Hugh Laurie's Protest Song | A Bit of Fry and Laurie | BBC Studios 

Since the first time I heard it, I always followed his advice. Changed my life.

What a way to spend an afternoon, watching endless amounts of Fry & Laurie.

Comedic genius aside - Hugh is a kickass of a musician ... self-taught as legend has it

if only we had followed this advice all those years ago, we wouldn't be in this mess right now

It's just classic, clever comedy. Not only is it a clever satire of self-righteous folk music, it's very physical as well. Hugh sells it so well! He manages to convey confusion, sheepishness and guilt all in one skit. He even looks relieved when he gets the last "vodka and lime" bit out.

This wouldn't have been nearly as funny without his facial expressions. Sign of a good comedic actor. Or rather, a good actor, for that matter.

0:43 - literally the most adorable moment ever😭

The multi-talented Hugh Laurie is greatness . I am Canadian by the way, and I have followed his career since his " Blackadder" and "Blackadder goes Forth" days. I enjoy "House" and " A bit of Fry and Laurie", but I think my favorite Hugh Laurie program was another series he did with Stephen Fry, in the early 90's it was called "Wooster and Jeeves"

He is so timeless and brilliant - multifaceted talent.

Love his mock-serious delivery!

I love his comedic songs because of their ironic (but undoubtedly deliberate) depth. This song for example. The idea is that we have no clear solution to the challenges before us.

all weve got to do is (mumble mumble) right now! Truer words were never spoken lol

1:43 "We got to... *hemmnna*- time after time..."

I wish they'd do something together again!

Well the world is getting weary And it wants to go to bed Everybody’s dying Except the ones that are already dead

0:39 that little smile so cute

"...vodka and lime."

His advices helped me during this pandemic time.

he looks so pleased with himself at "caroline" xD

Truth be told, a lot of hit songs went through this phase before they were released.

@ 0:39 he couldn't even resist that smile

As well as being funny it's actually a genuinely good song

One of his best songs. Pure genius. :)

How can anyone NOT like this? I do feel pity for them...

Man, Hugh Laurie's funny, that mumbling captures Bob Dylan perfectly!

Hugh is such a rare talent!

I love that he can play the harmonica and guitar at the same time. I can't play either of them.

When he says "auhehuaee" i feel that

Nice Bob Dylan parody

Hugh Laurie really has a lot of range as a performer

This seriously cracks me the f*%ck up 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I saw a biography of Hugh Laurie and he is very smart and extremely funny! He is a very talented man!

The best part is 0:39 where he lets out that little smile. No matter how many times you rehearse, some things will always make you laugh.

Why did I start laughing before he uttered a single word off the lyrics 🤣🤣😹

Every time I had a rough day, I went here to had a good laugh. Thanks ❤

POV: you are listening this because you have to do it for a music lesson 😂

brilliant :D I love laurie in everything, its amazing that he can be such a great comedian and actor :)

i love him!!! he's uber talented...and the lyrics are so funny hehehe

Hugh would have been a fantastic Dr Who but maybe he was too talented for that

The answer is forty-two I believe...

Brilliance beyond words

This seems like a good anthem of the "now"

You go, Dr. House! The range of this man never ceases to amaze me.

love this man!

I simply adore this man:)

This really is just a one-joke thing, the brilliance lies in how the delivery manages to sustain it for almost two minutes.

So cute❤️

This is definitely one of the songs of all time.

this is a hit.

i can watch him all day.

What a great laugh! I love Hugh Laurie!!!!! So funny!!!! and good looking too!

"all we gotta do is..." whaaaat? :o lol

They frequently get it wrong. Well done, regardless :).Love these shows - A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Wooster and Jeeves - classics!

Man he is such an accomplished musician and actor.

hilarious! my 2 favourite artists :-D dylan and laurie :-))

Maybe this is the best one of Hugh and Laurie!

Abidingly brilliant.

"We've got to...wuzzwizzum..." xD

That's funny as hell.

Perfect!

Words to live by.

He sang this exact same song on SNL 25 years later...

so talented!

Excellent! This is so funny :))

he did this on snl awhile back, and it was fantastic.

this just delivered

It's still catchy, lol.

Brilliant

He has engaging tone.

A very fine mis-interpretation, accurate hahahaha loved it!!!

Wow, so inspirational! And he's right.. that's just so easy, everyone can do it! :D

Fabulous.

LOL this is actually a well-written song!

Oh my god he is so handsome

That is how I behave when I forget on podium

115 people disliked this solution for poverty and war. So ignorant.

We got to vote and we did! lol

i loved him so much before house!

Hehe I must say, Hugh Laurie is GREAT!!!! really funny :D

This is one yank who does remember him from Blackadder. Yes he has done alot before House-all of it damn good.

He sings even better here than on Jeeves and Wooster! Seriously, Hugh's got some serious talent.

>WHAT DO WE WANT? "WE DON'T KNOW" >WHEN DO WE WANT IT? "NOW!"

haha i thought the same thing as well .. hilarious!

bloody hell. layrie is a great musician. harmonica and guitar at the same time. :o

I never comment on youtube but I have to say I laughed so hard at your comments I actually peed a little!:D Kudos!

I like the song

Sono italiano e capisco poco l inglese...ma sono piegato dalle risate! 😂😂😂😂

Brilliant sly commentary on rock stars doing protest songs...without really knowing what they're protesting about in many cases.

HAHAHAHA, hilarious!!

I LOVE HUGH LAURIE!

he's a good actor in house. a bit of fry and laurie, though, is bloody genius.
