1974
saw the release of yet another version of the Dad's Army
theme tune, this time by versatile variety performer Alan
Randall.
"Who
do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler" is the
opening song on this record of 12 songs performed by
Randall in the style of George Formby (an act which
he has successfully imitated on television and stage
for several decades).
The
album consists
mainly of famous Second World War Songs, the song was
probably included due to Dad's Army's current popularity
on television at the time.
The
version makes interesting listening, the reasons that
Randall gives a unique interpretation with quite an original
arrangement (George Formby would have probably given
it a similar arrangement, had he still been around to
record it!)
