  • ...and now for something completely Stranglers!

  • lubię tego pana, który śpiewa ...

  • This is oen of teh best '80s songs ever made during those 10 years or so, since the punk session.

  • @PrincessJuliette09 I was surprised it was 1977, since it sounds so 80s!

  • trotsky, lenin - all jewish madmen.

  • there is nothing clever about being stupid mr cockney.if you like youre bouncey castle music as such then i would suggest you peruse the musical "bouncemeisters" of your namesake, the cockney rejects, who,by there own admission,as yourself,are in some foreign land where distant memories of blowing bubbles bring such joy.good day

  • A 'hero' is subjective in the end. It implies the idea of objective right or wrong. Anyone can percieve a situation or result as good or bad. Hitler is one of the biggest villain this planet has ever had, but to those that adopt far right outlooks on the master race he'll be 'their hero.' In the case of Trotsky, he might be a hero to those choosing to identify themselves as the impoverished working masses, but to others he'll be seen as an antagonist to their own values of economic independance.

  • blindin fuckin tune and all you wanna talk about is politics.you bunch of boring dickheads,you should be bouncing off the walls to this belter

  • @CornishCockney Abso Fuckin Lutely CC Well said

  • SUPER FOOTAGE

  • why are all the comments about politics, not the epic music that the stranglers made?

  • JUST BECAUSE SOME MAY CHOOSE TO FAIL, AT EQUALITY, STROKE COMMUNISM IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT DOES NOT EXIST, ITS LIKE GOD OR ALLAH, OR BUDDHA OR KRISHNA, OR ANY THING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THAT LIST, IT IS PERSONAL CHOICE, AND FREE WILL THAT ALLOWS YOU TO FAIL,. YOU ARE JUST A SPEC OF SPERM AND EGG THAT HAS MATERIALISED INTO REALITY, AND SO YOU RESPOND IN COMPLETE IGNORANCE, OF WHAT IS REAL TO THE INDIVIDUAL, I DO NOT MEAN TO OFFEND, AS I AM THE NME'S FRIEND. :

    )

  • no more fucking heroes any more!!!!!!! FREEDOM!!!!

  • you plonker! it's not ''dear old Lennin'' it's ''dear old Lenny'' (as in Lenny Bruce, comedian, social critic and satirist), Trotsky is mentioned because he was in conflict with Lennin, so what's the point of naming them both heroes?! think about it... (you should remake your video man)

  • Politics man, fucking politics

  • great vid

  • travis touchdown

  • The very best!

  • this tune is a belter

  • @quintincollins The lyrics denote that there aren't any more heroes in today's society unlike Shakespeare and apparently Trotsky

  • @tomrollock I wasn't directly referring to Stalin, but in fact Lenin appointed Stalin to many positions and let him in the politburo. As most historians see it, Stalinism was Lenin's baby

  • Great song, Great band. Fuck off Demogracy you stupid wanker

  • that's an amusing animation. Must have taken ages to do!

  • Hero is subjective. Hero is one who has the positive support and belief of others. One man's hero is another mans terrorist.

  • My heroes are still The Stranglers. :)

  • trotsky and lenin heroes?....lol..why not add stalin to it?  commie scumbags

  • @Norum86 In theory communism is a better practise than capitalism but in practise never quite works

  • @alecahauf as you said, only in theory.....i mean what Marx and Engels wrote sounded good, but that was a fairy tale. I mean cmon, whther you are a doctor or a grave digger, you all get paid the same....Im sorry, but thats just a load of crap.

  • @alecahauf nothing works, any political system is based on a fradulent interpretation of humanity. communism is based on the assumption that 1 person is wise enough to rule all, as does monarchy, capitalism is based on the belief that at least 50% or more of the people can and will do the right thing.

  • @98donkeydude Communism is based on the idea that no incentive is needed for mankind to work hard and eventually all leadership can be let go. A true communist society has never existed because a true communist society is impossible. It becomes a dictatorship because human nature makes it fail. Get your facts straight, maybe take a basic government class at the high school level and you'd understand things better before you make yourself look like a dumbass.

  • @plasticbudgie - perfect response

  • @Demogracy12 You can't blame Lenin and Trotsky for Stalin.

  • @tomrollock It's not like they didn't commit atrocities themselves.

  • @tomrollock Sure you can. Lenin made him possible. He opened the road for his rise to power by not understanding what a shit system he just installed at the cost of countless lives of his countrymen (including those that fought on his side during the civil war, and whom he later deemed undesirable, such as anarchists). He coldly decided to split off and raise a backstab "revolution" while his country was locked in a world war, like commies in my native Yugoslavia in WW2. Fuck him.

