The Piranhas - Tom Hark

[pc99pc]

Used to roadie for a band - Hazzard - who supported the Piranhas at the Alhambra and also played with other bands there too c. 1977 - 79. Magic, total magic,

[ConanTheBrightonian]

Dick Slexia - Drums

Reginald Frederick Hornsby - Bass

Zoot Alors - Sax

Johnny Helmer - Guitar

'Boring' Bob Grover - Guitar and vocals

Great band. Manys the happy night I spent watching them in the Alhambra in Brighton, before the APL (Anti Pirhana League) deemed they'd 'sold out' by having a hit. Now reduced to being played as 'goal music' at some of our more soulless football grounds.

[gasgas270]

[worldcoup]

Great tune....but the 80's were sh&t...all coppers, conservatives, cnuts, & dole..they were quite bleak...but fantastic for the rich with interest rates reaching 18% at one point.

[rockhoppyproductions]

my football chant is

25 points it wasnt enough

25 points it wasnt enough

my team dundee fc got a 25 point deduction and stayed up but it was sadly enough to stop our promotion to the SPL

I will have this song played if I am ever rich, with milions or billions of pounds as my song of celebration.

[laypyu]

i ended up here cuz of a football chant.. :D

[FlamingParanoiaSpoon]

1) why is the drummer drumming completely out of sync, and with fish? (which do not look like pirhanas.)

2) the white gloves are mickey mouse scary.

3) why can the dude singing only move one side of his mouth?

4) why does the drummer have no top on? it is not nice.

5) why is the guitarist in grey half-moonwalking early on?

6) I'm only here listening to this because I just finished watching Dog Soldiers and thought the tune they whistled was brilliant.

7) why am I counting?

[mrspivvy]

god this takes me back. ford cortinas on every street corner and ice cream cones for 10p

@ballynafeighbluedog A computer literate Blueman ?

@gahctep Firebird wine if you please.I will leave the glue for you lot.Its all you can afford this weather.

[gahctep]

@ballynafeighbluedog Firebird ? a conniseur indeed!

No doubt the current wine of choice for Bluemen

in recognition of their new upwardly mobile status

following the teams recent state sponsorship

by the Linfield football Association...sorry Irish

football Association and President Kennedy.

{ where is Lee Harvey Oswald when you

really need him} Yes its glue for us for

the foreseeable future !

[ballynafeighbluedog]

GREAT SONG..VEREY NICE

[yallop9]

How many great reminisences has that witless jerk Wright ruined as he introduces these clips? What made them think Totp 2 needed his pointless contribution? Quite liked him in the early eighties then he became a smug typical Thatcher era berk.

[RicardosRealm]

Spot-on yallop9. Wright is a grade one tosspot - the worst type of wanker DJ that thinks records are always improved by him singing tunelessly over the top of them. Why is this prat still in a job?

[TheBillfer]

@yallop9 spot on with that pal

[MrBaggy69]

@yallop9 wright was semi-ok on bbc radio one then tried being all kenny everitt which has we all know :- is nigh on impossable has he was one of a kind( kenny not steve) but he is still a grade A twat (imho)

[spursvern]

no steve wright has more talent in his bottom lip than you all have put together, jealousy is a terrible thing.

[zvictorone]

is steve wright a twat? answers on a postcard please.

Great song.

I remember doing my best rudeboy dance to that back in the disco in 1980!!

[lolog3th]

they play this at wigan matches

[heffergothiclord]

this is a great song

[Whistlechops]

Cool song, pity this is from TOTP2. Steve Wright destroyed old songs I love with wanky commercial radio "talk over the intro" bollocks and managed to assult my senses twice by adding retarded little pointless boring scrolling Smash Hits type dreck along the bottom. Thanks for the upload anyway. And thanks Steve Wright, I hope you get cancer in your rectum and die in agony you horrid little scrote.

[plinth4291]

The useless cunt does that on his radio show as well, and laughs at his own 'jokes'. As you say makes TOTP2 wank. Hope it spreads from his rectum and into his brain

[spooksixsix]

i take it your not a fan of his then? i read in mag that he's known as a "circle jerk", sums him up; a tosser! over rated, over paid and over aired, not to mention over the fucking hill.

[Jehudson57]

The drummer is my uncle he was 18 in this video

[sketchyfolk]

madness copied these guys..

[MADNESSRULE2K8]

How

[ParkeAbandono]

Madness Copy.

[illhaveadouble]

The Piranhas were around before Madness were still even The North London Invaders. Just because you have heard of Madness, it doesnt mean they were first. In fact it may have been that Lee and others spent a lot of time in Brighton in those days that they heard and enjoyed the Piranhas style, and therefore incorporated into their own music....

[Galericulus]

Madness didn't even have to travel to Brighton to see the Piranhas - they had a residency in Guildford, where I saw them every week from late 1978 for 15 months. Very talented and deserved far greater success than they achieved. Dick, incidentally was an exceptionally good drummer, and always played stripped to the waist. If I knew how to upload them, I have all seven of their singles, as well as the album, and a poor quality tape recorded live, with their permission.

[illhaveadouble]

And a 18 month residency at the Alhambra in Brighton before that. The chaps from the then North London Invaders and later Madness visited Brighton quite a lot in those days. if you are interested Bob Grover is still playing, writing and recording. He and his band will be at Glastonwick in June, just google it for details.

Peace.

[Galericulus]

Very interesting. Thanks for the info. What news of John Helmer (Johnny Piranha) and their superb but underrated bassist Reginald Frederic Hornsbury?

[playgirlc]

that's crap - because someone sings in a london accent that equates them to madness? madness' main influences were ska, rocknroll and ian dury - amongst others - and you can hear this in their work. as much as i hate madness these days, lee in particular is an excellent songwriter.

[illhaveadouble]

@playgirlc I wasnt equating the Piranhas with Madness, that comment was a reply to someone who commented they were just copying Madness. The content of my reply was absolutely true. The Piranhas WERE around before Madness, and indeed The North London Invaders, and Lee and the boys DID spend a lot of time in Brighton in those days. And Bob doesnt sing in a London accent, he's born, bred and still lives in Brighton.

[Minttzz]

The drummer is now a painter and decorator in and arounf Brighton. He painted out windows. LOL

[johnbombsmith]

Do you write in the dark ,or is it a case of you can't spell?Great song,whats wrong with being a P&D lastly can you play the drums?

[Minttzz]

Wow you're chewing me out for hitting the "f" key instead of "d"? Did I say that there was anything wrong in being a painter and decorator? Richard is a really nice bloke and did a good job. Now FUCK OFF.

[Minttzz]

By the way, it should be "what's" not "whats" and spaces should follow punctuation marks like "?" and "," and not be missed or precede them.
