Just say no

[Pollok123]

This song brings back all the memories of the cocaine years I did.

[TelfLad]

I wonder how many of these kids spent all their grange hill money on coke.

[markyk1970]

[slaxxxer]

Fucking hell, pass me the crystal meth!

[YocoolKids]

[AlexDanHaz228]

[0MGAB33F]

[rodrigueshart]

"I only want to help you Ro-land!"

[slaxxxer]

[MrBogie91]

They said the birds on Prisoner Cell Block H were ugly...this lot would make 'em all run a mile.

[MizzLolipop1]

wow after they played this in skwl a few weeks ago its been amazing ... three kids took horse tranquilizing pills way 2 go grange hill cast -_-

[jamooski]

I can't believe that it ended up most of these actors were on drugs

[carsruleok]

Funny thing is I remember most of these characters like it was yesterday and I also bumped into Roland in WH Smiths Stratford in the 1980's.

[iMegLvz]

Those kids should have said no when their hairdresser asked them did they want a ''cool new haircut''

[darksidehumourxx]

Considering how morbidly obese the fucker is now he might have been better off on the smack .

[thatsgorg]

Giving some Sherbet in the Gym. Bastard!

[spangle69]

Surely it's time to re-unite the Grange Hill Cast...

[chad6258]

has any body else noticed that Roland was a fat cunt?

[pccrybabyhater1]

yeah this song really stopped kids taking drugs lol

[noethUK]

Amy Winehouse should have taken note...

[chad6258]

@noethUK haha thats why im here to make that comment, you beat me to it. thumbs up  lol

[killdeathcuntrokstar]

i bet this would look incredible on drugs

[JRS1982]

What is a 1980s song without a sax solo?

[banneradders]

i wonder how many of these lot actually said Yes in real life

[JonSP78]

what year was this released??

[Youthanasiac1]

@JonSP78

Released in 1986. Top 40 chart positions were:

04/19/1986 26th (NEW)

04/26/1986 5th

05/03/1986 5th

05/10/1986 12th

05/17/1986 27th

[Ayrshore]

@Youthanasiac1

You got your dates all wrong there - here's the correct ones:

19/104/1986 26th

26/04/1986 5th

03/05/1986 5th

10/05/1986 12th

17/05/1986 27th

[Youthanasiac1]

@Ayrshore

The dates were correct; they were just in the mm/dd/yyy format and I am certain that people interested can figure that out. One of your dates is wrong as you typed "19/104/1986"

[Ayrshore]

@Youthanasiac1 You mean they were correct in the US, and wrong everywhere else on the planet.

[Youthanasiac1]

@Ayrshore Yes, I technically agree with you but although the US is the only country where the mm/dd/yyyy format is used exclusively, both Saudi Arabia and the Philippines used both the mm/dd/yyyy format and dd/mm/yyyy format. Having lived in the US for 13 years I am completely used to using the mm/dd/yyyy format and it's natural to me even though I didn't grow up using this in the UK. They stilll use pounds and ounces over here too!

[flakelorenz02]

I have never once been offered drugs by anyone but I had to stit through all this crap during school. I didn't even get the chance to say no. Was anyone else never offered drugs and feel that all this was pointless for them?

[MeBenHalpin]

Typical cheessy 80's sort of song.

[DN21Media]

Danny Kendall lives!

[jl45000019]

Remember this when voting in the referendum

[kiuhy8]

beyond bogus. funny though!

[SarahSmith666]

What a fukkin joke song!

[64SamoDude]

Sign My Petiton to Bring More Grange Hill On to dvd.

bit . ly / ih7Pu5

Remove The Spaces.

[laidbakboy88]

@64SamoDude >they have brought Grange Hill on DVd on HMV. com online

[polgal27]

I HAVE JUST STOLE MY PARENTS WEDDING RING AND GONNY SWAP IT FOR SMACK COS OF THIS VIDEO

[SUBWAYROB1]

DRUGS ARE COOL...

RECORDS LIKE THIS ARE SHIT !

[brusselsprouts2011]

I think I may have had a 45rpm Record of this Song - I actually thought they were a super bunch of young people, and I do hope that many people were turned away from the drug scene because of their song.

