Classic 90s advert for Maxell cassette tapes which uses The Skids' "Into The Valley" and a highly "original" interpretation of the lyric

  • @Dristarg An accurate, pithy and useful youtube comment? Stop being such an honest old punk.

  • That guys face is hilar.

  • @MIKEYCARLING So do I!

  • Mondegreen.

  • LOL! I read the actual words. Jobson truncates words and it is almost impossible to figure out what he is singing. Maxell nailed it. The Skids were awesome and Jobson's words, for a man that young, were very good. The "all systems failing" and other things alluded to in the song are very appicable to today.

  • I still sing those words to that tune even now!

  • The greatest advert ever?

  • On here somewhere you will find plenty of songs where some wag has improvised lyrics, my favourite all time track - complete control by the clash gets the treatment absolute quality, if you type in the clash complete control mis heard lyrics it should offer a few choices pick the one with father christmas.

  • Pure quality.

  • "juicy men embalmed her!" rofl. I remember reading the real lyrics for this for the first time and going "Oh THAT'S what it is!!" That was in I think 1978/79 and I can for some reason still remember all the bloody words to this day. Loved the Skids but Jobson didn't half write some pretentious twat lyrics ;-)
