Unfortunately there's only the one video showing here for now, everything else has had a copyright claim, even though the same videos can be found elsewhere on RUclips..
The VERY charming lyrics, in case anyone is interested. "I don't want to be in your world, I don't want to be a part of your world. Mr Wells, you're a twat, You're a fat, old twat. Mr Wells, you're such a twat, You fat old twat. Mr Wells; you fat, old, boring wanker, The way you click your fingers out of time. Mr Wells, your dress sense is appalling, Your cowboy shirt, your stupid ponytail. The way you shake your head, That look upon your face; Like a monkey jerking off. MR WELLS! Stick your record company up your arse! You're a shithead, you're a wanker, You're a tosser, you're a twat, And your wife is a sad old bag. Kill yourself! (Kill yourself) Why don't you kill yourself? Mr Wells. Mr Wells."
I'm pleased that someone commented on this because it shows that the video is visible to people, I got a copyright strike on this as soon as I uploaded (the vague title doesn't make any difference) and assumed that only I could see it. Father Ted stuff in general doesn't last long on RUclips unless the video or sound are so distorted that it evades RUclips's filter. I like the sound effects during the revealing of the cards here, very effective..
Thank you so much for posting this, one of my absolute favourites from TFS. Popped into my head the other day and I wanted to see it again. Genius! Phillip Pope is the brains behind the music on TFS, did a superb job on this one.
@@misteral1083 Hey, I came up with a theory about washing up and being reminded of "Mr. Wells". "Mr. Wells" sounds a bit like "Some Might Say", which has the lyrics "The sink is full of fishes, she's got _dirty dishes_ on the brain." Maybe, maybe not! 😀
@@d2vmusic Hahaha! Not for me personally, because I wasn't into Oasis. But for some people, that might well hold up! I suspect there's some kind of trigger (for me) associated with "THAT'S the single!", which then kick starts the whole thing. Can't remember what led to me thinking that the other night, but I think that's the start of it. BTW, checked your channel - loved that piece you did on the 303. Very very cool. Straightforward and sparse, but with attention paid in all the right areas which makes it engaging. You should upload more! (don't bother checking my account, this is my secondary one with essentially no uploads! Music is on the other one!!!)
If you mean why can't they be found on the usual 'tab' sites, it's probably because it's not regarded as a serious song. It sounds fairly simple though so I might have a go at working them out. I've got a bit lazy at this because I usually go to those tab sites too.
So far for the vocal part I've got: I don't want to be in your world, I don't want to be a E.................................................................................... Part of your world, Mr Wells you're a twat you're a fat old twat, Mr Wells you're such a D.................. A.......................................................................E..............F#min................... Twat you fat old Twa-a-a-a-a-t A..........................E................... The next part goes from E to A, but I haven't got any further yet. Hope this text formats ok for you..
My first instinct is to provide these. I've noticed that on many music videos some commenters feel an urge to type them out. I can understand this if they are unclear but , to me at least, they seem pretty clear in this song. Additionally, it would feel to me like over-analysing comedy, which goes against the grain. If someone want to type them out then I reckon its a three-minute job maximum, I'll stick with "That's the single!" though..
Don't know, but I would think that many bands are on the outs with their managers at some point. Mr Wells doesn't strike me as a band manager though, but a music company executive, hence him being really out of touch..
A particular song from an upcoming album would be released as a single, so there's a double joke here (pretty good for a three word phrase) - not only is the song an insult to him, but he wants to promote that very song.
Out of all the songs on an upcoming album, one (or maybe more) would usually be released as a single in order to promote it. This worked for some styles of music more than others, and non-pop bands such as Pink Floyd for instance, would struggle - I recall 'Another Brick In The Wall' being a bit of a stretch, but it did quite well, other examples might be Hawkwind and Silver Machine, Black Sabbath and Paranoid, even Focus did quite well with Hocus Pocus. This sketch is very neat in that the 'punchline' is the _only_ line..
Record exec out of touch with the music, pushing it cos it sells but doesn't get it at all. In this sketch the music is overtly singling him out pejoratively and he still doesn't get it. Its like saying labels don't care about the music, they only care if it makes money.
Something that struck me after watching it many times only for the music and humour, is that the camerawork is pretty creative too, especially in such a short sketch.
I remember it well!The first band on was thrusk then Smoke stacksman provided the token jazz break then Colon then this lot! They ended the set with this and everyone went mental!!!!
Hard to believe the flute player would later go on to reinvent himself as frontman of prog giants Thotch.
So is this a parody of Oasis as I always thought, or Stone Roses? Or a mixture? 🤔
I always thought Oasis, but it could be said to be leaning into that scene in general.
This Oasis pastiche is a masterpiece
‘You are so too meant to take it seriously’
Brilliant bestcomedyevet
Whitehouse faces kills me . totally emotionless all the way thru. just sat smoking, not arsed. proper 90s liam
Quite a banging tune tbf
That’s gold
"Cross my hand with silver...gimme a pound!"
They're good, but they are no Colon.
People say dermots demise was messing with the occult
I'm also here. Always made me laugh "there's supposed to be one in every pack!!!".
Oasis in a nutshell

Mr Wells. Mr Wells."
This never gets old. Brilliant!!
It's perfect. They captured the band and the eyes of the guys well. That's the single! I need to revive that
Still makes me giggle years later.

