[EnglishStreet]

What absolute twaddle.

[jonamac]

[forthrontheevil]

They like that, the little girls

[wixy20071]

[AmpleWarning]

That hammond guy really has it in for that lump of tofu

[epsteinsmutha1]

"I think we should go outside. I feel unusual."

[gazzis]

You're drunk.

I assure you I'm not, officer. Honestly. I've only had a few ales.

[gazzis]

Monty you terrible cu*t!

[epsteinsmutha1]

You've been at the thermostat!

I haven't, Withnail.

THEN WHY HAS MY HEAD GONE NUMB?!!!?

We want the finest wines available to humanity. We want them HERE and we want them NOW.

[bjpitts]

There's one over there that doesn't...like...the perfume......a big one. Don't look... DON'T... look! We're in danger....we've got to get out.

[ALfaDuB101]

Trade, phenodihydrochrolide benzorex street, the embalmer.

[GONZZ100]

[drubrown]

Here hare, hare here

Shut that gate

[myopinion2]

WOW!! One of the best renditions ever! That is some horn playing!!

[JackStaplesButler]

I love you all for quoting Withnail! More, lavish us with more!

[TomthatiscalledTom]

@JackStaplesButler He's going into your room. It's YOU he wants...offer him yourself!

[dbdraught]

[saidenyaw]

essentially prosititutes to the Bees...

[saidenyaw]

NO

[DarklingStar1969]

FORK IT...!

[hswatnik]

sensational posting!

[gcallard]

This was the music and artist I chose to end the ceremony at my Father's funeral (although not this particular performance). It was the one live at Fillmore West.

It's a beautiful piece of music. King Curtis really was a star man.

[aidan408]

'i demand to have more booze!'

[mcgredmorry]

Scrubbers!



[cokovlado]

"i fuck arses." who fucks arses? maybe he fucks arses...

[thedoctorand]

They say that 13 million Londoners wake up to this.

[peepsieD]

i read elsewhere this was taped in 1971. quite a revelation to see and hear Jerry Jemmott throwing harmonics into his bass line. He was Jaco's hero on bass early on.

[R0b1zzle137]

Goosebumps, simply goosebumps.

[VincentBrooke1]

This song makes my heart beat like a fucked clock...

[IEatManure]

Ahhhhhhh!

I told you! You've been bittten!

Burnt! Burnt! The fucking kettle's on fire!

[chewbecca123]

These aren't accidents! They're THROWING themselves into the road gladly! THROWING themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness! Throw yourself into the road, darling! You haven't got a chance!

[westham4eva]

We've come on holiday by mistake, are you the farmer??

Stop saying that Withnail, of course he's the fucking farmer!

[TheBitterWeed]

Imagine the size of his balls...

[dangleberries77]

@TheBitterWeed

Imagine getting into a fight with the fucker!!

[DUI59]

Awesome - Sadly missed ...

[myabiba]

A truely wonderful piece of music and brilliant musicians come young people today we are waiting for something this soul touching you can do it.

[myabiba]

Look at my tongue its wearing a yellow sock.

[foxfoxton]

Beautiful!



[SkinnedBabiesinSalt]

You're lookin' very bootiful man, have you been away? St Peter preached the Epistles to the Apostles lookin' like that...

[Classictechnovault]

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day......

[mrShowaddywaddy]

If i spike you, you'll know you've been spoken to

[Sheenstwin]

What happened to my agent? Bastard must have died!

[Mrfordtoyou]

Of course he's a fucking farmer!!

[gratno12]

My boys my boys

[Uncantabrigian]

There was a much better, cleaner, YouTube upload of this, overlaying video footage of some bloke and his wife's first visit to New York City - I mean it was without all the crackle and fuzz and blur.

Perhaps that bloke took his version straight from Withnail, but where has it gone?

[heyzog]

Didn't Buddy Holly want King and Waylon Jennings to open for him when he went back to England with the original Crickets in 1960?? So sad they're all gone and lost to lots of young people who could learn about union of souls.

[Chaderzz]

Pure genius guy was a legend

[hemisphered]

I'm going for a cup of tea. Do you want one?

I said, do you want a cup of tea Withnail?

[thedoctorand]

@hemisphered No.

[jjleathers]

[jjleathers]

[jjleathers]

[ANDROMEDAKRAKEN]

@hemisphered Noooooooooooooooo! Fifteen million Londoners have to wake up to this.. and murder, and all bran, and rape.. and here I am stuck in this bloody shack and I can't cope with Withnail.

[mickhutchinson]

[CANVAB]

So the Protocol of Harum song is a sample???

[CANVAB]

@CANVAB Sorry, PROCOL HARUM

[oranbhoy67]

@CANVAB procul harem did the original this is a great cover though!

[GibbletsMcGinty]

Perhaps it's in the other bag...

Perhaps it is! Shall we look?

[saidenyaw]

These are the sort of windows faces look in at...

[TomthatiscalledTom]

@saidenyaw What happened to my agent? Bastard must have died!

[Fowlersboot]

All-Bran and rape.

[Fowlersboot]

I've been watching you, especially you....

[SkinnedBabiesinSalt]

Fork It!!!!

[saidenyaw]

listened to this many times over the years on W&I opening credits but fist time I have seen it performed. Beautiful and Timeless...

[TomthatiscalledTom]

@saidenyaw Look at him! Look at Jeff Wode!

[ignoranceandwant]

@TomthatiscalledTom I'm going to pull your head off, because I don't like your head.

[sandybeaches15]

Aha damnit someone got in before me :p

[ianoreilly]

@TomthatiscalledTom imagine the size of his balls

[SISYPHUSECC111]

It seems like every time I find the KING CURTIS version of this song on youtube, it gets pulled for one reason or another and then I have to look for another one. I hope you have better luck.
