The Ballad of Billy Kershaw..Jake Thackray

[pleopod]

Brilliant

[Gimmer3]

So funny!

[firestartertwistedfi]

the sarkozy reference is way off the mark - the song says he never picked the beautiful ones as you have a picture of model carla bruni in a bikini

Help

i would like the title of the song where he buries his Mrs facing downwards . I saw Jake perform it on Thats life years ago

[neilwsmith]

The Jolly Captain

[135026]

Many thanks to you for your help

[Holymowlam]

Now then. Thanks for the vid. Always loved this song. Like the Sarkozy connotation!

I'd love to see a performance of 'Rememberance' by Jake - one about getting killed in no-mans-land in an unspecified war. It was on a BBC doc about Jake once, but that is the only time I've heard it. If you find it please put it up, thanks.

great song, wish we had a video of it. Such clever words too. what a lot of crap the chap earlier says about the man's ego. Maudie25

[Gangly1]

Me thinks he was referring to Sarko's ego, not Jake's.

[Godfreythelipid]

A true minstrel. Genius.

[maudie25]

absolutelysuper, so wish the beloved Jake was still with us. Still, with your efforts, we can still get a taste of him. Thanks so much. Maudie 25

Fantastic track,I never get tired of listening to it,makes me grin like I'm trying to swallow a coat hanger.Thanks for posting

[nondescript11]

Where the hell did you get the idea to combine Billy K with Nique-nique S - Absolutely fucking brlliant. 'Spectacular but dodgy' sums up Sarko in one phrase. Géniale!!

The song is, of course, a classic. Loved it

[bobbystormont]

The song isn't about egotism. It's quite a noble alternative sexual ethic - to do it out of a sense of public duty. Been waiting for this to be posted - but it keeps sticking - grrr.

[ianclivewright]

Sort of spears the mad ego of the man, the hubris that will bring about his downfall

Pathetic when you get down to it, but men often are.

[synchc]

I can think of one who definately is. There's nothing egotistical about this song. I think that you think you're cleverer than you are.

[ianclivewright]

No, but there is about the little French man, which I think was the point of showing the pictures with the song.

Are you French? Is this your second language perhaps?

[dixiesda]

Good to have you back Chas...Bliddy good!!!...Jake's a Legend...lol...
