- Loudon Wainwright on prime time British TV, national BBC 1, 9pm, the Jasper Carrott show in the winter of 1986. For eight weeks, Loudon guested on the comedian's show and sang one song, sometimes written to order for what was news that week.
The eight songs were -
1) Surfer Queen - (unrecorded)
2) Talkin' President (about Ronald Reagan) (unrecorded)
3) You don't Wanna Know (about the cold weather)
4) Superbowl Sunday (unrecorded)
5) Nocturnal Stumblebutt
6) Unrequited to the Nth Degree
7) IDTTYWLM (I don't think that your wife likes me)
8) Harry's Wall (wry song about the 'fame' from being on the show)

I was and am a huge Loudo fan. I kept a special VHS tape and set it up and recorded all his songs from this show. I treasured it for many years until one of the kids taped over it.
Now I can relive them all in you tube. Also got to see him live on 5 occasions. Most underrated singer songwriter of my generation. Still that keeps his ticket price down.😀
I am SO pleased for this comment. I have all the eight songs, so must post more of them, not sure how many I have up there. I was from Belfast but never taped them live, was out in bars like Robinson on Sat Nites lol. But someone on the Loudon network gave me them later.
homelessbrother . I’ll look forward to that. I have about 12 LW111 albums and now listen to all of his stuff on Spotify. I’m from Belfast too and got to see him last year when he did a concert in town.
I liked old Loudo better than I liked Jasper. even though it cost me a long time to work out Loudon's name. I'm still buying CDs from the whole Wainwright-McGarrigle clan.
Thanks for posting this trip down memory lane
Loudon Wainwright is the Larry David of folk music.
Or the Steve Martin, with his body language?
This is one of the few things on RUclips that makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it. (And, sadly, I could dedicate it to a few of my friends.)
Every once in a while, he almost looks like a Happy Days era Ron Howard...
The reactions of "Sue" were awesome!
I'd never heard this song. Classic Loudon. The real question - are any of these George's and Susan's still together?
I'd read that Loudon would sometimes vanish to London. For months, years? Drinking and carousing. He was never much of a family man. I suspect the guy next to him at the bar was his real family?
Just dumb
