Bad News - Warriors of Genghis Khan/Video Shoot

[@johnutter9483]

Can’t help thinking of the young ones and the impact that had on me. British humor was in a class of its own. I thank god I was young when it all happened. Thanks all of you over the pond.

[@luisdelvalle1965]

How is it at all possible that this song/video has less than 10K views. That's sacrilegious, especially with those lyrics. You'll never forget them, that's for sure!

Ade Edmondson's singing voice sounds like a younger, shy version of Lemmy, just starting his first band.

[@ZeroBudgetFilmSchool]

I still hear Vyvyan

[@junestrickland1478]

My brother actually bleached his hair one year and I nearly choked when I saw Vim Fuego..😂. It was a mirror image of my brother..even my hubby couldn't stop laughing 😅😅😅😅

[@ArzHole]

As a metal head back in the 80s I can categorically state that Bad News was more true to life (embarrassingly) and funnier than Spinal Tap ever was...

[@mike196212]

Love SPINAL TAP but these guys are even funnier. I agree.

[@dilligaf1009]

Facts. What good times the 80s were

[@clitering]

This is up there as some of the best work, if not the best work, that my comedy heroes ever produced. What a difference Peter Richardson makes. They are at the peak of their powers

[@MetalDrummer_666]

Bang on, Sir. I have been in bands with members who mirror these characters, which makes this even funnier.

[@Max_Flashheart]

@@mike196212 both happened at the same time but Spinal tap released just before this dammit

[@s3any1977]

'Burning, looting, rapeing and a shooting'. Genius. Even Slayer couldnt write lyrics that good 😂 Its actually a catchy song. I like that they're all dressed like Motorhead.

sounds like some rappers would do

[@michaelstevenson470]

Whose still listening to this clasic in 2042? No auto tune, no lip sinking. Just puer tallent! My Uncle Reg loves this song - I sang it at his funeral! Well I did until Aunt Cheryl broke my jaw.

[@Fcutdlady]

You've gone a bit into the future!

[@keithingram4348]

Fantastic stuff- the original episode pre-dated Spinal Tap and many of the scenes are just as good if not better. The above "video" with the interview cut in is genius

[@billschwenke790]

Spinal Tap origins late 1970s I believe and the film didn't take off instantly, it was a Slow Burn but they made it to SNL and I saw that thankfully, Big Bottom and Christmas with the Devil, I think it was May of 1984

[@junestrickland1478]

When my husband showed me the com8c strip presents, team, I could not stop laughing. I remember when they played @ Castle Donnington. 😅😅😅😅

[@phillipwallace7211]

We were metal heads in the mid 80's and we used to drink lots of 'cheap' beer, smoke as much 'expensive' dope as we could afford and laugh our bollox of at Bad news. Great days and a great song. Brings back many 'not' guilty memories.

Got reminded by a friend of this gem. The song itself is actually not half bad. Compared to the utter shite we are constantly fed today this is really refreshing. P.s. I'm old😂

[@johnhoglund2171]

Best metal band ever perhaps

[@Forserean]

Yeah, that's the bits I like.

[@MB-oc1nw]

The directors thick Scottish accent makes it even funnier for some reason..

Nothing funnier than angry Scots accent, ask Peter Capaldi

@@katoness spinal tap is a lot more subtle. You have to get into the tap universe to really appreciate the genius. There is loads of back story to the film.

The last bit isn't really true. There was some great metal in the 1990s.

[@Scarizza]

This video could easily pass as a real Metal video, i wish their was a full version available it is a great track

[@Acrobatdog99]

It actually has a reference to the Dschinghis Khan Eurovision song in the album version.

[@badger4361]

The mix is actually very good.🙂

[@swinetrek]

A lot more accurate than many people think.

[@motorbear8022]

Had the pleasure of seeing them at Monsters of Rock, great laugh, my only memory is Ric asking 'What does a man with a 3 foot c%%k have for breakfast? Well I had a boiled egg this morning' Or words to that effect. Anyway Motorhead were great, and Ozzy was F-ing awesome .

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Rik loved that joke…saw him use that in a Bottom blooper reel Then again, this was the man who also sang “So look out you squares…I’m an angry young man! I once showed my Willy to PRINCESS ANNE!” 😂

I wonder why More Bad News can't be released unedited. On VHS and DVD, it was released from the same edited copy that Channel 4 aired where "fuck" and "fucking" where bleeped out. I also wonder why Channel 4 wanted to air it with bleeps when they aired other stuff back then with bad language.
