月光ソナタを弾くHugh Laurie さん、最高。(^^)

[drmacola]

what is the song hugh plays at 3.17?

[TAfan2]

@drmacola it's called "Heart & Soul"

[drmacola]

@TAfan2 thanks

[sXePunkV2]

[Serious voice]Berlin in 1924.......LMAO loved that, and Moonlight Sonata is gorgeous

[MissChessur]

Would anyone happen to know if the song that Stephen first plays is an actual song? I would love to learn it. :)

[paxemilia]

@MissChessur That's "As Time Goes By" from the movie "Casablanca". My mom used to make me play it on clarinet when I was a kid. :-)

[MissChessur]

@paxemilia

OMG! THANK YOU! You're the best! ^ ^

[HorseCrazyGrl167]

Hahaha. Whenever Hugh plays the piano on ABOFAL, he always ends up getting hit by Stephen XDD

[sjoes]

They're so effing good together.

[fmc1973]

I love Stephen moustache.

[iamoneilly]

[HUNDOLOS]

Yes, it is, it's the Moonlight Sonata. Quite famous, actually.

[matgunter]

[glittermerchant]

PLAY IT AGAIN SAM....the brilliance

hugh laurie belting it out and stephen looking miffed...pure comedy

[aleksecond]

HOUSE MD!!!!))))))))))))

[AShelf]

I just love how drunk-Hugh just totally upstages Stephen!!!

[wildwoodsrule]

The end of the bit where Hugh blows up Stephen's tacky drama bit by changing the tune did me in, I can't stop laughing. Thanks!!

[ldhenson]

I've been a fan of them for years, and somehow never knew that Stephen could play piano! Well I've learned something new on Youtube today.

[strictlypiano]

Yes... I could weep!

[everyonelies42]

haha hugh drunk!!! TEE HEE

[pppdc55]

i loooooove the mondscheinsonate :D. and fry really pronounced "friedrichstraße" brilliantly xD xD xD.

[LARRYGNOME]

Play it Again, Sam

(5 seconds later)

That was brilliant, play it again sam

[girl43]

AWESOME !! when Stephen started with "Berlin.." I nearly died of laughing to much ..

[pasfresh123]

what's he quoting? Berlin Stories by Isherwood?

[girl43]

I don't have the faintest idea ..

[welshdevondragon]

I don't think its a direct quotation but that's probably the impression Stephen wanted to give

[hughstephen4ever]

i could weep... lol

[phemyda94]

Stephen looks like he's actually playing the piano but I saw him play in Jeeves and Wooster and he was clearly miming, so I don't think he can... how did they manage it?

[deadzoner]

Maybe he had some lessons from Hugh... :)

[thechaos44]

@deadzoner Now that's a sweet image. Laurie teaching Fry to play piano =]

[15Ceri]

He can play the piano, he mentions it very briefly in his autobiography.

[15Ceri]

He can play the piano, he mentions it very briefly in his autobiography.

[tamarahigham1493]

He can play it, but Hugh can play it better, and Hugh writes music, which is why he is the one usualy playing.

[Catherine3234]

It mentions it in his Autobiography, he can play, but for his own pleasure, when he knows someone else is listening he can't keep playing.

[viennapianoplayer94]

@phemyda94

No^^ He is able to play the piano, I saw it in another clip : ) In fact he is really good at it!

[hadassah179]

That's too high do it do down there!! XD

[rudiecantfail13]

i think its from 1989....or around that anyway

i love it....BRILLIANCE

[LCuddyMD]

Thanks.The sketch I know is from summer/fall 1989. I think this needs further investigation ;)

[rudiecantfail13]

definately =) i have it on dvd...season 2? pretty sure. it makes me laugh every time =P

[LCuddyMD]

I have the translated version on video somewhere. :)

Have to go look for it. Want to know if he gave credit to Hugh and Stephen. Might post it on youtube if I can get it into my computer.

I sooo want the ABOFAL on DVD!!

[rudiecantfail13]

i found season three yesterday! i was so happy =) now i have the first three seasons. I didnt think we'd ever get the third season on dvd over here so i was really surprised to see it

a very good surprise though =D

[LCuddyMD]

That's great! Congrats and have fun watching. :)

I know that I can get the complete collection of ABOFAL from our amazon. Now I only need the money to buy it ;)

[RENTLuVersoccer]

AND HIS VOICE IS SOO SEXY AND HE IS SOOO FUNNY!!

I truly am in luv with this man :D

Everythign he says makes me giggle :D

Hugh is AMAZING!!

[LCuddyMD]

I cannot believe it!! I didn't know Hugh and Stephen did this sketch! I only know it from a German comedian. He's done a one on one translation of this one... What year is this sketch from?

[KAT65]

la did ee dahhhhh...

[rudiecantfail13]

LOVE the ending hehe

[HNCS2006]

They are such a great combination, each have their strengths, they just enhance each other!! Great Pair.

[RequiemForADream412]

I love it when Hugh plays piano. It's so gorgeous. As is he. ^_^ Those two are amazing together. So hilarious.

[Queen0606]

Hugh Laurie playing moonlight sonata is amazing...

[meganater04]

I love this song!(moonlight sonata) im learning how to play it right now.

[sydneylocks]

wow, i didn't know fry played as well, he's pretty good

[deadzoner]

He's miming. Hugh plays for real, though.

[sweetaliena]

Stephen Fry is playing for real.

[LamentedxSoul]

Yes yes he is xD

[Valygarx]

"That's Beethoven that is." "Is it really?"

[Piangi]

Yeah Hugh was actually playing, but Steven is nearly always faking at the instruments. That's why they're great together, I guess!

[RequiemForADream412]

Oooh, that was great. Hugh makes a good drunk. Haha. And I love how he went from Moonlight Sonata to Heart and Soul. Ha. Brilliant.

[deardayna]

You know this one lol :)

[281197]

OMG ! It's already mentioned in the title of this vid: Moonlight Sonata

[AngeFIN]

What's the name of the piece before that? The "Berlin in 1924" one.

[deadzoner]

Moonlight Sonata.

[zinuka]

moonlight sonata?! You think about?:)

[Lucchetti]

moonlight sonata 1st Mov.(Beethoven)

[sugarnut]

Bethoven's moonlight sonata

[281197]

It's Beethoven. But I don't know the name in English only in German.

[puccini999]

oh, why thank you p0lym0rph!

[puccini999]

this is driving me crazy, what is the name of the tune hugh starts playing right at the end?

[p0lym0rph]

You mean right at the very end? It was 'Heart and Soul' (performed by Hoagy Carmichael originally).

[fallingidol]

I believe that's "Heart & Soul".

[AlexandriaM]

That was great at the end with "Heart and Soul."

[dreamer20k]

oh my gosh hugh is hysterical...im glad he and stephen set this thing up

[non2002]

I think that Stephen Fry can play the piano - or as from his autobiography, he is able to bang out notes on a piano, as 'anybody can'. But you are right, I don't he is playing the beginning part.

[Seiyuu]

Not that I'd ever doubt the talent of Stephen Fry, but I don't think he's playing the piano, at least in that sketch, EJayneH, just my opinion.

By the way: laa-dee-dee-dah~ my pretty onee! that's brilliant, who wrote that one? everyone knows that one, I can't remember it and it's killing me, it's my favourite XD hahaha

[JethroQ]

hahah that was soo funny. Ya me too! They should have played heart and soul!

[homegirrl]

I want to see Hugh and Stephen play the piano together!!!!!!!!!!
