Cockney London Songs On Their Locations and Where They Come From
A cheerful, fun and charming look into all those London songs that we have sung for years at cockney singalongs. Joolz and Tom Carradine push a piano to the locations featured in many of these London songs and explain about the music hall performers who famously performed them and how they came about. A cockney sing along requires joining in!
We visit the locations featured in Doing The Lambeth Walk, Let's All Go Down The Strand, Knocked 'em in the old Kent Road, Down at the Old Bull and Bush, The Barrows in the Walworth Road, I live In Trafalgar Square and many more.
Other songs featured are Oh What A Beauty, Don't Dilly Dally on the Way (My Old Man Said Follow The Van), Knees Up Mother Brown, Underneath the Arches .
Accompanied by Simon and Kai (check out Kai's channel @WeirdSide )
And a lot of help editing and carrying by Lil Lost Lou @loupsyche

I’ve been to a lot of great cities, but none are more enjoyable than London, where you’ll find a story every five feet. And you’ll never find a more enjoyable guide than Mr. Joolz!
This was fabulous and charming. A talented fellow, in possession of a red bowler.
In these weird times with Canada going nuts and that Putin fellow trying to start a war this was a most welcome break from it all. There´s still hope when it´s sunday and a new Joolz video is out on the old Tube. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely My heart has always been particularly drawn to the UK History done with the accouterments that Joolz injects so artfully is delightful as well as educational . When I lived in UK, street history of London was my favorite part as well as architecture. Thirty years later, stumbled across ancestors information. Now I know why I'm addicted to anything filmed in UK. Certain areas were where my ancestors lived. Thanks Joolz

Excellent, thank you, Joolz. Tom Carradine is a superb entertainer.
This was fun and made me remember a tv show we watched in Norway when I grew up in th 70ies!! It was called «The Good Old Days» and was a sing along show. Remember the song the Old Bull and Bush! We loved it a lot😃
My mum (born 1918) told me that when she was a kid a piano would be wheeled down the road to any house without a piano where an impromptu party and sing sing was happening and often a barrel of beer would be transported on the open platform of a bus from a nearby pub to quench the thirst of those partying!

So my old man said follow the Van is about doing a moonlight flit without paying the rent hilarious nothing changes

Quite right , it was moonlight flit NOT midnight flit.
Like many people, I'm embarrassed by public performance, but I think I would find this fascinating. I'm so glad that Mr Carradine is keeping these wonderful songs alive, otherwise they might disappear.
What a fabulous video Joolz. I've always dismissed these songs as dull but Tom's background stories really brought them all to life. Thank you so much! 😊

As a lad born in the 50s I remember all us kids singing along to these at the local Granada Saturday Morning Pictures before they started the cartoons. They had a Wurlitzer!
Great video Joolz, thank you, thanks also to Tom Carradine and lil lost lou too. I know a lot of these songs, as My Nana (RIP) God bless her, used to sing these songs to all her grandchildren when we were kids, now in our 50s and 60s. She never owned a television. We all used to sit and listen to the radio, when we stayed with her.
Joolz you may have just come up with the solution to the rising crime going on in our cities today, a rolling piano. Your always on key. Thanks for making another Sunday morning fun. 💃
My mother used to sing down at the old bull and bush. It is fascinating to learn of the history. Sad that hardly anyone stopped to join in. I think underneath the Arches is my favourite though. Was shocked to find out it was about Derby. We all need a dam good sing a long. Well done sir.
My dad was born in 1909. I'm old. I remember many of these songs. As a teenager in the 70s max bygraves kept many of them going in sing alongs. Cock linit is usually refers to a canary
What can I say? BRILLIANT - thats what I call proper entertainment. Thank you to you all 😀
Thank you Joolz ! I think you may not know just how entertaining and informative your videos are. Your creativity is fantastic! I have been watching for the past 3 or 4 years. So enjoyable and waaaaayyyyy better than regular television! I so appreciate your videos.

