It makes me wonder if, in hindsight, they could have been a little more subtle at 1:00 and not said the word 'ball' - the audience would have had to work harder to work out what Hitler had only one of, but the honk would then have been confirmation to everyone who guessed correctly.

English prisoners of war whistled this tune in the equally beautiful film Bridge over the River Kwai. They say that according to the original plan, they were supposed not to whistle but to sing, but the director had to change the script. Why? Yes, because the text of this march was not very decent. Practically, very indecent.) Hitler has only got one ball, Goring has two but very small, Himmler has something sim'lar, But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all. Hitler has only got one ball, The other is in the Albert Hall His mother, the dirty bugger, Cut it off when he was small. She threw it over West Germany, It landed in the deep blue sea, The fishes got out their dishes, And had scallops and bollocks for tea. 😆
Great stuff ! Brings back memories of our local Royal Canadian Legion, when after the prudes left for the evenings, my father would tickled the piano keys and the 'real veterans' & wives sang all their favourite 'bawdy' songs, picked up keeping good 'bad company' in British pubs. What an 'eye opener' for an innocent 18 year-old recently turned legal drinking age to experience. Ended the old child-parent relationship and opened the new child-friend phase.
There’s a lesser known second verse that goes like: “Rommel has four or five, I guess, No one's quite sure 'bout Rudolf Hess, Schmeling's always yelling, But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.”
I just find this song. I'm writing my thesis in education, and there was a reference to "Lake Wobegon", so I looked it at and I ended up seeing "The News from Lake Wobegon - 7/2/2016" Garrison Keillor mentioned "Limericks" I did not know was that, but I want to become a writer so I had to learn, anyway, Garrison mentioned this Limerick and I arrived here. This song is going to be with me for the rest of my life.

I remember this ditty from a very funny episode of "Dad's Army". Series six episode one 'Deadly Attachment' Watch this episode and then look at the superb German tv series "Das Boot" about a U-boat crew - there is a shorter film version. British humour during WW2 and the reality of what they were fighting against. Humour has a power all its own. Waffle over!
ROFLMAO! The "Hitler Song" is actually sung to the tune of the 'Colonel Bogey March'. It was used as the theme tune for the film, "Bridge on the River Kwai" back in the 1960s. I can never hear that tune without singing the "Hitler has ..." words, even during Anzac Day marches here in Australia where there is ALWAYS at least one band that plays it. I learned the words from a schoolfriend when I was a kid; she'd learned it from her dad who was a WW2 veteran. A grand old tune from the days when Britannia was great. "Hitler has only got one ball, Goring has two but they are small, Himmler has something simm'ler, and poor old Goeballs has no balls at all! Wonderful stuff!
the original plan for "bridge over river Kwai" was for the soldiers to actually sing "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball" as a form of protest but "Colonel Bogey March" was still under copyright and the estate holder objected to this and refused to license the music to the film if they went with this plan, so they came up with the whistling bit
I wrote a full version of the Daisy Bell tune when this sketch first came out. Testes, testes, the Fuhrer has only one And the best is poor old Goebbels has none And what about Goring and Himmler? Their problems are both similar They have two balls, but they're so small They look like they're almost gone!
My generation was played with Colonel Bogey but it went like this: Hitler, has only got one ball. Stalin, had two but very small. Hitler, has something similar, but that is nothing compared to mine.

Who ever heard a train horn and connected it with the first 2 notes of that song? Genius.
This is hilarious by itself, but the knowing laugh that comes the second the train honks is just the cherry on top 😂
Car honks

The fact everyone got it on the "honk" alone is hilarious

Can someone explain to me why the honk is a big deal
The nazi officer has a P38 and the soldier has a MP-40. Love the effort for accuracy they put in a comic sketch.
It helps that they have access to the BBC's props and costume department; and their resident historical advisers.
NCOs and junior officers have MP-40
Soldiers have Kar98Ks

Without doubt the best comedy sketch I've ever seen and the high point is not even a spoken word. Brilliant.
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever discovered on the internet
Check out 'Star Trek on Acid'
For some reason, I always hope to see Mitchell and Webb doing cameos in Armstrong and Miller sketches.
And vice-versa.
Well they did the one sketch together for charity. I really like both duos a lot.

