  • 2 people didn't get their share of Happiness...

  • Love it love it. Just asking but does anyone know the chords for it?

  • A penis, a penis, thank the Lord I've been blessed, with more than my share of a penis.

    Only the gullable and naive can fail to see the joke.

  • come on you robins!!!!!

  • This was actually banned because ppl l thought he was singing "A PENIS" lol

  • @nitro70e No it wasn't . Stop lying to strangers to make yourself look clever.

  • @HairyBosch Pretty absurd come out there dude i don't need to lie to be clever but with that comment you've made urself sound dumb lol

    

  • @HairyBosch Erm....so you take the time to check on a website called"Amiright" (which proves that you're not sure whether the "fact" you've posted is correct), post a link (which doesn't work, incidentally) that proves nothing because there's no mention of the song being banned....but you're claiming victory......Life's too short. Let it go. The song was never banned and you, sir, are wrong.

  • This song creates happiness..so simple,yet so effective.Thanks for sharing such happiness.

  • just a little old song that cheers me up at times ,thought it might do to someone out there

  • this is stokes at the final whistle when they win UP THE POTTERS

  • Seeing this comedy legend tonight at the Sands Centre Carlisle for my 8th show

    See you tonight doddy

    He is long over due a knighthood

  • a delightfully (innocently? haha) rude man

  • I've seen Ken live about 4 times now. The first time I saw him, he came onstage at exactly 7.30. We went for the interval(!) at 10.45 (so the bar could actually open) he came back just after 11pm and remained onstage until 1.45am! Now that's what I call value for money :-)

  • Great song but it has sad associations for me.

    My uncle Frank killed himself and this was playing when we found him.

    God Bless Frank and Doddy.

  • puts a smile on my face every time and im 13 ;D x

  • We saw Ken at Torquay last week the show started at 7pm and went on till 12.30am with a short break at 9.45, this man is 83 years old he marched on stage banging a big drum and cracked jokes, told funny stories and sang flawlessly for 5 hours, a very happy night to remember god bless you Ken, a true legend.

  • this was played at my Dads funeral it made everyone laugh at the end R.I.P DAD

  • thank fuck we dont have tae listen tae this fucker anymore.

  • a simple song with a lot of meaning ! haha

    I've got happiness in my soul - brilliant, in the light of what it really means.

    How does Dodd sing so well with his tongue so firmly in his cheek ?

  • when liverpool beat united i feel like singing this to fergie

  • With more of my share of a penis....lol

  • @flashyboylawton exactly !

    "and I've got a penis in my 'ss'ole " hahahahahahah

  • Ken Dodd's dad's dog's dead.

  • The man is unstoppable; 83 and still laughing! A legend of British comedy.

  • been to see him twice with my granny :D

  • I think we all know that Ken Dodd's act contained inuendo unlike the OTT filth that is spouted by some of today's "comedians" Wonder what he was singing about with his other hit "Tears" Oh I know!!! drippy willy syndrome!!

  • @Scotsbell hm, well I have my doubts about drippy willy syndrome. Tears was written in 1930 by Frank Capano, whereas, I think, Dodd himself wrote the comical lyrics to 'Happiness' aka 'A Penis', around 1964.

  • @LifesVoyager well I suppose if that is the case it was done to titlate sad little men who keep their brains in their trousers :)

  • @Scotsbell whether it is to titillate or simply amuse, many keep 'their brains in their trousers' , whatever their mood, size or gender, and isn't that the function of innuendo?

  • I'm surprised that among all the comments here no one has pointed out that Ken is clearly singing about the human male genitalia. It is a clever play on the sounds of words, happiness in this context is a penis. There are other abstract perambulations in the lyric which the Freudians present here can argue about, but Ken is clearly singing about the three piece suite but without the armchairs.

  • Would it be fair comment to compare the great Ken with the Court Jesters or harlequins of the Middle Ages? For example, do not both exhibit deliberately absurd dress, wild japes, crazy hair, madcap humour, satire, irony and ridicule? Would it be fair to regard Dodd's Tickling Stick as a modern-day jester's sceptre or marotte?

  • @ContemporaryScience  No Ken has been flailing this thing for years knowing it is a penis

  • @deepindercheema ah well, I was getting around to that, because, if you take a look at the Harlequin's marotte you can see how it too is a representation of said organ.

    Those who think Dodd is a sweet innocent are fooling no-one but themselves. Dodd's act is crammed with innuendo. Call it smut is you're a prude; it is entertainment in the long-established English style.

  • We play this song every time England get knocked out of the World Cup!

  • GENIUS!! THANK YOU KEN!! I GIVE U ALL MY LOVE, AND WISH YOU GOOD HEALTH!!!

