Lewis Batt

stephen forster

Its a banjolele not a ukelele

charizard4410

For those of you that think he plays a banjo, sorry to say but your wrong. He actually plays the ukulele. Just saying

Christopher T. George

I knew Bruce Williams aka Liverpool songwriter Eddie Latta. He was a family friend. So this means a lot to me.

brian morgan

It's impossible not to like G.F. with his infectious laugh,and he can't half play the banjo.

Regis Palmer

SUPERB !!

charley bembridge

adam clark

working class? he was the emperor of lancashire

I guess it's kind of innocent innuendo by today's standards... one of them is clearly that he's trying to say a woman has a fat stomach but resists saying "belly"... though where the horse would have taken the remedy is anyone's guess.

Lorraine McLoughlin

You can see his "George Formby" logo on the head of the uke.

Angus Lamont

Good old George!

innuendo = Italian suppository Honestly, that's the charm of the song. It's leaning towards booze or something "naughty".

When it came to playing ukulele, Formby was a true genius, and it was down to his right hand technique.

ZepperPerry

He didn't write many of his songs, his wife refused him to play a song unless his name got put on it. Most agreed because if george played it it would be a hit

Looks like he's only using a few chords, and seems like he's hitting the A, F and B-flat chords a lot, maybe a G minor in there, too. I don't know chord families very well, so I'm not sure what the other ones would probably be. Of course, he may have been using a different tuning than the standard GCAE...it sucks the filmmakers didn't think anyone would want to see his fingerstyle up close.

Well when everyone on the screen laughs after he says Auntie Maggie's Remedy it is sort of suspicious. Kinda hints towards a joke I'm not getting.

Rin Satsu

@witchdoctor180 And yet you can realize there's innuendo in the first place.

Rin Satsu

It could be because he had such a huge mouth, but this guy had the most infectious smile ever.

@witchdoctor180 Good for you! I often think that it's all in the mind - I have been listening to a lot of George's songs with their funny lyrics and those who call them smutty must have a smutty mind! ;-)
