The Cityboy Song

[sapiensproeliator]

i hope these gold blings are real, that would be such a deal!

[timtaylor2ltime]

Does anyone of you got an idea where I can download the song? I checked cityboy's homepage, but the shop doesn't work anymore. Also tried to contact him on facebook.

[Royalskull8]

why is there a fucking mouse and a bear (2:45)??

[Royalskull8]

actually between 2:44 and 2:45

[nosadloss]

@Royalskull8 That's Danger Mouse and Penfold. Beats me what it's doing there though ...

[ChristianFynnLeo]

I love it ! ;D

[blkcolas]

Must add some romance to the story, like Russel Crow's movie "A Good Year".

[SalisburyBoy123]

If that's what you call a pretty boy..... I'm scared.

[tyskboy]

i m just a city boy

[DRFoldo]

your book is perfect i read it in 3 days i cant lay it down. i totaly agree with you

go on cityboy

[ledeReini]

MESSAGE for CITYBOYlondon: Somebody had to talk about that issue . . . hope you're satisfied with my "musican-interpretation" of "City Boy" . . . you 'll find it on:

LEDEREINI/you tube.com (or join me on facebook)

[Ulrik1986]

Your book's good but your songs crap mate.. Its the kind of humor that only kanye west think is funny, and only when he's the one on stage.

But cheers for the book u nob

[GreenGottaCatchEmAll]

what a great men :D

[massey565man]

ima country boy

[Dziwkna]

I love your book! :D Man, I hope you found your second love and your liver is in good mood :) :D

[AniaQueeN]

just finished the book too... LOVED IT! so glad someone had the guts and sense of humour to spill some truth and make it interesting to read at the same time!!! thank u

[siwaoasis1963]

I have just read your book...I almost fell off my chair laughing.....it simply confirmed what I already 'knew' about the City....given my public school middle class upbringing in Kingston Upon Thames; and what I knew about that position's antithesis from Estuary Essex! Greed knows no class boundaries!

[bulimiquin]

Bernard Madoff have an other good song: oldyboy.

[sailboot]

in my opinion its funny

[angli4anin]

I felt embarrassed for you watching that. Have you no shame?

[AniaQueeN]

@angli4anin have u no sense of humour? :D

[ThrugsterMcThrug]

Hugo Bentley could write a better song ;) OJ :)

[Mortifrog]

Excellent song and video.  Great job Al.

[Claracluckpea]

Just finished the book - BRILLIANT! Not sure about the song tho, lol.

[SteveDerDeutsche]

sounds like a perfect job

[tayxctrk]

wtf flashes at 2:45

[ncis11]

@tayxctrk its Dangermouse and penfold for some reason lol

[pogmathon100]

Very funny!

[Peppergon]

sexy sexy xD what is DM!? lol

[123sammy12]

@Peppergon Dangetr Mouse!!!

[Parisableboy]

Love your book!

[christoph386]

I really like this song. It is great!!!

[fairyweather]

What I find ironic is that he uses a Blackberry when in the book he says he'd kill the guy who invented them. Whether it's meant to portray a 'real life' city boy or is a mistake I guess we'll never know. Great video mate.

[tayxctrk]

@fairyweather It's not really him in the book, nor is it probably in this video. Remember the point of Cityboy is just to display classic City archetypes. And these days I'm pretty sure any bank or firm provides their analysts with Blackberrys.

[Flobse9]

I can´t get enough of this great song!

[xxsonicxx1]

This is Geraint Anderson

[suisseTKD]

[PDProductions10]

Il suffit d'utiliser Google Translator.

[jacko2059]

Epic book GA changed my perspective for the better! Nice one!

[ladefeo]

Qui peut me faire une traduction en français - SVP ;-)

[SmartSergio]

what does "columbian expert in my brain" mean?

[nskalicky]

I guess it's "columbian export"... and meant is some white powder :-)

[WhiteHollywood]

[Tradesclub]

He studied at Cambridge. Unless I completely misunderstand what you're talking about.

[GlobeMaster51]

[ne1l007]

[AppA]

You're a huge inspiration, though I'm still having trouble forgiving you all the years in the exchange...

[030985fr]

[nickjenkins123]

A subliminal message of danger mouse? Ok?

[ne1l007]

SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE at 2.45

[burrows1978]

Will be No.1 for Christmas!!!

