For those of us born in the 80's and after Moore was lampooned as a tasteless drunken playboy on shows like the Critic. I only now realize that was his '10' persona and that there was much more to his comedic genius!

This gets my vote for the best minute of comedy ever.
Sheer perfection from start to finish. What an amazing talent, Dudley Moore.
RIP, you are missed.

Yes. It is a fake Schubert song. It would be great to see score that Dud wrote. H really was immensely gifted in music.

@BlueCougar I hope that you're being facetious.

@rleb09 This is not the "Der Erlkönig", it's the much lesser known "Die Flabbergast", as the announcer said.

My english is not good enouht to know, why the people are laughing at 0.09. I don´t understand what the "moderator" says. Can you tell me please?

@MrLieblingsessen Once you listen to the original (and read the translation if you don't speak German) it's hilarious.

@MrLieblingsessen He's performing Schubert's lied/ballad Erlkönig, in which the singer portrays 4 parts: son, father, the Earl King, and the narrator by changing the register of his voice. It's actually a sad song because the father holds his ill son while they ride on horseback to the doctor's house, but the son dies in his arms by the end.
I had no idea how talented this guy is. This is utter genius!
