  • haha this guy is great

  • thank god my parents let me grow up on the young ones!

  • am i the only one who noticed the angry amy winehouse at 1:17 ??

  • Eddie Hitler QPR !!!

  • 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.

  • WTF

  • I like it

  • Happy.

  • Brilliant! Go Ade!

  • anarchy in the YT!

  • brill ;)

  • Notice AMY WINEHOUSE at 1:16 she was alive then.

  • Nice version!

    

  • This has to be the coolest thing I've ever seen. :)

  • 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.

  • @Cretkensigh Good one! Or like hes swallowed something he shouldnt and passed out to an hallucinogenic dream!!!

  • not as good as s.p but still good :L

  • He is too adorable to stand.

    

  • Everything was perfect until the glaring lack of: "cunt tree". :) Cool rendition!

  • That is was punk meant to be. Full stop.

  • total. awesomeness.

  • notice the displeased look on Amy Winehouse at 1min 16sec.....

  • Only thing that would make this better is if Viv came out and said "What the fuck is this shite?!"

  • 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.

  • @helikestv Vyv is actually most punk by declaring himself VERY METAL lmao Ade is amazing!!!!!

  • what teh fuck ???

  • @djmouton40000

    You clearly aren't familiar with The Young Ones or Bottom. You're missing out.

  • 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.

  • utter utter utter utter utter bril

  • Who else came here for Sex Pistols

  • absolutely brilliant...!!!!

  • 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!!!

  • that surprisingly worked well

  • LOL nice!!!!

  • Genius. Pure Genius.

  • Someone's forgotten to go to the toilet?

  • This is so gay... No one can do it better than the sex pistols 

  • @DUDEFROMDUTCHLAND piss off hes just havin fun

  • @DUDEFROMDUTCHLAND oh and this guy is a comedic legend watch this watch?v=6FTFifA3btU&feature=re­lated thats him more punk then the sex pistols (jks)

  • @darthesgoobis123

    Dude, the link doesn't work O.o

  • @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.

  • @DIGIxPUNKx1996

    yes oke, now I understand why it's funny

  • @DIGIxPUNKx1996

    yes oke, now I understand why it's funny but it sounds like he sings: anti-christ but it's anarchist

  • Muy, muy, muy bueno!

  • 2nd best version of anarchy in the uk

  • he should do We've Got A Bigger Problem Now (The Dead Kennedys)

  • bring back bottom

  • What a wonderful man.

  • "TRUÄN"

  • Ade Edmondson=PURE GENIUS in every aspect!

  • Irony with swing!

  • great

    johnny 'll like this

  • Very... interesting..

  • King!

  • this is kind of funny i think...

  • @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?

  • @luizferpunk86 ade is way more punk than you will ever be.. wanabee

  • @luizferpunk86 idiot

  • like we say in greece he fucked the song's mother

    this version represents everything that the song criticises

  • like we say in greece he fucked the song's mother

  • the guy at 2.00 is in hysterics hahahahaha!!!

  • what the hell is this shit

  • ez nem Sex Pistols akkor nem kell!!!! this is not Sex Pistols so i dont need it....

  • Great stuff, I love the swingy big band thing, search for Richard Cheese, he does a similar thing.

    And as for the trumpet playing, any trumpet that sounds like Sweep in a bad mood is ok with me!

  • FUCK YOU!!

  • ki ez a nyálas fos? who is this shit? :D

  • fuck you

  • He destroyed what punk represents in just 3 minutes and 59 seconds, hate it!

  • @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...

  • @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....

  • @fuckthesystem789 He is punk rectal wart

  • The man is amazing. period.

  • i love this its amaxzing even my nans dancing along and shes 89! she wants the record! Adrian can play so many instuments!

  • fucking awful!!!!! i hate covers like that.....

  • Fuckin prick! What a bell end!

  • This is pretty damn dope

  • I'm kind of starting to fall in love with Ade.

  • Fuck this. It's like watching a high school teen version of Watchmen.

  • superb.

  • The best cover ever!

  • damn, this just prooves Ade can do anything <3 love him!

  • The best cover of a song ever.... Now I can picture Johnny rotten as vyvyan in the young ones

  • cant believe im saying this: i like it

  • Re: CFFDan Jazzpunk...funny! I just stumbled on this. Brilliant!

  • Why doesn't he sing that well when he sings with the Bad shepherds?

  • man this is fucked up...... all i have in my head now is The Bottom on heroin listening to the sex pistols.... fucking brilliant though :D

  • Comment removed

  • Smooth soave sophisticated!!!

  • 01:16 Amy Winehouse!

  • Love it!! There's the inital laugh when you realise what it is, then there's the joy of it being an actually musically competant prformance. <3 Ade.

  • Was that Terry Gilliam in the audience? :-)

  • about as funny as cancer

  • @SuperBeanson don't say that! you'll make me want to get cancer, it looks like a right laugh!

  • Ade, YOU RULE! =D Release an album or something man, we need to hear this talent more often =D

  • Comment removed

  • FUCK MOTHERSFUCKERS SON OF A BITCH

    I'll kill you mongrel

    UGLY WHORE ... You're good lead him ONLY HAS A RICH AND CITIZENS FUCK IDIOTS FROM NEW YEAR ...

