So. If you work round meat all day you turn into a Stalker . Never flirt at Parties when your girl friend is there as she probably end up on a life support.
One hell of a song and Video at the time . And he has a ladies name ! (Rock and Grate !)

This track was voted the best one hit wonder and considering its age still stands as a true masterpiece. Crikey just listed to the lyrics again and this never got banned and I recall hearing this everywhere at the time of release.

Pothos, a truly wonderful song but I'm intrigued about your take on why you thought it should, perhaps have been banned? If you care to enlighten us, here are the lyrics :
"I've been going out with a girl, her name is Julie But last night she said to me, when we were watching telly
(This is what she said)
She said listen John, I love you But there's this bloke, I fancy I don't want to two time you, so it's the end for you and me
Who's this bloke I asked her Goooooordon, she replied Not THAT puff, I said dismayed Yes but he's no puff she cried
(He's more of a man than you'll ever be)
Here we go, two three four
I was so upset that I cried, all the way to the chip shop
When I came out there was Gordon, standing at the bus stop
(And guess who was with him? Yeah, Julie, and they were both laughing at me)
Oh, she is cruel and heartless to pack me for Gordon Just cos he's better looking than me Just cos he's cool and trendy
But I know he's a moron, Gordon is a moron Gordon is a moron, Gordon is a moron
Here we go, two three four
Oh she's a slag and he's a creep She's a tart, he's very cheap She is a slut, he thinks he's tough She is a bitch, he is a puff Yeah yeah, it's not fair Yeah yeah, it's not fair
(I'm so upset)
I'm so upset, I'm so upset, yeah yeah
(I ought to smash his face in.)
(Yeah, but he's bigger than me. In't he?)
(I know, I'll get my mate Barry to hit him. He'd flatten him)
(Yeah but Barry's a mate of Gordon's in'e?)
(Oh well, I don't care)
I don't care I don't care Cause she's a slag and he's a creep she's a tart, he's very cheap she is a slut, he thinks he's tough......"

Hi I can recall just how worried Radio 1 used to be historically about lyrics. I recall My Ding a Ling getting into to trouble and reading the lyrics today I can recall watching TOTP and praying my Mum and Dad would not pick up on the lyrics in the last verse.
Eggman I would not ban it but considering everything from The Sex Pistols to Donna Summer to Chuck Berry to Frankie goes to Hollywood did then I always wondered how this got through unnoticed.
A truly great track though.

Thanks for the enlightenment Pothos. I know where you're coming from. Auntie Beeb was so hypocritical at times, certainly with their playlists and some of the songs they just wouldn't entertain full stop. The innuendo of Chuck Berry's 'My Ding-A-Ling' was so blatant that I couldn't fathom it out why they allowed it on their radio and TV shows. Anyway, I'm glad they 'relented' as far as Jilted John was concerned. I bought that single on the strength of hearing it on BBC radio. And they even allowed it to be aired live on Top Of The Pops! Here's the classic Jilted John.

I think a lot of the problems came down to the Aunty hierarchy being older than the target audience (especially in the 1960's 1970's) Look how long they took to even acknowledge that a new youth culture in the UK was actually happening in the 1950's. They just were hoping it would go away.

Apparently Evil Keneival recorded poetry and put it to music.
