I rushed out as a kid to find this track with no luck, it wasn't a single or on any album at the time. Genius. I bought the Black Album anyway. And then all the others.
I saw this on the Young Ones when it first came out. A good Damned track slightly interupted by the comedy show on which it appeared but worth seeing in this form.
They played this at Whitby Goth last night... I was beside myself. A marriage of two of my favourite things in life. And Dave held the microphone to me to do the "Careful with that axe you meanie!" bit! :'D
I remember looking like Dave Vanian when I was 18 and terrifying kids n old grannies :O This brings back really great memories for me ha ha ha ha Great song too. Pity that arsehole and complete twat Alexi sayle is in this. He's about as funny as a burning orphanage !!
@CRASS4CLASS10 Thanks! I met him too but not near the bar, unfortunately ... would've been ace to have a drink with him! I met Dave too, which was an experience and a half since I have the hugest crush on him...
The Young Ones has changed my life so much. I used to love the Damned as a kid but kind of left that music scene for metaller stuff until I started watching this ... and remembered about the Damned! I'm now completely obsessed with them. And comedy.
@VredesStal Tim Burton is responsible for the look, not Depp. Dave Vanian isn't the first to have that look, either. Just watch some of the classic horror movies from the '20's and '30's. Besides, Depp was playing in a rock band as a teenager around the same time Vanian started the Damned, so it's not fair to call him a poser.
@ForwardN2Unknown no he wasnt dave vanian and co started the damned in 1976 depp would have been a little boy then and by tim burtons own admission dave vanians look was completely ripped off for the film,vanian is now 53yrs old....
Wonderful wonderful track and a great performance. Only spoiled by the appearance of "Cashwad Communist" Alexi Sale !! Wonder if he ever makes it to Liverpool these days ??? I've never seen him. If he was a comedian I'm the fucking Pope :P
The Damned and Motorhead playing Ace Of Spades were the best Young ones guest bands... watching this back in the 80's as a little kid is what got me into the Damned.
it's good that they don't because people would just label it as a spin off of the young ones, i think it should be left here in the 80s.....although it would be good to see rik mayall and ade edmondson write another sitcom like this and bottom cos that would be brilliant
i sent you a pinch of shit, for 'tis all i can afford... and it will be sorely missed
