I love this clip, but it's only recently that I realised the "names in the window" he mentions, "Søren and Kierkegaard" refer to the existentialist philosopher of the same name. What a brilliant reference to get into what looks like a fairly shitty entertainment show.
This guy pisses me off so much, i always have to skips his parts in the young ones, he is totally NOT funny! he jus shouts and has got no clue how to be witty or any grasp on inudendos at all, the only job he should have is being a clown at a circus thats all he is
Sayle is way way ahead of what many people understand so they take his stuff at face value instead of the biting satire it is.He is VERY funny, and courageous
Tell you what.... we will trade you Alexei for Kevin james AND jennifer anniston and to sweeten the pot we will throw in the entire current cast of Saturday night live.
@MRPOOPDOG100 'how this guy got famous i will never know'.....Well, learn a little about the history of british comedy and you might understand it a little more? If you don't think something is funny yet lots of people who are better than you do, it's quite likely that you're not in on the joke.
I spent 2 years in the UK when this came out. I seem to remember another version of this song where he says "Ullo, what's the damage John Mini Cab 'ere, if you have some oft money you want to launder, please piss off at the tone".
i bought the 12inch and it has the cursing one on the other side , it just constant fuck fuck fuck ,i still have it a must get my daughter to up load it hahaha
@dearyou1994 will do.... ,got to find it ,and also get a record player working,but be prepared for a good tune ,give me a while or so ....,shit piss wank fuck up fuck up:)

Oyy Kemobasbie mate neva erd of a Scouse Native Band.Tonto mate they were at last years current bun dance at Stonehenge. Corrr got me laughing gear on a peace bong wiff some great gear in it, Kemmo I got stoned out of me henge.Did you kill my brouva?
that song i couldn't get out of my head when i was visiting my dad who lived in london in 1982! Coming back in Holland i told all my mates about this great song and i showed them how the song went....
the reaction was exactly the same as the audience in the video! well i was my time ahead in holland i guess.......
I love Alexie Sayels song and dance numbers. Very funny song here.
Anyone remember a thing he did called "It's a jolly old world"? Very funny dark humor bit where Alexie and two backup dancers in coat, tails,and canes, danced before a movie screen that had newsreel footage of world atrocities and disasters playing across it. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen him do. Would love to see that again.
What a classic piece of biting social comment that really captures the anti-Thatcherite comedic invective of the 80's. I love this song and think Alexei Sayle is the dogs' b*ll*cks!!!
This would be broadcast on 27th February 1982... almost exactly two years (25th February 1984) before it entered the charts! Reached 15. He must've been performing it for quite a while before realising its popularity.
just watched his show on liverpool on bbc iplayer, i didnt realise how funny he is. Plus this song's got so much energy, he gives it all hes got, crazy but funny
this guy is not nearly as cool as Vinnie Jones. Vinnie Jones is the only thing British people have to be proud of. Him and the London Eye and The Clash. All awsome. That's it.
Who's that fat bastard?
