Jason Manford - Assembly Bangers (Official Music Video)

The brilliant new single from Jason Manford, released on 25th November 2022! All profits will go to the Trussell Trust.
“When I first started talking about Assembly Bangers on stage I never once thought we’d get to this point of releasing an actual record! It’s nuts. But so many people have messaged asking me to do it so here we are. Not only am I delighted to be releasing this single, but all profits will be going to the Trussell Trust; I’m a big supporter of the work they do. The track is a bit of nostalgic fun from our school days and if we can raise money for the charity, whilst having a laugh with the single, that would be fantastic!” Jason Manford
Single available to download or stream at ingrv.es/assem...

Made me cry. Took me right back 50 years to my primary school. How simple life was then ❤

[@joshpap10]

He tapped into so many people’s memories with this. Every 80’s 90’s and early 00’s kids will know all of these without thinking. And be able to sing them with their grandparents.

[@Crazy-Dad1988]

Isn’t it strange how I haven’t heard these since my primary school years but now 34 I still know the words! Made me smile looking back on the good olde stress free years in life. Lol 🤘🏻😊

[@paulb8666]

Don’t apologise

[@Exparcelman]

I left primary school in 1988 and I remember all the words (like everyone else here in the comments). I’m not religious in any way, but this is great. Very uplifting and nostalgic.

[@adibrookes1183]

Heard it for the first time today in the car and me and the kids were singing our hearts out together. ASSEMBLY BANGERS FOR CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE!!!

[@charlottegompertz9128]

Jason you’re making a lot of vicars very happy 😃

[@seancharlie8476]

It's been 27 years or more since I last sang these songs but I'm sat here smiling whilst listening to it.

[@KatharineA0203]

It’s 41 years since I left junior school & I’ve got the biggest smile on my face - Jason for Christmas No 1 🎉

[@fatsam2564]

Same 18 years since I left and I’m singing along like it was yesterday

[@louisecarpenter3282]

Bloody brilliant Jase. Can’t stop listening to it never thought when I was 7 I’d be singing this out of choice at 48 lol!

[@annmariebuscema]

In our Primary School our priest would play his guitar for the songs

[@petercash5110]

I am 78 and I cannot stop listening to it, well done Jason, just love it, and the words I can still remember like yesterday, but no idea what today's song's words are. Keep safe and well everyone, Peter in Bournemouth UK

[@carolinekeane_05]

I really loved the concept of ”Assembly Bangers"-right back when Jason Manford+Steve Edge first talked about it on their Absolute Radio show+now this is really happening!-it brings back such brilliant memories of being a kid+belting out hymns at the top of your voice+not caring who was listening!-well done Jason+Steve+all involved!🎤🎶⛪🎵🎹

[@kathharms8520]

What the world needs right now ... God bless you, Jason, that's awesome

[@caroltruby1056]

Wow! Sing hosanna to the King indeed!

[@aryastark772]

[@haleywatson1223]

I have just seen this on Breafast tv, it has just taken be back 40+ years. I still knew the words, amazing.

[@celtieraroberts3563]

Might be the best thing I’ve heard this year. No idea how I remember all the lyrics to all the songs but not what I did two hours ago 😂

[@shikorina100]

Erm, where's the Autumn Leaves song?! The weirdest one we ever sang! Jetplanes meeting in the air to be refueled. Lol 🤣

[@wendyrathbone5478]

That is a modern one, well since the 1970s and 80s which was my era 🤣🤣 It has the worst rhyme ever!

[@amya9316]

And the TASTE OF APPLE PIE

[@MrDannyDetail]

@@wendyrathbone5478 I sang it at primary school in the late 80s. I also had the sheet music for it in the early 90s when I was in recorder class.

[@MrDannyDetail]

It was probably one of the least weird ones we did in my primary school, when compared to things like Tingalayo and Kalinka.

[@LovecraftComedy]

Autumn Days

[@Lukethetower]

Praise be to Christ!!

