Ian Dury - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick [Official Video]

[quinneya95]

must be one of the worst songs ever made!!!

[malen1999]

Halla eins gott að við verðum ekki svona á árshátíðinni !!!

[malen1999]

OMG !!

[DAVEYBOND007]

Norman Watt Roy.... does it get any better than that???

[pfaffman100]

This has to be one of the best uploads on the Tube, fantastic job. Thank-you kind.

[likliksusu]

It must take guts to be Ian Dury. Ask yourself, if you were born looking like that would you have the nads to get up and perform like him? Ups to ID I reckon irrespective of what people think of his stuff...and yeah, he'll never sing opera right? Bloody entertaining though.

[spanishbomber921]

Shittttttt Song

[mikefranky]

@spanishbomber921 ....Shit spelling!!...

[spanishbomber921]

@mikefranky GAY FUCK ALERT

[MissPhyscosocial]

The film Sex Drugs And Rock And Roll brought me here.

I can honestly say it was one of the best films I've ever seen.

And I'm 13.

[101Prittyprincess]

Love this song and I was born in 2000

[PaleBunnyInfidel]

@trueblue374 HAHA I don't know,video didn't have an AD for me.My computer is set up to auto-translate Swedish to English (cause I live in Sweden, but speak english) I don't know what is going on, but the TAB dropped down & said THIS PAGE HAS BEEN TRANSLATED FROM ENGLISH TO ENGLISH. Whatever! HA I am old, he is dead, I weep for the past, no avail, past stays dead, nothing now will EVER compare. Miss you Ian, miss you 1980. THE TERM Sex&Drugs&Rock-N-Roll CREATED BY IAN DRURY!! FUCKING JAZZ ROCK

[nickatnite6969]

If Dr. Seuss was a singer, he would be Ian Dury.

[rosiewardd96]

OMG. I grew up on Ian Dury and Steve Harley. It reminds me of being 7 years old and talking about our favourite songs in primary and when I said Hit Me With Your Rythem Stick the teacher looked at me as if to say WHAT THE FUCK. I love this song man.

[felixrodstein]

[DatZinkiiGuy]

[ghiffa666]

.....Eskimo, Borneo, Bourdeaux .... hit me:-)

[absolormario]

como extrano su musica....

[snipsnapsnurr]

Terrible sound quality, wonderful performance.

[Skankindragon1]

is it just me... or is this guys head friggin huge compared to his body?

[tonskiwood]

@Skankindragon1 Yes it is, he had polio when he was a kid, so I'm assuming his body didn't grow to the same extent as his head. Ian Dury ROCKS!

[theonlymoo5e]

Hit #1 on the UK pop chart for 1 week in Jan 1979 - first new #1 of the calendar year

[thebedlingtonterrier]

@theonlymoo5e I think it was YMCA maybe ?

[theonlymoo5e]

@thebedlingtonterrier duh, I make mistake LOL YMCA was the first of the year, this song was 2nd of the year lol

[thumper250464]

bass.. nothing more to say....

[Exaquir]

@thumper250464

Jeah, the bass guitar is really great in this song!

[IanHunedoara8]

Alas-The wilds of Borneo have since been turned to matchsticks and designer kitchens.

[svnsn92]

HAHAHA, lachwekkend

[speeron]

2:12 akimbo sax

[thdominat0r]

this guy's on crack and glitter

[Balertwine]

Another thing... the horn interlude at 2:05 is pure insane genius. I see here in the video it's one guy playing two saxophones at the same time. Holy Hell. Holy Hell. I've loved that instrumental interlude since the day this album came out. Pure insane genius!!!

[Balertwine]

Ian Dury is dead. So the slick pigs that own his creative works now have them up on a YouTube site making money hand over fist with commercial advertisements? I bet he left no survivors and someone's making more money than Ian ever did. Slimeballs. Screw your advertisements.

[shariahshia]

ahh i see you were quite high while singing this

[trueblue374]

When am I going to get to a youtube video that doesn`t have any fucking adverts at the beginning ITS ANNOYING!!!!!!!! they`re on every youtube video........listen youtube stop spoiling classic music videos with adverts.......if you want to spoil music videos with adverts put them on videos of someone who is annoying, shit and can`t sing.........JUSTIN BIEBER!!!!!!!!!!

[NoMoreC2]

@trueblue374 Whether i watch them or not does not change there legal status but it does show you to be a retard for even suggesting it could.

