It's not Boots Randolph @JM...this is what I found...
The Highliners, released it as "The Benny Hill Boogie" in 1989. which is based on "Yakety Sax." Performed by Ronnie Aldrich and his orchestra, the tune was often used as the soundtrack for comedy sketches, particularly the chase scenes, on "The Benny Hill Show." Since then, it has been applied to other segments of film and accompanied by otherwise silent, rapidly-paced segments of film parodied for comic effect. It has appeared in the TV shows "Doctor Who," "Get a Life," "Man With A Plan" and "Robot Chicken" (in a tasteless sketch on the funeral of Benny Hill) as well as in the 2006 movie, "V for Vendetta." The theme was also used during the 2012 Olympics beach volleyball event between sets while rakers rushed to smooth out the court.

Yakkety Sax by Boots Randolph, although I'm not sure if that's his recording of it or not.
ReplyDeleteWorks nicely either way. Takes the sting out when you're laughing out loud.
Instant classic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Duque, I’d rather laugh than cry
