I sometimes remember that line when I'm at work and people want to put on the radio. I never see the point. If I want to listen to something, I'll just get it to play in my head.
I just played this for my daughter. She didn't realise it was actually a real song, and all her life (she's now 24), she wondered why I'd go 'round saying, "I like strangling budgies, I'm what you call an animal lover", etc.,. Now she knows.
Lol, when this came out we did the same thing for months, we would walk into a room and stop and point, "didn't you kill my brother" , you come here, go away... aahh when music was music, lol..
Lol that's funny. I just played this for my 27-year-old son after saying, "C'mere.Go way."😆 This song just randomly popped into my head tonight out of the ether!
Reminds me of a time I was playing a gig at the only club in Espanola, Ontario. The afternoon shift from the pulp and paper plant got off at 11:pm. While we were on stage, all these guys came in, hit the floor, and started doing the "Gator". Unforgettable!
Whenever people suggest I've had enough to drink, I roll out this line. "I've only known ya for 10 minutes. But your the BEST PAL I've ever 'ad...." A classic so '80s song.
This video was directed by Sandy Johnson. We worked at the same company and he needed extras for the end section. My moment of fame comes at 3:47! Hilarious.
For years I thought I had dreamed this song. My friends had no idea what I was tlaking about when I was asking them if they remembered the ''didn't you kill my brother song?'' hahha. [born in 78]
CrimsonCatacombs I was flipping channels one night and wondered if I was high. I never saw it again until CZcams and finally realized it was real. Born same year as you.

Huge 80s classic. It was new and fresh and it used the new tech of the music industry. The comic relief is highly present, but still quality samples and music. With that Paul Hardcastle 19 vibe going.
I nearly fell off my couch laughing at this video when it first came out on the late night video play channel on CBC Canada in 1986. LOVE YA ALEXEI SAYLE! " I SAW YA! I SAW YA!
Why do I still remember this song from when I was 13 in the 80's? That's nuts. All the things they taught me in high school, and this is what my brain remembers! Do you like sponge?
Same someone recorded music videos in the 80s and this was one of the song on there I always thought this was a unique song and stuck in my head I’m 42
Alexei Sayles Stuff was one of my late Grandfathers fave TV shows tying with Mr. Bean. He was also a huge fan of all sorts of British Comedy. I was influenced by his choices in comedy. Thanks Musum. (Grandfather in Cree) :D
Laying here minding my own business and this song pops into my head out of nowhere. I was wondering if it was really a song or if I’m just crazy. CZcams never lets me down! 😂 Gotta love the 80s
My sister in law was an oak tree/No, do I mean a manhole cover/I've got a brain like a jukebox/Eh, didn't you kill ma brother?/I got a job as a petrol pump for the government undercover/C'mere, ah want te talk te yew/Eh, didn't you kill ma brother?
My friends and I learned the "African Anteater Ritual" dance from the '80s film "Can't Buy Me Love", so that we could dance it at the local disco, like they did in the movie. lol
The first time I saw this video, I was rolling on the floor laughing uncontrollably. I think I may have even pissed myself a little. Still makes me laugh to this day.
Alexei Sayle, as I can recall reading somewhere, once said that he should have been a contender for the role of Doctor Who. It was just after his guest role as the DJ in Revelation Of The Daleks. 😎
Wait a minute. This song is REAL?!?! It isn't something my weakened brain came up with during one of the many 48 hour awake periods I went through in my youth?!??? This is a real thing?????
Gotta love the 80's . Bizzare stuff like this wasn't uncommon . Then again Tipper Gore was busy protesting Heavy Metal acts for explicit lyrics and was responsible for those Parental Advisory stickers that appear on cds . imo all she did was make it easier for the kids to find those albums . It didn't stop me from buying them and i turned out okay . LMFAO.
SHEER GENIUS!!! - I REMEMBER WHEN THIS CAME OUT...IT WAS A WORLD WIDE SMASH. I SAY ALEXEI SAYLE FOR UK PM...HE'S COMPLETELY TROPPO BUT HE'S SANE WHEN COMPARED TO THE CURRENT LOT AT NO.10...HE'LL GET MY VOTE!
this is just how awesome music can be! no real meaning but something that sticks to your ribs in actual fact! gotta love I remember it from 80's late nite music shows in Australia like RAGE on ABC. And just to cap it off: hullo John got a new motor!
Hey you. Hey you. Hey you. Come 'ere you, come here. Hey you. Come 'ere you, come here. Come here mate. I said you I said you I said you, you- Go away.
Yeah Bottom is funny, great show, but I only watched that on YT recently (last 5 years) , saw Young Ones in the 80's that's all we got in America, on MTV too, imagine that.
This recently became a huge hit on twitter (now known as "X"). Can not get it out of my head. Also...Steven Fry...may no longer be a "National Treasure".
This song has had permanent residence in my brain since I first heard it back in 85.
Same.. lol
Fat guys are surprisingly good at dancing.
So you've got a brain like a jukebox?
Come 'ere you! I said you! Come 'ere, yes you! go away was a staple in my household growing up, RIP mum
I remember when this knocked U2 off the number one spot in NZ
🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵"......Didn't you kill, didn't you kill, didn't you kill my Bono.." 🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶 🤣👍
If only it knocked U2 out of this planet
🥳
And well deserved too!
I love that that happened
"I've got a brain like a jukebox" was always my favorite line from this.
I sometimes remember that line when I'm at work and people want to put on the radio. I never see the point. If I want to listen to something, I'll just get it to play in my head.
"I've only known you for ten minutes, but you're the best mate I've ever had"
*pal
Oi, didn't you kill mah brother?

