Inspiral Carpets with Mark E Smith of The Fall on TOTP

[Man79ism]

That's a painful 9 seconds.. Anyone else's memory jogged by Tom Vek's Warning Call on the new DJ Shadow album ?

No, mine neither...

[rebelVHS]

Is there anyone who still hasn't heard 'Cheap Space Chant' ?

In YouTube, search for 'Timekode, Mark E Smith'

and listen to the strangest and best MES/Fall

collaboration of them all...

[APublicDomain]

2:12 "You said you lost 2 stone in weight, so why are you so fat"

If the UK does need a figurehead at all, it should definitely be M.E. Smith.

Arise, King Smith... Your empire awaits you.

"I think you should realize what side you are on".

[echo680]

brilliant track

[350125Stay]

would have been nice to see a bit more of michael bolton's song.

[bohsblur]

perfect combo, indie gods the both of them.

[igotshitvids]

and CARTER USM too

[domesticempire]

Happy Days :)

Simon Mayo hasn't changed a bit has he?

Still the same God-bothering tiny twat-faced little cunt.

[Yorkmackem]

This episode of TOTP included MES, Morrissey and Elvis Costello. Oh and Michael Bolton........

[wackybumcheek]

MES just brings a smile to my face, he's an individual of the highest order. - " verses 1, 2, 3 and fiaaave-eh"!

[paraxicosis]

This is pure gold * o*

[RolexTharsus]

Proof that we need TOTP back on telly! E Smith ranting on primetime telly is the kind of behaviour that should be actively encouraged

[TheConstellation72]

I remember seeing this first time around-infact i uploaded the CD single to Demonoid earlier on..

Mark E Smith is a genius!!!!

[MeinErsterFilm]

nothing against Smith but he ruins the whole song...

[ELASTICAMAN]

n marke smith makesd this great, the other guy neednt sing

[staraszycha]

Note that next person to play that day on totp was Morrissey...

[felixcock]

Micky Bolt-On is a depressed helmet worshipper.

[spurtfather]

didn't need the bolton popping out the internet portal in my fragile morning state. Mark looks like he just walked out the bookies on a wet afternoon. His jacket's nearly as awful as that Carter song at the end. How fucking shite was carter? pretty fucking shite!

[flemwad]

my god I was just going to post about that. It really spoiled my day seeing that idiot when i expected to see mark e smith :) Anyway XELDERS you are a genius for posting one of my all time totp favourite moments. All hail to you mate!!!

[lilmisspino]

Get back in your pit, Spurty. CARTERUSM were the pooch's goolies. Take a day off from being a dick, have a solero and chill the feck out!

[spurtfather]

I'd rather be a dick than a pooch's goolie!

[chainrelease]

Two of the greatest of all time - what more can you say?

[cabronazo95]

@chainrelease

2 of the greatest? Do you mean Inspiral Carpets and MES, or MES and Michael Bolton?

[chainrelease]

@cabronazo95 Haw haw, now guess...

[nottforest]

Viva los Inspiral Carpets, Go!!!!

[orbfile]

lol....Michael Bolton then IC with Mark E...then Carter USM over the credits.....craziness

[jaymob123]

1st 2 comments sum it up(although I'm sure it was TOTP but Warevver!!)Michael Fxxxxxg Bolton!A prime candidate for throat cancer if there is a God.TOTP had to appeal to the masses so to see the MES was a miracle in itself(check out Telephone Thing, my 1st vision of the Mighty Fall on TV)

[nezichov]

How is it possible to have Michael Bolton on the same show? He is a primate. TOPS was clueless.

[Jimbobbil]

"Right... okay, thank you boys!"

[FablesJonny]

quality!!!!

the crowd are rocking out hard!!

best thing theve seen in years.. michael bolton suks!!

so does top of the pops!!

[cruiserscreek]

"verses one two three and five"

[cruiserscreek]

hahahahaa and the song on before him!!! icing on the cake!

[darsteadly]

Mark E Smith on top of the pops,A loose cannon in the BBC!!! Quality.

[binstig]

[jjj7477]

A double assault on our reserved sensabilities...

a match made left of heaven.....
