Was one of greatest jools shows ever the divine comedy, blondie, massive attack, roddy frame, ronnie spector all unique in their own way i love them all amazing i love this song neil hannon is lovely to watch a normal lad no frills just the man himself a band and great song.
I've just remembered that i was watching it with my then gf (maybe 10 years after it was broadcast) and she really dug it . Straight after was the bit of TGI Friday with Napalm Death ....the look on her face was priceless 🤣🤣🤣
Ah those salad days, I remember them well, or at least I think I do! Time has moved on. Somehow or other,back in the eighties I think, the coach market had opened up and all of a sudden we had the option of travelling not in the clapped out wheezing old bangers National Express coaxed in to life to struggle us between destinations but Gleaming six wheeled luxury behemoths like Trathens fleet of Neo plan, Mercedes Benz beauties topped off with TV and very attractive, attentive waitresses- I actually looked forward to my coach trip- It wasn't to last. I will write a bit more later!

This should be played at Glastonbury, a real crowd pleaser😜😉😂❤
Neil Hannon is such a likeable guy and a joy to listen to.
😂❤
@Graham Smith
and very talented..
What a massively huge voice from such a small man.
Classic song, very much in the 60s genre. I just love this type of music.
60s? It's in like 40s swing style
Yes, Lennon would have dug this.
@bigkuriboh3814 is this a joke? It's 1960's inspired more than perhaps any other song ever.
I absolutely love The Divine Comedy! National Express is the icing on the cake! 👍🏻❤️🚎

@@jimmytgoose476 thanks for the reply i loved TGI friday was some cracking groups on there too.
Not in the least of which were Napalm Death 💀🤘😃
Absolutely brilliant!!! Such a great performance by Neil and the band. Pure class!! 🎉
Fantastic Tune ❤️ 23 yrs later 🙏
`Absolutely Stephen, reminds me of back in the day when we used to go out on the old bonky's!
i have heard this song a few times, but never realised how brilliant it is.
Neil treats his performance as if it's the Palladium in 1965. Nice bow at the end.
Jewel of a song
One of his best. One of THE best.
Luv this song.
Absolutely brilliant
I recall the days when you could purchased drinks and sandwiches on the National Express coaches happy days !!!
Paul Vella. Indeed! I have such fond memories of being on the National Express. 🙂🙂
Just love this song 👍
What a song! :)
Fucking classic song.
Yeye
just going to learn this on ukulele. great tune 👏 !!!
Masterpiece
Sound engineer should have got a telling off for setting his mic so quiet.
It all sounds muted 👎🏻
So agree
I remember seeing this and the sound was much better on the broadcast version, so maybe it’s the upload that’s the issue.
He got the the first verse muddled up bless him!
Did he? Please explain?
MARK KELLY the last two lines of the first verse are meant to be the other way round
It's his song, he decides how to sing it. He can't get it wrong. He just chooses to change it around to keep you on your toes.
Yeah but still great
Actually, I'm not convinced he did. It actually makes more sense.
Brilliant
Neil Hannon .... diamond geezer
Tune
So little views, what's wrong with people. A perfect vocal 👌 and lice performance
Cleaver song
Like the knife?
Superbe.
It's also superb
Good

When music was good
It's still good you lazy bastard, just go and look around for it elsewhere than mainstream radio.
It still is . Try looking for it .
Twenty five years ago seems like the years have been on the national express 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎💕💕💕🇬🇧💕🥸🏴🤪🤓🤓🤪🤓❤️❤️👌👌👌🤡✌️
I agree with Neil haha
Up fermanagh
Classic input
His vocal mic is too quiet and the lead guitar also needs upping. Still amazing. I hope it wasn't that way for the live crowd.
IT'S A BUS!
nope.
Coach
it is him voice really :)
my dad is genuinely pinkie bates
Damn and you listen to kpop that's sad
Soo fucking blime!!

Brilliant.
Jarvis Cocker must be gazing at his iron over not being this funny. Half Man Half Man Half Biscuit must be shaking their heads.

Egbert is shandy
Boris bus driver scheme
It's a bus
This is the reason Mike flowers quit the music industry!
Klimpt Eastwood
He mixed up two lines in the first verse
This song is the only good bit about National Express 😃
He looks like a supermarionation puppet - very 60s
He's to quite
Makes a great karaoke song. Go try it
It's a bus