The best line of the song!
I spent a lot of 1986 using that line as well...Classic !
Lol, when this came out we did the same thing for months, we would walk into a room and stop and point, "didn't you kill my brother" , you come here, go away... aahh when music was music, lol..
Lol my dad always go around the house saying "ello john got a new motor" and "didn't you kill my brother" now i know why. He's not insane
Lol that's funny.
I just played this for my 27-year-old son after saying,
"C'mere.Go way."😆 This song just randomly popped into my head tonight out of the ether!
There was a particular nite club we went to where the DJ played this song. Holy crap, so many people were dancing like Alexei . . .

A classic so '80s song.
I've allways thought this was some kind of fever dream. ten years later I rediscover this song realizing it was real all along
Back after 10 years and I still love it, THAT DANCE!
Yup me too. I was thinking about Alexi after 30 years 😂
Indeed! That bit at the end is priceless!
The choreography is out of this world...
Brilliant!
This type of song is just one reason there has never been and never will be a decade like the 80's.

Phil Collins plus Alfred Hitchcock = Alexei Sayle. What a vid.
How is he either of those?

I wouldn't be surprised if I first saw this on YTV's Tarzan Dan's Hitlist.

OH GOD!! my life was terrible before i saw this video! Now I've got my life back on track! THANK YOU ALEXEI SAYLE
Alexei Sayle was hilarious in The Young Ones.
I can't even afford to buy new shoelaces!
Alexei Sayle is a riot! His lyrics, his weird dancing, and his funny face crack me up!
Are we already clocks!?

We pissed ourselves laughing at this when it was first on TV.
Alexei the dancer at 0:37
HA!!.
Top ten artists Eminem was scared to diss!
3:37 set the bar for best dance video in the history of mankind. The head shakes was epic.
The choreography is AMAZING! Kudos..🏆
Michael Jackson couldn't hold a candle to this display of grace 😆
Alexei from 'The Young Ones' UK comedy series, legendary..
I haven't seen this video in 34 years. Still good.

