The actual name of the world famous theme song from "The
Benny Hill Show", Yackity Sax launched the career of
Paducah, Kentucky native
Homer Louis Randolph, better known as
Boots Randolph.
First used in the 1969
Thames Television production of
The Benny Hill Show, the song had already been a hit for Boots in his native
America. Boots
parlayed this
fame into a highly successful
career in
Nashville, where he was commonly called
Mr. Sax.
The song itself became an
integral part of the high speed slapstick chases featured at the end of every
episode of the Benny Hill show. If you have ever seen the show, you have heard this song. The playful tune features a catchy saxophone
melody and an easily looped
chorus.
It never fails to pop a smile on my face. :)
