@ModernBabylon Making myself look like a twat here, but is he really?? (bear in mind I am drunk whilst asking this so please be kind with your answer)
Young folk of the British Isles...please pick up some guitars and bring back some down to earth humour to the cynical saccharin drenched profit pop poop, pseudo intellectual upper class indie dross,designer tattoo punk and same old metal junk ..S.O.S.
oh man, this tune always brought a smile to my face and has done again, nice one sultans fo ping. also i lost count of the top jumpers, tops, cool new shirts n jackets i lost at a rave....'old on,... where's me jumpa??
I asked the DJ at an alternative night to play this one time, he got all excited saying he'd play it next instead of the usual crap requests he'd had so far. Sadly the nu-metallers there were little young to remember it's greatness.
he fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. when he hit the ground face-up, someone ripped the ugly tree out of the ground and beat him with it.
WISE MAN: I would say that the music you use to accompany good times becomes good through them... The time you spend alone,... is surely worth less than the time you spent belting its nonsensical lyrics out on walks back from the pub.
OLD MAN: Preposterous! Next youll be telling me not to be ashamed of remembering all those lyrics word for word.
WISE MAN: What lyrics?
OLD MAN: (takes deep breath) My Brother knows Karl Marx! Met him eating mushrooms in the Peoples Park!..."
What year is this? Heard this song at Mutton Indie Night last Fri, and somewhere in my brain I remembered it!!!! Didn't realise I even knew who SOP were!!! ;-D
Guessing 1992, because myself (and friends) bought some Radiohead Cd's from the bands "pasting table"..............we all flogged the rare Radiohead CD's years later due to them being on 3000 issues.....................I listen to Ping more than Radiohead!
LOL when I saw this at Brixton at the "Last ever" carter USM Gig the lead singer was wearing some dodgy looking spray on pants, I thought that was strange until I just saw on this video he has none on. Interesting.
This is excellent. The number of times the dance-floor of my local indie club has been spilling to burst while people fell over each other jumping around to this X)
id lyk to tell all my fellow youtubers that the lead singer of this band is my friends cousin (who would lyk their identity to remain anonymous):D and if ur looking for him he has spent a few years in Japan teaching english to the people less fortunate than him..what a great man:P he is now living in england. i just thought id set the record straight:D
went to every gig when first out in shires areas ' when no more than 20 folk in a hall haha was mint , they could sell out most places now . bring back the ping
Reminds me of Ripon College. Great times out there ! Best times of my "studying" life. Big up for Ripon UCRYSJ 1993-1995 promotion. dAvid from that little french island !
This guy had a moment YEARS ago when the gig was moved from a large location to a smaller one on the night and proceeded to deride the audience making note that we were school kids, spat at the audience then dived off the stage into the small to medium sized crowd- I still remember that right hook landing on is jaw.......a treasured moment- I hope it still hurts the cunt
many years ago was security in a club now defunct in the munster area these ass holes were playing, they insulted the punters (and there was a lot )up to there bollocks,the crowed as the night progressed said fuck this and ran the stage twas halarious lead singer was nutted by some crazed long haired dude and there was much inflicting of pain and suffering upon the other membembers of the group by various punters .
They are class, they played at a hippy festival in crosshaven in the early 90's we snook out to the bonfire to catch this song it was the best ever. Rock on lads....
