George Formby - Aunty Maggie's Remedy 

The look on George's face whenever he does his solos' that beaming smile gives me so much joy 😄😃

See, he wasn't even being smutty when he was about to sing "Now you rub your belly" but changing it to Ankle, and that quick pause made it hilarious :D

I was brought up with George Formby movies, and as a child, my younger brother and I would watch all that we could, and my love of his songs has stayed with me all my life, if I'm feeling down and depressed because of life in general, all I need to do is listen to George Formby and I feel happier again, never fails.

George Formby entertained Russian and American troops, as well as the British. He was awarded the Order of Lenin by Joseph Stalin. He was always first in, last out of a battle zone. A very brave man indeed!

It's impossible not to like G.F. with his infectious laugh,and he can't half play the banjo.

Its amazing to think all the amazing singers ,entertainers seem be around at a time when the world needed them,sad thing we could do with them now cause the noise they make now doesn't make happy ,god bless you our George at a time when Britain was truly great,and our greatest generation.

Truly one of the greatest British performers ever,his. Films brilliant😁😁

a great entertainer, and very saucy with his songs, but he will always be the greatest banjo player, no one will ever to play the banjo like george, no matter how much they try, there is only one george formby

I absolutely Adored him as a kid watching his movies and Still do. He had a 1-of a kind voice. I LOVE HIM. RIP

Thank you George for all my smiles. They'll last for miles, and miles!

I just love the banjoele solo. Brilliant.

When it came to playing ukulele, Formby was a true genius, and it was down to his right hand technique.

One of the greatest George and his Uke love him and his films and music

in one of his bbc shows he said that he had different instruments for different songs, as he couldn't tune them - he couldn't read or write music, and his songs were in different keys - and if he picked up the wrong instrument it was ''every man for himself'' lol

Dear George - simple songs, but brilliantly delivered

George Formby Never Gets Old!!! ❤️

Thanks for this video. You have just taken me back 60 years to when I was a lad. Life was easy and simple back then. Definitely the good old days.

I knew Bruce Williams aka Liverpool songwriter Eddie Latta. He was a family friend. So this means a lot to me.

Interesting what he did here. That Dallas D banjo ukulele he is playing was endorsed with his name and when he used it in the films (obviously to promote the instruments), he dubbed it over with one of his better sounding instruments. These banjo ukes were considerably cheaper than the big brands like Abbott, Gibson and Ludwig which he used frequently throughout his career.

George does have an amazing face. He always makes me happy, and his songs are so much fun to play. God bless Georgie. Thanks for posting this! :)

Fantastic. Alan Randall’s version of this was great too.

This is my favourite George Formby song. I love the innuendo lol

:-D So Lovely, George was an amazing musician and singer.

George can really play his instrument.

brilliant song n absoloutly brilliant film the guys a legend.

Well he certainly had the perfect face for radio at least! Thanks for watching, glad you've discovered our "working class hero" from Lancashire.

Damn! I feel old...I knew all the words!

happy go lucky george..hours of fun watching him

I love this film!! "Oh, my poor ol' heart" "Chair's just their mother!" or something along those lines!!

@Telmanyi Absolutely agree. We could do with another George Formby right now to cheer us all up!

Thanks for the music George.

Quality , just like nozza wisdom but I grew up on em both so I might be biased ?

working class? he was the emperor of lancashire

I Adored George Fornby as a Wee Lad my Grandad even brought me an Antique Banjo! ❤️

Great old song - I remember it from... way back when :)

SUPERB !!

Magic! 💚❤️

his voice is so high pitched its fantastic he should of yodelled

He didn't write many of his songs, his wife refused him to play a song unless his name got put on it. Most agreed because if george played it it would be a hit

Brilliant solo in this one.

You have to wonder whether the second to last line added, 'inside its nosebag', was an adlib, judging by the way he laughed and the reaction it got.

Brilliant

Good old George!

