david mitchell singing on i'm sorry i haven't a clue

[thomsonfly645k]

does anyone know where to find the episode where Tony Hawkes sings the theme from the muppets show to the tune of a whiter shade of pale

[SerPinkKnight]

Wow, now that's a serious contender for Jeramy Hardy's crown

[boblflef]

@SerPinkKnight Every time Jeremy sings I think "extraordinary rendition"

[ffishfinger]

British Comedy.

[stevolution666]

one that actually works, David is great wit, his talent with words shows in how he makes this scan

[arr5612]

He is good at singing.

[collapsablecreampuff]

I hadn't heard the original before listening to this, so I googled it. I vastly prefer David's rendition.

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

He actually doesn't like music and doesn't own any. I don't understand how anyone could hate music.

[DoctorWhomSurely]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs He doesn't hate music. He's just not that interested. I'm not much of a music-person either, but I won't high five someone in the face if they play a catchy tune.

[philaphobic]

it was cute how he managed to basically stay in melody but his range is about 5 notes :P he is so wonderful. thank you for posting this!

[swordfish1929]

He's not great but at least he's not Jeremy Hardy : )

[DRGeoduck]

Why do I have the feeling that the 1 dislike is from David Mitchell himself, mortified that people are listening to his singing?

[eleriel]

that was truly terrible and brilliant at the same time! hard thing to pull of that. me hat's off.

[gshack93]

haha amazing!!

[QueenDeaconite]

Oh wow, awful, yet brilliant.

[GEErardwayy]

Quite shocking! Thought it'd be worse!

[DaveRelph001]

Lol this was funny, liked it when his voice started to go on 'well' near the end.

[qhsperson]

We in the US can get I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue on BBC Radio online; I've been listening to it for several years now after an English friend recommended it and sent me the link to the website.  New episodes on BBC Radio 4, and old episodes on BBC Radio 4 Extra (used to be BBC Radio 7).

I miss Humph.

[PianoWizzy]

Be honest. He sings better than most people can. :P

[starspangledpants]

My! This is lovely, David is so cute. XD What on Earth is this from though? It's awesome :)

[Widmerpool99]

@starspangledpants It's a Radio 4 game show called I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. It's only been going for about 40 years.

[starspangledpants]

@Widmerpool99 Sorry pal, I'm afraid I don't get the station in the US... :p Thank you though. :)

[moshpotpaul]

Freaking Genius! Whoever came up with the idea = Brilliant.

Mind you, David Mitchell singing adds to it; he's usually such an unconfident person (not shy, but certainly not willing to put himself on the spot). Absolutely terrific!

[livstar93]

i am so utterly in love with this man

[livexlaughxlove1145]

Awwwww this isn't as bad as it could be. At least he's not tone deaf. :P And I agree, I do love him much, much more after this!

[badmovebaker]

This is brilliant.

[bobbiwib]

I didnt think I could love him more and then I heard this

[EdNortonisMineLol]

He murdered that... and I loved it :L

[MrRegenaldSimmons]

@Misishaxi How dare you adress me in such a manner. Soon I shall be prime minister. Vote for me in my video or you shall be crushed! David Mitchell shall be shot out of a cannon when I come to power and anal monsters will feast upon him!

[MrRegenaldSimmons]

What a fucking mong! David Mitchell is a grade 'A' Butt Pirate!

[iownagreyhound]

@MrRegenaldSimmons And yet you can be guaranteed that his wit and IQ exceeds yours immensely. So what does that make you in comparison?

[iownagreyhound]

@MrRegenaldSimmons Hahaha, good God I couldn't have asked for a more eloquent and well thought out reply if I tried, well done you should join a debating society.

[MrRegenaldSimmons]

@iownagreyhound Thanks... fucking arse clown.

[iownagreyhound]

@MrRegenaldSimmons Wow, it literally is like I'm having a conversation with a child trying to act like an adult. It's adorable in a "you need to go out and get a hobby other than racism and deluding yourself into thinking you're going to be prime minister" kind of way

[MrRegenaldSimmons]

@iownagreyhound Fool! You will perish below me when I come to power. 

