[poppa8169]

Wow I just heard this baseline last week, Ornette Coleman 1959 "Ramblin" a jazz alblum! He was just like todays hip hopsters listened to all kinds of music and sampled it. But at least this was a band.

I love that Ian Dury is a cripple and he wrote this song! Like when people think, Sex, Drugs, And Rock and Roll, they think of people like Lou Reed, and Rod Stewart, And Mick Jagger, but never do you think of a crippled British man who looks homeless. Ian Dury is awesome!

[eyelivehere]

Charley Charles...RIP...one one of the best drummers around.

[AlanTTT3]

Huh - the guitarists also do girly backing vocals?

[WinchesterRanger]

I see that his solar powered musical bench has been vandalized beyond repair by the sad and tawdry scum that infest the British Isles these days.

Dury came from a better era, a better Britain.

[SubjectToConditions]

Fuckin hell how good was he?

[electricfringe]

[WrayMadrama]

@joshjs667 Punk poet is right, but what a funky band! Spot on.

[fant9m]

11 Years today since this legend died.

[batistaker123]

Three essentials of life :)

[redredreds100]

I'm not a blooming thickie

[nevasmile1]

i never knew funk and punk could mix?

[BootyFister]

@nevasmile1 This music is so many levels above punk. To call it punk would be an insult. Go hate somewhere else.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@BootyFister:

C´mon Booty, were you at that time in Europe back then experiencing it all or were we?

Punk is a term describing a feeling -not necessarily defining the type music which is played,e.g.Prince had also a very"punky"style first.

Glad your like the track but spare us please your semantic"judgements"!

I´d also say that i generally mistrust commentators here on YT who have only gamer stuff in their uploads+then even with gross aminé faces...brrrrh...

Americans speak other English.

[BunnysSwedishWinter]

@MrSKINFLICK I was "punk" in the late 70's & loved Ian Drury & the BLockheads (?>>) what up?

[MrSKINFLICK]

@BootyFister:...."or animé faces"....couldn´t care less....even worse than "punk"....LOL

[MrSKINFLICK]

@BootyFister:...by the way Mistah Fistah ? Who hates here - you or nevasmile1. He´s got 8 likes.....

[MrSKINFLICK]

@BootyFister:

......and now nevasmile received the 9th like....by ME !

You can come back again + call me hater, too !

[BootyFister]

@MrSKINFLICK ????

[RubHerSoul1]

@nevasmile1 Sure can. Just ask the Clash.

[nevasmile1]

@RubHerSoul1 point taken

[gangioramone]

@nevasmile1 Never heard Red Hot Chili Peppers!?!?!

[MARCUO]

@gangioramone yes? and what???

did you heard led zeppelin? deep purple? jimmy hendrix? iron maiden? ac-dc? black sabbath? ramones????

[gangioramone]

@MARCUO And what?

[chunc16]

@nevasmile1 - Red Hot Chili Peppers started as a punk band, and their first few albums were seriously funky, especially before Hillel died. It takes a great amount of musical talent to fuse genres, and Ian Dury certainly has it.

[clockworkmike83]

@nevasmile1 Wouldn't it be Phunk?

[emremokoko]

@nevasmile1 it's "new wave" :)

[rem3sat]

Fresh!

[gothschild]

marvelous!

[SoulamSee]

tight as a fuck. Love that tune....

[SequitoBanda]

Now I understand that interlude in "Ritual De Lo Habitual", by Jane's Addiction.

[bigboss25262]

Ian Dury is the shit.

[lagerandwine]

I`ve seen a million vids on utube, commented on a thousand sometimes provocative, but this is the best. I`m a dead hard bastard who fights anyone, but this reduces me to tears. (dont tell no one)

[Olekrok]

who is playing guitar ?

[patbassbyrne]

@Olekrok John Turnbull and Chaz Jankel

[sydferret]

saw them in Oxford '79, wild time but they had to stop near the end due to crazy baldheads.

[wookiewhat]

@sydferret skinheads ruined all the great music, they ruined madness, ian dury and heaps of others. the clash were one of the only ones to forcefully resist skinheads

[sydferret]

@wookiewhat Yeah, I never did understand what that was about.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@sydferret: You bet.....LOL 

[MrSKINFLICK]

@wookiewhat: Nonsense.

[jimbrown257]

It just occured to me who Ian Dury looks like; he looks like Tony Curtis' demented half-brother.

[skepticarpenter]

brings back very foggy memories!!!! wow how did I make it his far?

[waltzbabywaltz]

@skepticarpenter wolfgang?

[nittenboys]
