Don't anybody think for a minute they were a novelty act! they are incredibly talented musician's!

If anyone ever accused these guys of being sane it would be an insult. They're bloody brilliant and keep jumping back and forth across the line of madness and genius. GO TOY DOLLS!

Olga never lost his roots, despite numerous line up changes they always gave 110% what a great musician and he always picked other equally talented people to play alongside him !!! Michael Agar .. a very talented man !!!

Not only was this the most famous tune based on a movie, but this music set alone sold millions. But, it's good to know even young adults appreciate musical history, because they know older music is what made today's music. Nice job "The Toy Dolls".

One of the best punk bands ever, They should really be more famous haha

Oh my my… How could I not discovered this band before… I am 57 years old and I am glad I found this excellent band now 😊

most of my musical influences were based out of my family being from the mountains of Kentucky until I was expelled from school in the 7th grade and ship to California to live with my aunt and found punk rock. this is legit the best video I could show to explain why I am the way I am with music.

amazing, love Toy Dolls, so didn't get the recognition they deserved...full on fast as fu*k lets av it skill

Look past the humour and you have 2 fine talented men here, entertaining us, thanks for your brilliant entertainment 👍👏

There is a studio version out there you should hear. This is a little over halfway into their live show where they have given so much that they have almost worn themselves out with exhaustion. The drummer is backstage taking a shower after given ten performance's worth of energy. This performance is *meant* to be a mellow point in the middle of a thunderous show. It is not meant to wow banjo enthusiasts or to be a replacement of the original. Pity on anybody who took it the wrong way.

I'll bet Olga burns off a marathon's worth of calories in every concert. Serious energy.

Olga - a guitar god. And here it goes - IMO....he should be in the top 10 guitarists of all time! Yes I'm talking about Knopfler, Satriani, Hendrix, Vaughn, Santana, Clapton etc....I dare say it! Olga is up there!!!

I love the Toy Dolls. They were always so funny and great audience pleasers. Sundeland's finest!

Top notch musicians. Expert in playing their fave instruments, instrumental wonders, great sense of fun and a great comedy touch. All happy to take the piss while knowing they are damned good at what they do...

Original it was written by Arthur Smith, and recorded with Smith playing a 4 string plectrum banjo, accompanied by Don Reno on a 5 string bluegrass banjo. It was rearranged for the movie " Deliverance" by Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandell, and Smith was not accredited as song writer. This caused a lot of fuss, including a lawsuit that Smith won. Two of Don Reno's sons btw plays in the band Hayseed Dixie. I recommend you check them out if you like this song :)

Some people don't get it, It's a duel, both musicians trying to out do the other. This has got to be the best version of this tune ever

It doesn’t matter what sort of music it is anyone who can play an instrument like that is brilliant

I am utterly shocked how this band is nit still regarded as one of the best punk bands in the world

2018 and still listening. I remember I found my first toy tolls shirt at a random ass bodega when I visited my mom in long island new york.. Best shirt I ever had.

por muchos años que pasen ,esto es lo puto mejor del mundo, y lo he visto mas de trescientas veces.

Olga was and still is a beast of a musician and could give even Eddie Van Halen a run for his money. Didn’t know he could play banjo, but I’m not surprised! Thanks for the upload!

Hi there, that has to be one of the most entertaining versions of Duelling Banjos that I have seen. Many thanks for up loading.

I love toy dolls

i havnt listened to this song since i was a kid, my dad came to pick me up one time and introduced me to toy dolls and ive loved them ever since

I remember their concert "our last tour" - that was awesome! Damn, i'm old

Still Loving This Thank You XXX

Father Ted, Funfair Episode did a Parody of this. Such a talented plucker of any stringed instrument!

The toy dolls...will never forget them

listening just to this music you wouldn't say this is a punk rocker band! these guys are great!

Incredible, easily the most talented punk band...Period.

i can't believe that they exist...great olga

A great version of one of my favourite songs. Thanks for the upload..

Love it!! Just brilliant and amazing!! Punk Lives On!!

Fantastic Sunderland lads

Perfection!! LOVE Toy Dolls!!