Ombilboo I wish you sucess in the future, and hope you manage to stay off drugs for good. Five years in Prison - how absolutely awful for you - hope you never see the inside of that place again.

[beccamj1]

I can honestly say that it was because of this song that i smoked my first joint. After refusing a joint passed to me by one of my dads mates,my dad & all his mates laughed at me & started singing this song to me.I then took that joint & started a 25 yr habit,which ive only just managed to break..cheers for that dad.

[Jarvisdoctor]

It's so bad it makes me want to say Yes!

[bLUD118]

This shit makes me want to do drugs!!!!!!

[mikescoob95]

james corden looks like rolie lol

[flystatic]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­

[simonfb10]

 Looks like the start of a gay porno

[djdinnum]

:D

[dozzyangel]

I have to take drugs to cope with the trauma of all those 80s hairstyles

[bjedmond]

Love it, takes me right back

[tatatimmah]

hmmm  think ima go take a bong rip

[IntricateCinnamonHat]

I say yes to crack

[skanskar]

didn't they all say yes to drugs and got caught??

and we wonder why we are losing the war on drugs :(

[skanskar]

is the dude selling steroids in the gym??

seems a strange place to sell smack

[smartestguy999]

So this is where all the republicans saying no to everything started

[Ombliboo]

I wish I'd just said no when the girl in the stripy leotard did that move to me she did at 2:07, and I could have avoided five years in the nonce's wing at HMP Wakefield.

[Ayrshore]

I love the way they give the line "you can be a hero, be who you are" to the token black kid and the fat kid!

[Jacksiin1]

Ant jones cany sick for sh**

[EgoDead5]

The first time I smoked marijuana I fatally OD'd and died. Don't smoke droogz kids, you'll die from them like me.

[pyrodemon131]

I LOVE XTC 

[dantastic15]

The bastard Zamo has just stood on a gram of uncut coke! What a plonker! He could have cut that and doubled his money!

[poisontardis]

wish i had said no :(

[billysharp15]

@poisontardis just talk to frank my friend :) x

[ngh1968]

Ha Ha. Opening scene you see Zammo with John Alford, who was actually jailed for doing drugs himself in real life. Who was the actor on 1:04? He was quite fit in the series, bit of a heart-throb. Wonder what he's doing now.

[jazzx251]

@ngh1968

His character is "Tucker Jenkins" - after he left Grange Hill, he got his own show called "Tucker's Luck" as he goes around looking for work after leaving school.

Then he went into Eastenders as a main character (I'm not sure whether he played the same character).

[stuartrichards70]

crap

[stuartrichards70]

i remember this,it sounded awful then, now,its terrible

[joeypesci]

@stuartrichards70 Although not as bad as I remember, as they did the really good thing of making the music Americanised, especially the sax bit. It's worth listening to just for that bit :)

[zipzapzop93]

I love in 1:30 where the chick on the right can't say it with a straight face. Oh, drugs...

[joshthegoth]

This video begs the question. What the fuck? and 47 seconds.. OMG

[dtumahtsew]

Loved Lisa York and her west ham bag

[bristolian1970]

The lovely Lisa York at 2 20

[Pigeonzbomb12]

Isn't there a song called "Never Say No"?

[andremp03]

Just Say No, LMAO

[Kristnt]

Classic!

[jamesbullet55]

oh.my.god...

[cullyvan]

the irony is Zammo is now a fat crack addict who sucks cocks for cheeses.

[Armogslaven]

halfway through this video i realised it was funny that i was rolling a fag?

[TrinityXProductions]

Mark Savage who played Gripper Stebson has recently made an appearance in an independent film called 'Total Reaction'. The independent film is made my Trinity X Productions and his role was a butcher! The trailers are on our channel!

[mrmister102]

rumour has it some of the grange hill stars back then liked a bit of gear and they do this HYPOCRITES

[naijabebe]

Awww stop knocking this song pple... I loved this when i was like 13/14 yrs old. The story line was very effective for young ones like me.... Loved Zamo too :o)

[overstretched]

@naijabebe

"Like 13/14 yrs old"? LIKE?

