  • LOVLEY DAYS 77/78  RIP POLY NOW KILL THE CUNTS

  • RIP Poly...I love you!

  • still a great song after all the years....brings back some great memories.. :)

  • I was 14!!! Now 47!! Lol!! :D

  • @iripirri i was -24 :)

  • Sad to hear Polly died , she was at the forefont of Punk back then , Happy days Jumping about with your Mates

  • @BloodyRose3000 Redondo Beach*

  • I think it's tragic that anyone should die young.

    What disturbs me most is it appears that the great media machine seems more interested in the revenue it will accrue from the publicity than the death.

  • awesome

  • Kind of reminds me of Patti Smith's Renaldo Beach

  • why the hell is it that when ever i discover a kool band i later findout that 1 of the bandmate is dead (what the fuck) =(

  • @samruiz0000 you`re cursed lol

  • what a voice. If good was real(which i think not) he wouldn't take such a voice from us.

  • New York- started it all, most of these bands were more artisticaly inclined

    London- perfected the New York punk. More of a Political working class movement

    L.A- took the attitude of the London scene and made it louder, faster and angrier

    that's the great thing about the various punk scenes, they all were inspiered by each other

  • @DylanHouseShow Detroit had the original punks, MC5 and The Stooges...

  • @MrMonsterstiffy Your right, but then again that just opens the whole catagory of Proto-Punk

  • Television, Blondie, and the Ramones were the beginning of punk rock.

  • 3 people are dirty!

  • @SuperVimfuego i don't think so ol' chap. LA is too hard, too furious and there are many of us. you brits can go pogo your little hearts out. it's real cute btw. but better ya leave the real hardcore stuff to us here in California. pip pip cheerio!

    On another note, RIP Poly... you were truly great and you will be missed.

  • my first ever album i bought age 13 in probe records Liverpool ,

    still sounds as good much love xx

  • its common knowledge that the british are far superior at making music than any other people anywhere else on the planet.

  • Poly Styrene will be remembered always and forever by all germ free adolescents.

  • maybe she achieved Nirvana

  • first sid vicious then lux interior from the cramps and then joe strummer and now polly why cant the world stop taking good musicians from us and just FUCKING kill justin bieber

  • well said who the the hell is next?

  • well said who the the hell is next? [R.I .P polly]

  • @yanni1000000 dont forget ari up, that was only last month

    

  • @yanni1000000 Joe Strummer died before Lux you fucking idiot.

  • @MrMonsterstiffy look it was a mistake and if your not happy well go fuck yourself, its ignorant nazis like you who who ruin evereything for the rest of us.

    now fuck off and go troll somewhere else

  • @MrMonsterstiffy is that all you do with your life be an asshole assuming of course you've moved out of your moms basement

  • @yanni1000000 Sid was no musician...he just tagged along!

  • @MagentaHeed i completely agree but also you have to take into consideration his entourage nancy spungen and Malcolm Maclaren played a great part in destroying life by giving him drugs and making him show off also Nancy was the one who introduced him to heroin therefore maybe if he had never met her things would have been different just a thought but your constructive criticism is greatly appreciated its better than all these trolls

  • @yanni1000000 Yes agree with what you say, unfortunatley Sid was manufactured from the likes of MM, and Spungen was the the making of his death..and the 'trolls' ain't got a clue! lol Lurkers???

  • @yanni1000000 Because Justin Bieber is just a kid and he's never done anyone any harm. As much as those musicians will be missed, they died knowing they'd had long and successful careers in the music business.

    I swear to god if people are still mentioning Bieber in every Youtube comment this time next year, I'll lose my fucking mind.

  • @yanni1000000 as much as I miss Lux, he was old. Still not old enough to die but still, it just happens.

  • @yanni1000000 you forgot Joey, Johnny and DeeDee Ramone.

  • @TheSix4Impala i know but if i had mentioned everything i would have made the comment too long

  • @yanni1000000 ahh, true that.

  • @yanni1000000 Uh, Sid Vicious, a good musician? Your

    right though. Poly was great. RIP

  • loved the break in her voice, thanx for the brilliance Poly x

  • r.i.p Poly Styrene April 25 2011

  • I'm English and I like English punk and American punk. It's all good and this is a good song x

  • I love these song!!!!

  • I'm confused about the "S.R. way" part. What is SR?

  • @marshmellowmeltedass British toothpaste.

