This is a brilliantly funny sketch. I've just discovered that this is a spoof of Flanders and Swan, a song writing duo who became famous after the war. They are actually very good and wrote some good stuff - well worth checking out.

Just watched the show this is from. The show, as you can expect, is very funny but when this song started, especially the chorus, I'm glad I wasn't drinking. This was a real LoL moment!

Excellent! The Flanders and Swann parodies are back on form! I wonder what the real F&S would think? Highly amused I would guess. Thanks dunebasher for uploading ;)

I gather Stephanie Flanders, daughter of Michael, was not at all amused. Gave Alexander Armstrong the snarliest of greetings and iciest of glares after one of the filthiest B&F songs was aired on the BBC, I heard,

It's not Irish, it's by Ivor Biggun - aka Robert "Doc" Cox, from Yorkshire - and can be found on the CD "The Fruity Bits of Ivor Biggun".

Whats your obsession with complaining about the sexual jokes in all of these sketches? its meant to be ironic, they're doing a parody of a musical duo called flanders and swann from the 60s.

It wasn't actually saying that girls don't masturbate. I think it's more that these are two men, and it would be strange if they wrote a song about a woman masturbating....

Yes they're not making fun of it, but they're not recreating it either. And by dictionary definition, a homage would be a serious attempt to emulate it. And no, the risque part is not a seperate issue, because if F&S really did do such risque stuff, then this could be called a homage, but because they never did, I really can't see that homage is the right word.

I disagree. The word homage would imply a serious, straight-faced tribute to something or someone, rather than a non-serious, comedy-based version of it like this - the real Flanders and Swann would never have sung about anything as risque as this.
