[SPITROASTURMUM]

Raging ladyboner

[alternaberries]

Lovely and hilarious - two separate virtues at exactly the same time!

[philbobedwards]

[MegaGreenchair]

This is really moving AND really funny at the same time! Quite an achievement!!!

[artofpoetry]

Ah, move over Willy Russell. Blood Brothers has nothing on this video!

[Harbottle64]

Brilliant!

Even better than the original ;o)

[clivetbro1]

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT and Her

[SweatyDogPoo]

Anachronisms:

1.The car outside of the house if an obvious one.

2. 0:08 There is a no smoking sign in the window. The smoking ban is fairly recent

3. 1:15 The Daily Mail has an ad for a 'FREE DVD' im assuming there were no DVD's back then

[gbarnsley]

Really well done! Loved it, great take on the original... Would love to see more of your songs put to video in this way.

[CAVERN1234]

you missed the upvc windows and doors

and the cable box on the wall at 1.14

[darrencarlin]

[weejasper]

that was wonderfull.. lot of hard work went in to that.. I started of thinking like the last person but unlike him I appreciate all the work which went into you're wee production.. very artistic indeed..

[riggers72]

[justthelad]

[paulbmusic]

What a load of rubbish. You must have some good you tube friends to write such ridiculous comments. Irony or not this is terrible.

[sorr3nto]

I thought that was fantastic

[vilepatsy]

Love it! First time I have seen these guys and now hooked at flicking through the vids. U gonna come over to Australia?!!

[PeaceBirchwood]

[LadyFitzFrisky]

Frisky and Mannish (the guys in the vid) are playing a live show in London at The Leicester Square Theatre on Sunday March 8th, 7.30pm. You can book on 0844 847 2475 or see the LSqT's website or F&M's own website for more info.

Love to all for the brilliant array of comments. Fx

[degsy111]

brilliant. very profesional editing.

one of the best vids of its kind i've seen on here

[airmattresshobo]

This is pretty neat. Voice is great.

Being transgender isn't a choice. :x p.s.

[galgappa]

Thank you. And being a 46 year old heterosexual (mostly!) male isn't either, but what is your point?

:xx

[dannylampkin]

You made this your own..its really good ,i like it..

is that scouse i can hear..where am from ..

Peace

Danny

[galgappa]

Absolutely brilliant!

Well done!

And for our cousins across the water,

This is what we Brits call IRONY!

The film uses a rhetorical form and the juxtaposition of the modern/ageless dilemma of entrapment and escapism, to show the absurdity and paradoxical nature of reality!

The limited use of colour [that's color, for the non-English speakers!] challenges the viewer to date the film!

Double glazing and ford fiestas were not common place in 1950's Britain!

(And that's SARCASM, not irony!)

[Letts84]

Yes I agree. I would also add that the detournement of pop culture cliches and their recuperation into a meaningful system of incongruous incongruity marks the exhaustion of nonsensical postmodern bricolage of cultural forms (and engages intersemiotic correspondance between the 'running' and 'sweeping' motifs). This video single handedly marks the end of the postmodern epoch and opens the foor for the altermodern. And it's gay.

[shrimpythebodyguard2]

Why so condescending?

[serpentos]

I like this for some strange reason!!!

[AwesomeSecretChannel]

Very original, great stuff :)

Danny

[Sillacks]

[GAFFTV]

A pile of gay? Hah that's awesome I'm using that!!!

[Pipweed]

another pile of gay for the homos out there...

[jelissagoat]

Just a reminder that homophobia is a crime in this country and if i see any more homophobic comments from you i will be contacting the police LGBT team and the youtube administrators. You may think you are big and clever but infact you are a pathetic 16 year old who should keep your silly comments to yourself.

[Pipweed]

what teh fucks the lgbt team the and how can homophobia be a crime if i say to some weak person YOURE GAY that aint a crime... its just speaking your mind

[gazeris]

[easternbloke]

[MakeoverSessions]

Wow, that was something. Thanks for sharing.

[onedogdad]

Beautifully done - thank you for giving a song I loved as a teenager a whole new meaning

[cass5455]

Fabulous. I just adored this. Well done .

[easternbloke]

Great. Just one thing the plastic door isn't in the same time period as the 1950' s clothes

[ACorkster]

Well, the slightly-anachronistic car parked outside the house probably gives it away more. :-)

We had a shot where Frisky brushed the car, but it didn't make the final cut.

[kazza6601]

Whaddya mean 50's clothes....Frisky borrowed them from me...!! Maybe I need to rethink my wardrobe!!

[redqueen17]

Awesome! Congratulations on getting a featured video! So cool :)

Hope to catch you next time you're back in Manchester.

[DrKincade]

I'd say "Geno" was No.1 by Dexy's and then for No.2 my choice would have to be the wonderful, "There There My Dear".

:-)

[BobbyBorg26]

This is proof that youtube features anything these days, what a lame video.

[dananddanfilms]

Apart from my video, obviously, which was featured just before this.

Actually, I think I remember you. You left a narky comment.

I deleted it, because I am a fascist who does not tolerate any criticism of my work.

[BobbyBorg26]

And I care because?????????????????????

[dananddanfilms]

Because you have nothing better to do.

[BobbyBorg26]

So you care that I have nothing better to do? LOL!
