  • When I watch this I cannot believe Tony Hawks was my step brother.

  • 1:22 - is that bloke playing the mini guitar in the background in the group too??

  • It's only a Parody of the Beastie Boys, Don't overthink it guys.

    It's a Parody of them; Nothing more, nothing Less.

  • Top comment says they are making fun of the way black rappers dress, its actually a very obvious parody of the Beastie Boys! I used to play this song to death when I was 12 years old, Loved it then and I love it now! :)

  • i actually just love the vinyl record being scratched in the gutter

  • Sure wish I could watch a video without having to see some old moany dickhead complaining about how awful kids are today.

  • this was a favourite of mine when I was about 12..... still love it.

  • "...I am down and out, and I'm down on my luck

    And I'm livin' on my own and I'm dying for a F-

    Friend to say "You're great!..."

    ;D

  • rubbin' record on gutter cover is funniest.......lmFao

  • This song only reached No. 4 in the UK, 2 in Australia and 14 in Canada. Clearly it failed. LOL!!!! Pretty good going for the 80s. A lot of musical talents struggled to get to number 1 and who can forget Ultravox's Vienna only reaching No. 2.

    Tony Hawks is seriously underrated!! Mr. fifth Dwarfer himself!!

  • @TheHev76 Hell yeah.  Tony Hawks is brilliant.

  • from the age of n n n n n n n n thirteen

  • @fireblast557

    I was just about to leave the exact same comment. I've had that particular lyric in my head for ages! I love this song!

  • Loved the Morris Minors series in the 80s!! Love this!!

  • 2:33 swackin' beastie boys

  • this really cool Austrailian dude sung this at our school's talent show. this song+Australian accent+deep voice=should have won.

  • That was f-f-f-f-funny!

  • 1:58 Something must be wrong with your - vocal - technique - when the twelve inch mix goes on for a week!

    All modern music can be parodied, but rap particularly - it so often takes itself far too seriously. Who would have thought that this hilarious classic would still be relevant in 2011?

    PS love the original Morris Minor convertible!

    2:50 NO SLEEP TILL BEDTIME! lol tolhurst

  • thts kinda funny

  • Shows something- I used to see this video every week on music shows and never wondered why the mother was black and the boys were white?

  • Good god

  • Still amusing & catchy =)

  • kerappppppppppppppppppppppp

  • The beastie boys suck

  • Randomly unpredictable lol

  • This was huge in Australia. Except our version had some weird opera sorta thing instead of the Neighbours theme.

  • come on man!

    

  • 2:40 JOHN DEACON!!!!!!

  • Lmao I got here through grumpy old men with Tony Hawks :) I have a stutter ironically, it has pretty much fucked up a lot for me but who gives a shit haha. This is fucking hilarious, I will say from a stutterer, this can be taken very offensively so don't have a got at the people on here who do take it the wrong way as everyone has their ways of dealing with things, but I personally just see it as a funny thing and it has actually r rrr ree rrrrrrrrrRR REDUCED it a lot. Great tune :)

  • Tony Hawks is now a writer and wrote a book about taking a fridge freezer around Ireland (or something).

  • I'm guessing these guys are Australian.

  • @karatebuff they are from England. this was from 1987. it got to number 7 as far as I know. It was making fun of The Beastie Boys (hence why they say "toastie boys" nears the end of the song.

    It features Tony Hawkes in the black tracksuit

  • @karatebuff Fu-fu-fu-ccccking ha ha ha n-n-n-no they are English.

  • Can't believe this song was popular back in 1988. Its a shitty song with no rhythm whatsoever. Just 3 idiots screaming out of tune.

  • @GavinJ37

    much the same as todays shit then

  • @GavinJ37 I know what you mean it's just like rap is now.

  • brilliant...

  • bed time boys! OH MUM

  • I Stutter and I love This Song, Its probably the only stutter song on here that portrays stuttering as it is, not because u see a girl and u cant just talk properly. I Wish I was allowed to go to bed when i n n n n thirteen lol

  • "Well, there was one good take, but a pigeon flew in front of the camera"

    "Ah, just leave it in, no one will notice"

  • "bit harsh isn't it?" lol

  • BEST SONG EVER!! it is my ringtone(:

  • I thought this song was so funny when it came out. It wasn't until now I ever saw the video... I love that part about "gonna chick a bottle; gonna chuck a can; Chaka

    Khan, Chaka Khan..."

  • i hate this i stutter and it aint funny at all

  • @121yoyoyo1 Harden the fuck up.

  • @121yoyoyo1 I'm left-handed, and I don't melt down when someone says "left-handed compliment".. I also have allergies, but I still think it's amusing when people sneeze as a joke on TV... ("They're making fun of 'people of allergies and are abrogating my civil rights'" just sounds kind of silly.)

  • great song,rusty always looks like he's ready to bust out laughing.

  • i loved this song nobody ever remembered it BUT NOW IT HAS OVER 375,000 views

    YAY! I AM NOT ALONE!

  • 1:03 = LOL

  • I love the looks of disgust from the people in the background.

  • i had this on vinyl

  • Pause at 1:04...so frickin' hilarious!

  • woah,this was out in1988..not long after i met my girlfriend,we was together from 1987 to 2007..we used to listen to this and i think terrence trent d'arby-sign your name..man has it gone that fast already ? now i'm 41 and nearly dead..

  • Who knew that this video made in 1988 would be a premonition of what wiggers would look like in 10 years or more. But this is just 3 white guys making fun of American rap and the way black rappers dressed. But they still dress like this 23 years later and the wiggers act like rap is some new fad. But it's hardly even changed over the past 2 decades. But anyone from the 80's watching this would think these 3 guys look like retards, but now the world is plagued with retards like this.