LIKE?

[naijabebe]

@overstretched Lol, I know (hangs head in a lil shame) :o)

[WiccanHighPriest0]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't just say no cus it won't let me post!

[Stonerteacher]

I bet 1 out of 2 of these kids grow up and start smoking weed lol.

[amarstan]

Who wins? Fat kid @ :47 or Mr Kool @ 1:04

[Bhodisatvas]

pass me the smack..this is terrible!! lol

I remember when this came out..I love the way they threw in the female cast in leotards for all the sexually frustrated teenage boys.

This is on par with 'something out of nothing' by The Banned (yeah eastenders)

[Ironic268]

just curious...do all those that think THIS is 'brain washing' and gonna increase crime and lower education mean they want drugs??? The point was to ask kids to say no....NO DEMAND NO SUPPLY, LOWER CRIME!!!! AND DRUGS LOWER EDUCATION BY USING THEM!!!! Yes it is a crap song tho!

[GrandPrix55]

Zammo was the best actor/character in GH

[shroomflake]

i feel bad for the people who were acually brainwashed by thease kind on videos

[suffern63]

@shroomflake yeah,taking drugs shows you're really doing your own thing,not what the government want you to,my arse

[WiccanHighPriest0]

@shroomflake how the fuck were they being brainwashed?

[nettieheart]

Some of the cast did take drugs!

[savinglivesinmexico]

Just say no to drugs, I guess what your are saying yes to is the highest prison population in the world, financing terrorists and drug cartels, 7000 people dying yearly in Mexico, budget cuts: you also say no to education, health care reform, insurance reform, clean energy, medicine, and prison reform, the bill of rights, our liberty, justice, silencing witnesses, I could go on for days but I am limited on the number of characters.

[64SamoDude]

lol this is rich from coming zammo as he took heroin

[WiccanHighPriest0]

@64SamoDude yeah but look what happened when he did

[Struckgold]

creepy

[L0K3]

they were all spliffed up like a rasta's chimney

[danw1374]

i forgot how bloody terrible this song was, its so bad you have to be on drugs to listen to it lmao

[lesterroberts1]

Used to like this then.

[whitemagic2222]

just say no to tv brain washing

[GinolasSon]

This is the genius GH cast. Best ever.

Love that preening woofter Ant Jones at 1.03, loving it isnt he!

But where the fuck is Banksie!!

[Ilovechocolate1996]

its kinda funny tat some of tem were takin drugs temself

[Squibfire]

oh my god this makes Wham's Wake Me Up Before You Go Go look like fucking Bob Dylan, this is so amazing, my new favorite song

[thatsgorg]

'don't listen, don't listen to anyone else. All you got to do is be yourself' wow, that's almost poetic, it's deep. ;)

x

[wayneypayney]

was that fat roly?

[homie3626]

This song ain't so bad when you're stoned, ha ha.

[brightonicon]

"just say no!"

[Glitterbladejester]

I quite like this song

[hamster700]

who wrote it billy ocean

[jaseywasey49]

Maybe John Altman should have listened to Zammo

[UpperPaleolithicMan]

Yes, let's use lukewarm jazz-funk to convince kids not to take drugs!

[Eurafrican]

wow not one of them was in key xD

so bad its making me piss myself xD

@Andyteetwo inspired...

[Pollok123]

Just say yes half of them who went to the White House were on cocaine anyway when making this song.

[jackstyles99]

this is amazing

[Montywhittle]

utter shite!!

[ArcticSheep]

all these people will die feeling incomplete

[Braddurs]

I'm linking this to my friend who is currently sick after eating some kind of druggy cake xD

[codyterrier]

serves him right

[codyterrier]

hopefully he will die druggy scum they all deserve to die.

[MrStompbox]

@codyterrier Shut up you brainwashed moron.

[nckweeks]

Ha ha ha Fat Roland!!! Roland Roland I'm only trying to help you Roland!!! Who'd want to live with the name Roland after that?? I've got a friend called Roland and he got teased at school so much.

