I remember hearing this on Doctor Demento as a kid and hearing this was at the end of the Beatles, I Am The Walrus. For years I told people and they said I was nuts. Well now I found this and it is true .
My dad says the phrase umpa umpa stick it up ya jumpa and I now finally have found where it came from. He’s 83, song was made years before he was born.
Not mentioned above but John Lennon sings "Umpa Umpa" at the end of "I Am the Walrus". You can hear it clearly in the vocal isolation track in a video named "The Beatles - I Am The Walrus - Vocals" at 3:12
It's The Mike Sammes singers who sang at the session where the orchestra was added and arranged by George Martin. Leslie Sarony at 86 played a dooorman on McCartney"s film Give my regards to Broadstreet .
I thought that Tommy Handley had the chant ''Umpa Umpa - Stick it up yer jumpa'' in ITMA? But I was a small child. Any comments, please. MANY thanks for all your contributions.
limboigah: The phrase "Stick it up your Jumper" is also used by the Bonzo Dogs in their cover of Sarony's Jollity Farm, as a risque alternative to what the buck rabbit says. Clearly heaviliy inlfuenced by Sarony, I suspect it is his version that inspired them to cover Hunting Tigers out in India, too. namowal: It sounds like "Brongs" but I suspect it's more likely to be "prongs" than a reference to Ghanains.
Can anyone help me with the lyrics for the workhouse meal? "The grub was duff(?) and the meat was tough and the spuds had eyes like [ ____?] They said they were King Edwards but they looked more like King Kongs" That's puzzled me for years...

This was a phrase regulary used by my Grandad… along with "Nil desperandum / Tempus fugit" both immediatley translated as "Sailors Don't Care!"
Glad you enjoyed it.

He sings "stick it up your jumper" as well.
@@michelepaccione8806 If you listen carefully he also sings only once "stick it up your bum".

That is fabulously useless information, which I will never forget, Thank You.@@robertbrown7408
"I'm the walrus" brought me here,ha ha!
I love it
Thanks very much. This is so cool.
my grandmother says this phrase quite often! here's where it comes from, eh?
This was presented on "Dr. Demento" back in the early 1980's. 😆
Jumper is clearly a euphemism for "arse". Bawdy British humour sneaking one past the censor once again. Hallelujah!
Grinning🤗..... because I've got this tucked away in a box somewhere. Umpa was way more popular but I prefer Miss Porkington. 😎👏👏👏❗️

Umpa Umpa Stick it up Your Jumper is on the fade of I am The Walrus
Came to this from the Enter Shikari documentary))
The first record ever banned by the BBC !
Ha it's funny what we can get away with on the radio and tv today isn't it.
Neil Watkins That's pretty cool.
jumper = rectum (for those who didn't already figure that out) 😁
This comment section is filling me nicely with things I really don't need to know. Thank you!
I wonder if that's Ivor Moreton and Dave Kay accompanying the two singers
Weirdly enough I was brought here twice by two completely different groups: first The Beatles, then Red Velvet
I love living in the 21st Century
Is this the origin of the repeated phrase at the end of I am the walrus?
thoughtheglass Yes it is.
The phrase was very common in Britain back in the day and probably predates this recording. Nice way of saying get stuffed.
Leslie Sarony has another son, Neville, who is a highly regarded Queen's Counsel.
So that's where that saying came from!😂
Who plays piano on the B-side?
namowal: I'm not British but the word I'm hearing (and I think it would fit) is "prawns."
Prongs, better yet. Prawns don't have big eyes!
Prawns, cooked prawns have big lack eyes when cooked- so it's referring to the potatoes having big black spots on them.
Can anyone help me with the lyrics for the workhouse meal?
"The grub was duff(?) and the meat was tough and the spuds had eyes like [ ____?]
They said they were King Edwards but they looked more like King Kongs"
That's puzzled me for years...
Prongs. Prawns have little bitty eyes. Besides, they're only a near-rhyme.
came here from Red Velvet (":
