Brilliant! There's no one of the calibre of these entertainers around today. I remember Rolf Harris first doing Jake the Peg during one of his shows in 1969. I was young enough to think he really did have three legs!
With all of his wrong doings. I was sad to hear of his death. Rolph had a big impact on my childhood. He was amazing with a big paint brush. I was blown away as a kid.
Ah yes, for this man, he did have an IMPACT on many CHILDHOODS and was no doubt he used that PAINT BRUSH paint many portraits that it BLEW a lot of kids away 😂

Jimmy page. Iggy pop. David Bowie. Mick jagger. Bill Wyman. Steve Tyler. I could go on and on. All these stars, plus countless more, are well known to have been with 13 year old girls and not done time for it. Some can get away with it. Others can’t. The people on here bagging Rolf, if you’re a led zeppelin fan, or Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, stooges fan, you should be bagging them too. But, no, they’re allowed to do it, in your eyes.
that's why I don't complain about Rolf Harris, humans are flawed, all complain about him while they followed the most corrupt world cup and use TikTok despite the chinese crimes against humanity
As far as I know all those men you mention took advantage of underage "groupies" who wanted to have sex with said men, which is bad in its own right due to the power imbalance and lack of informed consent. By contrast, Rolf Harris had more in common with Jimmy Savile and Roman Polanski, forcing himself on girls who had no desire whatsoever to have sex with him, hence why he and Savile and Polanski are treated far more harshly, since their behavior can't be cavalierly dismissed with "oh well it was the 1970s" or whatever.
Harris was only born in Australia because his Welsh parents emigrated there. He hasn't lived down under for at least 50 years and his wife is also Welsh. He turned his back on that country and that country has turned its back on him. All of his Australian honours are gone.

In Denmark the actor and ventriloquist Kai Løvring did an alternative version called "Frode, med det ekstra hoved" - which can be translated to "Fred with the extra head". He would wear a suit with two collars and had the extra (artificial) head on his shoulder and it would sing the diddle part.
@@organfairy I bet your parents are really proud of you. In fact your mum loves you but she is also your sister and your girlfriend as well. You duelling banjos freak 😜🤣🤣🙈🙈
He also wrote and sang, ' 'Let me Abos go loose, Lou, Let me Abos go loose. They're of no further use, Lou, so let me Abos go loose.' Taken from the original version of 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport'.
Rolf's nightclub act in the mid-sixties was charming, rogue-ish, and hilarious. It's documented on three LP records recorded in Vancouver nightclubs and released only in Canada. I don't think his nightclub act is well remembered, but to me it may be his enduring achievement. And a slice of a brand of good-natured public humor that, sadly, can no longer exist again.
No matter what has come out since, Rolf Harris was a genius entertainer, musician, painter and comedian and his work should remain shown forever. I don't agree with abuse in any way, but I grew up watching this man on TV and listening on radio and his albums and singing and laughing along to it all.. He is a part of my childhood and his performances brought me joy, they still do and they always will.
It is. I remember having a costume book as a child. It gave a 3 legged man as a character. The outside right leg is false and operated by the right hand hidden under a raincoat that is advised to be two sizes larger than you would usually wear. It was a great book. Played a skeleton that disappeared on turning round. And a witch 🧙♀️ with Rice Krispie warts!
I am from Perth and worked just up the road from where Rolf grew up in Bassendean as a kid I marveled at his talent it is such a shame the way it all ended the way it did and he disgraced himself,,,,I am told his parents and family were decent people,,,So sad for his victims,,,
I'm thinking the right leg. The way he always keeps his right hand near his pocket makes me think there's something that he pulls to make the right leg move or something
I remember my first time seeing him perform this, a depressingly long time ago. I was obsessed with this song. I'm pretty sure I thought he did actually have an extra leg. I'm also sure I eventually found out how he did it, but looking at it now, I'm trying to work out which was the fake leg.
@@SamSciortino1974 I'm not denying that The comment I made is the character Jake the Peg that he created & because he has passed away. I was just saying that this video is now a memory to that character
My little bro is called jake, my family has alwaus called him "jakey peg" or just "peg". I thought it was from an old pirate legend this whole time. Just popped into my head to search its origin. Was not expecting this... 😬😅
@@numeristatech Eternal damnation and eternal torment? No, he doesn't deserve that. In fact, no-one deserves such a terrible fate; and one hopes that religion (which claims to be based on love) is just wrong in believing eternal torment in hell to be real.
What can you say?, how did Saville get knighted?, others have missed out for less haven't they?. My image of rolf had gone from two little boys, to the benny hill theme. You had to be there.
@@abrahamlupis9354 what a stupid comment ,sounds like your trying to say ,well he wasn’t that bad really only raped a few young girls ,so that makes it ok,
Very funny little song. Nice to see Rolf in happier times. Good on you son. Once you've appealed and subsequently been released, I hope you can sing this again on a stage and bring us all laughter again.
***** Don't hold your breath. He's being moved to an open prison with other over 80 year old sex offenders and the like. It will be more like a nursing home with flower gardens. They will let him have his OTHER favourite thing as well (apart from little girls) ; paint brushes and paints. He won't have Patrick McGoohan from 'Escape From Alcatraz' taking away his painting stuff !
Matt Maloney The CPS are treating subsequent claims (i.e. those new claims made after the verdict was announced) very cautiously. Apparently there are so many of them, that if all of them were true Rolf wouldn't have had any time for painting and singing.
Hunted and hounded by the wolves that be, to sell a newspaper. The man had talent and entertained million. Let him be, let him rest in peace. I always find it most sad when the worms crawl out of the woodwork years and years later. As they did with the also late great Freddie Star. The best entertainer the UK ever had. Let them be let them rest in peace.
