I am nearly 60 and totally agree. I once endured a whole Saturday with my ex wifes best mate as her chaperone to Finsbury Park. She wanted to see Madness, I told to f. off and then she said Ian Dury was playing support. I had to go. Ian was in his sailor suit and stole the show obviously
No. There's no man like Bach anymore, either. And I'm sure there are people like Ian Dury around, but not in the mainstream scene. That's been ruined by money, as so many things are. I'm from '63, people will continue to make and create music.
@@smugsheep3307 I don't think anyone sweats like him anymore either. Imagine if James Brown, Meatloaf, and Ian went on tour together? People would drown.
I have really great memories of Ian, I was the assistant sound and light engineer at the Top Rank Birmingham in 1979, they were a great live band. It was great working with them. Happy Memories and great times. We were free in those days proper free.
the most life affirming song... helps me in my depressed phases. This wonderful intelligent man and his lust for life will never cease to be an inspiration to me.
I (at the time a Dutch tourist in London) saw Ian Dury and his band when I was young and green, some time early in the '80s. My friend and I liked his hit record 'Hit me with your Rhythm Stick', so we bought the tickets. The venue - I can't quite remember what the name was, might have been a cinema, red seats - but it didn't take the band long to get the spectators standing on top of these seats, jumping up and down, moving to the music. Great experience, great time, great band. An unforgettable landmark.
Ian Drury Never not awesome! Life passed him *a BIG ol' pile of lemons* - and 50 years later, we're ALL still enjoying his delicious sweet lemon-based beverages! \😸/
The Blockheads were one of the truly brilliant and sadly underappreciated bands. They had that great tight-as-a-duck's-arse but still loose quality that can't be faked or learned. You can either play like that or you can't. Norman and Charley were one of the greatest rhythm sections ever. Period.
@@allertonoff4 chaz jankel on guitar. Norman Watt Roy on bass. Chaz left and was replaced by Wilko Johnson. Saw Wilko and Norman playing together at Queens Hall Edinburgh 2019 with @mark Robinson.
@@banditman62davis He was left partially paralyzed by the effects of contracting Parkinson's Disease at an early age. Although some of the paralysis went away over time, the muscle damage became permanent. His passion for performing is what made him an over-achiever and his denial that he was disabled. He wouldn't accept that label.
Ian Dury is the best reason to be proud of being British. He was the original rapper before rap was a "thing." What a talent, shame he is no longer with us.
Not really, I love Ian but by 1979 hip hop had already taken off in the New York underground. Like many of Ian's songs this was influenced by funk and disco, which also were essential to the rap music being developed overseas.
@@patriciofernandez2711 A kind of rap - music plus rap was made popular by The Liverpool Scene in the 60's and 70's in Liverpool and of course by your own Beat poets before then.
Ian Dury ... The BEST FRONTMAN IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK N ROLL !!! And what a band . Signed : PROUD to be BLOCKHEAD !!! And ...You're all BLOCKHEADS TOO !!!
In my personal opinion this Gentlemen were a bloody genius weren't you Ian? But also what a brilliant Saxophone Player my favourite instrument stay safe everyone Pompey Trucker Tex ✴️🌙✴️🌙play up Pompey!!!.
The guy wasa fighter for the downtrodden and those who get a rough deal in life. The ability to make songs that either take the piss or make us look at ourselves and think was his gift. Onya Ian you will be missed!!!
@@MrRyan-wu4jx There's actually an Italian guy who did it way back in 73. It was an answer on QI, I forget his name, sorry. Edit It's Adriano Celentano, thanks to @markrothwell6001 for the name.
Way ahead of his time, I went to see the Who in 1974/75 and Kilburn and the Highroads were supporting, punk rock 2-3 years before Malcolm McLaren 'invented it'. (the Who fans hated it!)
Way back before all the new misogynistic. criminal Gangsta Rap... We had Ian Dury & the Blockheads. Funked up, eccentric feel-good & in yer face. Bloody beautiful!
