The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

I work as an EMT... had a call for an intoxicated patient four years ago.... guy was singing this at the TOP OF HIS LUNGS in the back of my ambulance. Made for a very interesting trip to the hospital... we still pick this patient up on occasion and he is now known as "Henry VIII" among the staff and yes, he did the spelling out Henry also, slamming his foot on the stretcher for each letter....until we had to yell at him to stop doing that.
Just another Friday night,huh?
Cant make that up
🤣🤣 that's awesome
Sounds like one of my old frequent fliers. Sometimes I miss my old service area.
Very funny.
This performance is so cute..I've watched this an embarrassingly excessive amount of times..
Ha me too. It's addicting!
Yes
Me too. I can't stop. 😆
One of. My personal favorite Ed Sullivan music performances
Me too, love it 🤣😂
Before I die, I'm going to edit this song into a 24 minute loop. Then play it at my funeral.
haha
Well, I'm going to say goodbye to you now because I don't think I can handle 24 minutes of Henry the 8th! 🤣
Lol
is your name Henry? or Colin? the world will never know
🤣👍
Such a completely goofy song, and they know it, and are having tremendous fun singing it for everyone. I've watched this dozens of times and I still smile every time.
Todos tienen una canción así, como the Beatles - you know my name
Can you imagine singing this for 60+ years
yes actually i can
I don't know because I'm not a masochist.
🥴It would be like the ice cream truck jingle - never get it out of your head
@fuckamericanidiot My Dad must be a huge masochist. Because he is there biggest fan. He writes letters to Peter, and is greeted by Peter at every event Peter puts on. I met the guy once. He's chill. But I think my Dad can't admit to himself he has a boy crush. I like Ozzy Osbourne's music but I wouldn't try to get noticed by him let alone be pen pals with him. That goes for any band or musician I prefer listening to.
As a 4-year-old, I went around the house singing, "I'm Henery the ape I am...Henery the ape I am I am!" Needless to say it cracked my family up. And I suppose it is linked to some of my earliest memories as a child. I was born on the 4th of May, so it probably was in heavy rotation on the radio that summer of '65. Music sure can be part of one's most distant memories. This song wouldn't likely have had the staying power of a Beatles' song, so I can link it to being 4 years old.
Aah
Amazing
We were all such little tiny kids back then but life was great
May the 4th....be with you!😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I was the same age then! I remember my teenage sisters playing it on their 45’s or on the AM transistor radio! I loved it! Another I remember was Rainy Day Women by Bob Dylan, only I didn’t know that was the title and I thought it was about throwing rocks. I don’t know why I thought that was ok. 🤣
I have liked this song since I first heard it in 1965. Now, 59 years later, I still love this song
Although probably their silliest song, their contribution to the British Invasion in the mid-60s cannot be denied as they had an amazing string of Top 40 singles, including nine Top 10 singles in a row. This was the fifth in that string and their second #1 single.
I did like, There's A Kind of Hush, now that's a better song. Maybe one of their best.
@@raydelavega7457 That's my favorite one too!
@@raydelavega7457 - Also love the flip side of "There's A Kind Of Hush" called "No Milk Today". What a great 45.
What about Dandy and No Milk Today
It’s definitely an ear worm!
My name is Jamie hand, I really love this wonderful song from the 60s. I wish we could have more songs like this right in the year 2024.
He is on tour. Go see the show.
Just shows how music can unite and make people happy. There are a lot of entertaining and catchy songs from that era, the bird is the word comes to mind, Hello Mutha, hello Fatha, Shel Silverstein wrote that one and others, ask a musicology or an older person.
Imagine having every woman in the world love you, and all you have to do is wear a suit and sing a children's nursery rhyme 3 times in a row.
I KNOW lmfao
Well, being cute as a button certainly helped.
Didn't work for me 😢
bruh lol
😂😂🎉
I just can't express how adorable these guys are! Best band of the 60s!
Peter, Barry, Derek, Karl, & Keith were such kind blokes!
I Love 1965 with Herman's Hermits ❤
Thanks For Sharing This ❤
I Love Watching The Ed Sullivan Show ❤
I Love It ❤
My grandma use to sing this to me. Rest her soul. 😘
A fine guitar solo by Derek 'Lek' Leckenby, who sadly is no longer with us.
