The sound of my teenage years. I still think about Limmy from time to time... It's sad that he put everything to an end after his wife turned the weans against him. He's probably up there belting this tune out with Benny on the keys. Two legends gone, but not forgotten!
It was 1985, the height of the miner's strike, and I was driving my vauxhall cavalier when this song came on. I pulled over and just started sobbing. Limmy's song really resonated with how we felt back then...this intractable stand off with the government... Was it all just a one way street? And were we going the wrong way down it?
My first child was conceived whilst this song played in the background in 1987. This song has been so instrumental in mine and my wife's lives and sadly it was last played as the coffin went down in her funeral. First time listening in over a year. Here's to you Debbie mcdougal
I mind a trip to Millport when we forget aw the other tapes apart from the single of this. We must have played it 500 times over one weekend, but nobody cared...some summer that. Wish I could go back.
I was up the top of that Finneston Cran the other night with this lad, on this death slide thing. Bold as brass he was, even the polis were cracking up.
I remember seeing this song preformed live at a fundraiser in Priest Hill back in 87 right before it blew up. I was there with me mate Benny Harvey. I will never forget those good times. Rest In Peace big man you will be missed.
Nothing prepares you for this, I cheered, I shouted, I fist pumped the air, I cried, I stood and cheered, its absolutely everything that you'd hope it was going to be!
This is one of my top 5 favorite 80s song. It takes me back to the summer of 1984 in a small South Texas border town near the beach when I was first learning to drive. I must have been a young buck of about 12 or 13 years old and I was a bit nervous behind the wheel of my oldest brother’s big green 1969 Chevy Impala, that car seemed like it was a mile long at the time and as I made a turn I didn’t see the road sign and I accidentally went the…………….🎶
I remember hearing this the first time when I was getting my hair cut. Les Porter is fantastic, he’s over in Yoker if you’re out that way and need a trim.
Star Wars.......... Kings of the galaxy........ fighting for you and I....... fighting for me. Limmy is a musical genius. RIP Benny Harvey. Gone but not forgotten
Just reading the comments and discovering that I seemingly randomly praise the author of this genius track, again at random intervals. Each time with zero memory of the previous. Anyway, one more time. This is genius
Once ran into Benny Harvey in a karaoke bar... I was trying to impress this one girl I had on a date and her interest was dying. Benny was a stranger to me...but he recommended I sing this for her. Ended up getting married to her, and when I heard what happened to good old Benny... we named our daughter after him. Benny Harvey RIP.
This idiot It's a one-way street Wrong way, down a one-way street Wrong way, down a one-way street Wrong way, down a one-way street Wrong way, down a one-way street What's up? What was that?

Aye, but I've been told it's really good my friends and family have all heard it Who was it that gave you this meeting? It was your assistant sang it doon the phone to him and he said he'd arrange it Yeah, that'd be Malcolm. I'll have to have a word with him.

Star! Wrong Way! Yer Faether would be proud Wrong way, down a one-way street Wrong way! Yer Faether would be proud Wrong way, down a one-way street Wrong way, down a one-way street Yay!
20 years ago I went the wrong way down a one way street and was pulled over the next day. I had to go to court and I lost. When he sang Wrong way down a one way street, I felt that.
My parents met with this song playing in the background of my mum's graduation party. The night was clear, there were thousands upon thousands of stars and the moon was so white and so round and so big, maybe something greater wanted them to meet. The perfect night, the perfect song and a wrong way down a one way street.
I love that there are humans that exist that are such world class geniuses that they could make something like this. Absolutely mind blowing. Well played
This takes me back I remember playing this in Volkswagen Golf MkII on my last day of school, it was a summer I had the windows down and I was just driving...... RIP Benny Harvey
"In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night, No Evil Shall Escape My Sight, Let Those Who Worship Evil's Might, Beware My Power, Green Lantern's Light" Sorry, your comment made me think of this
This is just beautiful & peak, y'know in The Philippines this song was popular due to this song aired 1 year after the EDSA Revolution (Februray 25, 1987) on the radio, and in fact the song is still popular & still aired from surviving events such as ABS-CBN & MOR being shutdown. In fact, this song is so popular in the Philippines Limmy had a first tour in Asia/The Philippines (only on Manila/Pasay, Palawan & Cebu) since 1990. [then had a tour both Singapore & Malaysia in 1993, which caused him to be more popular, and of course 6 tours later he came back to the Philippines singing the song again live in 2013] Even Lakas-NUCD uses this song during the 1992 elections after he toured the Philippines. Ahh, these days.
A true masterpiece, that 80s style synth bass makes you reminisce about the one that got away back in the day despite not even being born in the 80s...
I remember this song was shown right after I watched a guy scoring four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School. It was magical
I wasn’t alive when this song came out but when I was a kid my dad would play it constantly and tell me the stories about his early 20s getting up to trouble listening to this song. It still reminds me of him and I listen to it to make me feel closer to him, thank you for the gift you’ve given us and the countless stories other families tell. RIP dad
It's about society and how we're all pigeon-holed into these means of living. Our hopes and aspirations dictated to us by the media. It's a very clever song.