When I was a 19 yr old kid, just learning who I was in the world, this was the fun track to my life....in fact, all their hits. I knew they made me feel great but I never thought beyond it. Life was just to packed with new adventures to think about it. Now, 45 yrs or thereabouts, later, I am listening to the Blockheads again and wow, how did I not notice the musicianship from all these guys? Well done Ian and all the Blockheads, you really did enrich so many peoples lives. Thanks.
True originals. Ian Dury was a proper poet and the Blockheads are one of the tightest backing bands in the history of history. Unfortunately it's getting harder and harder these days to answer why we don't all just get back into bed. At least there's still Ian Dury and the Blockheads videos to keep us going.
I’m originally from Watford but worked on a holiday camp in the 70s, Warner’s in Seaton Devon. I remember people all singing this song, loved Ian Dury.
I am sure that Prince was a big fan of The Blokheads ever, this sax solo is pure style of what Prince wanted in some breaks sessions, and at last but not least this musical diction of Ian inspired him . Love these two genius of the po music.
The man is one of my favourite heroes this is one of my favourite songs of his what a beautiful classic song rip Ian still love you from 1979 god bless you ❤ ❤❤
This came into my brain this afternoon, and I haven't heard this song probably for nearly 30 years. I'd forgotten how strongly dance-oriented it was. It's really good, especially the end. Not being British, I never understood most of the lyrics and still don't, but that's OK because all you need to hear and understand is "Reasons to be cheerful - 1, 2, 3."
This song came into my head last nite. It's 12th July 2020 now, with Covid19 rife around the world. I grew up with this music. My brother Barry, was always the first on the scene when new music came out..Talking Heads, U2, Bauhaus, American Funk, etc. He bought all the latest records and this album was one. It was never off the turntable and we knew all the songs. Singing and dancing around the house. Top of the Pops was our programme! Yes the 70s and 80s were the best years of our lives ..just didnt know it. I'm in Victoria, Australia now and hope that we all stay safe and that I get to see my family again in the UK.
20 years ago today we lost the legend, the genius Ian Dury. I was very fortunate to see him perform live in 1999. Im now listening to his son Baxter Dury and he is just as fantastic as his dad. RIP Ian & long live Baxter
ian dury was not only a character.. but, he was a brilliant performer, writer, & wordsmith. mind you, this video really 'only' consisted of ian, several bandmates, & a black screen. still, it is infectious. & even, within it's own boundaries. though, orig., very ahead of it's time.. always timeless. when, music 'was' music!!
Weird reading your comment this morning. And heartening. The reason I chose to listen to this song this morning is that I have a dear friend going thru a very difficult time in the acute phase following brain surgery, and then a stroke, which has nearly paralyzed his left side and much more. He has a long way back to recovery, health and walking again. He's a young 53. You do have reasons to be cheerful, almost all of us do, and it's so cool you know it. Thanks for the attitude and inspiration.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE HAD TO OVERCOME THOSE OBSTACLES , WE STILL LOVED HIS MUSIC .I WOULD SNEAK THIS TUNE INTO THE MIX WHEN I D.J.'D AT WEST INDIAN CLUBS , AND THEY LOVED IT . AND TO THOSE WHO COMMENTED ABOUT IF I SPEAK ENGLISH , YES I DO .
Cheddar cheese and pickle SLAP AND TICKLE!!! I recall a DJ--either Garth or Jeno--playing this as the "last" last song well after the lights had gone on. It was at this monthly club night called Community at a club called 1015 Folsom put on by the boys of Wicked soundsystem on a Tuesday night. They were famous for throwing in an "oldie" not from the house or techno genre as a last song; my other fave was Bill Withers "Use Me". Anyhoo, this track sent people who had already been up dancing since the previous Thursday into spasms of utter rapture. People were losing their minds to this track; pure genius. Great memories of the still *very* underground house/techno/rave scene in the San Francisco of 1989 - 1992 or so.
Iam now 60..This was All Part of Growing Up..F*****G LOVE IT ❤ 😍

@bill Bloggs I didnt know they were disabled.
@bill Bloggs In the USA we never saw Ian interviewed on TV, or in person, so the extent of his polio-caused infirmity wasn't really obvious or known.
WHAT WAS HIS DISABILITY ?
