Theatre cabaret at Bewley's Cafe Theatre Dublin, Ireland. Starring John Matthews here singing "Carousel" - originally in French; "La Valse A Mille Temps" by Jacques Brel.
@simplesimplicity4 .. agreed.. Brel touched people's darker emotional places.. and he meant to. He wrote about life as it was.. no glitter or misplaced softness. I think that people who laugh at this song don't get the true meaning...
i think the humour is actually misplaced here. like, great voice, but. idk. like some of Jacques Brel's other songs, i think they're more funny at the beginning but by the end you see that they're actually really sad and frightening.
@managerman13 actually!?? how do you know!?

@EtrangerStranger probably some kind of "inside" joke. He probably sang it on a dare. It is not an easy song to sing.

I don't understand this at all. Forgive me please, but I'm just not grasping the humor. Would someone care to explain?

@texbear21 I saw her perform two days ago in Virginia. I agree completely. She was definitely awesome. ^_^