I honestly love this song. It's a "simple" pop rock song that sounds great and can get people dancing and singing along. Kudos to Herman's Hermits.
Written in 1910.
Old music hall song.
There's an even better version by Chas and Dave.
Happiness delivered
@@paula3124 Yes! Dad (born in c.1925) used to sing it, his mum taught it to him, along with a few other music hall songs. Delighted to hear that I remembered the tune right.
@@constantgardener19 you have that?
This is my favorite song by them. You can hear their British accent.
My dad likes to say “second verse, same as the first” as often as he can, and of course I picked that up from him. Now I get this song stuck in my head for days at a time and it always reminds me of him ♥️
I'm so proud to have grown up with the Hermits and the Beatles!!! 🎉😊
I saw Peter live at Topsfield fair it was awesome am 42 and I love music from Peter Noone and Herman hermits era
It’s 2023 and I’m crushing hard on 19 year old Peter. I’ve rewatched this an unhealthy amount of times.
He was just so darned cute and still is! I hear ya!
I would have totally had the crush on the guy with the glasses that played the guitar solo. He looked like he had a quiet intelligence and fun manner about him.
Wow,Aww
@Personal Jesus I can see the physical comparison now that you mention it!
Derek!!!! Yes, he was def. the quiet cutie. Sadly, he's no longer with us
I don’t know what’s best, his jumping, the drumming, that guitar solo or the back up vocals. Brings back great memories thank you. Sirius XM brought me here
I've never been more thankful that the Beatles put out "Rubber Soul"
Herman's Hermits were soooo 😎... as the years have passed my love of their songs has endured. If you're not familiar with them, listen to their music. Peter's voice is wonderful and his songs are both funny and lovely.
Soundtrack of my youth 🎼 🖤
“Second verse, same as the first” is fantastic.
This song is a gas!!! Between the screaming teeny boppers and the lead singer trying (and failing) to keep a straight face this song brings s smile to my face every time!!! ☺👍
Saw Peter Noone in concert a few years ago, and he was a fantastic performer. Made you feel like you were his best friend.
Derek played that Stereo Gibson ES-345 with such command! Love it!
Absolutely live, no auto tune or gimmicks.
Just like ur mum :)
31 years ago, when I was 5 years old, my father turned on the stereo in our new house and found the local oldies station for my mom. This was the first song to come on, immediately followed by Catch Us If You Can by the Dave Clark Five. Those 2 songs set my love of oldies music into motion, and it's what I still love the most, decades later.
Aww,How sweet
Rare Find: an Upside-Down Gibson T-Bird being played Lefty!
Lefty is the name of a fnaf character
RedArrow73 Yeah, it's an Upside-Down Gibson T-Bird Bass being played lefty. Which is an even rarer find than an Upside- Down Gibson T-Bird Guitar played lefty.
They're actually quite adjustable to convert and play lefty. I understand there's no "neck diving" issues either.
@@superneznatruni708 i know it's a joke but lefty means left-handed
I am trying to seriously listen to a "Great Course" on Audible entitled "A History of England from the Tudors to the Stuarts" and I can't get this bloody song out of my head! 😆
I love it :) i remember watching this on Ed Sullivan way back then :)
I love how this song is like from 1910, and they decided to only sing the best part of it. It's just so silly. I love it.
This is the song I think in my head, when the craving for alcohol takes over. It's what works for helping me stop wanting to drink, and stay sober.
Odd, I drink to silence this song in my head. Cheers!
This is actual Punk music, long before its invention and I love it!
One of the Hermits: "Right, we've written one verse, now let's write the 2nd and third". Another Hermit: "I can't be bothered, let's just repeat the first verse 3 times". First Hermit, again: "Okay".
Actually the song was covered. It was written in 1911. The original song had extra lyrics added to the main chorus.
“Second verse, same as the first”. There is a joke here, lookup Henry VIII to understand.
No small feat to be so young and loved by both sides of the ocean.
Fun song. I'm a one man band on youtube.
It's nice to see an actual live performance! So many bands lipsynched and/or used a backing track on Ed Sullivan, whether by choice or not.
The Dave Clark Five first appeared live singing Glad All Over. It sounded HORRIBLE! It's not that they didn't sound great as a band (they were voted the #1 live group in London around 1963), but due to Clark's very loud drum playing the sound engineer didn't mic his drums properly and they drowned out the rest of the music. After that they started recording a backing track and added the vocals live and eventually they just lip-synched everything. That live version of Glad All Over was taken down (maybe DC complained) and the only live recording of them was their royal performance where they sung 19 Days and Georgia.
