Saw him support VooDoo Glowskulls a few years back and he was Top, He dodged a few expertly lobbed pint glasses aimed at his head, didn't miss a word or a chord. Sharp as a tack and funny.
yes, up against it and still winning through, lol. Yet in my version the English would have the Welsh, Irish and Scots beside them, the great alliance that formed the biggest empire of all time. And always up against the odds.
@@hi-dh8dj Really? That's brilliant! I bloody loved Eddie and Tenpole Tudor when I was a young teenager. That music made my head go off!! Great times!!
Deep in the castle and back from the wars Back with my baby and the fire burned tall "Hoorah", went the men down below All outside was the rain and snow Hear their shouts, hear their roar They've probably all had a barrel or much, much more Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men We had to meet the enemy a mile away Thunder in the air and the skies turned gray Assemblin' the knights and their swords were sharp There was hope in our English hearts Hear our roar, hear our sound We're gonna fight until we have won this town Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men The knights come along at the end of the day Some were half-alive and some had run away Hear our triumph, in our roar We're gonna drink a barrel or much, much more Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah, yeah Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah, yeah Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah, yeah Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah, yeah
I always love these videos when bands that are clearly riddled with love of drink, drugs and other incredibly fun things play their songs to an audience of cardigan wearing teeny boppers.
Love it!! I also like how the kids were sitting in 3 lines behind all nicey nice, orderly and civilized to a performance like that. Oh how times have changed. I actually remember seeing this on TOTP back then and really liking it. Where did those 40 years go?
There's a recording of a Wire show in the early 80s for German television, they all look like they're in a doctor's waiting room, they had no idea what hit them.
Throughout my teanage years and beyond I played great songs over and over ,number one was while having breakfast in cafe at pleasure beach blackpool ,before work and whilst eating brekky ,I put on the juke box ,into the valley by the skids loved it ,and another one swords thousand men ,every morning at an old girlfriend's house ,she loved it lots of laughs ,then number 3 whilst sharing a house working with few lads it was strange town by the jam over and over repeat ,and went like that for a while ,then like all good things came to an end .
I was 17 when this song was released March 1981. I loved the song but was never a fan of punk music. Great one hit wonder. I remember the singer presenting the crystal maze. A great game show.
Sacrilegious as it may seem if you were able to get Tenpole and his songs plus Rich Kids and Professionals tunes I hear Pistols Mk 2...shame that didnt go on. Release that in early 1980 and the Swindle continues
To the person who sent the message to me. Saying temple Tudor were not punks. If you look the band up on Wikipedia. You'll see it says they are punk and new wave. Thankyou.
wikipedia dont make you a punk lol.it probably says blink 182 are punk too but eddie and tenpole tudore are punk as fuck!! eddie was almost sex pistols signer after john left
Those guitars are makingngreat sounds not to be plugged in. Haha also the drummer is doing good on a drum kit but there's not one there. Hated there was so much lip syncing.... Haha...they forgot to tk the horses out at the beginning. Its not supposed to look like your lip syncing. But most of the bands that did the show had to lip sync but they always carried a diff recording with them to lip sync to on shows. It was made to sound diff and live. Haha...here they just played the actual song with the horses. Idc though because these guys are BAD ASS! I was a kid in the 80s but I was a metal head and I didn't hear this song or band back then here in America. Truth be told I didnt find them until about 5 or 6 yrs ago. I came across the video for this song and I was hooked! It was great seeing he still goes around doing this song. Guess he's the only original member then?
One of the most under-rated songs ever
Hi t
THE most underrated song of alll time!!
indeed frigging mesmeric ; awesome in the extreme
Unfortunately this is true
One of the most under-rated comments ever.
This should be the National Anthem for England.
IT IS MATE ?
As far as I'm concerned, it is 🙂
In pubs around the UK when tadpole is in town it is.
It is and was but not for the reasons you think!! ....sadly!!
Agreed. And I'm Scottish 😁
Edward Tudor Pole looks like the sort of person you would regret getting into a fight with, but end up becoming friends with.
Saw him support VooDoo Glowskulls a few years back and he was Top, He dodged a few expertly lobbed pint glasses aimed at his head, didn't miss a word or a chord. Sharp as a tack and funny.
Loved it back when it came out, still love it now and my 8 year old son knows the song.....which in my opinion is great parenting 😂😂
could not agree more,surprised its not banned yet,sure the woke idiots will find something offensive!
My dad locked me in a room with Carpenter's The Thing while he giggled so anything is a step up imo 😂😘
There was hope in our English hearts.
