[Baikonourful]

Sounds similar to The Fall 'Industrial Estate' for me, particularly the 1:51 bit.

[paulhulatt]

The guy at the back with the dark curly hair is legendary producer Martin Hannett.

[moogleyeify]

that was supposed to say The Crack.

[moogleyeify]

Nicky Mile from Whitby big up to all the fucking geniuses who share my love for the Jilted legend. I fucking love you all. Anarchy. Sex. And Crack.

[RandallPeek]

Let's be honest. Gordon really IS a moron.

[susieboo74]

I LOVE THIS SONG-CLASSIC

[davidleighbnp]

wythenshawe at its best

[unclemort1960]

`i was so upset ,that i cried all the way to the chip shop`-its got to be the greatest line  ever written in rock`n`roll.

[nik62es]

Picture this highschool in Germany back in the 70`s. After having suffered english as a second foreign language (very elite school - we had latin as a first foreign language), one day our new english teacher, Miss Aiken, walked into class with a record player and put on Jilted John. Life began right after that...The world may have lost a perfect presidential candidate for the United States of Earth..but hey, did I see the light ;-) Forever gratefull to you, Miss Aiken..

[Cormac0bbz]

mashed potato!!!!!!!!!!

[TomNevin1]

LOL 0:40

[davidleighbnp]

[TheJohnkeith]

[GeorgeSampsonroks]

[tinam521]

[SimonLePom]

Cheers so much for putting this on. I've still got the single and will never part with it. Daft, silly but good fun. Good on ya mate.

[GameOf2Halves]

Brilliant! True punk spirit (and format). And funny as hell.

[slippped]

[67roko]

@slippped cheers mate. thats a true story and though it hurt at the time  it still makes me grin today. and that can only be a good thing.

[chris9930]

my teenage faverite

[ThroughRock]

lol this is what all britsih music sounds like

[ToxicTurquoise454]

@ThroughRock You are just retarded. Seriously, are you that retarded? Please, see a doctor. Now.

[ThroughRock]

@ToxicTurquoise454 lol lay off dude, I was just jokin. us americans love you brits and your music is pure awesome lol, you are so much better than us at almost everything ;)

JILTED JOHN FOREVER

[voxl2ba]

@ThroughRock

Yes - all British music sounds just like this: The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, The Kinks, David Bowie, Queen and even Muse. It all sounds exactly like this.

[ThroughRock]

@voxl2ba it was just a joke. im american we make fun of brits all the time its in our blood. but here we know british things are fucking awesome we just pretend not to. get used to it

[SexPistolG]

Love this song, so funny

[vampireblood33]

i wish i new someone called gordon......shame :( i wish my hed teacha was called gordon! :D

[georgematt]

Everyone in this video haz mad skillzz!

I mean just look and the guitarist and the dancer! pure genius :D!

[shrivel1]

How can you forget this one.  Happy Birthday Maggie.

[67roko]

used to sing gordon is a moron at some idiot who worked at the pig farm as he cycled home past our junior school on his way home from work, even though his name was jimmy. oh how we laughed , until the fucker stopped one day and kicked our fucking heads in.

[chessfun]

@67roko thats soooo funny...

[yachttaboo]

@67roko

Man that was funny.

[Stoory]

@67roko

"used to sing gordon is a moron at some idiot who worked at the pig farm".

--

Sounds to me as if it wasnt HIM who was the idiot.

Seriously though. For those of you havent seen "Jilted John" as he is today, search Youtube for "John Shuttleworth". 

He's pure genius. Mad, but a genius.

[67roko]

@Stoory maybe i was being an idiot, but then again i was only 10 and blokes tend not to be very mature at that age.

[mrwells111]

@67roko Would be bully. How many times we take the piss and we dont see it as bullying.

[67roko]

@mrwells111 ahhahaha fuck me i was 10 this bloke was at least 17. we may of been taking the piss but in a truly childlike way. what kind of bloke jumps off his bike and beats up fucking 10 year olds? big man him, indeed. im not saying i was right doing what i did, but what he did was certainly wrong as far as im concerned.

[67roko]

@mrwells111 oh unless you condone men beating up children of course? all i was doing was recounting a memory that this song bought back for me. was i a bully? yes. was i bullied? yes to that as well. it's like the food chain, the weaker are always picked on by those that are stronger than them. its part of growing up. although now i am an adult there is much i wish i had and had not done.

[princessiero2]

I can't believe people actually went out and spent their money on this.

The guy in the background has some epic dancing skills, though.

[baybeextoosh]

haha he's a comedian

[MrPalbuk]

to think i sang the lyrics when i was 9 lol

[Nigeltheginger1]

THIS IS SO TOTALLY BROOTALZ

[imagine11ful]

yeah yeah its not fair. im so upset! it doesn't get any better than this!

