Doesn't matter 'bout the nonsensical context of spacemen and the old 'lampost song' ~ Herman's Hermits were a wonderful wakky group with their lead cheeky chappy singer who always lifted the spirits when hearing their songs.

Some of the RAF & 8th Air Force Pilots & Aircrews used to sing the song in the Officers Club & Pub (I met one USAAF B-24 Pilot who still remembered the words!), so why not some Astronauts? 🚀👨🚀😉 (And by the way, this is actually a cover of George Formby's 1937 recording - the original song was a hit in England during the 1930's & 40's. I remember hearing Peter Noone tell a story about it, I believe his father had George's 78 from 37'? 🙂)
Not related, but the song was a hit in 1937, and during WWII in England. (Little known today surprisingly, and rarely associated with WWII?) I met an 8th USAAF B-24 Pilot who remembered the words (to this song, and quite a few others!), they used to sing it in the Officer's Club/Pub...

One of the first albums I ever heard as a child. From earliest memory one of my favorites songs.
One of the best videos on the internet.
Should've gone to Specsavers
I'm sitting in a spaceship in the middle of space in case a certain little meteorite cames by.
Thank you for this gem Poppy❤️

Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay from Bewitched, Colonel Crittendon from Hogan's Heroes) sitting next to Peter Noone in the space capsule LOL
Memories
You ever just, find a video that you can't describe fairly in words?
what is this song got to do with sitting in a space ship
Exactly what I was thinking........very random!
@@resonator_95 There is a set up for the scene in the movie ("Hold On!"), but it's been so long since I've seen it I can't remember what it is!
literally nothing

@@willzimjohn Thank you, but that still doesn't explain the context of why they are in the spaceship for this song.
