XTC - The Road To Oranges & Lemons

[Stube437]

This is crap but good crap.

[markdykeman]

It's so awful it's wonderful.

[satterk1]

Bless you Andy Partridge & Co...!

[GloucesterAdam]

Wonder if there'll be a part two - XTC between 1989 and 2005 would be interesting.

[GloucesterAdam]

Swindon's not a bad place - far better than some of the dives I've lived in!

[SilentGunman]

Best.  Puppet Show. Ever.

[TheBrilliantGeniuses]

welcome london to

[bekkyxtcfan97]

this is great XD

[101Volts]

I heard this video came in a lunch box as a promo for Oranges & Lemons and real oranges and lemons were in the lunch box as well.

[pimtelman]

If only everything in life could be that simple..........

[x9x8x7x61]

Partridge as potato xD

[yaywhewclips242]

theyr'e gonna get angry?

[coolmanoflego]

cool man

[RioPugliese]

I loved this!

God Bless the XTC and YouTube!

[Nigelxman]

hahaha This is so great! Thanks so much for posting it! :-)

[101Volts]

2:37 Lol, They even have the stupid mid 70s "Zoom in and out" Camera thing going on that could make people dizzy. Its funny here, Not so much in videos from the 70s!

[johnmc2k]

Even their comedy is before its time! This reminds me of David Firths stuff.

[Mezgavirtov]

Teddy bear's wearing a cool Beatles Brooch. :)

[101Volts]

This is great, I should have watched it earlier. And 1:26 they're using a doll's feet as clouds LOL. And 1:38 they just have paper cutouts or something for clothes... And the clothes are in style of the "White Music" Album cover.

[therealsoulproduct]

That was hilarious!!!!

[vonzeke]

Freakin' brilliant

[shadouge4eva97]

PMSL!!!! hey ur andy partridge!!!

[shadouge4eva97]

and i just love that hysterical richard branson!!!!!

[MrProjection]

Very amusing as was Andy's interview with John Leckie on Ape radio,

Was this ever aired anywhere!?

Get the Dukes back together guys

[jamezpackerfan]

I wonder is Barry Andrews or Terry Chambers ever saw this vid lol. I like how they say Japan and then hold up a Hong Kong sign. XTC rocks

[haggidubious]

I love how Andy's a potato!

[Nomorebiscuits]

The dwarf from snow white sounds like quagmire

[Applemask]

Proper Swindonian accents!

[MusicJew158]

XTC is the best angry band ever and the most talented for sure

[bandcouver]

Even back then I wanted music that was outside the boring mainstream.

O & L would have been XTC's first million seller had Virgin not dropped the ball on their second single "King For A Day".

[lyonslaforet]

funny and brilliant.........like most XTC's albums...

[WinIronRose]

Loved this...PMPL!

[DrRobDammet]

Hillarious! If you dont enjoy this, you dont deserve the band. I love the symbols chosen to represent different countries. Ell Oh ell.

[ibazookajoe]

This is great! I wish XTC would bring out a new album... :(

[watergirl2000]

Brilliantly creative!

Nice work.

[TerribleFLY]

That, and he probably felt like a baked potato by 82

[bandcouver]

I think the potato signifies the band coming from a small town ( Swindon ) where you do a lot of farming, growing your own food ( like potatoes ) and the lifestyle is far removed from that of a big city such as London. Hence the potato.

[FunkyWorm3288]

Andy Partridge has also described himself as a potato head in interviews lol in comparison to Colin Moulding "looking likw Rudolph Nureyev".

[SmurfHouseShow]

This is incredible.

[9gorillaz9]

i hate it!!! it is a load of crap!!

[jimbodiney]

shit

[txchilixt]

74!!!!!!! lol

[Goose4Lu71]

Andy Partridge's impression of Branson is spot on. Big up to my hometown boys...

[eeelectricboogaloo]

i wish their music was as funny as this video. :O

[ChasBeauregarde]

"You pay peanuts, you get monkeys." LOL!

[Elkahatchee9]

Brilliant...XTC is one of the best New Wave bands of all time

[dreamthinker79]

the browned up potato on a stick, timeless

classic example of dry brittish humor, i love it

[jimlea87123]

woof......

[JeffWeavil]

funny stuff...despite the 'over-cuteness'

[135wt]

mockery of themselves... wonderful. They laughed at all the pain in the ass stuff they went through to make an album without some "Ken action figure" LA-type breathing down their necks to do next big thing. All the better for it...

[ePhilosopher]

david cassidy, no wait you re andy partrdge family, ballad 4 a rainy day

[sabres431929]

whats xtc?

[ApolloBoy]

If you actually watched this, you would know by now.

[Littlegh0st]

(well, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys...)

[Plantaddictz]

um yeh- gd- but can i just ask wat's with the potato?

[eeelectricboogaloo]

ahahaha. hysterical richard branson! brilliant!

"what's your name, barry?" "barry."

[MangaGirlShadow]

OMG DUDe IT FELL OVER

[crimsonkng]

LOL. I love XTC. Sure wish they'd re-form.

[theholygoes]

Feckin Brilliant!!!! Loved every moment!!!!!

[Elkahatchee9]

This is hilarious! "Let's get pissed first!" LOL

[lennymccartney]

brilliant fun, wish they could bring it out on dvd. did they have help from adam & joe?(or vice versa)

[SheVoTheBoojiGirl]

Potatoes are the sexiest. Excellent choice!

[peterpank1]

Quotable quotes! "Hey Barry! What's your name!"

"My name is Barry."

"When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys."

Classic. And some quality cinematography! Hollywood has nothing on this!

[monkeytrousers]

....Which we make next

[panchirock]

I want to be in an island with andy partridge and his guitar...maybe with his potato too

[strongbutmighty]

AW! Andy wanted to be the good looking toy

[soggypicklemuncher]

I don't know exactly why but I feel like a pig after watching this. Oink oink!

[iamtomw]

where did you get this? is there one after oranges and lemons ? this is so cool

[escarcha]

That doll that represents Colin really looks like him!Amazing!

[oogie11]

[AnakaStar]

cute

[flowerpunkchip]

oh no, does it end there? i wanna see the rest of it... they must update it... oi Colin Andy, do the rest of it, never end it, like your music, genius

[ParadigmShift2007]

Fantastic! Fifty yards from the magic roundabout!

[gatasucia]

wish they'd make more of these

[warfig]

bizarre but true to the times man...

[chelskipete]

XTC original music thank god!

[mojojojocliche]

This is the most amazing thing in the world ever.

[tamalli]

I like "Hey, Barry--what's your name?" "My name is Barry..."

[JorJorMogBoy]

I love the Dear God controversy part and the fork prodding/burning. XD

[snapekat]

"Well, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys..." LOL! You know this had to be so fun to make!! I love all the voices they do for their managers and Richard Branson is a huge scream.

[comicstripdude]

Very bizarre. It's good to see that they can poke fun at themselves, especially at the Dear God controversy; I loved Andy's devil laugh XD

[frompixieland]

very funny!!!andy looks great

[cleverbobby]

Not just a great band, Andy Partridge is a funny clever basterd too!!

[ePhilosopher]

[banknockboy]

TOPTASTIC POP

[ePhilosopher]

oranges and lemons , reading rainbow, but make a record first

[jgc63]

ROTFLMAO!

[drilltime]

WONDERFUL..I'D LOVE TO SAY MORE-BUT THAT WILL DO..

[imitationleather]

Possibly one of the best things I've ever seen.

[VirginiaAllen]

by far their best video yet... 

[jzknuckles]

Good grief, they're completely out of their tree. Funny though :)
