lyrics
(Traveller)
I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru,
I've had sunstroke in the arctic and a swim in Timbuktu,
I've seen unicorns in Burma and a Yeti in Nepal,
And I've danced with ten-foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall,
I've met the King of China and a working Yorkshire miner,
But I've never met a nice South African!
(Chorus)
No he's never met a nice South African,
And that's not bloody surprising man,
'Cause we're a bunch of arrogant bastards who hate black people!
(Traveller)
I once got served in Woolies after less than four week's wait,
I had lunch with Rowan Atkinson when he paid and wasn't late,
I know a public swimming bath where they don't piss in the pool,
I know a guy who got a job straight after leaving school,
I've met a normal merman and a fairly modest German,
But I've never met a nice South African!
(Chorus)
No he's never met a nice South African,
And that's not bloody surprising man,
'Cause we're a bunch of talentless murderers who smell like baboons!
(Traveller)
I've had a Close Encounter of the Twenty-Second Kind,
That's when an alien spaceship disappears up your behind,
I got directory enquiries after less than forty rings,
I've even heard a decent song by Paul McCartney's Wings,
I've seen a flying pig in a quite convincing wig,
But I've never met a nice South African!
(Chorus)
No he's never met a nice South African,
And that's not bloody surprising man,
'Cause we're a bunch of ignorant loudmouths with no sense of humour!
(Traveller)
I've met the Loch Ness Monster and he looks like Fred Astaire,
At the BBC in London he's the Chief Commissionaire,
I know a place in Glasgow which is rife with daffodillies,
I met a man in Kathmandu who claimed to have two willies,
I've had a nice pot noodle, but I've never had a poodle,
And I've never met a nice South African!
(Chorus)
No he's never met a nice South African,
And that's not bloody surprising man,
Because we've never met one either,
Except for Breyten Breytenbach and he's emigrated to Paris...
Yes he's quite a nice South African,
And he's hardly ever killed anyone,
And he's not smelly at all, that's why they put him prison!
My art teacher was a nice south african but then again he wasn't white
I mean one of the first lines in the song is about how the not so nice south africans hate black people
The only white South African I have met (that didnt live in the states) tried to convince me Mandela was a terrorist
so then he was just african
I've met a nice South African.
Probably why she moved to New Zealand.
Most nice South Africans do
Imagine something this principled and unapologetically critical of evil being approved for freeview tv today.
"principled and unapologetically critical" is not what I'd call this lol its a very funny song I love it but its so silly its basically school yard taunting,
you could call it South Africans are "smelly poopoo heads" the song and nothing would change
What the fuck are you talking about, it's a supposedly "anti racist" song that is itself hypocritical racist
Well, this comment aged amazingly well, to the point you might get a visit from the filth if they think you posted it within the last month
South African farmers are being murdered in droves by racist blacks.
@@Teal_. That's why it's great. Why fight evil ideologies with WORDS WORDS WORDS when taunting gets just as much done with more fun?
I did meet a nice South African once. He was a kind and gentle soul so his life must have been very difficult.
did you live to tell the tale?
Was it Breyten Bretenbach?
He hadn’t killed many people????
you didnt
@@remraf1984nah he’s in prison
Why are South Africans buried 8 foot under? Because deep down they’re nice people.
What about 'your' kind?
@@gwynnwilson3761 get over it snowflake it's just a joke.
we need 80s Spitting Image back.
One of the best shows ever even though I was young it was still hilarious
The recent reboot was such a let down.
Never happen. Too afraid of offending someone.
Which, as a satirical comedy show was the whole point. (Followed by Hale & Pace when it was still close to the knuckle, ie Cat in a microwave)
@@JohnJackson-mn4ts didnt they made a satire of greta?
@@MatPost The new one was big punching down energy
Elon Musk has entered the meeting to confirm the accusation.

Oh please, what bullshit. Catchy banter song👍, but to say it's deserved shows you know nothing of SAfrican history.
@@thej-man4283I feel like making fun of Apartheid is quite justified.

@@thej-man4283they had nukes and only got rid of them because they didn’t want the new black government to own them
I've only ever met one South African, and he was a right wander. Literally the only reason my dad didn't punch him out was because we were in a church at the time. He had the good graces to dip before the service ended so he wouldn't get cornered outside, because I'm pretty sure there were at least three people in that church who were ready to take a swing at him.
One day, perhaps I shall meet the fabled nice South African.
What was he up to?
@wildmutt02 Racism, mostly. Kept muttering slurs about most of the people of colour in the congregation, including a family friend who was, admittedly, being a bit loud, but in his defense he is an autistic fellow and he just wanted to be nice to the priest.
Other than that, he was making some very pointed comments about how "inconvenient" it was to have to make space for people in wheelchairs. My other dad is practically wheelchair bound, aside from very good days (of which this was not one, we were all pretty uncomfortable even before this twat started going off.)
@@Frozenkoldfury Sounds like a real arrogant loudmouth.
What country are you from?, just wondering if there the same everywhere they go 😂