  • @marshmellowmeltedass

    If im not mistaken, I beleive the S.R. = is socially right

  • @justant999 *"The SR way!" is the Gibbs S(odium) R(icinoleate) toothpaste propaganda.

    watch?v=YSSpugVNQD4

  • If the germs don't kill you, the toxins certainly will!

  • NIGADEMUS-SHUT UP

  • Unequivocal, Punk started in America, New York sneezes, London catches a cold! The New York Dolls managed by the late, great Malcolm Mclaren by example. You can’t take anything away from Americans except their guns! Preferably from their cold, dead fingers!!! Gawdbless ;)

  • love this....

  • Great

  • you cant invent something that has been there since time began ,you can call it by a different name and claim you got there first or found it first but bull shit is after all bull shit have a nice day im off to discover london flag in hand and all

  • americans invented "LA Scene", britons invented "punk rock", they're similar but weren't the same until it started to blend together. long story short what does it even fucking matter, bands from both sides of the atlantic made awesome music, stop waving your cocks around like a bunch of fucking idiots

  • @danobaka LA Punk is the titties. no one did it better.

  • @jjtheuntitled1 LA junk wasn't fit to lick the sweat from a dead dogs balls compared to the might, inspiration and globe changing raw power that was the British punk scene. Incidentally the LA punk scene was the mutts nuts, but whats right is right I'm afraid. Sorry old bean haha

  • @danobaka spoken like a 14 year old. Mc5, Ramones,Dictators,Stooges,Deat­h, Voivoids, Ny dolls,deadboys ect ect. The english kids came up with fashion trends and being called "punk" which means being gay in prison. The music started in DETROIT by the Mc5, the Stooges and Death then was refined by the Ramones who took it to England.i'm not knocking the english bands but credit deserves to go where credit is due.

  • Comment removed

  • @danobaka umm have you heard of the ramones, the theoretical girls, teenage jesus and the jerks, and the dead boys from New York? They were actually formed a year before the sex pistols. I think both new york and England, and the constant travel of the people between the two places really formed the scene in general.

  • @Glowb0t mmmm dead boys

  • @danobaka americans "invented" punk. punk came to the UK via The Ramones' extensive touring and Malcolm McLaren literally stealing Richard Hell's look to foist upon the Sex Pistols. i understand your sentiment, but please give credit where credit is due.

  • I just signed up to this to say one thing - Punk rock really started in the UK ! for fucks sake .....not with standing the pre coursers iggy and the stooges.

    The Dead Kennedy's were fantastic and Richard Hell was part of the the avant guard but without the pistols, the damned and the Clash and bands like x ray spex there would have not been any real "punk rock" scene.

  • Why can't we work out our differences? Why can't we work things out? Little people, why can't we all just... get along?

  • @imneatneatneat Wow you and your little limey buddy have had some great exchanges but after reading all of that tripe you two have posted much more from you i must add, i don't remmember him being snotty?

    All i can see is him dangling a carrot and you went for it. There's only one way to settle this..........................­....FIGHT.............ha ha

  • Glad to see so many of you got the point of what punk was all about.

  • @imneatneatneat I don't sleep with men. I sleep with dead chickens. Everyone here does. It's the national pass time. That and being silly masochistic bitch ass nuggahs. ha ha. And there's nothing wrong with smoking pot and jerking off, but it's better to smoke pot and have a woman do the jerking. Oh and I love the abuse! It gives me my kicks.

  • @imneatneatneat As 'Illhaveadouble' said, it's 'Time for you to put your dummy back in'!

  • @imneatneatneat Yes that's right, go smoke a blunt, wank yourself silly and abuse some people. I'm sure that's your life ambition. To be a stoned, abusive wanker. Well done ; )

  • OMG this song is amazing! just getting to know this folks, what have i been missing?!!

  • @imneatneatneat I wasn't trying to be witty and I wasn't trying to insult you. I'm making an observation. Oh and I'm not welsh. Never said I was. That's you wrongly assuming things again. You're right though, Britain isn't a race. So I suppose you're anti-British. Even if you know nothing about the place. Try to learn something about a subject and then you may able to hold a better argument, instead of using bad language to try to cover up the fact that you know nothing.

  • @imneatneatneat I actually read the posts to see what people were saying about the band and the lead singer, when I noticed you wrote, 'the only fucking reason Brits invented America was cause England is a miserable impoverished treeless grey shithole in the North Atlantic everyone who lives there scurries as far away from as quickly as possible'. It was obvious that you weren't really here to discuss music, you just have some infatuation with insulting Britain and British people.

