Lonnie Donegan - My Old Man's a Dustman

[Mrjochazzo]

What an amazing song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[englandwwfc]

stevieeee bulllls a tatter !!!

[dw69ful]

Any one know where this was recorded.?

I have a vague recollection it was recorded ( obviously live) during a concert in Doncaster.

Just curious

Brilliant song, great fun !!

[Quoman41]

I saw this guy live the day this record was released

[Keckacka]

It's original american? :/ It destroyed my hopes :( but I still love this song. In my ears forever! :D

[graham2ish]

I have seen him do this song live in Scarbrough

[gte113]

my old mans a dustman. most of us could say that in the old days. not today though, my old mans a computer programmer dont sound right.ps theres f*&k all wrong with good honest graft,not that the young scroats today would know anything about graft.

[simukeng]

@gte113

It would be my Old man's a Refuge Collector now though in this PC world. Lol

[onarollof4]

another funny song is Tennessee birdwalk

[TheTabellarius]

I take it most of the negative comments are coming from the English I'm sorry the whole country is suffering from Les-Fago Socialist brainwashing. Used to be a great country now it is just a pathetic laughing stock to the rest of the world.

[TheTabellarius]

@dannytudor789 I'm totally lost with both posts how did America & politicians get into this.

England has become the ultimate example of the thought police state. Small girls making statements like I don't want to become a" house person" PC for house wife! Female university students demanding classic sculptures removed for exploiting women.

Police who must act socially aware at all times & god forbid never never make an arrest lest they offend the perpetrator.

[sirrodneythedire]

trollolol the english are silly. hilarious.

Proper Legend

[firestartertwistedfi]

Ah, how this takes me back to school days!

[DobbyKing1]

so the phrase " proper 'nana" meant to be like Banana Split: 'Git' or am I getting that completely wrong? lol

[rakshasdragon]

@DobbyKing1 it means an idiot or crazy

[danny24498]

@DobbyKing1 You aint an Englishman are you

[DobbyKing1]

@danny24498 I'm from Somerset as it happens; on the other side of the country from East London. I was aware that 'nana' was slang for 'idiot' I was just wondering what the etymology was, whether it came from rhyming slang or something else. It was a fair question and I didn't mean to annoy you with my lack of knowledge on the matter but I've only ever heard it used by Londoners as we have different colloquialisms in the South West.

[danny24498]

@DobbyKing1 Oh no no dont worry i aint annoyed its just a shame the rest of the world cant be exposed to this kind of comedy Lonnie Donegan is a proper legend

[wrenchyification]

duke the dumbster drosie

[Dane1st]

Love this song. Always remember the first time my Dad put it on. The old 7inch single on the turntable. Bright yellow the record was too.

[krum118118]

Couldn't make this song anymore :( You have to call them refuge collectors :P

[weirdunclebob]

@krum118118 I reckon you mean 'refuse' collectors. But you're probably right. Not many people put bins out that are full of dust, anyway! We just call em Bin Men. I'd say Bin Persons but I've never heard of any Bin Women!

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@weirdunclebob Plus most people don't have dustbins anymore - they've nearly all been replaced with wheelie bins!

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@weirdunclebob There's nothing wrong with referring to a PARTICULAR collector as a binMAN if you know it is a man!

[dtr748]

They don't make 'em like this anymore. When were the good old days. I guess we all had our own.

[PlayForMeASymphony]

a happy song.....You have to smile just listening to it Thx Jimie, for the share 

[eddiebear100]

You gotta love this song.

[sneezepal]

Fun!

[pauljamesdoherty]

i love this song and im a dustman now haha

[FreshDrunk]

This song never fails to cheer me up and make me smile.

[SuperBIGTEL]

I done two years on the dust - loved it, was a good crack and so did my father, good honest work.

I don't think there ain't one who as not whistled this on a cold morning to get warmed up.

