Joe Dolce - Shaddup You Face (1980)

[CelticReject]

I wonder what he is doing now. I hope that he is rich and happy! Gave a lot of people a lot of smiles. How many of us can say that??

[chewie211171]

Still a classic 30 odd years on !!!!!

[Milesco]

Love this song! I remember hearing it decades ago on the Dr. Demento show.

But I have to ask -- what the hell happened at the end? You cut it off before it was finished! Like coitus interruptus! "It's a nice-a place, ah, shaddap you fa__"

WTF???

[nzoz1980]

@Milesco i don't know

[Milesco]

@nzoz1980 Oh, well...thanks for replying, anyway.

[roadhouse67]

I remember this song in England when I was 8. Thanks for posting this.

[FOX9746]

Great Aussie comedy song from 1980. it paved the way for Austen Tayshus Rodney Rude and the 12th Man later on that decade.

[grizzlaxful]

The late, great Lou Monte's version has always been better.

Sorry, Joe.

[Dashland13]

WOW...LOL...I never knew it was that huge. I doubt I can even find anyone where I liv e who even remembers this. Thanks everyone for getting back to me with those answers to my question.

[jubjub2112]

Big accordion solo . . .

[dada1pa]

Oddio, chi si ricorda? Era la sigla di apertura di "io vedo CTS" , TV privata di Palermo. Che spasso quelle serate!

[Medic83301]

The 10 people that hate this song should shaddup their face !

[southport97]

Still annoying today as it was in the early 80s.

[gallafey]

do't he look like Doctor #9 Christopher Eccleston 

[elmobjr97]

Absolutley disgusting that this could be classed as better than ultravox's vienna....

[2spaceace]

@elmobjr97 i could not agree more with you!

[plusone19]

@elmobjr97 Vienna actually sold more copies in the end, it was the highest selling record to not reach #1 in the UK in 1981 (#5 for the year)

[AdiRudi]

Biggest selling Aussie single ever... :-)

[TheLadyjazzy1]

i forgot about this song!! funny!!!

[FortGuide]

kept Ultravox's "Vienna" from number one, so moan every time i hear it lo =)

[FortGuide]

kept ultravox's "vienna" from getting to number one, so moan every time i hear it lol =)

[culwin]

Hey, I think I've heard this on Dr. Demento... never knew who sang it

[crowsonatv]

this was 1981 by the way..gr8 song :)

[nzoz1980]

@crowsonatv

it began in Australia in 1980 and took off in your country the following year.

[crowsonatv]

@nzoz1980 ahhh yess i was watching top of the pops 1981 with peter powell...this song beat an even greater tune ultravox vienna to no.1-ultra came no.2

[nerdflanders8710]

@crowsonatv it was number one 18th december 1980 , so shuddup you fac.

[Dashland13]

@nerdflanders8710 this reached #1??? IN what country??

[nerdflanders8710]

@Dashland13 in australia and new zeraland, google it and shuddapa yo face.

[plusone19]

@Dashland13 and in the UK... it infamously kept "Vienna" by Ultravox at #2 for 3 weeks

[OxSketchxO]

Epic.

[yarekhunt]

Holy Crap! I haven't heard this since it was on the radio!  Thanx for the total flash back! Well done!

[Footfetishperson]

"HEY!" "One more time for mamma everybody!" "It's a not so bad!" LOL! Epic one hit wonder classic!

[chookna]

Brilliant. I loved this as a child.

[RONANTHEROCKET]

al togather now! HEY!

[pavelsteidl1]

@nzoz1980! I'm also searching for this songs: "Emabakia" from MANRAY and "Learning to see" from Steve Powell. Where I can find them? I'm from Argentina and I love this music! Thanks!

[nzoz1980]

@pavelsteidl1

Hi Pavelsteid,

thank you for the kind comments about our music. To be honest, I do not know the where abouts of the three songs you are searching for. I haven't heard of Steve Powell. Sorry...

[pavelsteidl1]

@nzoz1980 Well Thanks anyway!! I also watch your Jimmy and the boys video "I'm not like everybody else" Wonderful!!!! Have you heard the song EMABAKIA from MANRAY? Thanks!

