Mystery All my life has been a mystery You and I were never ever meant to be That's why I call my love for you A mystery Different country You and I have always lived In a different country And I know that airline tickets don't grow On a tree So what kept us apart is plain for me to see That much at least Is not really a mystery Estuary I live in a houseboat on an estuary Which is handy for my work With the Thames Water Authority But I know you would have found it Insanitary Insanitary Taken a violent dislike to me I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility That if we'd ever actually met You might have hated me Still that's not the only problem that I can see Dead since 1973 You've been dead now Wait a minute let me see 15 years Come next January As a human being you are history So why do I still long for you Why is my love so strong for you Why did I write this song for you Well I guess it's just a mystery Just a mystery Mystery

I'm currently enjoying the confounding search to pinpoint the exact genus of a mushroom I discovered on a farm a few days ago and yes, this song began blaring in my thoughts as soon as I realized I was in the midst of a mystery! 😂 😂
Honestly, that last part feels kind of real. Loved a woman from another country. She died 15 years ago, but he still can't get over her. If this wasn't intentionally comedic, you could make a sad love song out of it.
I have just come back to this after listening to Yesterday (Beatles). Am I imagining things or is this actually supposed to be a parody of Yesterday?? Now I can't unhear the likeness! It would tie in with Laurie's other performance of Hey Jude in this series...
BONUS VERSE Intimacy - Remember nights of our sweet intimacy ! Thooose tender moments filled with ... ecstasy ! Actually, if I’m being honest, I was solit'ry. Solit'ry : )

Fry and Laurie didn't need a laugh track, that's people actually laughing in the studio... they have quite a few bits throughout their show interacting with the audience
@@noddyboffin2988 I agree that they didn’t need a laugh track, I just wasn’t aware that it was recorded in front of a live audience. The laughter still bugs me though.

Thanks to this song, I giggle every time I hear the word "estuary".
And how often do you come across that word in daily discourse?

@@Nitromethanification I came across the word "estuary" today, haven't thought about this song in over a decade...and here I am.
Same, without a doubt. There's a street near me named "Estuary," so it goes through my head about twice a week.
Probably the only song I could bear in .... perpetuity
If only someone would pay you an ... annuity.

@@EriktheRed2023 aww, let's both take points for ingenuity.
This is simply pure genius. Why it's not more popular can only be considered a.... mystery!
Why this hasn't 26M instead of a measly 26K views is, well, you might have guessed, a mystery.
Hahahaha !!!!!!!!

This year you can replace 15 years with 50 years and keep the flow of the song
I was just thinking the same thing!!
The number one cause of failed relationships is one of the parties being dead since 1973.
My soul mate must have died in 1973
((I wasn't even born til 1990))
What a mystery
Mystery
All my life has been a mystery
You and I were never ever meant to be
That's why I call my love for you
A mystery
Different country
You and I have always lived
In a different country
And I know that airline tickets don't grow
On a tree
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see
That much at least
Is not really a mystery
Estuary
I live in a houseboat on an estuary
Which is handy for my work
With the Thames Water Authority
But I know you would have found it
Insanitary
Insanitary
Taken a violent dislike to me
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibility
That if we'd ever actually met
You might have hated me
Still that's not the only problem that I can see
Dead since 1973
You've been dead now
Wait a minute let me see
15 years
Come next January
As a human being you are history
So why do I still long for you
Why is my love so strong for you
Why did I write this song for you
Well I guess it's just a mystery
Just a mystery
Mystery
A bonus verse:
"Intimacy -
Remember nights of our sweet intimacy
Those tender moments filled with . . . ecstasy
Actually, if I’m being honest, I was solit'ry
Solit'ry
." : )
Thank you 🤗 🥰
This is my favourite Hugh Laurie song, and the audience seems to agree. I don't understand why it has so few views compared to the others.
I guess you could say... it's a mystery. 😅
I'll see myself out.
The audience isn't real
well, it’s just a reupload to youtube. i bet it was all the rage like 20 years ago when it was on TB
Dead since 1973 takes me out every time
Dr. House when he’s off his meds.
I love this comment 😂 I’m on season 4 of house
Who'd thunk that this same man would be a renowned blues musician.
I like how he repeats "insanitary" to invite the audience to appreciate the wordplay
Beckoning the audience
The comedic timing is just so damn good
Quite simply, the man is a comic genius; yet does equally well when he is serious.
Every time I hear the word estuary in a nature show I have to come watch this again.
Ok. “Dead since 1973” got me.😂😂
Wow, dead for 50 years now and it's still a mystery... Now that's what I call love! 😂
My parents sings this almost every time they say the word "mystery"
Same lol
Good parenting!
Such talent... ❤❤❤
Beautiful and funny. Hugh is great.
Hugh Laurie is actuall a most talented blues singer 😉 ...
This is so much better than it needed to be haha
This and the song America he did are classic. Wish he still did stuff like this.
8 years: 26k views
6 months later: 44k views
Gotta love that wave of nostalgia
This song is a journey.
Still the best thing ever!
🤣😅🤣 I've forgotten how funny this was..its been years.
And the voice just adds to the funny aspect.
I'm currently enjoying the confounding search to pinpoint the exact genus of a mushroom I discovered on a farm a few days ago and yes, this song began blaring in my thoughts as soon as I realized I was in the midst of a mystery! 😂 😂
I read this in Fry’s voice
@@idc5309 - 😂
couldn't love him more 😭😭😭

