[willissowow]

WAIT FOR THE DROP !! wooomp wommp !

[cosworth6nut]

Wonderful - this takes me back. I had forgotten about it until one of my work colleagues mentioned it and now I cannot get it out of my head. Thank you so much for posting - what a fabulous tune :)

[GodLovesYouAndMe1]

this song is AMAZING!!!!!!

[TheWolfenstin]

you can see the doctor in the vid allot

[flyingdamingo]

Hi thanks for the upload I used to listen to Val Doonican this when I was a kid back in the late 80's lol and I completely forgot until out of the blue the other day.

[TheLeelad]

Hi Which Software Do You Use To Make Youre Vids Mate

[Rikkyhardo]

@TheLeelad yeh ... no probs. I use Widows Movie Maker (which is free in with your Windows operating system) for linking the pictures or vids with the music. All the image alterations are made in an old version of Paintshop. This was one of my first uploads so I have learnt a few things since this'un.

[Rikkyhardo]

@TheLeelad Windows Movie Maker not Widows lol

[zeak62]

First time I have heard this song.  Just GREAT. Thank You

[eddiebear100]

This song isn't too bad,and strange thing is i think I kind of like it.

[SuperBernie1958]

Sounds like some of the cars I've driven.

[Rikkyhardo]

Have a great St Pats Day

[alan59able]

[piwi3434]

[kayleegirl4]

@piwi3434 i only knew this song from about 2007-2008 when me and my uncle would randomly search through youtube vids/songs and just laugh... good times, maybe we'll do that again this year 8)

[piwi3434]

@kayleegirl4 that's nice, and yeah i'm sure you will :). i do that with other video's as well, i think it's funny finding a video that makes you laugh :D

[aldetect]

Loved the video and Val !

[alancastrian]

Ha Ha Great, 100%

[TheChutzpahGirl]

I nearly bought a car just like this, back in 1974. It looked like a sports MG, and it had been put together with a variety of pieces. It was very tempting, but we took life a lot more seriously in those days.

I remember standing in the car yard, with the used car dealer, and we all marveled at how it cost only ½ the price of a brand new car, and yet, looked so marvelous, and very romantic.

Amazingly, our State government registered the car. Oh, for the days or innocence and optimism.

[RomanesEuntDomus]

Hi Rikky. I just want to tell you that just as much as I enjoy the songs you pick to post, I also love your accompanying graphics. Well done mate. I eagerly await your next one.

[Rikkyhardo]

Happy New Year to you and All.

[cyeber2004]

Simply Awesome!

[phantomxr]

once again thankyou Rikky for posting this wonderful song together with this fantastic video.

[britecho]

Some people are saying 'bring em back' here. Well, most of Val's songs are traditional you know and, in that sense, will last forever. Val was popular in the early 60's with this sort of humorous song and, well, let's face it, the 60's were great fun times and perhaps it's salad days like that, that will never return.

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

Another brilliant song

[josparkes1]

Brilliant !

[joshmoshow16]

I am only 17, and I love this song. Great memories of playing this at my grans and my sister and i running around dancing to it, I say BRING THESE SONGS BACK!!

Love this video,very well put together....

[Rikkyhardo]

Yah it should be on Top gear ... but they are mean b ... people on the BBC ... so I guess you ain't seen it SuperMalcKeeling ... and thanks for the comment

[SuperMalcKeeling]

Have i seen this one on top gear?.

[kaymerjon]

i like your green car. great video again, its nice for the younger generation to hear theese songs.

[qpr60]

Hard to believe now, but dear old Val was a fixture of Saturday night TV for a while in the 70s and would always end by doing a number from his rocking chair. He didn't always sing joke songs - the fantastic What Would I Be narrowly missed the number one spot in 1966, and of course he hit with Walk Tall and Elusive Butterfly as well.

[marvodaka]

my bother used to sing this song as a child and all the family loved to hear it john is his name

[compaholic1]

Another fantastic tribute to VD from Rikkyhardo (who does not have VD I hasten to add).

"Two wheels were triangular and one wheel from a pram, and the other one cane off of a Dublin tram". They don't do lyrics like that any more. Take note James Blunt, and pick yer socks up.

[sK8erboy5210]

you rock

[ajryj]

hi

woo hooo
