I believe this very track was Michael Flatley's inspiration for 'Riverdance'.

This guy deserved a lot more credit than he got and because of it I do not think he got the chance to become one of the greats of British comedy (well known). Equal to Python and Milligan in his own right but I still think he is GREAT and see his influence in the background. Thank you for posting

@karlpaananen I've been equally confused by the actresses on RWT, as Carinthia West isn't always credited on episodes that she's in (IIRC).

@RileyELFuk Yeah, I realize you are correct. There was another video on Youtube which mistakenly identified a DIFFERENT actress as Lyn Ashley. But THIS is Lyn Ashley. She also had some very brief cameos on Monty Python's Flying Circus.

@karlpaananen It is Lyn Ashley.

Fantastic! This is one of my all time favourites!

I wish I could dance like that.

@RocketDan21 Listen to the words, you idiot. Do you think it's meant to be some Hollywood shit? Moron.

@SUPACHARGED I think this is the funniest thing ever on all of Youtube...and I am not easily amused.

@ivorykisses I think the tap dancing joke works better in the Hollywood Bowl performance since it follows the comedic 'rule of three'.
Hi, I'm not british, but a great MP fan and I'd like to know something about the history of this song.
I've seen faster version in the 'MP at the hollywood bowl'. Who wrote it? Who is the guy singing?
I'd appreciate any answer that gives some info ;]
thx

Neil Innes is the songwriter and performer of this song. It was originally released by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band back in 68, which Neil was a member of at the time.
