  • One of the best vids I have ever seen on you-know-where. Thanks. Christ, I miss Ian Dury. God bless you Ian, wherever you are.

  • @TS50ER Glad it's still up here for all to enjoy. 'Big Brother' at Y/T warned me that I was 'in violation of intellectual property' when I posted it (as with my Beatles vids), for using music that was not of my own making. For that reason, this video is blocked in some countries. So, a big 'sorry' to all those around the world who are in need of cheering up and can't watch this (blame the 'nanny state', not me). Is it just me, or is this whole copyright business getting a bit too silly?

  • Thanks for vid! Liked it , very interesting and contrasts well! Just got back into Ian Dury and almost forgot how good, no,excellent he was. Am going on sixty now and remember Ians music when it was "new". I regret never having seen him live. Recent 'Old Grey Whistle Test' featured a live gig, Brilliant!!!

  • @jonnycomelatelyable Thanks for that. I also remember hearing it for the first time when it was new (on a crackly old AM radio on a beach in Devon) and I still have this 12" in my vinyl collection. Thought it was about time it had an airing.

  • Cheers Bob, I really enjoyed watching that! Great video. I love this song, but could never quite catch all the lyrics...till now.

  • Glad I could be of help...

see all

  • @beachcomberbob The only thing you have violated is the music with your obvious and derogative video.

  • This is the best visualisation ever made of this monumental song!

    OiOi!

    Thanks ! ! ! !

    I forgot about this 12 inch version.

    This dominates everything. I wish he was still alive to see his popularity in 2012 !

  • @rogers1908 no i don't , he certainly wasn't a genius , he was a legend in his own mind , a primadonna .

  • top stuff mate, just what the doc ordered!

  • @SuperPatrick777

    what about Plaistow Patricia?

    What about Blackmail Man?

    what about Sweet Gene Vincent?

    you get my drift?

    I could go on....

    The man was simply a genius
