[MiddxDave]

[iceuk1]

[Hollandia777]

lampion's design is fuckin' cool

[jpsutcliffe]

[dall3n99]

This video is awsome, best playback performance ever xD

[birdy47]

I just noticed that the title's called ''stiff LITTE fingers'' lol, howd i miss that?

[aliblyth]

good taste. shit at spelling

[ManFromMelbourne]

Saw em play in Australia last year. They were awsome. The Aussies loved èm.

[Mikefits]

playback, but the show is great

[themightyrara]

Saw them on friday night, MENTAL!!

[Rawlinson18]

Was that with Bruce?

[theseatonslicer]

Look at the crowd ffs! They're dead from the scalp down and rigor-mortis has set in!! Should be dancing all over the place!

[nosajsenoj]

fuck pop idol and the drivel that is manufactured and paraded as music.... this is real music that meant something. simon cowell is the devil.....

[excoolpool]

Fuckin great, cant wait for the concert in Belfast on the 16th in the Ulster hall YES!!!!

[racinfancali]

agree w/stevensmith!

[DerekSmart]

They're still freaking awesome now! Listening to my dads lp's as a kid I loved them and now my sons listening to them running around in his walker!

[TheDoctorMasterThing]

i agree with most of the people underneath

[stevensmith288]

punk rock at its best

[bovverboots86]

I heard the interview with Jake on the Nobody Heroes album...they got incredibly blind drunk after having re-recorded the track for TOTP under the scrutiny of the Musicians Union and they had put the equivalents of mutes on the drum kit...which is also why in TOTP there is a track where the drummer wears one of the crash mutes on his head...the whole story was quite funny.

[tim1812h]

Oh yesssss still makes me want to pogo.

[MissStyk]

what a fucking great song!

[MrPSGifford]

thirty years on and this is still as exciting as when i first heard it.

[galdacanobaby]

He he - Jake looks like he has had a skinful

[leopardjeans]

Played with only one stick, using his hand for the other.

[matwsussx]

ordinary lads in of millions on the telly. brilliant stuff! i'd be pissing my self with leaughter if it was me. thats what punk was all about! great band

[RivalRebel]

1:32.....Jake Burns looks so adorable!

[jazmyneclash]

he always looks adorable ;)

[Hammerstein99]

wow! so fucking great!

[coatbridgebhoy1798]

drummer wasted it for SLF with his big jock knew sentiment. Watch yer back.

[joestrummer999]

An amazing song...one of my fave by SLF.

[youthgoes]

This is by far my favorite SLF song. Very well written, hard-hitting and melodic. They always have something to say, and that is why they will always be one of my favorites.

[datoobster75]

HAHAHAHAAAA!!!! Top performance, top band, overall TOP COMEDY FLICK! - vocalist Burns laughing at himself in the screen up above, the drummer leaving his seat to join the rest of the band and the drumming's still going, LOL!!! Pure comedic synching that only bands like this can pull off in style on TOTPs.

:)

[InBloomCobain]

i hate how nobody seems to know about these guys !

even some family i have in Ireland didn't know about them !

amazing my favorite punk band =)

[clairerox4]

rofl

[DesertBurst92]

what guitar is the lead singer using? I know its a gibson, but what kind?

[knighty1964]

its a yamaha SG , big in the 70,s and 80,s

[2bsure]

Bet every young person can relate to the lyrics. First class song, good stuff

[kismet110]

Massively under-rated band, brilliant songs with great lyrics. I got to see loads of the great 'punk' bands back in the day but missed out on SLF, maybe one day soon .....

[vinle7]

lol i just listend to the interview like mkbass92 did and searched around the internet, XD funny as hell, drummer literaly duct taped drum sticks to his hand so he had three or for on one hand then he was just beating the shit outa the symbols oh my god that was funny as hell

[virginiatiger]

Hey where would that interview be?

[Metallideth1337]

Emm...

I think it's one of the halfs of an interview Jake Burns gave on the CDs for Inflammable Material and Nobody's Heroes

[mkbass92]

hahaha i just listened to an interview with jake burns and he was talking about how the band got wasteddd before this and how he kept laughing and looking at himself in the monitor above him

[kubicapanis]

i listeend to the interview and found the video lol

[welshwayne]

Wana C....S.L.F

ov the port.

[finalgoon]

One of the best punk rock songs ever written...maybe one of the best rock&roll songs period. Brilliant.