  • POLLY STYRENE

  • @imneatneatneat I certainly got a rise out of you, didn't I? I couldn't have hoped for a better result. Thanks for entertaining me. You're a hoot!

  • @kingsamoflange I was bored and I figured that you were an arrogant, racist prick, so I’d write a brief note taking the piss out of you. The messages you’ve sent since then have proven that you are immature, hypocritical, abusive and very ignorant.

  • @imneatneatneat The Sex Pistols were a band I saw several times when I was young and I like a stroll down memory lane every now and then, but never held them up as anythng, never mentioned them. However, I will say swearing has lost it's shock value now, anyone can do it as the Pistols proved over 30 years ago when it was still shocking...

  • @imneatneatneat Could be wrong, but I dont think Ive even mentioned The Sex Pistols....

  • @imneatneatneat Time for you to put your dummy back in and remember that you may know what other people have said and written about punk and it's origins,but that's all you know.

  • /imneatneatneat appears angry and foul mouthed, typical yanky/rebel, shout first, think much later......

  • Now you're really showing you're ingnorance. You don't understand the world, outside of America. If I say that I'm based in the UK, what makes you think I'm English? Ever heard of Wales? By the way, I don't have anything to say about the punk scene. As far as I'm concerned, if you like it, who gives a shit? I saw your post and knew that you'd be good for a laugh. Thanks for the entertainment. You yanky fuck!!!

  • @kingsamoflange imneatneatneat sounds very young and couldnt possibly have any real idea of punk or it's origins or of the UK other than what he/she has read on wiki in the long lonely nights while their friends are having a life. I cant help but feel pity for a young person who is hankering after the life I lived in the mid 70's....

  • @illhaveadouble I agree. It's obvious from what 'imneatneatneat ' has written that he/she hasn't had enough life experience to be able to hold a proper argument without sounding like a petulant little child, having a tantrum.

  • Comment removed

  • @imneatneatneat Now you're showing you're true colours. Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups. You're arrogant mentality is stereotypical of america. This is probably why america has such a bad reputation. There are a lot of good people in the US, it's just that morons like yourself let the side down.

  • @imneatneatneat What makes you think i'm a limey? i know what you are. You're a moron, aren't you?

  • @imneatneatneat ''being able to type long messages in short lengths of time''

    My, you are a talented little scrotum aren't you.

  • John Lydon

  • punk is how ya feel not who done what,you stupid cuntgerm its a state of mind who gives a flying fuck type thingy

  • I almost love poly

  • Does it matter where punk originated?

    Great music is great music.

    I think the people who bother to argue about this don't care about the music. They just care about their own egos being stroked by winning an argument or being "right".

    Just shut up, turn up the volume, and enjoy.

  • @rwm1135 Punk rock originated in the Us? Sorry, but hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahah!

  • got it on lp dude you can have it,no offence i got no record player no more

  • Quality

  • @rwm1135 Someone doesn't know what a troll is. Also if any large words were witnessed in Elephants post then you must still be in grade school.

  • @rwm1135 The US STOLE the US.

    Pay attention.

    I don't give a toss about who invented what, when, where or how; I was being facetious (buy a dictionary).

    I thought it was funny.

  • @imneatneatneat And I agree with that x)...

  • @imneatneatneat You're saying I'M pissy ;P.... To be honest, I couldn't give a fuck who created punk, because that doesn't matter. What matters is the effect it had on both England and the USA.

  • the best. I did a cover of this song when I was 18, I smoked 30 fags to get the voice. I didn't get the voice, but I still had the best time singing it all day with my mate Marco on guitar.

  • This is ace, thanks for posting this. Well ahead of her time that one

  • @imneatneatneat Excuse me, but you seem to have far too much time on your hands ¬_¬...

  • @imneatneatneat

    On the contrary, I think you'll find that people flock TO Britain.

    Often to obtain a decent education.

    You have clearly never been here.

  • Tuneeeeeeeee

  • Just to keep a pointless argument going 'coz I'm bored, here is an all purpose comeback on self-obsessed ex-colonials.

    Even if the yanks did invent punk/rock & roll/cinema/anything at all, the British invented the USA, so go boil your bum !

    Copy that & paste it into any internet row you like, my gift to destroying world peace.

    Now you can all start arguing about who's idea it was to steal the country in the first place !

    .

    Thank you for sharing this & giving me the oppurtunity to shit stir x x x

  • @AnElephantsChild I'm pretty sure Punk had more of an effect in England anyway :\

  • @AnElephantsChild Love your facetious and spot-on remarks. But, Yanks DID invent Punk Rock. 2 words. Iggy/Stooges.

