British Airways commercial alternative

[HeddaBaglo]

Brillian is all I can say ! The best of British humour and I will share it with all my Norwegian friends on FB.

[strafrag1]

Super, especially for airline people. Thanks!

[DavidIanWeir]

I would go on more flights if air hostesses sang this en route or wherever. As one said with humour like this there is still hope!

[smilliegirl2]

FANTASTIC.....lol

[thorneel]

Ireland salutes you!

Couldn't imagine Ryanair air hostesses doing this.

Brilliant.

[EC120Biggles]

Absolutely brilliant. I loved every moment.  :-)

[stan7578]

???????????

[vogie1000]

So brilliant, these two are so talented!

[bowlinggal1000]

Well done from Australia, brilliant!

[shabbypants54]

Fantastic!



[pebreb]

so funny but all true

[pebreb]

lol sooooo funny

[sallilas]

This is brilliant! The women have fab voices and Nicola keen has been very clever with the lyrics - well done! Made me really laugh! ROFL :)

[burntisland1]

PERFECT!

[ChrissieVin]

Absolutely brilliant. Were other commentators joking when they said it was Mozart Cosi Fan Tutti?  Duh... It's The Flower Duet (parodied) from Delibes' opera Lakme. Anyway these two are fab!

[FriskyBobiski]

Extremely funny. Loved this. Brings a smile to my face each time I see it.  Amazing voices too - shame they're wasted working for BA.

[th3elt2els]

No one seems to recognise this duet from Cosi Fan Tutti by Mozart. Wonder why?

[HagressQueen]

@th3elt2els Possibly because it's the Flower Duet from the opera Lakmé, by Léo Delibes.

[Pengwern]

@HagressQueen True, but he died in 1891 so well out of copyright.

[clevecharles]

excellent, just the way to end my teaching day. With a smile on my face.

[primalamusica3]

Fantastic! Great singing, and the lyrics are super, too! Bravo! Long live British Humor!

[stevendamron]

i don't think there is a copyright violation here. it looks like the automatic copyright filter has confused this with a sony recording. this video explains how to dispute it: tPUYAMg4BiM (i can't enter the actual url, but if you paste this to replace the video code in another video, it will play). alternatively, search on "youtube copyright dispute"

[stevendamron]

why does this show as owned protected by Sony copyright?

[mwinsor1]

I dont know , they keep saying it is copyrighted. Not sure anyone owns the music < i am sure that is much older , and Nicola keen wrote the lyrics and she is in the piece, if anyone know more please tell us. We get no revenue from any adverts because of this but as long as people smile we have done our job. we did not do it for the money we did it for some fun and make the world laugh

[andrewkillen0726]

@mwinsor1 from the exact wording of the copyrights info you can find out if it is a thing where SONY are abusing the CMS of youtube or if they have put in a DMCA claim. I suspect that someone is abusing the CMS of youtube.

[jgneu1]

The music is from Leo Deslies' opera Lakme; it's called the Flower Duet, a very beautiful duet which one may enjoy if one is able to either see or get it on CD.

[starm1950]

funniest thing I have seen ... inspired!

[ownashare]

..I'm now going to fly BA with the hope of your in-flight company and autograph,..... excellent promotional video ...... do a follow up !!!

[gineverg1]

'MrsMTMomma' thinks Simon Cowell should take note of these girls - no need as Nicola Keen and Jan Hartley are already West End stars not BA employees!!

[LowCostCncRetrofits]

Very Clever



[sema4dogz]

Love it to pieces . It's Lakme , not Lacme though ......

[lynbrae]

as an ex trolley dolly that was brilliant thank you

[aidsmith]

Very clever, and the redhead is gorgeous!

[thepettyheartbreaker]

Brilliant ladies. We'll never ingnore another safety briefing again!

[gaz3912]

;-)

[MrsMTMomma]

Magnificent! If you're ever tired of "Flying High" you could have a go at putting those beautiful voices to work for money!! Simon Cowell..!! Are you listening?

Wish the real preps were so entertaining. It might make people really pay attention to what might save their lives in an emergency.

Mrs MT Momma

[Brazilnut9699]

Brilliant :-)

[gatortim7777]

Fantastic!!! Captain stuck in the mud. Aka martinkk1954, or whatever your name is, Lighten up buddy! I would love to here why you don't find this funny.

[PinkyOnTheGString]

Absolutely superb in every way, wonderful humour and wonderful musicality.

Hum .. Nicola Keen? You couldn't possibly be related to Dilly Keen of Fascinating Aida (cf, Cheap Flights)? If so, between the two of you've covered all aspects of the flight market!!

[MartinSTaylorHypno]

@PinkyOnTheGString Different spelling: Dillie Keane.

