If this were any other sketch show, this sketch would've ended with an extended version of the song, in which the same lyric gets sung over and over. But since this is Limmy's Show, it's literally a single chord, seven words and that's it LOL
I've watched this many times, but I realized just now, that Limmy's "your father would be proud" friend and the record company guy were played by the same actor, this whole time. This is one of the most impressive combinations of great acting and special make ups, as well as costuming work I've ever seen
The you’re faether would be proud guy is brilliant. In the next scene he’s a cockney dickhead and you barely notice it’s the same guy until you’re on the 22nd revisit of this video
I believe the deeper message here is that, by going the wrong way down a one way street, we are essentially avoiding the path in life expected for us to take, while at the same time falling victim to the dangers of nonconformity and rebellious behavior.
his sketches are uncanny sometimes because this is exactly how my brain works. like the idea of performing some absolutely shite trick or song or dance move and acting like it's the dogs bollocks is something that has always resonated with me. that feeling of cringe from the people you're showing but also the sense of duping them making them think you're actually that much of a twat. can't really put it into words but singing a 7 word song infront of a crowd of people is the epitome of this feeling.
@@TrueFilteryeah I'm with you. The joke is that they think the song is amazing, despite it just being a little jingle that he came up with on the spot. None of the people listening to him are cringing.
@@elijahmeilak2906 praise youtube - people explaining the joke to another 15 yrs after the thing was made. class. it;s midnight and i'm responding to u twats. classic.
I've watched this video more times than I've seen my family in the last few years and it's only today that I realised the flower the little girl gives him that he smells is plastic.
I actually cried at the 'sentimental' part, rofl.. even knowing it was funny and a joke, the sappy music and close ups were just too damn good. Damn you, Limmy! "That's my boy." .. Don't we all wish we could hear that?
What a beautiful and emotionally charged story about a young man chasing his dreams. I will show this incredible piece of cinematography to all the generations of my family
It's a good song. Its a very good song. I like it a lot and I would buy it. But it is a little bit too bluesy for my tastes. But that's just my opinion...
So many good bits. When he looks back at jimmy Somerville and back in shot and smiles. When yer one says “don’t worry we love you” and he scoffs and continues on. When the guy says “yir feather would be proud” and he cries. And of course “yaaaaaaaah” This sketch for me into Limmy. Yaaaaaaaah!!!!
I actually got pulled over the other day for going the wrong way down a one way street. It actually took all my strength not to bust a gut. Thanks for making me almost get a ticket, Limmy
My grandfather introduced me to this gem of a song. We used to hear this often at the middle of a night and he used to jump ups n down like a ping-pong ball. I'm now a proud owner of a local cap selling company named 'Staaar' and work as part-time bass player in a hip hop group called Gimmey.

omg after all these years I thought it went "one way down a runway street" but last night I was lying down with my headphones on listening in peace, and when it got to the one way part I was like HOLD ON, WHAT rewinded my CD and finally the lyrics made sense in my head! wrong way down a one way street 😅 aye you can say that again limmy! amazing the things you pick up on, even after a hunderd listens you always find something new
Pure comedy gold of the highest standard from everyone here. Not sure there is a month that goes by that I don't come back to this as it always uplifts me and makes me have a good involuntary giggle , pure joy! Love you Limmy!
Have you ever heard a song so beautiful, so deep, that it makes your chest heavy? This is how I feel when I hear this song. I feel safe when I hear Limmy speak those beautiful lyrics. I am on the edge of my seat, gripping legs harder and harder with every word. Limmy will be remembered forever, as the man who forever changed music as we know it. Benny Harvey RIP
“Wrong way down a one way street” “What was that-“ “What was what?” “That song” “Oh it was just something I made up” “It was weird, don’t do that again” *goes home and angrily writes a sketch*
You know, I just realized that this basically tells the story of Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor. Except Albinoni made a bit of a song, died, and then Giazotto shows up hundreds of years later and says "Star!"
This will always be my favourite Limmy sketch even though the lampshade one is the funniest (although now I think of it, that one where he was staring at a pair of trainers was the actual funniest).
I like how he seems to be in pain when singing it.
That’s called pure passion. It’s very rare to see nowadays, I’ve almost forgotten what it’s like to witness it.
