The feelings I have just experienced listening to that are amazing. Nostalgia being one but jealousy being the prevailing one. I bet that was an amazing night👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@gingerking76]

Utter genius😂👍🏻

[@andycampsall3832]

I love how this legendary song has lived on from a classic comedy series from 1996 😂❤

[@sarahwoolley79]

The whole series has never aged. Good on Neil for playing this still!

[@the_grand_tourer]

Try and explain this to an alien who has just landed. ‘Well there is this thing called tv, and comedy, and vicars on a rocky island, this guy he plays music, the vicars who are actually comedians try to be musicians … ah feck !’

So moving.

[@garymoore6041]

Thank goodness for Neil Hannon

[@garethharkness1823]

Why am I crying?

[@garymoore6041]

The song reminds you of the scene and you smile at the rapport between Ted and Dougal.

[@cr989]

This is brilliant, wish I’d been there!!! 🐎😂🥰

[@bustedfender]

How cool to be able troll yourself and lift the vibe beautifully while also maintaining a sense of dignity.

[@borassictime918]

Fabulous. I wonder how many people think the sing actually won Eurovision? 😆

[@ds00044724]

Given the state of this years Eurovision Divine Comedy should sing it next year it’s a great catchy song and might actually win

[@WhiffTheRubbishEngine1869]

This is my favourite song and that fact will never change! Now I have a full version. Thank you!
