who wrote who do you think you are kidding mr hitler
Dad's Army The show's theme tune, "Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Hitler?" was Jimmy Perry's idea, intended as a gentle pastiche of wartime songs. It was the only pastiche in the series, as the other music used was contemporary to the 1940s. Perry wrote the lyrics himself and composed the music with Derek Taverner. Perry persuaded one of his childhood idols, wartime entertainer Bud Flanagan, to sing the theme for 100Â guineas. Flanagan died less than a year after the recording. At the time it was widely believed to be a wartime song.[16]
