Nizlopi - JCB Song - Minster Studios

In Mid-December, 2013 we got the opportunity to meet and record our childhood heroes, Two-piece band 'Nizlopi' who became famous in 2005 with their No.1 track 'JCB Song'. We met them in Manchester and recorded a few live tracks at The Ruby Lounge before their show there that evening. The band have reformed and performed two new tracks as well as the 'JCB Song'. We had a great afternoon recording them so thanks to Nizlopi and also to Ruby Lounge for allowing us to film in their great venue.

Dad,you're my hero for ever.

[@MrCurpy]

Discovered this song about 6 months after cleaning up from a 20 or so year Drug addiction. Man! I cried my fucking eyes out. My Dad, who was also my best friend, died at the hight of my addiction, 2 months before my 21st birthday. He would take me with him to work as a kid too. He was an engineer, with dirty overalls and a hard hat. I wanted to be like him. I remember the defeat in his eyes of not being able to “save” his youngest son. I am 19 years Clean now, Daddy. You have 2 Grand sons, Tyler 18 and Liam 17 and a little fireball of a granddaughter named Kait 12. I tell them stories about you. You are the wisest man I have ever met. Please know that no-one could save me but myself. I love you, Dad… Till we meet again, old man.

[@deanbrown2015]

We only get one dad unfortunately we only truly realise that when they are gone. My biggest regret is that my dad never met his grandson. The pain will never leave me. All the best to you my friend.

[@xace85x]

You write beautifully. I am sure your Dad is proud of the person you have become (this Dad is)

[@Thensolomonsaid]

Makes me cry remembering my dad before old age got hold.l

[@McTrollPower]

[@Scribbby]

I love how Fast Car by Tracy Chapman was also incorporated into the song. Both these songs bring a nostalgic feeling of our past memories and relationships in our lives.

[@rileyalmond1915]

Double bass player starts beatboxing while he's playing. Everything about this is awesome.

[@petecorey]

The Fast Car lines were awesome!

[@danielcolthorpe7865]

Genius lyrics a song with real love and meaning it’s what music is all about

[@robertm7889]

Beautiful song ...so original so completely heart felt...magic!

[@mushadiqueosman7433]

My dad and I used to listen to this song on the drive to school almost 10 years back. Brings back good memories :-)

[@garybpt]

You could see the emotion all the way through. Beautiful.

[@seankearns3889]

Love how he gets lost in the music and goes to another place while he performs… I seen the Gorillaz live years ago and David Albarn was the same way, eyes rolling back the lot. He was lost in the performance. Thinking about it still gives me goosebumps to this day

[@naaimsmall6480]

The guy on the bass is amazing

[@Isabelbeau]

Tears every time ! And im never sure why , empathy ? My dad ? My daughter ? Just hits me like a ton of bricks ! Just beautiful a beautiful song fron his memories as 5 years old ... Name another song ? where someone writes and sings a song from when they were 5 ...#never

[@markstephenson6088]

Great footage of the JCB Song. Beautiful!!

[@firminofire9895]

Sat in working with tears listening to this trying to hide them. Love it! 👏

[@quokkapirquish6825]

Oh it’s just such a beautiful song, still makes me weep. ❤️

[@willystyle65]

I went to the gig after this was filmed. Seen these two live quite a few times. Some of my best gigs ❤️

[@stereomagic1]

Simply wonderful.

[@Lukeplastow]

My name is Luke. My dads name is Bruce. We both work in construction.This song fucks me up every time.

[@George_Snow]

Outstanding performance!

[@richardcrompton6009]

Amazing bass man !!! Thank you both !!

[@musicbydavidyoungs]

Sublime. Can't watch this without getting a lump in my throat or feeling my eyes start giving way.. Man, that is the way to deliver a song Luke - 100% of everything. Thanks.

[@gjeizon1235]

Luke is just amazing

[@enockamankwah2521]

I've met him in person, great musician.

[@thebulbous]

I sat with him earlier this month on a flight to Boston. Incredibly warm, open, funny, kind guy. So I'm just now hearing his music. Love it.

[@user-zd7nr7ez1t]

Amazing, beautiful,wonderful,thank you for writing this song.

[@shamsam69]

[@chantelletucker6385]

2020 and I will say come back and give us this music every year till you do. Them vocals wow ❤❤

[@hibaqobsiye2040]

Best song ever. This is my childhood song.

[@simonworman7898]

It brings more than a lump to my throat I am not ashamed to say! When it was released I had broken my arm, my MF backhoe loader was layed up, my then wife decided another way would be her route and my youngest son missed the stuff described in the son as I did and it is and always be the most wet eyed song ever!

[@markdavis5374]

The greatest song ever not to be a Christmas Number 1 - which it absolutely should have been. Such a beautiful song

[@seanmcconn]

Released 6 months to early to be a Christmas Number one!

[@artisticskillz01]

​@Sean McConn it was re-released on December 12th 2005 and peaked at number 1 for almost 2 weeks but lost out to shayne ward for the Xmas number 1 that year.

[@crazypolite]

This guy is so fucking underrated. Absolutely beautiful song

[@zootsoot2006]

This is real art. John Lennon would have been proud to have written this song, though he never had a dad. Like many who enjoy this song, I'm sure.

[@stevehutch9592]

So overrated, hence why this is his only hit really , th is is not bad tho to be fair bit my god he's on some rediculas drugs here

[@FreethinkingPro]

Getting kinda misty eyed - the realisation that time passed so fast - as all of it does in retrospect - The Happiest Time of Your Life is NOW !!!

[@anathem9982]

Dear god, the nostalgia this hit me with

[@yobrojoost9497]

One of my favourite songs ever! I loved the video but to see it played live is just awesome! Amazing, how such a happy song can make us cry. Truly a masterpiece! (I love how he put in a few lines from Fast Car at the end!)

[@charlieburnside5586]

That voice! Passion, love, feeling, heart, soul.... This is music! Oh and a great dress sense!

[@katiemee9983]

Holy shit, that transition into and out of Fast Car was seamless

[@Callum-wt2yf]

I don’t want to ever hear anything in my ears except this for the rest of my days 😞

The Ruby Lounge is gone now, it was on High Street facing the Arndale Centre. Never been in there, it was always shut when I went past it !

My kids bought me this on Cd single for Christmas one year but its a different animal live, great voice, great improv with fast car lyrics and beatboxing. What a version of an already splendid tune.

This is one of my top 2 songs ever. I found this song after my dad died. I then found a very good friend of mine and her family thought of me as their own. I love them to this day as my second family. Just cause of this song. I used to sing it for them
