Julian Cope - I Gotta Walk 1994 TOTP

[adamtzsch]

Walking's murder on the hips.

[eofios]

F****'in' lunatic...great!! Thanks for the post, best laugh I've had in a while.

[feline1973]

why couldn't all records in the charts in 1994 been like this! Apart from the odd Stereolab tune everything else was sh1t.

[Snotra]

@KidVibrascope - ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN!!

[Snotra]

....ummm....awful!

[KidVibrascope]

@Snotra What d`you want glitzy prefab boy/girl bands or the real deal

[micmacmoc]

doobie doobie doobie!

[copeyattamsworth]

I will be.

[slappedcheek]

totp wanker audience........shoulda shroomed em up and locked em all in.......welcome to real life

[agghtee]

Mayo's face at the end of it is classic. When they bring back TOTPs lets make sure Sir Cope is amongst the top 10!

[paulsturgulewski]

this was a fun find on the internet. thanks for sharing.

[adambastard]

FANTASTIC, i love this song.

[agghtee]

My Dad is wrong.......

[micmacmoc]

that is still the best thing on utube, stevewright, what a ??nt!

[micmacmoc]

fuckin' A

ha ha ha ha

heh!

[frothsof]

haha amazing

[EnormousHuntBall]

Gotta love the drude, but the confused teens in the audience make this a classic.

[kinksbeatlesstones]

Iggy does this stuff MUCH better!

[Hellishhorse]

saw his Bass for sale in a guitar shop in Bath [England]...black,beaten-up,"f­lying V" type thing..£2,500!!!!!...did'nt buy it..can't play the bass anyway! P.S;What the f**k is this bloke up to?..not a lot on his website..is he off writing another book about rocks? cum'on Drude get gigging and touring I'm bored!

[francisteardrop]

Brand new out this past month, Black Sheep, his best in years...

[Hellishhorse]

Cheers! I've just found out! [can't find the album in the "shops" tho']....does this mean the angry one will be touring soon? ...lets hope so! eh?

[wildenfree]

He does tour

But its all kinda accoustic stuff, I lost interest after Peggy Suicide to be honest, I used to adore the guy.

[Hellishhorse]

I'd have a listen to his new one-"Black Sheep"....its going back to his old stuff.Seen him recently with his alter-ego band Brain-Donor......A local gig last year was cancelled 'cos he did his back in pulling up a tree!...but he's disapeared since then.

[georeff23]

"do" "skrew" this wa my first introduction to mister cope.... and hes not wrong....this is the world!

[julesgreaves]

I had my first tattoo thanks to this faze of juless druid ways. starcar the last track off autogeddon...dats it ime gettin a tat ha ha.

[kosmojet]

Julian has always been a fave (except for recent albums) since the teardrops and onward. Massively underappreciated

[RevRabbitNov63]

- Bugger - !...

- Actually, I were thinking of his similarly-themed but diffo tune 'Drive, She Said'...

...Please allow me to shut the hell up now...

[RevRabbitNov63]

...Does this tune not both reference & simutaneously turn inside-out 'Drive My Car' by Da BeDulls (...whom I lurve) - ?!...

- Then again, JC's prob. so into some obscure Krautrock here he'd think this notion trite...

[betweentides]

Best anti-car culture song ever!

[KidVibrascope]

Remember this one well. What a performance in shamanistic dressing gown and daffy duck underpants! Brilliant.

[blackmore4]

Funny to think that just a few years earlier the girls in the TOTP front row were rather excited at the prospect of Cope underwear. Here you know they're appalled!

[georeff23]

Nice, but have you got the Joy Division Oven Gloves to match?

[stegnest]

last of the micmacmochicans - he's beautiful

[postyesterdayman]

One of my favorite ever Cope tv spots...the fact that a song as raw and noon-commercial as this ended up on a show like Toppy is amazing. Bet they (the producers) were shitting themselves when this went down!

[auntiephos]

Is that Simon Mayo at the end?

[desson40]

Very possibly the last good thing on top of the pops.

[puppyshunter]

I have been a devout member of the Drudion since the 1980s. And I have never before seen this AWESOME (in other words, completely BARKING) performance. They don't make alternative rock stars like they used to.

[HumGuitar]

I've never seen Julian look like this. Hilarious. He looks like the last of the mohicans. By the way, what is the meaning of "The Archdrude"? Also what album is this song off?

[giNgkoC]

It's off 'Autogeddon' (1994)

[auntiephos]

'Drude' is a conjunction of 'Druid' and 'Dude': the combination of ancient spirituality and rock'n'roll. JC in his curiously egocentric yet self-aware kind of way, refers to himself as The Archdrude.

[giNgkoC]

Through the wonder of modern technolgy, that indelible lesion in my brain is made visual again! All I remember of this is his bizarre 'native' stance at the very end of the performance.

F@cking classic! And I still don't drive a car to this day...

[osterburg69]

classic cope, thanks for that!

[micmacmoc]

barkingly brilliant!