[trueblue374]

@NoMoreC2 another thing idiot if its illegal to post videos on youtube how come youtube videos can be downloaded with the clip extractor.....I`ve download hundreds of youtube music videos onto my computer with the clip extractor

[NoMoreC2]

@trueblue374 That still does not change the fact it is illegal.Maybe the idiot behind this posting should read the terms of contract.I don't give a shit personally but i'm not the stupid one complaining about having to see ads on a copyrighted work.

[ShroedingerWatcher]

@trueblue374 No, they are not on every Youtube video. Only those that want to be Youtube whores (i.e. want a slice of the advertizing scummy pie). If only more people would turn it off in the account settings and not use copyright material.

There are two ways around the ad filth anyway.

1. Use an ad blocker in Firefox (if they still work for free).

2. Or use an anti virus program with an ad blocker.

[ilysjdb]

@trueblue374 effff off bro justin bieber is amazing. you jealous bitch!!!

[afro10k]

@trueblue374 I'd rather have adverts than have to pay... Also go for an unofficial upload I think...

[EustonFilms]

@trueblue374 I agree but the reason they dov it is to pay for all the infringements of copyright that goes on you tube. i found that out today.

[Shards1992]

@trueblue374 If there were no adverts, there'd be no YouTube mate

[paulph12002]

@Shards1992 There was a YouTube without ads before Google took over in 2006.

[DragonFire569]

@trueblue374 if its an advert that you cant skip, refresh the page and it usualy changes to a one you can skip or it has no advert

[paulph12002]

@trueblue374 If you're on Firefox you can download and install the AdBlock Plus plugin which will kill all the ads.

[dogtown639]

@trueblue374 Quit complaining those adds are income for those channels. And for that matter with out advertising their would be no radio tv or youtube.

[KingSatyr]

@trueblue374 would you rather pay money to watch these videos? the ads keep youtube free you MUTT

[sporecreatorperson]

...

Lewis' Life Story?

[tokkeification]

Utrolig bra musikk med skikkelig trøkk, takk skal du ha Ian:-)

[lukalex93]

[monkeyjoe100]

[majjam556]

[cairnsman56]

[banditbronable]

@cairnsman56 That bass line is just..I've said it before and will say it again. love to learn the lines properly. Dammit boy, stop gawping at YT and get on that bass!

[QuiroQuiro]

I want to be a Lunatic with a Razzle in my pocket and being hit with your Rythm Stick, Ian (S.A.) :))) You were great Ian. Original and to the point. Thankssssss.

[TheProject1177]

hit me with your rythem stick

lollololo i love the yogscast

[IamNick2k11]

I'd love to hit him

[rrafekaj]

The bass is playing the wrong part of the song in the close up. Doh

[jacquesB00T]

It's not Keanu Reeves on keyboard, it's Chaz Jankel. And for the cat that said his head was too big for his body, if you were old enough to know when Ian Dury was walking the earth, you would know that he was a childhood victim of polio, and was consequently crippled for life, but obviously not crippled in spirit!

[binkyspoon]

@jacquesB00T no, it's defo Keanu Reeves on keyboard! He told me himself!

[tbcass]

@jacquesB00T As someone who grew up in the 50's when Polio was common and had friends who had it, the fact that Ian's head and neck are so large compared to his body has nothing to do with Polio.

[binkyspoon]

his head looks out of proportion to the rest of his body!

[galipooh]

@binkyspoon That's because he had polio.

[clubpenguin777]

Strangest song i've heard in a long time.

[TheRealFreeman1]

My Radio brought me here, lol.

[CountVonBlack]

this is my "goin to get booze song" :) love it!

[benmalone71]

Lou Reed!? Lou Reed!! Lou's a tool God love him! Ian was a genius far more inspirational and entertaining. Blockheads were an Amazing band!!!!

[azapro911]

If there were ever a British Lou Reed...

[cola414]

Genius!!Thats all!!

[shininggriffon]

Fuck Yogscast

[The61chop]

Agora Ballrom Cleveland Ohio 1977 Ian Dury was amazing as the opening act for lou reed. I was in the 5th row and the blockheads started throwing joints into the crowd { i thought } they were wood clothe pins. still have it

Great stuff. Pure quality. The so called "Blockheads" were all of course top notch musicians. And Ian wasn't too shabby himself. RIP big man.

[helraiser666painkil]

This is one of the coolest songs ever wrote I really like this one by Ian Dury brilliant singer and song writer ever to be put on the face of this planet. And I'd always recomend to anybody lisning to this song to play it full blast through your PC speakers or Headphones I recon it's the best and only way to lisen to this song because it's pure classsic song and will always be for decades to come.
