Did you know, the Clash played this in court to prove there were records out there with more explicit language than in their "Bata Motel"; the jury laughed so hard the judge threatened to lock them all up for contempt of court! The Clash won their case.
I asked a Spanish DJ to play this at a nightclub in Tenerife in 1993. It kept playing for at least two minutes before someone realised what was going on and changed the record.
We went to Germany on an exchange trip playing football with our twin town in the 80's, we played this constantly at the rear of the coach for most of the the journey there and back. Parents/manger etc. at front of the coach hated it so much, we played it more and more.. still makes me laugh now thinking about it 🙂
I bought the 12 inch single with this Explicit banned version on it. I was only 13 at the time and was disgusted and ashamed that bought this filth. I took it back to the record shop and exchanged for a Madness record. Wish I kept it. It bloody poetry innit?
I too bought it new when I was 14: played it at home and my mum heard it and I got a swift whack across the head and it was confiscated. But decades later I found the original record after she died whilst clearing out the loft.
Oh yes i remember as a child me and my sister finding this and putting it on loud on the record player. Mainly to watch mum run out the kitchen flappin away shouting turn it off turn it off now the neighbours! 🤣
I couldn't stop pissing myself with laughter when I first heard this after 10pm on Sydney's 2JJJ FM..I knew they play it the following Saturday night and I rec it on a TDK D90 tape. I used to play it nice and loud (with my homies) drivin' past John the bullys house to piss him off!
The one time I managed to hear “The 12” Singles Show” on JJJ FM stereo from Newcastle, Tim Richie played this. Normally I’d have to wait until midnight for 2NC to switch over, so I would have missed it. I must find that cassette.

I collected 12"ers back in my youth. Never forget the look on my mothers face when i was too slow to put the headphone jack in the stereo as this began !
I bought this in Canada in the 80s. It was everywhere there. The funny part was there were no warnings on the label. I listened to Part III which was alright, and I had my stereo turned up rather loud. With the window open. As Part IV began. I RAN from the kitchen to turn it down! Still love it though. Why can't Bieber record stuff like this, eh?
Classic tune. I have it on a 12" single (remember them??) in a cardboard box in my garage. Must be worth a quid or two. Mind you, I ain't about to sell it !!
That has to be the whole point back then he had no worries portraying the police as mussolini see the young ones the TV prevented him from being 100% ...."they put him in a special 'ospital"
The juxtaposed simplicity of the image with the elementary nature of the lyrical delivery is a minimalist interpretation of postmodern shit. Absolute Wonder
"Hello, whats the damage john mini cabs here. Now everybody is out at the moment but if youd like some hot money laundered please fuck off after the tone."
This sounds like the 7" version, because I got the 12" version from a record fare when I was about 12, and it's over 6 minutes long. Obviously the seller either had no idea what on the B side of that 12" single, or he was the best vendor in the history of mankind. :D
I can't help thinking that some of the controversialism and techno-breaks in this song were later ripped off by more commercially successful bands like Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Paul Hardcastle.
I suggest this could be a serious contender for a new National Anthem for our glorious UK.
I'm happy to leave it as the UKIP anthem.
Eurovision here we fucking come.
This comment has aged....too well
Agreed

Crass
Holy shit
It’s crass not the clash

I don't remember this episode in Crass' history or that LP.

Ha ha ha.
Brilliant!
This happened in a branch of Woolworths that I happened to be in at the time. It also played for a good few minutes before anyone realised!
Rappers: “I have more explicit language than anyone!”
Alexei Sayle: “Hold my beer”
I got this as a gift from my mother for getting some sort of badge at Cubs. She thought the warning sticker was a joke.
This is hilarious - the contrast of this record with Cubs of all things 🤣
I want this as my first dance at my wedding.
Yeah ! fuck the vicar !
Remember listening to this as a kid 😅. This should be our Eurovision entrant for next year
Still makes tears roll down my cheeks, close to the start of my 70th year on the planet. Balls to growing old gracefully.
Back in the days when songs had meaningful lyrics.

When I came back from the UK in 82, this album in my suitcase, it became my answering machine recording.....Great to hear it again.

Chris Lightfoot I'm 13 and my dad gave me the record at 10
Which Madness record? SLF or Bad Manners was better! ;-)
I too bought it new when I was 14: played it at home and my mum heard it and I got a swift whack across the head and it was confiscated. But decades later I found the original record after she died whilst clearing out the loft.
Not a bad trade though!

