Great version of the song. Hilarious. I need to watch this

A great exercise in surrealism, and a fascinating black comedy besides. For those who have not seen the miniseries, yes, it does make sense, in bizarre detail. It might take several viewings to "get it"....strangely, once you do, you will most likely find it impossible to explain to anyone else. "The Singing Detective" may well have a different meaning for everyone who sees it.

Beautiful imagery: the connection made between sex and death, the religious element attached to nursing and health, the aspect of the slave song linking to Marlowe's condition, the music and atmosphere of the 40s evoked, echoing from the lead character's childhood, etc etc could go on and on.

My parents had this song on a 45, it was Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians. When we were kids we'd always laugh when the bones started walking around. :)

I have 2 questions. Have most people heard this song?
Does the sick guy ever get healed or at least feel better at the end of the movie??

It used to be very popular in the first half of the 20th century. It's a traditional spiritual song, so I'm sure many people still remember it, but I don't know if I'd say most. I first heard it sung by - of all people - Herman Munster from the TV show 'The Munsters' (he became a radio star after singing this song).

Yes, he does get better, but if you're interested in the story, rent the DVD 'The Singing Detective' (the 6 hour 1986 BBC television miniseries, NOT the Robert Downey Jr. film). It's fascinating, disturbing, and wonderfully offbeat. The interesting thing is that Dennis Potter, the creator of the series, suffered from the same condition that the lead character had (Psoriatic Arthritis). If anything, he understated the condition onscreen as in real life his bled.

Joanne Whalley was absolutely breathtaking in this series. Gorgeous, gorgeous woman.

Never seen the show and got absolutely no idea what any of it is about. But I've watched this five times straight and I'll probably watch it some more.

You really should watch the series - it's one of the most inventive and memorable things I've ever seen on television. This scene is fairly representative of what you can expect.
