  • 50 thousand watts of power hahahaha

  • hahahaha, this rules.

  • This was originally from the infamous 'Spunk' bootleg.

  • Comment removed

  • Too much too young,...

  • why why oh why is all the photos of these videos filled with sid vicious !?!?!

    Glen Matlock played bass here and was a fantastic bass player and the musical genius in the band.

    Hence why the pistols fell apart after Sid joined.

    Glen Matlock deserves way more fekking credit !!!!

  • Love the originalllll, and doubt it's "people's songs," sounds like "fucking songs that we could do." Nice try Sex Pistols, I think your attempt is endearing.

  • Noble attempt to transcribe the words

  • rotten i think he maybe taking the piss i dunno

    i could be wrong

  • An' I flarala wahbah.. Stop Shop!

  • 0:15 i got that poster

  • LOL I love it...

  • lyrics are utterly mindblowingly hilarious

  • Lol i love the way rotten knows none of the lyrics and just starts talking in the middle of the song

  • 1300 likes !

  • what is the original

  • @GheloPunk It isssss Roadrunner by the Modern Lovers.

  • "What's the 1st line?"

    "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6."

    "...start at the beginning, then?"

    "Road runner, road runner, it's not hard"

    Bloody funny!

  • Comment removed

  • nice

  • not 'faster miles an hour' its 'a thousand miles an hour'

  • @clusterfurm does it look like he know any lyrics at all, or like he cares? lol

  • 3:13 makes me smile every time.

  • Thanks to Sex Pistols I learned about Jonathan Richman. I love em both! :D

  • The subtitiles are hilarious.

  • Sid Vicious has nothing to do with this, morons.

  • Rotten's voice sounds killler over the deep, big bottom sound that Jones and Cook set up here. Love the brutal dynamic of a true punk classic.

  • i always thought this was bo diddley song which was also coverd by the beatles

  • @starks758 Why comment when you're so ignorant?

  • this is no a beatls song wtf

  • @starks758 he says "peoples" songs not beatles songs.

  • @therotatingchinmen yeah it's definitely "peoples' songs"

  • @Potatious  I think you'll find it's a thousand miles an hour. No need to swear you cocksucking bumboy.

  • LMAO at the conversation! How does it start? "1 2 3 4 5 6"... err.... "road runner road runner.. its not hard.."

  • Holy crap this is excellent. The music is just perfect!!!! And Johnny is just wonderful.

  • so good how he can't remember the lyrics. very punk! hahah. thanks

  • Thousand miles an hour. Not faster miles an hour

  • @o7ViiGHTMAREo Actually, it is faster miles an hour - that is the lyrics asshole.

  • Made my life <3 haha

  • Sex Pistols, you love me !..

  • Boring.

    About what to expect from a VV parody-cover.

    Mostly tedious.

  • His improvisational skills need work (He said kindly). The band cooks, though.

  • I strangely find Sid extremely attractive O_O *drool*

  • This song totally nails the PUNK scene. Johnny boy BEGS the band to stop playing and THEY REFUSE to do so---like true punks!!! When he gets the chance to sing he totally bombs the lyrics. I mean, when when they were inducted into the Rock & Roll hall of fame they wrote "We ain't cummin' to that Piss stain of a foundation of yours. Honestly, could you imagine them saying anything else... Can we get a limo with some wine, bree and stone ground crackers? Piss Stain indeep!!!

  • Best cover.

  • I Love this!!!

  • i'm drunk your drunk it sounds the the same

  • That's awesome

  • fuckn love u people....u make the world go round and dont u fuckn forget it....u dont need the godamn words....u need the godamn soul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­love u sid!!!

  • Hahaha, i love this!!

    Almost the best they have done ;P

  • This is a true exhibition of what it takes to be a lead singer. Kids, take notice.

  • I think that this is the BEST cover of that song

  • OH MY. JOHN LYDON. WHY MUST YOU BE SO AMAZING?

