In light of Mrs Mouskouri's comments about "Greeks need to pay their debts". I ask her to direct this question to the Germans, and tell them to pay THEIR debts to Greece!. While she is at it, she can ask from all the European countries to repay their debts to Greece, from all they have stolen and exploited from her. Mrs Mouskouri is welcome also to conduct a campaign on Greece's behalf for this purpose since she feels so patriotic in her swiss residence (:
And she gets to the eucalyptus tree....and her lover doesn't come. Inspired! Thanks for all the laughs you gave us over the years Benny, we'll never forget you.
This was in the 70`s. I remember it well. Sound is not so good and I am pretty deaf now but it was a song about a girl who went to meet her lover under a tree. And she was asked by 3 different boys in a row if they could whisper sweet nuthings into her hair and kiss her. But she refused as she was waiting to meet her lover. The English was ten times as long as the Greek song. And the joke is that in the end her lover never turned up.
Someone musy have the next sketch where he spoofs Moira Anderson. And also as Mary O'Hara, with her feet round the harp and stuck in a bucket of water.
I remember laughing at this sketch many years ago. I've just watched a documentary on BBC4 about Nana Mouskouri. In her BBC shows of the 60s and 70s she would provide long explanations for the songs she sang in Greek before singing them; this is hilarious. It's a shame Benny was killed off by the PC brigade.
@mysticmeg111 The "PC Brigade" refers to the "Politically Correct" brigade. In the 80s and 90s a new generation of British comedians including Ben Elton went on a crusade against old style comedy which they saw as sexist and racist. In Benny Hill's case he was seen as primarily sexist with the end of show chase involving scantily clad young females. Ben Elton was particularly vociferous in his criticism of Benny and in the midst of this Benny Hill's show was cancelled in 1989.
Anyone know if it was Benny Hill who did a sketch on Demis Roussos? He was sitting under his cloak with bellows and as Roussos walks away his voice went low, or was it Freddie Starr...?
'70s and laughed until I nearly ruptured myself. I Have not been able to watch Nana Mouskouri without laughing ever since!!! A very funny man Benny Hill, a very sad day when he fell off the perch.
Greg, here's a hilarious clip of Benny Hill spoofing Greek singer Nana Mouskori, you gotta remember this one from the old days when the show was on Channel 11 on late Sunday nights!!

@CNicol40 Is 'the PC Brigade' some kind of slang term for kidney failure? If not, why bring bigoted Daily Mail politics into it?

@tbc87 Ben Elton was one of the biggest critics of Benny Hill and he is about as far away from Daily Mail politics as you can get.

I just love Benny Hill! ... But I don't quite understand what the exact point of this mock-up is ...
I can only guess ... Is it that the introduction to this is song is ten times longer than the song itself?
