my word, how absolutly spiffing old boy. i first heard this at the Ivy in '24 and i must say, we raised the roof! oh yes, we were all completely MONGED on this wonderful stuff Cecil had bought back from over seas. and Lady Asquith lifted her gown and showed everyone she wasn't wearing any drawers and then St John and Timothy disappeared to the toilets for sometime and emerged several minutes later looking ever so flushed and then the local constabulary arrived about the noise...
Yeah, the only thing I remember about it was that it was in a white room, possibly with some antique furniture as props, the singer doing his thing and a variety of freaky looking performers. The one I remeber in particular had a gimp mask similar to one of the members of Slipknot - black leather or rubber with black 'spikes' coming out of it. I may still have it somewhere on VHS, I shall have to look...
what a fab video, i love this song and searched on youtube just in case divine comedy did an official video but your version is fantastic, love it, well done!
It can be be found on "20th Century Blues" a Noel Coward tribute album produced by the Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant supporting the Red Hot Aids Charitable Trust. It features many famous artists from Paul McCartney to Robbie Williams to the incomparable Marianne Faithful.

For me, this is always been the theme song to a yacht full of powder-headed, uh, boys of a certain persuasion....

Ha ha ha!!! I do believe you are quite right. After all, it WAS Noël Coward!

Oh, do grow up and just say "gay". This isn't the 1890s!

Noel Coward was known as "The Master" in the theatre world. No suprise that! Mrs. Worthington
