"His scrotum isn't used to strangers There are no condoms on his shelf When his tones caress and soften When he asks, 'D'you come here often?' He is talking to himself." God, I miss this woman so much.
What was so wonderful about her, and what set her apart, was that, however clever her songs were, she never seemed to be saying "look at me, aren't I clever?". There was a great humanity about her humour, which invited us all to share in it. She was very special. R. I. P.
Just came across this song... definitely my favourite of VW's songs! Hilarious! I love the fact that as soon as she says "hanker" we all completely get it and break down in laughter... I was nearly crying!
Absolutely heartbroken, only two days ago I had all her songs on full blast, singing along with her and crying with laughter. Such a shame, what an amazing talent. We will miss you, Victoria.
I'M SO SORRY I DISCOVERED VICTORIA TOO LATE! I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF HER...SHE WAS SO VERY TALENTED... SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!! I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE'S GONE TOO SOON...R.I.E.P. SWEET LADY. (And thanks so much for posting. This is one of my favorites of Miss Victoria)!
I truly feel that I have lost a member of my family, I've not ever felt like this before over the death of someone I have not even met..........I suppose that is the true definition of a star...........
I feel exactly the same way! I heard the news of her passing on the day she died, I was so sad I couldn't stop crying! (She's my favourite comedian) When I woke up the day after I just wanted to stay in bed because I was so upset! (Yes you might think that's sad) 62years of age and no one knew she was ill… I just can't get over the fact that she's died! Been watching her sketches and comedy ever since I found them, and will continue to do so… only now it will be bittersweet knowing she's no longer shining her light in this world, but another one instead, and that we only have the fantastic comedy and hilarious memories left :( 💔 xx
+Child0 Music xx1 Thank you for sharing that. i thought i might have been going slightly mad but ive been having a hard time coming to terms with her death and i never met the woman! im still able to get on with my life, nothing has changed except that one of the greatest comedians of all time has passed away. Very sad indeed
I was very very lucky to get to meet such a wonderful woman and she treated averyone with such respect and normality it amazed us all x I still cannot get over her passing at all x
My heroine since I was a kid! Recently sat near her on a train - was desperate to say how great she is, but managed not to so! - difficult self restraint!
@@atadbitahistory9660 I've always seen Dillie Keane as Tom's successor (she acknowledges him as one of her muses), but had never realised that Victoria Wood is also part of that very small club. V could have done some of Tom's songs too, of course (although I don't think I've ever heard her sing anything but her own).
Look at her face at 1:09 after dropping 2 racial slurs in her first 2 lines- she was a comic genius! The reason people get in trouble for 'non-PC' jokes isn't because we're all too sensitive- it's because it's incredibly hard to do well, and lazy comedians try to get the shock value without earning it with an intelligent payoff. What a legend.
Spot on, she says words you just can't say in a completely inoffensive way. Absolute genius, I saw her live probably late eighties and she must have performed solid for almost 3 hours, what a talent.
I have to say the first time i heard this, I did a double take at that first line, but it's completely meant in a non-offensive way. Such a terrific song. And yes, I love the word "wanker" too. :)
I've just read through nearly 400 comments, and didn't get to _any_ negative ones until very near the end. Most show how much she was loved, and an awful lot express sadness that she was taken from us so young.
I’m listening to this 11 years later!! The world is in a pandemic and the world has become woke and lost it’s sense of humour with its mind!! They are cancel culture it’s called now. You would be cancelled meaning boycotting you. It’s horrible!! Watching this has made my day!!
What a class act...she will always be remembered as a legend who could turn her hand to anything. It's just such a shame I didn't know more about her/watch more of her stuff. Rest in peace Victoria Wood x
AWWWWWWWWWW VICTORIA!! COME BACK!!!!!! Miss watching this legend on the TV as stand up so much she is so fantastic and the only reason I do musical comedy today
This is wonderful. Never seen it before, can't imagine it'll get past the bed wetting censors now😂That speccy four eyes gag went VERY under appreciated by the audience! My sister was a huge VW fan and got to meet her. Don't think this is PG enough for her though... 😂😂😂
SDhe was a comic genius.I first saw her on a Saturday night talent show,which she did not actually win;but others with influence obviously recognised her unique talents,on an upright piano,that evening,as I certainly did.I swore that she would be BIG....and pleased that I was right.Loved you! R I P
Yes - very British. (Which in some ways is a pity because I'd like more people to enjoy her without needing to "get" references. But I guess Anglophiles will get them anyway.)
@@G6JPG She was a genius but definitely someone who wrote in the moment which to some will seem dated but for millions of Brits she was and still is a Comedy Queen.
@@G6JPG I agree it is all timeless if you have intellect and fun in your heart. I am just worried about today's younger people who want a jaundiced kind of comedy. There will always be an audience for Victoria just in my view not the amount she deserves.
Haha what a typical and boring comment. 'Nothing like this will ever be shown these days'. It really is a shame that we can't racially abuse people on TV anymore isn't it? You absolute moron.
Hard to believe that she has gone at only 62 years old.One of the real groundbreakers for women in comedy."Meatandpotatoepie" will always make me smile :)
The world has just got a little sadder and a little darker. A comic genius who found the humour in everyday things without ever being cruel or nasty. RIP Victoria .

