[marcin89ck]

cover from poland(1984) /watch?v=nVWRX_7yHFI

[pentura]

Tom Robinson stepped in for the Coral at Glastonbury this year at the BBC Introducing stage. And I'm glad he did !

[77777337]

first heard this on only fools & horses, beano to margate, classic!

[Grymligast]

@77777337 Look out Margate! And lock up your daughters eh! ........... alright Alan. Classic!

[Francy4116]

i love this song♥

[jaakkojoo]

yea, mattjg, this is better played live

[sutersp]

''

[mattjg789]

This version is WAY better than the album version! The released single seems kinda slower and less heavy. Just can't find this one anywhere outside of youtube.

[TheCreativeowl]

Math lesson: 1 gay + 3 straight = 2 4 6 8 great!

[MordakeHead]

@TheCreativeowl I thought Tom Robinson turned straight in recent years? Isn't he married to a woman and had a kid now?

[rozzo03]

sehr geil da bekomm ich sofort gute Laune

[Andyc18]

Only 10 minutes and then we'll be at the alfway ouse, that's where the SERIOUS stuff begins!!

[fabrikk60]

This was THE song that got me into "the new music" in 1978 when I was 18. Our Canadian copies of "Power In The Darkness" included a bonus disc with the Rising Free EP plus 2-4-6-8...

[PBL187]

I love basslines played in 4th notes does anyone know the bassline? Fills included?

[crazycam1998]

this songs has got nice guitar sounds

[MrXmonkeyx]

the only thing i hate about this song is that it has to end

[PDSJohn]

Top tune well performed. Great motoring music thanks Tom

[saigonosikyaku0113]

[imalovedrunk]

@imwhitennerdy

[SHAWADDYONTOUR]

hell yeh watt a tune by the way aaha

[floorspeed]

also i must say you have some very adult comments on here unlike most videos thanks for the nice read

[floorspeed]

i would of loved to see this song remastered and released again what a hit it would be on radio one while on the M1

[cray0752]

always has to be played when travelling down the M1

[PowerThirteen]

This song is pretty much a lesson in how to play great rhythm guitar. Great song! :)

[meermartin]

this was dedicated to the M1 Motorway opening

[thinkulye]

Jolly boys outing :D

[mariojorgecaeiro]

The perfect youth song. Instantly takes me 'there'! Thanks for posting.

2-4-6-8 bäverhojt!

[menchitty11]

The classic TRB line-up: Tom Robinson (bass/vocals), Danny Kustow (guitar/backup vocals), Mark Ambler (keyboards/backup vocals), and "Dolphin" Taylor (drums/backup vocals). The original & best!!

[xdclanswe]

2 4 6 8 bäverhojt

[EmeraldJunkie]

This, kids, is how its done.

[royberpaka]

...Oddział Zamknięty ( OZ )... jaja jak berety

[kitkatkafrin]

awww its been years since ive heard this! my mum used to play it in the car when we where kids about 13 years ago and we would sing along my mum, my brother and me haha

[leitros]

Gay Oi music. Supreme irony! Brilliant.

[NetGamingSolutions]

[JudusSpearos]

'The Jolly Boys Outing' Classic tune, Classic series of all time!!

[rustohiski]

memories, memories...

[suniram1]

I cannot understand that anyone can dislike this song. It one of the happiest songs I know.

[LouisJoe1998]

@RaystafariReefer92 up the only fools :)

[jarcher789]

@jarcher789 i never wrote this guys

[putzengiler]

I was in a cover band in '81 in upstate N.Y. and this song was always the opener in the first set. It's a great timeless rocker during the punk golden era.

[SoSayGoodbye1]

@putzengiler my cover band has this as a staple :)

[Hazaronova339]

I road tripped to this, couldn't stop grinning it was such a good feeling :D

[australaqua]

It makes no difference to me but I didn't know he was gay.

I don't know the workings of his mind.

It's just a song I hadn't heard for 20 years and I like it.

brings back good memories of Australia in the 70"s. It was widely played here.

[australaqua]

awesome 70's. to the milkbar on my skateboard. pie and tab cola. 20 cents.

check out aussie 70's ted mulry gang

[ace69er]

@australaqua Poor ol Teddy rocked! RIP! I m iss him! 1 of rocks gentlemen!

[Cloud6556]

@ace69er

Just so you know Tom Robinson is still alive...

[ace69er]

@Cloud6556 I NEVER said Tom was dead! You really must learn to read in context.

[MrSpacerooster]

@ace69er if hes not deead, then why did you say rest in peace

[ace69er]

@MrSpacerooster Oh for fuck sake! READ!! I said TEDDY (Mulry) Not Tom fucking Robinson!

Shit does any1 here actually understand english?

[rasvaag]

@ace69er Saying that, then saying "any1" really doesn't strengthen your point.

[000Angus000]

I always liked this - the guitar player had to be a fan of Paul Kossoff.

[perthgloryboy]

Saw the drummer Brian "Dolphin" Taylor playing with Stiff Little Fingers in about 1981!!!!