[burrows1978]

Superb song old boy!

[danman0211]

it was also on german television=polylux:) greez_dan

[juniordogsbody]

As featured on the 'Tony Horne In The Morning' radio show: tonyhorneinthemorning. com

[corsair773]

Haha I pass by Liverpool Street station every day lol! Bankers are usually so grim looking - if I saw someone dancing around like that on that escalator I'd burst out laughing lol.

[ne1l007]

Hey, i am a city boy. I dont regard myself as "grim"

[michie05]

First time that I have heard this song.

It's awesome!

[jackpotbox]

Me too..just saw it on CNN..

[TazakaLOL]

i just saw it on CNN

[Marduk1968]

The way things are going in the economy now we need videos like this. We have to be able to laugh at the situation. Otherwise all we can do is cry at the fraudulent bailout that was worked out behind closed doors in the middle of the night.

You should also check out the videos:

hXBcmqwTV9

[ildirittodisognare]

Thank you for your suggestion. I've watched the first one and it's fantastic. :D

[ildirittodisognare]

Hey, I've seen more clips of these two guys and they are brilliant... they are absolutely brilliant. :D

[ildirittodisognare]

BLEAH!!! What a stupid, superficial mentality.

When will it happen that the man will learn to be a remedy for his neighbour, rather than a wolf.

[farno1112]

yes...i had allready seen this idiot :) kisses

[ildirittodisognare]

I think he's just being cynical. Cynicism is what many British use to describe some aspects of life. It does not really belong to our Italian culture, maybe this is why we have some difficulty understanding it. :)

[BoracayADMIRER]

Just saw it on CNN

[9lives353]

Lot of negatory going on here. Fair play to the guy.

[ipadnz]

NIIIIIICE!!!!!

just saw on Channel Four....

[rpresto]

pure class. love it

[darcyc77]

Classs, love the moves, love the book. Big it up on Ajuna Beach!

[alexiscaught]

Is there no end to this guys ego?

[retrotees]

fucking mint, quality lyrics

[madgoody]

Bang on pal, screw the jealous t**ts.

[djdope]

big up your babylons! nice one geeza : )

[spankingnew2]

Me too! Very anthemic... who are Blue Flying Monkeys?

[ChiefWatchman]

LOVE this song! it's very catchy.. Kept singing along

Why does Dangermouse flash up at the end?

[billybueno]

dont know anything about this guy but I love the song with blue flying monkeys

[andy757575]

jastat I take it you work in a front office position in a BB firm?

[jastat]

This guy worked in research and has no idea about the City. All research in investment banking is essentially the back office. He can pretend he was important, write a trite book about a load of stories he heard off his mates, but at the end of the day he was only ever one step above the cleaners.

[mattdagr81]

"All research in investment banking is essentially the back office"?

Yeah, good one.

[ipunicorn]

He was DrKl. Headed a desk for EQ research. Total package about 620 to 650 bags gbp. 500 of which was bonus.

Still doesn't change the fact he's ridiculous and has exposed nothing. Resurfacing an old, tired and outdated cliche has achieved nothing.

[agowans]

It doesn't chance the fact he worked for Dresdner - the laughing stock of the City...

[TheHonourableJLD]

Jealous

[curtcurtcurtcurt]

lol cityboy

[kentishtown1]

City Boy is awesome. Well done him to expose some of the City's greed, self-indulgence and ruthless individualism through rudimentary and exaggerated humour. The way the City system works is all a big joke anyway so lets all have a laugh at it. This is a great tune. Looks like the video was fun to make. There is a danger mouse (I think) subliminal message at the end after city boy takes a sip of his larger, I can't imagine why...

[andy757575]

How do you know he's back office? He stated on the The One Show today that his last bonus was 500K, I don't think they make that in the back office.

[abfrempong]

Lame Back office twat!!!!! People who work often have this misconceived notion about the city. Idiots like the so called "cityboy" also help fuel these ideologies.

[monksquare]

with accordance to the combined code of corp governance bonuses ought to b measured against the results that an individual o director produces 4 a firm and therfore its money that is well earned.and if u look at the defences against insider trading it is easy to get away with it o rather difficult to prove hence blame it on the FSA 4 weak rules and regulations.bma do a better job with the drs regarding behavoiur city boys ought to b warned bout coke and champers life style.these guys r geniuses

[afhbfh]

hilarious!
