Too Simondotwats. "I cried all the way to the chip shop" That's exactly what THE FST SLAGS in VIZ magazine would have done, if they got to the chip shop, and remembered they had forgotten their money!
A heart wrenching tale of unrequited love...and the deep resentment of rejection that turns to emotional turmoil set to a sympathetic symphony... Which even with the passing of the decades has not lost its impact on the listeners emotions..... Yes, Gordon is still a puff !
I used to use this song as a test when the internet was developing from text to pics to audio, to videos. I bought the original 45rpm record and loved it but then it seemed to blur into obscurity...few people remembered or had heard of it. Then.....eventually the original TOTP footage appeared on RU-vid... I rejoiced.! Now there's lots of opportunity to view it, everybody seems to remember it. And to top it off....I married a girl called Julie...
Graham Fellows is such a nice fella, top guy & I have met him quite a few times over the years at different events & gigs & sat & had a Curry with him one time after he had done his act that night. It was John Shuttleworth on that occasion...
There was a guy in our class at school, a real quiet lad with raging red ginger hair called Gordon, and he got fuckin crucified with this song every day for years after this song emerged 😂😂 a fuckin classic, and it just so happens that I was at this in Blackpool a few weeks ago,, ah the memories
On it's release in 1977 this was reviewed on Rosco's Round Table one Friday evening. One of the Emperor's guests....Billy Connolly. His verdict: ''I loved every minute of that.''
Amazing I still know all the words after all these years it hearing this for decades. Good to see him still performing. My grandkids just asked me what a ‘Puff’ was…… I’ll let their parents explain… 😂🤣👍🍻
SHE'S a puff! PC 2022 version. LOL LOL LOL! Great to hear this song again after many years. Still remember seeing him on TOTP, it was such a funny song...but not, I fear, for todays young woke puritans LOL.
It’s great to hear such politically incorrect terms such as Puff, Slag, Bitch. Let’s face it, a Puff is a Puff; there’s no dressing it up. As for the other terms, we all know plenty of those. Let’s bring all this lovely vocabulary back & make such people feel horribly uncomfortable and offended.
Oh dear Rebellion really scraping the barrel with shite like this. At least you have the karaoke later with sparrer and the rejects. Singalong rebels with not one bit of angst or attitude lol. Well it keeps the punk police happy. This festival is everything punk/oi shouldn't be.
I was (and probably still am) a punk. the 'Oi' thing and blue mohicans is shite, crude, basic stuff for drunk thickies, then and now. Angry twats from the lower social orders. Punk is FAR better than any of that.
