  • @danbo1984 are u a retard, it's a ukelele, it has 4 strings, banjos have 5, he put the bit on the back that looks like a banjo to make it louder.

  • could someone tell me the ukulele chords to this?

  • How do you think my playing compares to george? What do I need to work on?

  • @CLASSICMONSTERGUY95, get yerself a banjolele lad

  • I think the same everyday! I see guys worse than me with hot girls and yet I seem invisible to women.

  • I'm a girl but I have the same question.I always see guys I like with girls who aren't that good looking or even classy. And I'm like =O, if guys like that like girls like those ...why don't they like me?

    Hmm...Maybe because people like us spend our free time watching George Formby. Yes, it's because we have taste!

  • One of the best

  • Funny, intelligent, historical and smutty. George Formby was a genius

  • Here is a question, looking at the uke he is playing in this video, what is the best uke for playing his songs: soprano, concert or baritone?

  • one of the best songs ever written

  • I've always asked myself the same question.

  • @4ingP

    Lol.I'm a girl and I do too...

  • @Ekumens You shouldn't have to, as long as you're nice and you respect a guy's masculinity.

  • im god

  • Comment removed

  • Haha @sgt.swaager....dude u get bitches i get class A women with an actual personality and great looks haha so i win

  • Does anyone know the chords to this doing?¿?

  • women done like me, and its always the ones that would fit in my trashbag the best... damn my luck >:])

  • Formby was a big time womaniser! funny song.

  • My song!!!

  • George Formby is awsome!

    Good honest family entertainment.

  • You guys suck. I get bitches all of the time. If I walked up to a girl and asked her to suck my dick i bet 500 dollars she would. You guys make me feel better about myself. Thanks =P

  • @SgtSwagger93 And since you'd have to first pay your bitch twenty bucks to do it, that'd be a $480 win for you. Great game you got goin' there.

  • @SgtSwagger93 maybe, if u promised to give her those 500$ afterwards...

  • CLASSIC!! Just love it!!

  • Pure genius coupled with proper lyrics. What a star. We have to put up with the talentless wannabes on the "let's make Simon Cowell as rich as possible X Factor rubbish". This man had it all! Even the Beatles bowed to his brilliance.

  • Simple- Charisma, respect for her, and skills in all the right things... you see?

    The woman will consider how she feels when she is with you, and if you are good for her or not.

  • The cool part about this tune is, that Georgy really doesn't know...ya gotta love him somehow...

  • Super Awsome!!!

  • love conquers all dispite looks. If ur with someone but always lookin over ur shoulder then its not right. We've all been there. Love shits on looks!

  • Hmm, there appears to be a verse missing from this version?? Good song though..

  • @myfavtipple Here goes:

    Now I went for a holiday down to the gay seaside

    I saw lot of things there being hidden by the tide

    The way the women romped around their menfolk in the sea

    Made me think that there was still a good chance left for me

    (chorus)

    Now I don't want to be nark

    But I saw a lot of things below the watermark

  • Im so pleased to see im not alone in listening to this video, and im so thankful my mum was a fan of his or i would of never looked this one up! Thanks for posting it and his other's.

  • This must be really Early.Its Magical.George unaccompanied and playing a guitar Uke!Brilliant and touching I think.

  • WELL BAD QUILITY

  • I feel just like this song.

    If women like them like men like those, why don't women like me. You'll see ugly ass guys with hot girls.

  • Top song,. (British singer songwriter & ex-Fairport Convention) Richard Thompson has done this live before now... was looking for that version but nice to see the original!

  • George Forever,the UX-agent in Norway helped sink TIRPIZ,therefore hated by Swedish Nazty Doctors,children of Karl-Heinz Loshe(was on TIRPIZ)

  • Cordero,

    get a life; George is about fun and recreation...as Ivor Biggun spouted. Life's too short to be serious!

    PT

  • haha, im a women and i totally agree. alot of women really piss me off when it comes to their choices of guys. but my boyfriend is broke and my friends say hes not even good looking, but hes the nicest guy ive ever met so i dont care :)

    i love george formby so much, this is a great song :)

  • on ur side all the way

  • You want to get a girl/woman looks are totally unimportant, I am living proof of that, just be confident, women like confident men who make them laugh. never ask a girl if she will go out with you, offer to take her out, as if it is obvious she would want to, she can only say no, doesnt hurt, Btw I am from Wigan, the same town as George, remember though no man alive knows more about girls than I do, and I know nothing.

