I was 13 and will remember it forever!! I can see from comments that my age group seem to be selecting it for their funeral! It does always make me smile - I love Dud!!
I have already selected it (along with always look on the bright side of life) and my family know that I'm (for once) being completely serious about it, and I'm 14. 😂 I have literally made all my family promise
I just wish those two were still around today what fun it would be and duds what a pianist and voice. .. I can see them both now in the pub here you know what ???
On this day in 1965 {July 2nd} Peter Cook and Dudley Moore* performed "Goodbye-ee" on the British ITV network television program, 'Ready Steady Go!'... At the time the song was at position #36 on the United Kingdom's Official Top 50 Singles chart, four weeks later it would peak at #18 {for 1 week} and it spent ten weeks on the Top 50 chart... Peter Edward Cook passed away at the young age of 57 on January 9th, 1995, and Dudley Stuart John Moore died on March 27th, 2002 at the age of 66... May they both R.I.P. * The following year on April 22nd, 1966 they appeared for a second time on 'Ready Steady Go!'...
Wow I remember parts of this song, though I didn't know it was Pete & Dud who sang it (well I was all of 3 years old when it came out)! I especially remember the bit - Goodbye goodbye, we're leaving you ski-dlee-dah, goodbye, we wish you fond goodbye fa-ta-ta-ta, fa-ta-ta-ta! LOL. Thanks for bringing back that memory, I haven't heard this in decades!
Retroman - you are right, Cook or to use his real name 'Petr Gotovit', was after his death revealed to be the previously undetected sixth member of the Cambridge spy ring. Gotovit evaded capture, escaping to the Soviet Union hidden inside a grand piano belonging to the Krasnoyarsk Symphony Orchestra which had played a concert at the Albert Hall.

Have you read his biography by Rena Fruchter ? well worth a read, therewas so much more to Dud !

Loved Dudley Moore. How he got those high notes I will never know. These two are sadly missed

@anonUK This clip is from the UK Pop Show "Ready Steady Go!" which ran from 1963 to 1966.
You can run but you can't hide. These guys were well aware of that.
This was the warbler that we used howl at.
Thats right cenatv2. Also if that very piano was auctioned on ebay , it would be worth big money.
Love em both but cant help noticing Peters obvious envy of Dudleys musical talent
Good call,Knackeroo
Is that Paul McCartney at 1:19?
Quite possibly, the Beatles were on Ready Steady Go quite a bit.
Those Brits clapping ON the beat: Are they leavers or remainers? :-)
Jesus wept. How the fuck do you get to that from the genius of Dudley Moore and Peter cook? You pathetic cunt!!!
Another Michael Bentine favourite?
Is it just me or is Peter Cook speaking in a Russian accent in this?

Does anyone know the piano music to this?
+Tom Cuffin-Munday Dud wrote it.
Could do with less of Moore's silly mugging.
