  • If God ever has to administer a suppository to Planet Earth you know where he'll stick it. Yup, right up Cwoyden.

  • Big Up the Croydonian Massive lol. Lyrics are True to the 'T'..

  • Great video! I teach high school in Levittown, Pennsylvania in the U.S. and WE have a Croydon which, at least my students say, is not much different than your town! Good ol' Croydon! I'd love to have my students make a video like yours so you can see the similarities!

  • HAHAHAHA, Yes, I live in Croydon, well Addiscombe which still too close.

    Great Video Lass!!!

  • holy croydon boys check out the girls panties 0:47

  • big up croydon! addington and proud

  • class chicks

  • "motherfucker!" :L

  • Ha ha. Very funny. I'd be insulted if it wasn't sadly true for a sizeable percentage of young Croydonites.

    Like anywhere you have good and bad, Croydon is one of, if not the most populated london borough so it's impossible to make sweeping generalizations. I'm a male in my late 20's. Lived in the north part of Croydon for the majority of my life and hence I am well versed in street parlance and can use when appropriate but I'm also able to converse in a normal educated fashion.

    Nice song :)

  • i'm from Croydon to :P

  • people from the west side would mash you up

  • im from croydon :)

  • croydon is just full of foreigners. the natives have been moving out in their droves for a long time. Croydon is a dump full of Croydon.

  • Yeah croydon is a shit hole but dusnt mean everyone in it is shit. Kl song anyways

  • Croydon is one of the few places in england with such a mix of different cultures. I am very proud of the fact croydon has such diversity and 90% of times people work together. It's such a shame that some people think they have a point 2 prove. Some of the comment are very sad that people can such little tolerance i hope it's not passed on 2 the next gereration.

  • You people posting your " I from croydon you knob " comments, your not exactly doing yourself any justice .. dummys

  • I like the tune n everything but im proudly from Croydon and i don't like what your saying .. don't you think it's a tiny bit disrespectful.

    also in your itv interview you said that the song is about people forgetting their culture and croydon is the perfect example beacuse of its amercan influence but surely a mix of culture is great it shows were not inbred for a start ...

    Thanks for making me feel sad about where i live .. i appreciate it

  • wow so true.... full of slags and chavs but now the alternative kids are taking over too

  • I was born and bred in Croydon, and leaving that shithole was the best thing I've ever done. I'm originally from Waddon so if you're from Croydon you'll understand! Great song by the way!

  • To many fucking whites in croydon,, i agree with all of you!!!!

  • full of blacks with attitude FACT too much tension on the streets used to be a nice place yeah i'm from Croydon Addiscombe Rd but left years ago.

  • yo we're neighbours :D

    addiscombe road ! lol

  • Too many blacks? Fuck you I'm black and I wouldn't hurt a fly, yet I got stabbed a few weeks back by two white guys that look exactly the guys in this video. You're just a racist, I get stories all the time from my mate that used to be a mod talking about all the fights and stuff, so stop all that 'it used to be different' bs. It has and always will be a ****hole.

  • @XArcane

    I agree the "too many blacks" is just dumb and racist, but how can you say Croydon hasn't changed? I live in Paris now, but whenever I go back to Croydon to visit family and friends, I can't help but fear for my safety. I've been in Paris for 4 yrs now, never had anyone try to mug me, I go back to England on Xmas and summer holidays, and both times, a bunch of wanna be gangsta crack heads pulled knifes out on me threatening to stab me if I didn't give em my phone! Croydon = not safe

  • @noodlesinfrance

    I do not agree with you, Saying that you got a knife pulled out at you twice, I think thats bullshit. I've been living in Croyon all my life and i havent been mugged once, What were you doing with your phone waving it and shouting 'MUG ME!' So dont talk about croydon like its a shit hole, Because it really isnt.

  • i couldnt put it better myself.what a shit hole.

  • i grew up in croydon,it was a nice place,but now its a shit hole,its a noisy,dirty shit hole,they seem to have put all the people who cant fit in there,sorry but its true.

  • It's not so much Croydon as all the donuts strutting around being 'gangsta'....you get them every where.

  • im from purley

  • don't try and dress it up - 'im from purley' - we know you're from Croydon ;-)

  • Im from Croydon Done no

  • we're from Croydon we dont know anyone like that

  • im from croydon

  • i wouldnt boast about that

  • Talented girl!! Original! But why the completely random and immature swearing??!! Isnt that the sort of thing the rude boy wannabe idiots do??!!