Los vi allá por el 89 en la sala hippo en punkcela. Los mejores con diferencia

Never seen this before I don't know that much about these guys or there background I just knew of them through mates at school hearing a few things they did Now yrs later I'm surprised I missed the talent these guys have Mad as fook but brilliant at the same time

A great tune performed by so many artists. But the best version I ever heard was on the "Tonight Show". Doc Severenson, the band leader, played it on his trumpet. WOW!

too great to describe....after these Years i still like ya guys as much...

i was lucky enough to see the dolls in 1993 amqzing talent!

Off beat,but fantastic! That is old school picking and grinning!

Awesome! I always liked this is one. You don't hear a lot of banjo in Punk Rock...

Best version ever of this great tune, how can 72 not like it.

Never heard of them till now . Love them . 👍♥️

Perfect, really perfect like +1🖐🖐🖐

That's damn near one of the coolest things I've seen. Brilliant!

Plenty of talent with these guys..enjoyed that!!!

What a great band, its what music should be about

brilliant performance, amazing dexterity and skill.

I also remember this live..awesome stuff.

i never new those guys could play that well good musicians cheers

Qué grande Olga, qué bien me cae este tipo.

The composer begs to disagree. The piece was originally written for one 5-string and one 4-string tenor banjo. 4-string banjos are usually picked, and Arthur Smith did so on the original recording.

Super!!!!!!!!!!

Very entertaining. Thank you.

Great band these. From my neck of the woods in Sunderland. They are a lot bigger in Germany and Japan now though. I think Olga plays Bass for The Dickies now

Crianças felizes adoro esses caras

Olga's face just cracks me up!

It’s a shame all they are remembered for is nelly the elephant see them in the 80s brilliant entertainers

This is my fav all time video ... can never watch it without laughing !!

PURE CLASS, NONE BETTER!

the best happy punk band EVER!!!

Los punketos de los 80s si sabían tocar!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT xx

Timeless brilliance. Pure entertainment!

Somehow that froze me. It was bloody stunning.

I ve seen them last friday. It was awesome.!!

q chabones locos x dios, q copado un recital de estos lokos

Got turned to these guys by one of my mates back in the day also alien sex fiend and also mac lads . Awesome 😎👍

just a pair of mates enjoying a fucking good jam

From your favorite movie...Deliverance!!!!

its actually called drooling banjos!!!!!!1 Godddd

The original was a four-string plectrum banjo and accompanied by five-string bluegrass banjo. But it seems that very few ppl can play a Five string Banjo. (I base this statement simply because it always seems to be a guitar)

Tebon! You are so good on the 'Banjee' as you lot call it' i can't move for your Banjo demonstration's!

other than the film this is the best i've heard yet well done guys

Que banda... Gracias por tu trabajo bro. 🇺🇾

Guys, you are perfect ! Both of course :) !

a band i wish i could have seen in concert

Always reminds me the movie "Delivrance"!

Pure joy. And talent. Joy and talent. And skill. Joy talent and skill. And sweat. Joy talent skill and sweat. And fun. Joy talent skill sweat and fun.

I have no idea who these guys are, BUT, they love to play and it shows... even with this old song. it made me laugh, cheer and just feel good.... thanks for posting :)

I came back to laugh at Olga’s face when the public doesn’t react well to his part.

they are punx and can still play their instruments 100.9ZZFM sees bigtime talent

now that's what you call a dialogue 🤘... Plato would headbang

It's called taking the piss mate. I live in the heart of Appalachia and even I get that.

amazzin,havin fun playin an instrument pefectly,,who cares what the tune is,,,,,,,,the crowd love it,

Nothing beats the banjo

Now I know where Rob Thomas got his 3 am...the intro

I'd like to see Olga versus Captain sensible from the Damned

3:17 (L) Such a great band!

They are brilliant. Better than most high paid groups

Great absolutely they nail this and it sure is NOT easy.

I feel that inner hillbilly trying to get out. Lol.

I want to see The Toy Dolls once in my life. Here in Barcelona, Spain. I listened maybe 15 years ago one friend in the High school that one friend of him told him that...well, my High School told me that his boots were a bit of crap after the dancing, maybe from kicking or maybe from the bad tiles in the floor or the bad ground with some crackings in the concrete ground...