Strike a light! What a welcome distraction, and no mistake.
Wow, the gang is complete! Joolz, lil lost Lou, Tom, Kai and Simon. I enjoyed watching this episode.
I came from Leicester and my mother was from Nottingham she knew all these old songs and would sing them in the kitchen.🎶🎹
Please stop my sides are splitting, not laughed so much in ages 'get off me sister', hahaha you guys are a class act🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jools. Excellent video Sir. Great performance by all. 'Ave A Banana! Wheel Out Me Barrer! Best Wishes. Alan.
Another Joolz Classic 😊
That was the most fun I've had of a Sunday morning in a LONG time!
Fantastic joolz love all your videos best content on KZread thank you 🙏🏻 🏴🍺
Marvelous, Joolz! I didn't want this vlog to end I was having so such fun. Tom is wonderful and I thank him for sharing the old music hall songs! Cool that you took us to the parts of town where the origins of some of the songs originated. ❤🤗😁
Loved this! Much of my family were Londoners and I can always imagine them going to the old music halls! Tom Carradine is a genius
My favourite guide so far , love those songs , I got when I was child a tape of all the eastenders cast singing most of them , brilliant memories, have a banana 🍌
Stepping out in my old manors! I lived in Camberwell until 11, Moved to Walworth and worked a barrow in East Street as a teenager, Moved to the Lambeth Walk at 21 and Did my drinking in the Old Kent Rd!
Many years ago, a friend was stationed by the U.S. Navy at a laboratory in London. He compiled a list of 100 things he wanted to visit. A year or so later when he returned to the States, he'd visited these places but had added another 100. I wish I had the list of 200.
That was so much fun! Just what I needed for a dreary morning in Toronto 😁
That was great fun. There was of course Vesta Tilley on the music hall scene, but she never seems to get a mention. She lived down here in Hove in a mansion block on the seafront for a while and has a blue plaque.
I love when Joolz and Tom team up. This video and the penny farthing video are a couple of my favs. Next time I visit London I will be sure to visit the cockney sing along.
That was very enjoyable, interesting, and yes, downright educational. A big “thumbs-up” as always. Cheers from the USA.
Bloody brilliant! As an American, I do not know these songs (except a couple of them.) But, I've enjoyed them in your videos. It's so nice to hear the history behind them. THANK YOU to Julian, Tom, Lou, Kai, and Simon for this most wonderful video 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed the old London songs. Thank you, Joolz and your musical mates.
This episode is an absolute delight. A smile and tapping the toes pops right out.
That was so fun! That was delightful. Taking fun and laughter around London. I couldn't stop laughing. I'd love to attend one of Tom's shows maybe I'll get to do that one day. All those songs are very familiar to me as they used to be on the radio all the time when I was a kid,Sing Something Simple or Friday Night is Music Night etc. Also,bring back The Good Old Days ( in some form). Grand video.
Nice moves, Lil’ Lost Lou!
Thanks for the memories. My mum was a Cockney (came to the States as a war bride), and taught us so many of these.
Great, jolly 📹...well done Joolz , Tom and Lou ....its a shame Cockney Tradition is fading away in Large Parts of London , oh well ! . Looking forward to your next Video already .
Jeepers, this is just the best. Profoundly educational and entertaining. Thank you for spreading your unique brand of good cheer. 👏
Great Video. The reference to Marie Lloyd was interesting. Lloyd was involved with the Dr Crippen saga as Crippen's wife liked performing at the Music Halls but was allegedly awful. My father who made many British Films tried to make a film about Marie Lloyd who was possibly the first proper real Pop Star!!
I can't believe how empty the streets are! Was this at 8am on a Sunday??? Also... another absolute classic video of my old home town. Joolz is a KZread and London gem! Along with Tom and Lou!

Had a smile the whole time watching, beginning the day right
The best time I had in London the last time I was there was at Tom Carradine's Cockney Sing-a-Long at Mr. Foggs. Honestly it is the best time. Everyone there was so lovely. And as a die hard Joolz fan, I knew a lot of the songs. Tom is a delight in person as well. I cannot thank him enough for the wonderful night I had with my mom. There was a surprise appearance by Joolz that night as well. It was such a treat.
Thank you to Joolz and Mr Carradine for the music to lift our spirits and the videos to educate us.
I love all those London songs . And your guest - HE is unique London s entertainer...give him my kove🎼🎵🎶I would like to sing with him...🤗🎼🎵🎶Thank you Joolz...🙏🌹best wishes from Bgd,Serbia
Smashing great fun! Now I definitely have to watch an episode or two of The Good Old Days next! "Down at the Old Bull and Bush!"
Brilliant, fun and very informative. Well done I sang along to every one... well me Dad was from Bethnal Green and me Mum from London Fields... so near enough I reckon!
That was fantastic. I really enjoyed it, singing on sunday, remembering my granny and grandad, singing these songs, when i was a child.
Thanks Joolz! It was a lot of fun
I just love the idea of a guy pushing a piano on wheels around London….. so wonderfully eccentric but so very British… well done folks xx
Your favourite jumper, a mug of cocoa, a comfy pair of shoes, everything is alright in the world, that's exactly how I feel whenever I watch one of your vids Joolz! Thank you Xx
Wooohoo just sat down got lunch and this has been uploaded. What a treat!
Great vid as usual. I lived in the East End for part of 1968 (young Canadian abroad). I heard many of these songs first hand in the many small East End pubs of the time. By the way my favourite pie shop was right beside the house of the Krays mom. Nothing like a knees up at The Blind Beggar. Interesting entertainment at the interval!
This should become a regular feature. Loved listening to these old songs.
Thank you for another great video. Very informative and fun.
A lot of memories coming back from when we used to sing these in primary school during assemblies :)
Oh dear! What a brilliant video! I shall watch this over and over again. Those old Cockney songs shall endure forever. And not just in old London Town. But right throughout the UK! Yet, further afield, like everywhere around the world. It was said once that the sun never sets on the British Empire. Well, today it's a fact that the sun never sets on British entertainment. I was born, and live in Australia, the son of a Scotsman. But I'm moved (even excited) by those old cockney songs, and I'm a very young 76 years of age!

Loved this though a Yank, (with an MBA from the U of Leicester) I grew up with much of this music. My mom was faithful to my dad but if the chance had come to offer herself up to Stanley Holloway she'd might of. After his success in My Fair Lady he recorded an album of music hall songs - Ere's Holloway. I own it to this day and I gre up on this music. I once stood in Trafalgar Sq and sang I Live in Trafalgar Sq. I have been occasionally been known to sing It Will Be All the Same...
After a sh1t day, this video was a life saver. I’m defo going to track down the pub and the perform et. A token of sanity in a mixed up world. Thank-you.

Hearing "Trail of the Lonesome Pine" was a shocker. I'm typing this sitting 5 miles away from Big Stone Gap, Virginia the home of author John Fox Jr. who wrote the book. It was adapted to a stage play and I acted in the show for five years back in the '90s in the town of Big Stone Gap. We sang that song in the show but I think was originally written in the 1930's or around the time one of the movies based on the book came out. Thanks for bringing back some great memories! Hope we run into you in London next month. Cheers!
Again a great and funny musical video. It reminds me of the musical of Oliver Twist where the people of London were singing and dancing.

One of my earliest memories is going down east Lane and having roasted chestnuts and Sarsaparilla, or pie and mash and a bowl of eels. I live in the sticks now, where most cockneys now live. Kent,Essex, and East Sussex are full of us.