And The Doors, but we all know what happened there😆😂🤣🤣🤣❤️💙💙
Been a Herman Hermits Fan since 1965 age 9 ! Loved still love the songs they all sang !
But will they still need you, will they still feed you, cause you're 64?
@@rotunda57 Are you trying to be funny or insulting ?

Just a fun, simple, put-a-smile-on
-your-face kinda tune. Thank you!!😄
These groups sounded amazing live from the Beatles right on down
Saw them in concert. They were amazing!
I’m excited! This song was very much a pre-cursor to punk rock with its simplistic lyrics, and it’s repetitive, simple style!
It beats The Toy Dolls to the punch by 15 years at least for daft lyrics and making you shake what ya mama gave ya
it's stupid
I believe this tune is much older and was resurrected from British Vaudeville.
@@dlhdonn Yes, I talked about the origin of the song in my comment on this video. It was a popular British music hall song from the 1910's.
@@TomElvisSmith perfectly valid cover version, a lot of RnB artists used nursery rhymes and fairy tales, Sonny Boy Williamson - Polly put the kittle on and Bunker Hill's - Little red riding hood to name but a few
I love the guitar in this song I think Dereck Leckenby was an amazing awesome guitar player
I saw him sing this at Disney World in Florida a few years ago. He does it even better than he did as a young kid. It was a joy to listen to it and see him perform some of his other hits.
When people say "Music was better in the 60s" I send them a link to this song.
To prove them right, I assume
Indeed it was!! People too
Herman's hermits are great fun and their catchy tunes are so timeless...great fun singing them to my granbabies
I went over my grandmother's house to help her set up her printer and she was listening to this. I thought she was watching some British Bloo's Clues or something.
"Do you like this song?" she asked. "It's from back when people still made good music."
Me and a boy scout troop all sang this song while sitting on an old oak tree limb around 1967 in Kansas, great times.
Top song. Long live Henry VIII.
I'm curious as to whether the people who think this is a precursor to punk rock realize that "I'm Henry VIII, I Am" is a British music hall song written in 1910. It was recorded by Harry Champion at that time, one of the most famous stars of the music hall, and became one of his most popular songs along with others like "Any Old Iron" and "A Little Bit of Cucumber". It was most likely sung by British schoolchildren in their school yards throughout the last century. Herman's Hermits also recorded "Leaning on a Lamppost" which was George Formby's signature song (and a much better song in my opinion), so they were fans of this old style of music. If anything, by recording an old school rhyme and music hall standard, Herman's Hermits proved that a popular British group during the Invasion could record almost anything and make it into a hit during this period in music history.
I say this as a fan of the group. I really enjoy their recordings of "There's a Kind of a Hush", "A Little Bit Better", "Dandy", "Years May Come, Years May Go", "Mrs. Brown", "I'm Into Something Good", etc.
And "No milk today".
Proves nothing. Plenty of daft songs become hits

@Tom Smith
Ahhh ... 🇬🇧 thank you for all the interesting facts!! From St. Louis, Missouri USA 🇺🇸
@@jesusnameaboveallnames7369 You're welcome!
Its fast…so..could work!
A feel-good tune I still sing on a good day.
Oh boy, those screams. Imagine being this excited for bloody Herman's Hermits.
or Taylor Swift
They looked under 18
I even think
The song
Get me to the church on time
Elizas cockney father
Marrying a rich widow
From
My Fair Lady
came from this song
Originally in 1910
(It had 2 verses)
Both start with I'M
HERMANS HERMANS
Made the song a copy of both
However
This was just the chorus
With a guitar break
Of the 1910 song
They did have some good sings though!
It's a scream-track and it's really apparent
I remember my middle school history teacher had sang this song when he was teaching us about Henry The Eighth!
Bruh my mum used to tell me grandad would sing this song verse for verse when he was drunk back in the 70s bahaha
I like this group the music make me happy just like Beatles
Nuts, gotta get back to 2021. Thanks 1965!
