[christydgiff]

@thedayitriedtodie Is this a serious comment?

[rickedrick]

oh man i LOVE the mock turtles!

[guitardawg16]

Real funkin sad they make them cut their own song down to fit the tv show, then still cut short of the guitar solo. Channel 4 producers back then had no idea about music !!!

[wildenfree]

Yeah ..the best bit...gone!!!! twats

[dermot51]

@guitardawg16 ah haah! Steve (twat) Coogans brother on lead vocals i kid u not

[kinghabo9]

[MrNishi]

Oh yeah, I can dig it,

[themachman19691]

brilliant!nuff said

[brhodes0]

some good stuff on their albums as well, apart from this, a v interesting and excellent band live...

[simoncm46]

I remember them for their John Richmond outfits on Top of the Pops.

[marrason2]

there are some wicked moves being busted by the audience

[adzx73]

Inspirals were from Oldham, say no more lol

[talktal]

funny to see madchester bands in retrospective. seemed more like a lad subcutlrure than the shoegazers, who fit more an indie bill

[youngy105]

Who'd have thought Steve Coogan's brother would write such a classic tune like this. Awesome stuff.

[Garethfeb16]

i loved the word, they had real bands......

[izarac88]

just a shame terry the tool christian was involved!

[frillonandu]

im glad im listining to other baggy bands other than the roses and the mondays

[pikeman07]

Had many a FRiday night watching the Word - always great entertainment, and witnessed the best live performance on it when Whiteout made a (failed) bid for world domination!! If the programme had a fault - it was editing out great fuckin tunes like this!!

[iandecu]

Feels like only yesterday I was grooving to this down the local indie club - but looking at the outfits the audience are wearing - I think maybe I'm really old and it was years and years ago...

[Donkfest1]

Ver good. Pity they cut it before the solo - would have liked to have heard that live. He was just building up to it.

[wokingfc2]

can you dig it oh yeh,can you dig it oh yeh class

[wokingfc2]

ace love the mock turtles brings back great memories of the early 90s,these were a class band

[Ozyrus]

Respect to them being a decent band and playing live, not like so many mimers in this era.

[jackjude]

who mines now??? as in y'know 'bands'...not kiddie rubbish who mimed back then as well.

[johnthemonk]

you dont learn bass guitar,you either have it or not.

[Doca]

@johnthemonk

i take it, you never played an instrument in your life then?

[MikeyAceH]

Has anyone ever told you you're a twat Hufftika?

[ringadong]

This song inspired me to start learning bass guitar - amazing riff!

[gordonl]

I have a half inch reel of Ampex 406 liberated from PAsrish Bowman with Steve Coogan doing a Sylvester Stalonne impersonation and Judge Hapiines doing 20th Century Boy - is this a record?

[Hufftika]

Reminds me of them rubbish adverts for Vodacrap