"His scrotum isn't used to strangers
There are no condoms on his shelf
When his tones caress and soften
When he asks, 'D'you come here often?'
He is talking to himself."
God, I miss this woman so much.
I love how the biggest laughs come when it becomes obvious what the rhyming word will be rather than when she says it. Bit of comedy magic there.
Followed by a cheeky grin. :)
Wait for audience to catch on, pause, grin cheekily and carry on :p
Absolutely. She gets the laugh to the same line twice with only saying it once. She was incredible
Oh how I miss this genius. She was the best. Thankfully there is so much on TH-cam so we can reminisce as much. This is just brilliant.
What was so wonderful about her, and what set her apart, was that, however clever her songs were, she never seemed to be saying "look at me, aren't I clever?". There was a great humanity about her humour, which invited us all to share in it. She was very special. R. I. P.
The ordinary being extraordinary.
R.I.P. Victoria, thanks for the laughs. Too soon. Far too soon.
brilliant, love her.
And we will always listen to Let's Do it...
Wankers will be thanking her for this song. RIP
I know I do. ;-;
@@vyneaofficial ⁰0
RIP Funny lady. The world is a lesser place without you. Thanks for the laughs and sharing them with us. Sweet dreams x
she was supreme.
Talent of this calibre is rare indeed, Victoria will be sadly missed.
Modern Female Comedians can learn a thing or two from her
Lee evans male counterpart?
Crying with sadness and laughter at the same time RIP Victoria. Thank you.
This is quite simply a spectacularly well-written song. She was an immense talent.
The rhym-
ing scheme is in the honourable chain from Cole Porter, through Tom Lehrer, and maybe Flanders & Swann.
Just came across this song... definitely my favourite of VW's songs! Hilarious! I love the fact that as soon as she says "hanker" we all completely get it and break down in laughter... I was nearly crying!
I have just laughed my arse off! Brilliant!

I live two doors up, we were all concerned as you belted out your ability to handle half the tenors in a male voice choir
So sad, going to miss you lovely funny lady! R.I.P. Victoria Wood :(
i forgot how talented she is. such a skilled musician and singer as well as comedian. and so nice with it too.
I'M SO SORRY I DISCOVERED VICTORIA TOO LATE! I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF HER...SHE WAS SO VERY TALENTED... SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!! I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE'S GONE TOO SOON...R.I.E.P. SWEET LADY.
(And thanks so much for posting. This is one of my favorites of Miss Victoria)!
Seen the ballad of Barry and Freda?
@@georgecaplin9075 that's really funny
Rest in Peace Victoria. I Loved your comedy sketches!
Having seen Victoria many times on TV it was shocking to many people to lose a great comedian at such a young age.
Love you Victoria Wood....words cannot express how I feel about your passing.
What an extraordinary talent!! A much missed lady!!
62 years old...no age to die. Rest in peace Victoria and thank you for all the laughter.
Always a beautiful and wickedly funny lady....the world is a sadder place without you....I will love you until the end of time.....
She wove so much magic in her too-short life. Forever loved, forever missed - thank you Victoria.