It is interesting to think whether Reinhart Heydrich would have ever made it into the lyrics at some point.
He was one of the most evil Nazis - yet he's often the least mentioned in general.
Possibly because he was assassinated in 1942, and he didn't make it to the end of the war, yet it was he who laid the ground work for all the logistics of the holocaust, at Wannsee.
I think he was relatively unknown for Americans during the war. We only found out about his role in organizing the holocaust after the war.
what was the status of his testicles?
probably burned
Definitely because he was killed in 1942. Right when the war had turned into a truly 'world war'.
@@DGol2015 i think he wouldnt have got a team of assasins trained by british forces sent to kill him if it wasnt for his importance
When you realize that if Hitler indeed only had one ball nobody would ever know
Umm, he actually did. The Russians autopsied his body in 1945 and documented that he only had one testicle. Its all in this World at War episode:
ruclips.net/video/tuQAuGO9bnc/видео.html
@@goweresque So Hitler was angry because he only had one ball. Imagine if Hitler had two. Maybe there wouldn't be a genocide
He lost it to a rifle shot in the first world war I believe
A doctor has it in hitlers examination
LMFAO! Brilliant! That horn of the truck that pulled up outside won the war!
I think that was a train actually.
@@SPM0717 And the horn on a 1970s diesel locomotive at that!
Definitely a train, out of period, can hear the track sound
This isn’t even the full sketch. There is at least another 30 seconds showing German soldiers reacting to the song.
Do you have a link?

His mother, the dirty bugger,
Cut it off when he was small.
She threw it over West Germany,

And had scallops and bollocks for tea.
😆
I'm not sure if it matters much but according to Wikipedia the director cut off the lyrics out of respect for the original composer's widow.
I always heard that she lobbed it over a conker tree…
Weren't they just whistling the Colonel Bogey March?
Those heroes whose songs were sung but were themselves unsung should be sung.
This is the sketch that introduced me to Armstrong and Miller and by God, it is still my favorite despite all their other great sketches.
Great stuff !

The acting is superb, the whole series was fantastic 👍
This and their Kennedy Assassination sketches are two of the best sketches in decades.
I thought the “Testes, Testes, the Fueher has only one…” sung to “Daisy” was pretty good too. 😂
Was just looking for the song. This was above and beyond anything I could have hoped for
Don't remember seeing this sketch before, just brilliant.
Why is nobody in the comments talking about "If Hannibal had menopause up in the air"? What song would THAT have been?
As an avid WW2 History nerd I’m ashamed to say Man in theHigh Castle brought me here.
There’s a lesser known second verse that goes like:
“Rommel has four or five, I guess,
No one's quite sure 'bout Rudolf Hess,
Schmeling's always yelling,
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.”

Never seen this show before but this is a great sketch, very Mitchell and Webb-esque
I think M&W wrote sone of this programme so it could be.
Everyone is here cause of the man in the high castle but I'm here cause my step dad keeps singing it over and over again
Of you're here for the song it starts at 3:11
The funny part is the setup IMHO The punchline (song) is quite well known.

the original plan for "bridge over river Kwai" was for the soldiers to actually sing "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball" as a form of protest
but "Colonel Bogey March" was still under copyright and the estate holder objected to this and refused to license the music to the film if they went with this plan, so they came up with the whistling bit
The lorry horn cracked me up
That was a train 🚉 horn 📯 , not a lorry 🚛
Defo a train
The song was around when Hitler was alive
It'd have been worth getting shot just to sing it at him.
It was written by the british army to mock the nazis
this might be the funniest thing ive ever seen
2:54 that train horn is from a 1960s onwards diesel. WW2 in the UK was steam. But then I guess it wouldn't be funny - isn't it?
Lyrics:
*Hitler* has only got one ball,
*Göring* has two but very small,
*Himmler* was rather similar,
But poor old Goebbels had no balls at all
3:10 aaaah music to my ears
Actually I would have liked the Daisy Bell version even more xd
I wrote a full version of the Daisy Bell tune when this sketch first came out.
Testes, testes, the Fuhrer has only one
And the best is poor old Goebbels has none
And what about Goring and Himmler?
Their problems are both similar
They have two balls, but they're so small
They look like they're almost gone!
We were always taught that the other was in the Albert Hall.
They cut off the end where the Germans have a go at writing one too! “Churchill hat einen massive kock!”
