Lyrics:
Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue
Pot the reds then screw it back
For the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy
Now ol' Milo as we all know's
Got loadsa dappa suits
London bred and he keeps his head
Though he's got an Italian roots
Emotional but he keeps his cool
'Til he reaches the finals
And whether he wins or whether he don't
"I always bite me eyeballs"
Now our friend Den, hours he spent
Down the snooker hall
On the old green baize his mates seem amazed
The skills with a snooker ball
But them long shots, he never ever got
Why? The old mind boggles
But nowadays he pots the lot
"Cause I wear these goggles"
Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue
Pot the reds then screw it back
For the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy
Now Terry the taff was born in a gaff
In the valleys of the land of song
And as the reds he puts to bed
He likes to sing along
"If I win", he says with a grin
"It can only help me, can't it?"
"I'll celebrate, I'll buy another eight"
"Hairbrushes for me barnet"
But old Willy Thorne his hair's all gone
And his mates all take the rise
His opponent said, "Cover up his head
'Cause it's shining in my eyes"
When the light shines down on his bare crown
It's a cert he's gonna walk it
It is just not fair giving off that glare
"Perhaps I ought to chalk it"
Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue
Pot the reds then screw it back
For the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy
Steve last year come very near
To winning the snooker crown
But he never got to put it on his ginger nut
'Cause the black ball wouldn't go down
His manager a go and said "Sod that ball"
But it helped him make his mind up
Now he don't care who wins this year
"Cause he's got the rest of us signed up"
Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue
Pot the reds then screw it back
For the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy
Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue
Pot the reds then screw it back
For the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

"Cuz I wear these garrrrgles" 😂😂
I don't know why but this comment had me sniggering all day. I think it's the 'gaaaaaaaaargles' because that's what he says. My thanks x
Gaaaaaargles
Loooooool.
The Deirdre Barlow look 😂
R.I.P Willie Thorne
All stand for the UK national anthem
PMSL
Quality ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes please
brilliant!
I thought that was Ghost Town? Oh wait! That's Ireland's national anthem.
Couldn't believe it when some fella drove through Camberley High Street recently, with his windows down, and this was blaring out. Memories!
Perfick:)
Seriously Janet !!!! It was lifted from what Del Boy (a fellow Londoner) used to say ..... hope yr having a happy life hun xxx
Camberloopy
Not often you see your home town mentioned… it was probably me haha
There will always be an England.
“Perhaps I ought to chalk it” 😂
Willie was probably the best singer of the lot 😂
i was watching 96 i was dazzled by willies head
Just unearthed this absolute gem. What a belter.
The 11 people who disliked this video were clearly blinded by the bald head of Willie Thorne.
😂😂
even if i don't watch snooker i still love this song so funny and love them all singing along and having a good time my father would have watched them all when he was my age
i disliked it solely as some welsh git stole me bleedin hairbrush
Haha 🤣👍@@martinworld7214
@@martinworld7214 yes that came from alf garnett
When sportsmen were open to a piss take and a good laugh
snooker is sports :) ?

and now we have Marcus Rashford 🤦♂
Exactly. You'd never catch a footballer doing this now.
These days are gone forever . Remember going up Upton Park snooker hall with my dad late 80s . Smokey room & beer
If you were born in 1988 then you wouldn't be going to the snooker halll late 80s otherwise you'd be 1 or 2 years old

@@leodoyle7975R u born in the year 7975 then mate
Still have my photo of myself and chas and Dave . Miss Chas alot lovely guy 😢
This should be the national anthem.
Chaz and Dave are legends. Period.
I stumbled upon this song in the 80's, it was playing during a commercial break on TV as I was walking by. It immediately caught my attention and I've loved it ever since! Sure, it's not Grammy material by any means but it's a hell of a lot of fun!
Everyone remembers the order of colours in snooker because of this song.
That’s how I learnt the game 😂
Lol.
How I learned the order lol
Truth
yellagreenbranbluepink and black
Probably the last bastion of British knees-up end-of-the-pier music hall to survive in popular culture.
I love this song despite the fact that I can't play cue sports to save my life and find professional snooker tedious. My dad on the other hand is half decent at billiards, periodically watches professional snooker, and can't stand anything Chas and Dave recorded. The irony is delightful.
The 80s, a time of snooker and knitwear.
All my family hate this so i play it on purpose. Funny how they always end up singing lol
I always thought it said 'ALWAYS POT ME EYEBALLS' but the lyrics say BITE. Either way it's one of my favourite parts.
The peak of twentieth century music
Chase & Dave - absolute legends 👏🏼
Oh, what memories. Back in the time when people used to laugh freely and you could see that they enjoyed what they were doing. How I wish happiness and decent comedy were allowed back.
Yes, those were the days where you could have a bit of fun with the lads, taking the Micky out of each other especially with these Gogooles , and Willie Thorne with having to possibly chalk his head. Great band
I didn’t like Chas and Dave music growing up but the last few years I’ve got right into it .
diversity should have strengthened our pride in our identity.
Same

