George Formby a legend in England in the 30's and 40's. Made loads of films and kept us smiling during the dark days of WW2. George Harrison of "The Beatles" was a huge fan of his, and was a member of his fan club. He actually attended the annual meetings in Blackpool and took his uke with him.

A young Charlie Chaplin used to borrow costumes from George's father, a music hall performer called George Formby snr. Included was a bowler hat and cane. He'd use them for the character "John Willie", "the archetypal gormless Lancashire lad in baggy trousers, tight jacket, and bowler hat, slow-talking, hen-pecked, accident-prone, but muddling through." This character became the inspiration for Charlie Chaplin in the formation of his character the Tramp.

"When I'm Cleaning Windows" is a comedy song performed by Lancastrian comic, actor and ukulele player George Formby. It first appeared in the 1936 film Keep Your Seats, Please. The song was credited as written by Formby, Harry Gifford and Frederick E. Cliffe. Formby performed the song in A♭ in Keep Your Seats, Please. For the single release, the key was changed to B♭. The song was so successful that George Formby recorded another version of the song entitled "The Window Cleaner (No. 2)". This song uses similar orchestration to the original version and it is about further things which were seen on a window cleaning round. Because the song's lyrics were racy for the time, it was banned by the BBC from being played on the radio. The corporation's director general John Reith stated that "if the public wants to listen to Formby singing his disgusting little ditty, they'll have to be content to hear it in the cinemas, not over the nation's airwaves"; Formby and his wife and manager Beryl Ingham were furious with the block on the song. In May 1941, Ingham informed the BBC that the song was a favourite of the royal family, particularly Queen Mary, while a statement by Formby pointed out that "I sang it before the King and Queen at the Royal Variety Performance". The BBC relented and started to broadcast the song. The record's sales were so successful that Regal Zonophone awarded Formby the first silver disc for sales of over 100,000 copies."

The Queen Mum - a jovial and kind woman whom I had the sincere privilege to see in her canary yellow outfit exiting (NOT Brexiting) St Paul's Cathedral in about 1998 - ADORED this song! She had a very healthy sense of sexual innuendo - as do all educated British people who enjoy a bit of fun! Shine on, you crazy diamonds! ; }

Erm: me or George Formby? And why "still" - as opposed to "formerly"???!!!

+Rebecca Rose Hirschfield I used "still" as a reminder for you to realise that regardless of time and distance... You'll always remain in my mind as the mysterious yet captivating woman I met through Todd Rundgren and whose perfect english melts my heart. As for the song, for a 20 yrs old like me it is rather odd-sounding but I have the sensitivity to appreciate its artistic value, the woman is sensual and elegant (if I may say) :P

PS Lord Reid, that sanctimonious hypocrite had Windows banned from the BBC - the Formbys pointed out that if was good enough for the Royal Variety Performance it should be be good enough for the BBC.
