Next up, Terry "Turbo" Burrows, champion window cleaner from London sings about the congestion charge under Ken Livingstons reign as Mayor of London. Its quite a rare'n this. Played to George Formbys hit "when I'm cleaning windows." Terry is also a black belt in karate (Koodokan). He claims that the karate has made him faster and more determined with his window cleaning competitions and record attempts. Other hobbies include scuba diving (since 15 years of age), fishing, snooker (highest break 85 so far) and playing guitar. And, yes, he even performs "When I'm Cleaning Windows"!
The late Peter Sellers gives his performance of George Formby's "when I'm cleaning windows." I've added this video for novelty value more than anything else. Peter was a huge Monty Python fan, a rare window cleaning song by the Python team can be seen here.
Most of you won't have heard this before its featured on Rock FM 97.4 in Leeds, UK by poet, singer song writer Mik Artistic. Quite catchy never the less.
The Mills Brothers were a major African-American jazz and pop vocal quartet of the 20th century producing more than 2,000 recordings that sold more than 50 million copies and garnered at least three dozen gold records. The group was originally composed of four brothers all born in Piqua, Ohio.
I'll leave you to pass judgement on the next offering. Window cleaning operatics: Not my cuppa tea...
Finally a different kind of windows song, enjoy...