[batshiz]

[King0fEngland]

Very funny....but sadly all too true...was that made while they were bored while they were on strike? or maybe its why they are always too busy to answer the phone :)

[crab5mt]

@King0fEngland You sour-tempered pillock!! Get a sense of humour. Follow that with a sense of proportion.

[King0fEngland]

@crab5mt well i obviously have a sense of humour or i wouldn't fly BA :) or maybe i jsut love flying the worlds crappiest airline :))

[crab5mt]

@King0fEngland You aren't that "Arse out of Upper Class" are you?

[King0fEngland]

@crab5mt upper class is for the pikeys who fly Virgin darling xox

So, do you ladies plan on filling the void left by Flanders & Swann? You would be perfect, and true musical comedic entertainment would be restored.

[aaaaaaaaa6804]

LMFAO!

[RichBrits100]

Superb!

[Andie163]

This is brilliant! It made me cry with laughter - having worked for BA as a trolley dolly, they really are spot on and they sing beautifully too ;-) WATCH IT - if you're feeling down it will cheer you up!

[charlesbadamson]

WOW, this brings back memories when I was a flight attendant. I am sure all the flight attendants in the world can relate to the song.

CHEERS TO ALL THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS.

[JamesMorganLondon]

One of my favourite pieces of music. What beautiful voices those ladies have and what good sports they are to have sung this spoof version of the BA Commercial. I really enjoyed it.

[MarcusLeepapi]

I still like this a lot.... Really nice...

[mwinsor1]

@oldgypsytap

Gosh! just read your comment and was curious to see 'gypsy' in your user name so am now thrilled to hear from a fellow dancer such as your good self. ...and what a wonderful dancer too. so glad you enjoyed our clip from the show. long live Revue!!

All the very best, Nicola

Absolutely fantastic and such an inside joke. Your voices are absolutely beautiful and your humor sublime. Thanks so much for your wonderful work! I'll share this with all my FA friends at American Airlines. Our companies may fight non-stop but we are all true members of such a unique family that I'm so proud to be part of. Superb!! Mikey/B777/I/FO/DFW

[meezercattitude]

I'm not very Techno, yet. Someone's got to get this off to Simon Cowell !!! Or was that the reference to Upper Class?? Hopefully the Volcano gave you gals some time to polish up some more lyrics for our enjoyment !! Keep up the Fab sense of humor, Lynne Thomas UA F/A retired

[Montecarlolou]

So brilliant!! Sung so beautifully, yet so funny. Well done you girls - you missed your vocation

[sallyknit]

That was so entertaining especially as nothing has been flying for days

[prezyjim]

For all you Trolley Dolleys that love Pam Ann :-)

[Claudinho571]

I am CC myself but not with BA, but this really amazed me !! Great job girls :D

[sweetgypsywife]

Good grief, that has set me up for the day!!

[billhercus]

Absolutely outstanding!

Well done, lovely, talented ladies1

[RustyAimer787]

I love it, Nicola and Jan!

Where were you two when I was trying to stay awake on those 14 hour all nighters?

I could have played the guitar and you hum along with your angelic voices, trying to keep each other awake! So what if we missed a few oceanic position reports! :-)

Keep the humor going. From the looks of things these days, flight crews could certainly use some!

All the best,

@RustyAimer787

Thank you for your lovely comments. We're so thrilled at the response, especially from cabin crew and indeed now from a captain like your good self! we're most flattered. expect we may have to adjust a couple of lines at our next gig to reference volcanic ash....just to stay topical.!!!!!

[daisyduck1976]

Genius!

[MsAndrea57]

Fantastic...Love it !!

[Aquabroad]

After working for 20+ years with BA, 80% at an airport, though now retired I still love the Flower Duet even after having heard it thousands of times while on hold to the various stations. But, this is definitely my favorite version, the words brought back many memories. Absolutely hilarious, very, very well done ladies. I've sent it to all my airline friends at BA and other airlines. Great Job.

[MarcusLeepapi]

@Aquabroad I see you are a former airline worker.... Yes, I miss flying too. I do. Yes, I am a former US Onboard Purser Crew Member....Yes, now I am looking to work for another airline... Wish me luck.... Thanks

[Aquabroad]

@MarcusLeepapi All airline employees continually complain whether working in- flight, at an airport, sales, reservations etc., etc., but once you work for an airline you are hooked and no other job can compare. Good Luck with the job search.

[MarcusLeepapi]

@Aquabroad Yes, thank you..... You are so right.. Once a person has worked for an airline once he or she always wants to work for one for the rest of their lives.....My heart is still with the industry..... And half of my family still works for many US airlines.

[GoldenRetrievers2]

Willie Walsh should use part of this as his new ad. Brilliant

[judymaur]

very enjoyable

[MarcusLeepapi]

I really love this.... OMG!!! It is so crazy..... Being an onboard crew member of a US airline it, it is very funny!!!!!!!
