Here in Aus we use several terms for the toilets including toilets, the ladies, the gents, the loo, the dunny, the outhouse, the shitter, the thunderbox, to name a few. Men will often say they're "off to shake hands with the unemployed", have a slash, to piss or pee. Ladies used to go to powder their nose or check their make up but those terms are rarely used now and replaced with going to pee. Great to see you thoroughly entertained by this song, I howled with laughter the first time I saw this clip when it came out too.
You obviously haven't watched enoigh Young Ones to have not expected that!! Oh and DDF is my FAAAAAVOURITE!! Toilet is totally acceptable in both the UK and Aus.
Cliff was the English "Elvis" in the late fifties/sixties until The Beatles took over the music scene and turned everything on its head. This was one of his big hits from that time, resurrected in this version for charity I believe. The Young Ones (named after another of his big hits) were a bunch of mad buggers, with Rik Mayall going on to star with Rowan Atkinson in the Blackadder series. The bespectacled guitarist taking the solo was the legendary Hank Marvin, leader of Cliff's backing band The Shadows.
😂😂been a while since I’ve heard this one. What a laugh. My Mum loved Cliff Richard so his records were played a lot in my house. I love his duet with Olivia Newton John RIP, called Suddenly too
In conjunction with the "Band Aid" music charity there was a comedy concert where the Young Ones appeared live on stage and they did this song, but not with Cliff. I don't know why he didn't show, but they did it with Bob Geldoff who sang the first part with the microphone not yet turned on Prior to the music they did some rather dirty humour
Thanks for the best ever rocker singer and guitarist
Cliff and hank
This song actually topped the charts in Australia when it was released. Another great memory.
I used to love the Young Ones.. great show..
I still do😂
Brilliant, love it! The Young Ones were fantastic.

We say toilets as do the Brits. Aussies say about 1/2 British stuff and 1/2 American and then there's all the things we shorten and just make up. 😜
We say the loo in Australia and you should check the same song without the young one
the loo at home but out and about . the toilet ,,,,,,,, and you should watch the goodies . kitten kong was the best episode
There is a live version of it……. Hilarious!
I call it the shitter 🤣