Will I watch this again? ...we'll just have to - wait and see
Yes!!!!! this is quite brilliant!!!!!! Hahaha!!!!
awesome
Who disliked this huh? Show yourself this is funny
JanUareeeeeeee.
This song where are you very emotional
Lovely lovely lovely
Lovelyyyyyyy
I come back here whenever I think that something is insanitary.
Nothing exactly nothing could make me laugh during this time of my life 😂😂
Did the audience actually twig that he was such an accomplished musician and was not just fooling around ??
15 years come next ... junYUWERy
❤❤
It's lupus
it's never lupus!
@@mercutio781 But, It could be lupus :)
Why cant I buy this on itunes 😞
@sixequalszero I'm talking about the song not the show
I have just come back to this after listening to Yesterday (Beatles). Am I imagining things or is this actually supposed to be a parody of Yesterday?? Now I can't unhear the likeness! It would tie in with Laurie's other performance of Hey Jude in this series...
I live in a houseboat on an estuary
I keep it docked near the St James Infirmay
Absolutely brilliant parody of Billy Joel.
50 years next jan-UA-ry
God.
She's been dead for 47 years now, and I bet he still longs for her.
🤣
BONUS VERSE
Intimacy -
Remember nights of our sweet intimacy !
Thooose tender moments filled with ... ecstasy !
Actually, if I’m being honest, I was solit'ry.
Solit'ry
: )
Awesome!
This should have been the theme song for the Velma show.
Anyone have the sheet music to this?
Is it, "New York State of Mind" a bit? Or did that come after this? Billy Joel seems to be a huge influence on Hugh.
*listing why he's not meant to be with the woman he's singing about only to mention at the end that she's...* 1:55
'Dead since 1973eee
You've been dead now, wait a minute let me see, *counting the years in his head :D*
15 years come next Januareee
As a human being you are a historyyyy'
Great comedy and sense of humour :`D
And his voice reminds me of Rowan Atkinson ;)
Jin-yoo-ery
I've found my people... 😂😂😂
JanYOUareee...😂
I'm having some di-fick-ulty with the lyrics
House is off his meds again 😂
Parasocial relationships before social media be like
Musically, what genre is this??
jazz
It's a mysteryyyyy
😂
Canned laughter is more of a distraction now than it was back then.
It's a live audience, not canned laughter...
I'm simply left with incongruityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... yy.
Wish I could listen to it without the stupid background laughs
It seems he just tried to rhyme mystery.
really?
That much is plain to see.
Try to rhyme a few times, at least three.
Play around with words, to see what's possibly funn ee.
More of your go to queer Okie politicians
Would’ve been so much better without the laugh track.
