There a few things in life that reach the summit of absolute comic genius, this..... is one of them.

[@jonnydavies6968]

@Paul DAVIES I don't really care about the rest of Absolutely, some of it is OK, but this is STILL one of the funniest things I've seen, ever.

[@grahamstubbs4962]

The perfect rendition.

[@maddog8621]

This has consistently caused spasms of uncontrollable hilarity for 30 odd years

[@jjdecani]

Vic and Bob take note: THIS is how you do club singing!

[@herbert9241]

Yup, I think they did take note.

[@ianelley]

this was originally done by john sparkes in his show barry welsh is coming where the character gwyn sings this ... this programme is an offshoot of that ... if you want to see the original and better version of this go check it out!

[@thoomoo]

Ken Dodd take note this is how this song was meant to be sung

[@gavinstarling8737]

He also sang a version of this as Gwyn the twitching Welshman

[@John-wz7yu]

Now that's singing in the club style,

[@sidsmiff]

When I first saw this I exploded with laughter! Absolutely classic.

[@sloblock1972]

A spirited performance from the man Hovis.

[@sisterofnight451]

Wish I could sing like Frank 'on the ravatory' Hovis haha

[@68jroche]

John Sparkes. Genius. Now narrates Peppa pig with Morwenna Banks voicing Mummy Pig. She's the lady in this clip.

[@TheTk1971]
