RIP Fred you made us laugh, thanks.

Looking at some of these comments about how it is all coming true I know where you are all coming from . As for the belly hanging over the wrangulers , well that is one thing I have manged to avoid , plus I always wear Levis . As for taking all night to do what I used to do all night : well , I can't do it lock , stock , and two smoking barrels .

[derekstocker007]

Good one Fred RIP...

[5000433]

Funny I thought I remembered this being released a couple of years before, 78 or 79.

The memory is obviously going as well in this ole swinger.

[blaggermouth]

It takes u all night, what u used to do all night.

[CaptainKarate]

Cracked me up first time I heard this in 80`s, still does today...unfortunately now its all coming true...!!!

The tight pants, takes me all... well you get the picture...!!!

Thanks for the smiles Fred, Gods speed to that big party in the sky, and keep `em all laughing up there!!!

[jjaazzman]

Used to love this song when i was a teenager. The remarkable thing is that the words are just as relevent now as they were 30 years ago, he is actually singing about me now. RIP Fred, another one gone far too soon

When walking into a disco [or whetever it's called these days] I AM offered a seat.

The 'music' is too-loud & I suspect I went to school with her ma & pa...

NOT using Vic yet so still in-with-a-chance.

[kartorseracing]

i think perhaps its a slim chance - and time to get the wedding suit out!

(this isnt kartorse racing by the way this is his daughter sungoddess91 although i'm sure he'll know you speak the truth as he loves this song :) )

[CATHAL172]

[annie482000]

"When you're feelin' as stiff as a Skin'ead's boot, you rub in Vick where you used to splash Brut and the latest punk fashion is your wedding suit......."

Annie :)

[RadioBazterd]

You just can't help but love it, I remember buying it (for my dad of course...lol)

[annie482000]

I bought my 7" vinyl for myself cos it was so funny at the time and I STILL laugh at the song even now!

Annie :)

[RadioBazterd]

I bought it for myself too really Annie (I'm just not owning up to it...lol)

[weeyin1155]

LOL This is new to us. Great fun share from Annie! Thank you. Hugs and stars..Jan and Susan.x

[annie482000]

New to you? Heheheheh, it was a big hit at the same time Joe Dolce's "Shaddap You Face" was at Number One in the Top 40. I've got the single and the song still makes me laugh when I hear it, like the lyrics "When you're feelin' as stiff as a Skin'ead's boot, you rub in Vick where you used to splash Brut and the latest punk fashion is your wedding suit......." Glad ya liked it, Jan!

My Primary School Teacher, Ed Pickford wrote this song. I was in his class in 1981 when this was in the charts. Incindetially kept of the Number 1 spot by Joe dolce and his "ShaddUpa ya Face"

[goahead100]

I remember this song from my youth (I was 19)I Don't know why. Maybe the lyric came into my head or maybe I heard it on the radio or tv However I typed it on you tube and discovered it a hidden gem. is he still going A.O.L.

[glenmere]

I was 18 when I heard this the lyrics stuck with me for some reason!.....You are right its a gem!..

[conniff44]
