originally I believe to her royal Highness the Princess of Wales and Charlie I wonder what her royal Highness the Princess of Wales was thinking at the time Charlie probably thought oh I I must ring Camilla and ask about her horse 🐎🐎 but this these two interpretation of it is hysterical and having been brought up in the country every talent show had a rendition of I know him so well even today I have nightmares
Has anyone seen the 'Blake's 7' parody that French and Saunders did - quite a few years ago - on their series? I've been looking everywhere for it on UA-cam, but so far, no luck. If someone has it, please please please upload it.
Dixon and the other one ; you know what’s her face page are quaking in their boots 🥾! Lolz 😂 Actually I'd happily bet both Jennifer and Dawn could handle this song quite well if they weren’t trying to ham it up.
These two are the most real example of true friendship you will ever see on television
The look of terror on Dawn’s face when she realizes before the words come out that she doesn’t know the lyrics is priceless.
Best version of this song! They are the best!
Ive watched this so many times, but lose it at 1:38 - 1:55 every time
Happiness is a French and Saunders clip I’ve never seen before.
Having seen many an earnest rendition of this from teenage girls at village talent shows in the late 80s and early 90s, this was scarily accurate 😄
Oh how I wish I could have seen those! 😂😂😂
First 30 seconds captures accurately the pumped-up superciliousness of how popular music is often approached in performance.
Certainly if Andrew Lloyd Whoopee has anything to do with it
Ahh Jennifer can actually belt a tune and she proved that in shrek 😉
@@chrisiswherenow no…she actually sang in that movie…
Two amazingly talented women.
Will never get enough of Jennifer's singing voice
I would love to spend a day with these 2! ❤️ them and have watched them for years!
Classic! I used to have this on VHS. It's still funny.
Fantastic duo,id love to see a Christmas one off... love Absolutely Fabulous 😍
Jennifer can sing and Dawn can dance really well! They could have been anything so talented.
yup, time for my yearly watch of this amazing clip!
"Looking back, I could have played it differently..."
"Differently..."
"JUST ME NOW!" XD
Dawn. Amazing. Did that just with her voice.
Dawn french is so pretty and funny 👍🇬🇧💕

I'm in tears watching this
I recently had a holiday and there were two elderly ladies… OMG they were F&S characters in the flesh 😂
The humour is so relaxed and pleasant but still funny

Comedy legends, French and Saunders for comic relief 2019 they helped start it all .xx
Dawn French, the original Mirandasings 😂😂
Dawn french looks a bit like Alison moyet here
Fantastic stuff 😍
Queen Fan Forever ironically, she was mistaken for Alison Moyet in the Vicar of Dibley
I thought Eddie Izzard
She actually pretended to be her in their sketch show
Funny you say that as they are actually best friends.
and of course she's IN Alison Moyet's video for Whispering Your Name and is hilarious!
Hah this is a good example of me singing with my bestie and hogging the whole song 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is sooooooooo funny! Dawn reminds me of Jack Black!! Prrrt ta ta🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyone seen their Corrs parody? Has me crying every time !!!
The brother getting no attention 🤣🤣
"That is microphone technique." "That is a biro!"
It's perfect (& wonderfully bonkers)
LOVE these two!!
I love this
french and saunders are so amazing
I do wish they'd accept an honour. They need to realise that making people laugh their arses off is worthy of being honoured!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dawn has SUCH beautiful eyes!
Nobody punctures pomposity like French and Saunders.
Genius! Funniest ladies on the planet!
OMG! Never seen this - thanks for sharing. There is a similar performance from the 1990 Live tour video, but this is better quality!!
You're welcome!
That needs a DVD release
Yay for this! Never knew Jen could sing, did know Dawn couldn't!
Check out Shrek 2! Jen is a great singer, only one so good could do it so badly...
They were brilliant in their heyday!
This is the definitive version.
more than 25 years old...Diana sat with Charles that evening...
I bet they knew that meaning of that song
When Elaine Paige and the other one sang this originally I believe to her royal Highness the Princess of Wales and Charlie I wonder what her royal Highness the Princess of Wales was thinking at the time Charlie probably thought oh I I must ring Camilla and ask about her horse 🐎🐎 but this these two interpretation of it is hysterical and having been brought up in the country every talent show had a rendition of I know him so well even today I have nightmares
The best, at their best..
0:43 when she sings “prevented me” sounds so much like fairy godmother.
I have never seen this before. 😂😂😂💖
Crying here....so funny !!
wish they would have shown Diana's reaction.... too funny
Always loved these two
Wow they both actually have a good ear!!!!!!
French and Saunders were/are brilliant
I love Dawn's Microphone Technique
'Just me now'
So talented.
Love Dawn French, she's mad ! Very, very funny.
"BRPPRT-duh-duh?! I've never heard that word!"
Made my day
Wow... Jen can really sing. (Although she's singing in a silly way here).
Just gotta love um :-)
1:38 is the funniest moment
Hysterical!
No me canso de verlo 😂😂😂😂

Amazing pair
That's what we do when we don't know the words.....
The first time I watched this I hardcore cringed when Dawn missed her cue 😂😂😂
Amazing and so funny
Jen had some coaching dropping the t from time is something we learned in Madrigals in high school.
This is STILL fucking hilarious.
Wonderful! Does anyone have a link to their ABBA spoof? Lost it somehow.....and I'm heartbroken.
@ras613pa - dawnfrenchvideos.com/french-saunders/french-and-saunders-take-on-abba-and-they-totally-nail-it/
For a spoof, it is a really good song.
@@shellc THANK you SO much!
@@shellc THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love when Dawn misses her first line 😂😂😂
Just nodding 😂😂
Both fine looking women back then.
While not perfect, Jennifer can actually sing!
"Brr dah dah" 😂😂😂
Dixon and the other one ; you know what’s her face page are quaking in their boots 🥾! Lolz 😂 Actually I'd happily bet both Jennifer and Dawn could handle this song quite well if they weren’t trying to ham it up.
Jennifer French can sing. Very pretty too.
Jennifer French 🤣
❤️
Smeggy smoo smoo smoo
Let’s do a duet on karaoke.. me and my best friend!!
3:25 true, she does look thinner...bless her
4:40 LMAO
Has Dawn ever played Eddie Izzard?
I had this on video. What is the name of the stage. show that I can buy on DVD
Tut tut!!
They performed for Charles and Diana?!
Yip!
Lalanenenunu😆 Help
Britain still dosnt have a female doubble act like French and Saunders.
Definitely 2019
Same
Watches was just watching all their old clips. Can't be good old classic pure British comedy...
Dawn French looks like Alison moyet, good looking bird wasted on lenny Henry.
😅😅😅😂😂❤❤
Didn't Dawn French do this with Susan Boyle for comic relief?
Ouch.
Camilla is sat next to Prince Charles at the end 😬😬
Looks like Diana to me.
margondine no the one on his right
Great catch! 😂😂😂
What year was this?
Guessing late '80's
The hair do and the ear rings tell it all.
What disaster performance i play....
I really wish that fake laughter was not used
I only know Dawn from Vicar of Dibley and Harry Potter. She's much slimmer here! Wish they had sung much worse ti make it funnier!
Fun?
Taking the piss out of the heirs and succesors to a Lord Russian Emigree musical aka JLW.
