Bill Bailey - Cockney Rock

Bill Bailey, Cosmic Jam, The greatest cockney rock album in the world ever.

[@zeynep1812]

He had a girl's name! This never fails, in my top ten. I can't sing any of these songs now without saying "have a banana!"

[@michaelh2541]

Cockney bela lugosi . What an absolute farkin legend 👏 🙌

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

Bill says he has a girl's name but it's actually pronounced bay-lah, apparently.

[@Chris84409]

Don't listen to the original version by Bauhaus. Unless you are a committed Goth, you will lose the will to live.

[@TWX1138]

@@Chris84409 I always struggled with setting the speed of the turntable correctly on the first go, since the first minute is nothing but percussion.

[@patriciathewisher2315]

Lots of good pubs on the Old Kent Road…..

[@OsofoGriot]

I LOVE how Bill barely keeps it together through this! He almost cracks up about 5 times, shows he's properly enjoying himself

[@simplesimonhadapie]

This is such a fun show as he hadn't quite got there as a smooth performer and the cracks are great

[@CMDR_Verm]

The more I see of Bill Bailey and the amount of talent this man has just takes my breath away.

[@simont936]

Bill Bailey parodying Billy Bragg on "Rock and Roll Chip Shop" is the best.

[@simplesimonhadapie]

For me the BBC news theme on part troll was just so perfect. I had it on in the backround playing football manager with my brother who wondered why the news theme was so extended

[@sparklejuice]

I'll forever be stuck with a mental image of a ghost knocking on the windowpane and asking for a cup of tea, thanks to BB's take on Wuthering Heights 😂

[@patriciathewisher2315]

Love the reference to Wuthering Heights especially today 30/7

"..I've thought of all them rotten things you done and how you stitched me up..." god damn it I was eating now I've sprayed it all over my keyboard hahahahaha he is GOLD

I want to hear the greatest cockney metal album in the world ever from bill bailey

[@cphaza]

This man has been very funny for a long time now. Thats no easy thing to do.

[@JHA854]

I feel like he's been around forever and been funny the whole time but still criminally underrated.

[@andrewwalker1410]

He was genius back at this time. He is average at best nowadays, in my opinion. Inconsistent, very frustrating. Saw him live a few years back, very disappointing

[@MsMesem]

@@andrewwalker1410 Black Books was awesome.

[@Fly666]

I'd totally buy that album.

I'd buy that for a dollar

Yes he really is. Made me laugh more times than anyone else

Remember when this first aired. Taped it and showed it to everyone, was obsessed

[@plasticbudgie]

Holy cockney! An Ultravox reference! this guy is the best!

[@gardenkk243]

This is just my favourite thing lately!! I've watched it so many times and still makes me proper laugh! The little dance moves...you can really see the strictly champion potential there!

[@DerHerrMitR]

I never thought I'd use this sentence in any context at all ever in my life, but: Back then, he had a full set of hair.

[@La_sagne]

Xam271 he still does.. the forehead just got even bigger

[@blackie75]

wtf, he's half bald

[@zapkvr]

[@BunnaySango]

Cosmic Jam has got to be my favorite DVD, Cockney music had me in stitches XD

[@simplesimonhadapie]

Between this and part troll I am not sure but all his shows are worth watching and his musical mind is brilliant.

[@beckyenglish4783]

Reminds me a bit of Wild Al Yonchovich’s polka covers.

[@Hellwyck]

Is he Weird Al Yankovich's partying hard brother?

[@MythicSuns]

@@Hellwyck Nah, that's Wankered Al Yankovich. Wild Al Yankovich is the one who does parodies of animals.

[@hoss1962]

That - me ol' mucker is an excellent analogy....Good 'un!

[@anmaree]

@FluffyLizards I think there's just something inherently funny about Cockney music, sing anything in that style (especially something that started out with a serious tone) and it becomes funnier. I think it's also a bit of a homage to Cockney rockers Chas 'n' Dave.

[@PPURS]

good bit of cockney jovial singing. love it
