As someone once said of Buster Bloodvessel "You have to admire a man who genuinely doesn't give a shit" 👍

It was the 80s and after a few beers this track was guaranteed to cause mayhem when it was played, you ain't lived until you've seen a couple of hundred pissed up Brits enjoying a dance that involves kicking the shit out of each other...In a friendly way.

@@SvenTviking I went a Stray Cats gig and figured, like you do to make my way to the front while the support were on. I got to the stage okay but then on came King Kurt. There was a guy standing next to me in full immaculate Teddy boy gear; embroidered waist coat, drape jacket, the lot! As he went over I grabbed his arm to save his outfit. He nodded towards the bar. We somehow made it back to the bar passed people doing flying leaps at each other. He bought me a beer for my trouble and we stayed safely out of the way until the interval. That was late '81. I was 20 years old at the time, 6 ft and pretty fit but I think I was actually scared for a couple of minutes. A bit later King Kurt were on TOTP doing "Destination Zululand".....I had flashbacks.

There were no other king Kurt hard core fans there, so all these other people were now covered in flour, eggs, paint, lord knows what else! Oops!🤣

Amusingly, I live in North London less than 5 minutes away and almost on the same street to where he went to the Woodberry Down Comprehensive School, along with the other band members (and actually formed the band). Unfortunately it was demolished some years ago.. Buster Bloodvessel once owned a hotel in Margate called Fatty Towers, which specifically catered for larger customers with features such as extra large beds and baths as well as fatty meals. 😃

Flippin' heck, I remember seeing this on Top of the Pops in 1981 and I can well imagine I was dancing about to this! Bad Manners with Buster Bloodvessel (what a great name) were so entertaining! I have not seen this for years, it's brilliant! Would you believe it got to No 3 in the UK charts - fabulous! Now, guys, you would have loved to been there, and joined in, wouldn't you??

You gave the perfect and correct reaction of 'what the fuck is happening ' whilst doing a ska head bob/shake....... I salute you sir, well played...

Nerd moment: The music for the can-can is the "Galop Infernal" from Jacques Offenbach's 1858 operetta “French composer Jacques Offenbach wrote this piece in 1858 for his operetta “Orphée aux enfers" (Orpheus in the Underworld). The music was the accompaniment for the Greek gods having a wild party. The video inserts are of French-style can-can dancers. The most famous place to see the can-can is the Moulin Rouge in Paris.

I used to sing 'Special Brew' by bad manners to my kid when he was a baby 😂

First saw Ban Manners in the basement of a pub in Aberdeen. The music started and we waited for Buster to bounce onto the stage. Instead, he burst into the audience and danced his way to the stage, bouncing around like a madman! By the end of the night the walls were actually running with condensation from all the sweat! I saw them 30 years later and it was just the same :)

I’d forgotten this…or possibly blanked it from my memory. Absolute classic 😂

lol, quality. Bad manners had a unique energy for sure lol. As you boys know who Buster Bloodvessel is you should do a reaction of The 2 Ronnies - Crop of the flops, it will crack you up lads 👍 Enjoy the rest of your week guys.

Bad Manners bloody brilliant at party's and weddings they play this and everyone gets up a proper laugh

The 80's in the UK were mad and magical, big hair, shoulder pads and blue eyeliner, I loved it. Some amazing bands, music and crazy people.

i bought this on 7" single and still have it....hope you noticed he is wearing the all important DM's doctor martin boots.....if you never had these in the late 70's early 80's god help you....my neice wears dm's and could not understand how i knew what they were...she was gutted when i told her i was wearing them over 40 years ago lol also bad manners turned up in a pub i was in after a gig and spent about 2 hours drinking and singing to every song playing....fantastic

At school discos in the early 80s, it was obligatory to kick the **** out of everyone else on the dance floor when this came on.

"What is going on?" Pretty much sums that up. I recall dancing like a loon to that in my local disco! Love your reactions.

The song is probably over 100 years old. This is a cover but quite different because it would normally be played by a caberet orchestra. It was one of the songs that made the Moulin Rouge famous.

I was 12 when this came out here in the UK, they played it a lot at our local teenage dicso, we all went mental and did the can can dance, brilliant memories from my childhood !!!!!

You guys would have loved the UK clubs & pubs in the 80s 🇬🇧 I had a blast 😁👍🏼💕

I remember watching this as a 10 year old and thinking it was perfectly normal in the Britain I grew up in, we called it "being eccentric" , in many ways we were far more tolerant of difference than we are now. edit, if you think Buster is nuts check out Bob Blackman Mule Train.

I've had the luck/privilege of seeing live some top artists over the years; McCartney/Wings, Simply Red, Wham (don't laugh, they were really good) and MJ... I was even at Live Aid in '85. But one gig stands out above all those and that's a hot sweaty night on June 23rd 1981 in the Northcott Theatre, Exeter university Campus. I was 16. Just imagine.

Go Spencer great dancing 💃🏻 👍🏻

Brilliant, I love Bad Manners and this was an excellent time for music. Inner London Violence is my best track. By the way they are still touring and I've heard they put on a good performance, hopefully I'll see them soon.

We all pogo'd to that at the teenage Disco

Love the fact he has his DM boots on under the dress. We had great times growing up with all this music and characters.

just gonna pencil in this one for the end of year compilation

The Can Can is music from Offenbach's 1867 Operetta "Orphée aux Enfers" ("Orpheus in Hell") and its formal name is Le galop infernal (the Infernal Galope) as it gets fast with each replaying in the operetta.