[sepul071200]

julia glover, Mmmmmmmmmm!!

laura reagan Mmmmmmmmmm!!

[stevenanthony1987]

i was born in 1987 and i believe was this was recored in 86? but i wanted 2 know who da blonde girl is singing at da begining is ? I tink she's da only 1 that could sing out of da group

[IceNilla]

Alison Bettles (Fay Lucas)

[steve8765]

@stevenanthony1987 the blonde girl who is singing near the beginning of the Just Say No Video Song is Alison Bettles who played Fay Lucas in Grange Hill (she was my fave character i really fancies her when i was younger...lol

[Thehatedtruth]

0:11 0:27

Anyone doin drugs at grange hill either has the shit beaten out of them, or is carried off to a police station by other pupils.

[DroogMonkey]

Haha this is way better high

[zorglarf]

these kids where on drugs :D

[macboiguy]

yea, when they went to the white house they smoked dope and did coke

ironic or what :P

[jazzx251]

It doesn't quite make sense.

The song is telling kids to "just say no" in one sentence and then telling them not to listen to anybody!

[urtv1]

Say no to drugs or they'll play the song again.

[kayenta33]

I LOVE WEED

[matrags]

Just say no kids.

[prankmypants]

noooooooooooooooooooooooo (alt + F4) thats better

[greenisland75]

The 1986 series of Grange Hill was dominated by the drugs issue. As a 11 year old at the time I found this particular series so boring. This song was the best things about Grange Hill in 1986.

[Pollok123]

I am thinking of doing a few lines just now after watching this anti drugs song.

[Imeldaishot2010]

haha

and did i even spot the lovely Imelda there?

[Andyteetwo]

The ironic thing is, is you have to take drugs in order to stomach this god awful song!

[satij]

@Andyteetwo

hahahahahahahahahahahahah

[TheSaturdaysRemixes]

@Andyteetwo no the ironic thing is that during Justin Lee Collin's show: Bring Back... Grange Hil. The cast admit to doing drugs during a promotional trip to america for this very song. they said during the national anthem when they were up on the screen they kept their eyes down so people wouldn't notice

[ih8theblues]

Oh lord no.

[6Andxz9]

LMFAO

[Pollok123]

This song is the reason I started taking cocaine. Just say yes. Just say yes.

[blurrymachine]

Just say More. What a classic, Zammo was my role model so I said NO... .)

[Book0fShadows]

Ahhh...the memories lol.

I look back on this now and think "how naff" but at the time I couldn't get enough of it haha XD

[Reedy297]

Deffo!

[bindgagger]

Can't I say "Yes" just once and "No" the rest of the time?

A little of what you fancy does you good.

[JenCapTchalla]

not when it hooks you it don't lol

[homerbear46]

Lee Mcguire (Zammo) has a YT account...he'll answer you if you post to him and is a very nice guy.

can't remember what it is though.

[JenCapTchalla]

yes he is on yt and he's a diamond bloke i have him on my facebook friends list aswell as George Wilson who played Ziggy

[adumanter]

What character does the dj in this video play?

[JenCapTchalla]

Ziggy Greaves

[homerbear46]

ah yes...Ziggy Greaves, Robbie Wilks, Gonch, Hollow,Trevor Cleaver and Vincent Savage...the Halcyon days of GH...I remember I had a tape-2-tape video piracy scam going in real life as they did...

two pound per vid...quality was suspect at best.:-)

[Glennsalt]

Samantha Lewis (Georgina) was the hottest

[codyterrier]

She was fit but jackie wright for me all the way.

[hayzejk]

who is the guy who sings all you gotta do is be yourself?

[rocketswitch]

ant jones

[jazzx251]

That's Tucker Jenkins - he ended up with the rest of them in East Enders.

[androniko]

gonch is a fuckin cool dude !!!

[HELPTHEHOMELESS32]

Gotta love the pedophile feeding anti drug psychosis that was popular back then. Hilarious. MY REMIX COMING SOON!

[luprano]

I miss this lot. Grange Hill was the best in this era.

[HackneyShark]

They really shoulda took some singing lessons...
