George Formby – The Window Cleaner
I have been spending a lot of my time babysitting three girls. I took them out to the dollar theater to see The Bee Movie (2007), which I don’t think they had much patience for it (you have to realize that they don’t speak English). I thought the movie was pretty good, but it’s really isn’t such a kids-movie. I mean a trial and jokes like Ray Liotta might be lost on children.
There were a couple of songs in The Bee Movie that I remembered hearing: The Archies‘ “Sugar Sugar” and Sheryl Crow‘s “Here Comes the Sun” (a Beatles cover song).
We came back home and we played around with the EyeToy game. Apparently the game is quite popular with the kids and they absolutely love this Window Washer game.
For four solid straight playing the Window Washer game, I have this song called “The Window Cleaner (When I’m Cleaning Windows)” by George Formby stuck forever in my head.
As it turns out, this song is quite famous for being banned by the BBC for sexual innuendos. (What is it about window washers and sex anyway?)
Anyway, the song first appeared on a film called Keep Your Seats Please (1936).