  • Love this man. He pretty much can do whatever he sets his mind to, can't he? Mrs. Edmondson sure is digging on him, too.

  • Vivian.....is that your name ...

  • badass suit, but leave this to the Pistols.

  • not sure if the genius or absolute rubbish; and i love everyone involved!

  • no sure if the genius or absolute rubbish; and i love everyone involved!

  • this is awful!! this song should never be covered EVER!!!! EVER!

  • anyone see Amy Winehouse bored or coked up?

  • @findnpost YUP!!! HAHAHA!!

  • If I was Johnny Rotten I'd punch the poofter in the face!!!

  • @skeleman1963 Johnny Rotten? That would be the pathetic loud-mouthed twat who now makes his money advertising butter on TV?

  • @skeleman1963 Adrian has the advantage over Johnny of not only being far less obnoxious but also being a much more talented musician.

  • A true british Nutter

  • I wonder what Johnny Rotten thought of this. O_o

  • Ade is a FUCKING LEGEND! This is total epic. I've never seen a youtube video more full of win than this!

  • awful.

  • Met him last night! He's such a funny, talented and kind guy!

  • I fancy him!!!!

  • Love the black fellow at 1:59

  • @WilloLFC06 the man is called Sam Moore. he is the Sam from Sam & Dave. fantastic voice on him

  • @bobbybland100 Ye', and he's a legend.

  • brilliant :-P

  • Big improvement on the original!

  • @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!

  • Eddie can sing!!!

  • He can sing!! I was not expecting that. I didn't think I could love this guy any more but I actually do after seeing this. What a fucking legend!!

  • hehe look at jen there :D I love them!!

    jenade forever! a talented family!

  • 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...

  • Yeah, but that's Amy Winehouse and nobody gives a shit what she thinks lol.

  • just when i thought this wasn't badass enough

    i spy TERRY GILLIAM in the audience!

  • teh i love this!!! i love versions by ade, motley cure and megadeth -but not the sex pistols XD bahahaha

    i would love to live in his house :3

  • @iAmRichiesLovebird wat????? this song should never b covered!

  • this is the greatest thing i have ever seen. he is a geinius. and i dont give a shit what anyone else thinks.

  • i think he is brilliant. Fantastic in pantomime

  • I think you will find that WAS comedy rayjensen.

    Stick to breathing in and out, dont type.

  • Ahh rayjensen, you see thats why you should stick to the old breathing in and out and lay off the typing.

    I expect you will be moving on to questioning my sexuality and/or just a string of vitriolic obscenity next.

    Deep breaths and try not to just smash your face and fists into the keyboard in lieu of having a point.

  • how old are you ? 4 ? cry baby

  • love adrian edmonson, but thought this would be crap :L

    it isn't its actually really LOVE IT!

  • 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.

  • love that mrs. edmondson is rocking along at 2:59

  • is that amy winehouse at 1:17

  • i love ade XD

  • cool as

  • cool as what? ...ice...air con? ...awsome..ade is a multiinstrumentalist...and a good one at that...he can also sing very well it seems

  • i love this, never much of a fan of the sex pistols, the reason being they werent punk, a commercialy packaged boyband with scripted attitude.

    i think one of the clash's roadies

    " the sex pistols would make you wanna smash your head against a brick wall, however the clash would give you a reason"

  • You basically summed up Sex Pistols in one comment. I think I might love you.

    I actually think Ade and Jools Holland do a far better Sex Pistols than the Sex Pistols xD

  • @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.

  • i love ade singing! <3

  • Oi!

  • ade started jazzpunk

    he is fucking epic as hell

  • He didn't started it but he does it bloody well - just got tickets to see him in a local village hall.. mental

  • @vaudevilleUK look up PiL - Anarchy in the UK (Cocktail Version) johnny beat every on to it despite the original haha love aid's verstion tho.

  • @CFFDan i second that movement.

  • I'm sure I've heard this song before but I just can't quite put My finger on it.

  • it's by the Sex Pistols

  • he is amazing :D and has a load of talent :D

  • i love this now chaz

  • well done, indeed. i would say if i was english.

  • This sounds amazing. Ade has a really nice voice.

    Thanks for putting this up. It is much better than studying!

  • 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 :)

  • Surely this is exactly what Richard Cheese does?

  • yes, and don't call me Shirley!

  • frikking

    amazing

    <3

  • That's a very big trumpet Ade has! (oo-err)

  • Dont you just love when you see Jennifer do a little dance?

  • cant beleive ade could get any better in my mind but he has, LEGEND!!!

  • This is amazing.

    It made me appreciate the sex pistols :P

  • i love the actual song

    this is pretty funny

    they didn't necessarily ruin it as they mocked it

    hell it made me laugh

  • Ade is brilliant :P

    he should be dressed as Vyvyan once again on this song :P

  • He is amazing. AND FUCKING GOURGUSS! xD

  • yuppers he is <3
