    What an extraordinary performance (short as it is) by an extraordinary talent. Peter Sellers will be remembered, appreciated, and sorely missed by many, many generations to come.

    I'm taking a Shakespeare in film class, I told my teacher about this and he said that he used to do Olivier as Othello reading the phone book!

    11 people don't understand comedy. Or Shakespeare. Or music.

    Well the laughter may be due to the facial expressions and the fact the audience realized they were in on the joke too. He turns an innocent pop ballad into a somewhat lascivious solliquoy by his delivery but also certainly by his facial expressions too! He was acting, and doing a ripping good job.

    Yes, and making the lyrics even more suggestive than the fabs intended by the way the words are spokem. Wonderful Shakesperean hyberbole. It's an english thing hence the laughter.

    those are the end of the sentences, so people wait till he finishes to laugh. It's a Beatles song "it's been a hard day's night", and he's saying the lyrics like Olivier doing Richard III. ;)
