Victoria Wood singing her wonderfully hilarious song The Ballad of Barry and Freda (Let's Do It) from "Live in Your Own Home" 1994.
Freda and Barry sat one night, the sky was clear the stars were bright. The wind was soft, the moon was up. Freda drained her cocoa cup. She licked her lips, she felt sublime. She switched off "gardener's question time". Barry cringed in fear and dread, as Freda grabbed his tie and said:
Let's Do It, let's do it, do it while the mood is right. I'm feeling appealing, I've really got an appetite. I'm on fire with desire, I could handle half the tenors in a male voice choir. Let's do it, let's do it tonight!
BUT HE SAID: I can't do it, I can't do it, I don't believe in too much sex. This fashion for passion, turns us into nervous wrecks. No derision, my decision, I'd rather watch "The Spinners" on the television. I can't do it, I can't do it tonight!
SO SHE SAID: Let's do it, let's do it, do til our hearts go boom. Go native, creative, living in the living room. This folly, is jolly, bend me over backwards on me hostess trolley. Let's do it, let's do it tonight!
BUT HE SAID: I can't do it, I can't do it, me heavy breathing days have gone. I'm older, feel colder, it's other things that turn me on. I'm imploring, I'm boring, let me read this catalogue on vinyl flooring. I can't do it, I can't do it tonight.
SO SHE SAID: Let's do it, let's do it, have a crazy night of love. I'll strip bare, I'll just wear stilettos and an oven glove. Don't starve a girl of a palaver, dangle from the wardrobe in your balaclava. Let's do it, let's do it tonight.
BUT HE SAID: I can't do it, I can't do it, I know I'd only get it wrong. Don't angle, for me to dangle me arms have never been that strong. Stop pouting, stop shouting you know I pulled a muscle when I did that grouting. I can't do it, I can't do it tonight.
Let's do it, let's do it share a night of wild romance. Frenetic, poetic, this could be your last big chance. To quote Milton, to eat Stilton, to roll in gay abandon on the tufted Wilton. Let's do it, let's do it tonight.
I can't do it, I can't do it, I've got other little jobs on hand. Don't grouse, around the house, I've got a busy evening planned. Stop nagging, I'm flagging, you know as well as I do that the pipes want lagging. I can't do it, I can't do it tonight.
Let's do it, let's do it, while I'm really in the mood. Three cheers! it's years since I caught you even semi-nude. Be drastic, gymnastic, wear your baggy Y-fronts with the loose elastic. Let's do it, let's do it tonight.
I can't do it, I can't do it, I must refuse to get undressed. I feel silly, it's too chilly to go without me thermal vest. Don't choose me, don't use me, me mother sent a note to say you must excuse me. I can't do, I can't do it tonight.
Let's do it, let's do it, I feel I absolutely must. I won't exempt you, want to tempt you, want to drive you mad with lust. No cautions, just contortions, smear an avocado on me lower portions. Let's do it, let's do it tonight.
I can't do it, I can't do it, it's really not my cup of tea. I'm harrassed, embarassed, I wish you hadn't picked on me. No dramas, give me me pyjamas. The only girl I'm mad about is Judith Chalmers. I can't do it, I can't do it tonight.
Let's do it, Let's do it, I really want to run amok. Let's wiggle, let's jiggle, let's really make the rafters rock. Be mighty, be flighty, come and melt the buttons on me flame-proof nighty. Let's do it, let's do it tonight.
Let's do it, let's do it, I really want to rant and rave. Let's go, cause I know just how I want you to behave. Not bleakly, not meekly, beat me on the bottom with the "Womans Weekly". Let's do it, let's do it tonight.

@@tombstoneharrystudios584 she said when she was growing up she and her family didn't spend any time together at all. She had a TV and a piano in her room and she'd obviously just practice her playing and watch comedy films. She only ever watched comedies. She was honing her craft from a very young age. She was a one off. There'll never be another Victoria Wood. She didn't get into drama school coz they said she had a deformed jaw but I think her slightly wonky jaw adds to her beauty and charm. Catherine Tate did a tribute to her by doing a cover of this song and while it was good, it wasn't a patch on Victoria doing it. She cut a lot of it out too, which I understand, there's so many lyrics to remember.

Dear Vicky, You are by far, the greatest comic mind this world was ever lucky to have, it’s been so long and I still can’t believe you’ve gone. Those genius words and gags have the magical power to cause a world of laughter from nearly everyone I know and I can only hope that your work is remembered for as long as not only I am alive but for many generations to come. For as long as I can remember, it has been my dream to meet you and although that’s no longer possible, by immersing myself in your work I feel like a small part of you stays with me, even through the darkest times. I’m forever in debt to you for all of the smiles you’ve caused me and even though you’re gone, you’ll always be in the nations hearts. Love, Sophie ❤️