God I loved this song when I was 7. Still do 38 years later. Absolute barnstormer of a song. Rock magic
One of the most expressive singers ever
Fantastic Tune when it came out and still is, seen Tadpole many times over the years and he just gets better. Still one of my regular players.
should be our National Anthem !
yes, up against it and still winning through, lol. Yet in my version the English would have the Welsh, Irish and Scots beside them, the great alliance that formed the biggest empire of all time. And always up against the odds.
Was 15 when this came out 55 now and a few tines and it’s still a blinding party song
First I knew of Ed Tudor-Pole was when I watched him present The Crystal Maze.....only discovered recently he was a singer in a band!
Ten pole Tudor used to listen to this track when it was released haven’t stopped now it’s nearly 2022 some tracks are everlasting
great song and temple tudor pole is a great singer keep up the good singing richard
What a great song 👍👍
Bought the single when I was 10. Little did I know he’d go on to be my favourite Crystal Maze presenter. That’s me with him on my profile pic ❤️❤️
Met Eddie recently. Great guy and loved him on Crystal Maze
P J LUCKY DUCK! That’s how I was introduced to this song.
Aaaah that's where I recognize him! Wow
hes my grandads bestfriend, when i was younger i used to go round to his house! He uses to look after me all the time! 😂

Deep in the castle and back from the wars
Back with my baby and the fire burned tall
"Hoorah", went the men down below
All outside was the rain and snow
Hear their shouts, hear their roar
They've probably all had a barrel or much, much more
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah
Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men
We had to meet the enemy a mile away
Thunder in the air and the skies turned gray
Assemblin' the knights and their swords were sharp
There was hope in our English hearts
Hear our roar, hear our sound
We're gonna fight until we have won this town
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah
Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men
The knights come along at the end of the day
Some were half-alive and some had run away
Hear our triumph, in our roar
We're gonna drink a barrel or much, much more
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah
Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah, yeah
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah, yeah
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah, yeah
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah
Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah, yeah, yeah
Should be our National Anthem.
Top tune, one of the best of the 80s. Give it sum Eddie.
Very proud to say that I bought this on 7inch back in 81.
It twas a banger then. And STILL a banger
I still have my copy and gets played.
@@willtricks9432 good lad will haha
The greatest hits cd is bloody awesome, keep rocking. I wish they'd tour again.
I was 9 when this came out I loved it then and love it now ❤❤❤❤
I always love these videos when bands that are clearly riddled with love of drink, drugs and other incredibly fun things play their songs to an audience of cardigan wearing teeny boppers.
Loved legs and Co in the Background.
Blimey, they were hot weren't they?
This needs playing as we take back London.
YES FROM THE TORY KHAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SCUM ?
Saw this on TOTPs I must have been 10
The rightful king of England? Maybe coolest leather jacket ever ? Absolutely
Loved it as a kid, and as an old-ish man.
Aaaaaaaaahhh the 80's, nothing like it. Gone into history as the bloody best 10 years for so many of us...lethal music and good Christian girls 😉
First class song brilliant and Timeless absolute classic 😍🥂🍻🍺👊✊
What a good song.
Love it!! I also like how the kids were sitting in 3 lines behind all nicey nice, orderly and civilized to a performance like that. Oh how times have changed. I actually remember seeing this on TOTP back then and really liking it. Where did those 40 years go?

This is so good its on my play list twice 😁
Oh fuck yeah. From the days when music mattered.
And all the better for Legs & Co in be-still-my-throbbing-heart thigh boots giving it loads #class #proudtobeBritish #totp
So gloriously demented
What a tune! A floor filler back in the day at the Friday night youth club!
“The Pirates: Band of Misfits” brought me here.
Same here
@@sonnyblagg1714 “Then let’s go plundering!!”
He is not like the other children, is he? Great tune.
Ooh-rah-ooh-rah-ooh-rah-aye!
Hearing this on the current Haven adverts cheers me up.
Fabulous ! Eddie Tenpole a national treasure..
Ah! The sounds of the terraces back in the early eighties!
Remember hearing this when I was a wagon driver. Ace
Tenpole Tudor what a legend
Absolute barnstormer of a song.
Everybody's having a good time.
That's the power of music
Posh isn't he? Brilliant song, very evocative of England! Uk
This is definitely my favourite one hit wonder 🤘 even after all these years, it still claps hard! 🎸
Pretty sure they had a few hits actually
@@tintomara6209 Wunderbar
Anyone else bingewatching TOTP Redubbed?
