[carolinekearneyshane]

Lily/paul is absolutely brillant... I miss seeing Lily on TV he always made me laugh

[petermintunmusic]

It's genius like this that makes youtube worthwhile!

[baabaagreensheep]

Hilarious!!!!!! Made my day... Anyone know where i can buy a dvd of Footlight Parade for Region 2?

[AryeDirect]

Can you say homage? 'Shanghi Lil' Original in 'Footlight Parade'.

[louchan1987]

''deadly lotus blossom of the Wirral'' i swear this man is a genius

[mitziebitzie]

It's a shame paul doesn't let Lily out nowadays, but I understand why he doesn't...

Lily was a platform for him inot the mainstream and he made it.

But Lily can get away with a lot more than Paul can, I miss all the crude jokes from lily.

[caseymorris692]

LOL

[teufelstaub]

Lily/Paul is absolutely brilliant!"...the deadly lotus blossom of the Wirral..."What a National Treasure you have in them!

[jeanniedee]

Can someone please (seriously) find the original Cagney version instead of this rubbish .

[PhilipLWilcher]

Whilst staying in Liberace's Palm Springs home in the early nineties, I had the honour of meeting and dining with Ruby Keeler. If you care to google my name - Phillip Wilcher - and access my website, I make mention of this meeting on my biography page. She was wonderfully elegant and such a gentle lady. Blessings everyone...

[BigFatTitWoman]

Goody for you you stuck up , name dropping old Mary. Did Liberace stick it up you ?

[SandyGrinder]

@PhilipLWilcher ... but have you ever been to Birkenhead?

[dingledellhistory]

temperance has a little clip of the original version on their video 'ruby fever'. this lot do it better though .

[mumpsy123]

i wish was made into a real broadway or the west end its really good!

[LawBaby97]

Fun Spoof! Both are great tap dancers. I've looked at scenes of "Footlight Parade" where Cagney tap dances on a bar counter with Ruby Keeler during the "Shanghai Lil" number. It reminds me of parodies done on "Saturday Night Live" here in the US.

[bbxx44]

This is great. So close to the original and so funny.

[antoniod]

This would never work in the US because too few people here are familiar with the film it's parodying, "Footlight Parade" with Cagney.

[acidqueen69]

Not to mention all the cameos. I have no idea who any of them are. :(

[Karenenglishrose]

I LOVE this. Brilliant, laughing here. Is that Bob Hoskins who throws the knife?

[mickstery6]

No that is Russel Grant

[cryspop]

LOL all that smoking !!! , this was funny though LOL

[renthead87]

this is sooooo funny!

[Jaryllene]

aw Michael is a cutie pie!

[Riss919]

How funny! Michael Ball looks so good as a sailor, lol. Nice dimples.

[0swproductions0]

[Meglig]

Some of the other people in the clip

Eammom Holmes (tv presenter) Gary wilmot(tookover from Michael in Chitty)Les Dennis (comedian,actor)Carlo Vorderman(tv presenter)Russell Grant (astrologer)

The clip was from The Lily Savage show (late 90s I'd say)

[Cuteskin]

fabuloussssss

[SalfromCal]

What fun...wish I knew who some of the people were.

Michael, as always, was brilliant...was he relly dancing? Does anyone know where this was taken from?

I know, I have too many QUESTIONS!

[kalindoscopy]

i pray to buddah in the joss house

[smurfswacker]

This is hilarious! Could you do an ignorant Yank a favor an identify some of the guest stars? I'll never be able to watch Cagney and Keeler again without thinking of this.

[SideshowBobj]

[mijucha]
