I haven't heard this song since "2nd City TV". And it's still hilarious. Worked fine with "Horatio Hornblower" series. Uhhh, am I dating myself??? =Stefan=
This was one of Jack Andrews' favorite songs. He would play it often on his all night radio program, "The Bat Club," on WDJX-FM in Louisville, Kentucky. WJDX was the #1 (Arbitron rated) FM station in the market at the time. Jack passed away on July 29, 2010. He was 48 years old.
We used to go see an excellent band in La Cresenta CA called The Stark Hickey Band. They did this song, and I was always under the impression it was a Monty Python skit. I've been looking for this for years.
Bless you for posting this! It's surely one of the funniest little dittys ever, and your take on it using the Hornblower movies is inspired. All real men should be able to burst into this song at the drop of a hat...
ROLFrollerskates, I don't know how many times this or the "manly men" SNL sketch kicked in my head watching HH. Oh man, too much water and tea and orange juice.. gotta pee.
Absolutely phenomenal! I was rolling.

love this but it is Python originally no?
ginaswo 2 years ago
No -- the song is by Martin Mull. Read the description.
The Pythons did similar material like "The Lumberjack Song" and the "military fairy" drill routine.

Thanyou. I thought it was a very good match. The only hard part was doing the lip sincing.
glad you liked it.

Very clever job of synching the action with the song, considering all the hours of footage you must have plowed through!

Beautiful! So few remember that Martin Mull was a great songwriter!

that is true, and he is also a very good painter - works mostly with air brush and paints "super-realistic" strange fantasy things - look it up!