  • @johnnystulic42 Completely agree. Trotsky's main criticism of Stalinism was pretty much that it was Stalin and not himself in power! Trotsky and Lenin wanted a dictatorship of 18 people centrally running Russia. Stalin wanted a dictatorship of one. Neither are particularly virtuous nor emancipatory

  • @tomrollock You can blame Lenin,He knew what sort of man Stalin was and as Stalin got more powerful and Lenin's health failed he lost control,even in the face of some pretty unpleasant insults and threats to his wife he didn't remove him when he could have.He was afraid. Lenin definition of wrong man, wrong place, wrong time when it all happened. He came to power with the aid of Germany,the famous sealed train, fully stocked with weapons by Germany it swung the balance in the chaos.

  • @Demogracy12 u sir need to cheer the fuck up.

  • @Demogracy12 Be quiet and listen to the MUSIC!

  • @Demogracy12 how could you get that from this song? It explicitly says "no more heroes".

  • @Demogracy12 filth! Go lick the czar's arse!

  • @Demogracy12 So simplistic that the meaning of the song flew right over your head. Which is quite a feat considering the name of the song kinda gives it away.

  • @Demogracy12 1. It isn't Lenin it's Lenny as in Lenny Bruce the comedian 2. Like tomrollock said it's not their fault their idolistic theorys, intent on promoting freedom in a tsarist regime in wich the poor died of starvation wile the rich did what ever the hell they wanted, got twisted and misused by their sucsesors 3. In fact Trotsky was removed from the contry for oposing Slatin ... ask a history teacher (actual no don't, they often get it wrong), go on the internet look it up

  • @Demogracy12 thats like saying that Nobel is a beast and deserves punishment for every death by bullets or explosions.

  • @Demogracy12 You have to be america, not because of your stupid right wing views and not realising Trotsky was a good leader but got written out of the history books by Lenin because you see Communism as a bad thing, no its not that. You spelt Democracy wrong.

  • @wowwowwiwow lol are you trying to say communism is a good thing? its just as bad as capitalism and socialism

  • @wowwowwiwow Trotsky played a part in the murder of millions of people, and America is has got a capital A dumb ass

  • @wowwowwiwow Communism only works if the whole society is Robots. There's always one who fucks up a Utopian view...

  • What a fantastic video many thanks.

  • WTF why RJD2 at the end

  • A brilliant video and a great song. Very Python-esque.

    Loved what you did with Bach's head! XD

    A brilliant piece of entertainment all round!

  • awesome

    Congratulations.

  • Space Commander Travis?

  • Where's Travis Touchdown?

  • The Horror is f***ing AWESOME!

  • nice video, man!

    Well done!

  • Very Montypython-esque. I love it!

  • Comment removed

  • Great song , top artwork

    Loads better than the original video [ if you can call it that ]

  • Great song , top artwork

  • This is pretty awesome hahaha I love this.

  • Grrrrrrrreat!!!!!

  • gee thanks its not like it says the horror before the song starts

  • I have a question about the ending:

    Why does the video end like that?

  • Mysterium Tremendum.

  • Montypythonesque

    Really really good

  • A lot of people see the degradation of Hero Worship as a bad thing, thinking that mutual adoration for a monumental figure, someone too aspire too, drives a culture forward as a whole. I don't think that's true, I think what we're seeing is a fundamental shift in the concept of individual worth in society, that has been long in progress. For the better or for the worse, I can only speculate.

  • this video is fucking brilliant

  • Better than the original !!

  • f*cking great!!!

  • Great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • nice!!!!!!

  • Nicely done!

  • impressive ;)

  • great lyrics , thats all

  • cool

  • Nice job!

  • Were Lenin and Trotsky heroes? Wierd example.

  • @Danimation985 Definitely. The fathers of socialism

  • @Danimation985 Leon Trotsky is one guy

  • its like the intro to monty python haha

  • When I was a child all my car's travels were faced with this song in the ears... Just because the only CD that my big sister gave me is a punk compilation, ah, nice memories...

  • This reminds me of Monty Python animation.

  • FUCKHEAD.

  • the video reminds me of Monty Python! :)

  • @missfabulesso Terry Gilliams

  • i dont know why they didnt put hitler in?

  • Better than the original!!!!!

