- Two things about Sheriff Fatman. First. They DON'T sing the words "more anuses than Klaus Barbie".
Secondly, at the end of the song on this clip, Mssrs Morrison and Carter go off on a riffola spree. But it is NOT the riff to Down Down by Status Quo as much as it sounds like it. The fact you can sing "down down deeper and down" to it don't enter into it. It's a dead argument. It has ceased to be. It was improv. Okay?
This is Les Fruitbat Carter and Jim Bob Morrison.... otherwise known as Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine playing for many their signature song, Sheriff Fatman at their Brixton Academy 1991 gig.
All the fans worth anything have the actions down to this one.
This is official (non mobile phone their weren't any then, or if they were they were too big and incapable of taking footage) footage of the gruesome twosome in their heyday.
Starting off as Jamie Wednesday... they made their name with a distinctive style of power pop, fusing samples, sequenced basses and drum machines with rock 'n' roll guitars and off-beat wordplay-loaded lyrics. They reached the height of their fame in 1991 and 92. Over the following years the band took on new members, topping out as a six-piece, but struggled to regain their earlier popularity. They initially split up in 1998 after releasing seven albums.
They have come together for one off gigs, the last being sell out gigs in London in November 2009, titled "The Drum Machine Years". Over the course of two nights the band played their first four albums in their entirety, plus encores.
Now the USMs are back for two concerts in November, 2011 at Brixton and Manchester, known as Norf and Sarf 2011. It'll be RUBBISH!
Now, Sheriff Fatman started out
In business, a granny farmer
He was infamous for fifteen minutes
And he appeared on Panorama
But then he somehow got himself on board
The Starship Enterprise Allowance Scheme
With a Prince of Wales award
For pushing Valium and amphetamines
Moving up on second base
Behind Nicholas Van Wotsisface
Six foot six and a hundred tons
The undisputed king of the slum
More aliases than Klaus Barbie
The master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
Just about to take the stage
The one and only, hold the front page
Fatman's got something to sell
To the capital's homeless
At the Crossroads Hotel
For the no-fixed-aboders
Where you can live life in style
You can sleep in a closet
And if you flash him a smile
He'll take your teeth as deposit
There's bats in the belfry
The windows are jammed
The toilets ain't healthy
He don't give a damn
He chuckles and smiles
Laughs like a madman
Born again Rachman
Here comes Sheriff Fatman
With his Valium, amphetamines
His sick notes and his phony prescriptions
And just when you thought it was safe
To go back into the kitchen
Dead legs and cracked heads
Bunk-beds and breakfasts
Wake up you sleepy heads
Check this
Moving up on second base
Behind Nicholas Van Wotsisface
Six foot six and a hundred tons
The undisputed king of slum
More aliases than Klaus Barbie
The master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
Just about to take the stage
The one and only, hold the front page
Moving up now to take the place
Of Nicholas Van Wotsisface
Six foot six and a hundred tons
The undisputed king of the slums
More aliases than Klaus Barbie
The master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
In a hatchback from Notre Dame
The one and only Sheriff Fatman
There goes another left hook and now I'm losing my patience
Someone call up Roger Cook and the United Nations
He's buying up houses for the has beens and helpless
From Lands End to South end to Chelsea
There's bats in the belfry
The windows are jammed
The toilets ain't healthy
He don't give a damn
He just chuckles and smiles
Laughs like a madman
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Sheriff Fatman
Sheriff Fatman, Sheriff Fatman, Sheriff Fatman, brainchumps - Hudba

Absolutely amazing live,awesome band,takes me back to better days I saw them at Blackburn 92,I will cherish it forever.
Thirty years ago. WTF. It feels like yesterday. I want to go back in time to then.
Awesome. Saw Jim Bob and Fruitbat perform 3 years ago, still going strong. Nothing can beat this Brixton concert from 30 years ago though
Come on EMI - put this out on DVD so we can throw away the VHS
I had this show on cassette, recorded off the radio. God knows where it is now.
They have morphed into Sleaford Mods. Both amazing

My god I wish I had seen them.
i knew it wasnt anuses !! ... plus i saw them in norwich in 1990 it hink , an they sang this. kin excellent show
take a look at that mosh pit: common-place 20 years ago - gigs always appear rather tame nowadays...
With fookin cameras everywhere nowadays.
20 yrs of a generation being brought up with cotton gloves , my heart bleeds for them with no festivals this year , the Wokey Generation !
@@MrTHERIGHTVIEW having been in a slipknot gig at download umm no :P It still goes on
Have you seen them at phoenix festival, the crowd were fcki n insane
Cabbage gigs were pretty much like this till the day they disbanded
Immortal
Never got much better did it kids?
No mate, it never did. 😔
I can't believe anyone ever misheard those words.
It's "More ALIASES than Klaus Barbie."
The best venue and gig of all time ,even after being butted by a stage diver with size twelves
I was curious and I searched " tons of anuses" in youtube - this was the 1st thing to pop up
Brixton + Carter + Carter fans = amazing
830Smudger I was it this one, Smudger, great gig!
😜
i was at this show too :)
See kids, how much more fun gigs were before people started bringing expensive phones to them :-)
Am in the crowd somewhere
2014, the ultimate Gig!
at 2:27 thats my brother
more aliases than....do people really think he says anuses?
...because our generation actually gave a fuck about something. Grungers, ravers, hip hop heads...whoever.
