Michael Flanders and Donald Swann were the biggest musical comedy stars of the 1950s and 1960s. Mud, Mud Glorious Mud The Hippopotamus Song, The Gnu Song, The Gasman Cometh, and many of their other songs have passed into legend. As Michael was the first to suggest, their songs were - and are - not sung nearly enough. At the Drop of a Hippopotamus is an attempt to redress this, and an attempt by Duncan's wife to re-dress him, in a smart suit. The show is produced by Infinite Number of Monkeys and acclaimed West End production house SFTW, by arrangement with the estates of Flanders and Swann, and in association with PBJ Management. At the Drop of a Hat is a musical revue by Flanders and Swann, described by them as an after-dinner farrago. In the show, they both sang on a nearly bare stage, accompanied by Swann on the piano. After a long London run the show played in the US, Switzerland, and on tour in Britain. Stars Duncan Walsh Atkins, Tim Fitzhigham.

Tim FitzHigham and Duncan Walsh Atkins will return to Crazy Coqs with their homage to Flanders and Swann on 10th November. Tim FitzHigham has been performing this award-winning homage to the Flanders & Swann wrote numerous songs together and toured the world with their revues At The Drop Of A Hat and At The Drop Of Another Hat, if there is one song for which they will be remembered it is The Hippopotamus Song. In his memoirs Swann's Way, the then surviving member of the duo explained how it came about. The Hippopotamus Song is one of those compositions that lends itself readily to parody. September 2007 saw the beginning of its use in a TV advertising campaign for Walker's Crisps featuring the TV presenter and former England soccer captain Gary Lineker in which the chorus . A bold hippopotamus was standing one day On the banks of the cool Shalimar He gazed at the bottom, as it peacefully lay By the light of the evening star Away on a hilltop sat combing her hair His fair hippopotami maid The hippopotamus was no ignoramus And sang her this sweet serenade. The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice From her seat on that hilltop above As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice Came tip-toeing down to her love Like thunder the forest re-echoed the sound Of the song that they sang as they met His inamorata adjusted her garter And lifted her voice in duet.