  • Nice Vid - does a great tune justice :)

  • dzierżyński zalicza strzał z młotka w komunistyczny łeb. genialne

  • @EduDuck bit late for that protip =[

  • Protip: Don't watch this while stoned, cause it will destroy your mind

  • haha... Found this referenced in a sci-fi book... thought it was gonna be heavy metal but it was entertainingg none-the-less

  • <3

  • Not Lenin... Lenny Bruce.

  • Brilliant

  • Am I the only one who found this song because of the video game No More Heroes?

  • @YuKaiCV nope

  • @YuKaiCV No me too ;D

  • @YuKaiCV No you're not.

  • They became drug dealers working for the enemy / British government and flooded the streets of Ireland with addictive substances and quell any/all notions of rebellion. Just like the CIA did to ghettos in the USA with Columbian cocaine. Absolute control...

    The truth hurts you spy cunts - Doesn't it..?

  • @upstatelugh Meh, I've heard crazier things. I mean, why wouldn't an oppressive government resort to evil measures in order to suppress rebellion? It's happened several times in the past and will probably happen again in the future.

    But nice song, in any event.

  • @upstatelugh It irritates me when people hit out with things like "The truth hurts" instead of trying to change what they perceive is the truth.

  • this is a really sexy song! it's like, 'i am man, hear me roar, all these injustices done against my fellow man, RAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR' :P hehe!

  • great

  • Ain't that the truth

    "Whatever happened to all the Hero's"

    V-You Are The Resistance against the New World Order

    watch?v=FZB8ifTo6hw

  • This is fantastic, good video.

  • se parece a la cancion de Elastica

  • This is fucking amazing!

  • nicely done man, this must have taken some time. I appreciate it!

  • Comment removed

  • Urm..yeah. What's that then, the Hilary Clinton school of intellectual property theft?

    Yeah, it's got a riff. Definately ripped pff by elastica-waking up. Maybe the spatic cow should stick to who's "head" her husband was ripping off, LOL.

    nn/\nn

  • Excellent!

  • the piano solo in the middle is brilliant.

  • Video excellente.

    Just like some of Terry Gilliam's best Python work.

  • @hartmusc Exactly, right on!

  • how good is the intro

  • I'm a right-wing libertarian and I wouldn't ever count Lenin and Trotsky as a heroes, but... screw those political shit! Great tune!

  • This video is fucking brilliant!! i only ever watch the song on this video!!

    boss mate :)

  • Hilarious had me in stiches!!

  • the rdj2 song at the end is "the horror" for anyone interested

  • @MrTheDecoy thanks :)

  • Loving the animation with the song. Can't help wondering if you were tripping when you came up with this clip though.

  • LOL..LOVE IT!

  • anyone know the name of that RDJ2 tune at the end credits?

  • @ghostfaced1 Never mind just found it

  • @ghostfaced1 So what is it?

  • @ghostfaced1 nvm found it

  • okejjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj­jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj­jjjjjjjjjjjjj

    

  • yep, must be Terry Gilliam who made it

  • nice work!

  • he got an ice pick .

  • I listend this song when i was small, my dad who is english loved this kind of songs, together with duran duran and abc. Everytime we drove to england or france we did the car music to the max and and song the whole all the songs!! fantastic song!!

  • On my favorites. Straight away!

  • very good. . great work.

    thanks frome Portugal Stranglers fan Club.

  • RJD2 :)

  • truly outstanding

  • im a poo man me, 

  • great video... FANTASTIC song...... but thats an ice axe not an ice pick

  • I love th RDJ2 ending

  • You know, if i didn't know any better, i would've thought that this was the original music video!! Haha, brilliant!

  • @XstonerXXL Inclined to agree, it is very well made. Good job to the creator.

  • Even with the Lenin thing..It`s a well made vid, clever and well done. Thanks!!

  • This is very clever and well done, but it is cut-out animation, not stop-motion. Stop-motion requires models or some other three-dimensional object to qualify.

    Very good, though.

  • amazing (:

  • is the end a song from RJD2?

  • wow, you made this? amazing stuff.

  • excellent vid

  • Song seems an inversion of a poem by Bertolt Brecht in which he asks what happened to the little men of history, who build the Egyptian pyramids,... that time has forgotton. Not to mention all the users of youtube that will be forgotton sooner or later.

  • Nice video. Like the appearance of JS Bach, another hero!

  • Great song and fab video. Brilliantly animated and lip-synced.

  • Lol @ videoclip xD

  • And now for something completely different => The Stranglers!

    Nice work Mr. Rollock!

    Must have taken hours. :o)#
