Mar 13, 2008 - I have this on VHS and always thought the tape wow (and probably flutter on the bottom) was just my copy - glad (in a way) to see it's not.

Apr 28, 2008 - I've listened to this and all their other stuff over and over since I was about 6 years old. Now my 2 year old is reciting F&S songs. Timeless! Thank you so much for posting. Any chance you could post the rest of the show?

LeonPFB Says:

Apr 28, 2008 - Well, we're hoping to go for a commercial release of a complete AT THE DROP OF ANOTHER HAT - when the lawyers have finished thrashing it out!

russlerks Says:

Apr 30, 2008 - That would be the perfect Father's Day gift. I'll tell my kids to look out for it

Jul 13, 2008 - Michael Flanders made a very convincing dirty old man.

IHaveTheQi Says:

Jul 19, 2008 - Fantastic news! I know of many huge F & S fans who would be over the moon if this was successful!

Aug 14, 2008 - Same here--I was about 11 at the time. I didn't think it was about cake. But then, I was a very dirty-minded child . . .

Aug 23, 2008 - Like a fine madiera, it improves with age. I saw them on TV in 1967, I think, when I was about ten.I still remember the "First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics" song from that show.

Aug 30, 2008 - moi aussi XD

Sep 14, 2008 - Michael Flanders and Donald Swann are the best comic song Writers

headwuss Says:

Sep 18, 2008 - It's a shame they had to do that, yeah. There's nothing like the way Michael growls 'And a BEARD in 'er ear'ole...' on the UK recording.

Oct 7, 2008 - These guys have Pryor, Carlin, even Cosby beat by a VERY long shot!!!

eversoplucky Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - Loved these guys since Mud, Glorious Mud, which i heard aged 4. Wonderful performers.

Oct 16, 2008 - YAY

Krzyszczynski Says:

Oct 20, 2008 - "O my child, should you look on the wine when 'tis red ...... " Actually, Madeira is a WHITE wine!! (But I guess we have to cut the guys some slack, 'cos otherwise the world would never have heard a superlative comic song.)

PJTraill Says:

Oct 26, 2008 - Technically white, but being maderised (!), it is actually a shade of brown, ranging from deep (Malmsey) to pale (Sercial), corresponding to the richness ... but her mother's words were doubtless intended to guide her in dealings with wine of any colour.

Nov 12, 2008 - glad I found this, recently came across the song on the radio. Thanks for posting.
