#411 GO, GO, GO! We preview the 2021 F1 season, but not before we celebrate the career of the great Murray Walker and wish him an emotional goodbye. We play our musical tribute to the greatest F1 commentator ever. Plus, will drivers “Take the knee”?
Murray Walker - Fantastic Absolutely Incredible
When Murray speaks
The world listens
Spot on
He sometimes misses
Always impressive
Incomprehensible.
But I liked it best when Murray said:
Fantastic,
Yeah, I liked it best when Murray said:
Fantastic,
Yeah, I liked it best when Murray said:
Fantastic,
Absolutely, absolutely,
Absolutely incredible.
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Faan, fan, faan-tastic,
Ab-so-lut-ely- incredible.
When Murray speaks
(Fantastic),
It don’t take him long
(Fantastic),
To make a prophecy that turns out wrong
(Oh Yeah)
He makes mistakes and he’ll confess
"Excuse me, while I interrupt myself".
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Oh my goodness, oh
Fantastic, absolutely incredible.
Murray speaks to the world (Oh yeah)
He reads the race for us.
Anything can happen in grand prix racing
And it usually does
And that’s...
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Fantastic, absolutely, absolutely
Absolutely incredible
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Fantastic, absolutely incredible
Faan, faan, faaan-tastic,
Ab-so-lut-ely- incredible.
Fantastic
His voice will last for ever more
Fantastic
If it doesn’t it oughta
Fantastic
Driver’s names he’ll sometimes slaughter
Incredible
Murray Walker - muddily talker
His voice will last for ever more,
Fantastic
He’s fantastic, absolutely incredible
"I want to say so much more than I have time for"
We’ll miss Murray, and I quote:
“I have to stop now, because I‘ve got a lump in my throat”.
