Peter Sellers : A Drop Of The Hard Stuff

[66gadus]

the tune is actually called 'Tell her I am' - i've been in sessions like this i can tell you!

[UISTMAN59]

@66gadus If anyone wants to listen to a gentler version of "Tell her I am", without fisticuffs , go to axelrodney's channel :-)

[saltwaterballads]

This is fab Iain, love the break in transmission at the end haha

[Dunollieman]

How did I miss this one? Hilarious. 5*****. Scotty (Iowa USA)

[KINGROOSTER45]

ha ha- brilliant stuff!

[THECLARENCES]

Amazing!

One of the shrieks yelled out was George Martin (later producer for The Bealtes). Peter kicked a chair during his performance. It flew across the room and accidentally hit George in the shin.

The pics werent great to begin with but youtube "improvements" have made them look even worse :-( sorry!

[shanejamesrose]

out standing bit of days gone by recording

[WJCairns]

There's another brilliant "Irish" skit called "In a Free State" which is a caricature of the irascible playwright Brendan Behan - anyone got a handle on this one?

[crystalclear999]

Thanks for posting. Brilliant stuff. Classic sellers.

[rgadave]

Tremendous stuff, many thanks for putting it on !.

[bertiefang]

Tickled me yet again ! Good to see it tickles others too

[UISTMAN59]

Thanks again bertiefang. :-).

[lorgain2]

Uistmann,Here I am again looking a lift and a laugh, your captions blended brilliantly with this very funny video, i still think it is the best on You Tube.

[UISTMAN59]

Hi Oliver, glad you got a laugh out of it. Its also a bit of nostalgia. The fellow carrying the tv and setting it on the wall is on the Island of Benbecula, not not after we got the electricity in so it was easy to tie up with the electrification of the Gaeltacht too which was about the same time. Thanks for your kkind comments, Iain :-)

[UISTMAN59]

This video used to look a wee bit better before Youtube changed the settings

Sorry :-(

[bertiefang]

tickled me, I'll have a drop of the hard stuff, top of the morning !

[UISTMAN59]

Thanks bertiefang. Your favourites tickled me, you have some great ones there :-).

The track on the original 1958 LP that included this piece was called Suddenly It's Folk Song, and included other clips of "traditional songs" supposedly recorded in a West Country pub and in central Glasgow. Both were very good, and well worth checking out. But this was easily the funniest of the three, if rather reliant on the stereotype of the pugnacious Irishman.

[kickatinalong]

Mind me harp will ye! Mind me harp! Oh.... I'll never get to heaven now....

[heywoodejerblowme]

This is a clip from the LP,"The Best of Sellers',came out in the late 50s,a classic

[UISTMAN59]

It is included also in the 6-CD compilation set "PRODUCED BY GEORGE MARTIN." Sir George Martin produced albums by the Beatles and many others.

[anbrjd]

Was that a bum not you played there Sorr?

[cactus1961harley]

Hilarious, my face hurts from laughing!!. What a genius. Frm Irish background but so reminds ma of my Grandad!! Mind me harp!!

[lorgain2]

"mind me harp willya, God i`ll never get to heaven"

[machree01]

Brilliant! killing myself laughing, Sellers was a genius, thanks for posting it Ulstman.

[UISTMAN59]

You're welcome machree01. Thanks for your coment.

[lorgain2]

Sellers was doing all the voices, and a good job with the accents, although the idiot that told Sean he was playing a bum note, sounded like he was a returned Yank.

[lorgain2]

Uistman you did a great job of the captions, very funny, I keep looking at this.

Some of my young friends were in tears laughing at this.

[UISTMAN59]

Thanks again lorgain2. I dare say a lot of younger folk had never heard this. It was produced by Sir George Martin who also produced the Beatles and it is included in a compilation box set of tracks produced by him (2001).

[lorgain2]

The man`stepping it out` for the group of nuns was Paddy Ban O`Broin, a famous Irish dancer.

[UISTMAN59]

Thanks for your note lorgain2. I hope to post that clip, in its original context soon.

[lorgain2]

Very funny, I remember this when it first came out, the Ceili Band was very good, there was no bum notes there.

[UISTMAN59]

You're right.

[govan1234]

Brilliant, the man is a genius

[UISTMAN59]

Thanks for your comment. He was indeed.
