The irony is that DJ Derek, featured here, was a fixture of the Bristol music scene, DJing reggae, ska, rocksteady, dancehall and R&B for over 50 years. Over the past two decades, he had become a national cult figure, playing to packed venues across England. Beyond the novelty value of a white former accountant playing Jamaican music, his love of the music and culture was sincere and profound.
DJ Derek!!! Reminds me of escorting my mum to the Bristol Social Services christmas party as she had a broken leg. Derek was DJing, mum ended waving crutches in the air on the dancefloor!
I remember the moment when i saw and heard this song. was when i was watching BBC entertainment channel, the Jhonnatan Ross show, man, since that moment this song is a #1 hit for ever!!!!!!! so cool. Colombia in the house baby!!!
i get the sense dizzee would be pretty cool to anyone hanging out with him. he's got a great sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously cause he, and everyone else, knows he's the shit.
straight up dizzees best tune, guarenteed to get u goin on the dance floor :) if your wallet aint fat dont worry about it if ur car dont work we can go without it we dont need wheels just the will to party il take u there dont doubt it...

Dizzee Rascal always does weird shit but somehow always makes a banger out of it.
Life's too short to be livin' with stress
I'm too young to be all depressed
Something to live by :)
I need health care.
Don't care about VIP

This is the best song that has ever reached my ears. Such a positive underlying message to just have fun and be happy 😊
Man this takes me back! Remember going clubbing & this tune coming on. Can't believe it's been 13 years! Absolute tune still!
R.i.p DJ Derek, keep the turntable turning forever man
SUCH AN UNDERRATED TUNE! AMAZING SONG
Totally agree, sorry for late reply.
@@pc2726 9 years 🤣🤣
@@elliotguiver7592 Better late
This is so brithishly funny😂😂😂
Omg!
I just realized that this music video was made in the hall next to the church my nan goes to in Crofton Park.. so cool.
i used to hate dizzee rascal for some reason but now i see hes just a hilarious legend with great tunes
When an album's called 'Tongue 'n' Cheek' you know you're in for a ride.
Why the hatred back then?
Time flies
Maybe you prefer him when he does good cheesy songs like this instead of when he done grime.
How can you hate him? He's a legend
Just remembered this song out of nowhere
Oh we all do my friend
I wish dizzee rascal would make a comeback. Where did he go to? Use to love him.
you need to hear his new ep
Charlene Nolan 86 seen him on a ladbrokes ad there a few months ago , I used to love him aswell still do 😂
I too, I do love that he was able to renew old school style into current rap style
He was arrested after he assaulted a woman at her home or his home. He appealed and lost.
The woman is called cassandra Jones.
RIP DJ Derek. Legend
the old lady that he danced with LIVES IN THE FLAT BELOW MINE!!!!!!!
Spin her
that DJ is a legend in london. Plays at the nottinghill arts club and other spots. Always brings the right vibe. good times!
Respect to DJ Derek! May he rest in power.
Dj deark is my uncle
I remember the moment when i saw and heard this song. was when i was watching BBC entertainment channel, the Jhonnatan Ross show, man, since that moment this song is a #1 hit for ever!!!!!!! so cool. Colombia in the house baby!!!
This video never gets old! I still love it!
It always picks me up...such a great video
Mad respect for casting DJ Derek!
My uncle
I love listening to this before going out for drinks. I sets my mood right ;)

Love how dizzy doesn't mind making a knob himself XD I respect that
Completely forgot about this until it came on in my gym recently. Can’t believe it came out ten years ago 😩😩
Dj derek.... Bristol Legend.. gone but NEVER forgotten. My babbers.. 😎😎
this has got to be one of the best songs of the past decade
3:14 Best DANCE MOVES EVER
One of the best music vids
This has to be one of the funniest music videos
This song always comes on when i'm at work, always makes the shift go by a bit quicker!
The girl with blonde curly hair is an absolute BOMB!
Ah! Memories of youth 👵🇭🇲
'Drink till we can't stand up then vomit'. My life
i get the sense dizzee would be pretty cool to anyone hanging out with him. he's got a great sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously cause he, and everyone else, knows he's the shit.
@Adolf Hitler leave it to Hitler to burst my naive ideological bubble 😅
straight up dizzees best tune, guarenteed to get u goin on the dance floor :)

Life's too short to be livin' with stress
I'm too young to be all depressed
I can't complain, I'm highly blessed
And there's one thing that I want to get off my chest
I'm free as a bird, I'm high as a kite
I could do what I want, and I'm doing alright
That's why I just might celebrate tonight
And if you ain't down with it, then get on your bike
To sank elsewhere, who the hell cares
I'm in great shape, you need health care
If you can't say something nice, then keep quiet
Or come to the club, there's girls there
I'm goin' to rave 'til six in the mornin'
I can already hear the bassline callin'
Just make up your mind, stop stallin'
And don't be half assed, 'cause I'm all in
So if your wallet ain't fat, don't worry about it
Your car don't work, we can go without it
We don't need wheels, just the will to party
I'll take you there, don't doubt it
(Dance, I'll take you there)
Disco, disco, disco, disco
(Dance, I'll take you there)
(Dance, I'll take you there)
Disco, disco, disco, disco
(Dance, I'll take you there)
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
You wanna drink? It's on me
Coca-cola, JD
I don't care about VIP
'Cause the middle of the dance floor's cool with me
I wanna shock tonight
I wanna rock tonight
Come love, let me be the robot tonight
So many damn girls lookin' hot tonight
So before I leave here, I wanna cop tonight
So I can't just stand up against the wall
Try'na play it cool, feelin' like a fool
Like I'm scared to dance, 'cause I ain't scared at all
So there's no point lookin' all miserable
So I've got a big grin on my face
And my hands on a pretty girl's waist
Beer budget and champagne taste
But I feel like I'm running this place
So if your wallet ain't fat, don't worry about it
Your car don't work, we can go without it
We don't need wheels, just the will to party
I'll take you there, don't doubt it
(Dance, I'll take you there)
Disco, disco, disco, disco
(Dance, I'll take you there)
(Dance, I'll take you there)
Disco, disco, disco, disco
(Dance, I'll take you there)
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Come, follow me to the place
We can party all night, yeah
Leave your worries behind (let's party)
We've only got your star if only for tonight (show the world!)
Show the world you can shine (that's right!)
Everyone's happy so there'll be no drama tonight
There's always yours to define
So let down your hair and prepare for the time of your life
The time of your life, yeah
Brrrrrrr-aaaah!
Oooooooh-aaaah!
I'm feelin' myself right now
Really revealin' myself right now
I'm actin' a fool, and I think it's all good
I wouldn't be nowhere else if I could
I don't ever wanna go home, let's stay
Party all night and party all day
What do you say? Tell me you're on it
Drink 'til we can't stand up, then vomit
Quicker than a comet, I feel like a star
Everyone waves, they know who we are
So much love, so much dread
Tell me you don't feel like a tomboy
In fact don't tell me nothing, just skank
'Cause I got a shawty and shizz in the bank
No need to thank, the pleasure is mine
We should try do this again some time
And if your wallet ain't fat, don't worry about it
Your car don't work, we can go without it
We don't need wheels, just the will to party
I'll take you there, don't doubt it
(Dance, I'll take you there)
Disco, disco, disco, disco
(Dance, I'll take you there)
(Dance, I'll take you there)
Disco, disco, disco, disco
(Dance, I'll take you there)
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go-o-o-o
