"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (1939)
"I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside"
Written and Composed by John A. Glover-Kind (1907)
Performed by Basil Rathbone
Everyone delights to spend their summer's holiday
Down beside the side of the silvery sea
I'm no exception to the rule
In fact, if I'd my way
I'd reside by the side of the silvery sea.
But when you're just the common or garden Smith or Jones or Brown
At bus'ness up in town
You've got to settle down.
You save up all the money you can till summer comes around
Then away you go
To a spot you know
Where the cockle shells are found.
Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside
I do like to be beside the sea!
I do like to stroll upon the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass bands play: "Tiddely-om-pom-pom!"
So just let me be beside the seaside
I'll be beside myself with glee
For there's lots of girls besides,
I should like to be beside
Beside the seaside!
Beside the sea!

In the radio shows 'The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes', Rathbone sings snippets of this a couple of times! XD
-
@IncurablePessimist yeah, that and 'Sherlock Holmes in Chipmunk' !
-
adictive song
-
Whenever I'm feeling sad, I watch this video, and suddenly everything is okay again.
-
The best Holmes ever -- pity his work was controlled by the war department and he lacked the freedom and resources of the later Granada series. Brett was too over the top and didn't look like Holmes; Basil WAS Holmes.
-
@BazilBentley :p yeah, I see - funnier if you keep pressing 0:46 again and again! :p
-
That was the one disguise in the Sherlock Holmes films where you didn't see him and think 'that'll be Holmes' - just so,,,UNEXPECTED that it turned out to be him!!!
-
I think his voice cracked a little around 0:46. O.o made me fall of my chair laughing.

Rathbone is so much like Paget's illustrations of Holmes. That is why Rathbone IS Sherlock Holmes :)

Yes, it IS Basil Rathbone. He's in character makeup, it's from the "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". This is when actors could do anything. Mr. Rathbone played Sherlock Holmes, Richard the III, Dr. Wolf von Frankenstein and even costarred in a movie with Danny Kaye. These "pretty boys" today don't have 1/89th the talent nor ability.
