I bet they even sit on the toilet the wrong way round , and only fancy girls that have testicles .damn and blast their stupid shit song , I just hope that next summer , that they all get beaten up by zippy from rainbow , and fall into a hornet infgested patch of stinging nettles .... The twatts

[mrbasslo]

@basingstoke63 erm thanks mate - and what do you do for a living  are you a professional Twat >?

[PM1970]

@stuartvthomas I'd say, more like Frank Butcher lol

[stealth74]

lmao :)

[GrezH]

"Almost totally without action, atmosphere or festivity..." Almost as exciting as a Steve Wright programme, then! ;-)

[strawsmoot]

"The Hokey Cokey is reputed to date back to the C17th, making it even older than some of Steves jokes"

LOL

[MOJUL68]

I bought this!!!

[conformistkiller666]

this sounds like my old teacher singing!

[athull08]

Is this deliberately bad, or just a failure?

[flemwad]

Steve wright calling something 'scary and lame' hahahahahha POT KETTLE BLACK

[garygodsqwad]

@flemwad

Steve wrights a plonker...never liked him !

[PanzerDivisionLaver]

[mlikneda41]

see all the people actually having fun there in the crowd, would you see that nowadays if theyre all sober? lol

[seventiesclassic]

I don't usually agree with steve wright..but this is....LAME .

[fordey39]

Oh My! I was in the video for this song, and sang on the other side of the single. I think it was called Christmas is Coming? (Too long ago... I was only 11). Hey Nigel, wasn't the lead Snowman and vocalist Martin Kershaw? Stupid song, but a lot of happy memories.

[flamehairedfemme]

OH! I just stumbled on a rubbish classic, but fond memories of Christmas past!

[MrCentrillion]

Uncle Ian! It HAS to be Uncle Ian!!

[tygress1uk]

LMFAO Nigel Dick if your the Snowmen on the right, all i can say is you poor guy, I just sat there rolling with laughter at how slow you were and out of time, Legendary :D

[divinitynoir]

Scary and lame! ha haha

I like this version of the song though, its fun:)

[Foloman1]

The costumes are CRAP! A 7 year old could do better with a needle and thread!

[nigeldick]

Ian Dury had nothing to do with it. How can I be so sure? Two reasons: 1) I was, at the time, the press officer / PR for both Ian Dury AND The Snowmen and 2) I am the Snowman on the far right - the terrible one who can't do the dance.

Yours sincerely, Nigel Dick (ex Snowmen - 1 performance on TOTP)

[SamManUtd]

gotta love ian dury :)

[MADALANMAC]

Maybe. Maybe not.

And a merry Christmas to you too! lol

[MADALANMAC]

Incidentally, 'taig', should actually be spelt 'tague', as it comes from the age old argument over the surname Montague. Brits pronounced it Mont-a-gue, whereas the Irish pronounced it Mon-taigh. And you didn't even get the boggy spelling correct, that's 'taigh', my ignorant little blue nose hating buddy'.

Please try to keep this intellectual feast accurate, informative, correctly spelt and punctuated. lol

One Scotland. Many cultures. No place for the indigenous population.

[MADALANMAC]

Shouldn't you be reading through the 1700's hit parade looking for something else to complain about? Or dreaming up the next big anti-Celtic conspiracy?

Away back to your desk at The Sun and give us peace.

[MADALANMAC]

They'll probably ban Simply the Best next as George was from N. Ireland.

The perverse part of this is that before they started all this nonsense I had nothing bad to say about catholics. Now? They're a complete shower of childish, bigoted, fantasists who really need to look in the mirror before calling names.

Soon be illegal to wear blue and not attend mass.

I'm starting to hate Scotland with a passion. Why not? It hates me, my family and anyone else even loosely connected to Rangers.

[antifascotland]

That's because Rangers fans are bigoted, racist, fat bitter morons who embarrass Scotland with their ' behaviour'. Scotland's Shame.

'All Rangers fans are scum'.

what happened to ' no-one likes us we don't care'?

uefa cup final, what a great day.

[BigjockGnu]

i thought scotlands shame was the parkheid pedos and arhbishop coverup

[MADALANMAC]

The plot thickens -

The Snowmen was of course the wonderful Ian Dury (RIP).

Ian's father was from a Southern Irish, protestant family.

When Ian played his last gig in Glasgow, he changed a line in "Mash It Up Harry" from 'We're on our way to Wembley", to "We're on our way to Ibrox".

Shit it must be true then? lol

And I hope the cardinal chokes on Matheson's sausage this Christmas. fnarr, fnarr! lol

[glasgowpaws69]

snowmen are bigots in scotland now, lol

Bigoted against west of scotland roman catholics

must be because they have orange noses ;)

i hope cardinal o'brien eats the yellow snow

[stu3para]

Didn't know the Snowmen had a vile hatred for everything to do with Catholism? Well atleast thats how SNP would see it, especially that clown (mentioned below) Matheson!

[1tonan]

scotlands a joke now, all because they want as many excuses as possible to shaft the rangers fans , political correctness gone mad!!!!

[antifascotland]

eh maybe because rangers fans and their pathetic bigotry are so tedious that everyone in Scotland's sick of them? big, fat, stupid, toothless bigots whose only 'joy' they have in life is hating ' taigs'. one scotland, many cultures, no place for knuckle dragging hun bassas.

[1tonan]

your just a prick mate , get it right up ye ,

[Glasgowprince]

Yep, because SNP MSP Michael Matheson has said this is sectarian, you can now be arrested under the charge of "incitement to racial and religious hatred" if you sing the Hokey Cokey in Scotland.

You couldnt make this crap up. All from the best wee country, Big Alex and the Suntanman.

[youngy1873]

in SCOTLAND this is now seen as a bigoted song, you couldn't make it up.

[alanlovedog]

for some reason, in america they call this the hokey pokey - which sounds kind of rude

[Markjuk]

I'm sure this clip will be repeated once again on this years TOTP2 Xmas special.

[RetroCool73]

Gotta be due a re-release

[Emmamoo]

Wooooo my 3 year old makes me do this all the time its getting embarrassing, esp when you're in sainsburys at the time

[newshoessmile]

Wanted to see this again for years...

[Nightwatchersgirl]

Very funny
