Spike Milligan interprets a Classic! THE RASPBERRY KING! Jack Hodges . . . . .



a stroke of genius to clean up the audience soundtrack with the original recording by Hodges

who says : Hodges' classic 1933 recording was used by Spike Milligan as the basis for this sketch from his 1977 'Q7' series. Milligan mimes the raspberries, while John Bluthal remembers some of the words. I've dubbed the original track onto this video, so you can hear it's full majesty without the studio audience's laughter.

I of course dedicate this one to all my 1.7 million visitors this one’s personally for you!

You’re Welcome!
