I never heard of this song until it was played on "Get it On" with Bryan Burnett today. Love it. Perfect for my hubby, who prefers his (toast) almost burnt.
my Dad was working at the BBC when this was released. Apparently when it was being promoted they had Women outside the building giving employees bits of toast.

omg he talks so much. it's annoying! I hate it when singers talk too much, more singing less talking! oh I see, the song is part talking *_* eh not my cup of tea, but the jazzy bits are nice
@tragicallyhiprule i was thinking the same thing when i recently stumbled upon this classic......brings back memories of my student days in Toronto in the early 80's listening to Pete & Geets playing 'in the kitchen at parties' etc
@Spindle78 Absolutely, I have just listened to (part of ) P McCartney's temporary secretary. What a cacophony! Not all stuff from the ex-Beatles was brilliant
Hilarious ! I've been looking for this for a long, long time. God be with the days when i used to listen to it on a K-Tel LP ! Thank you for posting this video, thecatkeaton, it has brought back good memories and a smile to my face.
amazing they could make a smash hit about toast, these days it's gotta be shooting hommes, slapping girls around, smoking ganja and crack, etc,etc. whats the world come to?
I Remeber this from an old Gales Honey ad! never knew it was from Paul Youngs old bantd, never knew he was in a band. Used to think the song from the ad was maybe The Blockheads
@sirtinycreep he's from Luton, my home town, and the Luton/London accent are very similar, jeez, I live in Cornwall now and the ammount of times i've got a "why do you put on that cockney accent"
@egonspeng Yeah I know he's a London boy but he sounds like he is faking his accent. I have heard him speak, and his accent wasn't as strong as that. :)
lol, ya have to love this catchy little ditty. I used to drive my mum nuts after buying the single and playing it, and playing it and playing it............
TOAST!!! my ma has this song on a record! ha! my ma and pa bought a record player and creeped my bro and i out with the ying tong song and this song! ^_^
Ha, the funny thing is that my science teacher is one of the guys... he won't tell us thow, every time we put it on in class he gets realy imbarest and cross.. LOL
This song is totally nuts! I remember it well from the time, but came across on Youtube after an absence of decades and was almost knocked off my feet when I found out that Paul Young sang it - he wasn't even famous at the time.
I could live on toast but the song kinda reminds of the attitude of the seventies when people didn't take themselves too seriously and there was more fun in the air not like now........ Oops toast is burning
If this is Top of the Pops I went there when they recorded this tune!! My mate and I was even in the lift with Paul Young but we were only about 15 at the time (47 now) and really didnt have a clue who he was!! Loved him !! He done some good stuff!! XX
This was, as said by loads of you, pretty awful, but the 2 albums released by Streetband - 'London' and 'Dilemma' were truly great pieces of pop with some great songs. 'One Good Reason', 'Mirror Star' and 'Slaughterhouse 5' being the best for me - with a cameo vocal appearance by Ian Dury on the track 'Mystery' from the 'London' album
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is the worst song ever made in my opinion ...i cant stand it...but i listen to it just to make sure it was really that shit and it never dissapoints me
NOt quite, check out louise Jordan's "Saturday Night Fish fry" for an eary form of rap, released around 1948 was also the forerunner to rock and roll, although Louise Jordan refered to it as "jump blues"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i cant believe people let this release, it is a great song but compared to other real songs, this is just fucking horrible, but bloody funny, but this guy and all the others connected to this in any way must of been so fucking stoned when they made it, but i guess it was the 70s anyway........now go ahead thumbs down me!!!
