Four Bucketeers




The Four Bucketeers' best-known number is "The Bucket of Water Song", which made the British Top 30 in 1980 . The song has an uptempo marching rhythm and is an ode to the joys of open-containerised Dihydrogen Monoxide . The theme was carried through into a less successful follow-up single, the anthemic waltz-time "Water is Wonderful", which eulogised
Water is wonderful, water's superb
Water's too powerful to conquer or curb
Water's at its best when you can chuck it
Over yourself from out of a Bucket

An album, ''Tiswas Presents the Four Bucketeers'', was also released. This included both singles together with other skits from the TV series. Contrary to the impression given by the singles, these were not all concerned with pailborne aquatic antics. All of the Four Bucketeers' records were produced by Neil Innes .
