- Godfrey Daniel from ‘The Innes Book of Records’.
Original broadcast date: 5th October 1981.
“Anyhow, it’s not just doorknobs that come off in your hand”
A song first featured by Neil on Rutland Weekend Television in 1976. Nick Cabaret takes on the songwriting style of Elton John and Bernie Taupin and wins hands down! After the dirty outlaw blows up the saloon, Nick comes in, sits down at the piano and plays his song joined by the pantomime animals from the ‘Cat Meat Conga’ clip. - Комедії
I'm gonna perform this at the local open mic and say it's an Elton John deep cut, and NO ONE will question it.
Please do!
I'd love to see somebody really do that someday!
Neil Innes!!! R.I.P
the best song elton john never wrote
It was Elton John parody in Rutland TV show,
i know@@marguskiis7711
Most underrated artist ever
Why have I never seen or heard this before??? This is incredibly good and extremely funny
This is my new favorite song
Nick Cabaret remains enshrined in my childhood memories.
Ha! Loved this as a kid and always assumed it to be ‘God Free Daniel’
W C Fields would mutter 'Godfrey Daniel' in place of saying 'God Dammit.'
Even after I bought the record...
The most beautiful song in the world.
Yes! Oh yes!
Must be his greatest song ever, "All of them are great with some hidden meanings. I just keep playing this over and over. There's something of the night in this song.
"I believe in believin'..."
This song is actually closer to the story of the "real" story than Bernie Taupin's "Daniel." Bernie said it was inspired by a news story of a Viet Nam Vet that had a hard time returning to his old life in rural Texas due to his neighbors attitudes. Neil's chorus seems to evoke that situation.
A hilarious send up of the mindless, pretentious attempts at profundity which infect many rock songs. Savage. And yet, the style parody is so spot on, you can listen superficially and just ignore it all. Bravo! What a great talent Neil innes was.

The fantastic thing about Neil Innes is that his music is actually really good, and at the same time hilarious. How sweet to be an idiot.
touching
Keep singing this song! 😳😳😳😳
just saw the other version of the vid, with Elton wearing margarita glasses!!
Thank god(frey) for your HD version ;)

The UA-cam algorithm has incorrectly classified this as "country music" because of the coconut sound at the beginning.
Well it was made in a country possibly Britain . Does that count ?😼
@@rexnemo Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
😆
Neil could really turn a phrase or phrase a turn
HA HA! Nice.
This is the way politicians now speak.
I thought it was "God Free Daniel"

Neil's act can be so subtle that I wonder if I am reading into it sometimes. Example, this hair style and shake on the shoulders is VERY Elton 1977 and 1979 at 0:36.
Better version of song and video than the in costume EJ impersonation. Classic.
Maybe, but the cocktail glass glasses rule.
Let it rot
touching and most songs arent
PARKLIFE!
Anyone got the chords/music?
I know they’re fairly simple but I’m even simpler ☹️
Key of Cm/Eb
[Intro]: |Cm | G7/B |Ab Bb | Eb G7/D |
[Verse]: |Cm | G7/B | Eb/Bb | F7/A | Ab | Eb/G | Ab Bb | Eb Eb G7/D |(repeat)
[Chorus]: |Cm | G7/B | Eb | F | Eb G7/D | Cm F7(hold two extra beats) | Ab Bb | Eb G7/D |
[Repeat Intro ]
[Verse 2]
[Chorus 2]
[Intro]
[Verse 3]
[Chorus 3]
[Chorus 4] (hold on "wrong")
[Outro]: |Cm | G7/B |Ab Bb | Eb |
I think this is pretty much right. I think technically after the first chorus the G7/B is just a G7 in all the other choruses. Hope that helps you.

Oh Derek - You absolute star!
I’ll have a bash (And I use the term literally) at that when I get in from work. 🎹
Many, many thanks 👍
@@Pikestnt I just stumbled across this song yesterday for the first time, and I really like it. I think there's more to it than just making fun of Elton John. I'm actually a gigging keyboard player, and I might have to break this one out to play and sing next time I do a bar gig or something, especially now that I took the time to chart the chords! I hope you learn it!
Yes, it stands on its own as a good tune and very plausibly by Elton John. Some of the lyrics are deliberately silly (and I can’t help singing “Stormy Daniels”) but definitely one to add to a set list
Thanks again
Chris
Innes was a genius that proved to me Elton John was overrated.
Exactly!!!
I love both.
Billy Joel never sounded so good
Elton Bowie.
Laugh beneath the tears. Talant
Get Up And Go
Lennon advised Innes never to let Paul hear that song.
@@JJMMWGDuPree I read that Lennon warned Innes that "Get Up And Go" was similar to "Get Back" like an argument and holded copy of film "All you Need is Cash" in his privarte collection. How it's true I don't know)
@@SergeiTeplo This is another of those things that we'll never really know for sure. I was quoting from an interview with Neil Innes.
