With almost four decades on the air and distribution across more than 140 countries, The Benny Hill Show became a global synonym for comedy. The great Benny left us in 1992, but his legacy remains intact, and if there is one unmistakable element in his work, it is the song he used for his skits, 'Yakety Sax'. Do you want to place that music on a YouTube video? Thanks to the Benny Hill This portal, you can now do it.
For many local television stations, The Benny Hill Show was the program with which they ended their daily transmissions. I remember it especially from midnight broadcasts, some repeated to exhaustion, but broadcasts nonetheless. History tells us that the official cancellation of The Benny Hill Show occurred in June 1989. Declining ratings and a high production cost per episode (around 450,000 pounds sterling) sealed the fate of what was a historic run. Now, I'm convinced that most of us don't remember the details of any particular piece from The Benny Hill Show... but we do remember its music.
With the help of the Benny Hill This portal, anyone can take a YouTube video, speed up its playback slightly, and add that famous song on top. The rest basically depends on each person's creativity. Chases, fights, chain accidents... anything is valid for using a bit of Yakety Sax and enjoying the results. Benny Hill's theme isn't the only one with this particular advantage. Street Fighter fans know very well that Guile's theme goes with anything, and some of the later edits were truly unmissable.
If that doesn't seem strange enough, the creators of Benny Hill This also offer a variant with the Titanic theme... but I'll stop here because the mere thought scares me. The videos can be shared on social networks with direct links, and as far as I've observed, there's no limit of any kind.
