Great hilarious mixed parody/satire on American Rhythm and Blues music and dashes of artists James Brown, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and a pinch of Jerry Lee Lewis even.
There is a part that is missing around the 1:10 mark where Peter actually questions Dud about his introduction, "The Great Coloured Jazz Singer".Peter says he's confused about him being white and Dud replies that it emphasises on him being the colour pink.
@soberhippie Plus Dudley has always been so talented. Glad he put his musical talents to comedy, it's a deadly combination! Him and Pete are just a perfect pair, too!
One of the funniest Cook and Moore sketches. It never ever fails to make me LOL. However, I'm not sure if this was the original that I heard at the time (60's) radio or record version. I definitely remember a slightly different way Dud replied to the question by Peter: "How were the grooves done?", Dud replies: "With a groover" and that was the best punch line of the entire sketch. This version slightly augments the "with a groover" reply and very slightly spoils it. (Could be wrong though) Whatever, it is Totally hilarious and thanks for showing.
Also, Pete introduces Dud as a colored jazz singer, and asks him what color he is actually. Dud says something like pink and white "and a little blue around the chin".
No they didn't... they had a very complicated relationship, greatly influenced by their respective personalities and insecurities. People who hate each other do not create anything, but misery for anyone unlucky enough to encounter both together. Do not dilute the significance of the word hate!
What? Something from the sixties hasn’t got the sensitivities of more than half of a century later. Well, I never. This is funny and very clever and not offensive at all
Yes it is. It's offensive but then it was also intended to show them as racist Englishmen. The question is should this be aired on the BBC anymore to a largely white audience.
Peter cook and Dudley moore were both Genius in their time and are and remain the best comedians of yesteryear along with the 2 Ronnies. RIP.
The word Genius is banded around and used far, fae too frequently....bit like Celebrity....going forward (another one)
Still as hilariousas the day it was made. thanks for uploading. I was hoping to find it.
superb :)
Peter Cook really struggling not to laugh in places, particularly about 4:50

I have never seen that part. Are all the videos edited? I think I have this on dvd too.
Pure magic- phenomenal on stage chemistry between them
How I have laughed listening to these 2, marvellous comedians. Miss them dearly !
A very funny sketch by two genius of comedy. Both sadly missed
This is great! I didn't know this was that old, because they do it on the Derek and Clive records too..
Dudley was an Oxford Organ Scholar………So there's THAT!
about the only time ever I've seen Peter crack up but not Dudley :D
I assume this is because he was improvising? :)
@@92RedRevolver They were both improvising about 80% of the time.

Thanks so much for uploading !
That's very funny! The dated language makes it even funnier.
We're gonna shake it tonight.
Presumably in frustration.
No No No. Clearly in joy, gratitude and orgasmic pleasure. Have you never had a brand new bag Yeah! 😅😅😅😅
4.47 onwards .. Pete struggling to hold it together on a few occasions which was nice to see :)
Fucking classic.

Pete and Dud - better love story then Romeo and Juliet. Both were so damned attractive. Does anyone else think this is a genuinely good track?
5p a bag laws! It's to stop the grooving lol
Fun at one, radio one, David Hamilton, mid 70's.
Wasn't it Paul Burnett?
@@mossy2209 Maybe, not sure now you mention it!
@SpiirytStarrchild It seems the best jokes are the oldest ;)
But was it a bag for life I wonder?
Most definitely, it was such a ritual clearly.😅😅😅😅😅😅
Brilliant, pity they hated each other.

I think Dudley pre-dates Elton John here
This is pretty funny. Occidental racism aside.
That was irony.
🤷♂️
"It's a darkie decorative process." Wow. This hasn't aged well at all.
Do you think it was meant to?

@@yafflehk probably gonna try and cancel derek and Clive now 😂
The Past is a foreign country . . .
They are ignorant, classist snobs in the sketch. Hence the language. Comedy, you know? And intelligent comedy at that.
Some racist content by today's standards
Yes it is. It's offensive but then it was also intended to show them as racist Englishmen. The question is should this be aired on the BBC anymore to a largely white audience.
