Yet another great composition and performance. This one to me is really spooky, perhaps Neil's greatest talent was his adaptable voice. The ability to effortlessly change, and reproduce a wide range of genres. To parody and pay tribute to an artist with such precision. I stand to be corrected but is this the voice of Elvis? It's a very lovely sad song, and the weirdest thing is, if I sing along to it, I can hit the high notes, usually miles out of my range. But the most amazing thing of all is....this is Alan Partridge (as another comment has highlighted) twenty odd years before Steve Coogan invented the character.....or was this the inspiration? I guess that will start an argument! It wouldn't be for the first time......
All this with a wedding ring on
Neil Innes is a genius!
He was brilliant because he was empathetic
I love his suit, and Neil's voice in this is amazing. Ahh...bliss.

@arches56 hahaha, that is an awsome look on his face! XD oh fuck I love that crazy little brain of his.
I used to go to a singing dentist... I think I would draw the line at a singing gynaecologist though (even if it WAS Neil!)
