Loving the RU-vid comments from geeks who don't get the joke and don't have a clue how awesome GLC's satires are. For the uninitiated, this song was first released in 2004 and reached no.3 in the UK charts.
Core memory of mine is being introduced to this group by a Welsh guy while playing WoW back in 2005 or so. I was 16 years old and had the greatest hits album on loop while farming undeads in Duskwood. Christ, what a different world it was back then.
I heard this song once or twice in 2004 and was like "Meh..." and forgot about it then suddenly about a week ago at about 3 in the morning I literally jolted awake with this song in my head and it wont leave me alone...its so fucking catchy. and it wont stop...ever.
I Know Right! :~) I remember this song from my Youth and I love it so much and my favourite Lyric is it's cathy hook of "Guns Don't Kill People Robbers Do (Rappers) Calling The Police Whoo Whoo Whoo" and the Bit at the end "Uh Uh I love you Mum! I love You Dad"
A classmate of mine suggested this song to me years ago and listened to it all the time. Then recently I spent weeks trying to remember it. Now I’m here.
This track was actually in a massive "artist sampler" torrent back in 2005 or 2006 released by South by Southwest of all music acts that were playing in their week-long, city-wide music festival.
@@jthc5627 It's not easy,anyway.I can understand most English,Scottish and Irish but Welsh (at hip hop speed) confuses the hell out of me.Still,it was hilarious,woowoowoo.

@@stevenconnor4221 very good, but it's Zammo not Zappo. For the reference Zammo od'd on smack in the school toilets in a kids show called Grange Hill. Then the kids on the show put out some awful single called 'Just say no!' to, I guess, stop school aged children doing heroin.
I was once driving through Wellington NZ and they popped up on the radio. Very strange to be all the way over there and they are referencing Tywbalym (made-up spelling)
@@MG-bs5mr I did record Thriller (vynil single with "Things I Do for You" on the b-side), not long after release, from the scratched/discount bin, onto tape (magnetic) with one of those recorders where you had to hold the red Btn down while pushing the play-monolith forwards to start recording... Channel Four having been launched earlier that month... (I checked) 221e 221E 221E 221e
@@podulox the good old days eh. I would say that your method might produce the better results because my recording off the radio ALWAYS ended up with "... and that was ### at number 12, now coming in at nber 11..." 🤣😂👍
A friend introduced me to these guys yeeears ago and my son mentioned them to me tonight so I'm here for the nostalgia lol. He used to get down to this and Pitman lol.
2004 in a nutshell lol. I saw this all over the tv when my mom sent me across the pond to visit my sister in Scotland 20 years ago. Another video that was huge on the tele that summer was Dry Your Eyes but The Streets. Good times.
this is a VERY intelligent, witty and satirical song on politics. The fact that the message seems to have gone over a lot of peoples heads is quite sad, listen to the lyrics guys, just because something is amusing doesn't mean it is not intelligent. The lyrics have way more of a political message than 99% of tracks in the charts right now.
I saw Maggot in a Tesco in Truro, Cornwall, once, must've been around 2004, I was drunk so I obviously slapped him round his arm, pointed at him and said "Hey, it's Maggot from GLC, yeah?" he confirmed it and I said "Nice one, see ya" and off I drunkenly went....True Story
Errrr.... I worked "Security" at Glastonbury 2004 and missed out on all the goldie-lookin' chains they threw into the crowd with free abandon. One of the biggest regrets of my life....
Saw this song on the box the other week. So much so that I found the cd in a charity shop. Missed this track the first time around but we all need a bit of light hearted pee-taking out of the rap scene from time to time don't we?.
