@Primordialfan1 What rubbish! This is pure west country English, come down direct from the Saxons who settled there 1500 years ago. The only thing "Irish" about it is that this rather archaic English was the English that was taken to Ireland by "planters" in the 16th Century and thus became the English that the Irish heard and learned. NONE of the sounds in here are anything at all to do with Irish sounds(a frankly subtler language than this homely stuff).
@Primordialfan1 Sorry Primordial But be honest: were you really aware that many of the "Irish" accents that you hear originate almost entirely in the 16th cent English of the plantations? I mean the tudor plantations. An identical thing happened in Mid Wales! Ulster is a different matter, of course. Linguistically Irish is much subtler and more sophisticated that this rough stuff. Great joke is that the English, laughing at how the Irish speak, are laughing at their own ancestors.
@Alowishius A joke explained is never funny but Scumfleck is saying the wurzels are suffering from ergotism--a physical and mental conditon associated in the past with rural poverty--The disease is caused by eating old rye flour(which grows a poisonous bacteria that can cause convulsions, mental imbecility and visions! But he means it kindly!
More than you wanted to know: the convulsions and visions of the witnesses in the Salem witchcraft trials may have been caused by ergotism
@CobinRain You could have just said ergotism and I would have thought it out myself, I just couldnt find the comment, but thanks for the explenation :D
A sousaphone ?.....maybe Phil wasn't telling the truth,he's usually very truthful.......sort of.Although it doesn't look like he's playing much at all.
@ashthemainman2012 They didn't you let you play live on top of the pops for a while, cos the shoe was live and the muck ups would have knackered the show.
My pal Phil "Phibber" Munchausen claims he worked on the farm with these 3 loafers in 1976, when there was muckspreading to be done they used to vanish down the pub,quaff scrumpy and play the banjo,tuba and accordion .When the boss asked them were they'd been they just used to say "OO arr OO arr".....
i dont know who is andy roddick and i dont give a fuck but did anyone else notice that the tuba player wasnt playing the tuba when I could clearly hear the tuba being played?
What was this satirical version based on? I recall the original was "I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates" but cant recall who made it famous. Any help?
@JimmyJunkster Thanks. Just went to listen to Brand New Key by Melanie. I remember thinking the song was cute tat the time, nothing more, but revisiting it just now, her voice was amazing - so strong and true. Or maybe its just because of the contrast with the Wurzels ....?
Andy Roddick should get a promotional fee for all the attention he's brining to The Wurzels. Thanks. Now I'll have this song in my head for a long time.
Haha, yes roddick also sent me here...but I'm from basically the same place as them, they've played in our town so many times lol...corny as hell but it's kinda funny
if your reading these comments a-rod,what the fuck is wrong with you.shouldnt you be nailing mrs roddick,yeah just banged one out to her pictures on google,sorry
Andy Roddick sent me yes! But what I want to know is why was Brooklyn Decker following Andy on twitter last week, but now she isn't following him anymore?
this is the greatest song ever!!!! this was before i was born just wanting to know were they popular back then? it seems like it. i heard it on am radio when i was at uni a few years back (listening to football), became a great drinking song.
Fuck every body who tries to do a Norfolk accent and end up sounding like the Wurzels.
