Winchester Cathedral

[612gideon]

Thank You !

[duqmiguel]

Let's go get some Ice Cream!

[ch1narider]

i love LW even as a little kid...every one was smiling and playin an instrument ..it had an impact.. i became a Deadhead

[Txboy85A]

Oh goll, the LW show had some okay people singing, but I think they trashed out alot of songs by speeding them up, or adding a polka beat, and having these girls with heavy Southern accents mess up phrasing.

[nickelback1955]

@Txboy85A  Quite right.

[iverar]

Ugh....what a god awful rendition of this song...the New Vaudeville guys are light years better. 

[SweetJaneofGoth]

I wish someone had assassinated these assholes.  They ripoff a UK band and then say their shithole cover is their biggest hit. I wouldn't have sex with these assholes for a million bucks. And that includes the girls. Someone should blow the place up.

[soulwam]

Those were the days when people could make their own entertainment.......

[markx64]

If you play this backwards it says "vote Nixon" over and over

[MrBuc128]

You didn't do ANYTHING.[Not nothing] the song sucks enough at least use proper grammer!!

[calidj4u]

Great Song!



[bobthegolfgod]

AAAAACCCCCHHHHHH! OMG! I just hurled. This is just awful. I always hated Saturday night when my grandma used babysit and watch this shit.

[BlankfrackCripledFUK]

@bobthegolfgod you were conceived to this shit dude.

[Drbarrelroll369]

this is the song that i would play if it was instrumental, cuz if it had lyrics she would be like who is this winchester cathedral!?!

[w3442]

My Grandfather used to whistle this song.My Sister an Me,lived with them when my Mother passed away back in 1965..The year he was whistling this song was like 1972..I had stayed with my Grandparents for summer vacation..My GrandPa would whistle this song when we would go fishing.He was a wonderful man..So I give this song a 10.Even though I find it kind of silly.But..My Grandparents liked it an the show an I loved them both dearly..To all the negative comments.Try writing a better one yourself !

[SweetJaneofGoth]

@w3442 You asshole. They stole this song from a UK songwriter. And they suck.

[surreal12]

@SweetJaneofGoth The song was written by UK session players - when it became a hit they looked around for a band to front it and approached the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band ... who declined, except for one member. The recording band was called The New Vaudeville Band fronted by by Bob Kerr [see Bob Kerrs Whoopee Band] ... who was ex of The Bonzo Dog Band ... Google Bonzo Dog Band - you will love them. Best regards ... [Vivian Stanshall is my god}... now read on ...

[moosey62]

Funnier than the original!

God bless Americans!

[pecheleleaw]

Ok, I love going to YT, not for the horridly rude, ugly or disgusting comments, but the comments that leave me laughing on the floor!! Thank you everyone who is making me laugh!! The 'Tea Party" one-these are great-I was feeling bummed, but now I can't stop laughing (isn't this video enuff?) My grandmother made me sit thru this stuff. I have one ?, why the heck is WC bringing anyone down????? Sorta like 'he ain't heavy, he's my brother'-wth???

[FinalScoreProducts]

You may not believe what this song REALLY means. Find out at the blog SongSense.info. Seriously, I'm not trying to sell anything.

[rhinestonegirl1]

I agree with snobbyknot. When I heard this version I felt just like vomitting! Seriously! OMG! I'm speechless!

[jayrod59]

Leave it to Lawrence Welk to screw up a great tune.

[edwardeubanks]

Simply horrid.

[edwardeubanks]

Just horrid.

[seasonsarechanging]

phalus

[nickatdusk]

This is the type of music the TEA Party uses to attract the younger generation to it's flock. heh....

[FinalScoreProducts]

It's a crime that you never hear this on oldie stations. I only heard of it through late night CD infomercials.

[jbjindra]

My good god those singers are gorgeous. Sigh.

[spewgilist]

horrid

[markx64]

you can not get more white than this. I feel like kicking my own ass after watching it.

[5OClockVegasBlue]

@markx64 Lolololololol!!!

[1948bola]

Horseshit.

[markx64]

I played this backwards and all it kept saying was "kill whitey" over and over again.

[Stewmeister99]

Aces for sure.

[snobbyknot]

definitely feeling ill on this rendition.

[genogeno1234]

possibly the worst rendition of any song (let alone this one) I have ever heard.

[revrod22]

oh terrible version.

[joeyablon]

what a great version of this song...love it! it's very exciting!

[tripjet999]

Yecch! to this milktoast version!

[xmobster5]

great song!

[Sinatr1fan]

lame compared to Frank's!

[dancebandleader]

@Sinatr1fan Frank recorded this tune? Interesting! I go for almost

everything Frank did. You probably know more about Frank's output

than I do. Do you have Will Freidwald's book?

