It's almost like some kind of strange 1960s beatboxing... by a prototype beastie boys or run-dmc...
And it'd be great for this to get a re-release, it's woken me up nicely today but I didn't even know of the show's existence let alone seen any before.
Fast forward 14 years to the 1976 Christmas special with Elton John at the Piano and Eric & Ernie trying the same counter-melody. Who says you can't recycle an old joke. M&W knew exactly how to do it. A pair of certified geniuses.
I just love these guys!!! And I'm 15!! You're never to young for them, they're so funny!! I love Ernie's smile it's so cute and happy especially at 2:10-2:13

Goodness, Ernie looks so different and so much younger here! Whereas Eric doesn't look that different, younger but not a lot different.

Eric was not a bad singer. Did he ever release a record? He should have.

Eric's dressed like John Simm 's character (Sam Tyler) in 'Life on Mars'. He's 11 years ahead of his time. Ha ha.

Have you got the sketch with Eric, Ernie, Roy Castle and Dickie Valentine, when they do Moonlight Bay, the same song they did with The Beatles?