Wow, that must have been awesome. she striked me as very down to earth and unassuming. Still hard to believe she's gone. :(
An absolute legend!!! Behind me over on the hostess trolley gets me every time. RIP Bren- the bestest dinnerlady ever .
R:I:P Victoria, so many laughs.....another star in Heaven with Wogan and Corbett...bet they will have a great laugh together...
+sweduk Jesus fuck I only just found out that Wogan and Corbett had died.
She was totally amazing. So talented and always right where the public attitudes were. She is so missed and taken from us far too soon.
What a rare and wonderful talent. She was just a clever witty woman. One of a kind. 😢
Rest In Peace Victoria. Will be missed
All these years later, and this song is more relevant than ever!
Timeless
+Storybellz Variety got no time for people being "Politically Correct" no need for it
Dammit Victoria, why leave so soon, you haven't finished yet.
The pause & giggle before "the word"... Brilliant.
Watched this so many times & still crying with laughter... Victoria Wood is a legend. RIP
RIP Victoria you were unique and I really sad to think you have passed. Thank you x
RIP to such a talented, beautiful lady
So clever, so brilliant, so sad that you are gone. Rest in peace Victoria Wood.
My heroine since I was a kid! Recently sat near her on a train - was desperate to say how great she is, but managed not to so! - difficult self restraint!
Great artist with perfect diction
3:24 that line was so funny. The timing was amazing. I also love that Victoria didn't expect it to get the reaction it got.
I've just realised how easilty it is to imagineom Lehrer singing some of her songs. This is a compliment to both.
Omg it is, I have always thought this and nobody listens to me

Class act, sadly missed and fondly remembered.
Three years since she left us, it doesn’t get any easier, I still miss her. Thank you for every laugh xx
R.I.P. Victoria Wood a shy genius thank you the laughter you will be truly missed X
“His scrotum isn’t used to strangers” is maybe the funniest sentence I have heard in years

Beyond hysterical.

I'm going on a Victoria Wood binge now, see you all later! :D

Same haha
RIP lovely lady - Pure genius - the likes of which we will never see again
So sad! She was magical. Rest in peace Victoria Wood.
A great talent. It's been a long time since I had a good laugh 😃. Too bad Victoria Wood is no longer with us. She left us way too soon. May she RIP.
RIP vitoria . thanks for all your funny sketches and songs you will be sadly missed.
What a class act...she will always be remembered as a legend who could turn her hand to anything. It's just such a shame I didn't know more about her/watch more of her stuff. Rest in peace Victoria Wood x
I thought I'd seen all Victoria Wood sketches, but I just found this one that I haven't seen. She's just brilliant!
A tough act to follow. RIP Victoria.
Hard to believe she's gone and the awful thought that we may not see her like again.
I love her, a comedy Genius ❤
so very sad...she.ll be missed...
She says what we all think & relating to her is very easy..top lady very on the ball..more like her please God...
"He can toss without a caber" - my FAVOURITE line!!! Absolutely love this song, think it's my favourite of Victoria Wood's :D
Nothing can surpass the Ballad. Though this is indeed very good!
Oh, my lord. I'm crying with laughter. How did she keep a straight face while singing? 😂
Staggeringly talented-absolutely one of a kind and sadly missed
RIP flower....you will be sorely missed....
Absolutely the best ..... we sometimes forget how clever these songs were, SUPERB !
AWWWWWWWWWW VICTORIA!! COME BACK!!!!!! Miss watching this legend on the TV as stand up so much she is so fantastic and the only reason I do musical comedy today
I wish.
God rest you, Victoria, a unique talent and one of the nicest, kindest, most generous people I had the great privilege to meet.

Saying farewell to a comedy genius, may she rest in perfect peace.
this is amazing, she is hands down a genius!!!
Still as funny as the first time I ever watched these sketches.....R.I.P funny bones x

Wow. Getting a real Tim Minchin vibe from this and I love it!
+Naaron Yeah, I wonder if he took any inspiration from her at all.
Maybe
🤣🤩how I needed this laugh,sadly missed Rip Victoria 💞
back when comedy wad actually funny lol xxx
"When his tones carress and soften and he says "Do you come here often?"..." That part slayed me. Too funny.
