thanks for uploading remember hearing this in 77 it was a brilliant single then but sadly the beeb didnt like it so didnt get the air play it should 'ave but then again they never liked any of the the new bands (punk if you like but they wern't known as punk to start with) coming out at the time..they did have one shining light though tucked away at night who challenged the rubbish they spewed out..the late great john peel..rip..

[dortyhoor]

This tune is just so bloody great, Ive never bored of it.

[hebesphenomegacorona]

yo utopianhearts do you have any idea where i could get this song/album? it's GOOD

[stakka79]

It is "Father sends his regards to you..."

And, of course, its a Molatov Cocktail.

Its about contact with his mother.

[punksnotdead1977]

Had a various artists album years ago and this was on it along with "can I crash here" and another track called "civilization". Bought a best of the Flys cd recently and "civilization" is not on it, gutted as it was my favourite track. If anybody has it could they possibly upload it.

[andclu68]

Buy Wakiki Beach refugees cd on ebay has bonus tracks including Civilisation. Hope this helps!

[ashtree50]

The list of English bands who got no recognition is ever growing. Makes you sick all things considered.

[marchadier1]

Seen a few coments about the 'Bunch of fives' ep on Youtube, and have the vinyl, but still cant find 'me and my buddies' (my favourite track on the ep) on here. Can anyone out there upload this at all please?

Was always a big fan of the Flys. Eventually saw the guys live at Cardiff uni back in the 70s, Neil was great with me and took me backstage to meet the rest of the guys....fun city..thank you guys, loved your music.

[HelicopterHoneymoon]

Great tune, one of my favorites. Very catchy, poignant. I wasn't around back then (I'm 27!) but this song speaks to me in profound ways.

[kundalini62]

I was a big fan of The Flys and saw them live at Cardiff Uni in the early 80s thin k they were supporting the ramones? the ruts? or maybe the boys were involved? but anyway it was a great set, really tight and I sapoke to Neil later who took me to the dressing room, introduced me to the rest of the guys and had a good old chat with me. Was in my late teens at the time and Neil called me a "fly fanatic". Thank you guys i loved the music...ATB David an old punk rocker..

[davepx]

One of the greatest singles of all time from one of the most underrated bands of punk's second wave. I can vouch for what raymondlang says, they were thrilling live. Three great Peel sessions too, which the useless BBC persists in keeping from us, doubtless demanding an extortionate release fee.

RIP Pete King. Whenever anyone hears those opening beats, you're always there.

[cossack207]

damn right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deadgumby]

Please post more Flys!!! I can't find this anywhere but Amazon and they are Satan and don't get my money.

[sapping4spy]

lol satan xD god?? was is this can i eat it??

religions for war!!

[Katharmax]

You can try Captain OI! Records, I think they're based in the UK

[raymondlang]

This is the first band I ever saw live,and I will NEVER forget their awesome talent playing live. They were supporting John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett around late 70s.

[deepfield23]

thanks for the upload! =]

[riki66]

nice video and good song,we have this song recorded,and we're preparing a new video :molotov cocktail -pvc punkband

my best!

[minutegongcoughs]

Essential single.

[nrjan]

Great song ! Still proud to be the owner of the original 7" which I don't sell!!

Well, maybe for 1/2 a million or so..

[C1B9G7B4]

probably the best punk song ever!

[windmills20]

one of them for sure

[marquisxdesade]

Thanks for this video, I really loved this song when I was a teenager.

[stev1963hit]

Waikiki waikiki waikiki waikiki waikiki waikiki waikiki...beach refugeeeeeeeeezzzz-cheers brother-classic tune and you're spot on about influences too-75% of the best of todays corking young indie bands sound as if theyve been jetted straight in from 77-78.Back then we were told 'our' music would be forgotten or laughed at within a few years-but here we are 3 decades on & theres No Age,Twisted Wheel,The Filthy Youth,Times New Viking etc-where's tony fuckin blackburn now!!

[xxxVoodoou22xxx]

Hey Neil! ...how totally weird is this ....million years ago ...and yet , it could be yesterday ....Joe bangin away on the bass ...

[caledoniangeezer]

Check out Neil O'Connor of the Flys' sister Hazel O'Connor; singing her version of the song. You'll find it in my video list.

[kaffeejunkie1980]

really great...

good old punk

[codmi]

Great! I was looking for this song on yt for a while and finally I found it.

Thanks!

[UtopianHearts]

No problem.

Sadly, no, but they make up for that in the number of bands they influenced and all that - and besides, it's not an easy tune to top! :]

[kazbah1923]

Thank you for posting this. I do have some other stuff by The Flys but they never did really better this ...
