Colonel Bogey March
When Gilbert was in Iris's bathroom in the hotel scene, he whistled the "Colonel Bogey March" at her...anyone know why?
sharein the commentary, the film critic explains that that song was well known by all brits to be extremely bawdy(way before it was used in Bridge over the river q...) so I'm guessing it was written in as a mock threat.....
The commentary is so very fascinating.
here are the lyrics as sung in Dark Blue World and by many a Brit back in the day:
Hitler has only got one ball,
Göring has two but very small,
Himmler is somewhat sim'lar,
But poor Goebbels has no balls at all.
I'm proud to say my poetry is only understood by that minority which is aware.
