I know a lot of people have ridiculed this over the years - but I don’t think people get what they were trying to do at the time. What two GREAT ‘sports’ they were to do it - and it actually charted! I couldn’t stop laughing - especially the long verse where Hylda is getting all the words wrong as she sits Arthur in the Fairground Car! LOL
Just been watching Hilda & Jimmy Jewel in Nearest & Dearest. Brought back memories and then watched this video, well that topped it. What a laugh the comedies of old were. Brilliant. Xxx
Yes, me too, on the Rewind Channel. I remember Nearest and Dearest first time around but I'd forgotten how brilliant it was. Hylda was the greatest comic genius the North of England ever produced and we are unlikely to see anyone as good again. Diane Morgan was also born in Farnworth, as was Hylda, so maybe it's something in the soil!
Both were fantastic comics, especially Hilda Baker, but this song went down a smash in the drag pubs in the UK, we can enjoy taking the piss of ourselves, thank gawd.
Just showed that to my wife and she said she had never seen it ! On further questioning turns out her parents did not let her watch Top of the Pops back in the day. Blimey, the Amish of Bromley ...

Arthur Mullard used to always be at Highbury Station when I was on my way to school from King's Cross back in the early 70s. He was so polite and charming. And so very funny. Hylda Baker is hilarious, hugely under rated. She almost made me split my stitches after my appendix operation when I saw her on TV in the ward. I have this '45 - funny stuff!
Millard was a dirty old pedophile who raped his own 13 year old daughter and caused his suffering wife to commit suicide .. he also beat his wife for years . Mullard was a horrible man.
Can u please explain BRIEFLY!!!! what you mean A. Mullard he was a monster Maybe many like myself either forgotten or no heard. So , kindly explain in to long what you mean by your statement. Or claim whatever you wish to call it.
@@thestig8133 His daughter accused him of abuse and was backed up by her brother. They also accused him of DV and said that was why their mother unalived herself.
God bless the birth of comedy, it will go on forever, these guys reminds so much of being young when they were always on the box entertaining us..Nellie pledge and Walter were my favourites. Need a pickle right now, bye bye.
This performance comes across as sweet and kind of nice. Even if this was intended and planned and performed as pure comedy, something pleasant and agreeable came shining through. Could be something about the man's facial expressions and postures. The raunch and aggression of the original version is gone, and this is about two people expressing affection for each other. I would like to thank the producer of this youtube channel. I have enjoyed this (Note: have never seen these two performers before. I'm contributing this comment from the US).
Hylda Baker was MASSIVE in her day! You’d have been surprised how she was in real life; well made up, fur coats - lots of expensive jewellery and big flash cars, and yes; she actually had Toy Boys!! She got one a bit part in an episode of ‘Nearest and Dearest’ (not sure it aired in the States)
A girl asked me if me and her can play Danny and Sandy in a school play of "Grease" and I would've wanted to sing like how Arthur Mullard sang it and messed up the play! :P
Arthur mullard, was a bit of a monster in his private life, hilda baker, was a legend and the worlds funniest woman, catch her on repeats of nearest and dearest on that's TV 3 channel in the UK

@@jpc2470 Nothing weird about asking for facts my fine nom de plume social media commentator. Plenty of people have maligned their parents and then later admitted they lied. Good day to you.
Im not sure if they had even performed together before this. My guess would be that Queenie Watts was the first choice but she died just before this was made.
Hilarious! And so ironic I’ve come across this after sad death of Olivia N J recently! 😢😢🙋♀️🙋♀️ SO much great talent, now sadly lost from us! 😢😢😢 RIP 🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊🌈🌈✨✨💥🇬🇧🥰
I'm sure Hilda (Nellie Pledge) and Arthur Millard would have done much better job in the big film version rather than Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. Nellie Pledge is fantastic has Sandy with ONJ coming a poor second. Nellie Pledge looks too young for the part really. This is British comedy at its best and daftest. I wonder what our American friends think of this much superior version of "Your The One That I want" ? I doubt that they would understand the deliberate mispronunciation and double meanings to some of the words e.g. Meditate and medicate. Pure Hylda.
everyday for 3 months i used to go and sit on a park bench ,strawberry fields near highbury corner in london.i was pregnant at the time and baby was due any day.i had gone everyday for 2 weeks then arther mullard walked up sat down and stared at me then my tummy back to my face and said don't you think you are to young to be pregnant...so,i said ...and just how old do you think I am ...14 at a push he replied (i was going to be 22 after 4 weeks lol,some would say still to young lol but at least i wasn't that young) when i told him how old i was he said i would be grateful for youthful looks as i got older(so true) a few days after i gave birth to my baby girl a friend took a foto of me my baby daughter and arther together on that same park bench..i've hunted for this photo for a long time but i found it today...sadly this lovely person died in 1995,but i will never forget all the fatherly advice he gave me during those few months we chatted sat on that park bench,and he loved to have a wee hold of my baby too... r.i.p. old friend....heaven took you cos they needed u to entertain them there,
great song, eh! The Flipper Joke Thanks for reply! You will find it is the Flipper Joke which coincides with mutation of genome in womb via Thalidomide. It absorb quite well even at the level of the animal feedlot and will go right through the food chain and target human population growth. Once they have a few flippers being born vis a vis The Last Laugh then you'll find that they have no choice but to curb behaviour and fall into line Signed Uncle Arthur of General Macarthur's Chambers per Gene Rottenbury.
Who in their right mind bought the album (Band On The Trot)? Arthur Mullard looks like he's been set alight and slacked out with a shovel. Once saw him in "Vault Of Horror" as a gravedigger and he was frightening then even without make-up!