  • I'm from Croydon, and whilst there are many decent people, this is a very accurate representation of some! It was absolutely hilarious, made me laugh alot.

  • omg your now famous cos its on the news

  • Ergh she's just as bad as them by making a judgemental song about them.

    But it is fucking hilarious.

  • This is on London Tonight now!!

  • i lafted my bollocks off excellent..make some more....

  • Oh dear Joan. They've just previewed a bit of the coverage on ITV. I think you might have to leave the country; or at least stay north of the river for a few months...

  • Haha its very funny but some of us who live in croydon are educated and also laugh at these idiots! Cant tarnish us all with the same brush I think these kind of people are dicks too!

  • lol im with you on that one, we aint all the same, but there are definalty them knobs in croyodn that shes saying about, lool ha ha ha ' the only hood your in is coats' he he shes funny!!!!

  • Great. So accurate of the place. A self-inflicted ghetto nowadays with the minority of morons making a lot of it a no-go area for the majority of law abiding people. Shame.

  • Very unfair on us lovley people that have been born and brought up in croydon, that have an education and stick to the word of the law!

  • Im the one in the back! :D

  • wa isit whd u fukers? if nun of u like fukin croydon den y fukin search 4 vids whd croydon init!!! am from croydon n soooooooooooooooo fukin proud so al u po po put there can go suk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

  • Can tell your from croydon because you cant spell.

  • Well we can tell you can't either. Otherwise you would know you should have written you're not you! Learn some grammar!

  • I think you meant to put 'you're' from Croydon as in 'you are'. How's that for spelling. Caz from CROYDON!

  • I think you mean 'can't'.

  • you make croydon look sooo sh!t

  • Wow, Definately Croydon

  • oh gawd,

    epic win!

  • please u ppl r sad, twats. I from croydon. Fukin Noobs

  • I think it's a great tune & well edited! Well done Joan!

    That said; I have lived in Croydon for over 25 years, it's great for shopping, but at night there's always pissed up wankers that ruin a good evening for the majority.

  • Croydon is a ghetto ,dump ...multicultural bullshit ...illegals everywhere....but heyyy ..its all around Home Office.....where else you get all these illegal aliens ?:_)))and I did not even step to West Croydon too much...so Croydon sux ...long live Shirley Hills :-)

  • shirley is the best !!!!

  • im from Croydon and its a shithole.

  • im from croydon/purley good for shopping but i visit now occasinly

  • i wish i was from Croydon :/

  • why?

  • no mate, really dont.

  • Croydon is a part of Surrey!!! Depends where in surrey! x

  • I DO!!!!! i think this is smashin">>

  • i come from a different Croydon in Australia...but there are some similarities...lol

  • Really!!????

  • Oh calm down idiots.

    Its a joke song, it uses whatever it can.

    God, its only youtube.

  • "the closest 2 gangsta that u'll ever be is being mistaken for ice-t"?

    u do realise that ice-t is black, & according to ur song, we're all white (we're not)? perhaps u were thinking of vanilla ice?

    & hopefully u do realise that basingstoke (which is about 50 miles away from london) & reading (idk?) are nowhere near croydon, which is only about 10 miles from the centre of london?

  • how the hell did you hear Ice T... don't go criticising a good jokey song, when you can't even listen. .

  • Croydon is a ledge shops so close together id say better than londen for shops

  • croydon is a fucking SHITE hole!

  • And why's that? I've been living away from there at Uni and am going back tomorrow for the weekend and I can't bloody wait! If you don't live in Croydon then shut your mouth you dunno what you're talking about and if you do live in Croydon, try leaving and living somewhere else like Brighton, then you'll see where the real shiteholes in this country are... certainly NOT Croydon...

  • i live in croydon! its fucking shit!! full of twats who think there something there not!! bunch of pussys!!! its a shithole!!

  • oi im from croydon and i go to a private school! its shops r awesome and croydon has been put down just because there are some hoodies. more than half of the hoodies rnt bad, and there r loadsa boys n girls my age (14) who are happy and dont get in fights. people just jump on the bandwagon and criticise a place. i go to the school that was on the orad of the stabbing, but who gives a fuck?! im posh and ive lived there my whole life

  • Pretty much lived in Croydon all my life (50 years) and have to say that over the last 20 years the place has gone down hill terribly (crappy phone card shops cropping up every hundred yards cheapening the place). Having said that it's not just towns like Croydon thats suffering it's the whole country. I have gone from being extremely proud of it (the UK) to being disgusted with it and while my Californian wife wants me to live there I still hang on here for some reason, heaven knows why?

