Not The Nine O'Clock News Kinda Lingers Music

[Emilydaffern4]

Like if you are watching this in 2012!

[MordaciousFilms]

I should be able to own this show in the US on DVD, yes? It is for sale?

[ianspaceboy]

it was the last one every

[PatricianVet]

Kinda lingers!



[temujin888]

Lmao ntnon is brilliant

[Utsumo]

I love how the pretence of saying "kinda lingers" is initially kept up and then they just abandon it completely

[Rukanormoonbringer]

i dont get it :(

[squishy3000]

@Rukanormoonbringer Basically, "Kinda Lingers" sounds an awful lot like "cunnilingus". I would explain it here, but I don't want to ruin your innocence, so just Google it. But don't say I didn't warn you...

[closertofiftythanyew]

where did I put that clit?

[anmaree]

Haha, I remember seeing this as a kid and not getting it at all.

[emergenyexit23]

@anmaree That's reassuring to hear.

[samwisethebrave0123]

I have to say this was one of my favourite songs when I was a little kid but at that age I actually heard 'Kinda Lingers' now I can't hear a single one of them singing that, lmao.

[Webminky]

Damn this brings back memories!  Thank you lol

[sufcok]

Genius these guys....

[MultiSmartass1]

Well shot parody of music video. Looks terrific because it was shot on film. This parody is nice because it sends up break-up songs. Cunninlingus! You could never do that on US tv!

[MrDCWood]

Very emotional way of saying goodbye. And at the same time, an absolutely inspired way of getting away with something.

Genius really

[Pragjag]

The morning after this was first broadcast a schoolfriend of mine said that his parents had been in stitches watching it. There was obviously something very rude going on but we couldn't figure out what it was.

[slytherinsheirx]

Awesome! I wonder whether they actually said 'kinda lingers' or what it sounds like... Hard to tell :P

[OmegaRFox]

Think they sung Kinda Lingers than cunnilingus... but maybe not making it that obvious

[TREWITHEN]

haha, not only do they say cunnilingus, but there were 69 ratings aswell lmao

[HippyCalliach]

@TREWITHEN HAHAHAHAHA

[FuschiaFoxx]

I love you 'Kinda Lingers' video !!!

[Naitch1981]

Was this their last sketch together?

[xxgeorgibunnyxx]

yeh it was! sad isn't it. but good song notherless lol!

[OmegaRFox]

It seems like it, but not really sure where it came in time

[60sto80s2]

lol it a spoof of abba's SOS video i think

[cbak12sg]

No it isn't. The only Abba video like this was Under Attack, and that wasn't a big enough to be recognised.

Must agree about the way Griff says Cunnilingus, Pam?, and then she smiles.....

[guitarsquiddy]

This is so stupid.

I actually feel guilty for laughing me bum off.

[mikep973]

love ntnon

[anmaree]

Heh, I didn't get this as a child, either. :)

[Hornet85]

I actually enjoyed the song

[MrPauldascal]

0:36 The best!

[Saternalius]

I like the way Griff says "Cunnilingus, Pam?" like it's an offer. ;)

xx

[OmegaRFox]

Yeah XD

[MrNinjaFish]

@Saternalius Wouldn't you?

[WTFmoviecompany]

@Saternalius becase he can't say goodbye

[IanGorton]

@Saternalius And the way she says "Oh Griff!"

[withnail555]

NTNON was a truly ground breaking show. Fantastic. They would never have been allowed to say cunnilingus on the BBC so they said something a bit similar. Brilliant.

[amelb8]

Does anyone remember the NTNOCN sketch that was a parody of Sheena Easton's 'Morning Train'? I can't find it anywhere!

[OmegaRFox]

I want that one as well

"and tries to strangle me-eee"

[Pagangirl101]

Oh the Sheena Easton one: -

"My baby takes the morning train;

He spends all day with a whore and then..."

- Yeah I remember that. (Shows age.) haven't seen that on YouTube yet; but it may well be there somewhere.

[psymon2005]

These guys must all be cunning linguists to think of this.

[jayrip]

*applause* that cracked me up

[MuffiiinMan]

cunnilingus is awesome

[heather21287]

Kelly Osbourne- thanks for directing me here, this is hilarious, just what I needed this morning :)

[XcentrickSalo]

Love this! LMAO! Such an awesome show back in the day!

[iluvjulianbarratt]

Thank you Richard Herring for talking bout this (and Oswald Mosley)

Genius :D

[merdufer]

is that from the same show with the "o-verchina, o-verchina, over china town" song?

[CChallinor]

No merdufer you are thinking of the Two Ronnies

[wilberforcehumphries]

yes it is merd. that was a sketch with mel smith and griff rhys-jones called 'the two ninnies'. absolutely brilliant.

[merdufer]

ya their "sneak-smut-in" style is great fun.

[DarthVezok]

what sexual position does it rfer to?

[fossefan]

When did this air?  I see that NTNOCN ended in 1982, but if they're spoofing "Under Attack" by ABBA (which I think they are), it'd have to be really late '82 or early '83.

[ishovell]

Bizarrely NTNOCN finished in March 1982 - before "Under Attack" was even written. Which means that it's either a big coincidence, or the directors of the ABBA video copied the TV show!

[fossefan]

Maybe ABBA (particularly Frieda) wanted revenge after "Super Dooper".

[cbak12sg]

They're not spoofing Under Attack. It's a coincidence that it's in a deserted factory.

[tudgefunnel]

I thought it finished in March 1983. After which Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis went onto Blackadder.

[ishovell]

Both imdb and Mark Lewisohn's excellent book "Guide to TV Comedy" list the final episode as going out on 8 March 1982.

[tudgefunnel]

Thanks. I probably caught a repeat showing in 1983 and mistakenly thought it was a first showing of the last series.

I better start taking more Omega 3 and other brain boosting foods before I forget other facts and figures.

Thanks again.

[vettae]

"Kindalingers brings the tears in my eye" I got this one only now, lol

[thewarden4444]

me too. I remember telling my dad I didn't get it and he said: "well yeah, there's another meaning". I only justgot it now.

[mrala123]

likes very legal

[OofusTwillip]

What I find even more disturbing is that, when I first discovered this song (in the summer of 1991, when I lived in England), I was so innocent that I listened to it many, many times, and just thought it was a very sweet, sad song of farewell. Of course, now that I'm thoroughly corrupted (more or less), I get the joke in it!

[vettae]

explain it for the non-British, please! :)

[OofusTwillip]

Now you're being silly, but here goes...

"Kinda lingers" sounds a lot like "cunnilingus" (a sexual act), particularly when said with an English accent with its softened "r" sound.

[vettae]

ah ok, I didn't see that, I'm probably too innocent, too :)

but what does Kinda lingers mean at the basis? I'm not an English native speaker.

[OofusTwillip]

The song's official title is "(The Memory) Kinda Lingers", meaning, "The memory sort of lasts".

[vettae]

Thanks! I got it now :)

[wildfemale]

I've always had a bad auditory modality;) But I've never thought that I suffer from some kind of obsession ;P

I'm hearing some indecent words in this song xD