  • My neighbors are really lucky. Now (because of the holidays) they can listen Sex Pistols and Ramones in the morning at lunch at afternoon so loud. Everyday. How they lucky! :D

  • @annzhang666 wooooooo joey

  • @annzhang666 Add abit of The Clash in there! they'd love it!

  • @annzhang666 Fuck yeah

  • love this song. i remember the days.

  • Lost count on how many times i've heard this one now... Never get tired of it!

  • fookin' GREAT !!

  • rapeing replay button...

    cant stop watching...

    fuck you neighbors...

  • fucking video, go to hell

    (beginner)

    

  • Solid backing back, especially Paul Cook.

  • @Exilemainstreet Agreed...damn good rhythm section (well, until Glen left!).

  • Do YOU miss the 70s when Punk rock was at it's highest!

    I'm starting a new campaign called God Save the Punk, to bring back the popularity Punk deserves!

    Screw Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga, it's all about Ramones and Sex Pistols!

    Join my campaign by sending me a message. C-mon all you punk rockers out there!

    Let's bring back Punk rock together!

  • @MeetyHam punk never left. piss off. stop trying to be a beatnik and do something about it. i don't see you making any punk rock. direct action my friend. go listen to the bananas or blank fight or something.

  • They may make great music, but they're still assholes for firing one of their members for liking the Beatles...

  • a "thousand" miles an hour, jackass

  • dah uh dah muahh marhh dahh...~~ XD

  • Listen to that backing - ferocious

  • Happy Birthday, Sid!

    REST IN PEACE

  • Have any of you guys heard of Sid Vicious? He's notorious for forgetting lyrics. Johnny Rotten chimes in during the song, but for the most part, it's Sid. Just listen to their last interview as The Sex Pistols.

    Bitches.

  • @xIrelandsfinestx This is Johnny Rotten, watch the goddamn "Filth and the Fury", plus this is WAY before Sid, and it was BOTH Sid and John who forgot lyrics, even nowadays with the reunions John purposely forgets lyrics, IT'S WHAT HE FUCKING DOES

    Bitch.

  • furking epic disappointment Johnny! Learn the lyrics you faded legend..."do we know any other Beatles songs?" Eh? Wasn't this a Modern Lovers song?

  • The Modern Lovers ...

    

  • I get a lot of shit from my band because I can't remember the songs either.

  • its from Joan Jett

    the Roadrunner

  • @1rockstar24 right?

  • This is brilliant, but Sid Vicious did not play on this, it was Glen Matlock

  • Johnny is funny when he doesn't remember things... So, thanks to drugs, all the time.

  • I can't hear you Paul

    hmmm.. it gets ya thinkin

    >.<

  • this is fucking ridicularse

  • Its john that sings this .FACT....................... if you listen to the full recording,they also play Johnny b goode before going in to roadrunner......... john is calling to steve and paul to play something else and thas when they go in to roadrunner............also sid was nothing to do with the band when this was recorded............... FACT..........

  • i can always recognize johnny's accent/voice. it's him.

  • captions are spot on!!! love the pics!

  • my neighbors will know this song by heart........ like it or not

  • @OJTreetube how will they memorize it if the lyrics are random gibberish?

  • @OJTreetube & geminiLIZ

    Yeah, my fu.... teddy/rocker idiot, racist nationalist neighbors, should listen this too, how sex pistol parodied rockenroll, lunatics.

    So fucing good that Jhgonny dont member the words cause its is not important, important is that they sing this wrongly! to make them sound like chickens. Punks against rock and natziskins!

  • Think it's sid who sings this song to be honest. doesn't sound like johnny and i think there is a segment from sid and nancy were sid sing this song live

  • @arkaros0 i think you are right man and i have listened to this track zillion times in the past...has to be him...the voice is not sharp like rotten's...

  • @arkaros0 this is not sid singing, it's John, cuz it's glen matlock playing bass, you deaf or what? sid playing bass well and singing at the same time, it's a dave goodman production not an act of God, sid was probably there, holding John's coat !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @arkaros0 No it's John watch The Filth and the Fury @xela1970 this was early Pistols before Sid

  • ahhh.........like velvet butter on a wave of honey flavored jagged glass. thank god for Glenn Wolven.