[Fireperv]

And try saying Poof now on a primetime pop show !!!

[Fireperv]

Gordon may be a moron, but Martin Hannett was a genious, the "Jilted John " album is a masterpiece, Fellowes "kitchen sink" lyrics mixed with Hannett's genious production and the cream of Manchester's musicians, giving hints of what was to come with the Invisible Girls with JCC and Pauline Murray..and Grahame Fellowes was funny then and is still funny now.

[blackmajor1]

funny my sister's name is julie , and guess her chaps name is gordon , alway ribbing him about this tune lol

[asyouweresir]

1st record i bought when i was 8,shes a slut lol

[SouthCoastMackem]

Anyone who doesn't find this funny must have had a sense of humour bypass. "I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop". Brilliant. In the 70s, when so many groups and musicians took themseves sooooooooo seriously, this was like a breath of fresh air. Go on, listen and have a laugh. You know you want to ...........

[cabbie1966]

Yep that is 100 percent John Shuttleworth aka Graham Fellows..

[HALIDAYINN]

is that John Shuttleworth

[badhead]

@HALIDAYINN yes

[kendomo]

everybody know gordon´s a moron!

[Biigfish559]

If Ian Devine is reading this, thanks for evermore for bringing this into 5th Year English (With snooty Miss Power) as an example of classic , modern English Poetry. Her face was a picture LOL! What a stormer this was!!

[daggle21]

I believe that's martin hannet at the back on guitar.

[nigelpearle]

grew up with this , its great.

[sarathorley69]

FUCKIN LOVE IT!

[66gadus]

totp live at last!!!!

[GlubberXx]

It. Is. Amazing. D: <3 :O 

[TheHerringy]

[sainttony73]

BRILLIANT



[broguefletch]

Gordon is still a fucking moron

[mangamaniac2464]

Gordon is a moron 

[crapple009]

Reminds me of a new wave Herman's Hermits.

[skinnyrichard]

gordon is a moron lmao

[MrCeske]

I cried all the way to the chip shop. Love it!

[joy2559]

[mickelli]

Can't get any better,brilliant,thank you.

[hobnob09]

this is just pure amzing, i love punk=]=]=]=]

[RoxasGF]

wow, I can remember singning this all the time with my dad a few years ago...

Live long PR, Live Long ^^

[nettieheart]

This song is more rebellious than the pistols it really is the punk attitude! nh

[dacrlit]

29 PEOPLE DON'T KNOW KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR THEM.

[smmeegal]

OMG THANKYOU!!

[whitfield83]

Does he say "not that cunt I said his name?" before he says "puff"

[xemopengyx]

@whitfield83 He says "'Not that puff', I said dismayed"

[boulalaman]

pure awesomeness

[TheKatyMayShow]

she's a bitch, 'e's a puff

[pawnshops]

There was only one John, unlike Gordon....

[joy2559]

punk as hell, remember this in 78, play this to gordon brown

[DeadOriginal]

@joy2559 , ....me too, maybe a remake would be in order, but this time Gordon can be jilted and John get's into Julies pants after polishing off the chips

[TheRobobum]

Does anyone else think Justin Bieber looks like a Gay version of Jilted John?

[geomac24]

This is absolute class..... heard for first time last night! lmfao

[anonquarff]

graham doesnt like to be reminded about this

[archiebaldful]

Huddersfield Lymington what have we done. Best song ever. Thanks.

[alecahauf]

This suits Gordon Brown perfect. The arsehole sold half of the U.K. gold reserve when gold was at an all time low now he's buying gold when it's at an all time high so yes Gordon is a moron

[skitzey]

fuck yeeeea!

[escortmenow]

Love this.. So funny.

Then I saw Gordon standing at the bus stop, and guess who he was with? ... Yeah, it was Julie !!!

[MsDarkwood]

I'm so upset!

[hufclufc]

Yes he was on corrie, and that is Martin Hannett on base!

[MattyStevensonBishop]

@hufclufc in the video? which one? I can't even find a bass in the video.. at first I thought the guy swinging the acoustic might be hannett..

[kellymonster77]

i think he's saying "she's a slag" not "she's a slut"... basically the same thing

[aliceolivia93]

funny song

[mfactor88]

geez i got 5 minuses :(((((

numptys its called sarcasm i love this song :)

[pp0u20e8]

Do you care how many minuses you got?

[23HappyApples]

he's more of a man then you'll ever be

[daz902000]

aparently hes now the manager of pc world in enfield!

[kirstyms03]

wow i could go and visit him then ;)

[SnorkmaidenJLS]

@daz902000  - no he isn't. Graeme Fellows is still performing as 'John Shuttleworth'. Google it.

[MrAndrewjs]

@daz902000

are you serious? pc world enfield as in enfield near london, uk? i was in there buying a computer there yesterday!

