I cannae stand the Sex Pistols and I still disagree with some of the lyrics of this song but all that pish aside this is a wonderful performance, I can't believe I never knew Ade Edmondson did this sort of thing.
God damn hes good, he'll always be eddie to me, so seeing him in this light it's like an episode that he's gotten right rotten drunk and found himself in a lounge club seeing because he's beaten up the real singer. fucking legend.
Don't know what's funnier, this performance or a bunch of kids who discovered the Sex Pistols like two years ago talking about how the guy who played Vyvyan in the Young Ones isn't punk enough to cover this song.
Great comic, excellent performer, great cover. Anyone who thinks he's taking the piss is missing the point entirely. Great songs can be covered in any style snd still have an impact. Anarchy in the Uk is one of them.
This is SOO funny... if a bit wicked towards The Sex Pistols. But then, the Sex Pistols never held back in satire, did they, so who're they to complain? Takes down the whole Sex Pistols myth which was nothing but a money-grasping show ever, at least after MacLaren got his hands on it, which was early. Anyway, if you want to see Edmondson in some of the best satire ever made, go for the TV 4-parter "If You See God, Tell Him". It's a classic!!!
@DUDEFROMDUTCHLAND hey you have to copy watch?v=6FTFifA3btU&feature=related that in to you browser after .com/ then press enter (youtube doesn't let you post an actually link 4 some reason)
@DUDEFROMDUTCHLAND He's not tryng to play it with the same intent that the Pistols played it with (Fucking love them, btw). It's comedy. He actually does a really good folk-punk cover of it with his band the Bad Sheperds.
Anyway, Rik and Ade invented punk comedy in the 80s.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what this guy is doing, is killing all the sense and value of the original song, the sex pistols, what they and general true punk represents!!!... FUCK THIS DUDE!!!.
@luizferpunk86 You obviously don't know anything. Ade was the Punk in the anarchistic series called 'The Young Ones' where he played Vyvyan (a character that reminds you a bit of Sid Vicious) He's a Sex Pistols fan as well. Johnny Rotten has also done a jazzy 'cocktail version' of Anarchy in the UK with his second band PiL. It's up on YouTube. Did he kill the sense and value of the song too?
@fuckthesystem789 You bloody idiot, he is keeping punk alive by doing this! I don't know what you think punk is but if you don't see that Ade is as about as Punk as it gets then you ain't a Punk...

@wilus1969 nonsense, without the original, there would be no song. It takes some balls to do a version of this and sound honest. Ade is no piss taker and you can see he truly loves the original, from the way he sings and performs it. Kudos to the Sex Pistols and Ade!

Great work! Love this cover.... Anyone notice at 1.15 there's Amy Winehouse looking completely bored and rude? I mean, jeez, it's better than the cr*p she sings, and a little respect or feigned interest at least? Maybe she's just drugged off her head...
just love the way the trombone player cracks up when he plays the Anarchic trumpet, a true performer. if youcan see the Bad Sheppards live, great stuff.
@shinerecordsgrog when u believe what u want to believe u live a lie, but acsepting truth contery to how you feel about it is honesty, and you may not like it but the commercialy packaged boyband things dead water man, its just not true, its complicated bollocks for shore, but never so simple. loving this cover its good fun.
for all the people who are missing the point, it's no more a mockery of true punk than the sex pistols, who were the idea of a manager, not the love of punk rock itself. go ade :)
