Knackers to Beiber!

Neil is better than any modern plastic singer!

I'm having one of these days again, where you ask yourself: "How did I find this?"

No seriously I was searching videos about MUSHROOMS!

[babymoondancer]

I love big dumb Neil. He's hilarious.

[timepoet77]

Is this the one where Neil says, "Oh wow, I think there's something wrong with my voice"? If it is, then boy do I remember this well.

[j7609]

BRILLIANT.

LONG LIVE NEIL.

FUNNIEST BIT IS AT: 2:57

LOL.

[BethMayallMcQueen]

15 people have a hole in their shoe

[Gjeorje]

What Young Ones character was the presenter at the end?

[guitardeadsociety]

I'm only 15, but my dad used to play this song for me when I was little and I just remembered about it, because I had a nightmare about it! Hahhaa. This thing is crazy! But the version that my dad used to play for me had him talking about corn flakes and eating cheese he found under the stove...? I can't find that version. But it was deffinitely this cover because it had the apology to his shoes for stepping on them. Lmao

[OhLookBirdies]

@guitardeadsociety That's the version found on Neil's Heavy Concept Album, which they made after this single version was unexpectedly successful.

[terrythecensor]

I first came across Neil in 1986. I was a Canadian doing Spring Break in Florida. Neil was hosting MTV and did dour little monologues, showed clips, and sang "Hole In My Shoe." I had never heard of the Young Ones but became intrigued and sought them out on the CBC (I also have some VHS that no one will watch with me).

North American needs The Young Ones.

[joannepsi]

I love the fact TOTP didn't even attempt to hide the fact everyone was miming.

[shanzy96]

he prefers HuRdY gUrDy MuShRoOm MaN though :))))))))

[shanzy96]

my dupid daddy favourite song

( hi shoes )

xx =]

[JB22881]

boring, hes only funny in the young ones or being knocked about by the other young ones!

[squizzoo]

The is what people who are stoned look like to those of us who don't smoke pot or do drugs. Funny thing is when they are stoned they think they are so smart and cool.

LOL

[MrWojti98]

[JAYDENPETROVSKI]

I Always felt sorry for Neil,

The others were so mean to him,

I actually cried when it was his birthday on the young ones, and none of them even acknowleged him :(

[cronauer1985]

[Xcorgi]

@cronauer1985 Is that similar to the Polar Bear song that Queen did before Freddy joined?

[cronauer1985]

@Xcorgi no , ive found it on here its called hurdy gurdy mushroom man , weird i know.

[lewisner]

Happy days.Nigel Planer was so funny!

[TheBillfer]

@TheShaggyDA it was lol

[gamehound83]

@TheShaggyDA Yeah thats what he said

[PM1970]

@TheShaggyDA "clothes" was not overdubbed - if you listen to the original by Traffic, the lyrics are the same :)

[BraprodaliDveHutacev]

[iateyourmomsdog]

[wotdoesthisbuttondo]
