Mark Lamarr gives Kenzie a little helping hand in guessing the intro... Never Mind the Buzzcocks s16e09. Hilarious! .wmv file of clip available here filefactory.com/file/7bc448
This will never, ever get old. Mark Lamarr being legitimately sympathetic and fatherly to that poor, clueless kid, and then ripping "House of the Rising Sun" up like the rockstar he is. I love him so fucking much
Ridiculously late to this one, but Mark knowing the lyrics didn't surprise me at all... Phil knowing the entire backing track note for note was impressive as hell though.
gah, i've decided i love mark lamarr. this video is sooo amazing - i watched it over and over months ago and have still returned to watch again. damn, lamarr can sing!
Legend has it that Kenzie is now employed as an air rifle target at carnivals. The punters hit him more often than all the other targets for some reason.
I love this clip because it shows so clearly the difference between a genuinely cool person (Lamarr) and someone who thinks they're cool (Kenzie, or however his name is spelt. I don't know the guy)
You'd have to be into classic rock music to know it though, evidently Kenzie wasn't. Neither me or my mates during my teen years knew the song as we weren't into that sort of music at the time or ever discussed it. It's really quite simple.
@@Scallion_D But you were some kids in a back bedroom. Here is someone working and living in the music industry and no one has ever thought to play him a classic hit? From the era of his parents youth? He never even just heard it on a radio that was turned on in his house? I suppose if for his next trick Kenzie had said he'd never heard of the Beatles that would be ok because it's not his era. I have also never heard of World War 2 because I wasn't around then. It's arrogant, like you think no one's music matters but your own.
I realise there's been ongoing arguments about whether or not he should have known the song, but I'm 17 and I'll admit I couldn't recognise the song from the intro, but when Lamarr started singing, it was pretty obvious. The song is hardly random, it's a classic
If you aren't into that sort of music then he wouldn't know it. And evidently Kenzie at the age judging by Blazin Squad's music wasn't. I dunno how people can't grasp this.
@@Scallion_D Was he never in a house where his parents put the radio on to 60s music from their own youth? Was he so intellectually incurious that he never heard music except in the genre he wanted to play? It's arrogance.
@@CA-ee1et Evidently not. Maybe his parents weren't music fans? My parents certainly didn't play older music in my house when I was a kid. Everyone's upbringing is different.
@ukulazy Re: the "I say I enjoyed it, I tolerated it" running gag, most episodes in Series 11 and 12 have that gag, and I think one or two from Series 13 do as well.
Well classic, in most people's vernacular means old-this was first recorded in 1934, and The Animal's version was released in 1964. To me though classic means it is a respected known song that has been around long enough and is both lyrically and vocally emotive and enjoyable. Thus, House of the Rising Sun, is a classic.
It's a classic sure but whether it still resonates to a teenager in the 2000s is another matter. Unless Kenzie seeks out classic music he wouldn't know it. It's not a song that was in the public consciousness in the 2000s for someone like him who was into urban music.
@@Scallion_D Someone who is in the music industry and releasing singles should know something of past music. Most musical genres lift directly or indirectly from past music. You can't really just record a song while knowing nothing of songs that have gone before. Even someone like me (who is never going to record a single) had the radio on in the house because my parents put it on so I know songs like House of the Rising Sun like that.
@@CA-ee1et I get he was in the music industry but he was in a boyband, he wasn't a serious musician. Once they broke up, he hasn't stayed in the music industry. Now if Alex Turner or Noel Gallagher etc. didn't know it, now that would be weird.
Even though I don't like using this word, Mark Lamarr was the best because he was so outstandingly 'cool!' Plus, he co-wrote the brilliant 15 Storey's high.
@Tweetmylife This song is House of the Rising Sun by the Animals. The Saints are Coming is a different song, different band, but they do kinda have a similar sound.
