Of course the Diamonds were household names in their day. There was Big Gus, Tommy Boy, Donny 'The Shoe' McDoo and who could forget legendary quarterback Diamond Jimmy Rogers.
People may joke that all 80s raps sounded the same but it was the law back then.
This is without a doubt THE funniest video on youtube....simply because of how quentesentially 80's it is AND meerly because it begs the question why are an american football team even making a song?...more to the point, why did Glasgow ever even have an all singing all dancing American Football team hahaha...LOVE IT
so this was their response to the 1985 chicago bears's superbowl shuffle? this is absolutely rediculous. and im pretty sure there are high school teams now that could beat these guys easily.
u kidding glasgows one of the greatest citys in the world i got the single sent to me that same year by paul still have it after all thse years hehehe say hi to glasga for me ok ta
haha this video is funny as all hell. but why does the "quarterback" have such a high number? better yet, why does his number switch between 76 and 56 so much?
love this song the record was sent to me by paul birchard himself i still have it after all these years hes a great guy use to sit with him when he did his radio show called american on radio clyde hopefully paul can remeber that far back can any one tell me whats pauls been doing or how to get in contact with him i still have the photos taking of him and seeing this video brings back memoeries of glasgow are the diamonds still going strong evelyn
I worked alongside Paul at a Call Centre in Glasgow . He was still working there when I left which was only 2 months ago. The Call Centre is Response.
Whilst we were training, this video cropped up whilst I was training with Sky Customer Services and which Paul was also doing at the same time. Hope that helps.
One of those "so bad its good' Anyone ever notice how Europeans always sing like they are American; but when they talk, then they are European? AKA Phil Collins.
I have to say, however, that the song AND video have been locked in my head for about 2 days now...so credit it where it's due, it's definitely memorable!
Certainly a few rough diamonds in the cheerleaders. Did they steal that car going around the gorbals. Is that guy with the tache Tom Sellick from Magnum? I recognise the scheme-ettes, they now hock carpets up the barras.
Oh my god i was in this video (no14)played for this team a long time ago.Then lots of other teams .What was his nickname that played the piano cant remember the posers name.Remember the QBs hospital passes though remember him lads .
Got the nod about this from Big Paul Gallagher. Memories of Dallas, Abey punching the ground in vid, Donna gettin thrown in Southfork pool, bad 80's hairdo's, the junior Diamond's squad. LEGEND !
Bumped into Dorry today at swimming pool and told me about this. So many memories. Wonder how many would be interested in a reunion sometime. Great days!!!
fucking good, just saw this from tv =D
