Neil - Hole In My Shoe (Live, Top Of The Pops)

[Razaak666]

This is real heavy stuff, man.

[twatchous]

surreal



[Spillage66]

At 1:53! HAHA!

[Spillage66]

Did anyone notice that he mimed, "...The dew on the grass, had soaked through my ARSE!"? HAHA!

[Spillage66]

[danielearwicker]

It was horrible. I sat in the big hall and put my packet of Polos on the desk. And my spare pencil and my support gonk. And my chewing gum and my extra pen, and my extra Polos and my lucky gonk. And my pencil sharpener shaped like a cream cracker. And three more gonks with a packet of Polos each. And lead for my retractable pencil. And my retractable pencil. And spare lead for my retractable pencil, and chewing gum and pencils and pens and more gonks, and the guy says "Stop writing, please".

[Spaceflightlover2010]

He sounds like David Gilmour.

[pogie516744]

happy days.

[mervdub]

Looks a bit like my mate Monkhouse.....

[Mrsfaery79]

The joys of the summer holidays & making my dad play this song over & over.... Remember the BP vouchers you saved for .... Well we got enough for the compilation tape!! Wahooooooo x x x

[domblet]

i love his dancing

[finkbone]

I wish there were no machines and we all lived a pastoral existence. Trees and flowers don't deliberately call out and go beep in your ear.

[randomchild81]

@finkbone Best episode! :)

[ThisIsEnglaaand]

i am not ashamed to say i have this on my ipod

[happyhead64]

@ThisIsEnglaaand I do too, and I am an American. I LOVE Nigel.

[Coppillie]

"can I do the B side now?" lol

[paisleybabee]

[princessbabyfirefly]

[johnnyl30]

[BigAndTall666]

[pbeargrz]

"Listen to the lyrics, Paul Weller!" Hilarious..

[mahatmacoatmahandbag]

[swollower]

Traffic eat your hearts out! Cheers for this

[pawnshopguitars]

You know, just for once, right, I'd like to keep the lentils off the floor

[peter007taylor]

..I've had some Murky baths in my time...but i'll never forget the time Neil got in the Bath on the Young ones and pulled out a Bike...

[riverphoenixgurl]

I looove Neil :)

[MayallFan35]

oh my god i have not seen this in years. :-) love it.

[ChristyFisty]

Technofear!

Nigel is the man. <3

[BethMayallMcQueen]

Who knew that Nigel Planer atually was the first ever 'Pop' when We Will Rock You first opened :D would have loved too see him doing Queen songs

[edsterzzzzzz]

HA HA...GLAD YA PUT THIS ON,,,CHEERS,,,,MEMORY LANE

[veggiepunk2410]

Neil is my favorite!

[marksoutof10]

You know his name is written as 'neil', not 'Neil'? It's another kd lang thing, using just lower-case letters.

[vaggelisparaskevas]

my dog those were the days we thought they never end

[fergsnando]

Hahaha! Fabulous!

[Bluequotations]

ah hippie heaven! i love this and i love nigel's voice

[mikecullen2008]

I have this on MP3 LOL

Class Song!

[floppetylove]

id like to dedicate this to my shoes - which are currently doing so

neil was always my favourite young one =)

[jobber25v]

nigel planner is great hes really old now

[kyrastube]

@jobber25v "old" is a very abstract word you know. what can he be, 50? thats not very old in my book. to me, you are old when you are 85, so hes still got 35 years to go

[leestockton24]

legend!!!!

[wrestlingskater]

wow, i should itunes this one

[MsipmsonW]

You can't beat 80's music!

[ZITZON]

Hole in My Shoe is a 1960s psychedelic era pop song by band Traffic.

[00RockyAngel00]

@MsipmsonW This isn't 80's music - most 80's music sucks

[00RockyAngel00]

@00RockyAngel00 - even though it was recorded, as a cover tune, in the '80s, it's not "80's music"

[shadowolfblue]

LOL I still have this on vinyl, Neil's Heavy Concept Album.

[BladesUnitedfan]

I have a different performance of this from a later TOTP, though I'm not sure how to upload. He dedicates the song to Freddie Mercury (because they've just shown a Queen vid) and apologies to Frankie Goes To Hollywood, who were also on the show. I think this is because he thinks he'll knock their Two Tribes off No.1, as he was No.2 at the time. Shame he didn't!

[SiolGhoraidh]

LOL Why does he yell at Paul Weller xD

I also love that bit where it says 'A hundred tin soldiers... (fascists!)'

What a legend

[DeathAngelHRA]

i went to school with quite a few guys like this,i may have even been one of them.

