My wife died in a hospital for kitchen utensil accidents after accidentally sticking her head in a yogurt maker. I'm crying cos this was our song. Although we really got it off with the sexy banned version.
Did she - or anybody else who appears in this video - know a music video was being filmed or did she just think some nutter was marching up and down the Old Kent Road jabbering about dustbins & tropical fish?
years ago , worked with a 17 year old called John , every morning when people said hello to him , I started singing this , he'd never heard it , thought I was a bit weird until someone played it to him , it was stuck in his head for weeks , when he was 18 his parents got him a car and he made the stupid mistake of telling everyone at work
Back in 1984, two British nationals were working a temporary assignment at my company in New York. One of them received a cassette tape from home with this song recorded on it. The guy was an amateur "linguist" who enjoyed studying the use of language in different areas of the UK and Ireland. The two guys spent weeks trying to decipher the words of this song as well as what the song was about...
I just sold a car to a guy named John from London. I’m going to play this song for him when he picks it up today. He’s 44, so he’ll remember this tune for sure.
30 years ago, in the UK before Sunday openings i was working in Oxford Street cleaning a water tank in some random office building, with my trainee (He was 17, I was 22 and he thought I was God lol) We went for a lunchbreak trying to find the nearest McDonald's and I saw Alexei with his female companion and my trainee who was called Martin, said 'That's Alexei Sayle!' We actually saw him looking in through the window of a jewellery shop - we were on the on the opposite side of the road, I told Martin I knew Alexei personally, which he obviously thought was a wind up - so I dragged Martin over the road (we were both stubble Scousers wearing thick filthy overalls) and when we walked past Alexei and his female companion I just said in my Scouse accent 'alright Alexei! Nice to see you!' Alexei gave us two thumbs up and said 'alright mate!' - Martin thought I was a king at that point and would have believed I was Jon Lennon's cousin - true story.
That was a great time for comedy. The Young Ones where I got to see Alexei Sayle for the 1st time. This little ditty has been in my brain for a frightening amount of years but I still love it all. I also never forgot Revolutionary biscuits of Italy rise up out of your box, you have nothing to fear but your wafers. Yum Tum Yum Yum Yum!
I was on a Zoom work call last week and one of my colleagues John said he was having car trouble and that after lock down he might have to look for a new car. I can't believe how many other members of the call started singing this. John, of course had not idea why. Bless 'im.
@@sallyolsson9762 Never studied the political spectrum at all, have you? Alexei is a dedicated leftist, Biden is what passes for a centrist in the US and Boris is right wing, but nowhere what passes for American right. The three have nothing in common other than planet they live on.
Mum had this on a vinyl when I was a kid in the 90s. Used to be absolutely fascinated as it wasn't the normal record shape (think it was shaped like Alexei sitting on a car bonnet maybe) Don't personally know anyone else who has ever known this song, no wonder I grew up a bit weird 😂
I just gotta new motor, and this track has been free spinning in my head, had to come look it up ;) Only typed 'hello John' and the suggestion was at the top. Bonkers track.
