I Don't Know This Song.

[1984aok]

My 5 year old son's fav song lol!

[friendofthejawas]

Yay Inspector Frost :p

[JA268]

@friendofthejawas  My parent watched Frost!

[demon1ify]

I was chief weasel in the play! :D

[Euanbuddie]

@demon1ify Am Toad :D very happy indeed :P

[robevanlover500]

@Euanbuddie I auditioned for Mole.

[robevanlover500]

@demon1ify In High Ability Language Class, we are writing our own interpretation of the script (I am playing Mole, my favorite!), but we also performed some skits as a class, And I was Chief Weasel in the Battle scene. I was Shouting "PLEASE SPARE ME, I'M THE CHIEF!", but my friend, (playing Badger) was like "Nice try!" and whacked me on the head. I (as a joke) went limp and stayed like that for the rest of the play.

[LargeMonkFish]

TUNE.

[Euanbuddie]

I can now proudly say that I am continueing the legacy of Toad. :)

[DrRevClarke]

OMG I still got this on VHS! Childhood memories :)

[tutanktunak]

BANG!

[Vincent777Legion1]

I think it's a delightful poem :)

and second it for our national anthem, as a few of our english football players seem a little toady of late ;)

[Jaliya48]

Please tell me when this was released and by whom? I checked IMDB and the only 'Toad of Toad Hall' is a 1946 TV programme (which I thought was this).

[Madpossum]

@Jaliya48 It's just called "The Wind in the Willows" and was made in 1983 by Cosgrove Hall, a UK animation studio. It's one of the closest adaptations of the book, and makes for some great childhood memories :)

[Jaliya48]

@Madpossum Thanks for that bit of info! It was shown here (Sri Lanka) a few years back and I wanted to find out if a DVD was available. Very entertaining, isn't it?!?

[DamienNeverwinter]

@Jaliya48 Yes its available =)

[kalimore]

@Madpossum A brilliant animation studio that sadly finally shut its studio doors down this year and is run by four people sad times but i got to meat the main animator for toad though got his autograph XD

[DamienNeverwinter]

@kalimore Thats awesome lol. Was he real old?

[kalimore]

@DamienNeverwinter in his 50s now he did the animation for the aliens in mars attacks as well as well as the character designs for the aliens them selves he all so said david didn't want to do the role of toad as he didn't feel u to it working with the other voice actors as well poor guy hes really nice and super friendly too

[DamienNeverwinter]

@kalimore Shame, but with his calibre i'd expect that hopefully the chap won't be out of work long.

[snb121]

its del boy

[ricardas83]

I love this series.

[hyzteria]

[sagamena]

[darkhyena]

We should have this as our future national anthem!

[JohnDavidHeptinstall]

I second that. Assuming you're British lol

[darkhyena]

Well, half :)

[djwash5]

@darkhyena WHAAAAT?!!

[windogmassey1]

@darkhyena That would be fantastic. SEMPER BUFO!

[Vincent777Legion1]

@darkhyena Well each land as a toad, might as well.

[littledrick]

[atat86]

is there a soundtrack available?!?! the things I would do to get a hold of that...

[animegirl677]

OMG I have this movie wow I have not watched this for years but I still love this song

[uhsfeth]

I've got this on my mp3 player...I always have to fight an urge to swing an imaginary sword when I'm going down the street.

[IcelandPride]

@uhsfeth, where, oh where did you get an mp3 of this? Spit it out man!

[uhsfeth]

@IcelandPride

Go to a media converting site and turn this link into an mp3! It's really easy.

[PoshLifeforME]

ha ha, wasn't there a bit when he actualy got home?

[jabbadibb]

Awesome song!!!

[4468446844684468]

is it Mr David Jason tha plays as toad????

[Dalek44]

Yes. He also voices the Chief Weasel.

[MINIUSMAXIMUS]

Sir David jason now

[DukeSeager]

one of the greatest songs ever written.

[wackydude09]

I watched this almost every week as a kid. I couldn't get enough!

[fallenwillrise]

me and my grandmother loved this feature film of the wind and willows claymation.

i havent seen the tv episodes though.

will anyone post the rest of this movie?

[florgeysteve]

They have some of the episodes online aswell as the two films.

[GS336]

I love this fims, and the series. Toad is hilarious.

[kukoskarsson]

this sounds like pink floyds the wall. It´s so much roger waters!

[mangahead21]

I can kind of see it...

[kukoskarsson]

yeah? Well for those who disagree with me..YOu´re wrong..I think about "the trial" and such songs.. I´m also pretty sure there is a song with a tune very close to this written by waters

[mangahead21]

I think you'd be better going for some of the final cut, (possibly fletcher memorial) stuff for comparison, as well as some of the sections from the rally and of course the trial, although im not sure whether he sang/acted the trial, i'm sure he didn't for the live versions.

[kukoskarsson]

Yeah I acctualy thought of final cut just after i posted the wall. the final cut is probably better .was thinking particullary about fletcher memorial home too

[fallenwillrise]

the wall has music like this ?

if anything i could see syd barrett touching on something like this, lyrically, and the rest of the band contributing from there.

barrett had such a vision for whimsical things, im sad he didnt work on anymore stuff with pink floyd besides Piper, and then that one song on Saucer

[kukoskarsson]

naa not barrett but waters.

[dave41184]

Epic Toad :) - David Jason is a legend!

[nicknakspeed]

an absolute classic,still as good now (on dvd) as it was when i was an even smaller child (on cassete!)....shame about the uncertain future of cosgrove hall.

[Dalek44]

This is soooo gr8 I sometimes act and sing to it.

[Dalek44]

David Jason (from Only Fools and Horses) was brilliant as Toad in "The Wind in The Willows".

[gibbitup]

Ha ha wow I remember this from when my parents brought the videocassette from England over here to Canada. I was just humming the song, some 15 years later and wondered if someone would put it up, and of course with youtube i wasnt disappointed. WHEN THE TOAD CAME HOME!!!

[stargirl266]

I was in a play of this and we had to sing this song! I was rat.

[jakep2k8]

The wind in the willows special is the original cosgrove hall programme. It was in 1983.

[rey1593]

[silvershark79]

[bradzmilne]

[AnimeNerdsUnited]

[Diggins]

This is from the 1983 Model TV Movoe of "The Wind in the Willows". David Jason (from Only Fools and Horses) is the voice of Toad. It was released in 1983

[Ninaluna07]

[Ositz]

Toad-BANG!

Ratty, Mole and Badger-SHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Madhatter1903]

Very funny indeed!

[SianMycock]

I see you also uploaded The Open Road. Are you doing requests ...? Only I loved The Incredible Mr Toad!

[BenBanjo87]

For all his friends' slander, Toad sings this song remarkably well!

[Zakerandsaisu]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER!!!

There isn't any chance you can upload the whole movie, is there?

[Ositz]

I have a tie with the near same pattern as toad's pants and vest.

[Madhatter1903]

Me too!

[florgeysteve]

I remember this song very well.
