[ninacat88]

thumbs up if you're here because of QI.

[TheScorpion667]

[monkeyboy6676]

the jimi hendrix of the uke

[Superdofagnes]

Dude looks like he could be Russel Howard's grandfather...

[gypwin]

[fuckofnoddy]

Timeless classic

[2011skaterblue]

eyetoy memories :)

[1960jeffers]

Yep frank got me here too!!

[AudreyHepburnLover11]

I reddit my way here

[3StephenClark]

Frank Skinner sent me here.

[mag741]

@3StephenClark get out

[Petey1308]

@3StephenClark :). That was an amazing TV program, I watched it with my Uke in my hand. I have no doubt it got Formby a lot of new fans!

[3StephenClark]

@Petey1308 Definitely, I may take up ukulele because of it. :)

[duendeblop]

@Petey1308 you don't even know, also thanks for the uploads. I love when QI brings music to my ignorant ears.

[deaniture]

@Petey1308 It certainly got me here!

[nw8000]

@3StephenClark If you look at George he my have looked like an unassuming Bank Clerk but he had the body of a miner and could command great strength to play the ucalaly and act at the same time.

[MrSpeed997]

I love this guy - he's fantastic. Sure Laurel & Hardy, Charlie Chaplain & Harold lloyd may have more of a global following but I preferred George Formby & Will Hay. Besides, George lent generous support to the boys during war time & rallied support for them. Wish i could have met the guy in real life - great travesty how his wife was a control freak & so domineering. Btw, 54 (disliking)people must of fell off the ladder whilst cleaning windows.

[zooba2000]

reddit

[yackon4game]

People had creepy fucking voices back in the days without colour.

[grantapuslafsalot]

My Grandad loved listening to George, but my Grandma hate him cause he's 'rude' :P

[HowardANDgandolf]

My nan and grandad told me about George when I said I got a ukulele, so glad they told me because George is AWESOME!

[gypwin]

one of my idols..check out my attempts on ukulele doing 'grandad'..cheers

[genia106]

George is a TREASURE.

A million STARS.

Smooch

Genia

[garble11]

[nicksredpet]

Got to luve it .

[DaveiosWHU]

I am a window cleaner in Central London :D

[fuentcent]

American Dad...No? Who cares right I just love that ukulele folk "formby" style, the man could play for blacks and whites like they were the same, oh yea they are!

[oliskill]

The first troll.

[JRBouncerz2010]

I finally learned it in Ukulele!!!!!!!!

[er10b]

'honeymoonin couples too, you should see em bill and coo, you'd be surprised at things they do'

Formby's never spoken truer words.

[MrsTakumi]

thumbs up if your watching in 2013

[AnarchisThinker]

Great. Please clean MY Windows 7 c drive. C:

[gusthebroken2]

Brilliant ~This is one of my most favorite Nr ,from GF ~he is a master player ! :)) gus

[Colorfulspheres]

I'm 419 years old, and I hate this, which is clearly ironic because age determines musical taste. Generic comment on the quality of today's music and the people who listen to it. Now I'll wait for somebody to reply in disagreement so I can boldly restate my opinion with passionate fervor.

[italianchriswilko100]

@Colorfulspheres its understandable you wouldn't like this kind of music, when you were a teenager you probably had to go see a choir perform live if you wanted to listen to music, whereas we modern folk with our gramophones and 8 track tapes can listen to our music pretty much whenever we want :P

[Colorfulspheres]

@italianchriswilko100 And another thing, when did that nice Johann boy from down the street quit writing music? I loved that song of his they're always playing in the monster moviefilms these days.

[110665bigguy]

he was the biggest entertainer during second world war one of my fav not bad for a man from lancashire hese one of a kind

[dharmaseed]

1:19...so THAT'S where Ringo got it from!!!

[sparkybean]

Claiming the millionth view!

[limoneador]

30 Rock, Kenneth Parcell's grand father : )

[OfficialFuntcase]

I'm 14, and I get these songs from my Grandad, the music nowadays is terrible.

[MrRationalist1]

@OfficialFuntcase Have you tried the Lancaster Hotpots?

[kaffesurrogat]

Is it Alastair Sims who are peeking on them?

[MrDaiseymay]

the dirty old bastard !

[BroWhatever]

I fucking love this guy.

[alex290296]

[phant0mOD]

My athletics coaches Uncle bought George Formby his first ever pint :P

[kayteexboloo2]

[100blueeyedboy]

Ukuleles are so awesome!

[RgMFn2904]

@100blueeyedboy what type is george using soprano tanor braitone or concert

[100blueeyedboy]

@RgMFn2904 I don't know THAT much. Can you even get different types of uke? I think it's a cool instrument, it doesn't mean I know stuff about it. I like bass guitars but I can't play one.

[AuroraGreenleaf]

QI rocks! But Fornby tops Frank Skinner everytime!

[SuperRyan80]

THIS IS WEIRD! i like thrash metal, rock, electronica and loads of other genre types and then i like stuff like this! they are all so different to each other.

[ChrisNicol777]

@supajedi03 It was. Damn. Small world

[thebmxband1t]

Facebook group. 'Make George formby this years Christmas number one'.

We tried with Rage Against The Machine,

now let's REALLY piss the pop execs off!!

[thebmxband1t]

Wot a ledge!!!

[IIMALTEASERII]

When i'm usin' windas 7 XD

[quinnolivia]

I came here after watching QI and no offense to george formby but i honestaly perfered frank skinner's version

[EmmatheMinx]

I LOVE this! Always brings a smile o my face, thats the mark of a good song!

[zoeyredbird12345]

i love this :)

[topliff12345]

I never realised the lyrics were so racy !

Brilliant :)

[Artificialkel]

I can't' help but think of him saying "Windas 7" haha.

[FoolMe2wice]

@ChrisNicol777 same man, i heard it at a place called Eden Camp :)

[ConwayMorning]

Who's that beautiful lady?

[ChrisNicol777]

...I first heard this song watching a puppet show...When I was a kid on a school trip...And it all seemed so innocent at the time

[supajedi03]

@ChrisNicol777 Wow, what a coincedence me too. Was it by any chance Eden Camp?

[bungkjlkjkljlkj]

This is the damned censored version! Can't find the real version anywhere on utube!

[smokinjoe1984]

@bungkjlkjkljlkj If you have found it i would be grateful to know its whereabouts..what a chap!! :-)

[smokinjoe1984]

@bungkjlkjkljlkj If you have found it i would be grateful to know its whereabouts..what a chap!! :-)

[Choomanama]

Cheeky!

[davidm90143]

@tompicoll lol

[tompicoiii]

Thumbs up if you came from sexy Stephen Fry!

[simplelife88393]

@tompicoiii why does this relate to Fry?

[tompicoiii]

@simplelife88393 Go watch Qi series I (:

[sashablfc]

@simplelife88393 Because this song is played/sung by frank skinner on Qi..

[superhamzah85]

This is why we won the war.

Excellent spies. haha

[snstreet]

[dartshooters]

EyeToy and American Dad..good times :D

[Deanorg]

This is a classic, George's films were adored by more british people during the war than anyone else. He did so much for the war effort and moral of a nation in terrible times. i hope he's never forgotten..

[eddiebear100]

Brilliant.

[rikuparagus706]

Everytime I here this, I start moving my arms in circles like I was still playing Eyetoy XD
