Song in the Benny Hill show

[Eloco]

Maybe you chaps in England know the answer to this: the title of the song playing at the end of the Benny Hill skit where he plays Gavin Blod, he is on his death bed, and the character played by Diana Darvey comes into the room and start taking her clothes off.

"The Moment of Truth" (?)

HTH, but sorry if it's waste of time!

The Beach At Waikiki, perhaps?

If you have a look on this site

and the first paragraph after the cast list for Episode 1, it mentions the Diana Darvey striptease.

I already searched the Internet. The audio is really short, and I don’t think it is listed. I think this is the type of song you have to recognize yourself. I never heard it outside of the show, and I thought maybe it was popular in England at one time.

Is the episode on YouTube?

[Eloco]

I don't know. I have a .wav file of it. Any ideas on how I can uploaded?

[Stephen_G]

This probably isn't it then?

It’s not a Hawaiian song.

I just downloaded a Windows Media Player copy of the Gavin Blod sketch from http://stagevu.com/video/nigpprkzktrw. The song starts when Diana Darvey starts to take the nurse’s uniform off, almost at the end of the sketch.

Well, it wasn't what Lie-in King posted and it wasn't what I posted either.

It sounds like an electronic version of a piece of classical music, but they probably wouldn't have been able to afford to use a piece of classical music, without having to pay the rights. Its more like they've taken a piece of music and changed the notes and composition.

Not too sure what else to add, Eloco.

The only thing I can think of is that the music sounds similar to early Rick Wakeman solo albums - Six Wives of Henry Eighth / Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, etc. But it's more likely to be some library music that was cheap to use!

No right answer yet.

Further to my previous post, the website mentioned in Judge Nutmeg's second link has a specific page about Benny Hill library music. The page author says it's a library track called "Classical and Pop", but doesn't know the library or composer. It was also used in another BH episode.

Thank you for the effort, guys. Nothing yet. I was hoping somebody would recognize it.

I was able to upload an audio clip. I hope it can be heard. Sorry if the uploading site has some adds; just ignore them, but it was easy.
