I Want To Be Straight [Official Video]

[dixiedean10]

i remember hearing this as a kid loving it not having a clue what it was about and did i find out

[talkingpointless]

BIG W has ruined this song.

[zooropah82]

@talkingpointless Why? You can't even hear his guitar. And I think it's good, it gives a reagge-ish feel to the song. Wilco is great man!

[BlutoUSN]

...At Last...

[catey62]

Ian has got the most got beautiful smile...so gorgeous and cheeky...love it :-)

[longclawson]

Musicians............

[adamkincaid1234]

I didn't know Wilco played for the Blockheads.

[JZ8KJ]

[oldboydrummer1]

Mr Watt Roy is a legend !!!! wonderfull music from Ian and the boys.

[UNBALIEVABLETEKKERS]

Wilko.. ffffft!

[alphacarinae57]

clever from Trevor



[asktunes]

What he said. Ian was so brilliant, a creative genius...

[pacree]

Wilco Johnson was in Dury's band for awhile? that is too friggin' cool. :)

[Kats987124]

I love Ian Dury's music and am very glad that my parents had "The Best Of Ian Dury" in a CD pile. I was singing this once when I when I was 5 years old, just before I was going to school, my mum told me not to sing it when I was there, I asked her why and she said,

"I'll tell you when you're older."

[couscoustv]

I have never seen this before and I think it's splendid.

[hashgei]

I wanna be big and do it for less, LIVE BIG FOR LESS

Nice rip off Woolworths!!

[TheKeetymad]

deepstarr seems to be a bit of a pratt!

[Deepstarr7020]

"I Want To Be Straight"

Well stop poking assholes :)

[elh666]

"Moi noim is Daiyvid."

[wazza55able]

underrated? Nobody in this band is less than top-notch!

[ramacure]

STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sjofarthotellet3]

why the hell are there ads here

[balioffering]

Thanks to Woolworths in Australia for using this so I remembered it...the old ska, you just can't beat it!

[MonsterHorror]

Anyone else think that Norman looks like Tim Curry in Rocky Horror with that make up on?

[GaryNull]

Wilko lol

[martinbaggott]

The guvners gone now, but my god the man left an impression!!!!

[wendysweet]

Brilliant! so sad he's left us :-(

[halag]

God how could you not love this. I have never seen this vid before. What a fantastic bunch of musicians and people. Brilliant stuff!

[KEXXOFF]

Спи спокойно!

[addioalre]

Mr. Ian Dury  n. 1.

[spamviking]

0:28 looks like Steve-O a bit there

[ace69er]

Pity it took me almost 30 years to appreciate this mans talent!

I remember when this song came out. I liked it but didn't appreciate its significance! I was too young to...(wasn't a muso then either!)

[alcockell]

Then if this the official video - how about remastering it?

[ace69er]

@alcockell MY thoughts EXACTLY!! At least a hi-fi audio track!

[AlexGoldhill]

Such a classic. Shame frosties butchered it, but that seems to be the fate of great songs.

[ace69er]

@AlexGoldhill Target got a parody of it on Aussie TV atm! Really lame! I said just last night to my 2 female friends the poor Ian would be rolling in his grave if he could hear it.

Even his voice was parodied!

Disgusting!

[me1onhead]

Wilco was born to be a Blockhead...Haha!

[me1onhead]

Loving Norm's Bass. Arguably one of the UK's underrated bass players.

[ace69er]

@me1onhead I agree, HE was/is fucking GOOD! hope he's still slapping!

[MbdslEst1964]

@me1onhead The one thing Norman most definitely isn't is underrated!

[SteveGad]

@me1onhead I agree 110% with that bro. He carries the entire track almost single handedly.

Ian looks great on this, still sadly missed and we'll never see his like again..

[MbdslEst1964]

@me1onhead Norman underrated.......NOOOOOOOOOOOO­!!!!!!!!!

[originalveghead]

@me1onhead I once saw him playing with Wilco J - when he broke a bass string mid tune. He carried on playing, using the remaining strings, while a roadie restrung the missing one. Amazing.

[Suziellinton1]

btw sex and drugs and rock and roll is a great movie!

[MissVK76]

love!

[sweeneytodd011]

class tune tune n for an old vid' it aint dated eiva!

scher-weet!!

[xesionprince]

Brilliant!



[ETIDiot82588]

Wilko.

[x42brown]

Although I remember the song well I don't remember this video. I do like it a lot.

[mightywhite41]

[Paviola7663]

Classic, it's for the Morkham!!

[airwicker7]
