[Hot80s]

[ElioDelRIo]

He's got more than a little captain in him.

[MrG0p0p]

A good example of the British love of the absurd. Got to like the dig at Adam Ant as well :)

[RodrigoBorgia]

damn..i know that song sionce it was released, and like it since then, have it even in the car.BUT: i was convinced that the singer is a cool black badass. And now I see its a hyperactive, skinny neurotic whity. Well ok, at least he has same trousers as I used to wear...

[dejoker35]

i  like his song it is good. he should be in hollywood

[dejoker35]

[Barboutzis]

Once a lifetime twice a day if you don't work you get no pay....Hmmmm. I think he's onto something there :{

[fredericetcorinne]

crasy or not crazy?

[Schiller153]

Is this John Cleese behind the girls??

[wcjtrio]

@Schiller153 I'm afraid it's just a look alike, i thought so too at the beginning but i Googled it, and after all, the internet knows everything!

[MrShrimpy119]

[trololomosher]

Woooot!? Is that John Cleese?

[beetlesqausher223]

I saw this video on at TV screen in a restaurant, and the reason why i'm watching it here is because of the awesome bass line

[notanaddict26123]

einfach geil! die gute alte zeit

[skoumprakis]

Τι κομματάρα ρε φίλε

[Hot80s]

1:24 nothin' cooler than pushing adam ant out of the way.

[DancingSpiderman]

@Hot80s Yeah, that was satisfying.

[brmanuk]

@jaytv777 true but to be fair the bassline from rappers delight is taken from the disco song 'good times'

[fountoukiotis]

true lyrics :D

[Todesessenz]

Lammbock =)

[lianjie1963]

whatever became of dolly mixture?

[exabyterra1]

wot???

[spankywonderland]

My best years...

[johnjsturman]

From one of the very first Punk bands (The Damned) to one of the very first Rappers!

[kemicon]

@johnjsturman New York Dolls, the Ramones, even the Saints formed well before the Damned. the Damned were from the 100 club scene that included Generation X etc.. Peter Tosh did the first well known 16 bars on Get up Stand up which came out in 1973 but some say toasting, or DJing or MCing was already going on even earlier. So you're sort of right in that they were part of the early popularity of the two but to say "one of the very first" is to stretch things a bit too far IMHO.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@kemicon:...rant rant....yawn.....

[kemicon]

@MrSKINFLICK haha I bored you so much you took the time to reply. too funny.

[BlackMonk66]

@kemicon The might be part of the early popularity of Punk, since the Dolls weren't too popular anywhere, but Rap had been popular for several years. The Sugarhill Gang had been recording since 79. The Clash and Blondie did Rap songs in 80 and early 81. This was more like a parody of a genre that had already become a trendy influence among contemporary punk and new wave bands.

[quarkwrok]

@kemicon "New York Dolls, the Ramones, even the Saints formed well before the Damned" and Pink Fairies, Sweet, Alice Cooper and Hawkwind formed before all of them, what's your point? So wot!

[borisbulldog]

The cockney accent on the maids makes me give this song 2 thumbs up!

[jaytv777]

wow never realised what a MASSIVE bit of plagerism the bass line was from rappers delight..it's pretty much 2 notes different..go captain!!

[MrLollopot]

best song ever... I said wot?

[Cruzycuzz]

crap!!

[BiffChunksteak]

@Cruzycuzz Indeed it is. And the finest crap in the kingdom at that, good sir!

[wainochi]

Lol wut?!



[fraterlucifer888]

I used to have a friend who said that she dated captn sensible, sd she came home and he was wearing one of her dresses,,,,,lol

I sd wot?lol really what do you expect from the captain? lol

love this song

[BotheringDeep]

80ties crap, but still a childhood remembrance... :D

[DAVEYBOND007]

Great Bassline or What??



[elfphil1]

Basil Fawlty is the main character of the British sitcom Fawlty Towers, played by John Cleese.

[Giumbolo1970]

BEGLI ANNI 80 !!!!!!!!

[dsweetla]

Ok, is that tall hotelier played by Monty Python actor John Cleese? It sure the hell looks like him...

[AK2927]

@dsweetla No, it's a Basil Fawlty lookalike.

[AnthonysDen]

Even with this memorable tune & his equally memorable Christmas song 'One Christmas Catalogue', Captain Sensible was very unfairly underrated in the music world. Sometimes those in the music business wouldn't know great talent if it came up & bit them in the ass!

[JesseDark101]

@AnthonysDen Looking at his amazing guitar work for The Damned I totally agree

[Toranaboy634]

@AnthonysDen I don't know about "unfairly" underrated. Fairly underrated I reckon about sums up the Captain's amusing career, post Tennille of course:)

[AnthonysDen]

@Toranaboy634 You may be right. But no matter how one puts it, Captain Sensible had such talent & did not get the recognition he rightfully deserved. Needless to say, he more than should have.

[AphoticSeraph]

This really needs to be the next rickroll.

[Reimerink]

Does anybody know if the girls on the backing vocals are the same as the girls who sing with Paul Young?

