It always puts a big smile on my face when I hear them sing “Baby Can’t You See, I’m Shitting Brown Water” on prime time BBC

The underrated gods of rock. Love em

I remember this vividly because it was a rare occasion when something good was on Top of the Pops.

one of..if not the greatest performance totp has ever seen (including amazing crowd and seemingly fantastic live singing and playing)

And how they out away with singing “oh baby can’t you see I’m shitting brown water” live is magical 👍🤘🤣

I'd read all the overwhelmingly positive reviews of Earth Vs Wildhearts in all the rock magazines as a then 13 year old and I knew that I would have to buy the album once I'd saved up enough pocket money. However, just before I was able to I saw this performance on TOTP and I knew that I was going to absolutely love this band and I still do nearly 30 years later!

I miss TOTP for these kind of golden nuggets!

Utterly Glorious! This could cure COVID-19!

Ginger gets away with swearing on top of the pops! Excellent

Did he also ad lib 'my brain is fucked...' earlier in the track?

UTERLLY BLOODY EXCELLENT

I remember seeing this when it was broadcast - totally unexpected, but brilliant nonetheless. Best band in the fuckin' world!

I was helping to take disabled people to the TOTP studio around this time. Unfortunately this was one of the weeks I missed. Well gutted.

My favourite Wildhearts TOTP story is when they were filming "I Wanna Go..." & Chris Evans was presenting the show & had the song as his 'Tune Of The Week". He got in some grief for playing the other version at 8am... Anyway apparently Danny Wildheart accosted Chris Evans & said "I love your show but I forgot me fuckin' toothbrush!" Evans allegedly sent his PA to the Boots round the corner for a toothbrush & a tube of Colgate for Danny...😂

Absolutely fantastic

''Baby can't you see, I'm sipping down water...'' 👀

AMAZING 🔥🔥

Amazing how did this get on totps beautiful track

How brilliant is this? And the fact that it made the charts! And the TOTP audience going nuts, too. Wildhearts and the Manics saved hard rock for me, back in 1993/94, after interminable years of miserabilist grunge. Mick Wall's "Getcha Rocks Off" podcast (Bands that Almost Made It episode) has a nice little anecdote of when Ginger met Liam Gallagher backstage at TOTP in 1995 or thereabouts.

I can relate.Dad saying what the hell is that?

I used to share a flat with this bloke back in the 80s, when he was in a group called the Ipanema Katz. He still owes me £5.12 for the electricity bill. Whenever yer ready, Ginge...

I knew Danny the bassist in a former life, I was best mates with his brother, right up until he stabbed me in the back.

Oh dear, never mind..