Throughout my teanage years and beyond I played great songs over and over ,number one was while having breakfast in cafe at pleasure beach blackpool ,before work and whilst eating brekky ,I put on the juke box ,into the valley by the skids loved it ,and another one swords thousand men ,every morning at an old girlfriend's house ,she loved it lots of laughs ,then number 3 whilst sharing a house working with few lads it was strange town by the jam over and over repeat ,and went like that for a while ,then like all good things came to an end .
Good memories.
@@Globaldave1970 yes mate great times I think I made the most of them lol .
Amazing song!!! 😜
Saw them plymouth top rank club. Bouncers had their hands full lots of scuffles. The place went nuts when Wunderba came on.
'Wheres the Bar' as I remember it last time I saw Tadpole, Another great tune.
The 70 and 80 best music ever 🎶🙂
I'm Pirate Captain and I'm here for ya gold!
Class👌👌👌👏👏👏
Sound track of my youth
Should be the national anthem.
I grew up watching “The Pirates! Band Of Misfits” and I had to find this song
Glad I’m not the only person who found this song through aardman
'The knights come along at the end of de day' #topclasslyrics
I was 17 when this song was released March 1981. I loved the song but was never a fan of punk music. Great one hit wonder. I remember the singer presenting the crystal maze. A great game show.
They werent punks
@@mercian7 What were they then
@@fodge5395 Look it up
@@mercian7 Brilliant, a statement of denial and then refusal to back up said statement
Come on guys, TPT were New-Wave-Rock, in the same category as Adam and the ants.
Boy could we do with a revival of this superb genre.
Love this song
This song was used in a Sony Pictures Animation/Aardman movie of "The Pirates!: BAND OF MISFISTS"
Energy!
I dance like that after a hard bit on the gear
Watching this video, you're not the only one !!!!
❤❤❤
That super sensitive microphone!
My partner died last year and this was the going out music. He said it had be this. Would love to have some contact from someone in the band😊
He picked a great tune to go out with, Hats off to the fella.
One Dislike.....use the Sword 🗡.......👍🇬🇧🤓
Now there’s Two🗡🗡
When the Celts and Angles take back Brittania, we'll have this as our anthem.
I know it's late replying back, we need to start getting the troops together now..
We need an anglo-celt on the throne, not a germano-norman.
This should be sang at England 🏴 football matches instead of the national anthem
This is why England never loses any fight she gets herself into!
Sacrilegious as it may seem if you were able to get Tenpole and his songs plus Rich Kids and Professionals tunes I hear Pistols Mk 2...shame that didnt go on. Release that in early 1980 and the Swindle continues
That was a laugh!
A great track simple as that sounds better than alot of today's bullocks crap music nuff said
Then over the hills they went and they seen a few Scot’s and ran away
But they didn't really did they ? UK 🇬🇧
Saw him on his Russian/polish what the fuck ever bike he was riding in soho back in the 80's
Still 2021
The best.
Barnstormer ! 🇬🇧
should be national anthem
Wow I forgot how much I love this tune XX mind you he doesn't look well though ,,,,,,, does he ??
Decidedly peaky.
Got it as my ring tony😅
This a great battle theme song.
🇬🇧 Classic one hit wonder. BRILLIANT stirring lyrics for Britain 2019. 🗡😁✒
Wunderbar was a hit also and should have had many more. Great live band
Yeah a rallying cry against the scourge of far right gammon ignorance.
“Throwing my baby out with the bath water” was another Tenpole song
England once rules the waves
No it didn't. Britain did, but not England.
Eddie, mad as a box of Frogs..lol but i loved the music and the band
Pirates in an Adventure with Scientists
You mean The Pirates: Band of Misfits….
As i remember ten pool tudor?
Only song ive found with a similar sound to Antonin Artaud by Bauhaus (but this is better imo)
80s say no more.😊
What a stomper.
Hugh Laurie has let himself go
Completely mad. But what a great band.
They say drugs are bad but seems to of worked well for him
To the person who sent the message to me. Saying temple Tudor were not punks. If you look the band up on Wikipedia. You'll see it says they are punk and new wave. Thankyou.
wikipedia dont make you a punk lol.it probably says blink 182 are punk too

eddie was almost sex pistols signer after john left
"And that", said Ramsey Bolton "is why you shouldn't do drugs"
Last tudor related to henry

😂😂😂😂 and got a smack in the face
Very Funny.
Can't believe this was out 42 years ago & it still sounds current , bring it on for Ukraine I say 🇺🇦
