I first heard this on Dr. Demento back in the 80's when I was trippin out and it totally freaked me out. Actually it was the perfect sketch to hear at the moment and I did get it on tape cuz I always taped that show. Didnt know anything about Sellars at the time but now Dr. Strangelove is 1 of my favorite fliks but I never forgot the 1st time I heard that crazy voice. RIP Mr Sellers
I saw this is an article long ago, thinking there wasn't a way to watch it. Turns out I didn't read the article properly, and here I am. Tysm for uploading this.
This is so absolutely brilliant.... the combination of the Beatles, Dr. Strangelove as a Nazi fruitcake, and the segue of Wagner to the Triumph of the Will. Brilliant...and scary
Yes, in some cases very much so, and in other instances not at all. I guess it would depend upon an individuals own personal vocal tone, accent and dialect and their own knowledge and experience and personal skill in speaking English. Also how strained a person's voice is such as when raising their voice, shouting or when they are angry can also affect how they sound. When we mimic other people's then we do so by act of "stereotyping", stereotyping often present the wrong impression of people by over exaggerating the habits of others and is usually done for comedic value.
am I being stupid in trying to find a link between the accent/character and the lyrics or sentiment of the song?? or is the joke simply how unconnected the two things are in the first place.. I love most of Sellers works of comedy.. but I'm struggling to see the 'genius' in this. any meaningless little 3 second sketch/segway of his pisses all over this in my mind..
Sellers did four versions of this sing, this one being the most outrageous. Esp. in the Irish and Cockney version he managed to make the simplistic pop-song sound like something that might come up in a normal conversation. In this one he might have used his "Strangelove"-character and went for it. I find it very funny; of course the song's sentiment is MILES away from the Teutonic shouting, but that's the joke!!
Peter Sellers is an amazing I just love him ❤️ 😍 💕 💖 ♥️
Sadly my 45 of this warped, in the summer sun on my car, back around 1984 - great version

TODAY, 35 YEARS AGO
when
PETER SELLERS
(July 24, 1980)
was died
Mad as a hatter, but still genius!
Weird and Wonderful!
Ja! Ja!
(-: Hi R! I'm back in the land of the living...hope you are feeling better too.
So ridiculous! Love it!
I have this downloaded already
hee hee..thanks Mort. I've been going mad for PS the last coupla weeks. The ear's kinda back to normal now, it was awful. I don't want that again.
This just made me pee in my shorts a little because I was laughing so hard... KUDOS
Odd the music at the start - I have an mp3 of this from 15 years ago that just has the boots echoing down the corridor towards you at the start.
genius
הוא פשוט גאון!
legend! 8'-)
oh hell..too funny. I had to stop it at least 4 times.
So, here's a question from a German to English native speakers: Do we really sound like that when we speak English?
Not at all but it is a comedic voice that has just stuck, I don't know who started it. And don't worry, we mock everyone not Engish equally.
Nicht unbedingt....
Ja! Ja!! Ja!!!
Ein kleine mein freunde..ein kleine.