Probably the best sketch they ever did!
I love this sketch. It has me in stitches.
Best thing I've heard for past 20 years . Whitehouse the master as usual .
Phillip Pope deserves the credit for this one I think
Washing dishes tonight and for some reason this came into my mind. I haven't forgotten the lyrics, either. Thanks for uploading, it's a classic! 😊
Wow, that was me yesterday! Literally, washing dishes, no reason, popped in, still know it!!! edit - next one for me now is Jeremy Kwee....

Looks like the record label guy from Wayne’s world
Why aren’t there chords to this 💀

Absolute genius
Lyrics anyone? 😁

This sounds a bit like a combination of The Wonder Stuff, Oasis and The Beatles haha.
Its perfect. Perfect and I love it.
Why have I never seen this before..... it's a chooooon
Anyone else think think this is inspired by the Stone Roses? They had a that for a manager and they hated him.
Don't know, but I would think that many bands are on the outs with their managers at some point. Mr Wells doesn't strike me as a band manager though, but a music company executive, hence him being really out of touch..
I think it's probably more like Oasis given the time of the scetch.
@@alderaanic1042 Yeah, definitely Oasis, I think the casual 'fuck you' attitude of the members here is based on Noel and Liam's public appearances.
@@jakell99 spot on exactly what I thought. Hair cuts and cloths give it away too. Deffo not The Stone Roses.
Frankly, Mr Shankly was my guess. Morrissey at his cruelest. Good tune though.
I still regularly say "That's the Single" whenever I hear a good song for the first time...
Me too mate
In that exact voice?
The lyrics ARE about the record company guy sitting at the desk, aren't they? The joke being that Mr Wells says, "THAT'S the single!"?
A particular song from an upcoming album would be released as a single, so there's a double joke here (pretty good for a three word phrase) - not only is the song an insult to him, but he wants to promote that very song.
The band Colon could have been 😁
Maybe even a little bigger..
@@jakell99 Megacolon!
Brilliant!
So well done and obviously studied. Lol. Paul and Charlie used to be in a band together.
The camerawork is really good too, something I didn't really notice at first..
@@jakell99 yes it's that whole Live Forever thing!
I would actually rather listen to this than the shit that occupies the charts these days
If this gets taken down then it will probably Mr Wells himself who will claim copyright
Can't believe this only has 28k views! Better than 90% of the stuff in the charts
Tape deck!
Genius x
Love this sketch, but to this day I’ve never never understood the “that’s the single!” punchline at the end from Mr Wells.
Out of all the songs on an upcoming album, one (or maybe more) would usually be released as a single in order to promote it. This worked for some styles of music more than others, and non-pop bands such as Pink Floyd for instance, would struggle - I recall 'Another Brick In The Wall' being a bit of a stretch, but it did quite well, other examples might be Hawkwind and Silver Machine, Black Sabbath and Paranoid, even Focus did quite well with Hocus Pocus. This sketch is very neat in that the 'punchline' is the _only_ line..
@@jakell99 perfectly answered, cheers 👍
Record exec out of touch with the music, pushing it cos it sells but doesn't get it at all. In this sketch the music is overtly singling him out pejoratively and he still doesn't get it. Its like saying labels don't care about the music, they only care if it makes money.
He's like 'that's the single' and it's like, 'did you even listen to the song mate?'
5 thumbs down from Mr Wells who still to this day says he has the rights and royalties for this song
Genius! Never gets old!
I've been looking for this sketch for bloody ages and randomly stumbled upon it today! It's every bit as amazing as I remember 😁
Something that struck me after watching it many times only for the music and humour, is that the camerawork is pretty creative too, especially in such a short sketch.
This will have been written by Philip Pope. He did the music for Proactive on Game On too, and a lot of the musical parodies on NTNOCN.
Always in the market for a new piece of trivia - thankyou..
Philip Pope is a comedy genius. His music parodies are spot on, especially his work on Radio Active.

When hes saying hes clicking his fingers out of time hes actually in time.
Nice
Great stuff!
It is actually quite a banging tune tbh
They played it when they were supporting Colon on tour in 1997. Crowd lost their mind when Clam came out to play bass.
I remember it well!The first band on was thrusk then Smoke stacksman provided the token jazz break then Colon then this lot! They ended the set with this and everyone went mental!!!!
I've been jamming along to it myself on guitar. Great bit of music! :)
@@daverage4729 what chords do you play ? It sounds dissonant lol
Frankly Mr Shankly taken to its logical conclusion
