I'm in Love with Steffi Graf | A Bit of Fry and Laurie | BBC Comedy Greats 

Pardon the pun but here's even more from these two chaps: ru-vid.com/group/PLZwyeleffqk4nBYE2jMQB9x3p0-YBstV2

“that steffi she’s an angel but she folds her wings and walks like you and me” possibly greatest lyrics ever written

"When hits that topspin second serve - I think I know the meaning now of love" - LOL the look on his face

AHHH! So much talent, the Laurie guy. I really see him going places.

His facial expressions are priceless!

Love the mannerisms and hair toss!

The hair tossing 😂 2:47

Thank goodness for the series House M.D. Introducing Hugh Laurie to the states. Otherwise I would never have known about the vast amount of acting, comedy and immense talent that he have.

What an all round talented artist!

1:37 Pure gold

Hugh Laurie is amazing. I adore this song.LOL

God I love this song!

"I fetch a knife and take my seat." A man after my own heart:)

This is probably one of the funniest things I have ever heard (or seen) in my life - and I have heard and seen so many funny things! This is especially hilarious for a German like me. Fry and Laurie are so great ... Stephen for his incredible wit and eloquence, Laurie for his deadpan humour and musical skills!

Though intended to be a comedy ended up being extremely melodious.

Interestingly I spent my early childhood in a lovely German town called Heidelberg, and would often see her (though I didn’t know who she was until much later) on Sunday walks to the local bakery. This songs theme is based on the attempted assassination of Monica Seles by a man called Günter Parche, who was a fanatical fan of Steffi Graf. Seles had beaten Graf in the German Open in 1990, which apparently caused Parche to spiral into suicidality. After taking “her” spot in the world leaderboard, all of Parches negativity focused on Seles, which he began to hate with a passion apparently even eclipsing his adoration of Steffi Graf. In 1993, then, during a game of Tennis in Hamburg, Parche stormed the field during a break and stabbed Seles in the back with a knife. The sustained injury was minor physically, but psychologically it was a critical blow, and it would take Seles over 2 years to play publicly again. Incidentally, Parche spent most of his later years in a care facility in Nordhausen, Thuringia, as I discover upon some research, where he passed in 2022. As fate will have it, this city is not unknown to me, I often drove by it or stopped for a break there on my way to or from my parents place to where I used to live (Leipzig). It’s kind of strange to think that I was in close proximity to a man who was so infatuated with a woman I used to stand in like at the bakery with that he was ready to attempt a murder.

Lol 😂. Hugh Laurie 😍

I’d like to see Hugh’s reaction to this now that he’s a legit musician now.

Genius!

What a brilliant parody of Brian Adams and his love sons! 🤣

This is actually a great song, did Hugh Laurie write the music and lyrics? Regardless, his delivery is amazing and I love his voice here!

1:32 I wanna feel that way about something

Scarily prescient from the scarily presciently look Rufus Wainwright alike

Oh, Hugh Hugh Hugh.

Only Hugh Laurie could make a fun romantic song about an attempted murder.

This is basically Al Stewart😆

Hugh sounds a bit like Al "Year Of The Cat" Stewart here...

who would have thought , he is the great DOCTOR HOUSE.

If Al Stewart had an uncomfortable obsession with a tennis player...

She's got eyes like diamonds, Hair like twisted gold. When she looks up to me, I feel my blood run cold Now, I don't care if people laugh (A-ha) I'm in love with Steffi Graf I watched her all last summer; I watched her every day She knew that I was with her, She didn't have to say She can run, but she can't hide She knows I feel deep down inside.. That Steffi is an angel But she folds her wings And walks like you and me She's extremely good at tennis On any kind of surface there might be Clay or grass She'll flay your ass And when she hits that topspin second serve I think I know the meaning of love Eastbourne never was a favorite The outside courts were damp She had a hamstring problem And recurring muscle cramp But she dug deep and won it just the same My angel never lost a service game But now, a shadow in the distance A girl with ponytails Sixteen and full of hunger The end of Steffi's trail I can't wait for her defeat I fetch a knife and take my seed 'Cause Steffi is a goddess My love for her, it knows no bounds I'd kill to make her happy, Or just to get her through the early rounds Kill or maim It's just a game But if I had another life, I'd chose To come back as one of Steffi's shoes 'Cause Steffi is an angel But she folds her wings And walks like you and me

...Where is the lid?

Now I don't care if people laugh. *A HA*

How much money do you have Hugh?

I tried to share this on Facebook and they said it violates their community standards. This is the second video in as many weeks with which I've had this issue. Who stuck what up Facebook's butt and why?

This is what happens to house if he doesn't take his vicodin

Poor Monica... :)

Roland Riveron on drums?

Steffi Graf? That was a while ago - around the same time the wall went down

I love this song, pretty funny until you get to the dark twist at the end

He sounds like James here.

Rowland Rivron! That's Rowland Rivron! Oh man this was funny but as soon as I saw Rowland Rivron it really made me laugh. That's 'Raw Sex' appeal... ;) (Thumbs up to anyone who gets that)

اكوا عرب هنا عهععع 😊💪💌💖💖❤💌💪

made my life so much better i went to bahamas and ate a truck, and then a carrot talked to me aha

This song is from the point of view of the guy who stabbed Monica Seles.

"Kill to make her happy or just the early rounds" is actually a pretty dark line considering a fan stabbed her opponent during a match

Hugh Laurie could have been one of the greatest musicians of our time. But he chose comedy and acting. It's hard to say that he chose wrong, but I do wonder about that alternate reality where British bands continued to dominate.

Monica be careful of this guy

where the lyrics, I cannot understand.

Amazing how dated a laugh track sounds.

Back when people had a Sense of Humor