[flyingscotsman0141]

@daz902000 : he's john shuttleworth lol also Dr Persil in Ideal!!

[Becsabc]

@daz902000 Mate, I went to see in him last night :)

[videowifie]

@daz902000 apparently he's shuttleworth

[underpants1965]

@videowifie tis true, he is the genial John Shuttleworth, although he never does anything remotely like this in his live shows. I saw him a couple of years ago in Durham, brilliant, if you get the chance , he's worth a look.

[feewebb]

@daz902000 check out John Shuttleworth. One and the same

[Phizogphoto]

@daz902000 No, Graham Fellows is the character(s) in the brilliantly funny John Shuttleworth, radio 4.

[ziaone]

a total gem.

[jiltedjohn123456789]

still my fave rave song after all these years

[airscrew1]

Is it true that Graham Fellows once appeared in Coronation Street as a boyfreind of Gail, before she married Little Chris Quinten.

[rubinoos1]

Graham Fellows isn't too bad looking.

[spxmgb]

my name is gordon.

this feels good.

[rubinoos1]

lol

[davesgcr]

This track kept me going writing my dissertation - thats how old I am !

[jonthebass]

I bought the single too

[Joneseeboy]

are they all high:L

[MOSTechnology]

GENIUS!

[mardycustard]

av it!

[williamgeorgefraser]

Gordon is a moron!

When I heard this on the radio I just had to go out and buy the album! An absolute classic!

[zazz63]

martin hannett ...on acoustic at the back..he produced this track as well as a great deal of new order and joy division!!!!

[ttslave]

blinding! here we go, 2 3 4 .................

[jaykay699]

lol, oh yeah. Looks my old man!

[darrenperry1616]

only checking this because of greg james radio 1 !! not bad, but there is a random bloke on drums, looks like he just strolled in from the pub and sat down on stage!

[jamiesuth]

Just checked this out to see martin hannett at work. Crazy bastard, fucking legend.

[JoeAM1]

Love the dancing!

[givemesomecaffeine]

he is a puff lol

[3ch0Kilz]

i was so upset i cryed all the way to the chip shop

[mfactor88]

good for a cack ...imitation DEVO guitarist FTW

[peterdcarter1]

That's Martin Hannett at the back kids.

[harfarhs]

You mean, 'playing' the acoustic guitar?? LOL..

[BULLSHIT123xx]

i think this is the coolest guy i have ever seen, seriously no joke, this guy is wicked

[LDNn15]

@BULLSHIT123xx

He was way before his time....sad queers were a minority back then.

[pagglejamia]

yh it is mh on guitar lol

[sirtinycreep]

Life's short. He's 50 years old now. :(

[bazzerbill]

is very odd to think that he is now John Shuttleworth

Though if you look at his face , even here he is pulling a lot of the Shuttleworth expressions .

[heyheyheyyhannah]

Im 13 and I love this! We all sing it at school lol :)

[Lancslass01]

Oh, I used to looove this. Bought the single in 1978 and this has brought back memories - ha ha.

[shavoisgod]

ah, back when back in bands looked happy.

[StayFrosty4]

wtf? bands look happy nowadays too. and in the 70s there were also bands that didnt look happy..

[rejji]

mint

[dewexdewex]

Is that Hannett on acoustic guitar in the background?

[bareakon]

i like the song and all,

but pretty much everyone on that stage is annoying me right now

[Speakinsong]

And that's good, right? :))

[MrDemolitionMan]

All Julies are slags.

[Wardimus83]

Ill get me mate Dave to hit him. LOL!

[NeedForSpeedUK]

I cried all the way to the chip shop.......HILARIOUS!

[Dandango123]

BULLSHIT, i just looked at ur profile, the song is older than you are. And if it is true........great, they are possibly the worst lyrics ever.

[itchybumchin]

I've lived with all these and I wrote this song, so did my dad actually...and I'm best mates with them all

etc.

[MishiMashi19]

i wrote Bohemian Rhapsody,.....but no-one believes me,...

[ExxonAmadeus]

omg me too

[blakeyfaz]

why youd want to take credit for that lol...

[MishiMashi19]

royalties man!!!!!

[flemwad]

Quality..love at 1.42 when he is late coming in, then rolls his eyes at himself as he gets back on track... I am not boasting but I am expert at this song on the karaoke. Ok. I am boasting. I DONT CARE!! yeah yeah its not fair

[a33ey09]

Hi all

[emasuz]

punk rock will never die and what a class song xxx

[binbag9]

i used to live in a house with jilted johns drummer TONY ROBERTS when i was little, he was mental!!

[richwoo22]

binbag9. He still is....

[binbag9]

slightly on the religious side nowadays so i heard :P ......

[WraithGX]

defiantly a drunk 'good times' song

[CH4ZZ4P3NG]

He forgets his words at 1:45 :L

Good recovery though.
