lol this brings back so many memories for me ....back in the 90s i was part of an entertainments team that did drag ect and this was one of the numbers we used to do! still love it classic two ronnies ..i always loved their finale sketches / skits at the end of thier shows were they took well know songs or music and changed the words or added thier own like in this instance! ..sadly now some have been cut from episodes like this and a black and white minstel one or the skit on motown the supremes they did as they are no longer PC ...its a shame realy as they were of thier time ect and the 2 ronnies were comic geniuses ! ( i much prefered them to morcambe and wise who just did the same old thing every week) not that they were bad or anything but just prefered the 2 ronnies as they wernt afraid to dress up in womens clothes ect and basical send up anyone and anything including themselves! 😉❤
I dont know how BUT back in the 80s / 90s i worked in a nightclub as part of a drag show and they had this (obv taken off an album) and we used to do it! ...BUT i know what you mean iv been searching yt for ages to find the actual televised performance of it as i hadn't seen it !
I have the album since I was a child in the 70s, The Best Of The Two Ronnies, there's definitely a few differences between the studio recordings and the televised versions, even if it's just a slight change in the delivery or tone or lyric but in the case of The Boys In The Band there's a few differences in the lyrics too. Thankfully though nothing was edited out, to appease Mary Whitehouse. I'd say the sketch went down great at a drag act@@dizzydevil547
I love Classical Ballet when it's done right in the boys do it so beautifully. The British of wonderful at doing the sort of thing I think if we try to do it here in the states it wouldn't be right it wouldn't look right somehow I know I'm not explaining myself very well but I think some of you will know what I mean I hope
Not really. I’m gay and I find this hilarious and not offended at all. Don’t forget most of the outrage is often by a small group of screamers - just look at Greta.
Now the two of them have gone, clever comedy without swearing etc has died (for me) I appreciate the young stand up generation, but a lot of it to me is not comedy. The two Ronnie were not only funny but so clever with their musical sketches and with RonnieBarker his different accents and wordplay. Now we have Sarah Millican etc etc. I’m not decrying what they do but to me they are all so predictable now and they all seem to like either swearing, or lots of sexual innuendos, and I don’t then you have to do that to be funny. Anyway, good luck to the up and coming comics of today, but I won’t be watching, and I’m sure they couldn’t care less
Bloody brilliant, so funny. Thank you so much for making me laugh. Adore the Two Ronnie's. They were outstanding with their gift of laughter!
One of their funniest. "A flat behind" - leaves me in stitches.
'He's got a room in Euston and she's got a flat behind' classic
I love how the dancers do their stuff anyway! Especially the man lifting the ballerina.
As a gay man I find this absolutely hilarious - and extremely accurate! 😅😅😅
Same.
They were just so talented!
Got to admit the dance of the sugar plum fairy fits in so well with any comedy skit xxxx 🩰 😝
Lyrics (and funny ones) set to a suite that was meant to be instrumental. LOL!

The lead ballerina almost smirked at the first comments they sang lol
Brilliant as always.
Nicking the flowers made me laugh out loud!
Class, pure class!
Can you imagine the uproar this would cause if shown today, back in the good old days when folk could take a joke, sadly missed
Very true indeed :(
The thing is, it's only the minority who are offended not the majority, but it seems the minority of people over rule the majority
they just shout louder, especially on social media@@euromusicfreak

No cue cards here! SNL take notes.
Brilliant ballet parody. Who knew!
Look at Casanova, feeling glad all over 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pure genius
Original shade the musical lol
Most of him is padded,
Yes it's sticking out a mile.. 😃
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you very much😊
Technique generally good, thought the stage background looked more like Swan Lake
Lol. I don’t think it was meant to be an accurate representation!
Fantastic.
Amazing!

Why are they called 'ball. Arenas. Transvestigation into ballet.

Your comment is spot on. 😀
There was a great deal of sexual innuendo if you listen carefully.
What year

Oooohhhh

Let's face it no matter how good they may be there's always something ridiculous about male ballet dancers!
