Indeed. Could've been a setup to another joke as well. When Stephen asked Hugh to relive making love the night before, I was half expecting the reply "I thought you didn't want any stiffness."
Another good one was Stephen’s response to Hugh saying “It’s not your fault. I’m rather tired” to which Stephen replied “We’ll try again later, if you like.” I love Stephen’s use of word play and double entendres.

Stephen was remarkably young and fit. I still do have a weakness for that tall sweeping frame of his, especially during the INSANE ending. Btw, loved the "between the legs" misunderstanding! *evil giggle*
Stephen Fry had to consult a hypnotherapist to overcome his fear of singing in order to perform this sketch. He tells the full story on Richard Herring's podcast: czcams.com/video/Fvpb82-jw3c/video.html#t=1h11m14s
That is an awesome story. Would never have guessed that he was afraid of singing and thought that he was a professionell singer for quite some time. His singing in the sketch is brilliant.
Used to watch Saturday Night Live, and when it was on Fridays too. Lot of new talent started on that show... Harry Enfield, Julian Clarey. ..could do with something similar now, to get new faces up on stage. Most of it was brill.
@@birkbrene1972 Huh, looks like the question I was answering got deleted sometime in the last eleven years? Somebody asked "Why would anybody put a lock on piano keys?" I'm pretty sure I didn't just drop that random fact apropos of nothing. Anyways, thanks for bringing back memories of a simpler time.
...living together in perfect harmony Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord, why don't we? We all know that people are the same whereever you go There is good and bad in ev'ryone We learn to live, when we learn to give Each other what we need to survive, together aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive
Does anyone know what the piece actually is? It sounds a lot like Gottingen by Barbara and I can't find a way of searching "Chelper/Schelper's Bridal Nocturne" that shows anything. Just curious if the two are related.
I just LOVE this as a pianist myself. Stephen Fry clearly appears to know nothing about music at all as he doesn’t understand that’ ‘ A’ is a musical key , and what the heck has having a girlfriend and making love got to do with playing the piano ?

Fry was so terrified of singing that he says he got hypnotised so he would feel a sense of calm when he said the words "Play it, bitch"
Wow! And he was utterly brilliant when it came to it ❤️❤️
I’m glad they edited out the bits where he clucked like a chicken
It shows too! Love this comment
yes. I particularly LOVE Stephen's reply:
"No, I said we don't want any stiffness!"

But then he went on to have him remember making love. There's gotta be at least a little stiffness there.
His legs flail about but his torso remains stationary. Impressive.
His legs fly about as if independent from his body!

''good evening Hugh''
''good evening''
''excellent, well done''
lol wtf
You better look out for me baby,
You better look right out of sight,

Wouldn't be surprised if Howard Goodall had a hand in this.
Harry Enfield is the conductor and Paul Whitehouse is the guitarist.
What a cast. Lol
During their reunion special stephen mentions he took hypnotist courses to sing this
Great Master Class, learned a lot.
It does make me laugh that the "teacher" is the one who doesn't know how to play any instruments 😂
Not only are they hilariously funny, they are both academically brilliant.
One of those partnerships where ALL the musical ability is in one half and the other just flounders hopelessly. See also Cook and Moore.
היוש! אנחנו היינו שמחים מאוד לראות את המערכון הזה. בהצלחה במנגינות ארוכות ולא קצרות. תגיעו לישראל, כולם מחכים לכם!🙂🔯

Genius. Thanks for posting albeit some time ago.

The man women swoon over just happens to be gay, how paradoxical

Frighteningly special
"If you're not loose at the knee, you might as well not be here!" So that's my problem.
1:18 So THAT'S how House lost his right thigh. ;-)
it's *lupus*

I love the random lyrics.
Ah, I well remember the vocal tour de force that was Mestingua Condoriosis Bleve. Pity she was unavailable on that frighteningly special night.
Totally worth having to put up with seeing Ben Elton for a few seconds 😁
You'd think the uploader could have at least edited him out...
@@demonicsquid7217 Iif only they did, lol
Well, say what you want, at least his name isn't Elton Ben.
Ben Elton does unfortunately have the kind of face/expression you want punch!
Haha, this is hilarious
Nice row of Buddy Holly Elvis Costellos
Isn't the man on the mic in the beginning the one who plays the buttler in the ABOFAL sketch on Mr Hophouse?
4:48 was waiting for "sorry, this never happened to me before"
Piano keys used to be made of ebony and ivory.
okay

@@Scorpio3002 haha no problem!
It did just seem a bit out of place.
@@Scorpio3002 Quite impressed you remembered the context for that 11 years on.
...living together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord, why don't we?
We all know that people are the same whereever you go

Is it Nocturne Opus 9 No 2 by Chopin ?
I love it when Stephen is curt with Hugh "not too frothy"🤤😍 so seuctively alpha male and commanding
Is that Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse in the band?
Yup
Elvis Costello playing that paisley telecaster?!
Nope. Looks like Paul Whitehouse.
And Harry Enfield conducting? No idea who's on bass, though.
Surely the bass player is supposed to look like (Costello's pal and producer) Nick Lowe.
Soupy Twists
Long live rock n Roll 😂😂😂
Anyone know what year this is from? I'd say about 1987-ish.
Paul Whitehouse playing guitar in the band?
Wow, you made a good effort, but it was just the song I was after, sorry.
So British
I love the part "making love" ;D
can anyone work out the lyrics and post them on here?
cheers

I think it might be a comedy sketch.
Idk tho.
@@MixedMediaEnterprise Of course it’s a bloody comedy sketch, do you think I’m stupid ??
You clearly don’t understand, comedy , music OR irony !!! 😡
@@christinescarff4920 Well yes dear, we all think you're stupid.

not funny
