Hi,

I thought this was all of it. What more do you think there is?? If you are sure then I will rummage again and try to find it.

Its worth bearing in mind that the BBC would get something like 5 times the mail if Kenny Everett came on TV and said "Bum!" at this time. You could be struck from broadcasting.

Was it autumn 1979 this was broadcast - Christ on a bike, I had to stop my 11 year old self from screaming with laughter so I could hear the next line! :o) It was unimaginable that this was going out. Life was never the same.

@chezz1ebabe Sex is boring, Pain is fun; I wanna cut my fingers off one by one; There ain't no point in staying alive; I wanna be dead, but I'm 25; Gob on You, 'cause your hairs too long; Gob on You, 'cause you're never wrong; Gob on You, in your Oxbridge punts; Gob on You, you're the national front !

Gob on You, 'cause you're well insured; Gob on You, 'cause I'm young, and bored; Gob on You, 'cause you talk about art; Gob on You, 'cause your a boring old fart !

@CaptainHurricane I think that was an enforced tamer broadcast version , because the line that comes before is " Gob on you , in your Oxbridge Punts ! " so I think you can guess where the draft lyric was heading for , before someone said " You cant do that on the Beeb ! ".

@chezz1ebabe I remember there being a lyric that says "...Cause your the national front !! "

If that had ever been released officially into the charts I'd have just laughed.

When I was about twelve, I read a Nintendo magazine review of the videogame 'Mortal Kombat 2' in which one of the special moves was to spit acid. There was a picture of that and the caption, 'Gob on you, 'cos I hate your guts. Gob on you, kick you in the...' and my twelve-year-old mind thought that was hilarious and I never forgot it. My brother and I made a catchphrase of it.

I even watch NTNOCN. But I had no idea where 'Gob on you' came from.

Thank you, YouTube recommendations!

Is there a longer version of this?

[LightLife4]

Apart from 'Shame about the song' this one's well funny.

@chezz1ebabe

I believe the rest was: Gob on you, cos' you talk about art; Gob on you, cos' you're a boring old fart

Hi, I remember another verse: "Sex is boring, pain is fun; I wanna cut my fingers off one by one; There ain't no point in staying alive; I wanna be dead, but I'm 25; Gob on You, cos you're well-insured; Gob on You, cos I'm young, and bored ..." sorry, can't remember the rest ...

@3Deity About a year later, TVOntario showed this in Canada. I laughed my head off too. It was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen at the time. :)
