Beneath that wiiiiiiiindooooooooooow...

[Westyeltz]

If I remember correctly - which is unlikely - we were on the coach back from somewhere. Grant (who I have no idea about now) started a "shaggy dog" story that was something like

"Mario Lanza was at a fire at a sky scraper, starting singing endlessly 'and beneath that window, there's another window' and after about 2 mins it ended 'there's a door'"

Terrible joke, but from then on we started singing it and the rest is history.

I am old and we were drunk so the details will be wrong, but that's what I remember.

May or may not be related to the dressing up as a window of course.

That's pretty much it Poll, although I believe Mario had jumped from the flaming tower block to escape.

It was indeed Grant who started it but like yourself, i don't know where or when.

Grant also came up with the one about his sister urinating out of the window onto his new head wear - another Jolly Boys classic

Precious times!

For anyone not around then you can tell it was very classy.

And now he don't give a Fedora........ (though I seem to remember it not being quite as clean as that)..........

It was a Sombrero, HH but you're correct - it's not family friendly but it is funny

Yes, that definitely sounds much better than my version

For those who want to know how the story of dramatic escape from near-certain death ended, I can confirm it was a joyful one.
Mario spent his later years in self-induced obscurity, drawing self portraits on peeled-off beer mats in the Black Country's finest hostelries. It was reported recently that he was currently residing in a care home in Kingswinford. Or is he?

Many the pub bejewelled with the line drawings and a random quote or interesting fact. He worked with Phil apparently.
Although I don't remember "Our Brother" clocking on at the Royal Opera House.

A quick Google actually leads one down a quite unsavoury path. Suffice it to say he's on a list, and it's not the shortlist for the Turner Prize...