  • croyodn born n bread says it all :P

  • i like the music, and croydon place, perfect....

  • this is central croydon

  • LOVE CROYDON & THIS SONG

  • Croydon is just like most places in London now,working class white kids who think they are black, we were working class and proud when we were young, this hoodies are depressing and think they are owed something, wake up, i got so pissed off with the uk i moved to the usa, never coming back.

  • i go under that brigde every day lol

  • ha ha ha - this is brilliant!! big it up for the Croyden Massive!

  • go on ye good thing ye. legend!

  • gotta love this song :)

  • lol...never expected that croydon is such a bad place...known someone from there...act so good but its actually sucks...haha..loser

  • lool croydon is bad area i live near new addington bt still i luv it

  • Don't understand this song but i like croydon, although i live in new addington (a shit-hole), i like croydon and would'nt change it for anywhere else in the u.k.

  • Croydon has descended into being a shithole in the passed few years. Chavs are everywhere now. I've lived there my whole life and being 19 I've had experience with the 'rudeboys' though I like to think it's not as bad as some people make it out.

  • Funny that in the United States Croydon Pennsylvania also has a reputation of being a tough town. Not so much the wigger thing, but actually know for being more whitebread.

  • dont understand what your saying about miss dynamite down wit the irish thing and respecting the irish, because your taking the piss outa what she helped create with so solid, makin ppl from south london think they r outa the ghetto, but if the respect and are down with the irish thing i suppose its o.k yeah.

  • Joan Coffey is the greatest!

  • down with what irish thing o.0

  • loved it

    im from croydon

  • i lived in croydon for 8 yrz now :)

  • I've lived there for 22 years :o)

  • Do u live in Croydon? i used too until i got mugged... TWICE!!!!

  • How unfortunate. Alas it seems you are due for yet another mugging, no matter where you have chosen to live.

  • hha unlucky.

    i livd here my whole life, no shit like that ever happend 2me. thank fuck

  • she says croydon weird.

    can totally tell shes probably never been there :)

  • I was dragged up in Croydon. It is the armpit of England. Thankfully i left as soon as i could and don't want to go back ever. Biggest shithole on the planet. I'd rather live anywhere else.

  • Hmmnn.. . A pity you could not afford the property and the lifestyle of those living in the likes of the Web Estate. LoL:)

  • can som1 get me the words to this mythical song?

  • croydon is the place to be

  • I love Croydon:)

  • o yeah, and this song is shit, only good thing is that it has pics of croydon

  • agreed!

  • croydon is the dogs...house

  • class!

    famous croydonites: kate moss captain sensible, ELO, dane bowers, black guy from s club 7

    ehem i think croydons got loads to be proud of :)

  • ermmm... who'd be proud of those losers?! haha! XD

  • I never knew that... but umm... there are 'better' - for lack of a better word - famous people from other boroughs.

    Do you know what parts of Croydon they were all from? Is Norbury part of Croydon?

  • yes norbury is part of croydon

  • x Croydon - Pride of South London - C.P.F.C x

  • Ive lived in Croydon all my life (21 years) and am extremely proud to say im from Croydon, fuck knows how but im pashionate about where I come from and will always defend it even though it is in tatters. 177 pubs & clubs, 3 shopping centres and Crystal Palace F.C....What more do you want out of life people? oh and before people start saying its fulls of chavs and wiggers etc...ive managed to stear clear of that stereotype so obviously not everyone turns out to be a complete mug

  • i'm from croydon, right in the thick of west croydon near london road, 15 mins (walking) away from north end shopping area, it is a shit place to live, so dull and boring, i want to get out of here every day.

    where's a better place to live other than croydon? give me some suggestions; it can be outside london, but not up north and not too down south.

  • Try South Croydon.....you silly mug!"

  • It doesn't matter where you go croydon is a stat of mind.

  • haha so true. but not a good thing

  • Shtinkz; "..where's a better place to live other than croydon? give me some suggestions"

    There is more to Croydon than the immediate neighbourhood you live in. So sorry to disappoint you, but there isn't.

