Such a fantastically talented singer, songwriter and actor. His genius and humour are underrated.

[patrickbut-not-a-saint]

Neil is probably Ireland's cleverest songwriter. A great talent.

[davebest]

One of the finest singer songwriters of the last twenty five years

[stephensmith]

This song got me through an especially acrimonious divorce in 1996 it made me laugh then and still makes me smile whenever I hear it now. So many great 'how was I to know that just one kiss...….. could turn my frog into a cow' and the sound of the guillotine falling gave me a lovely image of my ex missus, God bless her. Thank you Neil Hannon for this and so many other clever lyrics. A truly great wordsmith.

[gedrooney]

Arguably one of the greatest songwriters still alive

[grahamwitcher]

Neil Hannon is indeed one of the best songwriters of our generation. He is an an influence on my music.

[aethelredtheforty-second]

"And now I'm rid of her I must confess
/To thinking 'bout what might have been
/And I can visualise my frog princess
/Beneath a shining... guillotine."

Some of the greatest lyrics ever...

[stevenrichardson]

Finest lyricist of his generation. Thanks Neil.

[eyebrowman]

Intelligent, cultured, sarcastic, arch, hilarious. I could go on.😅

[georgeclancy]

Woah, I've known this song for a decade yet never suspected there was a video. Love it, miss the dandy days, back when he was more literary-focused.

[lupodelupis]

Casanova is an album full of great songs like this one.

[Potatomanofthesouth]

Another hit I've not heard since it last charted
