Ian Dury - Supermans Big Sister

[@looneyplum]

Was the manager at this Mobil petriol station up the side of Euston Station when this video was made .Ian was a really nice guy and i remember the day well.Stiff records had booked the site for a couple of hours but believe it or not it took eight hours of filming to make this 3 minute clip . you will notice some of the shots are in daylight and some in darkness . RIP Ian sadly missed by many Dave Weaver

I grew up in Altoona Pa., a railroad city with zero culture, and somehow I discovered Ian Dury's Laughter in 1980 and played it endlessly!! in my last year of high school. A tremendous send off for bigger adventures in the wider world!!!

El puto amo de la fusión Funk/Soul/Rock y sonidos que estimulen nuestro sistema.

[@eisemanrenyardjake]

Did they film this at the petrol station just north of Euston station? I call the 3 tower-blocks U can see in the background "Legoland Camden" 'cause they look just like giant lego buildings (yeah, I know they've got a different official name.) This song would make the ideal intro to a spoof superhero movie

[@marcusbondi]

THIS. IS. ENGLAND! CLASSIC.

Man I love Ian And his drug habits

[@pandemicbassist]

yeah on the vid it's spelled 'superman's big sister' ( 0:21 )... and i just reallised what you meant, i miss-read the comment. i'm sure i've heard something about it being spelled wrong before.... probably heard Norm talking about it once :P

[@myeralan]

Compare and contrast with the shite these days. IMMORTAL MR DURY!!!1

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

@GarrettKeetley life, you need one

[@goth1agw1omw]

The spelt the song wrong; it's Sueperman's Big Sister.

[@MistaSpookie]

Ian dury was a punk man, in his own right.... :]

[@pandemicbassist]

[@borombon]

Why is this song that short!

[@MarkkuKoljonenwTinja]

[@borombon]

If I didn't know it's Ian Dury I would think it's Tom Waits.