And our Arfur
She knows you know
One of the rare occasions when a cover is better than the original
Defo better than the first Matrix lol 😆
I hope you're having a laugh

Hylda singing about infection was hilarious. Loved it.
Celluloid and medication 💊 lol 😃
Wonderful ,pure class from very talented people , love the show's they were in,back in the Good Days of British Comedy .
God bless the souls of Hylda,Arthur and Olivia. Thank you all for the joy.🙏🙌❤❤❤

He used to beat his wife and rape his daughter. His wife committed suicide because of it.
You do know Mullard was a horrible man who abused his daughter right?, I hope he's rotting in hell.
Brilliant. has that wonderful touch of the "Carry On" films about it. Top notch.
does not get any better than this !
Really? Shall I get the cyanide pills then or will you?
Having that roller coaster go round what looks like a skip is a lovely touch
Touche. When youtube comments add to the fun rather than be demeaning.
Nice work.

You had a narrow escape. Mullard was a monster who used to interfere with his own daughter.
Millard was a dirty old pedophile who raped his own 13 year old daughter and caused his suffering wife to commit suicide .. he also beat his wife for years . Mullard was a horrible man.
Always loved this! They also recorded a whole album of covers called 'Band on the trot' which you may find out there pop pickers!
Arthur Mullard turned out to be a monster.
Yes sexually abused his daughter I heard
STFU. You're a disgusting vile shit stirring troll.

Ahh they were a good sport, still makes me chuckle 😅
Good old Arfur- his long-stemmed mushroom gag remains legendary to this day!
Never saw Grease,but this is brilliant,not everyone will agree,but to me ,it's fantastic.
Yes sadly its all. Ant and Dec and the x factor shite today. Comedy was great when i was younger. Steptoe & son. On the buses to name a few.
Don't forget Harold Wilson's Labour government.
Brilliant. I can'r remember ever seing this video. The record is a classic.
Fantastic comedy at it's best 🤣 pure quality
It's nice to know that Arthur Millard passed that toupee on to John Travolta. Passing the torch, so to speak... ;)
I laughed my moobs off all the way through that, thanks for sharing.

Absolutely 💯 class British at its best 👌
I had forgotten about this version until someone was asked about this on Mastermind on 12.3.10. Brilliant.
Pure class.
Comedy gold these two.

Im in tears i cant stop laughing
Sort of made more sense than the original record.
Absolutely brilliant
This video has lol all over it I've seen the movie and now I see this video and it is so funny and good at the same time.
Just brilliant 👍👍
I loved this Hilarious.
Thank you very glad!
Absolutely classic - thank you so much!!!
Love it ❤
Had to check this out from a reference to the song in The Vicar of Dibley lol 💜🎤
You say 'attempt at a grease classic' in the description, I think it's better. Fucking hilarious!
It’s brilliant
fantastic!loved nearest and dearest to!
Fantastic
Hylda baker was a legend from Bolton
Wonder if John Travolta and Olivia Newton John ever saw this? Bet they would laugh and be quite flattered. 🤔😁😂
I seriously doubt it.
Olivia can’t see it now. May she RIP.
Why isn't this viral?!
“she knows you know”.❤❤❤❤, Hilda’s saying !,,😂
MEDICATE in my direction!!
Amazing
Arthur mullard, was a bit of a monster in his private life, hilda baker, was a legend and the worlds funniest woman, catch her on repeats of nearest and dearest on that's TV 3 channel in the UK
Both naturally funny people,.. If you're filled with infection☺ HILARIOUS!!!
Legends!
Class!
Wonderful.
love it thanks
I love Grease, but gentle mickey takes like this just make life less unbearable at times.
The one I need...Oh YUS indeed...
Please remember to all the people who think some of our heroes are paodos, we all have our memories and we are not the Judge and Jury.
Yuss, my dear.
Yes. The presenter was Roy North of Basil Brush fame.
And also "Get It Together" with Linda Fletcher. Think this is from that
The Presenter is Roy North = Better known as " Mr Roy " from ' The Basil Brush Show ' in the 1970's !!
When killing a song softly is not an option, lol.
Loved mullard. Funny❤
My husband swears I was the only one in the country to buy this record 😅
Lol 😅 that's not true
Brillxxx
I never actually listened to the lyrics of this song until now HAHA
Hylda in this, reminds me of Les in Benidorm.
This Went To Number 1 😂😂😂😂😂💖👍
nope!
This was the man that sexually abused his own daughter, and beat his wife so severely she committed suicide... So call me cynical, but I find it hard to laugh.
Do you have actual proof of this or are you repeating gossip?
Total bullshit. STFU.

Good day to you.
Did Arthur Mullard have any teeth?
A grand total of £5 spent on the video, I see!
And did Arthur and Hylda even hear the song before they recorded it?😮
£5 was a lot of money back then, I think £1.50 might be nearer the mark.
Im not sure if they had even performed together before this. My guess would be that Queenie Watts was the first choice but she died just before this was made.
Dr 2Stroke yes! I’d forgotten he used to work with Queenie
Apparently Hylda Baker saw the Newton John/Travolta version of this song and thought that it was a cover of her rendition
Hilarious! And so ironic I’ve come across this after sad death of Olivia N J recently! 😢😢🙋♀️🙋♀️
SO much great talent, now sadly lost from us! 😢😢😢 RIP 🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊🌈🌈✨✨💥🇬🇧🥰
It would have also been epic if they did a take on Summer Loving.
Luv it 😂😂😂

its really difficult to tell the difference between this and the Travolta/NewtonJohn version :-)
Ever since that came out inhave always thought he sang "you are the one i want BETTY" ...am i the only one? Lol
Ha brilliant great people having a larfff
is this a scene from The greatest showman ?? :O)
Onslow's and Rose's Parents?
hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL ^3^