Put this on 1.5 or 1.25 its sounds like a national anthem
Reminds me of my grandad this tune epic xx miss him so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Chas and Dave sure could write a catchy tune. Took them for granted during my childhood cos they were always about.
Only now that I've grown up, do I appreciate just how immensely talented they were. Always brings back happy memories listening to them.
Willie just loving life during this. Great stuff
Why don’t any of today’s players have this as their walk-on music?
Because it's utter shite.
they all should
Not a good enough sense of humour.
Asking the important questions.
Copyright?
Like the old snooker stars of yesteryear and Chas and Dave lovely to bits ♥
Chas and Dave were brilliant
Serious (and very accomplished!) musicians who gave it all up to attack the charts with good old fashioned honest working class British singalongs...Eric Clapton didn't join their Xmas special for nothing! They are gems
@@kimchi_b and their old friend Albert Lee from Head, Hands and Feet!
happy world championship day everyone
Woke up with this in my head 😂 love it
Thanks to this song , it was the only way I could ever remember the order of the colours.
😂
This would never happen these days far too boring the game now 😮loved this ❤❤❤
Legends. Classic. I'll always be grateful to these legends in this video who inspired the next generation of snooker players and fans. I wish I could've grow up back then but anyway I'll very proud to be a fan of this beautiful game :)
I don't remember this back in the day. What a great bunch of guys. I loved watching the snooker.. And have played many a time with friends.
Dear Willie Thorne is just 32 here
Looks older ngl
Looks 50
He sadly passed away on 17th June 2020.
He is no longer of this world.
My grandfather probably loves this song.
He enjoys snooker and doesn't mind a game or 2.
Life-affirming.
Snuka luopy nats ah wea wewre ahl snuka loupy,
Pot de rest ahn screuw back foh the yella green braahn blu pink ahn blak
I have grown up with snooker and my dad always plays this song, I love it!
Absolutely 💯💯 classic song
Paradigm shift in 20th century music
Genius song by 2 masters
I agree....genius lyricists they are. Love em. Top guys
Such a good song!
I could only remember the order of the balls because of this song.
@@1Flyingfist ...screw back for the yeller, green, brown, blue, pink and black!
This was especially liked by snooker fans and the only one i ve ever heard about snooker It was a credit to all the players to unite with Chas n Dave andproduced a tune that promoted the sport which is very popular in Britain
"Foul stroke. Four away."
This was just on WGN 9am news. Awesomely!
Such a catchy tune. I likes it.
Steve at that time of his career was a three time world champion 1981 18-12 against Doug Mountjoy; 1983 18-6 against Cliff Thorburn and 1984 18-16 against Jimmy White. Steve was also a four time UK Champion: 1980 16-6 vs Alex Higgins; 1981 16-3 vs Terry Griffiths; 1984 16-8 vs Alex Higgins; and 1985 16-14 vs Willie Thorne. Steve had only one Masters title at that point 1982 9-5 vs Terry Griffiths.
Bobby you are such a nerd
Snooker and Arsenal. Top man 👌🏻
Luuuucccaaaaaa
OMG I remember when this was out. Snooker was it's highest back then

Some memories here 😂
Very fitting for the finals today 😀
Word has it Rocket Ronnie sings this before every match
Superb….. I’m so emotional listening to this….I’m showing my age
I hear you,,,,I was 14 when this came out in 86.
@@mauriceosullivan6832 Hi Maurice, I was 25 and reminds me of the time n Fab to be young and luvly memories of my parents too. Fab Snooker then my favourite Bill Werbeniuk 'great sense of humour and real beer on set. Did you see out the 85 final ' then ust to bet on the snooker wasn't married then .Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK and Aston Villa fan since 1968🤝
Imagine a remaking of this with todays top stars sadly no Chas. Who when playing snooker on any table full, half size sang this to rem order of colours.
Hands up 🙌 here 🤣
But old Willie Thorne, his hairs all gone what a brilliant line😂
That whole verse about Thorne was genius. Rhyming walk it, with chalk it 👋
Old Willie Thorne, izz airs all gorn!
Brilliant love this ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's absolutely bonkers that Willie Thorne was only 31 here with that hair (or lack of). RIP.
If i ever qualify for the crucible this is my entrance music................i wouldn't hold your breath waiting for me though 😂
the potting balls as beats were super fine
Great memories!
Sehr.schön
👍🌹🌹🌹💖💖💖
I’ve enjoyed this song for decades, thankyou sir 👍🍻
They need to now make snooker loopy 2 for charity and for the laugh of course!!! Lol 🤣
I have the 12" single of this song.
It doesn't get better than this.
i just love chaz and dave i think all there songs are great richard
Lift my spirits ❤😂
Brilliant play every night 😂❤
Still love
This going to my walk on music when I play snooker at my local snooker club
😂😂 deadly
My late dad met Chas & Dave and learnt a few terms that he used in conversation.
How I learned the order of the colours
браво 👏
Awesome upload 🤘🤘
Maybe I’m shrooming, but I honestly can’t make out any of these words lmao
Better than band aid!
Hella good drummer.. really good..👍
My daughters bedtime song every night 😂😊
Pot Black was one of my favourite TV shows. And then colour TV came along. And it only got better.
"For those watching in black & white, the pink is behind the brown".
This should be the opening theme for the snooker
Wow this brings back memories!! I had totally forgotten about this video 🤣👌🏻😉👍🏻 deadly. Gotta love it though!
Обожаю эту песню и видео❤😊
Seeing the picture that showed OLD players, and the other one's that show age now. I was surprised see the video + the song that was sung by the old, and future championships.
Gertcha
Anyone remember the Campbells meatballs as with the snooker theme! Just watched it there😂😂
The 1980s would have been truly complete if Eric Bristow, Geoff Capes and Daley Thompson had released novelty records of their own.
Dont forget we did have the hoddle & waddle duet flying the flag for football
Daley Thompson and Geoff Capes got videogames.
Show this to any foreigner and they’ll quickly get a taste of what it’s like to be English.
agreed 1000 per cent
If you don't appreciate the writing of this song whats wrong with you lol absolutely spectacular 😅
COS I WEAR THESE GOGGLES!
Would absolutely LOVE to see this released again but with a bunch of current snooker personalities.. likes of Selby Ronnie Judd Mark Williams ect.. would be quality!!
