Like Clara, many people in the UK often refer to the music as "The Benny Hill Theme", due to its use as the theme tune for ''The Benny Hill Show''. In reality, the piece is titled "Yakety Sax" and was first performed by American saxophone player Boots Randolph (the song's co-composer) in 1963. | Like Clara, many people in the UK often refer to the music as "The Benny Hill Theme", due to its use as the theme tune for ''The Benny Hill Show''.
