The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode TOTP Live September 1992

[trisholda1]

mr.C is legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nuthouseINC]

>When the Shamen appeared on Top of the Pops, it was expected that Mr C should tone down the song due to its being broadcast. The group replaced the final lyrics: "Got any Salmon?" - with "Has anyone got any underlay?" The BBC were furious, and dragged Mr C into a room off-camera, to explain himself, only to be told that it was simply a gratuitous rug reference.

Can anybody tell what is "salmon" and what is "underlay"?

[wozandchaz]

mr c is the boy

this is v good

[randsholman]

Embarassing...

[AdamCW2k5]

there was another performance from totp on here that was way better !, but its missing

[HammerLex77]

Even as a Shamen fan, I have to say that was fucking awful!

[kcirdrab]

Piss poor performance

[EtherealAesthetic]

haaaaaaaahhahah!!! at least its live lol! this song is clearly about ecstacy. had too much by the look of them lol1

[GlennnD]

I was looking at the weird outfit of Mr.C.... And suddenly i reconized it from somewhere else ! ..... Pshyco Mantis from Metal Gear Solid !

[Garycarlyle]

man, that was basically marketing to launch a drug industry. loved the song though back in the day.

[retchen]

This was the most contrived, commercial dance tune ever and has dated justifiably. The only thing good about it is the hot piece of fanny far left, back row.

[nervchemnitz]

@retchen you mean the fanny in the white corset at 1:18...? Yeeaahh, that's nice :)

[EtherealAesthetic]

@retchen comment of the minute!

[camc23]

He reminds me of Rik Mayall.

[asbost01]

[JonMcElectro]

Never saw or heard this version of the Song. Very rare Upload Mate!

[Tetramastbad]

Oh, now i get it;Es' are good.

[iceblue262]

whats with the cheesy music?

[Dave70100]

Colin Angus looked cool on the Move Any Mountain TOTP performance but looks like a wally here.

[tcvicesquad]

@Dave70100 I've not heard the word "wally" used for fucking YEARS!!!

[dizzybees]

Yes me too, I loved this version better than the released version after seeing this on TOTP.

[mixomatosis]

Well they clearly weren't going to get Jerry Sadowitz on TOTP, so they had to improvise...

[TheSecretEye]

This isn't the actual song, though! Same lyrics, but weird music...

[benolly22]

lavvelly

[dlokmir]

my stomach cramps up watching this..... haha you all know what i mean

[jellodust]

Has anybody got any Veras ? Luvely !!!

[rhydermike]

Great stuff. I was specifically looking for this clip as I remembered watching it on the TV at the time.

[alanheath]

Nice to hear this version - and I have never seen this clip from TOTP - but I prefer the original (assuming the best known version is the original that is).

Thanks for posting!!

[mikelivingstone1974]

I really like this live performance. The single was clearly heavily studio produced, but actually the live performance does show The Shamen's raw talent and wit.

[dragonfitter]

i carnt belive that they denied the drug connection and got away with it

[alanheath]

@dragonfitter I thought he admitted it later!

[dragonfitter]

@alanheath he did but about 10 years later

[Meteddica]

Victory!

[Slane717]

Great, thanks havent seen this before!
