Mystery

[videogenic]

Please don't spell "hot" as "hott". Makes you look like you have an extra chromosome.

[Animalco]

@videogenic Or a few million missing brain cells.

[LuckTheLass]

lol

[Raqueeeeeeel]

Hugh is the best! I love his performance, not only in this video or House, but on every work he does.

Eu adoro ele!! =D

[Entroki]

I am just amazed. I can't believe he managed a repeat with the same exaggerated head motions 20 years later.

[Shelby596]

It's insane, he gets better looking as he ages! He's so sexy at 49, he'll be unbelievable at 55!

[petermizuho]

thats how we British age i still look like im 16 and im only 23 its a right pain buy the time i get to 49 no ones gona recognize me hehe but ill still look like im a teen besides hugh is one of the best British comedians he still is a bloody genius

[EllaFarworth]

Oh dizzam, no wonder why British boys are so hott. XD

[kezza249]

lol...my favourite fry and laurie song!! Such a genius!!

[kaira1ceili]

OMG!!!What a performance!! That man is fenomeno!!

[youngmoodyfan]

"Dead since 1973" is my favorite part. :-) I saw a much more recent performance of this song where he says "dead since 1993" and "14 years come next January" So I guess he changes the year every decade or so. :-/ At least anyone who can do addition can figure out what year he's performing in! lol

[HailErika]

lol

[riokowashere]

oh hugh.. i love you

[MadziaxMD]

I love this song <33. His voice XD haha.

Was it in '88?

Hugh Hugh Hugh <33 I love all his songs xD and Houseeee

[AriannaAzra]

'87, because he says 15 years next January from 1973. That would make it one year before 1988. I love this song too lmao.

[sopranophantomista]

He he he, I watched this on Inside the Actor's Studio with James Lipton (Humans behaving...humanly)and I cracked up. Love it!

[myungish]

he looks real dorky in this

[kooli2709]

OMG, i love this song, i love this man <3

"dead since 1973, you've been dead now.. wait a minute, let me see.. fifteen years come next January, as a human being you are history".. my favourite part !

[smalltownmurderur]

awesome

[TheParatoxic1]

nothing to say but AWESOME!

[sanditseverywhere]

its so hard to find other people who truly appreciate this song!! love it!

"airline tickets dont grow on a tree"

classic stuff

[bshieldsbb01]

Classic!

[LDgregg]

OK, for all you young-uns, check out Fry & Laurie (yep, that's Steve Fry from BONES). You'll also get a kick of Laurie in BLACKADDER and JEEVES & WOOSTER (Laurie & Fry team again).

[foreverseule]

Oh my god, I LOVE Jeeves & Wooster! That show is HILARIOUS!!! I love Wooster's expressions...he is so clueless!

[LDgregg]

Then, you'll REALLY love Laurie as the Royal in Blackadder series' (there were a few). Can you imagine Laurie and Rowan Atkinson together?

[foreverseule]

Oh my god, cool! I'll be sure to look for it.

[FLADIASFOCUS]

I love this man, I want to have his children. ;)

[mgreenwa]

I'm seeing a lot of Joe Piscapo, in this performance.

[dyoy19]

[MissDaelin]

Quite a shock! I totally fall in love for Dr. House, but his face seemed oddly familiar... then I recognised him from Stuart Little, that was a bit of a shock!!! And now to see him sing... dear me, I'm overcome!

[rain552]

awesome video, laughed so hard. definitely in my favorites.

[juicymclucy]

don't you think he Griff Rhys Jones here?

[kishithebadlampshade]

YES! I'm glad someone else sees it.

[hurtagain500]

he looks so odd cause he's younger...But he's still hawt. Just not when he sings this song like he does...

[TheXFiles1013]

LOL I like this version better than the one he did a little bit ago, but he is WAY HOTTER NOW then when he was younger, in this video! ~Snyder~

[danokat]

haha i know, but he is still an awesome man

[TheXFiles1013]

Yes He IS!!! ~Snyder~

[rockinpnay09]

[Ogadrak]

Thanks for posting this...like a lot of people (I imagine), I wasn't aware of this version until he sang it more recently on Inside the Actors Studio.

On that note, you might be happy to know that I just posted a link to this on my blog... :)

[Valygarx]

[irishgirl08]

[lucynaribola]

[ebbets1965]

[fantasysreality]

[Abby131]

This is amaze he should have stayed in comedy

[saintetienne21]

[samsooni07]

[Turgor]

Oh this is definitely one of the best timed comedy songs ever.. haven't seen it in years, great to see it here :)

[kind0blue]

"wait a minute let me see... 15 years" lol hugh Laurie isa the man!

[qpmomma]

I fall out of my chair laughing evertime I watch this!!

"Dead since 1973"

That line gets me everytime!

[Thraxwhirl]

The line that had me ROFL was "Taken a violent dislike to me".

LOL. It's one of the funniest lines in any song evar.

Thanks for sharing this.

Don't suppose you've got "Too Long, Johnny" as well?