[samwhitecfc1]

good song and funny

[IVatworky]

I am a Texan

and I think things and people English are super cool, funny and intelligent.

and yeah, it is super hot here right now.

Keep being who you are, that's exactly who you are supposed to be.

[IVatworky]

I love me old man and always will!!!!

no matter the fuck what.

thats unconditional love, like he had to show for my dumbass many a time!

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

"My dustbin's full of lillies."

"Well, throw 'em away then."

"I can't - Lily's wearing 'em!"

[MyLaurat]

this song is magic, wheni'm homesick it makes the world good again!

[BarryGoldenBoy]

Apparantly they recorded this at the Gaumont in Doncaster !

I remember them playing this at the Belle Vue Stock Car racing meetings in 1960, it was one of my favourites !

Happy memories !

I was 5 at the time !

[TheMisshelen3]

oi all you small minded idiods that want to make a joke!

my dad was was a dustman for 42 years an i am proud! he died 2010 an i had this played at his funeral as "my old man was a dustman"

and what! u bunch af divs u have no idea and when you are earning as much as he was an have been there 42 years in the same job then you are entitiled to an opinion until then fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[berownesgirl]

@TheMisshelen3

Sorry To Here That Fuck The Dick That Make A Joke

[blackking7474]

@TheMisshelen3 sorry to hear that, totally agree with you my granddad was a postman for 50 years if he passed away in 2009. but things arnt the same amymore people dont stay in jobs for that period of time, sad really

[TheJohnnyZacchara]

@TheMisshelen3

Wow, I agree with this dude... You're all sick to make jokes about a song.. You're just little kids with a brain the size of a pee. How about you all grow up! You seriously all sicken me when people have a emotional asset to the song and all they see is people laughing/taking the piss out of a song.. It's bloody out of order

All of you, grow the f ucking hell up!

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@TheJohnnyZacchara Brain size doesn't affect intelligence - it's the amount of connections in it.

[ThaMahstah]

@TheJohnnyZacchara I don't. It's a fucking comedic song. Are we supposed to listen to this with solemn faces, and at the end, rise to salute the valiant sacrifices of dustmen everywhere?

Let people make their jokes.

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@TheJohnnyZacchara How big a pee is it? If you've had a few pints it could be a very big one!

[onarollof4]

@Inkyminkyzizwoz ... someone thinks they can make a funny. ...fail

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@onarollof4 I was trying to point out that it should be PEA, not PEE!

[ericartwo1]

@TheMisshelen3 I endorse your comments! You should be proud of your Dad! A lot of idiots on here probably could not hold a job for 42 DAYS, never mind 42 years! My father worked in the pits as did all our neighbours and they all came home with black coal dust on the rims of their eye-lids.

[midwfr]

@TheMisshelen3

Good on you, hope my daughter will have something nice to say about me when I pass.

[Badgerinthenight]

@TheMisshelen3 Everyone is entitled to an opinion, whether you agree with it or not. You can't believe in free speech but only believe in it for yourself, it's all or nothing.

[Badgerinthenight]

Anyone who spends their entire working life collecting refuse.. is boring as fuck. Should be a means to an end nothing more unless you have 0 personality.

[jajceboy]

OMG Johnny Zacchara and Misshelen, this is a comedic song, you know!

It's meant to entertain people, otherwise they wouldn't laugh to it. You can even hear people laugh in the recording as well, because it is funny. Not meant to be a serious song.

Just because you take it seriously , for some reason, doesn't mean we should take it seriously as well. And that doesn't make us idiots either.

It just means that we have a sense of humour, and you apparently have not.

[beatlesandbeyond]

@irelandsnumber1

your old mans a coward

Oh, Owen was a Geordie, he wore a scouser's hat, but when he saw old trafford, he said he fancied that, he went for breakfast with Fergie, he was fucking happy, but Fergie's the one whose laughing because he got that cunt for free (sang with this song's tone)

[JFredUK]

What exactly are, 'Gor Blimey', trousers?