    Perhaps you should try to be a little bit more adventurous and move to Iceland.

  • Horseshit. There isn't more to Croydon, and whatever's "more" to Croydon is what's less to somewhere else.

  • some people r lucky not to come from a shithole!but i do it made part of me. so big up to the shithole love u same way. from the bottom theres only one place...im coming home soon.with out u this life im having now would b normal, not grate nuf love p.s i still can not spell thanks croydon so wat.

  • croydon is a shithole.

  • i live just outside croydon...tis infested with chavs...emos...scene kids and u are likely to be mugged....but does have good shops....props to timebomb and natterjacks lol

  • im from croydon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • PIKEYS!!!!!!!

    These people look like my tenants !!

  • the worst shop in croydon in my opinion was that former comic shop owned by that fat smug git.croydon's version of the simpson's comic book guy.

  • Lol, did Forbidden Planet SERIOUSLY have a 'Comic Book Guy'? What is it nowadays?

  • bangbang uno dis bangbang croydon gang evrywre fam

  • haha i live in croydon, and its not that bad. yeah its full of scene kids, wannabes and such like, but it has got some good points. plus, liek someone else said, iof your smart, your fine, ive lived here all my life and never been in any trouble, not much to complain about in that sense. however, it does get annoying how anytim something closes down, the next year its been built into a new block of flats. but overall, Croydons ok =]

  • my cousins mate got shot in croydon last year it can be bad truss me but if u keep yr hed dwn n act like a pussy then ull be ok

  • well if acting like a 'pussy' means not gettin shot, so be it

  • I agree!

  • cud of been funnier. not really wt croydon is about bt still.

  • shirleys a shithole as well as croydon

  • Croydon is a shithole i live there and theres people everywhere you go robbin or trying to rob others asking for money then it goes to phones grrrr i live shirley and that aint bad but when you get into deeper croydon theres crews and pricks everywhere

  • yeah im from croydon lool

  • bet U DIDNT KNOW DAT CROYDON AINT FAKE!!! CROYDON HAS MORE CREWS AND TEENAGE GANGS OPERATING IN IT THAN ANY OTHER AREA IN LONDON, CROYDON HAS MORE CREWS THAN HACKNEY, THERES A LOT OF BIGTIME YARDIE STYLE GANGSTERS IN THE THORNTON HEATH AREA AND SELHURST PARK, NORWOOD THORNTON HEATH AND NEARBY STREATHAM AND PECKHAM HAD LONDONS FIRST MODERN TYPE GANGS.THEY THEN SPREAD OUT TO BRIXTON AND ALL AROUND DA CAPITAL

  • you mean wankers?

  • So your the jumped up little pratt who thinks croydon is like Compton then? Get a life you Muppett. Yardies? Crews? Yawn. This song is about you. Girls laugh at you, as do other blokes. If you bothered to get a (free) education you would have been given the sense to leave Croydon and better yourself. But no. you'd rather be super tough and poor and hang out in a sado 'gang'. LOSER.

  • aint you a twat, all these so called crews and shit are all fakes all just wannabes from the biggest shithole in south london and before you go off on one I lived in croydon for many years runnings pubs experiencing all these so called wannabe's so all you fakes fuck off and deal with the real world!!!

  • ok-you can turn your caps lock key off now...

  • it aint a fake accent in croydon its something the generation have bin bought up with.

  • lived in Croydon my whole lyf (26 yrs) and not had a problem - its a shame that its full of immegrants and plastic gangsters,also pitty that there is the UK HOME OFFICE.Croydon has just got a bad rep that it seems not able to get rid of. FM cru LOVES YOU!

  • i left Croydon to teach in japan and i was missing it.....until i saw this.

  • this song is sooo true. loved it :D more songs about Croydon please

  • Croydon is a perfectly good example of multi ethnic cosmopolitan living. My end is South Indian in the main. Excellent dosas only a stones throw away.

  • Big up Croydon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Weh-Hey I know i'm from Croydon!!!!!

  • yeah croydons alright...but its well boring...need like a skate park there or something

  • Sorry m8. i live in croydon. it has 2 skate parks.

    thank u very much. its got loads to do. its full of excellently masssive parks, loads of leisure centres, one of the biggest shopping centres in europe and an off set urban nightlife. croydon rules!! and then yet it sux so dam much.

  • this is so funny, but if you go to croydon now its the complete opposite. Twatty scene kids.