I think John needs to reconsider his social circle.
I went to the North once,...it was F*CKIN' CLOSED!!!! 🤣
This made me think life was worth living again
Can't beat a nice romantic tune.
I honestly have no idea why this was banned.
Same here great song. :)
It wasn't 'banned' though. You could buy it in Our Price records. It would be like saying restaurants banned the use of arsenic in seasonings.

tears in my eyes hahahaha not heared this until now lol

Did Ben Elton turn up to the studio just before he recorded this?
What a strange question.
Haaaa, great to hear it again. I got the 12inch still. Good to hear it's banned now. makes it all the more funny.
should be mandatory at all primary school assembly meetings...
Sheer poetry. Prose in it’s finest form.

Cause they a bunch of pussies.
I want this at my funeral. Shame I won't see their faces though.....😂
Call me a big kid, but, hilarious. I first heard this in a record shop in Hastings in 1982, inspired!
This is exactly what I say when I hit my thumb with a hammer! 😆😆😆
Quite possibly the best song ever written.
i'm glad you're joking.
Good clean family fun, just the way I like it =)
Anyone here from Kunt's shoutout in the autobiography?
Sure am
Hell yeah.
Yup!
Here from Kunt's Korona Klub

I haven't heard that since I was 14, made my day 😂
'Oh look it's Mr Sweary...' legend.
Classic tune. I have it on a 12" single (remember them??) in a cardboard box in my garage. Must be worth a quid or two. Mind you, I ain't about to sell it !!
SO good to hear this again! Here's Mr Sweary!
This needs to be the Brit entry in Eurovision 2022. !!
The "Mr Sweary" version. Classic!
Jamie Foreman listens to this. It helps him relax.
Heavily influenced by Cook and Moore's 'Derek & Clive' sketches methinks? Brilliant stuff! The UK in 2022
That has to be the most swearing i've ever heard in a single song.
That has to be the whole point back then he had no worries portraying the police as mussolini see the young ones the TV prevented him from being 100% ...."they put him in a special 'ospital"

Harry the Bastard?
I sold mine for a pound! Fuckin' pound! But i'm feeling your pain just the same.
As a child of cockney parents this is where me and my siblings learnt how to talk
I think we need a lyric sheet 🤣
'Hello Mr Sweary' they got that fucking right! Christ I was not expecting it, thinking it was more like Pt 3 ...no. Of course it fucking wasn't!
this is the funniest song i've ever heard! lmao
Ive just bought this eventually, its sitting waiting for me at the posties. Im so happy i cant wait! haha

This is like a parody of gangster rap, before gangster rap happened
RIP Fran! Hello Mr Sweary.. 😂
What does he say in the voicemail
I want to make it mine but I don't understand what he's saying
"Hello, whats the damage john mini cabs here. Now everybody is out at the moment but if youd like some hot money laundered please fuck off after the tone."
Good dancer too,majaw domo!!
I love his alliteration ...
I have never heared this by Alexi it is purly genious love this guys songs!!
It’s fakkin genius. Not what you fakkin wrote.

I'm sure Worzel Gummidge covered this version.
Postmodern brilliance, thanks for posting.
Still got this in the loft
Can someone put the exact lyrics up ?
Sounds just like my East End grandmother .
I'm crying!
JESUS FUCKING H CHRIST why ban such a well put together song
Cameron should come on stage to this next time he gives a speech to the Tory conference.
You weren't kiddin about the langauge..East End rools
I have this somewhere! Brilliant
hahahahaha Hilarious. This should be the new theme for Play School. :)
'...prick bollocks!'! 🤣🤣

F*cking Bl**dy Marvellous. Available for children's parties !
Fuck fuck fucking legendary.
Why is this not number one?
Kuki: Does anyone know who used this on the “Thick as an Ed” Edited Video? I know this song started at 0:17 and junk.
Isn't this the "Mr. Sweary" version? :D
It's got a great bass line on it. Anyone know any good tutorials?
Yeh, my Public Administration tutorials at uni. Got plenty of shut eye.
Awesome, been looking for this! Cheers!
Why do I listen late at night?
Anyone trying to learn English, start with this.
