"I'll put my sprouts on in Novembeeeerrrrrrr!" This is such a warm, lovely song. Who else would celebrate every life other than Victoria Wood? So glad that her work lives on.
How dare 12 silly lazy people sat watching RU-vid in their phones sit and watch a piece of art by an incredible woman who became so famous for her clean and award winning humour. How could you DISLIKE it. It's my favourite song ever actully
I've always remembered the line about saying "No way Hosea" and having "a mortgage that's the size of Wales" lol! You know if this song was 10 times longer I'd still love it -all the stories. xx
At 40 years old, i genuinely remember her playing this when it was broadcast on ITV, I must've been about 8. I've whistled it for years and now suddenly I've found it. Thank you. 😂👍
Victoria basically retired when Id discovered her at 13 years old. In 34 now, and I can still say she's one of the greatest! No one come close to her persona or comedic identity! Legend!
Victoria, thank you for being in my life and making me laugh so much, how on earth is this world going to live without you in it. I miss you so much but I am so glad you were here. I only mourn what else you could have given us, we love you.
I've just recently (relatively speaking) discovered this wonderful woman. I can just tell, she is a beautiful soul. Sadly, we lost her way too soon. ❤❤
So gutted about Victoria leaving us.. Along with Julie Walters, Jenifer Saunders and Dawn French.. They put womens comedy on a whole new level.. and probably the best of all has left us.. R.I.P Victoria.. One who shall never be repeated.. copied maybe.. but no one will ever be as good. :(
+Fingers Titan haha, i agree with all your sentiments , except, the suggestion that any person COULD be repeated, e.g., if your missing your friend.. just repeat them, then you might feel less bereft haha.
Now every Victoria Wood video on RU-vid is littered with tedious 'RIP' comments. These videos are here to be enjoyed. She put so much work into making people laugh, so all the bores writing the same tedious and unoriginal comments are doing her a huge disservice.
elvisleeboy It's called respect, if anything, you are the one doing a disservice by complaining about people leaving their respects to a well-loved entertainer.
Zoe-Jane Sutherland 'RIP' is a meaningless platitude, particularly when it is said by countless others. I think she deserves better than that. She deserves to have her life and work celebrated, rather than be defined by her death. Yes, her premature death was a tragedy, but the fact is, we are the lucky ones who got to have her for as long as we did.
@unitedwestand Absolutely. Similarly with the 'thoughts and prayers' rubbish people write before instantly moving on. It is self serving, because it is all about them and not really for the benefit of the recipient. They are doing it as a quick way to alleviate themselves and to be seen to be doing what they think society expects of them with the minimal effort required. Real grief is private and these attention-seeking public displays are crass and undignified.
I hope that Victoria found Joyce Grenfell coming out to meet 'little Vicky' at the Stage Door again, even though out of our sight. Live on, rather than RIP, Victoria! Life needs you.
My first time to see this, oh WOW!!!! Absolutely brilliant! She was such a talent, so sadly lost but thank goodness we can rewatch so much of her work. I love Acorn Antiques and Val De Ree, Dinner Ladies.... love it all!
OH MAN!! I've been looking for this for ages!! "I want to drink warm Rose and say No way hosea and have a mortgage that's the size of the Wales" looool! xx
Just playing a few Victoria ditties on NYE 18, my 3 year old son is now a huge fan, we've had to play this about three times and he still wants more! lol! xx
This is wonderful to see. You've done well keeping this up for so long. Most of my VW clips have been progressively banned over the past 3 years. Thankfully, she feels more prominent than ever now, with her statue just around the corner and lines from her songs adorning the walls of the public toilets, thoughts of her are never far away.
Revisiting these songs of vintage Victoria I'm realising they are not simply vehicles for her amazing ability as a comic lyricist (eat your heart out W S Gilbert, Noel Coward, practically anyone you can think of) but that the best of them, like this one, have such bloody good tunes. There's a danger that in gawping at her verbal dexterity and piercingly sharp observation, we under-rate her simply as a songwriter.
Will be looking you out for you, second time round. Sad today but you have left and given so much laughter - Reincarnation In Paradise...................
"I'll put my sprouts on in novemberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" Hahahahahahahaha,sounds just like my dear old mum,god bless her.She'd spend the 1st half of the month slashing crosses in the bottom of about 20 pounds of sprouts,then the 2nd half boiling them to the point where you could slurp said sprouts through a straw! Victoria Wood is the ultimate in observational humour.
Er well she had her 'awesome' moments,lol.Though she didn't often appreciate it when we'd have to ball our fists into our mouths to try to hide our laughter! But she was a dear & I do miss her. "I want to be Mrs.Pugh & live in an avenue..."
Sounds like your Mum and my Mum cooked their sprouts the same way. And my Mum's mashed potato also had big grey lumps in - I think that's why this song made her laugh so much.
I'm listening to this now with the auto generated captions switched on and laughing my butt off. "I want to have big bum chimes in a bathroom with a sharp pain sweet...." LOL!