Saw him opening for Joe Cocker in '91. Was the shortest concert in all my loife
My pal Benny and I would blast this while cruising down the coastline back in ‘85!

Heard this tune at Greggs yesterday, that brings me back... Summer 1987 was my summer of love!
This is the peak of the human civilization
And yet describes the fall of us all...
I shared this on Facebook and my mum liked it, thank you.

I love the effort put into this mate - convincing VHS quality too rather than that overlay pish cause you can see all the colour bleed etc
Wae ya look at that youre a limmy fan too! :D
There's a tom Scott video on the VHS look. It's interesting
Sorry, but it does not appear convincing at all, .. at the end there is no quick snippet of homemade porn that he had taped over
The pain in those eyes, artist don't often shed their protective mantle, heartwrenching.
I'm really confused now. Fully aware this has been etched out of a comedy show scene but it's actually masterful 🤣
My first child was conceived whilst this song played in the background in 1987. This song has been so instrumental in mine and my wife's lives and sadly it was last played as the coffin went down in her funeral. First time listening in over a year. Here's to you Debbie mcdougal
ohh mate, im sorry for your loss pal, but rest assured, debbie is up there with Benny Harvey mate, and theyre looking out for one another.
Why has it taken me years to discover this remix?
It's a friday afternoon in 1987, and my mom is taking me & my sister to McDonald's while this is playing, life is good.
I thought this was going to be cringe as hell but jesus christ was I wrong. Brilliant. Brilliant. Makes me thankful there's an internet.
I mind a trip to Millport when we forget aw the other tapes apart from the single of this. We must have played it 500 times over one weekend, but nobody cared...some summer that. Wish I could go back.
I was up the top of that Finneston Cran the other night with this lad, on this death slide thing. Bold as brass he was, even the polis were cracking up.

Still makes me cry
This is possibly the best single ever made! That "Wrong way down a one way street" lyric is the best lyric ever sung in the history of the universe.

used to listen to this in my wee corolla in the carparks, brings me a bit of nostalgia
He only went the wrong way down a one way street to give the caravan a wee nudge
They didn't even to get to finish the ludo game!
Oh my god I'm gonna go watch that again sixteen times in a row!
I don't think it's funny to mock the dead mate. Get ya head out yee arse
This is still so fucking good. Has Limmy seen it?

It’s my sub renewal on Tuesday, gonnae try get him to play this on stream.
Great idea cutting in the shots from the 'I Want To Know What Love Is' segment
So many things just went right here. Well done !

Thank you for this.
Used to listen to this song with the pals in Millport.
Nay aggro. Nay fightin.

Yo, somebody makes this a YTPMV or a Sparta Remix or even House Phonk (nor Brazilian Funk)

Heard that with my buddy Benny. Havent seen him in years. Hope he is well.
Remember waiting for hours for this to be played on the radio and for me to record it onto a cassette!

I met Limmy once. He was surprisingly down to earth and very, very funny.
It's about society and how we're all pigeon-holed into these means of living. Our hopes and aspirations dictated to us by the media. It's a very clever song.
Really makes you think.
Timmy Mallett and Limmy Mullet, those were the 80's for me.
Goosebumps. Just incredible stuff. Life changing.
Abso-fucking-lutely brilliant. Literally one of the best things produced in UA-cam in years. I might have to put it on my iPod.
