Paul's Dance

[robotechian23rd]

mermaid music in the cosmic seacave

[Vivzid]

i want this to be played at my funeral



[cunnamullafalla]

I dedicate this song to a wonderful friend, Paul Richard Colling who passed away in October 1995 in Sydney, Australia just a month before his 40th birthday. We used to listen to the PCO at work and we loved them.

[aaaaazure]

[yolo22]

this music gave me an eargasm.

Actually I think it is a Venezuelan Cuatro (the big wall-to-wall pick guard on the upper bout, the frets ending at the neck joint with the body, the slotted tuning head are all markers of a 4-string cuatro). I believe the tuning is unusual too. "It is tuned in a similar fashion to the traditional D tuning of the ukulele, but the A and B are an octave lower. Consequently, the same fingering can be used to shape the chords, but it produces a different inversion of each chord." -- Wikipedia

FANTASTICO !!!

[01herman]

nice!

[FeedsNoSliesMusic]

I can't help but think this sounds like Walking in Memphis, or at least the bit at the end does.

[TheHighlandCal]

Does anyone know what instrument simon is playing is it a baritone ukulele or a cuatro?

[madmadhatterful]

@TheHighlandCal its a tenor ukulele

[mrgruffy100]

@madmadhatterful you're both wrong actually it's a

[fahnke]

Delightful. This defines the word "delightful". Thank you for posting this PCO gem.

[avril2]

I video taped this recording in 1989 as it was broadcast.

It still sounds as fresh in its twenty first year.

[siberianmum]

oh, it is so funny and sweet, those facial expressions and generally - big guys "fingertipping"

[Nekauteful]

fantastic!

[craig7653]

This is featured on the Australian film "Malcolm"

[PICLex]

Great film!

[zxrgeorge]

That's the mane fo the film!!! I've been trying to remember for years. PCO music was used throughout the film, the theme tune is "Telephone And Rubber Band", and it was this film that put me on to PCO. Thanks, Craig, mystery sloved! :)

[novemberbravowhiskey]

A superb performance by two outstanding musicians

[a1rs0ftman]

heh nice song but its a bit fast imho

[stevies5]

Nothing we can do about how ones dish looks as we expound eh?

We live our music as we see fit. Picking up on someone's facial expressions, could make another person appear as a total wank.

[klakmens]

This SUCKS!!!!!

[seabix]

U do u wanker

[crayzeehorse]

Perfect music. I could listen to it forever.

[goacchino]

awesome

Inspiring how seem to have caught the spirit of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

[AviatorAndyK]

[Gsusrocks4eva]

I love the music and their faces are hilarious, i don't know why they aren't laughing the whole way through!!

[InternetTelly]

The guy on the right makes me laugh every time. His facial expressions are fantastic!

[sheilaskelly]

[zedrein18]

Why have I never heard of these musicians?! Brilliant stuff.

[Darryld1]

pair of acid heads who actually did something useful

[davetherave303]

their part of a group called the penguin cafe orchestra, great stuff aint it but that guy on the right is funny as lmao

[JumpJumpJumpJumpJump]

aww.. they look so happy at the end! makes me happy listening to them too.

[trumasterdawg]

If I could make nusic half as good as this, I would be a happy person. And I mean that.

[trumasterdawg]

By 'nusic', I of course mean music. As you were. ;)

[kennordine]

delightening! thanks for including me in your choice choices.

ken

[loucolman]

Great! Like slightly uptight English duelling banjos, but not, lol!

[grashiano]

Por culpa de este tema me compré un ukelele como el de Geoffrey Richardson! Es una maravilla esta interpretación de Paul's Dance, se ve que lo pasan genial!

Y así nos lo transmiten también a nosotros!

Qué grandes Jeffes y Richardson!

[MOURO62]

Simon Jeffes y Geoffrey Richardson interpretan extraordinariamente este maravilloso tema

[sheilaskelly]

the bloke playing the little one used to make me howl laughing still does 20 years later watching this video.

[mrotsdnal]

He does look a bit like Peter Mandelson on his first E but no faulting the quality.

[stillavril]

I know. What a prissy little poseur he looks.

But it works.

[FranciscoSmirsley]

How can a piece of music be so divine?

I wonder. . .

[dcownie]

I think they are both winners

[calum66]

I hadn't realised they were having a race. I suppose technically

[casanunda100]

Lovely piece of music....and the other "geezer" is loving his performance, as I did.

[STILLAVRIL1]

Great stuff.

Simon Jeffes is fine, but isn't that other geezer too precious.

Does he know what a w****r he appears?

[Laeuferchen]

Wunderschöne Musik.Habe das Penguin Cafe Orchestra erst hier auf youtube kennengelernt und bin süchtig geworden.

[conspicuouscoke]

Penguin Cafe Orchestra are the best.

[AFILETTAFAN]

HMMMMMMMMMM!!!! Makes me feel so happy :)

[teadrinker99]

Fantastic, so uplifting and enjoyable. I miss the PCO so much.

[fiorenza83]

This is my favourite one :-)

[M4DDISON]

thank god people still love to play this stuff long may you all do so im a fan till the end

[potodueser]

What a cute, tiny guitar! Great stuff. How do you pronounce "Jeffes?" Jeffs, Jeffys...????

[paralasalud]

love those expressions on the hammer ons/offs.

simon's amazing.

[RollingRonnie]

Wonderful stuff. Geoffrey Richardson of Caravan on silly faces there!

[MNX58]

Great facial expressions, superb!

[Zigither]

Beautiful!

[AndrogyneMichinaga]

Wow, thanks for posting. If I could buy this on DVD I would, as I remember seeing this programme on TV when it aired. Brilliant.

[calum55]

Please give us more of the PCO.Apparently there was a documentary. How can I get a hold of it? Can someone post it?

[calum55]

Completely brilliant. Simon Jeffes was a genius and Neal Rennies expressions are a delight.

[diogo505]

Fantastic... as always!!