[AK2927]

@Reimerink Do you mean the blonde and brunette who sang with Young as The Royal Family? I always wondered who they were - two stunnas. I saw them on The Tube with him back in the day and recently on a clip from a kids' Saturday morning TV show, hosted by Sandi Toksvig of all people. Any clues as to the identity of Paul Young's backing singers?

[jconder45]

1:28, is that Adam Ant?

[josielpontocom]

The "snake-dance" was taken from "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"?

Btw, the machine operator looks like "Captain" Lou Albano!

[motocostaone]

i played with him on sestu for the first of may , he told me actually my english is very good

[DefinitelyNotErica]

wot

[hildaatje]

Is that Bananarama in the back?

[PonyExpressMD]

@hildaatje The backup singers were a short lived group called Dolly Mixture.

[hildaatje]

@PonyExpressMD

Oh,right!Thanks for the info.

They do sound like Bananarama,don,t you think?

[Gool349]

nice glasses

[altobeni]

Seit zig Jahren ganz groß.

[dontango1000]

saugeiles ding. und das vid is auch super...

[Bonfirenight27]

@jztoon Yes - this is true - I have it on a tape somewhere and was very surpised to hear it at the very end (you need the volume up on full)

[alopezfasanella]

i love this video more then any of you niggas !!!

[DalstonKingsland]

It got a lot of airplay at the time (being the follow up to the dreadful number one "Happy Talk") but only made No.26 in the U.K. Should have been a bigger hit though.

[focas777]

Hey Captain I'm so SENSIBLE you know ???

[tck661s]

best part of this song is when it ends.

[KenPSmoothe]

@tck661s WOT!??!!? BULLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rvkan]

Best part is when he throws Adam Ant to the floor.



[goducks20101]

The good captain broke this out in Anaheim, Ca last year during The Damned concert; he seemed surprised that we sang along. Good music travels far and fast.

[TheChinaRider]

just get up and dance....

[joanjett17]

I think I love this song.

[ThinYoghurt1]

@ertznay - the backing vocals are by Dolly Mixture (the ladies in the tabards) who had some minor successes of their own.

[cacasapo]

Wot

[5149caper]

I've been looking for this my whole life!

[Ragnaroegg2]

From the Album "Captains and women first" - unforgettable

[fackorf]

@postyesterdayman - it was a hit , it charted at number 26, admittedly not top 10 but still respectable enough.

[gunneddown213]

RIP Gerald LeVert (1966-2006) and Sean LeVert (1968-2008)

[ertznay]

Are Bananarama providing backup vocals for this?

[masonokamikaze]

They've just played this on Radio 1 Mauritius which is an Adult "Contemporary" station!!! lol

[GeorgeFromNY]

Sensible's a wanker!!!

[thefungarian]

This song is so underrated.

[dreaminvasion]

@thefungarian agreed, I'm doing my best to bring it back as a meme XD

[allergyforsun]

Captain was a member of the legendary punk band The Damned.

[saanzacs]

THE CAPTAIN IS IN!!!!!!

[Antonio50441]

De puta madre colegas , esto si es musica

[MrRobotcock]

[garymacmillan]

One only needs 100 things in life like this to make it worth while

[perstandups]

[ronaldvanderkleij]

Wide Open Throttle

[retrorichie80s]

[SPXclothing]

[DAVEYBOND007]

Pure Class. The Bassline Awesome ! Long Live The 80's this is what we are missing today with the mass produced media friendly shit. The Damned.

[MrMisterbest1]

fu**ing groovy bass-line!!! i want the tabs :D

[dakarlion1]

Novelty-rap from Captain Sensible of The Damned. Infectious!

[Mundlimup]

Captain Sensible ... I dunno whether you'll agree with me ... but ... doesn't he sound a bit flat ... at about ... 2.26?

[smiauxx]

Heavy music!

[levertrevel]

this sounds just like Rapper's Delight by Sugar Hill Gang

I would say this tune is a duplicate

Shame!

[MoveOverCasanova]

if only john cleese would have appeared in this, not jus a double!!!

[innit27]

another great bass song

[Khultan]

LOL what a great video!! : )

[meust67]

Même à 17 ans cette chanson parait légendaire !!

[discocreator76]

Bit of a play on the Chic's Good TImes bassline there lol!

[aforest86]

cap'tn was a 1 hit wonder, but great though like many of the '80's

just a few remain great up to now. u2, the cure, depeche mode, ...

[fackorf]

@aforest86 Two hit wonder really with Happy Talk being the other.

[postyesterdayman]

@fackorf Um, this wasnt a hit, but Glad It's All Over was.

[fackorf]

@postyesterdayman - It was a top 30 hit mate, number 26, not the giddy heights of Happy Talk or indeed Glad it's all over ( forgot about that ) but still a hit.

[ilgomar4]

@aforest86 if only new order stuck around :(

[eroloran]

@aforest86 He's done pretty well with a little band called The Damned.

[inspiralroses]

@aforest86 Think before you write. If you only take "Wot" and from that you call CS a one-hit-wonder, then you know very, VERY little about CS. His WHOLE oeuvre is a wonder. You didn't do your homework, mate ...
