Haha, here in 2023, I was embarrassed on your behalf that we ever thought being this misogynistic was acceptable. Lucky for me, I couldn't be bothered to stop what I was doing to hit next when the very last line of the song completely flips the script and completely redeems the performance, the song and the band. Had me all riled up, so the joke's on me, too.
A TRUE* U.K '1 Hit Wonder' reaching number 19 on the 21st-April-79. A good fun song, pity they don't have this type of song in the charts any more! * I say 'true' as a lot of songs that are know to be '1 Hit Wonders' have had another hit, albeit a minor one.
One of the most fun bands of the late 70's! Awesome send-up of the Punk that was on the go at the time! They were booked, to play the TSC at Memorial University back in '80, but sadly had to cancel ... missed opportunity to see a great band ... BTW, "Boat Race" is Cockney rhyming slang for "face" ... the book "Full Moon" by Dougal Butler (about his life as Keith Moon's personal assistant) is full of Cockney slang ... hilarious!
@SundownerDrifting this wasn't meant to be "Cashing in on Punk" the whole album is freaking hilarious off beat fun music, OMG they only made 2 albums the second one was only released in canada until just recently
I grew up with this little gem, good to hear it again, and many thanks for posting to UA-cam. Another gem I remember is :- Gordon is a Moron by Jilted John (John Shuttleworth the Comedian)
I was walking my Dog a few years ago when I heard a voice shout "Sexy"!, I turned around and there were 2 girls & one of them said "I was talking to the Dog"!, True story!.
Adolfy started out left (National Socialist Party) and appeased the women of Germany. Once in power he turned the screws to the hard right. I see folks debating the left/right fascist thingy all the time. Fascist and Commie exist in close proximity in the circle of politics.
I'm 14, and this is one my favorite songs!
Why would this not get released now!? It's just a fun harmless song! Classic long live the monks!
harmless song alright but rubbish sound, rubbish guitar, idiotic song.
@@zinniazinnia2145 they were essentially a parody band. Sheesh.

The Monks didnt even scrape popularity in the UK.. but in Canada they were HUGE!
Oft- repeated phrase around my high school in 1979 :)

gosh I cant never forget this lol. Soooooooooo humilating.
these are the first words my then future husband said to me back in 1979 glad to say it is the opposite way round now lol.

It's not called Gordon is a Moron,it's called Jilted John.
John Shuttleworth is a character as well,artist is called Graham Fellows

Butter Face
I use to sing this song to girls back in the day and they beat me up.
Its as if they forgot thier drum when they got off the plane so they took on of the food storage trollies with them.
C'mon lads - we've all been there haven't we?
@ikegee that's the drummer!
Fucking love this song. Absolute classic. Thumbs down! Top stuff!
+moodini99 Probably the worst lyrics ever.
I'm young again.
I used to have this - why did I ever give away my LP's?!?
David Hasselhoff, before night rider.
and I said nice song shame about the shades XD
@Jojoseahorse
and mine too. Hee hee!
does a karaoke version of this exist?
are these the same "i hate you" monks?
wish it was 1977 again
4 poeple liked the face , shame about the legs.
Why is the drummer slapping a crate with a high hat next to it?
What else do you expect him to slap?
Nah, these guys are completely different. Google The Strawbs or Hudson Ford.
If you don't care for this performance then that's your bad luck
Boat race this weekend, aye.
I was walking my Dog a few years ago when I heard a voice shout "Sexy"!, I turned around and there were 2 girls & one of them said "I was talking to the Dog"!, True story!.
As a Follow up to this!,
To be Fair that Dog was Sexy, Certainly had more Sex Appeal than Me!.
