- spitting image series 11 song john major We're so sorry if the poll tax,
has been causing you distress in any way
(Norman Lamont)
We're so sorry is you're not working
Can't you look on it as unpaid holiday?
(Kenneth Baker)
God we're sorry you're all unhappy
Every single move we ever made was wrong
(Kenneth Clarke)
Though that awful era lingers
All the time we crossed our fingers
'Cause we knew that it was wicked all along
(All)
'Cause ve vere only obeying orders
And the one who made us do it all was "she"
Yes ve vere only obeying orders
Or she'd send us straight to bed without our tea
Ve vere only obeying orders
And we obeyed each order to the full
But at least we didn't go and
Decide to march on Poland
Ve vere just obeying orders- Jawohl!
(John Major)
She loathed the unions and though we loved them,
She insisted we exterminate the lot
She made us sell off the family heirlooms
And squander every penny that we'd got
We made you homeless but under protest
But we promise you it won't occur again
Though a few chose to be martyrs
She soon had there guts for garters
(Geoffrey Howe)
And their balls nailed to the door of number 10
(All)
Ve vere only obeying orders
And when we did these dreadful things we cried
Ve vere only obeying orders
But deep down we were always on your side
Ve vere only obeying orders
And we had to watch our goosestep you can bet
But we're smashing fellows really
We adore you people dearly
So please can't you forgive us and forget?
A shame the music video cant be shown
Thanks for uploading all these. (They're probably copyright-fascist because they're embarrassed at how good it used to be compared to the comeback!)
Thank you for bringing back this song. I absolutely loved but couldn't find it on UA-cam anywhere.
Thank you thank you thank you! I love the spitting image songs so much, but you are the only one who can upload the songs without them getting taken down. Their other song “We’re guilty” reminds of this song, but this is my favorite.
Yes I remembered your comment regarding it, I'll have to go through some of the series and get some more songs on as much needed right now.
@@hermanthetosser4219 Thank you dude, I've been looking for this song ever since they took everything down when the new show came out!
@@hermanthetosser4219 second everything said above! you're a hero
Finally, someone managed to bring the song back, shame we can't have the video though. Any chance you could put it on a google drive or something?
Thanks so much love this song Herman! 100% 😎✅👍🏻
In the music video they stand trial at the beginning and the judge says something like 'we find you guilty of twelve years of ...' but i just couldn't understand the word. If anybody remembers the word please help me.😅
I believe it was cockups. The same charge that this current bunch of Tories since Cameron could be charged with 😂
Thanks for uploading this
Please upload the audio were Kenneth Baker makes slug puns and his transformation to a slug
Thank you for the upload! Do you have the one where the Queen sings staying alive?
Is this based on any existing song?
Could you please publish the video on Internet Archive and put the link in the description or comments?
The whole series is on Internet Archive and Odyssee you just have to look hard enough
Can we get the Rishi Sunak edition?
Doesn't really work with current politics because we've had so many Tory PMs. Thatcher was in power for a decade, unheard of today.
Or a new Labour edition
ok, it'll be hard, but i'll try.
Rishi Sunak
We're so sorry if the Tories,
has been causing you distress in any way
(Liz Truss)
We're so sorry that we're not working
Can't you look on it as unpaid holiday?
(George Osborne)
God we're sorry you're all dying
Every single move we ever made was wrong
(David Cameron)
Though that awful era lingers
All the time we crossed our fingers
'Cause we knew that it was wicked all along
(All)
'Cause ve vere only obeying orders
And the one who made us do it all was "they" (donors)
Yes ve vere only obeying orders
Or they'd send us straight to Brussels without our tea
Ve vere only obeying orders
And we obeyed each order to the full
But at least we didn't go and
Decide to march on Poland
Ve vere just obeying orders- Jawohl!
(Rishi Sunak)
they loathed the NHS and though we loved them,
they insisted we exterminate the lot
She (Theresa) made us sell off the police service
And squander every penny that we'd got
We made you homeless but under protest
But we promise you it won't occur again
Though absolutely none chose to be martyrs
they soon had guts for garters
(Matt Hancock)
And they were dragged out to the door of number 10
(All)
Ve vere only obeying orders
And when we did these dreadful things we drank
Ve vere only obeying orders
But deep down we were always on your side
Ve vere only obeying orders
And we had to watch our goosestep you can bet
But we're smashing fellows really
We think we adore you people dearly
So please can't you forgive us and forget?
im expecting this comment to get flagged ngl
You can tell that the writers hated the tory party more than any other
They went after Labour and the Liberal/SDP alliance as much as they could but with them in opposition all they would do is make a load of wind.
@@stickytapenrust6869 they made labour and the SDP just look like idiots they made thatcher and the tories look like ever single dictator and mass murderer and what they did was childs play to what they made thatcher look like
@@stickytapenrust6869mostly mocked Labour for being useless at winning elections(and then when new labour came about they made fun of them for abandoning their ideals for power) and libdems for being irrelevant
They went after them all equally, it's just the Tories gave them the best material because they were fucking evil
The Conservatives were in power for the entire show run, it's hardly surprising that the government does more and has more to be criticised for
Labour 2024.
Change a few words and you would swear this was about the Covid lockdowns.
Indeed
@@hermanthetosser4219 Glad you agree.
@@kingnagarmel yeah at the time of uploading and watching these episodes I couldn't agree more especially with what has happened...
@@hermanthetosser4219 Replace Thatcher with Fauci and it would be perfect, hell somebody should animate that.
I disagree, the covid lockdowns were pathetically weak and didn’t go anywhere near far enough to stop covid, the politicians were too spineless and instead of shutting everything down for 2 weeks, enforcing strict quarantine on those sick, mandating vaccination, and enforcing strict border controls and flight restrictions they dithered till it was too late and then started enforcing pathetic measures and asking the public nicely to not spread covid when too many people had it to stop it.
The lockdowns were a total failure because they were slow and scared of public opinion and so the governments of the world let millions die while still annoying people with half baked lockdowns that only slowed the spread rather than stopping it dead.