[Mayzee1964]

His comic timing and intelligent wit are so refreshing

[Eowithrania]

"Estuary" and "January" aaaalways get me every single time... gotta love this guy.

[dsbs42]

the way he says january, i could not stop laughing

[taring9]

looks like one too.. love the eyebrows thing he's doing..!! love him.

[billiejoewhorshiper7]

[Kahdieh]

It made me laugh tears, really :)

[Alassinsane]

this is one of the most hilarious things i have seen in my entire life. HUGH LAURIE IS A GENIUS

[valerie102]

This made me laugh like a hyena.

[swimgirl28]

I love this. It is insainely funny. His part of this show is quite differant from House.

[Nyandra]

maybe because he's not House...

[swimgirl28]

i know that...i'm just saying its cool seeing him in another kind of part. I love house though.

[kimbo72]

"Estuary" always gets me.. this is the best song ever.

[TheDoctor4]

Genius. Hugh's best song for abofal. Amazing they didn't reuse it when they got the series.

[Valygarx]

He's a genius....

[hannahlloydMD]

this is so cool, my one goal is to learn to play this. i can play nearly all his other songs. garn.

[mos7wan7ed]

he just played this song on Bravo. somone posted it here:

[JethroQ]

[ringoffire1806]

genius

[IsilHelyanwe]

"I live on a house boat, which is useful for my work with the Thames Water Authority..."

Hugh Laurie pwns, especially on Jeeves and Wooster.

[writer616]

Dead since 1973!!!!

i LOVE THIS!!

[didoung]

Fan.ta.bu.lous! Go Hugh!

[mardy69]

He was always excellent.... miss his "soopytwist"!!

Ta!

[TitaSpecial]

I'm in loooooooooooove :) Here in Portugal I knew about Hugh because of cable tv, I've seen all the episodes of House season 1, and started to watch the 2nd season... I've been discovering his work, I've seen interviews... and he's amazing! His modesty makes him even more sexy... I love his blue eyes...

And he makes me laugh :) That's a great quality!

[Hot4House]

This song is awesome. Hugh is totally sexy, and makes the best faces while he is singing.

[gerasoras]

He sang this in INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!

mystery.......................­..............................­..............................­..............................­..............................­.............. CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL JOB!

Hugh's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

[masterofhugh]

I couldn't agree more - he's soooooooo cool ;o)

[IAMWA]

"Dead since 1973." That line always gets me.

[Wegason]

Funniest song ever

[masterofhugh]

I agree Wegason, I always listen to it, when I need to laugh/smile :)

[mu5icfreak]

hahaha! this is brilliant! thanks!

haha sometimes i think its a mysteryy haha!!

[masterofhugh]

lol; It's as if Hugh is talking on behalf of his fans, since we all love him so much, and he hasn't a clue why - he's so modest :)

[trinityj1]

I've been looking for this forever! Thanks!! XD

[masterofhugh]

your welcome, trinity!

[di00br]

LOL! This is so brilliant... Thanks for posting it! I've been looking all over for it since I heard he played it on his Actors Studio interview.

[masterofhugh]

I'm beyond thrilled that he chose this song! To say I'm looking forward to seeing this air on Bravo on June 4th, would be an understatment!

[LeboviciAB84]

Anyone else think he looks a bit like Joe Piscopo in this video? (Clue: no.)

[masterofhugh]

LOL. I hadn't noticed that ;)

[anissa11]

Can you trascirbe the lyric please? I'm spanish and there're some parts i can't understand :(

Thanks!!!

[LeboviciAB84]

I have updated the Wikipedia entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M­ystery_%28song%29.

[masterofhugh]

Thanks very much for doing that Lebovici!

[masterofhugh]

Hi! Since the focal point of this comedic rendition is the pronunciation, where for "admitst" Hugh means "I admit" - and uses the word "admit" to cleverly sound like the word "amidst", and again Hugh plays with the sound of "estuary", "insanity", and "January" , b/c it's not actually pronounced the way he uses it in the song, this will definitely loose a lot in the translation.

[masterofhugh]

Hi Annissa11

Since You Tube has a word limit, I can't post the lyrics here. I tried to make some links for you, but those don't seem to be working, so I invite you to visit my livejournal, where I will post the lyrics in English and Spanish :)

[boiledpotato]

Probably my favourite. Thanks for posting.

:D

[masterofhugh]

your welcome! =)

[masterofhugh]

thanks for commenting ;) I agree!!, and Hugh has many others from abofal, I have to search this site to see which ones aren't here, i may upload them, if they're not ;)

[ringoffire1806]

genius!!!!!

[gotbristow]

This is definitely one of my favourite of Hugh's sketches on abofl. Guhh... so sexy. :P Thanks for uploading this video!

"as a human being, you are history!"

[masterofhugh]

lol, he's brilliant! ~ your welcome!

[thereasonofbreathing]

Hilarious!

[masterofhugh]

I always crack up when I hear this too :)

[acertaintrigger]

Yay this is one of my favourite songs on ABOFAL! :D

[masterofhugh]

Hi! It's my favourite too!, thanks for commenting! :)