  • @slapstickaction This is sad

  • @slapstickaction dead right lmao

  • @slapstickaction not american rap, here is an idea, check out Beastie Boys "No sleep till Brooklyn". Dumbass

  • @ireidpwnerofn00bs I'm guessing your a wigger? Because only a wigger would get defensive over that lol. Sounds to me like your the dumbass and a noob yourself. YouNuber!!

  • @slapstickaction Nah. This wasn't white guys making fun of black rappers. This was a direct parody of the Beastie Boys who were white, rappers and world famous.

  • @slapstickaction i can tell you dont really know what your talking about

  • @slapstickaction twat

    

  • It's a piss take of the Beasties, even though the Beasties were a semi parody themselves at the time(If wearing WV logos on a toilet chain when other rappers were wearing Mercedes Benz logos on gold ropes doesn't smack of "white boys getting it wrong" self mocking I don't know what does) most the jokes here they did on their own record (scratching the neighbors theme isn't light years away from scratching Mister Ed theme on their own record) parodies of parodies rarely work this was no exception

  • @slapstickaction It's just a Beastie Boys parody dude, calm down...

  • just clicked it cause i read "round ireland with a fridge"

  • I absolutly loved this song as a kid and now its just a rude awakening of a lost childhood.

  • look in the description this was but an English Group called Morris Minor & The Majors

  • This is now one of my favourite rap tunes. Makes me laugh and sounds great.

  • Love this! I've been trying to find this for ages!

    "It's tough, tough! It's tougher that tough!

    It's worse than Benny Hill - and that's bad enough!"

    Genius.

  • lonely island?

  • I still remember this as I use to play it over and over again. It actually holds up fairly well to the "Licence to Ill" Beastie Boys. I had the extended remix version too which was funny for the time!

  • LMAO SMH!!!!!!

  • humo !

  • The guy in Black is Tony Hawks, who played the voice of the food machines in series 1 of Red Dwarf, and the Waiter/Compere in Series 2: Better Than Life.

  • @lugnut1976 The guy in Black is Tony Hawks, who played the voice of the food machines in series ! of Red Dwarf, and the Waiter/Compere in Series 2: Better Than Life.

  • the guy in blue is Cryton from red dwarf

  • @seanieisere

    No it isn't, Cryton is played by Robert Llewellyn who does scrap heap challange etc, that's not him.

  • Love the random people in the background, just poking round. As you do...

  • Great song, I wasn't expecting this sorta video though

  • Poor mom. Just couldn't get those kids to bed.

  • This is awesome.

  • @87jaydubya and that's why your an uneducated retard now?

  • @slapstickaction If YOU'RE going to accuse someone of being a retard, check YOUR spelling! ;-)

  • @drdawn86 Like I said, I was just correcting your mistakes.

  • @drdawn86 The fact remains, you said no rappers were talking about "the hood" in the '80s, when they were. You also said rappers weren't wearing baggy pants until the late '90s, when they quite clearly were. So what if Kriss Kross were kids? I only mentioned them because they were in the charts. I could name plenty of underground groups who were wearing them in the early '90s.

  • They shot John...He's so sexy in this viiid. I have the world's largest crush on him though...

  • @drdawn86 Firstly, sagging pants started emerging in Hip hop videos about 20 years ago (remember Kriss Kross in '92?) Secondly, "Ghetto Rap" started in '82 with 'The Message', by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five'.

  • Huge hit in the 80's. I remember listening to it on the radio. Damn, I'm old.

  • Better than most crap that's released today !

  • @TRB1946 So true.

    ♥

  • my dad tuok it me

  • That guitar solo around 2:40 still makes me giggle like an idiot, even after 20 years. Now *that's* power ...

  • @spankrod

    And its Kerry King of Slayer who did the original for Beatie Boys, No Sleep til Brooklyn

  • absolute classic.....we had a boy at school called `stanyard` and he had a stutter....we used to sing to him `so join with us and do the s...s...s....s....s....s....s.­.. stanyard rap`.......class....bought back some great memories

  • @dazza2106 r u xxxx serious this is a physical handicap .....i bet u must laugh yer balls of when u see a deaf or blind person.......

  • @GWMI06 no i dont laugh at anyone with a physical handicap,deaf,dumb or blind....i was telling the story from when i was 11 and imature.....wish i kept my fuckin mouth shut now....jjeeeezz

  • @dazza2106 Brought back memories of you being a prick? I bet you're the sort of person that sits around reminiscing about beating up grannies and stealing their handbags.

  • @bongo155 well your granny wasn`t laugthing when i was double fisting her

  • @dazza2106 My granny is 90. You're 38. I think she was happy she was getting some. You on the other hand walked away with the "pleasure" of fucking a 90 year old woman. I know who came out best out of that.

  • @dazza2106 That's horrible. really. I'm only 14 and I know that's horrible.

  • I loved this song at school! So funny! Thankyou for posting it!

  • @MrGuitarPrayer It is! He met The guys on a plane and joked 'if you ever release a song I'll be in your video' and here he is :) It's in the Queen book I think.

  • @MrGuitarPrayer Could be but John eacon is a BASS player not Lead Guitarist. but He could be major talented, Like Charlie Benante, Drummer with ANTHRAX but Lead Guitarist on S.O.D. (Stormtroopers Of Death) Speak english or Die album ;) This Rap tho is EPIC ;)
