Rambling Syd Rumpo
Rambling Syd Rumpo
Rambling Syd Rumpo was a folk singer character played by English comedian
Kenneth Williams in the radio comedy series Round the Horne. The Rambling Syd
sketches generally began with a short discourse on the nature of the song which
would inexorably follow; these discourses in their own right would have assured
Rambling Syd Rumpo a place in radio history as masterpieces of suggestivity and
double-entendre. For this, Rambling Syd was customarily introduced by Kenneth Horne,
who would set things up by (for example) inquiring as to the nature and origin of the song.
Rambling Syd would (usually) respond with an "Ullo, mi dearios" before launching into the
ensuing detailed explanation which left a great deal to the imagination. This action and the
name were a parody of Ramblin' Jack Elliott. The delivery of the songs sometimes recalled
the style of Elton Hayes.
The songs themselves pushed and extended boundaries of acceptable sexual suggestivity way
beyond the narrow confines of a Sunday lunchtime radio slot, using nonsense (or little-known)
words like 'moolies' and 'nadgers' in suggestive contexts.
Many of the words used by Rambling Syd were made up, and have subsequently entered the
English language (such as 'nadger').
