[bigtone1348]

Anyone out there able to upload viv's paper round b side?

[Mangina9000]

[Jlipnicki]

the bard of Leytonstoned...

[PrankZabba]

2:39 Captured By Robots

[crosxtalk]

These guys are superb visually. Could you imagine seeing this at a live show today? whew!

[MrKipW]

With some Noises for the Leg thrown in!

[sleeksleeksleek1]

these guys ate there vitamins!!!

[seanhennessy]

Fuck me! lol.



[soulgalore]

This eclipses a lot of the Bonzos stuff. Hilarious, unnerving and these blokes can play. I like how Viv almost comes in too early for the last verse. Would love to see more clips of them but I don't think the band lasted very long.

[lechaise]

@soulgalore 4 songs out there somewhere, recorded for a John Peel session but I'm yet to track it down and hear it....

[gilat1]

The drummer was "Legs" Larry Smith. What a unique, zany, talented bunch!

[johnakni]

@gilat1

No,thats Ian Wallace.

[emilyoshiro]

OMG!!! THIS IS BLOODY MAD!! THANK U SON OF GOD!!!

[icouldhavebeenanyone]

Genius just genius 

[aikanae1]

OMG - how just how high did we get in the 60's?

[eunicefinger]

anyone know who the drummer is?

[micheljch]

@eunicefinger That would be the late great Ian Wallace (1946-2007)

[gR8FuLpOnTiAc]

this is cool!

[efleck999]

"no description available" ...so true!

[MarkJohn1244]

Go Bubs

[harvey1954]

Devo's babysitters.

[rubian77]

Just say no to drugs, boys and girls.

[strangeones4]

@rubian77 Only say yes to "alcohol". That was Vivian Stanshall's vice. This band that originated as the "Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band", influenced The Beatles. Paul McCartney produced "I'm the Urban Spaceman". "Honey Pie" from The Beatles "White Album", can only come from a band that seeked out old 20's/30's 78's at record shops only to make those songs their own!

[tapeduk]

to choose anothers form and make it..............thine

[tapeduk]

They sure don't make entertainment like that anymore

[strangeones4]

I think of the state of music today, and to think that not only was Vivian Stanshall doing this in the UK at the same time Frank Zappa, and Captain Beefheart were performing in America makes me very depressed. Music isn't art anymore, by any stretch of the imagination.

[TheFunkadelicFan]

Sick.

[googoplexable]

is he hitting a wooden leg or am i tripping

[rombsy]

@googoplexable It looks or rather sounds like a theremin built in the shape of a woden leg..

[Hectorschizoidman]

Isn't this Bonzo Dog Dooh-Dah Band????

[BognarRegis]

The groove on this reminds me of Captain Beefheart from the Safe As Milk era. Fucking brilliant.

[Hemulen40]

God , tis good !

[nuteski]

@Flickerfly no shit lol cheers anyway dude

[nuteski]

bill oddie!!!

love it!

[kenfig]

Splended stuff ; Viv might say that !

[satyavira]

Jarvis Cocker played this on his Nov 7th 2010 radio show.

[maggiemcgill]

Goofy & Creepy at the same time ~ Now that takes some talent!

[claxtondog]

it grooves!

[bigboxbobby2]

Wonderful

[Jlipnicki]

Better than sex. Or Communisim.

[sooperheromax]

did i just witness drugs?

[kyrastube]

so wonderful! another man I miss even if I never met him. <3

[spoonjarjarspoon]

Eleven moustachioed daughters, running in a field of fat, the moon is full, the mandrake screams, please come to our sabbat.

The changeling children shiver, round the fire their mothers dance, with strangely painted faces, that smile but never laugh.

The crow-pecked gibbet's victim swings broken in his cage, his hands cut down to make a crown, to wear as our homage.

Around and round the magic ring soft figures fastly rush, and wolf-like things and toads with wings whisper wetly "Come with us"

[Stationario]

Is there anyone in the world who can compare to this. Love the man, the times, the anarchy

[johnnymambo]

"no description available." Yep.....

[cottageorgan]

Does anyone know who the little guy in the dress playing guitar is? He's great! Viv, genius as usual. What a dull and restrained world we live in. Imagine turning on your T.V. and seeing this blasting out! You'd think the water source had been dossed with acid!! Sure beats The Fattest Loser or American Idol or whatever...what am I saying I don't even have a T.V. for this very reason!! Thanks so much for the post, I'm beaming...A

[mikesportmurphy]

@cottageorgan : that's Bubs White, also played on Bonzos "Let's Make Up And Be Friendly" and Stanshall's "Men Opening Umbrella's Ahead"

[raymondlang]

@cottageorgan

Totally agree!

[simonpenum]

Very few people could be described as TRUE originals. Stanshall is one of them

[Notebooked]

Wow...amazing.

I wonder what this is from, though...? Hm.

[pippasghost]

@Notebooked - It's from a BBC show called "Marty Amok", first broadcast in March 1970.

[L0K3]

i've just noticed Stanshall has short lengths of fishing protruding from his green wig, and superglued plastic flies to the ends.

[L0K3]

i miss this insanity

[potassiumrichfoods]

So this is how GWAR started out?

[menschenopfer]

i lold!

[ruebenroder]

I already lost hope .... I saw it a lot of times but then it was gone... quality is much better but mostly I'm happy to have it back.... Great!

[ruebenroder]

It's a long time since I saw this one here... quality IS better, but mostly I'm happy I can see it again... without it I really felt lost.... Great!

[beesleyc]

AMAZING upgrade! I used to love this even when it looked like it was all under muddy water, but THIS is more like it. THANKS!

[beesleyc]

AMAZING upgrade! I loved this even with a download that looked like everything was taking place under water. But this is really something! THANKS!

[dartboardpicasso]

@beesleyc My sentiments exactly. I'm so happy to see its back on YouTube in such better quality. I wonder if there's any more Big Grunt stuff out there?

[Smillsoid]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[Twistedest]

Fucking brilliant all the way around.

[outtrigger]

Anybody Know the lyrics to this please post would be a great Spaceseeed cover.

[bountybar]

This is outstanding!

[fistofonan]

Isn't it!

A BBC session recording of this song (and 3 other numbers) was rebroadcast on BBC 6music the other week, and I missed it. Gah!

[fistofonan]

GOOD!