I don't get the joke but oh well
"We're a bunch of vinegar horses who hate bleck people" - love the subtitles!
I've met a nice South African, but she lived in America so idk if that counts
Nah. Breyten Breytanbach also doesn't really count, since he emigrated.
Skeletor ! ❤
@@capncake8837 And he's never killed anyone, and he's not smelly at all, thats why they put him in prison.
We are probably the nicest country and people in the world, anyone who comes here confirms that, this eas made by some drunk Aussie idiots..
Yeah the whole joke about breytenbach was that he left South Africa, so the only nice South African is one that doesn't live in South africa
Just had a really rude south african customer. Decided to play this after dealing with him haha
If you had you’d not be posting on social media, you’d be in hospital on life support, go tell lies elsewhere..

Update: Elon Musk denied the Holocaust
This song is so funny yet true. For younger people this song was performed pre 1990 when the racist apartheid system was in place when Nelson Mandela was still in prison.

@@bushbabybotha9943it should never have existed in the first place. Neither the apartheid government or the current one are good which is why SA is fast headed towards collapse
Thatcher considered Mandela was a terrorist. Cameron was happy to visit apartheid South Africa. Nothing has changed with the Tories. Always on the side of evil.
And South Africa, how is it doing now?
Just found the song to play for my wife's birthday (who is south african) XD
total legend
I hope she has a very good sense of humor or you might face a divorce.
Im sure she could figure out what an arsehole you are without you proving it to her.
I played it to my South African girlfriend today
After four decades it is still TRUE!
Ooooo you must be a little pommie weasel
Poes
Are you English, you are bitter, it’s understandable..
no, the oppression simply flipped
In what way? Every country has good and bad people. I find it extremely ironic how this song was made by the Brit’s when they’re some of the most racist people out there, possibly even more than South Africans
Where is the public swimming bath, with no piss in the pool?
Please I would like to meet the man with 2 willies🤣
Elon Musk is doing his best to not prove this song wrong.
LOL
It's a shame, he was a highly charismatic legend, but got completely brainwashed by the American far right in the last couple of years and it's predictably ruined his personality.
@@dannycolverson6944 cope
@@dannycolverson6944 lmao, allowing free speech on his platform is “brainwashed by the far right”
@@dannycolverson6944 first part is debatable but yeah
This is still as funny as well as when we were kids. 😂😂😂😂
Did you have a clue what it was about?
I try to love everyone, but South Africans make it very difficult.
Why?
You know over 80% of South Africans are black right?
What ???
@@m1000-n8wyou’ll find there’s good and bad people in SA regardless of their race. Not every white person supported apartheid, many were opposed to it
the black ones right
Chris Barrie. Miss the real Spitting Image from the 80's
It was on UA-cam for years but got taken down last year. Wish I’d downloaded it!
@@AtheistOrphan Same here. Absolute classic.
Yeah the new one wasn’t great
And now that I think about it, I've never met a nice Israeli either...

Brilliant! You should sing it to them!
how was the game
Well in regards to cricket we now know who got the last laugh.
As an Australian, I can confirm that they still think its the 1950s
They come to Australia and spread racism right
At least SA is now ran by its rightful owners, yall still oppress the natives in Aus and the whole world overlooks it
blacks are up to worse shenanigans that back in the 50s

Unless they decide that your home was actually theirs all along
@@typiclyjohny5114 talking to who about what?
Love the way they say "boustards"
in the old video that got removed, a SAn was saying "this sort of thing could air in the 1980s, but people are more aware of racism now". And it was the most "the point ↑, you →" thing I've ever read.
Also there were people saying "you know the BBC has never apologised for this", as if the BBC was in the habit of apologising for programmes made by Central.
IS THIS ABOUT ELON MUSK
Nah, brsk owners
Nah, it was made in the '80s, during the Apartheid era of South Africa
...but i'll admit that it also fits for Elongated Muskrat
I blare this whenever the Muskrat does anything
I just played this to my mates while we were staying at a caravan and we basically just pissed our selves.
Can this be done for Israel 😅
Hahaha spot on!
when the world needed them the most, they couldn't be found.
someone must pick up the mantle, and write I've Never Met A Nice Israeli
@@danku-chan "ive never met a nice Israeli mon but that's not bloody surprising cause there a bunch of Bigoted zealots who bomb brown babies" ...