  • @nicademus666,

    Great, now we have Iggy on our TV in the UK, advertising car insurance.

  • @nicademus666 The Kinks: All day and all of the night & You really got me. 1964. Most recently, Ray Davies & Metallica. Hetfield himself credits The Kinks with the invention of punk rock. personally, I don't care who, but who are we to argue with James Hetfield?

  • @ruggalexander84 What the fuck does James Bloody Hetfield, or ANYONE in any heavy metal band for that matter, know about punk rock??! It's more than simple chord progression, its ATTITUDE. And "Girl I want to be with you..." does NOT cut it. I've gotta go with IGGY on this one.

  • @LeshaAnn I don't think you can seriously credit yourself with knowing more about rock n roll in any form than the leader of one of the most important bands in rock n roll history. And yes, The Kinks do fucking cut it.

  • @ruggalexander84 I don't know more about punk rock than Ray fucking Davies??! That's like saying your Christian minister knows everything about Judaism just 'cause he's "in the biz." Ridiculous.

  • @LeshaAnn This is pointless. Moron.

  • @ruggalexander84 I'M a moron?Q You're taking advice about punk rock from a member of Metallica, and I'M the moron??! hahaha ~ Blow me, doofus!

  • @AnElephantsChild fish and chips mate?

  • @AnElephantsChild And look, what's more, your ancestors just went along with anything because they were afraid... While Americans made our own way and did what we wanted without a Head Cunt In Charge. Us "yanks" must be genetically better, I guess. Sorry, limeys.

  • @GenoClown

    1) What makes you think my ancestors were British? 2) The British had an empire on which the sun never set, because they conquered so many lands. Most yanks don't even leave their own state. 3) Your own way was to run away, as far as you could go without having to coming back. 4) Like everywhere in the world you do have a 'Head Cunt In Charge', I believe you call him Mr President. 5) Go read your own welcome mat, genetically better? No, you are Stinking Refuse my friend.

    Ba-dum tish !

  • @AnElephantsChild Simply put, If they aren't, you don't have much place in talking and can gtfo, you foreigner. Lol. AWESOME. BRITS HAD A LOT OF LAND. CONGRATS. Never will they have ours and never will theirs be as good. As for running away, like I said, we were leaving. To make our own. 'Cause we're THAT fuckin' cool. Lol. No, no, no... He's Head Prick In Charge. Number 5 was explained. See above. Kthx McSpiffyteeth.

  • @AnElephantsChild I enjoy the arguments. Im into chaos you see, and have been for over 30 years.

  • @AnElephantsChild - totally agree - I just about remember X-ray Spex, but the Americans have this fantastic memory of becoming independent.....from little old England...must be extremely important for them.

  • @AnElephantsChild Too true. Unequivocal, Punk started in America, New York sneezes, London catches a cold! The New York Dolls managed by the late, great Malcolm Mclaren by example. You can’t take anything away from Americans except their guns! Preferably from their cold, dead fingers!!! Gawdbless ;)

  • @AnElephantsChild in response to "Even if the yanks did invent punk, the British invented the USA" HISTORY LESSON; 1492, Columbus sails to the Americas. 1775-1783 AMERICAN Revolutionary War, during which on July 4th 1776 the Declaration of Independence is signed, which announced that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were now independent states, and thus no longer a part of the British Empire. 1967, the Stooges are formed. 1975, the Sex Pistols are formed. case closed

  • @AnElephantsChild and if iggy was "smearing his bare chest with hamburger meat and peanut butter, cutting himself with shards of glass, and flashing his genitalia to the audience" and thats not punk rock, what is?

  • @AnElephantsChild Brits invented the Dole

    and we named a company after that too!

  • Great Band and Songs (Oh Bondage.., The Day..., Identity ..etc).

    Thank You So Much!

    Greetings From Dresden, Germany

  • Have a look at the version that 'GUGUG' do of this song..amazing

  • I know your antiseptic, your deodrant smells nice... LMAO XDXD

  • jarvis sent me here. great find!

  • what a load of spotty shit, i kin love it

  • I'm just gonna say "I like this song!"

    Because I do.

    I don't give a monkey's arse about punk, or the genre, or where it originated.

    It's good singing, lyrics and music : )

  • captainbimble - Why be an "every fucker" is that your dream? Pistols and Damned were crappy posers - Clash had a bit more going for them and then abandoned "punk." when it was becoming boring. Punk is dead and you pommies killed it with ur Sid and Malcom idiots etc..
