Eartha Kitt - An Englishman Needs Time (Live Kaskad 1962)

[BossBellini]

I still don't like Englishmen though.

[airjoe49]

While I may not agree with the needs of the nationalities, I cannot, in good conscious, give a negative comment to any part of this video. Eartha Kitt, you are a treasure that this man will remember for all times. Your very presence provided a light for every film you participated in. I may not believe in an afterlife, but if there is one, you would be an angel among man.

[ebonylustress]

i should ask my mother in law if it's gin indeed, lol

[angelialvares]

I'm hooked onto Eartha! Hook , line and sinker!

[1lordthorpe]

Iloved this as a kid, I knew it was funny and she was sexy but it really took this english man time to get the punchline. Thank Goodness the BBC didn't get it, or else we may never have heard it!

[michaelapontiki]

I adore it !!!!!

[didntdressfordinner]

Eartha Kitt at her absolute best: musical, funny, and slightly kinky.

Not sure all the traits of Englishmen are described accurately but the punchline is definitely true ;)

[temporaldisplacement]

An english gentleman will take either his time or settle to be seduced himself. But most englishmen are no different, if a little louder than most men.

[CinnabonChan]

She's right, Englishmen do need time...

You practically need a calender when you first ask one out.

[MelodicaHamburg]

All they need is a drink...

[marcusnns]

@MelodicaHamburg

So do I.

[Jehana]

God I love her!

[ebonylustress]

brilliant

[marcusnns]

nasty germans.

[CinnabonChan]

Swedes are some of the most beautiful people in the world (I remember finding a book of Swedish underwear models when I was thirteen, jesssus!) but they seem to be some of the most boring too.

And they build crappy furniture that's impossible to put together.

[marcusnns]

@CinnabonChan

How ironic. My mother was an underwaresmodel in the 60's and she's swedish too, and oh yes sometimes she's seems a little boring.

[CinnabonChan]

A supreme coinkydink! =D

[magiclard]

I met some rather charming Swedish women. Beautiful I totally agree. The yseem genuinely interested in all the minutiiae of the man world. :O)

[mrskaylee]

@CinnabonChan lol ikea

[meshachre]

Yep -- no kidding -- they DO need time, don't they?

[Memale2009]

The German needs time, too.

[nourakenson5]

What a playful lady, a fascinating life, a superb voice and naughtiness. Can anyone post "Hey Jacques, Have you Seen Louis"?

[langelapine]

i saw her live twice in london in the 80's same production, copy cat lines, such a professional! i apreciated this song even then...

[HaarrrleyFan]

This, like so many of her performances throughout her life, was pure gold! RIP Miss Kitt.

[fmsfryton]

At least some one understands us Englishmen everyone could come to appreciate us in .......... time ;-)

[meshachre]

This was funny and on target -- I sent this to my Englishman -- better than saying fe fi fo fum ... Bless Eartha

[m987612]

amazing!! if only the lyrics of today were as witty ....

[thedeathkitty]

@m987612 Ever heard of The Shins?

[futuredimension]

[1011375]

May she rest in peace! The world lost someone truly amazing today.<3

[trebblecleft]

Dude Eartha Kitt is awesome!!!

[xwsftassell]

It's all true, of course.

[FriedEggsandChips]

I love her laugh at the end, it highlights what I love about Eartha and her songs the most: the humour!

Thank you so much for this, and all your other wonderful videos. :)

[JanetteHeffernan]

Took my Oxford educated Englishman eight years! But it was worth the wait!

[FriedEggsandChips]

JanetteHeffernan: Heehee congratulations!

[VataniGia]

LMAO! I GUESS THEY DO..NEED TIME

[flo123456]

Truly formidable.

I love her.

[dilikdolik]

I am South American and my late husband was English and judging by him and the husbands of my girl friends this music is spot on! They really need time and that makes them even more adorable!

[dismissed7]

She was rappin'

[quizzlie]

Terrible... Swedish.

[fleecie]

ladies...let's contemplate

LOL

[thekingofmoney2000]

Why is that funny? It's a word, and I hear it quite often here in the U.S.

[fleecie]

hahahahahahaha

[totallybarefoot]

How I want to know the stories of the four men standing or reading their papers while Eartha sings her song! How on earth did they manage straight faces, throughout that? LOL!  Were they drugged, were they British?

[croink]

LOLOLOLOL to your last sentence =p=p=p

[bugstrut]

What year was this?

[robdavis65]

Eartha ... Truly inimatable !

[Hanefcik]

Great! She helps me every time I'm sad... Thanks for this video and it's great quality!

[TriniPhoenix]

[toomdavies]

[PAULLONDEN]
