An ALL TIME hidden classic! Man I've never gotten tired of this in all the many-MANY years since it landed... Thanks for sharing one of my all time faves!
I heard this song for the first time when I was 13. The years passed, and I had that song in my head, but without remembering who was the artist that played it. When, by chance, I discovered recently that the song was from Captain Sensible, it was like: wow !, years without hearing this great pop song. I changed the audio track of the video I found on UA-cam to one of better quality.The song and the video deserve it.
Remember this from my great college radio station in Buffalo. (WBNY) but forgot it was him. Always just thought of Jet boy. Better lyrics than I remember and politically timeless!
What d'you say, do you know the way Shall we quit this place? Play with toys 'til we make no noise And we won't lose face You've gotta be joking You've gotta be joking You've gotta be Joking joking You've got to be Joking joking One in three 'til you vote for me And you won't fall down Set you free in a sour milk sea Follow this year's clown You've gotta be joking You've gotta be joking You've gotta be Joking joking You've got to be Joking joking There's more snakes than ladders At this point in time There's more snakes than ladders Now we throw the dice So uptight, can't you see the light Gotta turn around Under wraps, handed to the chaps They'll see we all sleep sound You've gotta be joking You've gotta be joking You've gotta be Joking joking You've got to be Joking joking There's more snakes than ladders At this point in time There's more snakes than ladders Now we throw the dice (repeat)
I have the 12" which is a great mix of this. Both Tony Mansfield produced Cpt Sensible albums are some of my favorite albums. Such a shame Tony is a recluse nowadays. From what i've read he was working on a new New Musik album years ago which never materialized.
Amazing and sadly underrated 80's classic.
The Captain was underrated.This song is brilliant
Many people thought he only did novelty songs ie.HappyTalk.he’s had a few great songs.glad it’s all over and this great song.respect the Cptn.

Captain Sensible is so under -rated as a musician 👌👌
One of the greatest songs of the 1980’s. A personal favorite.
Captain's best single can't understand why this wasn't a massive hit
First time i've ever heard this song ..what a guitar solo ! Not surprising though .. Captain's world class, isn't he ? Joyful

I love Captain he's fucking brilliant
What d'you say, do you know the way
Shall we quit this place?
Play with toys 'til we make no noise
And we won't lose face
You've gotta be joking
You've gotta be joking
You've gotta be
Joking joking
You've got to be
Joking joking
One in three 'til you vote for me
And you won't fall down
Set you free in a sour milk sea
Follow this year's clown
You've gotta be joking
You've gotta be joking
You've gotta be
Joking joking
You've got to be
Joking joking
There's more snakes than ladders
At this point in time
There's more snakes than ladders
Now we throw the dice
So uptight, can't you see the light
Gotta turn around
Under wraps, handed to the chaps
They'll see we all sleep sound
You've gotta be joking
You've gotta be joking
You've gotta be
Joking joking
You've got to be
Joking joking
There's more snakes than ladders
At this point in time
There's more snakes than ladders
Now we throw the dice
(repeat)
It's 2024, and there are DEFINITELY more snakes than ladders at this point in time!!🎲Can we hit the rewind button, please 🤕
Cap'n Pop Master . . think I'll have a nice cup of tea
Great little song, totally escapes me how this wasn't a hit!
Fantastic tune from the captain , forgotten how good he is , should re release a lot of his work
What a brilliant song... I almost forgot about it. Thank you for posting. 😉

Love Tony Mansfield work with New Musik. I have the 12" too.
@@WIRECOOLEY Yes, I love all three New Musik albums too. The one he did for Mari Wilson as well.
Classic. Especially when the lead guitar comes in.
Well ahead of its time a top tune from the captain
He predicted it would reach at least number one on its release in 1984 but sadly it peaked outside the Top 40.
Really love this song alot
An absolute belter of a song. Great lyrics, so 80s shud have been a massive hit!
There is genius in there
An interesting thing about Captain Sensible. He says he hates the name, and being called it, yet he has kept the name.
This is great pop music.
I would vote for Captain Sensible, though I have mainly been a Soul Boy at High School, with a few new Ted new Mod and Goth friends.
Damn - hadn't heard this in almost 40 years and forgotten the harmonies from Dolly Mixture.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IN LIFE THERE ARE MORE SNAKES THAN LADDERS ! ! !
. at this point , in time
I remember this from back in the day
SNAKES & BLADDERS ! ! !
Tony at his best
Greatness 🎉
You said WOT
Milk: It does a video good
Missing the audio after "you've got to be joking" (joking joking), my cd has it but none of the versions on YT seem to
Somebody please tell me what is the name of this London street...???
UK politics at this point in time! U gotta be joking.
Sounds like Madness.
Choking choking, ya gotta be
The original Timmy mallet 😂
Anyone know the name of the street this was filmed?
It looked to be getting ready for demolition
this should have been a massive hit
Wot?
Oh,they are complaining about d&d gameplay. so i wasn't the first one.

I have to say this is a pile of shite. I love Glad it’s all Over by the way.
