[llrogetom]

It took me back to when I was but a four year old.I received it for Christmas 1981 and clearly remember listening to it with my dear father in the years that followed.thank you.

[TheEileenRose]

Loved it took me back to when I used to read to my own son and he still remembers it now 36, brilliant. Hope my grandson enjoys it as much as his Father, Yes that's you Harry

[Drutriskel]

[evilchunk]

I haven't heard this in over 20 years!! I used to listen to it over and over again. "'follow me!' and ran head-first into a tree!" used to make me laugh every time. Thank you for putting this on!

[EllieinOz]

[dodgyb2001]

@evilchunk Me too!

[hecklas]

heard this on Ed stewarts radio 2 show christmas moring ahhh the memories

[Ellie112001]

Yes after looking at all the evidence I believe that you may be right and there may be a miscarriage of justice. Hissing Sid may well have been framed!

[hurnethehunter]

Hissing Sid was framed

[KingsleyAimless]

"Hissing Sid has swallowed Toad" remains one of the most memorable lines from my childhood!

Thanks so much for uploading this :)

[ITT56RLC]

[Shell060]

Thanks! I thought I would never hear that again! it was one of my faves as a small kid but somehow got lost as I grew up.

[PembrokeRoadN15]

This was the first record I ever shoplifted!

[newall7]

i remember listening to this song

[blagger56]

Same for me, we'd lie in on a Sunday morning, breakfast in bed for my wife and I, reading the papers, Where have the years gone, bloody hell, I must be getting old LOL

[ludlow37]

I've got this on 7 inch vinyl. I was about 7 years old......The Smurfs were pretty cool too.

[alcus10]

cahoot06 you are right about Noel Edmonds. When he had a radio 1 show on sunday mornings many years ago he started the "Hissing Sid is innocent " campain.

[demodudez]

this is just great i wish there was more them out there

[pertuk]

Hissing Sid is innocent!

[kitty3309]

Oh my god! I so loved this when I was little XD

[ytceejay2008]

Rats! I wish I knew it! Lol!

[WilcoxTabs]

[j4ffski]

CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[omegacds]

Thanks.

[katyglock]

your mom goes to college

[andytorr84]

I used to listen to this as a little kid. Whilst marching around a room if I remember right... :|

[rafcosford]

We used to be able to listen to this sort of stuff along with the pop & classics before radio stns. started playing only one sort of music. Loved this, well written & performed. Bought it.

[spmcghee]

ohh my god someone like this i loved this when i was 13

[nickfromni]

Why is the chicken farting right at the beginning of the video??

[uggla03]

ffs my first ever vinyl the single with hissing sid on the bside lol

[Beerridingstables]

this is well gd!

[queenyt84t]

OMG I had this record years ago when i was a kid.

[rumpleman99]

Hissing Sid is INNOCENT!

[bulldog9275]

Hissing Sid wants thrashing with a pooy stick, he is a good old fashioned baddie

[HarryBallbag]

They don't make 'em like they used to. Wonderfully endearing.

[bethangreaves]

fabulous - thank you!

[XxTemptedAngelxX]

-Is happy- I remember this song =D

[JenniHall29]

Does it really matter what you believe ? as long as you believe in something ! Long Live the Woodland Brigade !

[fatg1t]

If anyone believes cliffm4 then you are as idiotic as he is for posting his stupid lie!

For him/her to put that is like me saying the same thing about any song written well let's see now....I was 8 in 1981 so give it a few years for the years later part of the comment, I think it would have to be at least 5 so that would make it any song in 1986 onwards which like cliffm4's comment is preposterous and rubbish!

[Durbs75]

Ah yes, Hissing Sid. How innocent we all were!

[stargatefan067]

Thank you for this video! I have been telling my daughter about this sone for ages and she didn't believe me it was real, jsut thought I was daft and mad! I loved this at the time and it still brings a smile!

[mickyshell0612]

I was trying to remember the words to this song when singing it to my daughter so thought i'd look here...and by chance you've made a great post... thankyou for the memory x my siblings and i also used to listen to this on 7" vinyl when we were kids! Fab to bring back old memories

[meltonmowbray2003]

What a great song! Thank you so much for posting it. Takes me back to my childhood. I was 7 years old and my class at school acted out the song to the whole school! I played Batty Bat - so many good memories!

[JenniHall29]

I have this on 7" record and still love it, even though I am all grown up now. My dad had an 'I shot Hissing Sid' t-shirt in the 80's :)

[harpyangel]

i thought at the end it was 'with his wings spread out quite flat' not 'like that' lol who is right?

[cliffm4]

i wrote this song when i was 8 i sent it in to a comp on a telly prog nothing came of it years later someone released it i have no proof it was my story im gutted

[mickyshell0612]

Really!! If thats true then sorry for ya

[DaiWomble]

Takes me back to my childhood, bath-time on Sundays, that's when charts used to matter!

[bobgeldof08]

that was brill never heard it before mum just showed me and i love it lol

are there any more or was it a one off

[boltyboy69]

I use to have the record of this on 7" my aunt bought it for me at christmas in the 80's. I wish i had it now so my son could hear it. But thanks to you he can. Thankyou

[Ellie112001]

It's so cool that you all love this one so much... makes me smile every time I read y'comments.. thanks a mil!!!

[diaub2]

In 1980 we came over to England for a holiday and captain beaky was being played on the radio all the time my husband thought it was the best, i lost my husband about three years after we came home but i still have the record.

[Donnymedic]

Pure genius.....ah happy days x

[jamesjrl]

[pixienubbins]

The whole LP was great,, worth getting my turn table fixed to play it to my daughter!

Loved this as a child and it still has a firm place in my heart! THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS ON!!!!!

[bikezz]

I still think that Hissing Sid is innocent - he was framed - a cunning ploy by Beaky and his band, they planted Toad. Hissing Sid didn't stand a chance.

[rockstu77]

I used to have the Captain Beaky album when I was young in the late 70s. Still sounds great!

[donning]

Memories.

[RussinTirnaNog]