[@_psv__]

One of these should have been #1

[@Kate210483]

This is ace, so many flash backs to my Junior school days. Can we make it Christmas Number 1

[@68grace]

Fabulous! Hope it gets to Number 1. All for the food trusts.

[@borobri1980]

Still know all the words and I left primary school in July 92….Bravo Jason!!!

[@LovecraftComedy]

We sang all of these at school - except the first one. No idea what 'This Little Light Of Mine' is, it certainly wasn't in the Come and Praise books...

[@rachelmcleod5609]

Just played this for my kids and they have never heard these songs and are loving them now..

[@charlesthomas6513]

Me and the wife were in the crowd for this, it was filmed after his gig in Birmingham, great end to the show.

[@Blossom1948]

[@lillianmcsherry6338]

I like this ❤️

[@jarvinator100]

My mate sent me this with the message "throw back to school days." We didn't go to school together which I thought was weird, but looking at these comments I seem to be the only person who has no idea about these songs.

[@tw7625]

I had lord of the dance at my wedding ceremony and everyone loved it 😅

[@agnesblakeway2859]

Marvellous x

[@melissavaughan359]

[@GreedFisher]

banger

[@MrDannyDetail]

Of the five songs I've genuinely never heard of two of them. Another two ("He's got the whole world in his hand" and "lord of the dance") I've heard of but never actually sang in assemblies at school. Which leaves only 'Sing Hosannah' as the only one I actually sang in assemblies, and even then only in infants, before overtly Christian songs were largely dropped from assemblies, and even then I don't remember there ever being anything about oil or burning, only 'give me joy in my heart'. The chorus of 'Sing Hossanah' always got messed up in our assemblies, as the 'of kings' isn't sung the second time through the chorus, but the infants in our school always tried to sing it anyway every flipping time. So yeah only really a half-match out of five for my primary school lol (and we didn't sing in assemblies at all at secondary school). I wonder how much variation there was between schools in terms of what was sung in assemblies? Did schools in the 70s to early 90s essentially have free rein with their song choices?

[@robhig2318]

Wow, you're a bundle of fun aren't you?

[@TheGojodfrey]

Never sung any happy clappy songs at school, plenty of hymns which some erroneously call these. Huge variation between schools at the time, it came down trying to get people to participate, we sung anything in music classes and choir but assembly none of these

[@KerriEngland]

Just depend on the school. Was at primary in the 90s and sang all of these x

[@adamnelson8817]

I went to primary school late nineties and early two thousands and sang all of these

Loved the show tonight Jason, please leave the chair alone though, you were much funnier when you were on your feet. Sounds like a really old man's comment this 😑 just positive feedback though as I've seen you before and was rolling uncontrollably all night! Much love ❤️

[@JasonManford]

Haha I think that’s in your head pal! 😂 I couldn’t hear over the laughter! The chair is here to stay! I’ll never go back 😂

[@johnoneill5884]

Sing Hosanna to the King. King Charles III the new King. King of England, never thought I’d live to see a new monarch, God Save the King, King Charles III, the new King of England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland aka Great Britain & the commonwealth

[@KatMusic2009]

That isn't the King the song is referring to!

[@NewcastleFred]

I wouldn't be singing anything to HIM 🤬 (King Jug Ears)

[@artroms1]

As a Christian who laments the loss of the old hymns from my schooldays of the 1950's, I take my hat off to Jason. In 2017 I started to get inspiration to write parodies and had lined up my grand-children's school choir to record 'He Came to Teach the World to Live' at Easter 2020. Sadly, Lockdown prevented it. I had it published anyway with Stoke-onTrent singer Nicky Whyman and we dedicated it to the Trussel Trust. It would still be great to do it now with the multi-ethnic London school. It's a parody of the most famous 'Coke' ad and New Seekers mega-hit 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing in Perfect Harmony' in my author name of Jude. If this strikes a chord with you please upvote it if you think we should try and re-record with the kids as Jason has obviously re-ignited a dying flame whose time has clearly come again!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWGwiYuQq9ObotU I just heard that it is a Finalist nomination in the 2022 UK Songwriting Contest.