  • i love this song meeting ken dodd in 5 week at sands centre in carlsile after the show i got front row seats i cannot wait

  • As a life long Elvis fan I just have to say you don't have to look like Elvis to be a great singer.

    Doddy and I have a lot in common as I'm sure you do too.

    No! not in looks but in our dislike of the TAX MAN

  • Anyone not grinning whilst listening to this must be totally cold hearted lol He's a complete family tradition my Gran used to go to see him in 50s/60s

  • Love Doddy

  • Comment removed

  • @LifesVoyager Don't see that "joke", especially when the rest of the song is taken into account, how is a penis an ocean tide, or a sunset fading on a mountain side, a frame of mind or a field of grain? Can't see it, and Dodd never used such smut in his act, I have no doubt when he sings "Happiness" he simply means feeling happy.

  • @TomTresh3  I don't see it as smut at all, but a brilliant joke perpetrated on all of us - well done to the man. 'Smut' is rather a matter of perception. As to the metaphors mentioned, well, who would have considered a train entering a tunnel as signifying intercourse were it not for Freud?

    Was his act always totally innocent ? I really don't think so ! haha

  • @LifesVoyager Show me where Dodd confirms this joke? I don't think such a veteran comic and showbiz legend would pefrom this song with children if it was about sex.

  • Comment removed

  • @TomTresh3 having to explain a joke rather defeats the amusement, doesn't it. But if I have to spell it out: yes, on one level it is a totally innocent, saccharin, sickly sweet and banal song, suitable for all levels of audience. On the other hand it is full of innuendo to amuse us if we see it.

    But if you choose to pretend it is not there, no problem.

  • @LifesVoyager I'm not pretending anything, just looking at it properly. Innuendo is implied, not made up. A double meaning only works if it works throughout the song, not if it works for one or two lines.

  • @TomTresh3 you miss the point, sir. See my comment on Freud.

  • @LifesVoyager I have missed no point at all. The fact remains it dosen't work in the way you claim.

  • @TomTresh3 never mind. Enjoy.

  • @LifesVoyager *hands award for most pointless reply*

    Did you know "O Holy Night" is actually a song about going out on the piss. Just look at that Freud argument.

  • @TomTresh3 never mind. Enjoy.

  • @LifesVoyager You've already got the award son, no need to keep posting drivel.

  • @TomTresh3 never mind. Enjoy. :-)

  • @LifesVoyager You've won the award son, no need to keep posting drivel. :-D

  • @TomTresh3 never mind. Enjoy.

  • @TomTresh3 It will possibly endure as Dodd's best joke. See Jimmy Carr's book The Naked Jape for an analysis of jokes and joking, as well as other enlightened comments here. Keeps me chuckling, a sense of humour is vital, I feel.

  • @LifesVoyager No so keen on Jimmy Carr. Prefer comedy.

  • @TomTresh3 lol. Like I said, SOH is vital.

  • @LifesVoyager Yes it is. That's why I like comedy and not Jimmy carr.

  • @TomTresh3 Yes, Tom, you made your point and missed mine lol.

  • @LifesVoyager No, LV, I made my point and it was bang on!

  • @TomTresh3 lol missed again !

  • @LifesVoyager Nah, the only one who has missed anything is you. Eejit!

  • i never knew kenn dodd could sing like this

  • The guy is 82 and still touring - 4 hour shows as well - if he wasn't a scouser I might even like him.....

  • @elkavox83 he is on again this year 16th october 2010 i am going again and i am hopefully meeting him he sould be knighted

  • God bless him? simple song? No profanity? The song is a lot more tongue in cheek than you might think. Listen carefully!

  • @oraclemeters Don't be ridiculous. There isn't a single phrase in that song with anything resembling an inuendo or anything else for that matter.

  • @Scotsbell Well said. People can pretend this song is about something it's not all they want, but they have nothing to back it up. We could all pretend anything is full of inuendo by making things up.

  • @oraclemeters exactly, sir. A most amusing joke.

  • Did Gordon Brown take a smiling lesson from Ken Dodd, when he smiled on You Tube ?

    It might be true or perhaps a conspiracy theory.

  • Ken Dodd for Prime-Minister and the compulsory re-opening of all the jam butty mines close by the previous administration. Join the Doddy Party today (LOL)

  • This is one of the true comedians!!! one that doesnt need swears or sick humor to make people feel good inside, MJ was the king of pop...This man is the GOD of hapiness :D

  • hes my great uncle

  • Your great uncle is fantastic - tell him that from me please, or tell him to look on YT. He's a brilliant bloke