[spitfiremcguire]

I remember seeing this on TOTP and that was it - SLF fan for the rest of my life - great track

[kimkelsiexx]

fucking class in abundance!!

GOD HOW I WISH I WAS AROUND IN THE DAYS!!

I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG ERA FOR SURE

I always listen to punk and all my friends dont have clue!!!

I have my dad to thank 4 introducing me to it so thanx dad!!

PUNK AINT DEAD!!

PUNK AS FUCK!!!

[hotpocketdude]

I always used to wish the same thing, but there are a crap load of bands that are really fuckin good, bands that are making the best music i have ever heard in my life. Now I am truly happy to be born in this era. Bands Include The Spits, The King Khan & BBQ Show, The Coathangers, The Gaye Blades. Just to name a few.

[Spanj77]

totally agree.

this generation is a damn sucky one to be in

damn lucky SLF are still going :D

[joeyoap]

Trust me on this one-it was a fucking shite era to grow up in but the music was it's only saving grace.

[kubicapanis]

thats exactly how i feel - and like u said, thanks to my dad for getting me into it

[MarcJboy]

0h well, dead it may be, but undeniably a good era, Jake burns and co. show that here - well done ludeboy

[SoiCowboy2]

Still going strong and still the greatest band to grace the planet

Great blokes as well- great to see that again

[corridorsofpower]

punk was dead after the band the Blitz was in and out of the public vernacular so fast--around the time of the Instigators, Subterfuge..actually before that even.

[corridorsofpower]

yep livin' the moment in my mirror putting this choice bit of mid period fingers vinyl on..

[guffley]

class. these days will never return. poor kids now listen to shite and think its good

[01fleabag01]

i went to see these the other day in farham

ive also seen the damned,u.k subs , anti nowhere league , n a sex pistols tribute band . i really wanna see more !

[gazz12345678]

punk is an attitude,whereas the ramones were singing about blitzkrieg bop and shit like that s.l.f. sham and best of all the clash were singing about real life ,unemployment no money ,etc wake up usa green day are not the be all and end all of punk

[edinburghpostie]

best band on the planet ....keep it going lads

[acrylicwand]

Punk is an attitude mr farrell not a hair cut,just look at another great band you might of heard of, if ur head was'nt stuck up ur arse,called The Ramones!

[sexmeup8]

[tatoad]

[sheeda66]

[johnfish1]

[orlandoflowers]

jfarrell don't understand what punkrock is

[blades1992]

[howdenender]

jfarrell123 you are a fuckin idiot.

[jfarrell123]

pop band look at the haircuts punk they never kidded me they helped kill punk

[middxdiehard]

Whats the haircuts got ot do with it. It was the mohican thrash crap that killed punk. This is a fucking good band and still are.

[jfarrell123]

their first album was ok after that they wer shite

[miketribute1]

your talkin pure an utter shite my friend(fuckin mohawk shite thats fuckin oi not punk)

crossover skin n punk is what killed the best punk bands..an now they play with fuckin brass sections....bollox

[dandandandan48]

and nothing has killed punk, punk can never die. just get boring, useless and misunderstood. but it will never die.

[dandandandan48]

jfarrell what the hell do you know? a "punk haircut" isn't what makes you a punk...

[Johnoco66]

SLF - brilliant. Sad bastard that I am, I remember that this TOTP was actually on a FRIDAY night for some reason...soccer?...anyway I made an even worse recording on my crappy old tape thing off the TV (no leads or owt like that in those days)

[bohsfan1]

class...

[amoreenalucero]

why does top of the pops make you lip synch?

[elspithreid]

BRILLIANT!!! ELSPITHREID

[muckletoon]

belter

[JOCKC66]

still the best band in the land nice to see the totps piss take video again

[JBtheMod]

Fuckin' great clip .... nice one mate !!

[theonlytruepunk]

remember, after this album they got really mellow and decided not to play their older songs. Yep, I saw them in 1981..and they got mad at the audience for asking them to play their old tunes. Bummer.

[SportingLice]

HAHA they re pissed! great song thou!

[ForevertonFC]

The singer is very good at singing, but not very good at lip-sinking :D

[talkingblitz10]

is there any more footage from the totp show?

[nemesis117]

HAHAH he keeps laughing at himself because he can see himself on the screen :D he spoke about it in one of his interviews

[deathprince]

It looks as if he's laughing because he fucked up the lip synching. To me anyway...

[pasiou]

they made him lip synch and it was just a combo of everything making him laugh

[leofransisco]

great band great song shame about the film quality