[DrakeBell260]

I love this song

[JoniStudent25]

la la la..this has been in my head for years..oy vey

[veroooom]

My baby left town,,, one of the best songs ever .

[veroooom]

Winchester cathedral would have fallen down but some diver worked under water to reinforce the foundations . (in 1920s i think) God bless him for this song.

[heymantake5]

I had been thinking about this song lately, though it had been I think years since I had heard it. So I thought I would look it up on youtube and here it was. Thanks for the memories Boys!

[muppetspuppets]

love it !

[gabri112]

A spasso nel tempo 2 4ever!

[tommyfuller78]

this was a song in the mid 60s and the point is?

[Horrowfilmfan]

wow wow wow my Mother had this 45 record and I hated it! HA!

[ouiouimoi]

This is creepy.

[BadCamera32]

The music wasnt bad maybe welk could have spent more money on wardrobe for his singers...YIKES!

[mskelley]

I just don't understand the premise of this song. How was the cathedral supposed to prevent this romantic setback? And why is that dude singing through the megaphone?

[visaman]

The man is in denial, so he just blames the first thing he sees, which is the cathedral.

Why is the dude singing through the megaphone? If she sang it over top of the megaphone, nobody would hear him.

[professoratomic]

The megaphone bit comes from the 20's.

It was the style that the New Vaudville Band was emulating in the 60's

Same goes for the lyrics.

[overruler5]

nice video! xD

want to do it all night long with me? baby come see me xoxo. 97

[pinkicedancer2]

i mom says that my that my grandma sing this song song all when she was little except my grandma said winchester cathudie

[tonysshadow]

Say what you want about Lawrence Welk show..I remember some mighty fine ladies on the show...my oooh my!.

[SweetJaneofGoth]

@tonysshadow Listen needledick, I'm a lesbian and even I wouldn't strap one on for these turdy bitches

[suspectdevice71]

The three girls singing this song were once kidnapped by an insane zorastrian dwarf who thought he was a musketeer. Dr Chares Follen McKim Maloney negotiated their release using the very loud haler seen in this clip. When asked if he needed a bigger loud haler he replied "remember I'm negotiating with a dwarf"! The dwarf later became Maloneys butler and shoe shine boy.

[locobuick]

The "lost" Dr. Charles Follen McKim Maloney loud haler used on the insane zorastiran dwarf is said to be hidden someplace inside Winchester Cathedral.

[suspectdevice71]

I've heard that too, and believe that a team of Maloney scholars from Finland lead by Jurgen Friedland are planning an expedition to Winchester cathedral later this year to search for it.Jurgen has a theory that it may be used in a device he plans to build that will locate the whereabouts of the doctor. His theory is that the doctor is still alive and living in the remote jungle of the Island of Komodo.

[visor109]

That guy looks like Norman Fell. (Mr. Roper)

[ahoneanatwo]

This is a delightful song!

[industrialfan71]

This is what hell must be like!!!!

[RedShenDragon]

now I know why I was picked on in school... I watched to much of this show!

I still love it... todays music SUCKS!

[bogtrotter52]

The guy singing likely wanted to kill himself after this performance.......It's a long way up from ROCK BOTTOM.

[onehundredthree]

Funny that I always pictured the song being sung through a horn - and here it is, exactly how I had imagined it. RIP Lawrence Welk - the prince of polka and king of kitsch.

[visaman]

I'm so desperate that the dude is looking good to me. HA!

[MrSnuffalupagus]

Ugh! I think some of the gayness got on me. I have to go and wash. :-(

The New Vaudeville Band version is the only one worth watching.

[mg5523]

Don't forget to wash your boo boo.

[rdisky40]

A dull version from New Vaudeville Band chart-topper. I prefer the original one... :D

[thefamilycat]

Was this a Welk hit? I thought the New Vaudeville Band had made No 1

Just another example of the great music from the U K.-song by Geoff Stephens who wrote The Crying Game

But why did America not latch on to the Temperance 7? They really DID use a megaphone!

[eddobanks]

If Lawrence Welk had failed as a bandleader, he would have made a good butcher.

[srf1969]

Did you know that all three ladies were singing this song at the beginning of the video?

[soccermonkey707]

nice outfits

[bluewingtip]

that "horn" is a megaphone

[eighttrakz]

I love that the horn he's using for the voice effect has "WC" on the side at the end.

[vicster1962]

This is soo bad it's good!

[cupcakechagrin]

wow...this is great

[seanboy316]

Wow...this is bad.

[serilopr]

looollllllllllllllllllllllllll­l

[Biniou7]

A great song from a great show that had great wardrobes... er, scratch that last bit.