[iownagreyhound]

@MrRegenaldSimmons mmmm yes I see that happening, what with all the information you know about me and the ASTOUNDINGLY high possibilty that a racist moron like you will come to power. Ah you do make me chuckle :L

[MrRegenaldSimmons]

@MrRegenaldSimmons Fucking arse goblin! You will recieve yours friend. You will.

[sherlockfan16]

dont you think david looks a bit like ed miliband in that pic?

[henrycrumm]

HAHAHA might just as well ben clooosed

[MrOlliewood69]

1 dislike who the fuck?!

[Migels123]

@MrOlliewood69 The guy was going for like but had a spasm on the last second

[MrOlliewood69]

@Migels123 nice one dude lol

[ohhellomynameislydia]

I love how keen he is!

[akugluk]

I so love David Mitchell. This is epic

[franinconverse]

Dead. Epic lol

[ettlz]

So, can someone remind me: what are the rules of this game?

[Aileendamen]

@ettlz sing the lyrics of one song to the tune of another.

[billse10]

@Aileendamen

right; other than that, there aren't many :) "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", Roberta Flack, to the tune of The Dambusters March? that's .. unique

[Aileendamen]

@billse10 I know right!!! brilliant...or at least unique

what about tony hawks: girlfriend in a coma tune: tiptoe true the tulips

[billse10]

@Aileendamen

I thought I saw a puddy tat ... to the tune Holst's Jupiter / I Vow To Thee My Country?

(followed by Girlfried in a Coma / Tiptoe, sung by Tim this time)

("Isihac live tour 2008 - one song to the tune of another")

[billse10]

@Aileen

and just to add,

YouTube GXkTHI79T-U

[Lucifer120793]

Awesome! How cute is he in this pic! xD

[DrummondsPoint]

My favourite part of Clue, just perfect! Bravo David!

[janeeyre1990]

He's just so cute. ^-^

[1100ema1100]

simply amazing! ;)

[goulygliu]

never gets old :-)

[yetanothergoodyfan]

He still manages to sound sarcastic when singing. David, I love you!

[lewisfrom1995]

MOAR!

[tenaninank]

I would pay fucking gold to see him do this live....

[casioexz1080]

ENCORE!

[StKildaFan]

There's no way anyone could do this without time to prepare. Hilarious.

[flakelorenz02]

David should sing more often!

[Yaddaer]

I'll stop laughting soon! ppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

[BronzeGriffin]

Quite excellent!

[nabiagi]

it's extra funny because he sounds like a muppet (so cute)

[MarxistKnight]

And then I wen't I went and spoilt it all by saying something stupid like I.. like you

[TheHappyChap101]

Haha ace! ;D

[comtraya101]

so ace

[rosiescott88]

Ahh that was wonderful. Everything he does makes me want to marry him even more. Have you heard Rob Brydon singing on ISIHAC? He sings like an angel.

[lucynaribola]

OMG, that was priceless!! well, he can't dance, but he can sing :D

[closeyegate]

This is amazing, and all the better for the wonderfully dignified picture of him. Nice.

[zuzik67]

may i ask where do you download this from? they don't make it into a podcast so i can listen to it for one week only ;-(

[MillionMoments1]

I played this about a million times last week!

[Lammington2]

Truly ruined a brilliant song. And I don't think I have ever adored him more.

[zeldagoblin]

@Lammington2 I know! Ruining The Muppet Show Theme is sacrilegious! :o)

[luvnatef]

So glad you posted this - the best 'one song to the tune of another' ever!

[amyvsmith1989]

Love this!

[goulygliu]

sooooo sweet, i love the nerves in his voice-i feel i may have 2 do anouther fan vid right now!

[tsamb7777]

Thanks for posting this - So wonderful in every way!!! XD

[derangedband]

haha! and i didnt think id ever hear him sing out side of "nightingale sang in berkeley square" :)