Add Dutch. Then again South Africans are their descendants. French are fairly smug too.
@@neilshanahan8217 But they are not quite as genocidal as israils.
the Israelis are a bit killy
What happened to the other spitting image songs? They were here yesterday. Man, I'd hate to have lost them all twice!
Got hit with a 2nd strike 2 days ago... another and I will lose the channel. So I might have to hide all my uploads for few months
@@hermanthetosser4219 I'm sorry to hear that, was it a spitting image strike because I thought they didn't recognize it if it wasn't video. I guess that applies to other clips as well. Well, whenever you decide it's safe to reupload the songs, I'll be here waiting! :)
@@cosmocosmoton it was on the johnny cash spitting image... they said it was hate speech, I think due to my choice of still as the image was the ku klux. Was waiting for the original strike to clear in January, but now it's just eggshells so will have to private everything maybe.
@@hermanthetosser4219 Context is everything but youtube doesn't care, they'd probably remove a video that condemns the klan just for having pictures of it.
How long will the wait be till it's safe? Maybe you oughta make a second channel with the spitting image songs, since they seem to be the most divisive and strike prone
@@cosmocosmoton christ.... won't be until March. I keep thinking the next day I will have the email saying the channel has gone
We had a South African in our house share and he was stealing food out of our cupboards and being a twat and my Scottish house mate Leigh Anne would often be blasting this directly outside his door on repeat for hours on end I suppose she took it too far he moved however he deserved it!!
I know one South African and he'a the type if guy that says he's big-boned. My only addition to that is thin-skinned.
Does he also claim to know more about manufacturing than anyone else alive?
All the english blokes listened to this after the rugby world cup ey. 😀
Bloody hell mate - you're a bit late haha

And now they will again after the game tomorrow 😂
@@marinedekock9957they do now, but you crapped your pants for a moment didn't you?
@@Bolognabeef lol definitely horrible performance for the boks for 78 minutes of the game. Luckily we just needed those last 2 minutes to secure our spot. But well played by the english. We are not such bad people after all lol
i work at a bar and i always think of this song when one regulars whos south African but he's such a sweet lad
Wish I could find the full video
Took me way too long to realise the vocal style was based on 'Cool for Cats' by Squeeze >.
Absolute banger

Yes, it highlights British or Australian retardation..
Wouldn’t be allowed now…some gammon would call it anti-white racism wokeness

This is poetry

I've only ever met 1 South African, but she was black so I don't think she counts
Most ignorant comment I’ve ever read. Gotta love how black on white racism is so overlooked in SA and worldwide.
Love this song
I wonder what happened to the full video.
Out of all the South Africans I’ve met ones been a normal person. To be fair she was about to immigrate
My therapist has a work mate from South Africa in Australia
I can’t believe they were allowed to put this on TV 😂
They were idiots and so ignorant, can’t expect anything better from the stupid British.
Because it's an anti-apartheid song.
@@MrThischarmingman2 it’s a moron song for morons by morons.
Back when people had free speech
@@iggy3200 more like when people were ignorant arseholes..
this song also applies to Israelis
Replace "South-African" with "Zionist" and this song could be released yesterday 😂
Doesn't really work with the song tbh i think israeli sounds better

There's at least one nice South African in British showbusiness: Nigel Pegram.
Thanks
True fact this one ! Yet to meet a nice one
An Israel-centred reboot of this song needs to happen, and it needs to happen yesterday.
Counterpoint: Coco Schoppenboer is a nice South African.
musk?
As a South African I absolutely agree. We also have little to no natural oil reserves , mined all our minerals and have sh!t weather. Our sporting victories are always robbed, we really should just be avoided.
And now the government is in league with Russia & China.
I love that it's exactly the inverse that's true with the exception of the sporting comment there could be some truth to that one who am I to judge
I still find this song so funny
That's because you don' t have the ability to think
He lied!
There’s no Public Pools without urine!
Not after I'd visited them.
This goes hard af
I met a nice South African but he was a black man.
Omg did u say black... omg datz RAISIN
I've met a nice South African, he was a black man, and then he tried to rape my friend.
Some guy had the full scene uploaded but the video’s gone now. Last time I saw it he was railing against the comment section so maybe he removed it because he couldn’t handle the bants.
No itv removed near enough all spitting image uploads when thru brought the britbox series reboot out
@@hermanthetosser4219 ah, that’s a shame.
🎶I’ve never met a nice Zionist 🎶
I can confirm: we put gefilte fish on toast for breakfast
Is there a chance to upload the video to with the song? Because it is more interesting.
Fat chance... Itv in the UK have made that virtually impossible

does anyone have the puppet show?

I shut a kid from Johannesburg up with this. He'd try to talk and I just kept turning the volume up. Welcome to NYC, don't talk to me about civil rights you sorry excuse for a giggle dog.
He’s not smelly at all…that’s why they put him in prison
Well, Noel Deyzel is a *very* nice South African ♡
I suggest all the bleeding hearts in the comments go visit an informal settlement after dark, see how many nice South Africans are out there 😂
I met a South American today, she wasn't nice.
Genuine question: who’s Bert Bretenbachs(?)
Breyten Breytenbach is a noted Afrikaner poet and writer who was a staunch anti-Apartheid activist. He was jailed for seven years during the Apartheid era for marrying a Vietnamese-French woman in violation of the race-mixing laws at the time. Generally a pretty damned good human being.