This is the best thing I have ever seen in my life
My mom had this on loop for us growing up lol absolute classic
i need to learn to dance like that... for my wedding this song is totally being played and i am learning the dance!!!
Did you ever get married and do the dance?
My friends and I learned the "African Anteater Ritual" dance from the '80s film "Can't Buy Me Love", so that we could dance it at the local disco, like they did in the movie. lol
We are deep in the 80's here - with all the techniques of 80's film and music production in full effect.
The 80's?
I'd have em back in an instant
Yeah, I'd give anything to go back to the 80's, it was the be-

This is part of what made the 80's amazing !
Check out the song Fish Heads

First time I saw or even heard of Alexi Sayle was in Doctor Who's Revelation Of The Daleks starring Colin Baker as The Doctor and Alexi was a music DJ
Great old tune.
Thanks.
This deserves all the attention in the world
I remember watching Much Music here in Canada and this music video came on followed by Fish Heads by Barnes & Barnes. Strange times! Haha
I used to hate Alexei as a kid but now I freaking love him. I really cannot get enough of him now.
Ah hahaha I remember this tune back in the day - too funny - Can't believe I danced to it lol
Luv it!!!
"You're the best pal I ever had!"
God, this brings me back to my stoner days. We used to laugh our balls off and quote the lyrics after smoking up.
Oh this is going back - remember when he was on the Young Ones lol... I used to love this song didn't much like my brother at the time either PML.....
My lord...and to think we used to listen to this during Expo 86 at 86 St....tell me it was only a dream!!!
this is just how awesome music can be! no real meaning but something that sticks to your ribs in actual fact! gotta love I remember it from 80's late nite music shows in Australia like RAGE on ABC. And just to cap it off: hullo John got a new motor!

Come 'ere you, come here.
Hey you. Come 'ere you, come here.

Go away.

The absolute power in this man

CZcams helping me to relive my childhood !!
WOW. This is the best source of inspiration i've ever found!

Loved the Young Ones back in the day Mate. From a Yank.
+Sailordude2012 young ones was awesome, so was the show Bottom which i thought was better
Yeah Bottom is funny, great show, but I only watched that on YT recently (last 5 years) , saw Young Ones in the 80's that's all we got in America, on MTV too, imagine that.
Bottom was on in canada but u had to stay up till like 1 in the morning to watch it
Bottom was on in Australia at about 11pm
"You gotta laugh", "Its a funny old world"
Mussolini would have been so proud to see his talented wee grandson Alexei in this video.
This recently became a huge hit on twitter (now known as "X"). Can not get it out of my head. Also...Steven Fry...may no longer be a "National Treasure".
THis is awesome! Haven't seen this since the 90's lol
Also, the guy in the background at the "bar" is chugging HARD
Still love this music!
sweet trying to find this video me and my friends remember this one lol cant wait to forward it to them big ty for posting,it tooo funny :)
I love this, it reminds me of the song "Nineteen" by Paul Hardcastle.
This video has renewed my faith in humanity.
this song is the best song evar.
so much win in this vid...brings me back.
ah! much more music! nice! Canadian!
I'm a canuck and I think it's funny I grew up with a lot of British TV, back in the day half the stuff on TV was English shows in Canada.
The video came out in 1986 - the single was released in 1985.
I'm not known for my patience!
Rick: Then you're obviously not Dr Kildare
Only 300,000 views? What is wrong with drunk people?
An extra 100,000 views, thats like a small city...get to a million by Xmas?
they couldn't find the like button !!
They can see the lizards.
over 400,000 finally!
They got killed by their brother
My very favourite pop song/video
"I like strangling budgies, I'm what you call an animal lover"
LMFAO!
Did he ever find out in the end who actually did kill his brother? It would be deemed a cold case if it hadent been solved by now.
I think that it was Johns dodgy mota that killed his brother.
Thats a real possibility but he claims to have actually seen the cop on the bike do it?????
Well then, his brother must have been african american.
I haven't heard this since about 1985. Probably a reason for that.
True 80's classic :)
lol the beginning is the best part of the song.
i saw this on video on trial !! luv it
Theme song to my life.
Nostradamus predicted the Mini Metro would be available with a 5 speed gearbox by 1989.
Best song ever and best dance ever👍🏼😄😄
