Sham 69 - Questions And Answers (TOTP)

[RWVYT]

Shagje year was this?

[toydolls1979]

it is fucking amazing

[deeder2000]

JP was Sham 69, how can they be the same band without him?! He is a total original, it'd be like the Sex Pistols or the Clash without their main man. No point!

[EVERYVERSER]

this is TOTP, Which means this is pre-recorded.

[posuerbuster]

Top Choice! I wonder what that bleeder Giggles would think of this?

[giggie]

dave is the only good thing in the band .

[posuerbuster]

@giggie You mean that sod who went heavy metal? This is Top Of The Pops mate not some WFMU

[posuerbuster]

@giggie That Jimmy Pursey ya silly git not WLIR

[deeder2000]

Probably the best street punk band ever! The main man had charisma - you can't take your eyes off him. And excellent lyrics.Total respect to him! How can the band carry on without him. It's him or nothing! Can you imagine the Sex Pistols without John Lydon or the Clash without Joe Strummer. No way!

[waynedaly100]

lol,what a hair cut,wanker

[waynedaly100]

ha ha,pursey went on his snot during the guitar solo,what a poser dick head

[shaftsbury94]

PHONEY PURSEY.

[drillbitch]

I'd forgotten how cringeworthy Pursey was, I always felt a bit sorry for the rest of the band having to put up with that mockney mouth running away at the front of the band.

[toydolls1979]

punks and skins unite and win

[pineconeface]

[1927crew]

best band ever jimmy is your leader sham army

[richardmarkwood]

Great memories!

Coming home from school, to find my mum vacuuming my bedroom whilst playing this on my record player full blast!

[theonlytruepunk]

Are you serious??? Sounds like you have an incredible mum. My mum kicked me out of the house when I was 16 for singing "I'm so bored with the USA"..by the Clash...

[richardmarkwood]

Aaah, my mum is exceptional! She is totally in tune with all music. I've taken her to see Shirley Bassey in Blackpool and she took me to see the Sex Pistols in Huddersfield! The Clash happen to be her favourite band!

[theonlytruepunk]

That is the coolest. I wish my mom would have been that way. The Clash were the greatest!

[ANWL]

Laughed my arse off at Pursey falling down half way thru that. Pity he's sold out, sold his soul and that of all his punk fans by selliing the rights to the Labour Party for their conference allowing them to use the song If The Kids Are United, and even changed the words to include Blair and Brown when he sang it on newsnight, Uggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh !
