Billy Connolly - Divorce

[bradleybooth95]

Must admit hes rocking those pajamas

[pacmanindy]

He misspelled "queer" to satisfy BBC censors. "Queer" is a gay reference. At that time, it was a crime to be gay in Britain. Laws have changed. Now there are gay marriages in Britain and various parts of Europe. Too bad that there are no legal gay marriages in ALL of the United States.

[twold4this]

@pacmanindy. By 1975 when this song was a hit the 1967 Sexual Offences Act had decriminalised homosexuality,in England and Wales. I think the Q-U-E-R was to make the song 'scan' correctly....but what do I know?

[garryscott651]

Billy is a true legend ,i recon he is just a bit stoned,proud to be a Scot.

[ptracerfastlane]

Q.U.E.R Queer? Scottish education wasn't as good in those days, clearly :P

[argyll1854]

@ptracerfastlane

Naa, just yer typical ENGURLISH comment !!!!

[TheLJredhead]

he's one funny fucker

[Jez32uk]

is there a version of this in front of an audience that isn't braindead? no one's laughing?

[Buzzcocks64]

@Jez32uk

Shockin stuff, min. A braindead performance and totally rehearsed, which killed the whole song. Live he was brilliant. Rehearsed he was pish. These days he is a total disgrace. He sold his soul to the devil.

[hemperfidelis]

Made as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit. God bless ye Big Yin

[hawkeyethenoo]

Billy Connelly the best export from Scotland he's an effin legend

[coolrunnings1021]

love the outfit Bill can defo tell its the 70's

[carriedunnigan]

i dont think q-u-e-r is how to spell queer.....but hey other than that who needs english lessons when we have Connolly!! :-P =)

[KayGKing]

Q.U.E.R - queer.....I love billy, but he can't spell lol

[BlaithinXO]

@KayGKing i think he knows how to spell queer, t just doesnt fit in right with the song

[RichXbox360]

Tammy Wynette would've been insulted by this song.



[BLINDMASTER121]

@RichXbox360 she loved this song cos it went in at nunber 1 in the charts one off the very best songs he ever done

[machree01]

Brilliant, written by Billy Connelly and Phil Coulter.

[samdunaway0496]

i think this is great thank you !

[essmbee]

forgot this existed lolol

[iamsteveyg09]

Frigging love this guy. But I must say, it annoyed me that he spelled "queer" with only 1 'e' every time ahaha

[Ephebiphobe]

@iamsteveyg09 And bride is "b-i-r-d-e". (;

[FransMans]

@Ephebiphobe he means BIRD smartass, new B-I-R-D, like in a new girl =P

[Ephebiphobe]

@FransMans :D

[jantojones]

Billy is a benefit to the Scots, unlike another Scottish "celebrity" we all love to vote for

[Tibor1357]

He is my favorite actor!

[GMinthehouse]

23 people are dead inside

[115352]

type in "Hillarious divorce" and watch the first clip the song is sooooooo funny much better then this

[scotstricker]

played this on my show on hospital radio wasnt sure if i should after listing to it on pre-fade before putting it on-air

[jonjon3521]

why the fuck did you bleep it at 1:22 he only says f'ing C not the full word c u n t! it fucks the hole song up when you bleep shit out so DON'T do it !!!!!

[haliboy0711]

@jonjon3521 I'm guessing as this was from the bbc it would have been them that bleeped it. They S.Q.U.I.R.M. squirm at any suggestion of a swear word lol.

[vanbommel1888]

@jonjon3521 it was on top of the pops they bleeped him, as if i would bleep billy!

[jonjon3521]

@vanbommel1888 oh sorry m8t i should have known that it would have something to do with the bbc the C.U.N.T.S !!!

[tommylambert]

@vanbommel1888 lol makes me laugh how people get so angry, just because of a video on youtube.

[Feargface]

@vanbommel1888 Roast!

[KungfuCow5]

@vanbommel1888 No one would, I believe there's a law against it...

[memphistube]

Possibly because NOT everyone appreciates,or has a foul mouth!.....:s

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@jonjon3521 same reason comedy central bleeps hole when saying asshole

[culturevulture123]

GENIUS

[auspride22]

one amazing man from my childhood

[jackssheduk]

PATRIK KILTY PLAY THIS ON RADIO2 PLEASE!

[BritishDiva]

[stripperboots]

This is comdey, when you had to make people laugh to be considered a comdian.

[blackwolf891]

[robertjonatch]

Gotta love this man! Freakin Hilarious!!

[Anthony8091]

[Anthony8091]

[saskabush2006]

I like his version better than Tammy's.

[AECEntertainment]

@saskabush2006 agreed!!!!!

[jamesrap123]

here here hoo hoo goooooo billy

[Lennon1874]

top of the pops in yer jammies! only the big yin.

[nhonho23]

He's really looking like DeNiro in this video.

[drewcox010101]

you cant beat billy he's awesome so glad i'm scottish

[djangiebaby]

Excellent :):)

[MoOsHw]

Wow, he was quite young there, his swear words even got bleeped!

[neohip]

@MoOsHw He was 33.Not young at all for the time,and aged 68 today,he is absolutely ashamed that he is one of the the last from his generation that gives a fuck today.Err..no I meant the last of his generation to care about a Tammy Wynette song.Oh jeez,I'm so confused!.I suppose I'll  just go back to playing my Banjo and Aoutoharp...

[gpartin]

Not sure whats funnier the video or the comments.

[ReflexRich]

Although "Queer" isn't spelt "Quer" like he says.

[slumpytube]

Really?  Wow, I bet he never knew that...

[ReflexRich]

You're soooo good at sarcasm! Well done, you cock sucker.

[slumpytube]

Well at least you can spell, though I suspect cocksucker to be one word, not two. But then you should know that, being quer.

[ReflexRich]

Please forgive my ignorance, you cocksucker.

[Fudgie05]

Even though Billy only pronunciates one "e" he extends it for slightly longer than the other letters. which i think is the intentions so that the word still fits in with the song. Well thats my way i look at it. Still an awesome song.

[diamond1897]

Legendary, Absolutely legendary!

[joekippax]

I remember this when it was first out Top class where do the years go?

[Lvlyfi]

[StarletDancer01]

Billy Connolly makes me proud to be Scottish!

[MrWoozo]

whats wrong wi scots liking the royal family after all the royal family is British not English ..................... worse than i thought ............. thats just ignorance you need to travel and see the world instead of being wrapped up in your own little English world

[sierra5720]

I believe their a lso partially German, Victoria's husband was called the Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The queens mother was born in Strathmore in Scotland as well. widlad7, you're a prick and can go to Hell - oh sorry, England is Hell.

[neohip]

@StarletDancer01

Billy Connolly makes me proud to be Human.

[NiggersTheCat]

@StarletDancer01 Fuck you

[2pintsplease]

Haha who in their right fucking mind would censor a billy connolly clip? Got this song on the classic album "Billy Connolly's Pick" great shit

[TheAlienFan]

I think it's because it was on top of the pops.He's not even really swearing 'cause he says "called me an effin c" By the way Iron Maiden fuckin' rocks.All the best from scotland : )

[MattyH101]

[shonaky]

[laylaaar]

I love how he laughs all the way through this, because he gets to swear on live TV.

Billy is a totaly legend :)

I met him when he came to my wee town, and he's actually the nicest man ever too.

[rhysdurnion]

Tammy Wynette is soo pish.

Billy puts a funny humerical side into the song,

Tammy Wynette's version is slow and boring!

[macpac22]

he's a comedian in fairness! wynettes version is torture as its meant to be serious! this is funny and in my opinion the much better version

[Xgooberz96X]

billy connoly is a legend! x

[apollyon1]

Brings a tear to my eye as this was the last song my Grandpa heard before he died.

He died laughing - thank you Billy.

[mufcstokesy]

u ignorant cunt. it actually makes laugh at how sad an pathetic you are to come out with something like that. il pray tonight for the 1st time in years that youll die a horrible death. and i hope its either me or that person you insulted has something to do with it.

have a good look at yourself.... then think about throwing yourself off a bridge or under a bus. actually go for the bridge cus they might never find your body

[jjay75]

What? Did I say something wrong.  Noone does care. You can't genuinely tell me that you give a shit about that sympathy mongering loser.

[mufcstokesy]

theres no need to b an ignorant shit. u obviously havent lost sum1 close. y did u leave the comment?? was there any point. if u dont care y did u leave the comment. you probably felt good after writing it cause it made ur shitty little life that bit better

[apollyon1]

Thank you for defending me - to be honest I have been avoiding this thread since jjay commented. It's the kind of thing no one would say in person.

[mufcstokesy]

hey no problem. some people are internet hard men. the worst kind around. if u prob met jjay in person, he wud shit himself if u said boo. anyway enjoy Billy. PEACE

[sunkcontrol]

fuck off fatboy.

[Dodose1jnr]

Touching as it may be - But honestly i dont believe you

[apollyon1]

Lying requires some sort of motive. That's a pre-requisite to a lie. What possible motive can I have for lying to a bunch of anonymous strangers under a pseudonym?

I simply thought that an ambivalent point of view on the song would be appropriate for a comments section.

[apollyon1]

Oh wait I see - he didn't die laughing he died from cancer while he was listening to a tape of Billy's old performances and stopped breathing half way through.

[gdsvalentine]

Hes still brilliant.

[ikklebri]

LOVE IT!!!!

[Aln692]

even he thinks its funny that hes on totp with this song!

[5times55]

this is from the days when Billy was hilarious, he's shit now.

[pointyraccoon]

nahhh. hes still a ledgend!

[pab70]

I got this at Christmas 1975, and played it over and over, and it really pissed my Uncle off.

[gingermagicman]

now the dogs acting a bit Q.U.E.R queer

[SpiralOfWhite]

"Quarantine" one in a log list of words too long to spell out in a song.

[billabongodrum]

[2ndapril2006]

textbook.

[ozzmandozz]

@ 0:23 - Love his pronunciation of W.O.R.M!

[Scottishgal78]

You're right grimTales1, i've just tried to lip read him where the bleeped part is and I think he does actually say "effing C" & not effing "S" like I thought before! lol

[grimTales1]

No he doesn't, he says "Effing C"

[BlaithinXO]

SQUIRM !!!!!! Lmfaooooooooooooooo ! :D:D:D:D:D

[BLINDMASTER121]

billy connolly a true scottish legend and one of the best songs he ever done ps who is funner billy connolly or peter kay

[jmstickland]

Billy Connolly is funnier!!!! By a mile. The man is a legend.

[soldoutside]

How can you even compare a legend like the big yin tae Peter Kay?

[BLINDMASTER121]

peter kay is a funny guy but like u mate i am a big billy connolly fan he is a true legend

[Scottishgal78]

Sounds like Billy is saying f***ing, but the next word sounds like it begins with "S"

[moviecriticftw]

fucking shit....

[aligdax]

He say 'F'ing C'

[themanfromthehouse]

Yes he says Fucking Cunt

[mossy876140]

this is amazing BIlly is a LEGEND!!

[BEATHROKZ]

GET THIS WHITHOUT ALL THE BLEEPING

[maggiesman]

I saw Billy on tour last year in Belfast, he was fuckin hillarious, and not a moments lull in the whole show, and i also remember that original t.o.t.p. show;)

[littlemisswolfy]

i love the way he cant stop laughin cuz even he knows he shouldnt be there but its pure class that he is lol <3 billy connelly

[Beereyjr]

nearly 35years old and is still a classic... billy is a ledgend... and will go down in history.

from carl aged 18 mancgester, ENGLAND

[KardKaper]

It's nice to know that some of the English don't hate us. =D

[dunnodekong]

the english dont hate the scots its the other way round mate unfortunately but you canny blame um after wot we did to them along time ago in history ;o)

[Summerislesun]

You gave as good as you got ;)!

[dunnodekong]

absolutely \o/

[FordPrefect23]

Reached derby not far from me when you were giving it too! Them claymores make a hell of a mess!

[shemseven]

who put that bloody bleep in? The beeb?

[8tatts]

This song was No.1 the day i was born

[szewei85]

this has 2 be the funniest shit ever and 2 have dirty humor in 75 is still consider the classic example of genius song today that is not going 2 be made again

[SamoIsKing]

what ones that? Fucking Cunt?

[twold4this]

This is still so clever and funny...I smile all the way through; he seems to be enjoying it so much! I am middle-aged and I remember when Connolly was funny and not acting like a c**t on Children in Need...and I remember Woody Allen, Steve Martin and (true, I am this old) Lenny Henry when they were also funny, instead of just being embarrassing f******s.

[000nour000]

oh DAMN!!! this is the very first thing i ever heard of billy connolly and i've LOVED him ever since!! i must have been about 8 in the car with my dad lol!! soooo funny i was crying with laughter hahahaa!!

[peterthesongman]

If you're going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you're going to be locked up.

Hunter S. Thompson

[AntiJoanna]

[stephiwephi]

Nope, I can only hear it once :S

[stephiwephi]

[scoobystu555]
