Sham 69 - Poor Cow

[Klaatubes]

This is in the Top 500 best recordings of all-time in my opinion. Absolute brilliant legend genius!!

[amuntvalenciacity]

esto es un gran tema de una banda que fue de lo mejor del rock y del punk... es una cancion distinta y especial... ojala se le hiciere una version como dios manda, punk haibally

Hi, Jimmy Pursey here, just writing in to tell that cunt Rabsmiff quit stalking me and stop sending me flowers and presents etc. Ugly talentless shitface wanker isn't exactly what you called me that night in the back of the Hersham Greyhound Track, is it? Six months ago, remember? You hate me thru the tube but you love my tube thru you. Your comments aren't as gross as your love letters though and the last one you sent its lavender scent i'll cherish forever. Yours truly, James Timothy Pursey.

[rabsmiff]

@Gabry20002010 I apolgize I have offended you, Jimmy. All my troll comments was me being a total arsehole and I wrote them when I was pissed. I am sober now. I don't hate you Jimmy, you would probably win me over if we ever shared a pint. I still have about 4 of your albums and I have the Sham compilation CD, which isn't bad. I remember you taking the piss out of Lydon on Jukebox Jury in 1979, and the 'Sham Pistols' with Cook and Jones which never worked out. My troll comments have stopped.

[ahsmann]

Can anyone tell me What's this about? About a cow?

[backflippingcow]

lol 69 nah i kid'

[TheHorserat]

Brilliant tune by a wonderful band !!

[rabsmiff]

Pursey is an ugly bastard!

[dortyhoor]

This song is so shit for so many reasons, not least Purseys 'Crooner' pose, all he needed was the nylon jumper and he could of been the punk Val Donican, at least in this video anyway.

[YoUrArSeIZminE]

A little too close to the Captain & Tennille's production values, one thinks. Particularly that keyboard.. ha ha

[the13corinne]

gret have not heard this in 30 years!!!!! love it!!!!!!

[infocado]

Quite a surprise when I first heard this.

Charming and brave

[meninapolaroid]

o Jimmy Pursey era bonito

[Baconskank]

The guy rabsmiff who keeps commenting on Sham vids is obviously a real loser, he favourites Hitler footage.

[harleytexas]

Always loved this track

[James806]

more gay comments I see rabsmith! just come out queer

[rabsmiff]

Stop sending me e-mail attachments with pix of yourself posing in French frilly knickers and suspenders, please, James. I accept you are trying to attract other males, but I'm not interested in your advances. Any more lewd advances from yourself will be forwarded onto the police.

[SgtSyphilis]

just what the fuck do you care what his face looks like, you fags

[Taktwo2]

Why the fuck do you give a shit what he looks like?

[Taktwo2]

Alright, now I know your just a troll. Went a little too far there.

[burnleycasual1882]

i think he's beautiful

[burnleycasual1882]

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat....still a ledgend

[coxybhoy2008]

Gie Pursey a break guys, bet you lot are no oil paintings!!

Go and watch a lovely boy band then - feck sake.

[rumpraisin]

Did you write the script for Trainspotting?

[leondenis00]

ROFL 8VD

[illyasmith]

For those of you that are unaware of the origin of this footage, it's from the doco 'Rough Cut & Ready Dubbed'. It was shot on 8mm & then blown up to a 16mm release print. This may account for 'Pursey's face looking like shit' (or even a 'fucking monkey'!)Lol!

The audio wasn't crystal locked and caused for synching headaches (maybe this is why Sham sound like 'Mott The Hoople')Again...LMFAO!

As to being an Oi band, Sham were the precursors. They are the REAL deal punk band, warts & all!!

[tkungfool]

thanks for the info, I saw the documentary a couple of years ago and for the life of me couldn't remember the title. Stiff Little Fingers and Cockney Rejects are in the doc also.

[kebetanus]

pursey looks like a fucking monkey

[ikickuhead]

...but is more beautiful of yours.

[rumpraisin]

This sounds like Mott The Hoople. nothing wrong with that mind.

[cliveyboy1]

Think the album was "the game of life" a roulette wheel with guns n stuff around it. Its up in the attic somewhere. This is one of my favourite Sham tracks, thanks for posting SiddenyPsychoKiller!

[cardiffcasual12]

thank you

[scootvamp]

was that album "the game of life"?..still got all sham vinyl but no longer have a record player..must have about 2000 viynl records..havent looked at em for years.

[SiddenyPsychoKiller]

I Know Poor Cow is a later Video, what I was saying is that the video was done in the early 80,s so its early Sham 69 as where now in 2006....

[RStrathfield]

Sorry, meant Sham

[SiddenyPsychoKiller]

Very Early Sham 69

[RStrathfield]

Very late Shame 69... from their final studio album to be correct.
