The Nips - Gabrielle

The Nips classic single Gabrielle.

[@72chickensoup]

RIP Shane McGowan. A genius, a legend and a poet that will never be seen again. Heart goes out to his loved ones, Victoria the measure of his dreams, his Father and sister and the rest of his family. Sad day.

[@thedoorsofperception2001]

Been listening to this none stop for the past 9 hours after hearing of shanes passing, love this tune... some of the best stuff he did (unpopular opinion)

[@seanogorman3617]

Loving listening to the Nips for days now. Love you Shane ya legend

[@TheAythia]

Just heard this song for the first time, have now listened to it 5 times in a row.

[@dlminflorida9406]

I am 60 and just found them this Christmas season. Love the Nips/Pogues

[@richiec9077]

Stuck with me first time I heard it too, reminds me of my brother

[@RnREnglands]

Tears in my Guinness listening to this legend ..RIP

[@DerekLyons]

MY OLD FRIEND SHANE! I took the original photos of this band which was called THE NIPPLE ERECTORS ! All true!

[@v.mvarga4979]

Derek Lyons Lmao

[@robbiemontgomery581]

Great story x

[@gerardreilly4693]

Great info Derek, such a lucky guy, I adore Shane, met him once in Glasgow beck in 1990. LEGEND

[@gerardreilly4693]

Derek Lyons hi derek, don’t suppose you have any old pics is Shane ? Happy to pay

[@rioter1977]

He will always be the king of the bop !!!

[@m9641]

Timeline: This song was released in November of 1979 on Soho Records. "Shake It Up" by The Cars was released in November of 1981 and became one of their most popular songs: #4 peaking on the Billboard Hot 100/#2 on Billboard Top 200. The blatancy of this plagiarism is enough to make Led Zeppelin blush. I've always wondered why this is never mentioned [even here] nor why it was never pursued legally by MacGowan.

[@jasminaogrady7470]

I guess, Shane MacGowan wasn't a type of guy to go around suing people!

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

To me, this sounds very much like the very great Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Birds, The Cars with the vocals a lot like the might Willy DeVille also like Elvis, I mean Elvis Costello, Shane put that that in your pipe and smoke if you do not agree with those facts, still a great rocking song from the future master poet,/wordsmith, songwriter, singer. frontman and a friend to all Mr Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan

[@colddaze6680]

It surely does. Then they did undeniable punk rock classics like 'so pissed off' and ' stupid cow' . Johnny Moped did 'hard loving man''. Also 'darling let's have another baby'.Punk was bit more variable back then I suppose

[@punkaroos123]

Lol. As much as I love The Cars, they were a litigious bunch. There was a local new wave band in South Florida in the early 80’s that had an awesome song called “Shake It Up”, and The Cars actually sued them over rights to the name. The first time I heard this, I wanted to punch Ric Ocasek.

[@anchorface9671]

RIP Shane MacGowan you utter legend

[@tigglepig]

A romantic punk classic ! LOL great track, about 40 years old now ... where did the time go ?

[@mod69]

the first sign of things to come from the great Shane Macgowan

[@gabrieleseerre2321]

I'm here bc Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and I love this!

[@holydigital]

It really sounds like Elvis Costello, but better. Also reminds me of The Cars' 'My Best Friend's Girl'. Love it !

[@nickarth669]

The opening sounds like Wild Thing by the Troggs.

[@mvviral_]

I wish I would be born in that Century so I could have lived the whole Punk Scene from the Start, and listen to the good Music. I would love to listen to Shane MacGowan and the Pogues or The Nips Live... Man im born in the wrong time

[@notreallydavid]

On the other hand, you managed to miss peak Light Ent noncedom, the tail end of Love Thy Neighbour, 'Watch your backs, lads!', and everybody bloody smoking bloody everywhere. Odd, interstitial, mixed-bag sort of era, with more than its share of tack and shod.

[@Tuffdog007]

And you are not at all alone with this! Right with you.

[@MarkElliott-q2v]

Rest in peace Shane you legend

Great stuff. Shanne Bradley is a very good bass player. It's funny to hear yet another variation of the "Sweet Jane" riff.

Let's go into the old West End Where we used to go when you were my girlfriend Take a seven and breeze through the city With you sitting there, looking so pretty I'd take you where you could shake it down, now To the rocking part of town A shake it up A shake it up A shake it up A shake it up A shake it up Gab-Gab-Gab-Gabrielle A shake it up Gab-Gab-Gab-Gabrielle A shake it up Gab-Gab-Gab-Gabrielle A shake it up Gab-Gab-Gab-Gabrielle Let's go into the old West End Where we used to go when you were my girlfriend Take a seven and breeze through the city With you sitting there, looking so pretty And though you'd never want to stay that way I can still remember those crazy days We'd dance all night and sleep all day In the old West End everybody was dancing Dancing And though you'd never want to stay that way I can still remember those crazy days We'd dance all night and sleep all day In the old West End everybody was dancing Dancing Do you remember?

Who’s singing this tune, is it Shane?

[@andrewpaulshaw]

Yes it's Shane singing.

[@Brokenkingpins]

Thank god pop music was not the true calling.

Grinny from Skrewdriver was in their line up at one stage.

[@paddymac5161]

Richard Hughes before he was a Nazi?

[@richard280570]

Paddy Mac Yes. He was in the 1977 apolitical line up. Sadly, he did become a Nazi later on.

[@gregm.9061]

He plays drums on this single.

[@godfrey_of_america]

Where did all the pictures come from?

[@Bengiskahn]

Very Clash. Punk for the slightly out of tune guitar. Cutting his teeth songwriting, both the teeth and songwriting went on from here! One wonders if there was a relationship betwixt the two, one downward t'other upward!! Great tune with memories attached.

[@sarahgale9238]

Lost a bit of hope when Shane got his teeth done. 🖖🌱

[@elijahwashingtonwashington4800]

lol

[@Slapchop8]

you can almost forget the awesome "fuck all" character he was.......if you stare too long into the shell of a man he is now....sad really.

We all become a shell of ourselves when we get old brother.

never knew that Shane had a Mod phase! I miss Christy (RIP)

Yeah I'm a Yank so I'm not supposed to understand, but man mods are gay. Ride a dirt bike not a toy scooter. & Fuck your fancy clothes & stupid bowl cut hair. Looks like a miserable time

He never did

[@Cloughjordan23]

He was well into northern soul, it was what made him gel with Paul Weller in those early days.
