Only way to describe this is pure British Comedy Gold. Absolutely hilarious.

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 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

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

Never saw Grease,but this is brilliant,not everyone will agree,but to me ,it's fantastic.

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.

It's nice to know that Arthur Millard passed that toupee on to John Travolta. Passing the torch, so to speak... ;)

Always loved this! They also recorded a whole album of covers called 'Band on the trot' which you may find out there pop pickers!

Good old Arfur- his long-stemmed mushroom gag remains legendary to this day!

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

Just brilliant 👍👍

Love this my thanks to Johnny Deluxe for sharing!

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).

Both naturally funny people,.. If you're filled with infection☺ HILARIOUS!!!