Just want to say it's ok if someone calls the instrument a Banjo or a Banjo Ukulele. People that aren't musicians is not gonna know it's called a Banjolele. To a non musician it does look like a little banjo. I just don't think y'all need to crucify everybody that calls it a banjo. It's not a big deal. Cut them some slack.

Lovely...

Brilliant harmless fun.

So sweet.

My dad used to watch these films

George as a romantic lead? Will wonders never cease?

I'm surprised this hasn't been a Cough n Cold Ad 👃🗣"''

Wigan legend.

Anyone that hears this and don't come away with a smile has a serious problem.

My mam used to play this in the car

Who the hell are the 36 people that disliked this

love this comment. i hope he does were playing one of his songs at mi dads he loved the guys films so much r.i.p george n dad hope u r with george chilling x

He must’ve inspired David Gedge & his Alternative Rock / Pop Band from Manchester, The Wedding Present 😁👍

I just got a Japanese advert..........I live in the uk

1:43 The look of a lady saying "I think I've made a mistake!"😊

George had lots of ukes, he could only play in one key so he many strung in different keys..

Those triplets are so clean.

@SrMorphine I couldn't agree more!

You can see his "George Formby" logo on the head of the uke.

Thre is a nice version of this song by the Liverpool band "The Fourmost" (1966)

The Eric Clapton of his day lol!

Roy Smeck was definitely the king of the strings, but something about George Formby that is incomparable.

I wonder if there is a link between this and Big Audio Dynamite's Medicine Show?

George Formby, the singing Gwynplaine

innuendo = Italian suppository Honestly, that's the charm of the song. It's leaning towards booze or something "naughty".

Well when everyone on the screen laughs after he says Auntie Maggie's Remedy it is sort of suspicious. Kinda hints towards a joke I'm not getting.

@witchdoctor180 Good for you! I often think that it's all in the mind - I have been listening to a lot of George's songs with their funny lyrics and those who call them smutty must have a smutty mind! ;-)

*WIGAN LAD and LANCASHIRE LEGEND*

His face looks like how I feel after I’ve smoked weed.

@sweatzy197111 I'm sorry to hear about your loss mate. Keep smiling, it's what they both would have wanted.

What does he say at 1:16 'A pain in your....." Sounds like Robert Dilley

It's not clear whether he actually co-wrote them or just insisted on his name being on the credit as part of the deal, but I read somewhere that it's more probable that it was some kind of business arrangement adding his name to the credits.

For those of you that think he plays a banjo, sorry to say but your wrong. He actually plays the ukulele. Just saying

♥

Does anyone know the chords for this on the uke? This is one I really want to play :D

Turned out nice again

Any maggies remedy what film is it in I wonder

i would have loved to ask peggy what she was looking at, while filming this with george,..... watch her eyes !!

Looks like he's only using a few chords, and seems like he's hitting the A, F and B-flat chords a lot, maybe a G minor in there, too. I don't know chord families very well, so I'm not sure what the other ones would probably be. Of course, he may have been using a different tuning than the standard GCAE...it sucks the filmmakers didn't think anyone would want to see his fingerstyle up close.

My Biological Grandfather-do I have to Pay someone to Watch my own Grandfather??????

He is there ages "peter kay"

Its a banjolele not a ukelele

That was the film that gave George a wife rather than getting the girl format of his usual films. It was also more serious than comedy#

sauccccce oh mother

I don't get the innuendo. =(

Does anybody know what Auntie Maggie's Remedy was? LOL

if only he had taken up playing the guitar , he could have been the first Elvis .

great in 2015 he will not be for gotten

let's get some smack up in us is right :p

Bl**dy Marvellous

@mkcwebmaster I suspect it was 50/50... I think he could off sat down with the writers and help write the songs and then he had his name put down for the money and what not

So taking this stuff causes diarrhoea

R k. The

Beatle George Harrison thought he was great.

Scomo could take a few lessons from George.
