A special message to Grandma (from the other day...) Just don't ask why she was in the bathroom. Her plan. I have no idea why!

Wedding Ceremony - First Cut
zhlédnutí 69Před 16 lety
Still a work-in-progress, this is the first rough cut of the video from our wedding ceremony.
Thanks for sharing this; he lives on...I'm blessed to have seen him 3 times
The English counterpart of French chansonnier,Goerge Brassens.
This defines genius
"If you must put people on pedestals, wear a big hat" - wise words.
The sound is bad.
Songwriting excellence and a fabulous performer of his own fabulous work. I salute you Mr Thackeray. A true musical genius. ❤
This shit crosses generations. I thank my deceased father for introducing me the wordsmithery of Mr Thackray. And I, in turn have gifted it to my children.
more wisdom contained within this one song than can be gained with a phd in Philosophy 🤣
Happy Heavenly Birthday Jake.
Hate that there's a bit cut out
Must be damaged tape, such a nuisance
Wonderfully eccentric ❤
A song with a wonderful message. Sad to think that there are few, if any, songwriters of Jake's calibre any more.
On my farm, the bull is the king of the yard; He's big and bad and fast, he's strong he's . . . hard. All my other animals would readily concur That he is the one you salute, he's the one you call "Sir". But my hens, a noisy, flighty flock - Led, of course by my unsubmissive cock - Whenever His Majesty the bull importantly goes by They dance along behind him and they cry: "Beware of the bull!" The bull, the bull is the biggest of all. He is the boss, he is, because he's big and we are small. But the bigger the bull, bigger the bull, bigger the balls. The bigger the bull, the bigger and quicker and thicker the bullshite falls. Beware of the bull! The dancing cock is right: Beware of whoever looks down upon you from a height. Beware of His Honour, His Excellence, His Grace, His Worshipful, Beware of His Highness, because of the bull. For if the boss, the chief, the chap at the top Should let a single lump of claptrap drop, The greater the weight and the height he is, the harder it will go With a grander splat! on the bleeders below. Beware of the bull! The bull, the bull is the biggest of all. He is the boss, he is, because he's big and we are small. But the bigger the bull, bigger the bull, bigger the balls. The bigger the bull, the bigger and quicker and thicker the bullshite falls. The hero arrives, we hoist him shoulder-high. He's good and wise and strong, he's brave, he's . . . shy. And how we have to plead with him, how bashfully he climbs Up the steps to the microphone - two at a time. Then down it comes: slick, slithery pat! If you must put people on pedestals, wear a big hat. The tongue he's got is pure gold, the breast is pure brass, The feet are pure clay - and watch out for the arse. Beware of the bull! The bull, the bull is the biggest of all. He is the boss, he is, because he's big and we are small. But the bigger the bull, bigger the bull, bigger the balls. The bigger the bull, the bigger and quicker and thicker the bullshite falls. At long last, the revolution comes And in no time at all we're erecting podiums. Comrades with chests of medals by the balcony-full; After the Red Flag, the galloping bull. The Saviour came especially from on high To face up to the punters eye-to-eye. No sooner is he dead and gone, there's blessed pulpits-full; Bestride the holy lamb, behold the bull. Beware of the bull! The bull, the bull is the biggest of all. He is the boss, he is, because he's big and we are small. But the bigger the bull, bigger the bull, bigger the balls. The bigger the bull, the bigger and quicker and thicker the bullshite falls. These well-known men, so over-glorified - There's one of them here his name's on the poster outside - And he's up here like this, and you are all down there. Remember his cock and his bull and mutter: "Beware!" For when they've done, we clap, we cheer, we roar: "For he is a jolly good fellow! Encore! More, more!" How glorious it would be if before these buggers began We all stood up together and solemnly sang: "Beware of the bull!" The bull, the bull is the biggest of all. He is the boss, he is, because he's big and we are small. But the bigger the bull, bigger the bull, bigger the balls. The bigger the bull, the bigger and quicker And the bigger and quicker and thicker And the bigger and quicker and thicker and slicker the bullshite falls.
Apart from Steely Dan Jake's albums are the only records I can be bothered to listen to all the way through these days! Lyrics are spellbinding!
I'm here because I heard the name on Jon Richardsons show. Good call.
Unique talent at work
Absolutely brilliant..he was a very talented man!!
Brilliant...remember this the first time round...hadn’t remembered David Soul playing on the Double Bass though 😉
Re Soul- and for wages all he's after is Black Bean Soup
Genius.
Unique talent Great wordsmith
The bass player keeps things going nicely! Anyone know who he is?
His name was Alan Williams, but it seems not a lot is known about him!
David Soul
:-D if you want to put people on pedestals wear a big hat!
trump should hear this....No fake news here.
David soul on bass!
The late Alan williams
Great man. Great songs. Great poetry. A true master of the English language Thanks Jake
The musical accompaniments are wonderful but the language itself creates so much of the rhythm itself. Beautifully crafted.
Great stuff. You will always be remembered Jake. RIP
Fabulous.. miss him xx
Not just funny and a great writer but what a brilliant guitarist he was!
Fantastic. I hope he won't be forgotten. Hope the BBC shows Jake On The Box again so more people can see him.
I saw Jake at the Tramshed Woolwich back in the 70's.He arrived 20 mins late as he passed by me I said "you're late" he said "yes but i'm worth waiting for"😊 diamond faceted talent sadly missed😎
My favorite ,,xx
can ya post the doc?
I loved him on the Bernard Braden show years ago and have done ever since.A clever man and a unique guitarist to boot.Jim.Liverpool.
Had the pleasure of seeing him every day at school a true gent funny, entertaining and a great English Teacher!
+steviebsurfs Would love to have met him, brilliant person
+steviebsurfs I am so jealous - Jake is an unsung genius
I was lucky enough to see Jake in concert in Loughborough in 1977 ... and I'm still smiling 40 years later!
You were a lucky lad.I wish he had been my teacher instead of the thick wankers I had to put up with.Jim.Liverpool.
steviebsurfs so lucky to be taught by Jake, unfortunately I was 50 years too late to be taught by him, and on the wrong side of the country, but yeah! Still my favourite!!
I loved him. A one off. His music was like a blend of folk and jazz, and great for late night listening--or any time. I loved his accent too. It's great to find him on youtube. Many thanks for putting him on.
That guy on the stand up wants to laugh his head off. lol
brilliant thanx for posting
so funny
Genius - some of his lyrics are incredible here and on Sister Josephine, Brother Gorilla, etc etc. My favourite is the Ballad of Billy Kershaw. Sublime.
Legend, since 70s TV.
No, the late Alan Williams.
Love love love it
Truly extraordinary.
Just got tickets to a Jake Thackray event at the Edinburgh Fringe from edfringe.com looks like it's going to be good.
I saw posters at Stourbridge Town Hall'..But never took the to opportunity to see him.To my eternal shame'..But I've been a fan of jakes' for at least 35 years.I have all his recordings...But Strangely'..This song wasn't amongst them?..ILove this one..Total Genius was Jake Thackray..R.I.P.

Such a beauty of a Yorkshire man poet.
