Mr Wu's a window cleaner now.

[Talbot]

I watched the latest release of Le Carre's 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' last night.

George Formby's 1940 song 'Mr Wu's a window cleaner now' features (briefly) in a prominent part of the film.

I enjoyed the film, and was pleased to hear George Formby in this carefully crafted film.

I've been known to whistle and/or sing "When I'm Cleaning Windows" when doing that task. I do not, however, accompany myself on the banjolele.
