Micheal Bentine was probably the most sane of all the goons. His tv shows "It's a Square World" is shamefully forgotten. It's great, and it's very much like the early benny hill show's, very observational and innovative.
my "grandpop" does the "yingtongyingtonyingtong yong tong diddle i po" bit in the car when he drives me anywhere, couple weeks ago did it with my mate adam in the car now i make him do it every time, so hilarious, my mates at school know about it and now its like a private joke between us lads hahahahaha
the goons were a treatment for post traumatic stress disorder or "shell shock" but nobody had heard of it at the time just my opinion i could be wrong
As a big Goon Show fan, I'm more than privileged to have a copy of the last ever Goon show on video, and many many copies of other Goon shows, I like nothing better than watching honest to goodness true comedy genius at work in Peter Spike and Harry, all to often the word "genius" is banded about to talk about comics, but in the Goons case, correct
Y'know there was a time when electronics where in its infancy... and thank goodness for the goons... crAZy and extreme maybe but they provided a huge barrel of laughs as we all tuned in for that special 1/2 hour production. God Bless them all.
Thankyou The Goons for you fill me a sense of humour that this world no longer understands.
How about giving credit to Doreen Hume, the female voice. Doreen was the BBC''s premier coloratura soprano for 17 years and was good friends of the Goons. She now lives in Northern Ontario, Canada.

