The gasman cometh

[JapanYoshiTheGamer]

So... How many pounds did they spend...?

OHHHHH IT ALL MAKES WORK FOR THE WORKING MAN TO DO!

[Eardig]

I accidentally stumbled across this. I laughed and smiled. Thanks!

[monster0129]

Love the song to bits. First heard it when I attended boarding school and my roommate played it to me.

One tiny quibble, if you paint over the gas-tap, then it's the painter you want returning with some turpentine (I just had some bad experience with dried ink/paint yesterday myself at the office), rather than the gasman. Maybe the gasman has turpentine too!

[EXODUS750]

I heard this song for the 1st time when I was 13 on a British airways flight from South Africa. Fantastic.

[whatsthestoryamglory]

I enjoyed that :) still as good today as it was when it was written..

[1973nitram]

This will always remind me of my childhood living in Broxburn Drive South Okendon Essex in the 60s & listening to this and other tracks from my Mum's "Drop Of A Hat" L.P. It is such a long time ago now, but it is still fresh in the memories how does music do that? Lovely to hear this again after all these years. Thanks MDaisyC for posting and transporting me back in time.

[Darkboy2525]

[ainandil]

Dude this rules -- burn, baby, burn!

[connoisseurs]

it's so dry XD

lmfao it's so dry that it is to funny for words :P

[floatingdebris]

Finally, please search "miller armstrong" to see the Flanders and Swann 2000+

Chocks away!

[floatingdebris]

This is a wonderfully put-together homage to them. Check out the other highlights of them on this site. I found it a delight to see them "alive", live, in other clips.

[floatingdebris]

To rjr1967, "ineptitude" is

The quality of being inept; ineptness

[Check it out at the free dictionary]

So, we're both right.

[floatingdebris]

To mammutly, by 'eck does it not.

Flanders and Swann were the greatest pre-televisual comics. I was brought up with them on vinyl through my mother. My complaint was merely to highlight the lack of quality control made by the majority of writers/contributors to sites like these, not just this one. No offence intended, merely the hope that those responsible might take note.

[rjr1967]

This song is brilliant, and the photos help well to illustrate the lyrics. Thanks!

[mammutly]

floatingdebris, might I suggest you are being a tad too fussy. Tis true a word was spelt wrongly but does that necessarily 'ruin' the 'excellent homage'? Lose not your sense of humour in pursuit of defence of unecessary exactitude.

[floatingdebris]

Just a shame, once again in these days of adding videos here there and everywhere, that the quality has plummeted. What day is Saturaday? An excellent homage ruined by laziness? Ineptness? Spell check, spell check, spell check.

[rjr1967]

don't you mean... ineptitude? (sorry, couldn't resist that)

[ajslwallis]

I have worked in the building industry for thirty years now and this song sums up the compexity of planning and carrying out a project very well. Seaking as an electrician I would get someone to look at your fuse box, I think it has seen better days. Great video, well done.

[elseibi]

[adamwestrulz]

[tskaface]

More flanders and swam please... laws of thermodynamics would be great if you've got it.

[MDaisyC]

sorry don't have that one.

I might do another one but the problem is witch one to choose

[PatMcHugh]

Very well done indeed! I love F&S! Too bad there's not much of them on youtube.

[BlackTallon]
