I Agree With You. Sir John Gielgud’s Version of Percy And Harold’s Song Is A Disaster Because He Did Not Do A Good Job With The Song. It’s Not Perfect Enough. So Sir John Gielgud Failed Doing Percy And Harold’s Song.
0:01-0:03 In Fact, Here’s A Song For Percy. Come Along! 0:26 And 1:09 (Singing) Said Harold The Helicopter To Our Percy You Are Slow. 0:54 And 1:36 (Singing) Your Railway Is Out Of Date And Not Much You Should Know. 0:35 And 1:17 (Singing) But Percy With The Stone Trucks Did Do A Record Time. 0:59 And 1:43 (Singing) And We Beat The Helicopter On Our Own Branchline.
All are sung the same except for Sir John Gielgud whom I thought made it sound more like a rhyme. But I heard Ringo's version first, but I thought George did it just as well.
By the way I put ring go ahead because I'm British and I grow up with Ringo stars version. no hard feelings to any Americans George Carlin still did well but I think Ringo did better just because I grew up with that one
