[Dawoodcock]

@youngsavage54321 Rob McKahey was with Microdisney, he and Mick Lynch are Irish (from Cork where they both now live).

Check Kev Hopper's website for a bit about a brief reuinion a few years back.

[MrWayneJP]

Download this. Let's get it to Xmas no.1 in the UK for 2011. :D

[diskochimp]

This actually seems weirder now than it did then!?

[CanaryStarFish]

Remember this from the days when tv in the Uk finally went 24 hour and has to rank as probaby the most bizarre great track of all time

[Airwaves1914]

Truly a forgotten beauty

[jonquil4000]

Thanks for posting, I remember seeing this on MuchMusic!.

[hadders81]

Always reminds me of a mad weekend in Kildare followed a couple of weeks later by a mad weekend in Paris in 1998. Good times indeed!

[canecreek00]

I remember only seeing this once back in 1988 on saturday morning UK TV and it stuck in my mind ever since , i've searched for it on youtube from time to time with no luck ... then today Bingo!!!! .... Thank you for uploading !!!!!!

[stanwax]

Pure class - loved this song from all those years ago and Im so glad I have found it here. Thanks for taking me down a very happy part of memory lane.

Rob

[vivalapsych]

[FatRoland]

A friend tried to describe this video to me in a bar today. Kinda had to see if for myself...!

[bhjames6025]

Genius, just genius. What do have these days to compare?

[DippShits]

@bhjames6025 'Primus' always sounded like a metal version of these Brit Twits!

[Orbit91]

@DippShits Irish.

[digitalbobdeluxe]

just brilliant!

[mutoid1]

i burnt me arse off nettles droppin a log on a small island in west kerry

[JohnnyCriptic]

I'd forgotten how biblically arrousing...in a hillbilly-hollywood stylee...this 'homage to the big CH was...cheers for reminding me...now I can return to the Alabama gospel...

[tubedommo]

Absolutely de biz. great 'pipes effect'

[badapple887]

amazing. saw them in late 80's in leeds - wow

[rorycollie]

amazing music.saw them at the citadell,st helens .drummer could possibly  have been on acid.

[tubedommo]

I know that drummer well, and what you say is very possible :-)

[clemzzz]

I sat on some acid once and my bum got burned..oooch

[rorycollie]

your brain's in your bum and it got scorched TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[25diethylamide]

Thou shalt not bonk thy neighbor's wife!

[TommyAtkins1966]

Lights, Camel, Action

[sbilts]

Bit like Primus or vice-versa...

[brunosis]

Completely wonderful.

[vegetubleman]

Brilliant!

[skybunkerboy]

"bushes that refuse to burn"

[SoulEater5555]

I love this song my dad used to sing bits of it to me when i was little great stuff :)

[Joesus5000]

@SoulEater5555 Same here man!

[AndySabola11]

My friends and I listened to this album on acid in grade 12.

I concluded that Stump was the most brilliant band ever at the end of the night, but i can no longer really articulate why.

[tubedommo]

:-)

[Thoronghil]

u said it

[jdrukman]

mad brilliant genius

[Wantthosedaysback]

Lights ,Camel , Action !!

[vastariner]

This actually reached the top 75 in Britain. Hooray!

[TommyAtkins1966]

Thou Shalt Not Bonk Thy Neighbors Wife

[Triumph1050cc]

Thanks for posting this! I still have a 12" of theirs in the loft. I have 600+ VHS videos up there from 1981 onwards, and on one of them is Stump's live appearance on The Tube, plus an interview after they aired the "Buffalo" video... I promise to dig it out and put it up before Xmas!

[frenchaccent]

please do! we're gonna hold you to that! :-)

[toothickhick]

Oh please do...Stump were so good

[CPGagie]

Just to remind you to get up in the loft ;)

[frenchaccent]

[frenchaccent]

@Triumph1050cc still waiting! :-)

[rmckim]

[spokest]

[SteveLehocky]

@Triumph1050cc PLEASE DO. WE NEED MORE STUMP

[TommyAtkins1966]

They are an Irish band

[TommyAtkins1966]

Charlton Heston put his vest on...

LIGHTS, CAMEL, ACTION

[nikkormac]

sounds like "nights! camels! traction!" to me... :D

[fryBASS]

lights camel action

[WAYNE131966]

remember this from 1984 ish on cfny in canada they ran a video hour on tv for a year  some good odd acts

[Whistlechops]

Not their best song, still can't find Everything In It's Place. 3 stars.

[Cavitation68]

Don for Chickens,aka Mick Lynch ,includes this in his live set..funny song...check him out,he's still gigging!!!

[cangetoutofbed]

tune .see them with s.l.f in the 80s got booed and piss thrown at them.......

[taffy2003]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[unabobmber]

Not one for the masses but for those who remember it a brilliant moment.

[masada42]

Thanks for posting this, I remember seeing this video several years back on MuchMusic. It was so bizarre, but memorable!

[fishbone342]

Thank god for John Peel

Miss him and his shows soooo much

[bassinspace]

This is the most brilliant music/video I have ever seen on Youtube. If you've ever heard of MGMT then you'll see where they've got their inspiration from. Even if they've probably never heard of Stump.

So much music, so little time.

[smugglertrev]

Brilliant! Always loved this tune!

[DaveCromwell]

RIP indeed.

[UberCine]

Exactly what I wanted to see and hear. Goodness, if only Chuck had possessed 1/1000th of the wit displayed here. Saw Stump live in '88. Love you people.

[burlearth]

I didn't know Heston was supposed to be a comedian.

[UberCine]

Wit and comedy are nearly exact opposites.

[Dawoodcock]

You can get both Stump albums plus more from tomorrow on a 3 CD issue.

[dudgeoh]

Heard it on John Peel back in the day and I bought "A Fierce Pancake" just on the strength of this track alone. I really enjoyed the album, but could never find any others that Stump did.

[tablaqueen]

Yay! thanks so much for posting this! it's been going through my head all day!

[stug1664]

RIP Charlton Heston

[KevinConundrum]

I remember this so well! Great stuff!

Of course what brought it to mind was the fact that Charlton Heston died today. Strange that this record was the first thing I thought of rather than all the great movies he starred in! Fitting tribute to the man anyway :) R.I.P.