- I, Fernando, thank God that for thirty years 1991 - 2021 when I was (a young twenty-year-old) and after having concluded "the mother of all battles" (USA vs IRAQ) in the Persian Gulf. In the middle of the 80's, when I was a fan of British and European Heavy Metal (North American) as a teenager, when the fashion of Heavy Hard Rock (1990-1991) passed, I was fascinated and rediscovered the old Rock 'N Roll (my parents' music) ... Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, all the way to the beginning of the "Wonderful Decade" ... the 60's Beatles and the first "English wave" with the most of the sound "Mersey Beat" and the following groups like The Herman Hermits, who in 1991 released a bi-CD as well as on VHS ... of "some" of the best of the famous Ed Sullivan Show and it was there when I first heard this "rolita" (I'm Henry VIII) and with an audience in the studio! 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
How can you not love this freakin song? Lol
I was born in the mid 80s so i am not sure how this song entered my consciousness but it did and I love it. I sing it to my 4 year old daughter and she loves it too.
Second verse same as the first..... What a fabulous lyrics song...
Best part is how close the live version is to the studio version. Ain't no auto-tune round these parts, no sir. Also, totally underappreciated guitar solo. Good stuff.
Look at the pair of new Gibson ES-345s~!!! WOW~!!! I'll take them both and throw in the Gibson T-Bird Bass while you're at it...This song went #1 week of August 7th...But the entire month before, July?...'(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'...The EXPLOSIVE #1 by The Rolling Stones...My band, The Beau Street Runners, Franconia, Virginia, were playing IT instead of this one at the pool and backyard parties...usually 2 or 3 times on the same gig...everyone could dance to it...
After a bad day put on HH’s greatest hits. Problems will quickly go away.
As a 60's/70's kid. I LUV it!!!!
The British Invasion
My Favorite Decade

Fun song. I'm a one man band on youtube.
One of my personal favorite music performances
I work in a rest home in the hospital wing, and this lady allways sings this song that’s why I’m here cause I wanted to know what song she was singing
Yes, I remember hearing this song on the radio, I guess in 1965. What a great time to be a kid. Vietnam was a distant war, but all was safe and secure at home, for the time being.
They were always great, this is one of my favourites, I play it a few times before moving on lol, great, simple and funny lirisism
This makes you feel good
When music was fun
That raw dry beat of the drums at the intro!
Thanks for uploading this! I was very pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be an actual live performance, and not lip-synced. Turns out these guys were a real band, and a pretty tight one at that!
Makes me smile

Those facial expressions.... oh the 60's. Wish I was around for 'em.
Silly lads having fun.
A post on my Truth Social page brought me here. How great is that !!!!! Put a smile on my face
I forgot how absolutely cute he is!
After his show I talked to Pete last night...the consumate entertainer. He smiled, shook my hand twice, and I told him what a blessing to the world he's been and continues to be. I had to repeat it three times. He leaned in and told me he was deaf. Then I said I LOVE YOU. It just popped out...I wasn't expecting it!!
I'm so grateful for that experience. 😊
My history teacher, Miss Elms, decided to play this during our Tudors history class. It stuck in my head. 😐😄
I can sing the lyrics perfectly still. Its been a month. This was played in Music Class, once. We didn't even learn anything about it. Just got stuck in my head.
I remember when this song was frist popular in the early 1960s. I was probably 9 years old. Peter Noone was only 8 yars older than me and the group was already internationally successful. A few years ago Peter Noone was playing at the park across the street from where I live. He put on a great show. Go and see him if you have a chance. He is still touring.
Around 2019 I saw these guys. Great night!!
0:51 - The bass player is left handed, playing a right-handed bass turned upside down. The peg for the strap is on the lower half of the body, meaning he has to balance the bass with his arms to keep it in place. Amazing that he didn't spend the necessary money to obtain a left-handed bass after all of that success selling hit records.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for this!
Great stuff..:)
I was a teenager in the 60's, so a word of warning- Nowadays a lot of 60's songs are so-called "remastered" and sound like tinny squeaky rubbish so people should make sure they only watch the genuine originals on youtube, and only buy genuine original stuff on DVD..:)
This is so nostalgic i heard this song in the car once when i was little and never forgot it unfortunatly i am bad at picking up words from songs so instead of Henry i heard annary and reminded me of a girl named Anna because i heard Annary i never knew it was Henry until i found this video it was hard to find because i typed Annery but nothing came up but eventually this came up.
