Hermans Hermits chart-topping 1965 U.S. hit https://youtu.be/GZvnjdyqwkk was a descendant of this old British music hall song, originally popularized by Cockney comedian Harry Champion, who recorded it on several occasions (hopefully the track heard here was, in fact, the first one.but no guarantees, as specific dates for all of the various versions arent available). The Hermits arrangement was more directly inspired by the 1961 recording of Im Henery The Eighth I Am by UK entertainer Joe Brown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOYyZTjWkZ4