i have just found this.......what memories.......my aunt used to sit me on her knee even when i was in my 30s and this was our act at family gatherings..............weird but hilarious
I do not believe some of the crap I am reading. The Goons were a fantastic advance guard, experementing with new comedy ideas. They had all come out of a second world war situation and were just looking to bring new ideas into the post war enternainment scene. They were fantastic in their time and should be respected as such. Monty Pythons Flying Circus would never have existed without the inspiration provided by Spike Milligan in his later television shows, or indeed the original Goon Shows.
Im a 25yo male and LOVE the goons and most comedy from this era.. When i was at school i was singing this song (not in class) and my teacher told me to stop as it was racist and offensive. He even kept me back in after school.. Ive never got why tbh im 99% sure its not racist in anyway... >< Am i wrong?
@chubbylilloser WHY is it racist, silly, very silly little song and its racists? Anything teacher do not understand it racist. Not part of the curriculum, can not have anything that my prove you are a free thinker. Ying Tong Dilly I BOOW
@iansummerell A few days later i was talking to my friend about this song and the teacher. He said he seemed to remember the teacher saying it was about the chinese.. Lol He was an odd little man, hated when a any student tried to question something he had told them as fact nm HOW wrong he was. For e.g He once showed up a map of england and said it was 1200 miles from lands end to John o' Groats by road. One of the pupils looked up and said it was just under 900 (which it is) He got Detention.
@chubbylilloser My step daughter wrote about holiday with us in Wales, Shooting pigeons for farmers, she was ask to write about her holiday. So she did. Teacher Anti-killing animals and she got marked down. Could have made end of year marks look bad. Have a look at the modern curriculum, blue print for the left wing. I'm now having to de-bunk my grand children.
@iansummerell Im actully anti-killing animals, but that is disgusting. You cant mark down children just because they have diff views from you -_- They say schools are now all about free speech. While it is on paper, its far diff when it comes to the class rooms. Its still a dictatorship. I hope your stepdaughters marks turned out okay at the end of the year?
@iansummerell Also (random) He gave another pupil Detention after the student said he was an 'Agnostic' and not a christian. He is dead now.. so we had the last laugh :)...
@buckley54: It may have been issued as a 78rpm originally, but I had the 7" 45rpm version, and the song on the flipside was "I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas".
Just played this to my 5 kids. Their faces said it all. Couldn't believe their mum was raspberry blowing. Takes me back to being a kid and listening to my dad sing it, then with his glasses all awry, taking off Eric Morecome and doing their final skip/hop dance off stage. Happy memories.
@tuktaclarehayes You speak of Morecome and Wise..i have a wonderful VHS of them live on stage...never seen it on DVD...i think their manager paid for the recording as a present for so many years(anniversary) in the business..find it ...enjoy...Great British Humour...!bring me sunsine,,,in your smile
Anyone who thinks this is racist is, frankly, stupid. This was inoffensive humour created in the realms of nonsense- no hidden agenda, just in it for the nonsense.
@imowtflol It has characteristics of the period, but Spike et al almost alone invented alternative humour as we know it today. Huge originals. Get an education, because you're very ignorant of history! (Or maybe you have No sense of humour?)
@imowtflol You obviously have no sense of humour and are ignorant of history to boot. There would be no alternative humour today without Spike and co. True originals, who turned the decade of the '50s on its head. Get an education!
@samarian100 .. DOH aplogies 'sir' I just re-read your post and I get the joke now.. So sorry I must look like a right stoopid nana... Sorry again, your suttle wit flew right over mi' bonce... ;0)x
Cor Harry's raspberries are amazing, no wonder he was puffed out at the end of that bit in the song... 'Ying Tong away chaps, I'll be jing tonging with ya'... :0)x
@sqweels I think it was given to him in the army rather than claimed for himself but your right he was a crazy jazz musician as was Spike Jones and that was the inspiration
@sqweels I think it was given to him in the army rather than claimed for himself but your right he was a crazy jazz musician as was Spike Jones and that was the inspiration
i love it when it goes all fst and squeaky at the end! i heard this as a child and couldnt get it out my head, im so glad to hear it after all these years.
The BBC tried a TV version of the show, using puppets, in the mid-1960s but it wasn't a success because the surreal humour lay totally in the imagination. For instance I know exactly how my favourite character, Major Dennis Bloodnok - the venal corrupt immoral old soak, late of the Fourth Devonshire Cowards - looked but everyone else would have their own image. Visuals are completely unnecessary and in fact irrelevant.
@Gyphia And you are welcome to it. Thank you for the interesting insight into my personality. I'm crushed. Gentlemanly instincts prevent me from thinking of, far less expressing the wish, that you should go fuck yourself.
Wrong,Old Gal --we met in a dance class. Not being naive about women or immigrants I understand your dig, though. I met her at dance classes, having met many Hong Kong Chinese, male and female through dancing and found them to my surprise, to be very good company socially. She is an absolutely beautiful dancer, and we just danced together for months, both fighting the attraction for various reasons. Proper dancing is a spiritual thing, and ours merged in the dance.
When others dared to agree, the Lib-tards ( Bet you most of them never served, or were REMFS) warned me to shut up or get slung off--I didn't I was, no biggie I have a life. The good thing was, it showed the others who were open-minded that you really are a bunch of pathetic totalitarian scum who's arguments cannot stand up to rational scrutiny. As I said,I have a life so now fuck off, life's too short for spending a long time on a computer, especially with areoles like you, I'm done, bye
I only joined it to hear from those who now serve in my old regiments, but I made a reasonable comment on Paki flood relief and Lefty Gaurdianistas like you went ape-shit.( Continued below)
@Jigaboo123456@Jigaboo123456@fragman08 Hmm..I have a cyber-stalker. What a knob-end. The few postings (about ten?) I did on Army rumour service were not regarded as drivel by the majority of those who had posted( particularly those who had served although the usual right-on wankers like yourself took offence at free expression.
@crazymadwriter nor everyone who is talented or clever NEEDS to be a poof.
Neither does deep friendship between men require a perverse sexual attraction. Milligan and Secombe met whilst on active service in North Africa. Milligan claims there first encounter war when an artillery peice from Secombe's battery fell over a cliff and landed near his battery below. Secombe poked his head over the edge and shouted "Anyone seen a 25-pounder?"
What was Harry Seacombe all about? How did two Great British comedy icons manage to form a bond with that particular personage? I'm sure there's a fascinating story there. And I wonder if his later TV series "Take the High Road" was a cover for his homosexuality? In those days, you couldn't be Christian and a woofta. At least not on TV. I sight the example of Cliff Richard. Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure someone will point to his wife and three children.
@TheBelovedButterfly Bad as they are, the Tories would need to go some to be as bad as the nation-wrecking scum who preceeded them. The political classes are degenerate greedy opportunists following the psuedo- liberal dogma of cultural Marxism ie P.C. Most have never done a productive job in their lives, just politically generated crap. Shit, socio-political comments on a funny clip? I only went onto this to send it to my Chinese GF! Youand I need to get out more. Not together though.
@TheBelovedButterfly Yeah, but the chemist had given it all to you. You've OD'ed on the damn stuff, try reality . It's heading your way anyhoo, 13 years of Nu Liebore shit and the continuing E.C. diktat will see to that. Looked at your channel, you might have been cute a few years back. Not cute enough though, it's a shame when pretentious, self-righteous
I once heard an interview w/ Harry Secombe. He was asked - "You're a trained opera singer. Why isn't your voice more promoted in 'The Ying Tong Song'?"
"Because,", he replied, " I was pissing myself with laughter and simply could not sing my part. Except for the occasional yell."
@samarian100 ... I am a fellow Goon lover and I think you will find that the chap in the Middle is Peter Sellers (above the Mic) with Spike on the left (as we look athe picture) and Harry on the right...
Brilliant and so funny, there are a few posts of the guys recording a 'Goon Show' here on youtube, I have watched and chuckled away... This is the perfect way to develope a mature chuckle muscle don't you agree??? Regards from Wales :0)x

As Shakespeare wrote, a fool cannot act the fool. Milligan was a genius.

