I have watched this video liike a milion times, it's awesome. I love French & Saunders anyway but this is just funny as heck.
I'm trying to work out which real life opera divas they might be "portraying" Dawn French looks remarkably like Montserat Caballé. As for Jennifer Saunders...possibly Arleen Auger???
I almost passed on this video, and I'm glad I didn't. This is HILARIOUS!!! I haven't had "roar of laughter" moments like this in a while. Thank you VERY much for sharing this one with us. By the way: is that Jim Broadbent conducting the orchestra??? Just curious...
Brilliant ! This should be released. I adore the use of the harpsichord in this, makes me smile evertime I hear this. I love those noises that F+S use at the end to enhance the harmony hahahah so frikkin funny ! Thanks for sharing !
me too though im new to french and saunders ive noticed that in general when shows make fun of songs they come out better than the real one jaja and french and saunders is no exception
Love how there trying to do the stuttering pauses from the original song, but doing it live instead of cutting and looping the tape.

That is something that's stuck in my mind for 10 years - I think it's absolutely brilliant. - More Opera versions of fast, catchy pop songs please!

The conductor is Carl Davis, a conductor with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and he clearly has a sense of humour!
Fabulous sketch and one I have seen many, many, many times but always puts a smile on the face. :o)
