Spike Milligan's " The Q5 Piano Song "

[TheDjinn2]

Hey guys, you're all fucking mad! (as compared to the idealism of "Normal"). Please keep at it, so I'll always know ' I'm not the only one'. We did and do love ya Spike. Please don't rest in peace, but continue to spread your genius throughout wherever you may be that we may all have something to look forward to.

@LeeJTurnock I have this as my ringtone ;)

[jwood36]

As mad as a box of frogs, and I miss him for it.

[Deluxeta]

GREEN GRASS o_o.

[steandrews1]

to be or not to be that is the question weather tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outragous fortunes or should I have hagis for tea?

[TheDjinn2]

Was my lullabye from mum each night, (with instruments)!! NOT kidding!!

[eviljoel]

@TheDjinn2 You have an awesome mum.

[TheDjinn2]

@eviljoel That's very true! I have exagerated a little, it was not EACH night but at least twice a week. Some nights it would be Monty Python's "I Like Chinese". Far, far cooler than the father of a friend of mine, he used to sing Roger Whitaker & Rolf Harris to his kids. Poor bastards. = )

[trouserclips]

@TheDjinn2 My mum used to sing the YingTong Song,(The Goons)

[TheDjinn2]

@trouserclips Ah, the YingTong Song, ehm, your mum hasn't a sister Cynthia (Cyndi) has she? Cos that was my mum's bathing song! Between you and I, I think she sung it to let us know her bathroom was occupied. But then again she's alone now and still does! We have some brilliantly funny comedians/ennes today, but none so mind blowingly surreal as these guys were. My kids are in their early teens and find them all absolutely hysterical! So, on our behalves. Thanks a million for uploading.

[mediumawlful]

@TheDjinn2There's a song that I recall,

My Mother sang to me,

She sang it as she tucked me in,

When I was Ninetythree.  :)

[HrhFish]

Expenses. Love this mad tune!! This has Zappa quality about it. I mean only Spike could probably play this tune! The timing seems out in places but its not. It sounds like he's just making it up on the spot but as Spike was an accomplished jazz musician you can bet everything is orchestrated to perfection. I've mp3 this and its my ring tone on my phone! Loads of people ask me what the hell it is!!!! I wonder if Spike listened to any Frank Zappa.

[DomDommett]

Trouserclips - can I get this MP3 please I am sick of being fobbed off with so called "free versions" of this. Thanks

[48trixie]

pity none of the Q series is on DVD

[trouserclips]

Hes late for his OBE, of the Queen

[gd070510]

Don't suppose anyone has any details about when/what is going on in the photo at 1:14? It looks like a fantastic Spike moment. Also how can all you people have this as your ringtones! If I did I would never answer my phone because I wouldn't want to stop it. Pure Spike genius

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

Ive been searchng for this tune since i was a small boy. Thank you for posting.

[throovest]

Greatest theme song of all time

[pompeypirate]

Love this song, it's going to be in my forthcoming pub quiz in the Music round for TV themes

[redoler]

Much missed. His mad, but spot-on humour is lacking nowadays.

- Is there a link to his banned BBC Q series, episode featuring a lady-neighbour's cat, [with a strictly non-pc domestic appellation].

- And his Asian subcontinent shoe-sale?

- Split my sides at the time. My missus too. 'Er Indoors.

[specopbill]

yes I remember this show...

[fuzzhypno]

What else is there to say? That piece of music is a legendary piece of music right there. And produced by George Martin of Beatle fame! Now that's classic nostalgia for ya!