[Grymligast]

Look out Margate! And lock up your daughters eh!

..Alright Alan..

[DoctorDeo1]

@Grymligast No need to... Tom is , was and have always been - gay. If that´s what´s worrying you. And nowadays he´s OLD :o)

[Grymligast]

@DoctorDeo1 Sorry, you missed my Only Fools and Horses reference :p

[ledge888]

@Grymligast "alright rodney"

[jstb0b]

i was looking for a clip from to kill a mockingbird, but you know that's the great thing about the internet; you go looking for one thing and end up on something else entirely. groovy song. yea, i just said groovy, so wat? lol

[feelsokid3000]

懐かしい！

中学の頃聞いてました。

[scobywanker]

@TZukiMrAxlson "Hän on rockibändin pomo, hän on tunnetusti homo/ Hän laulaa meille niistä jotka eivät ketään riistä, ja silti saavat tuomion.."

[1FineYoungCannibal]

I always thought this was Status Quo.

[stubbyman1000]

one of the greatest driving songs of all time

[samsamm77]

25 people went on a Beano to Eastbourne



[Rhodesian1965]

I'm a liberal guy & I think it is disgusting and grossly hypocritical how SOME (ie not all)members of the Gay community have turned on Tom Robinson coz he... went straight. He did not turn Christian Conservative/ homophobic she just married a woman. I know Peter Tatchell agrees.

[jonkheere1]

@Rhodesian1965

Thank,s for the info,

I knew Tom was gay but it didn,t stop me from loving this song way back in the days when a WII fit was someone who could piss whilst doing a handstand.

[357magnumbitch]

meanest song ever

[Rhodesian1965]

They knew how to rock it the late '70's- Fleetwood Mac, The Jam, this, The Knack. Probably owe my existence to this- conceived in the Summer of '76-

Made me REALLY HOT!!!!

[Daisymaii12]

Taped this off Punk hour Sunday night 6-7 roger Prince Radio Luxemburg 19long time ago - thought I was the business.

[0oNoYourRoleo0]

Likee if u looked for this song from only fools and horses :)

[smits017]

@0oNoYourRoleo0 Nope, I saw it on ashes to ashes XD

[0oNoYourRoleo0]

@smits017 Gears of war 2?

[Emikero]

I put this onto a CD for a 3 hour drive my friends and I took when going to Schoolies. All 17 none of them had heard of TRB or this song. I had them hooked before we got down the street. ;P They are so awesome. :D

[69soff]

「ボクハオカマデス！」のトム・ロビンソン

[b4con94]

2 4 6 8.

[PAULLONDEN]

Always thought this was such a silly cliche troupe, Tom making a 'tough' duckface must be one of the silliest late 7T's affairs. He should've worn short trousers to make the "look"complete.

Glad to be cynical.

[SandWitchsBat]

havent heard this in years brill tune

[twmbabec]

I love this song! I often find myself humming or singing it!!

[Rez3rwista]

gites nutka, stare czasy sie przypominają :) 5/5

[zxpalpha]

I can just see boycie trigger del rodney and all the others getting pissed out of their skulls singing this :D

[Superbad1980]

@zxpalpha lol Whenever I hear this song I think of that episode! Classic.

[TheOneandOnlyWhovian]

@zxpalpha i am a huge fan of only fools and i agree with what u say 1989 the jolly boys outing

[PBL187]

@zxpalpha Its used on the episode where they go to Margate along with Everybody's Talking At Me (Nilsson)

[Trish0100]

Can remember my husband employing you back in the late 70's..great song great memories

[stashyjon]

This full version makes for a far better listen than the radio edit you normally hear.

[stikkirecords]

great song and band!!

[nifcloverfergie]

[MrThrower13]

i am from greece the most racistic country in the world . they hate emos and they hate gays , black people , immigrants , jews , europeans because they have a better civilization . please put down greece

[snipelfritz]

@MrThrower13

I would, but Gyros are just so damn good. Then again, the best Gyro I ever had was at an Afghani restaurant in Minneapolis(Crescent Moon Pizza). Does that count as an insult?

If not, Greece is broke. Too bad you couldn't figure out some system of mutually infallible financial destruction (or as I call it MIFD) with your ideological enemies. Well I guess that is why Greece snuck into the Euro...(i could go on like this forever but I only have 30 characters left, well only 5 no

[Rhodesian1965]

All for gay liberation (or rather Sexual Liberation for all; lgbt and anything else (adult) you can think of). Pathetic how same gay people villified Tom for turning straight.

Stonkin' anthem too.

[Nintendo77612]

only fools every episode seen jolly boys outin in top 5 quality tune

[XxpapaXsmurfxX]

Only fools and horses = Best show ever!!

And thats coming from a 15 year old!!

In 1980 Tom played at our venue, Brollies, in Richmond Surrey, with his band, Sector 27. In comparison to some others in the music bis. at that time, I found him to be a true gentleman.

[leyzer87]