Played at just about every wedding I've ever been too, guaranteed to fill the floor, even at those functions that are a bit sparse where nobody's dancing !!!! lol

My mum bought this record and was 8 or 9. We played this at parties and if you can imagine, about 25 people were doing the can can in our living room!! Great fun memories, I'm so glad you are loving this stuff 🇬🇧🇺🇸😊

My mum recorded this on cassette off the radio. It was on our Christmas Party tape. We still dance to it at Christmas. Can Can in the kitchen! It’s so good as it gets faster and faster. Try it!!

There's nothing quite like the sound of a dancefloor full of shaven headed men in Doc Martens doing the Can Can along with Buster😁😎🍺

This reached Number 3 in the UK Chart in 1981 when i was 13. Good fun times :)

Its a joy watching you two watching this...thankyou.Takes me back x

Welcome to our classic British popular culture of the 70s/early 80s. Viva Busta!

For years my dad has spent New Year Eve at a pub with bad manners performing. Great way to see in the new year 🎉 He’s not been for the past couple of years because of covid though.

A 260-300lb bald hulk dressed as a woman and jumping around like Carl Lewis what's not to like and let's be honest who's gonna say you look a bit silly mate😂😂 I saw him at the Isle of Wight festival a few years back, a very big man with very big energy. Great stuff boys 👍✌️🇬🇧✌️🇺🇸

I am beginning to think you are more English than American with your love of the ridiculous and your sense of humour....Welcome guys.

Yay! Another one for you - TOY DOLLS - Nellie The Elephant.

this was normal BBC1 Thursday nights in the 80s ! Top of the pops

Haha, I can remember doing the skinhead moonstomp to this when I was 15. All the lads who were too embarressed to get up and dance had no qualms when this came on. Mosh pits have nothing on a gang of lads trying to kick fuck out of each other during the "dance". Great memories.

Watching you brought great joy and grins.

I was nearly 4 years old when this was on TOTP . I remember watching it with my mum . Something you never forget .

Buster Bloodvessel & the boys didn't give a sh!t, they just went out & had fun & you had a few beers & joined in. Not to mention the obligatory Dr. Marten's Oxblood boots! Fantastic!! 🤣😂

Loving the reaction to this one knew you would love it. Lots of fun.

You guys need - and totally deserve and owe it to yourselves - a trip to the UK :-)

I used to be a DJ in the late 70s and 80s and this was a must play for New Years eve

The generator beeping at the end was the perfect touch!!

Saw them four times. Some of the crowd started fighting. He stopped and shouted out 'We are a dancing band not a fighting band.. let's dance.'

I grew up on Ska and that is a pure dance track!

Makes me so happy watching this. So happy

I've seen Bad Manners about 20 times over the years most recently a couple of years ago in LA. They are always awesome.

He’s still alive in 2024!

The lead singer of Bad Manners goes by the name of Buster Bloodvessel. I think Ska music was as much performance and entertainment as music. Personally, I didn't appreciate it at the time but my nephew is a lead singer in a band and they cover some Ska stuff which always really gets the audience going.

Underrated ska-band from the 2-Tone-era. We saw them live in west Berlin during cold war 80's and the German skinheads was so big and tall and full of muscles that we prefered to stay at the bar in the back with our beers. No pogo for us! :D

Second wave ska was just perfect, this tune was on the original version of Lemmings.

You should do "special brew" by Bad Manners :)

I remember Buster wearing a can can dress with he’s head painted red doing the can can at the music Brit awards wayyyyyy back..The Brit awards never topped it..Also during a interview Buster ate 25 Big Macs.!!!!!.Love the guy and so glad you fellas do over the pond.!🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

this song has stuck with me for these past 4 decades and is still fun as hell to see even now i applaud you both for checking it out welcome to british 80s pop chart fun

Ich verstehe kein Wort und lache mit euch mit.....Made my Day....

Buster Bloodvessel was close to 300lb here so seeing him dance and do cartwheels is impressive enough! I think this band are the dictionary definition of 'underappreciated' in the UK. Other bands in that category are Chas 'N' Dave, Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer and Pittman (all entertaining acts in their own right but all totally different).

Well done spencer you nailed it xxx

Love seeing you two really 'getting' us Brits, especially my generation who grew up in the 70's. Late 70's to early 80's was amazing times, all about not giving a fuck, and just having fun.

I am from the UK and watch a lot of Americans react videos but you two are the best you make me proper laugh

Being English, the UK ska scene was one of greatest in history! This song today is still one we bust out when drunk out at parties and do our buster bloodvessel

"What are they smoking?!" Well, funny you should mention that; I remember one drizzly, autumnal, Sunday evening back in the early 1990's. A friend of mine and I popped round to Buster's house (my friend had something to drop off there as he did a few odd jobs for him) and he had a couple of other mates with him and we spent about an hour sitting around, drinking tea and smoking puff. It all seemed a bit surreal at the time, but it's something I'll always remember. Nice bloke he was and surprisingly, softly spoken.

You could tell that he was knackered by the time it got near the end.

I’d forgotten about this, I am old enough to have seen this the first time around! 🤣🤣

Banging tune.x

I have this tune on work playlist.