[GreensongOakheart]

there's no way to nail in the last nail

[Clown0fHatred]

lol i didnt even know tht nigel could sing XD still its funny

[zombiehellmonkey]

I hope they re-release it

[Natdaswimmer]

He either looks digusted by the microphone or its the way he sings haha

I do love Neil (:

What would have been the B side?

[shauny6969uk]

this was the first record i ever bought....

jesus i feel old now.

if i remember correctly the b side was called " hurdy gurdy mushroom man"

i also have his album he released called

"the heavy concept album"

hard to get hold of but if you want it pm me and ill get it to you thru msn or summat

[swollower]

The song I know but can you please tell me who did the original! Cheers.

[zombiemalenurse]

i had no idea this existed. He was a cool young one but not as good a Viv and Rik!!!

[AtlasTravis]

No, no Michael is the ultimate cool person.

[AceripXF]

u know nigel sings really good as his char niel lol

[CHROSSTOPHER]

if people like Neil come look at our Channel !!!

my friend does the best impression of him!

[kristianjoneid]

brilliant thought neil was amazing in the young ones sheer brilliance

[LeoArctica]

go neil XD

[letterboxes108]

Peace and love!

[doncorleone7889]

Definately my favourite young one.

[squarebanana94]

i love this song! i have it on my old record player...i wonder if i still have it...

[LoveHeartEmz]

JemmaLouise, at least you have a half decent music teacher...mine makes us sing so called 'pop songs'...one of them was story makers!!

[LoveHeartEmz]

The young Ones and Neil are like AWESOME!!

Love Em lmao

[edsterzzzzzz]

kind of sad a bit,,,,,,,cool and funny though...WOW,,

[vanillaorchid]

What number did this get to? It was top ten I'm sure.

[WireLad]

Indeed it was, very nearly got to the top spot. It went to #2 and stayed there for 3 weeks.

[morphine883]

What the hell is going on here?!

[EvilBlakey]

It's a spoof. "Neil" is a character from English sitcom The Young Ones. I think this song was from the Neils Heavy Metal Concept Album

[Farweasel]

EvilBlakey's right.

'Tho its actually an old hippy anthem by Traffic redone.

[JemmalouiseTiltman]

omg we watched this in my music lesson for some reason so blame mr rose

[Baargeld]

Sheeeshhh.. What year is this from???

Beside the Weller bit, the rest is just...just so forgettable.

[jackandmeg2001]

Not according to basically all of England for a time.

[mintyspace]

I love the Young Ones,they are awsome,best bastards on the planet,I liked their rendition of Livin Doll for Comic Releif,thought it was very funny,but can I just say,as a true Young Ones fan, I think this song is pants,it stinks, still interesting to watch though

[CwllPasty]

Woo The Young Ones And Neil ARE SO COOL :D

I have a hole in my shoe ;D

[grahamgregson]

im madly in love with neil (H)

[Verity1968Series2A]

Pure cash in! You rock Neil!

[2rijigtonlager]

I'd get a loan to pay someone to murder him.

This can't be real.

[smazogz]

Totally classic video, taken from Neil's Heavy Concept Album - which I still got on Vinyl - Was really HEAVY seeing it on TOTP on YouTube, GOOD ONE RON80s for this.

[SPeacock]

Has his "Heavy Concept" album been released on CD or SACD?

[authentic3]

[doomday666]

[Greenday678912345]

you can't download songs legally.

[keiran007]

what is this legal you speak of?

[mugglechops]

whats the bit about weller,surely not havin a pop at the mod father,if u know share it with me,i cant sleep

[mrspaulmertoniwish]

I like Nigel's version of "Hole in my Shoe," even though it is an odd song to be sung about. Of course Traffic's original was good, and I generally tend to prefer the originals, but I, personally, think Nigel Planer is very talented in so many ways and really like his version of the classic song.

[bostonbrawla]

Traffic's version was good? Dave Mason was a genius.

[artlovingkel]

Do you own "Neils's Heavy Concect Album" that has other songs besides Hole in my shoe..

Do you know where the other songs are ?

Kell

[demonhoopa]

I always meant to buy it (I was a big "Young Ones" fan). Never got around to it though.

[kjc03]

this is a great one tried to get it played on 98fm last year and they wouldnt play it said it was to naff

[sk8dude2000]

That brings back some memories! Cheers.

[mccoy4eva]

Oh, no, where am I?

Aw, no! I must be on top of the pops!

Oh, heavy!

[mauvecrayon]

Bad dubbing at 1.53,am sure he said ar*e

[GanzOben]

Oh wow. I remember this, brings back memories. Cheers for posting.

[rons80s]

No problem! Glad you appreciated it, otherwise it would have been left in my cupboard for the rest of my life!
