The Ballad of Barry and Freda ...

[dizzojay]

Thinking about the sad loss of Victoria Wood got me to thinking of this knicker-wettingly hilarious song which, for me, is the crowning glory of her long and illustrious career:

THE BALLAD OF BARRY AND FREDA ...

(Okay, hand up - who else was thinking about the Ballad of Jared and Jensen and having themselves a naughty giggle or two?)

This and Acorn Antiques are the two things I think of when I think of Victoria Wood. This year is utterly dogshit for losing treasured celebrities...

Isn't it awful? I'm almost scared to switch the news on now.

It's fantastic, isn't it!
David Tennant is such a good sport, isn't he?

This right here is the first I've even heard of her. One song, and I can see why all of England will miss her.

Well, I'm thinking about Jared and Jensen now, thanks! :) But which one is Freda?

EDIT: I'll have you know I just purchased a copy of this song for my Kindle. I can't understand half the British slang or references, but the song's become an earworm, and I'm loving it, and it's all your fault!

Heehee, I love that I'm corrupting you to our eccentric British ways! Let me know which words/phrases you're struggling with and I'll translate. You'll get even more pleasure out of it then!

Everyone will ALWAYS remember this! And yes, I have imagined the Ballad of J2 ;)

I'm just wondering which is the one saying, 'I can't do it'?

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

LOL! Jensen!!

But it couldn't be the Ballad of Jared and Jensen - there's no way one of them could refuse the other sex! LOL!!!

Perhaps Jensen's got a headache?
