The Wurzels, I Am A Cider Drinker

[TheRadwulf]

The comments on here are the funniest i have seen on youtube. Happy New Year!

[keef71]

nowadays it'll be 'i am a buckfast drinker'

[myepiphone]

I remember this bunch appearing on Bill Grundys show in 1976,they caused ructions with their scrumpy drinking,loads of "Oo arring" and finally one of them admitted that he saw nothing wrong in having a relationship with a sheep.Grundy got sacked and EMI dropped these scrumpy swillers soon after...... at least .I think they did,or am I getting a bit confused with another group on EMI.?

[richards1965]

proper job...!!!!

[heart29100]

there so old but they ok

[Foersvin]

alestorm version is better

[thenebelwerk]

alestorm's version is a WAY better!

[GimmeDatDammit]

if this was 1976, the Wurzels got away with one, saying "cow shit" on television!!!! Grats to them!!! way ahead of the curve on this one!!!!!

[OpFirefield]

@GimmeDatDammit Would that they had; officially the lyric is "cow shed" so no angry BBC bosses. Nice username by the way.

[xxsouthsidepaulxx]

I love that these guys are on a kids tv show singing about how good drinking cider is!!! They even ask the kids to join in with the chorus! Legendary......

[myepiphone]

Off their face on a mixture of booze,drugs and glue,these guys later went back to their hotel room and trashed it

[ancientraver19881989]

imagine them letting them having a boozing song on childrens programmes today - not a chance! its about getting pissed for goodness sake!

[BOT101st]

what awful hair styles back then, although the next generation will look back at our hair styles and think "what awful hairstyles" and so on and so forth.

But still good song :)

[MEST027]

[pinkandjefflynne]

Strongbow rules

[Thetellurianvortex]

@pinkandjefflynne

Forget the more popular brands, try Aspall's Suffolk cyder for starters.

[MagnusBruce]

@pinkandjefflynne

NO!

Strongbow is one of the worst abominations to ever think of using the word "cider" to describe their brand of liquid filth.

[dibble007]

Like im sez s'a proper job. Personal like iz drinks Pimms and Soda but yer cant beat scrumpy in the hay barn wiz a young gal!

[MultiGilligan]

@jamesbuckton123 Ya gets wot ya gets.

[xmoroseguyx]

A mate of mine`s got an old Slim Whitman record, And one of the songs on it sounds just like this, Only they have changed the lyrics, I imagine that must be the original because it was so long ago, I also heard one of the singers died in a car crash near Taunton some time ago. As for the Cider!  I doubt a lot of the stuff on the market has ever seen an apple! I know If you drink it over a long time, It gives you high blood pressure, That`s why the farmers gets their red faces.

[Boingy72]

Wait till they bring in the 50 pence a unit. Thats £11.50 for 3 liters of cider.

[AshtonPhoto]

"Aah hah hah, ooh arrr"

Is that Tiff Needel??

[eckb1690]

my workmate rambo loves this song. but then again he likes his cider 2

[earlysunsets3]

[drummergirlnancy]

I LOVE the Wurzles!!!! We used to have a cassette tape of theirs and it was a family favorite. The kids and I used to have so much fun listening to it and dancing around while we cleaned the house! I have no idea what happened to that cassette, but I could cry every time I remember its gone!!!

I'm so happy to have just discovered the Wurzles on YouTube! I can't find the song with the lyrics 'base over apex again' (or something like that) .. anyone have a link to it?

[Boingy72]

cider is a true english drink and long let it be.... forget the tax (if over 18) brew it yourself

[boffo1962]

Isn't it wonderful seeing all those children singing right along!

[mcfrdmn]

Lovely performance

[rnm1011]

Who's the unsexual announcer?

[robert17341]

[robert17341]

[Boingy72]

[nidgybaby]

[AlbionsNumberOne]

Ha! This is brilliant! I be's a Gin drinker myself, but cider does me fine on a sunny afternoon!

[Boingy72]

10 percent tax what a joke

[warlockuk]

That's 10% above inflation too. I think the actual value is something like 13%

[rrr2407]

woodgate cider is the new strongbow.....

[FlashBackkFam]

think if you drunk it all day your guts would be fuckked. lol

[rapidrory]

nothin' beats homemade cider made from the apples in your own cider orchard... Ah the joys of livin' in the somerset!

[plane15]

im a cider drinker as well, they put tax up on it, bastards.

[xzxlevixzx]

omg, operantly they are coming back.

lol, when i was little i went to dorset fair and... danced with them, on stage

[willyseeit100]

tax my mouth badger face. fluck orf.

[wardo1967]

strongbow till i die!

[gljcleeve]

If you're going to drink cider, drink a proper cider like Old Rosie or Old English unless you know where they sell good scrumpy.

Proper job young un.

[acdcrock93]

@wardo1967 Strongbow isnt very good cider. Its too cheaply mass produced. Go to country fairs and steam fairs and you will find some decent scrumpy

[sTeVie4TV]

This song looks like its going to be a hit again. People in the UK are downloading this song in protest at the 10% above inflation price rise on Cider. Quoite Roight too. Carnt beat a drap o' the ol' Coidar. The Worzels provided the soundtrack to our farmyards and drinking sessions.

[cruyffianslip]

LOL I dunno what else to say really.....

:-)

[JK1367]

OMG what fun were those guys having?? I heard the BBC say this was going to be re-released to protest the new tax in Britain - i hope it makes it to #1 as it will make all of us smile! Super!
