Good clean fun in 1937, I'm only 70 so obviously didn't watch this live 😀 As a kid growing up Arthur was a huge radio star, also appeared on our TVs quite a lot. Great memories.

I didn't exactly see this one when it was made but while he was alive I saw plenty of other times when he did this song. of course, I saw this recording while he was still alive. Entertainment was much simpler in those days.

I have seen Arthur Askey sing the Bee song on what I believe was a Royal Variety Performance but much later than this 🐿️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I think it was the Queen Mum’s 80th birthday concert, but I was young then too 🎉

I saw him sing it in Pantomime in Birmingham in 1972, I was 7 then.

I was born in 1943 and the record of this song was regularly on radio request programmes through to the 1960s. It was one of those 'everybody knows' songs.

Being 62, I don't actually remember Arthur live on the radio, however, I certainly saw and was fond of his acts in the 60s and 70s. Many a time, he appeared on The Good Old Days, hosted by Leonard Sachs. sadly, his wife's ill health, with early onset dementia, took it's toll on Arthur. He developed diabetes and circulation problems that cause limb loss.

Arthur Askey died in 1982 when I was just a kid, but I was brought up on classic British comedy like this, Joyce Grenfell, George Formby, and the radio stuff from the late 1940s and 1950s for example, by my parents. Although some of it didn't really click with me (Life with the Lyons, ITMA, etc were a bit too old for me to get the humour) but this cheeky and lively little number has stuck with me, so glad to see you discover a piece of British history - even though you seemed a bit non-plussed by it! 🤣

@josefschiltz2192 2 месяца назад

We're of that generation that were not quite old enough to see them in their height, but in their autumnal years. Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Dear old Spike, Joyce and Arthur. I am so glad that more get to see them that wouldn't have otherwise.

Hey Squirrel, I loved to watch Arthur Askey, he was always so funny & full of beans. I remember, he was one of the team captains on Joker`s Wild which I think you looked at a while ago. I had seen this before in a compilation of comedians from that period. I enjoyed his comedy films (The Ghost Train, 1941) & (King Arthur Was A Gentleman, 1942). His best rated by IMbd film is (The Love Match, 1955) which sadly I`ve never seen, I will have to rectify that soon. His catchphrases were "Hello Playmates", "I Thankyou" said (in a more emphasised way) & "Before Your Very Eyes". He was one of the 1st radio stars to successfully transfer to Tv. Sadly, we lost 3 great comedians in quick succession, with Arthur in `82 & both Tommy Cooper & Eric Morecambe in `84.

@jamesreader6709 2 месяца назад

He made a number of films which were a very gentle sort of humour. I used to watch them as a child in the late 70s and 80s. Same sort of vibe as George Formby, the Crazy Gang, Will Hay and Old Mother Riley. Plenty of daft humour.

@PHDarren 2 месяца назад

I think the first thing I saw Arthur Askey in (later as a repeat as I'm not that old) was in the the film The Ghost Train an old B&W film that was on probably one Sunday afternoon, it was a film adaptation of a theatre play originally written by Arnold Ridley (Private Godfrey in the TV show Dad's Army and also Daisy Ridley of Star Wars fame's great Uncle).

@quarkwrok 2 месяца назад

I liked this as a kid in the 70's but it doesn't float my boat now. All I can think of is Harry Enfield! For 1930's homemakers in the new suburbs with sunburst gates and wrap-round windows.

@cpmahon 2 месяца назад

When this was released as a single, was it released on the A-side or the Bee-side?

@antiqueinsider 2 месяца назад

Lots of songs from this period have aged better than this one! LOL!

I am 60 years old. When I was a kid there was a BBC Radio show called Junior Choice that played songs aimed at preteens and this song was a regular on the playlist along with Thingummybob, a song about the importance or civilian war work. He was a massive star in his day and my parents loved his comedy. I always found his comedic style irritating, although I quite like his films. He starred in The Ghost Train (written by Arnold Ridley - Godfrey from Dad's Army) which is excellent, but my favourite is Back Room Boy. Both are films that were made during, set in and featuring story lines about the second world war. He would crop up on Radio andTV for decades after the war, churning out the same old stuff, but older people loved him.

This was 1937! I think life was a tad simpler before Mr Hitler spoiled it all! 😲

Maybe this is where they started with A sides and Bee sides? ;) Yeah okay I know. I can make funnier jokes but they all get me banned.

@ltsecomedy2985 2 месяца назад

Hey Squirrel, I just found out one of your great comedians died last week. Please would you consider reacting to a couple of his sketches. His name is Bob Newhart & I thought these two would interest you. (Tobacco video (Sir Walter Raleigh phone conversation)) 3 Mins 35 Secs & (Bus Driver Training) 5 Mins 2 Secs.

Got this song on an old CD of humorous songs from way back when. He was a big star for over 50 years.

I always thought he was just an annoying little prat. I also can't not believe that some, if not more, of the Arthur Atkinson character from The Fast Show was based on him
