I remember seeing him performing this on Top Of The Pops, I'm certain he had the traffic cone hat on! I was about 13... I went out and bought the cassette single (remember them!) straight away with whatever money I had. Basically, it's a very, very good pop song in a world where pop songs are diabolical junk. Has ANYONE got the 'Try Try Try' Top Of The Pops clip?!?! I can't find it anywhere

[JerzuRF]

@zararity Haven't seen any TOTP clips of Julian apart from the "I Gotta Walk" one. I am not sure whether the Try Try Try TOTP recroding even exists

[alannigelmarshall]

He likes 'Neu'? the German progrock acoustic band?

[JerzuRF]

Since when Neu! is progrock acoustic band? But yeah. They are definitely Germans

Great song.

I deliver to Julian's house in Wiltshire sometimes.

He hasn't got a letterbox so I have to beep my horn and he or his wife comes out and meets me to get it.

He seems like a really nice bloke and his wife is a defenite MILF.

Well, I CAN deny it because it's fabulous. Who made something as great as this in the same time? I mean second half of '90

Julian Cope was a bit of a twat when compared to his contemporaries like Pete Wylie and Echo and the Bunnymen, Then he found Acid, as a result one or two good songs on the 20 Mothers album. Then I saw him on the 20 Mothers tour in Shepherds Bush and I realised he is a twat (a pompous one) after all. Try Try Try is still a good song though.

@JerzuRF I'll never forget that one! In his potato sack! With Thighpaulsandra. The guy's one of the last of the great eccentrics! The popular world is terribly drab now. All the world's leaders are wanking off under giant owls and 'mock' sacrifices and the rest of us are watching X Factor.

@alannigelmarshall Julian knows his shit, google: "Julian Cope Krautrock sampler" its an in depth list of the fifty best german psych bands popularly referred to as Kraut Rock

[jaddajn1]

obviously you're a star julian so just fucking man up and apologise to that drunk woman in the audience you slagged off so disgracefully and we'll say no more about it

[zararity]

@JerzuRF "In the mid-1990s, Cope signed with Rick Rubin's Def American label, releasing Autogeddon (1994) and 20 Mothers (1995), spawning the single "Try, Try, Try", accompanied by two Top of the Pops performances." From the ever valuable Wikipedia ;)

Absolutely certainly exists, why or how it's not made it to the big bad world of YouTube is kinda beyond me...

Fuck's sake Jasussake!!

[mensamoo]

As pop music is a crap genre that has been abused and still is, its refreshing to see something creative and addictive. Great song.