  • john is a god

  • I just learnt this on guitar i might go busking now

  • @canadianshit212 anachy in the uk ,friggin in the riggin,god saved the queen,pretty vacant,holiday in the sun are my favs but youve propably heard them all by now 

  • Roadrunner ,roadrunner ...............YAAHAHAHA

  • goin a thousand miles an hours with the radio on.

  • shit :| I only knew Anarchy in the UK,never heard other sex pistols songs but FUCK they rock!

  • @BlackTreeRomania Have a listen to Bodies (by The Sex Pistols). It changed my life 35 years ago...

  • @illhaveadouble it's my fav song

  • @BlackTreeRomania cum sa nu stii numa Anarchy in the UK? Io zic sa le downloadezi discografia, merita

  • @dada000punk asta am facut si sunt prea tari

  • OI

    ..brrrrrrr

  • wow...Ive never seen this. never got to into this guy but he is interesting 4 sure

  • ITS FUCKIN JOHN SINGING

  • this isnt Johnny R singing, it's actually Sid. Johnny sang this song in england later on and never knew the words so just made them up everytime he sang it,, or let the audeiance make them up. So SOD off

  • your all a bunch of fucking cunts

  • @mrjohnps81 It's ' you're ' all a bunch... At least learn English before you try to insult people.

  • now this is music

  • I jammed to this in 1979 on my cassette player in Dubuque, Iowa. Words all but forgotten, a studio take, and yet the sonic groove here is better than most of today's songs in their ENTIRETY. Amazing energy and sound. Between them and the Ramones, they were rewriting (and re-birthing) rock 'n' roll.

  • MARRY ME JOHNNY LYNDON!

  • @petraSID me too

  • @petraSID me too

  • @petraSID You mean John Lydon...

  • @JehnnyRotten yes... I failed, sorry! :S

  • @JehnnyRotten It's a nickname, dumbfuck

  • @PoisonToothX What is? Johnny Lyndon? Lol, I believe you mean Rotten is his nickname, Lyndon isn't his real name or nickname. Dumbfuck.

  • @JehnnyRotten I meant Johnny, you retard fangirl

  • @PoisonToothX You must be very childish if you immediately retort to immature name calling when you don't even know me...I'm 22 and know a lot about him, but I wouldn't exactly call myself a fangirl anymore. I know Johnny is a nickname, I was only referring to his surname being spelled wrong! She admitted she had spelled it wrong. Get a life...

  • @JehnnyRotten It's Lyndon, fangirl

  • @PoisonToothX Not the one we're talking about, sorry, you can look it up anywhere. Lydon is Irish:)

  • @JehnnyRotten You're a terrible fangirl if you don't even know his last name.

  • @PoisonToothX But I am right and you're wrong, ask anyone or look it up yourself haha;)

  • @petraSID lol i respect if u want to marry him but u should at least gety his last name right.

  • @petraSID I saw him at a PIL concert. I was front row. I got to shake his hand and even got a bit of the cognac he was drinking spit on me. PUNK MOTHERFUCKING ROCK!!!!!

  • OMG - I could not stop laughing through this whole song... Poor guy, did he EVER remember the words to any of their songs? Still, ya gotta love it, he was such a character! LOL

  • Hahaha this is excellent.

    Sid RIP

  • "i don't know the words" :DD ha:DD

  • Thanks for posting this but...why all the pics of Sid? I'm getting old, and my memory isn't what it used to be, but if my brain still serves, this was done well before Sid joined the band. I've got a copy of it on vinyl somewhere. This is indeed a cover, though as far as I know,it doesn't sound like a play on the Bo Diddley version. Of the top of my head, can't think which version this is a cover of. But Sid was not involved, of that I am pretty sure.

  • @subrosax spot on my friend

  • Roadrunner suck my toe and I'm not the coyote!

  • i love joan jett versions better

  • This is a disgrace to the Modern Lovers version.