    John

  • dote class all women the same i dote care about money jst lv music ok.

  • True this song is...

    I don't know why girls don't give most men chances! Just slags who look for money most of the time and break your heart...

  • I love it! Me to a T!...unfortunately :[

  • To me....All American women are the same: Greedy, conniving, and trecherous ho's! All they care about is money and if they say "I Love You", it means nothing....Two weeks later they'll leave you if you're broke and fuck your friend with a better job.

  • suck at life much?

  • Love this guy^^

  • Story of my life. I don't know why women don't like me.

  • Comment removed

  • i agree with this guy..women are rediculous..i dont smart ass comments from women either

  • i can relate to this song!

  • kids today would love this.

  • lol this is great wonderful lyrics this man was a genius.

    *****

    ATB,

    Del :)

  • good old george he is fantastic

  • hahaha good question

  • comment on george formby,hes got summat most special tele people ave got.brilliance.ive watched his films on and off for years..always reminds me of men and england and proud to be english....

  • i know how you feel :( women dont like me ether:(:(:(

  • Don't take this the wrong way, but if this :(:(:( represents your head I think I can guess why.

  • My fav george formby song and a pain in the ass to play on the uke chord changes all the time. I got it down tho - Lol :P

  • Oh yes, because the pathetic faux american nasal whine of todays pathetic karaoke pop idols is sooo much more professional...open your eyes man and tell me if the straitjacket music of today, where arbiters of taste tell you what to like, is better than the 20s and 30s when the whole popular music world was wide open

  • @scibby2 people were outcast for listening to anything new. not quite wide open.

    quite the opposite now, people seem to be singled out for old tastes

  • You've clearly never taken a music history or understanding music class.

  • Oh yes, and the Beatles crooning badly performed take-offs of American fifties rockabilly in their oh-so-dulcid Liverpudlian tones are more worthy of our admiration than this man who wrote, sang and played some of the cleverest and most enjoyable songs ever recorded? I think not.

  • Actually Scream'n, beryl, his missus, wrote most of his music(which reflected her dubious talent in lyrics). You can't say he 'sang' as his voice, limited to half the notes of one octave, could not in any way be regarded as enjoyable. His playing, was abysmal for anyone picking up a plectrum. By the way, I was in no way comparing Jud to the beatles, but I do think many of their songs and lyrics were superb and although they wrote crap, it was all swallowed up with their successes.

  • elghian: Are you really as uneducated as you sound? Many songs that George sang, he co-wrote with professional writers (the exceptions being those few songs that were written by either he on his own or one of his contracted writers). His voice has a range significantly greater than half an octave(for proof, watch/listen to 'The Mad March Hare' from the film 'George in Civvy Street'), continued ->

  • <- and his ukulele playing techniques, though simple in theory, are difficult to imitate because of the patterns in which they are put together to form a solo.

    So before posting derogatory comments about a performer in future, kindly take up the initiative to actually do some research and learn about them.

  • story of my life

  • Ha. His wife wouldn't let him. That's why he never kisses a girl in any of his films!

  • I bet ol George had hundreds of groupies.

  • I can answer his question in a few short words. Put down the ukele for a few minutes. Stop breaking into song randomly.

    Just kidding.

  • But the women love it when he gets it out, they admired his instrument. I think his problem was he never let them play with it, he only ever played with it himself.

  • hi mum. it's me, matthew

  • funny video.

    for a bit more ukulele

    click on the username above...

  • Actually, girls don't like me. I'm 17, and girls haven't even shown an interest in me. Let alone dated me.

  • Same here. This song is the story of my life...

  • Im right there with you Mark.

  • It'll pick up.

    No rush

  • @Higorillaz were in the same boat man no girl at my school like me n i have no idea why

  • Don't feel too bad. I am 36 and women hate me. I am not rejected I am just ignored. I have never known a kind woman ever. It hurts a lot y'know? But at least you are still very young. You have time to find someone. When you get to my age its a lot different. You begin to see dreams of family and fatherhood fade away. And have to accept that some men win and others lose. No matter good I do i ended up a loser in women's eyes. You have a future. At least you are not like me.