@Gyphia And you are welcome to it. Thank you for the interesting insight into my personality. I'm crushed. Gentlemanly instincts prevent me from thinking of, far less expressing the wish, that you should go fuck yourself.

Wrong,Old Gal --we met in a dance class. Not being naive about women or immigrants I understand your dig, though. I met her at dance classes, having met many Hong Kong Chinese, male and female through dancing and found them to my surprise, to be very good company socially. She is an absolutely beautiful dancer, and we just danced together for months, both fighting the attraction for various reasons. Proper dancing is a spiritual thing, and ours merged in the dance.

When others dared to agree, the Lib-tards ( Bet you most of them never served, or were REMFS) warned me to shut up or get slung off--I didn't I was, no biggie I have a life. The good thing was, it showed the others who were open-minded that you really are a bunch of pathetic totalitarian scum who's arguments cannot stand up to rational scrutiny. As I said,I have a life so now fuck off, life's too short for spending a long time on a computer, especially with areoles like you, I'm done, bye

I only joined it to hear from those who now serve in my old regiments, but I made a reasonable comment on Paki flood relief and Lefty Gaurdianistas like you went ape-shit.( Continued below)

@Jigaboo123456 @Jigaboo123456 @fragman08 Hmm..I have a cyber-stalker. What a knob-end. The few postings (about ten?) I did on Army rumour service were not regarded as drivel by the majority of those who had posted( particularly those who had served although the usual right-on wankers like yourself took offence at free expression.

@crazymadwriter nor everyone who is talented or clever NEEDS to be a poof.
Neither does deep friendship between men require a perverse sexual attraction. Milligan and Secombe met whilst on active service in North Africa. Milligan claims there first encounter war when an artillery peice from Secombe's battery fell over a cliff and landed near his battery below. Secombe poked his head over the edge and shouted "Anyone seen a 25-pounder?"
Jigaboo123456 1 year ago
What was Harry Seacombe all about? How did two Great British comedy icons manage to form a bond with that particular personage? I'm sure there's a fascinating story there. And I wonder if his later TV series "Take the High Road" was a cover for his homosexuality? In those days, you couldn't be Christian and a woofta. At least not on TV. I sight the example of Cliff Richard. Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure someone will point to his wife and three children.

While the Tories are in power and the lunatics are running the asylum, this should be the British national anthem!
TheBelovedButterfly 1 year ago
@TheBelovedButterfly Bad as they are, the Tories would need to go some to be as bad as the nation-wrecking scum who preceeded them. The political classes are degenerate greedy opportunists following the psuedo- liberal dogma of cultural Marxism ie P.C. Most have never done a productive job in their lives, just politically generated crap. Shit, socio-political comments on a funny clip? I only went onto this to send it to my Chinese GF! Youand I need to get out more. Not together though.

@TheBelovedButterfly Yeah, but the chemist had given it all to you. You've OD'ed on the damn stuff, try reality . It's heading your way anyhoo, 13 years of Nu Liebore shit and the continuing E.C. diktat will see to that. Looked at your channel, you might have been cute a few years back. Not cute enough though, it's a shame when pretentious, self-righteous
liberalism spoils a reasonable-lookin' woman.

I once heard an interview w/ Harry Secombe. He was asked - "You're a trained opera singer. Why isn't your voice more promoted in 'The Ying Tong Song'?"
"Because,", he replied, " I was pissing myself with laughter and simply could not sing my part. Except for the occasional yell."

@samarian100 ... I am a fellow Goon lover and I think you will find that the chap in the Middle is Peter Sellers (above the Mic) with Spike on the left (as we look athe picture) and Harry on the right...
Brilliant and so funny, there are a few posts of the guys recording a 'Goon Show' here on youtube, I have watched and chuckled away... This is the perfect way to develope a mature chuckle muscle don't you agree??? Regards from Wales :0)x