[pavelsteidl1]

Hi @nzoz1980! Your videos are awesome!!!! I'm from Argentina and I love the music from Australia and New Zealand from the early 80s. I listened to this music on JackMcCoy's surf film STORMRIDERS!!! I'searching for Joe Dolce's Song STICK IT OUT. This song was in the movie but it wasn´t in the soundtrack album!! Thanks!!!

[R1V0N]

lovely song xD its funny

[bized097]

accordian solo FTW :D

[Eddie62070]

WOW!!...1980...takes me back to 5th grade

[tracy71091]

joe is an australianism its short for guiseppe pronounced juiseppe. as far as I know having been around when the song was released it was just for fun.

[shaynaokane]

who is giuseppe

[Gamer9925]

him

[mulryanc]

wtf is up with guy who through the pizza

[nzoz1980]

the song got to him in a deep-emotional way...

[mulryanc]

haha sure did, in an annoying way

[nzoz1980]

I've been corresponding with the man who made this video (the unknown legend named Chris Lofven) for a couple of years now. I might ask him what the story was with the pizza throwing idiot.

[mulryanc]

yeh do that would be interesting

[StephanNH]

Would be cool to know!

[Czerniakowska]

"through"?

[gallafey]

Joe Dolice looks a bit like Doctor Who #9 Christapher Eccleston

[LoveHeartLogicHead]

An ode to masochism perhaps?

[14inchjohnson]

with tha bad a boys gysepy hahah

[JSTAGRL4U22]

hysterical

[Dazzler1977]

Manuel from Fawlty Towers was supposed to release this but this was released first just before he was going to release it

[nzoz1980]

Joe Dolce did not want Manuel to make the song a hit in England (which would have been very likely); so he raced to get the song released in the UK before Manuel got the chance to record it. Consequently, Joe Dolce scored a # 1 hit in the UK and is has been hated by Ultravox fans ever since.

[agwoodliffe]

Classic!

[Livinglifehigh]

hay "shaddup you face"

[alecahauf]

This shite kept Ultravox's Vienna at number 2 in the UK charts. i don't even knew one numpty that bought it unless they all kept it a secret.

[Bregelad]

Hmm - see the problem is, tough I really don't like the song, surely it was the numpties who DIDN'T buy 'Vienna' who kept it off the number one spot?

[JeanMFernandes]

Hahaha my mom sings the chorus all the time. I didn't know it was a real song till I came across this!

[TheTinycat]

best song ever lol

[damafiaking]

this song is an aussie favourite

[555bzona]

Just think that this "stupid" song it was a worldwide success, the guy sold millions and got rich.

[nzoz1980]

and lost it all! But he is still going - he has a couple of his latest vidoes up on youtube.

[CanUDigItSucka109]

awesome vid, dude. Joe Dolce rocks

[ronrest]

Pretty good sounding Italian even though he's an Aussie.

[nzoz1980]

actually, he's an American who took up residency in Australia during the late 70's and had since taken up citizenship.

And he is of Italian descent, so I'm sure he'd know his subject very well.

[smezian]

I thought he was from Essex? iss a nice place?

[lukeycb123]

Whassamatta you? Gotta no respect? Whaddaya think you do? Why you looka so sad? It's-a not so bad. It's-a nice-a place. Shaddap you face!

[Viking8450]

on of my frinds always plays this in his car, on the way to school. Great way to start the day

[marcelnz]

in 1980 i sent a single to a radio station in holland (all the way from new zealand) and I said ; they should have a listen to this song : )

they mailed me back saying : we're commercial and we can not play stuff like this ...duhhh

[ProudandVain]

This is the coolest song I've ever heard!=) I've tried to copy his accent, but that's impossible - Joe's #1 and he's just unique ;)

[TheGodParticle]

Its hard to believe that this kept ultravox, vienna off the no1 slot. Gahh...no justice in the world, even back then...

[oneguycoding]

Did this really happen, I seem to vaguely remember this ... how did those 27 years go by so quickly?

[charliethefbi]

As Joe Dolce will say shaddup you face

[xthlittlemermaidx]

SHADDUP YOU FACE!!!!

[lifeisace]

Joe

Its jolly, funny and may I say just a tad quirky

Are you still alive Joe

[jonnythehobo]