[Iberotimuka]

@JFredUK I would presume it just means you look at them and say cor dear, like they in an awful state

[unclemort1960]

@JFredUK i should imagine they are the sort that finish way above the ankle

[danny24498]

@JFredUK There trousers that are so worn or funny lookin they make you say something like:2Gor Blimey yer trousers are knackered"

[irapedyourgoat]

Oh, Fabio da Silva, he comes from Brazil

He tackles hard, he's fast as fuck and he's got loads of skill

He joined Man United, to play on our left wing

[MsLoveMusic1997]

[maccalex]

John Lennon did a sample of this in G. Look on Youtube for John Lennon "Sea Ditties"

[Suedercraig]

i had to be the dustman in a school play mine was: "oh i'm your friendly dustman, i wear a dustman's hat. it's 2 days after christmas and i'm feeling far too fat. i'v eaten to much turkey and drunk up to much wine and now i can't stop *burp* burping all the time.

[alan50able]

very jolly

[vipermav656]

To MrClassicDoctorWho - yea fucking right ur great uncle didn't write it Lonnie Donegan wrote it u stupid cunt ur full of shite u bullshiter

[VIPHighlander]

clearly 37 people think there is no humour to be derived from dustmen...

[sunsdomain]

first time I ever heard this... where has Lonnie Donegan been all my life? :-)

And what if you please are Gorblimey trousers? Someone out there...Enlighten me.

[tigertonten]

@sunsdomain

"Gorblimey" trousers, as in "Cor (or Gor) blimey, you're not going out wearing them are u?

Cor Blimey, or Gor Blimey is a conraction of an old English imprecation, "God blind me". Often also said as "Cor blimey, stone the crows"

[sunsdomain]

@tigertonten Thanks Tigertonten... LOL

[OreWaUsopp]

@tigertonten

Actually, Cor Blimy Trousers was slang for Corduroy pants, specifically =p

[tigertonten]

@OreWaUsopp Are you absolutely sure? All 4 of my Grandparents were Cockneys, and they referred to any high waisted baggy trousers as "Gor blimey" trousers. perhaps it originally meant corduroy, but I fail to see the connection, why should corduroy deserve the epithet "Gor Blimey?" Can you explain?

[SaveItForTheBATHROOM]

i always used to listen to this when i was about 8/9 :D

[matthewrobinsonsz]

i heard this in school

[RocknrollaMW]

My old man use to sing this to me when I was a kid, quality!

[glamrockerqueen1]

I saw him do this a Palladium Royal Performance and he put an extra verse in. 'One days whilst in a cafe, he splilt a milkmans tea, Dad was gonna sort im out but he was six foot three, Dad said he was sorry - apologised of course, but when he got outside the cafe he, kicked the milkmans horse!' Great performer and artiste.

[tovell3]

this gives me an idea of when some people had no shame because no one cared what others thought, but they had a good time whatever happened, my dad is always singing it.

im 15, suppose to be a teenager, still liking elvis presely and thing, sclub7 is the closest thing to modern..., i blame and thank my dad :)

[deadlyram2k6]

@tovell3 sclub 7 suck ass big time/

[tovell3]

@deadlyram2k6 im sorry, aren't yu being a tad rude?

gosh, so why does it suck?, because you say they can't sing, you are probably a horrible singer, but yes, we all hav ot opians, (good or bad..., shame)

[deadlyram2k6]

@tovell3 Nah, not even being rude. Just common sense that there are such better modern bands/tunes/singers.

[tovell3]

@deadlyram2k6 yeah i agree, some modern singers i hat, like lady gaga, she can't sing so she has to show her body, that's digusting.

but i still thinkk Sclub7 is good, they don't show off there body, they are great with out music and here songs have meaning.

and if you don't think there good, try Martina Mcbride,, best singer ever, no one hates her.

thanks for you opian
