@alecahauf well most people do think the simpsons is funny... well, people under 45 anyway. Thats why its been going for over two decades with no sign of stopping but ah well, i guess it's a generational thing. This was quite humerous in a nice way. nice song too. a differnt time

@Onariman48 - Clive Dunn has frequently played characters older than his actual age. He was only 51 here and performed this song one month before I was born!

@MatthewOfLondon i often think of the good old days when times get hard, the simpler days of going out to play without a care in the world, coming home to mums tea on the table and the muppet show on TV. A lot of people regress back to child hood memories pal, this is the time were we felt the safest, wrapped up in our parents cotton wool hugs. I read your post mate and just wanted to say, be strong, chin up and there WILL be a brighter day sometime in the future..stay strong ;)

I woke up at 4 and for some reason thought of this song. It makes me tearful I remember when this was number one. I remember all sorts of things like Parsley, playschool, Bod, but I cant watch any of it without bursting into tears when I'm alone. I'm 43 and my girlfriend has a degenerative illness she's never going to recover from. We've fallen out of love. I've got a 16 year old stepdaughter who doesnt give a shit about me and I'm living without hope. The past is so beautiful.......

@Onariman48 Hes 91 Years old :D I am suprised too x


Love this song, always makes me sad. The idea that old people are so often undervalued, that their experience of life is considered as worth nothing to the younger generation in general. Life was so much simpler in past generations. What, though is wrong with people? This is an entirely lovely, innocent song. If only the simplicity of it could have an effect on those making comments (I'm referring to the language and negativity). Bask in the gentleness of the sentiment. As for racism - grow up!
