Gary Numan Jim'll Fix it - Music for Chamelions 1982

[spocktrometer]

this is the best video of all time. bar none.

He returned home in his oversized bomber jacket a shadow of his former self. That night, tucking in to a plate of Dinosaur shapes and garden peas, his medallion on the mantelpiece, he felt a tear in the corner of his eye.

He could never reach those highs again.

[CreamedCheesed]

Matthew realized, as he was puttering around in Gary Numan’s tiny car, that no matter what else he accomplished in life; whether it was getting married; having children; a job promotion; an E Type Jaguar parked in the driveway; a swimming pool full of cocaine and women; no matter what he did, nothing could compare to that day when he met Gary Numan on Jim’ll Fix It.

That kid is my Dad!!!

[TamTamster]

@sbs2jpb am I?

[andyjukes]

I like Gary Numan’s golf caddy outfit. Very golf.

[ElmoRave]

that kid looks like he's on the verge of suicide.

[gcowings]

Round, and round and round and round. Can't decide if he looks cool or handicapped

[akaBanKsy]

he looked cool, and i bet he felt cool

[tinydancer123]

looks like he was havin great fun

[SillyStephers93]

how depressed is that kid...

[VANGAMME]

What a strange fucker that kid was!

[TamTamster]

Andy - at least it's just my feet these days x

[arizonabay15]

@TamTamster .....It's you! And i see you you're still a Numan fan. Have you met him since?

[OFR]

The problem is not with the lip sync, it's the video codec that slid the audio track off from the video. Notice how the drums start in time with the video and are soon out of time. Originally, the video was perfectly in sync. One of the problems with youtube is it allows this kind of audio/video slip.... Gary handles it all nicely.

[MouthfullUK]

All I can look at are TamTamster's feet !

[Elephant1972]

Tam Tamster I remember that very well all those years ago. I really love the car it's so cool I would love one myself. However I met Gary after a gig in London in 2007. He was at The Shepherds Bush Empire and a few groupies waited for him after the gig. He was ever so nice and down to earth.

[Corrupt5358]

Bad lip synch for such bad vocals he may as well have done it live.

[footlappen]

I wrote a 1000 letters to Jimmy savile asking to meet Gary Numan!! But he did´nt pick me! BOOHOO

[TheGodParticle]

I don't think that kid said thankyou. thats just low...

[leeleec79]

That kid is a friend of mine now I can assure you he did say thank you! Hes a top bloke

[MetaGrrrl]

Bless British TV for this kind of popularization of even edgy pop.

[BadEggCymru]

did Jimmy touch the lads "front bottom?"

[Pedro000ist]

you would think jim could 'fix it' for gary numan to do a decent job of miming to that.

[Pedro000ist]

And did you ever pass your driving test cause thats the worst 3 point turn i,ve ever seen

[Pedro000ist]

Hey Tam Tamster as well as being on jim,ll fix it did you also appear in that film 'The children of the damned' ?

[TamTamster]

all I can say is...HAHAHAHAHA...can't stop laughing because that miserable kid is me! Blame the BBC for making me put those stupid glasses on just before filming...I hated them but they thought they looked futuristic. *ahem*

Apart from that had an ace day.

[leeleec79]

WOW! Really, well me and a few friends wounder if you still go to the gigs? Did they tell you to look moody like Numan! Well you did smile towards the end of when you got the jacket and Jims badge. How lucky are you to have rode in the Numan buggy! Well jelous, but well happy you got to. I bet it was an ace day mate. Do you still have the jacket? Thanks for getting in touch, glad I kinda tracked you down.

[TamTamster]

They wanted me to look spooky...but my grumpy face was just me being mardy and also scared. The jacket is too small for me these days, not that I'd ever wear it out for fear of damaging it.

Off to Bristol and London for this round of gigs...and maybe Salisbury. Keep an eye out for a mardy guy in bad sunglasses

:-)

[leeleec79]

Ha ha, thats so cool! Well you pulled off the Numan look Matthew! Excellent, well if I owned the jacket id keep it safe too and would never wear it. Oooh, well ill be seeing you in Bristol, London and Sailsbury, also doing Oxford aswell, ill def keep an eye out for you, especially in your sunglasses! lol. Nice to know your still out there :o)

[TamTamster]

haha - those specs are up in the loft actually...maybe i'll dig em out :-)

gimme a shout if you see me

whereabouts are you then?

[leeleec79]

Ha ha excellent, dig them out of the loft, be fun to see you in them, id def find you in those, and the weather will be perfect!

I will def look out for you at these gigs coming up. I'm in Manchester Matthew.

I'm going to change my profile picture then you can look out for me....

[roboman79]

WOW really, That's so cool, Do you still talk to Gary?

[TamTamster]

Not really...haven't spoken to Gary since Random came out (97?). I don't feel that because he was essentially paid to spend time with me that I should use that as an 'in'...unlike my dad who used to shout "JIM'LL FIX IT" at air shows whilst pointing at my head. Oh the embarrassment! If I meet him then great, otherwise I'm happy tootling along

:-)

[DerVampyrEngel]

You were blody lucky thats al I got to say TamTamster

[DuayneDibley]

Was this before the Sinclair C5?

Wonder if he still has the jacket?

Such a happy child!

[themachman19691]

now then,now then...kid doesnt look happy at all..lol.
