I have every reason to believe that the cast had no idea he was going to sing. Look at Dennis and Bombers reactions! It's the way he asks "do ye kna I can't be myself?", it's just too realistic.
Or it's just good acting and directing!!? If you look at the clip again, you'll see that Oz is never singing in a shot when the lads are talking - that would have been a nightmare to edit/dub - so he's actually not singing at the same time (sorry for the nerdy reply). This version of the song is pure class. I like Nail's voice and pace a lot better than any other I've heard. From what I gather it was never publicly recorded or released - A HUGE shame!!!
@myrf Aye could be the case like, hadn't noticed that before til you mentioned it. It's definitely the best version of the song, i've never heard of their being a recorded version either. It's surprising mind, you would have thought they'd have tried to capitalize on the popularity of the show and bring it out as a single.
To say its better than Merle's original may sound crazy but it just is.......brilliant job Mr Nail.

Brilliant i was amazed when I saw this back in the 80's. Like the bearded guy said " How can a sound like that come out of someone as ugly as him?"
Check the drummer at 2:52. is it Midge Ure?
