Ken Dodd may not be everyone's cup of tea as a comedian. Growing up in England in the 1960s, I personally much preferred the sophisticated satire of Peter Cook and others. It's just that with the passage of time I have come to see that Ken is a national treasure and I hope we won't have to wait until he's dead and buried before recognising him as a genius.
Not, of course, on the strength of this song, though we tend to forget what a very pleasant voice he had, in addition to his talents as a comedian.

Fear not - I have apparently married into the larger part of his fan club: i.e. the population of Liverpool. I think they have always seen him for the genius he is, though the teeth haven't helped. On the other hand, they are endearing.
