Inju, you might enjoy the, um, enthusiastic song stylings of Darlene Edwards, accompanied by her husband Jonathan Edwards - the alter egos of Jo Stanford and Paul Weston.
How odd... 70,363 views. That's only -half- of how many times I have watched and re-watched this. Today :P Absolutely hilarious. I love the song, I love the music, I love Dilly's piano work and all their silly movements. I squirm in my seat at how false and our of tune it is, and then I instantly press 'replay'. Genius. *Faves*
Fascinating Aida really are hilarious. They hit the proverbial nail on the head, every time. Lovely pastiche of Bob Fosse choreography and Marlene Detrich vocals. Hilarious!
It refers to a song titled "Johnny" that Marlene Dietrich (who had the reputation of being a bad singer, hence the notes out of tune) used to perform: ruclips.net/video/_iiedW09_2U/видео.html
so gemein - das haben wir nicht verdient, oder vielleicht doch...what about the winner of this years European song contest...not good?? Ok, ok, I admit - we are pretty bad when it comes to rhytmic feel and touch unless it is within a march - then we are quite exceptional. And German musical perfomances remind us most of all of an artistic excercise...but apart from that?? What about Bach, Schubert, Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn...? I am not falling for the MOZART trap - Austrian...gell
Saw these ladies in Aberystwyth! Fabulous Show
To anyone that has any form of musical training or someone with a natural affinity... this is incredibly hard!
Very clever and brilliant ladies. :)
Try it when you have absolute pitch. If you don't go completely mad, that is.

"I even have to move my own props" had me rolling in the aisles! And that was before the song!!
This song wonderfully, fabulously destroyed my ability to take any of Bob Fosse's choreography seriously ever again, whether in Cabaret or Chicago :D
This is hilarious - I love the fosse movements too for that extra touch.
Fascinating Aida are SO VERY CLEVER I LOVE THEM !
Have seen your live show several times. Always absolute magic!
I LOVE this song, Dillie! Great writing and peformance!
Dillie also putting her leg up always kills me, and then standing on the seat bending down. She can make anything hilarious.
Dillie has always been brilliant ! I do two of her songs. First saw the group in San Francisco, a long time ago.

Ausgezeichnet!
This reminded me of a song in Blazing Saddles that Madeline Kahn sang. ROFL!
Dilly's piano work there was amazing. Honestly. The entire thing was just wow. Hahaha.
This is brilliant ! I'm squirming !!!!
If the xfactor was full of stuff like this I would watch it, this is absolutely brilliant.
An indisputable work of genius. I'm off to watch a Marlene film...

Brilliant!!
Fantastisch!
Totally excellent
this did make me laugh, so i will add this to music spoofs
This is even better than the vinyl LP version, which was already brilliant.
Adèle!!! ❤
just chain smoke from the tender age of two.
that's how it's done XDDDDDDD
you gotta love the choreography. XD
Absolutely love this and them! Can someone help me out with what the “Johnny” part refers to?

brilliant
Honestly singing like this is really hard.
das ist der kurt weill/brecht parody... aber zehr gut gemacht... und witzig.. oder?
Wunderbar
@michaelash100 good point - I wasn't thinking!
Oooo, does this mean I can have a part-time career since I'm part German?
3:05 Planking, and this was from 2000!

And they first performed that song, with the same choreography, in the mid 80s.
classic entertainment, I'm not one for shows as a rule but I would want to see these.
They are fantastic live. If you have the chance to see them, go!
What instruments is Sarah Travis playing, I hear a banjo and a strange accordion but can’t see for sure?
I think she's playing a synthesiser and she's changing the instrument on it.
😂😂😂 jawoll!
@Qwinkly3 I can sing out of tune without trying.
Where do you drink girls?
was it the F.A or Joan crowe That sang this first?
Crahing Fox
It's an FA song, they wrote it in 1984.
FP4 Man Around then they played Edinburgh Fringe and appeared on TV with this song. An utterly incredible and original troup.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍
@woofer32 the xfactor IS full of people singing out of tune!!
And people think Germans aren't funny. Clearly "The Underpants" wasn't just a fluke.
BAHAHAHAHAHA *learns*

Um - it's a parody of Weil/Brecht/Lenya/Dietrich + Bob Fosse and Cabaret - very affectionate and very cleverly done. Gar nicht gemein!
She could have worn prosthetic hairy armpit stick-on's
