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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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 :)
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.
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.
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....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know it's nostalgia, but poor old george would'nt get a gig at a eskimo debutants ball these days. Our idea of talent in 'the good old days' was bloody deplorable. His voice shits me off for a start, a whining wigan prick playing a ukalele he got out of a wheatie box. He should have been drowned at birth!
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
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.
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.
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.
