We'll Go Boating - The Wind In The Willows.

[worldcoup]

I used to listen to this before going out on Friday nights, and I'd listen to it again on Monday afternoons, after weekends spent unjustifiably in the cells. Anyone who dislikes this enough to actually click dislike is without a spark of humanity, and those who like it enough to click like are our only hope.

@cooljoemaz

You are so right! I love how he adds his own genuine dry ironic wit to Ratty´s part, this little mischievous sparkle every now and then. And his voice is like milk and honey anyway :)

[LibertineDeSade]

This is so crazy because I haven't seen this since I was a kid and this song is the one that stuck with me all these years. Thanks so much for posting it!!

[Froggen88]

@LibertineDeSade Same :)

@Froggen88 :-D

in the early 90s my neighbor knocked up for me to go to school in the morning and my little brother was watching this on TV and my neighbor thought it was the funniest thing for the next 10 years to say "We'll go boating" every time he saw me outside

[voiceofthegalaxy]

Aren´t you glad that we live in 2010??

i loved this but does anyone remember the movie which follows the story with toad going to prison and the weasles taking over toad hall? it is made by the same people as this. i'm trying to find the duck ditty performed by these people as it far and away the best version

ducks are a dabbling up tails all

[ArcticGamingLOL]

@lizphills

Its "the wind in the willows" 1983,

its the prologue to the series which has a good recap of it in the very first episode.

The entire collection might be avaiable online if you should google "The Wind in the Willows - Complete Collection"show and "isohunt"

Thank you for this post. I thought it long lost. I used to play before going on wild nights out. And I'd play it again on the Monday morning when the fckpigs let me out.

[GS336]

I love this series, and this is my favourite song from it.

[TheAntiPleb]

Aha! My sister and I are still obsessed with the song, some fifteen years after we first heard it.

[khachok]

So am I! My mother and I could recall the mellody precisely, although the last time we heard it was about 10 years ago. Until now, it was only in my childhood that I listened to this song.

[goodluckpeace44]

well go boatimng?

[windogmassey1]

Quite hard to play this by ear..for me anyway! thanks for uploading its a classic

[Rat8722]

I tried to learn the song on the piano playing

the song exactly how Ratty played it with

only four fingers. It sounded okay, but Ratty

is a wonderful pianist and accordion player.

[FilmTraum2]

This is so funny and sweet!

[Hemulen40]

Merrily , merrily ,

life is but a dream ...

[Rat8722]

I love Ratty's piano playing! the reason why I love Ratty! I enjoy hearing him sing and play piano! Ratty's the reason why I enjoy playing piano!

[petebj123]

This is a very McCartney like song!

[zypholus]

[grungerpie]

[WITWfan]

[octomonkey1980]

I think it's called "The Great Steamer"

[whatisitwhyisit]

i agree with (livworth) its been almost 20 years sens i saw some of the stuff ate youtube

[bweebwee99]

My Morning Prayer

[SianMycock]

I love this song! It's a very catchy melody and I love the way the youngsters join in. Although it always had a sense of unease about it, after the catastrophe with the great steamer in the episode, which scared me so much when I was younger!

[lilyworth]

My favourite aspect of youtube - reliving the best parts of childhood. And then feeling blue that I'm now 'a grown up' :)

[Rocketo99]

wow, flashback

[hifigi]

This song is such a huge subconscious part of my childhood. I just thought of it and HAD to find it on youtube. Thanks for posting!

[Rat8722]

You know what be cool? To have some of the

Wind in the Willows songs as ringtones for

the cell phone!

[Punki80]

Right you are! And I´ll do that when I get a cell phone that can play mp3. My old one can´t :-(.
