A NICE LITTLE EARNER…

While our House was a reasonable Us hit at the time of its release, it subsequently made its mark via TV shows and adverts. the song was quoted in an episode of the simpsons, sung by Frasier Crane in Cheers, and used to sell sausages in the 80s and Halifax current accounts and mortgages in the 90s.

the song is arguably best known to generations of Brits thanks to its use in a episode of only Fools and Horses. in time on our Hands, our House soundtracks del Boy and rodney’s sudden change in fortunes when they find and auction a rare timepiece. del Boy’s boast of “this time next year we’ll be millionaires” finally comes true.

the episode still holds the record for the highest viewing figures for a British comedy programme. and with its showing on gold practically every weekend, everyone must have seen it. all except the guy who wrote the song. asked how our House came to be featured in OFAH, graham nash said: “sorry… i’ve never heard of it.”
