I love how he goes from supporting him to going on about how he'd fuck him up if he bumped into him like that hahahahaha

He's walking the wrong way down a.....you know the rest.

Bittersweet Limmphony

This is the Limmy content i'm here for

My dad hated this video because he thought that it was rude. Would love to see my father and Limmy discuss this nearly 3 decade old video.

Limmy is world class at noticing stuff 99% of folk would never notice. I bloody love it.

"five guys out for a drink who work at the same place but you can tell they're not pals pals." is such an incredible statement about my favorite band as a kid. i think that really sums up their struggles to stay together and the tension in their music.

Hear hear. Entitled people walking three abreast yapping expecting everyone else to part like the Red Sea.

Dying at "Somebody will get them."

I'm sure that's a trolley bag, not a pram.

Only just now realizing, after all this time liking this song, I've never watched more than the first few seconds of this video.

Basically as a wheelchair user this video perfectly describes my experience going through town lol

that lad needs a decent meal and some sunshine

4:58 - Limmy somehow manages to rewind the video he's watching... and rewind this video at the same time

Is nobody gonna mention this man is half giraffe half human?

Pro tip: if you see Limmy walking towards you on the pavement get the fuck out of the way

I'd never seen Limmy before today, so I thought this was going to be a Wings of Pegasus style analysis video. Not even half-way through, I literally had tears streaming down my face. Thank you Limmy! Instant fan!

I'm a 6ft2 wall of a bloke. People never get out of my way. So pretty much as soon as I was old enough to hit the 6ft mark, and I realised that this was going to be a trend, I figured out a specific tactic: Stop. Immediately stop. When someone's about to keep walking and barge into you, come to a complete halt. Either they notice, and stop, and you end up with this gloriously awkward moment where they're really, painfully conscious of you looking right at them... ...or they walk into you. And because you weren't moving at the time, it was a clear-cut case of them walking into you, and you can proclaim "It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground."

I’m crying with laughter! Tears streaming down my face. “Go, get ‘em!…Put the fag out in his fucking eyes!” My sister told me Limmy was funny, but its taken me this long to finally watch one.

Do this for as many music videos as possible. Quality.

Seas of pedestrians walking towards me part like the Red Sea. The trick? Well timed coughing.

I'll take you down the only one way street I've ever been down

This is just Edinburgh during The Fringe.

Walking down Oxford Street a few years ago, and got shoulder shunted by Claude from the Apprentice. Strong lad. Shame about the heart attack. Would probably knock him to the ground now.

I mean, the whole “I can chaaange , I can chaange” while being a massive prick is kinda brilliant

the amount of analysis Limmy puts into something like this... Like the art analysis plus looking at the directorial choices... checking to see if the girl has her keys, lookin at the band's body language... really brings a blahem to my eye

Bittersweet Blahemphony

Look for the alt version were he gets the shit kicked out of him!

Huge Verve fan. Fun fact for you Brian, in the original sketch Ashcroft wanted to have his character battered at the end. However it was ruled as being too dark so decided that he would meet up with the band instead. Also at the end of the video it leads into the Drugs don't work video as he approaches a vending machine. "Imagine the future I woke up with a scream I was buying some feelings from a vending machine"

i nearly got punched in the face in glasgow for walking down the street.

Limmy should do a remake of this as Dee Dee with The Proclaimers 500 Miles but he's apologising to anyone he bumps into

This video is genius because it perfectly captures my mood when I'm walking down the street and listening to music on my headphones and a belter of a tune comes up on the playlist.

Didnt know I needed this content. Superb

To be honest, I've definitely considered walking across the hood of cars when people just pull up onto the crosswalk like that. Well deserved

If Ed Sheeran did this he'd apologise to everyone afterwards. It wouldn't occur to him to launch that baby out of the pram. Rock is dead.

2:55 completely unhinged

Great analyses Gary.

I remember myself at the age of 6 walking in the street like that after seeing this video. It must have looked very daft... but I was just haunted by this song

I was randomly thinking about this song today. Me and Limmy are in sync lol

Wrong way down a one-way street.

Some boy... A well thought out route and plan to catch him in the crosshairs of his drive by groggerin. 🤣

High level analysis as usual! 👍

4:34 Been dreaming of her for over a quarter of a century.

Finally someone's said it. It's like he's reading my mind

Sometimes you just gotta hold your ground and stamp your right to take up some fookin space and own it "I got as much right as you coont!"

I remember this music video as a man walking down the street being ignored, I never noticed anything unusual about his behaviour. This is the first time I've seen it since I was a kid.

The two bouncer guys who laugh at him are my favourites, they see right through his insecurites. I feel sorry for his mate at the end who is incredibly self conscious about having to walk down the street next to Richard Ashcroft as he knows that he will be the one to get punched.... again. You can see him considering whether to confront Ashcroft about it when he folds and unfolds his arms, but as always its just a passing thought, which may or may not come out in a future alchohol and amphetamines ramble.

Pissing myself laughing here big man 😂😂

The worst thing is when you try and move out the way and you’re wearing a backpack and you just swing into them with it

I love how hard Limmy goes.

Once got knocked by this by Pete Burns of all people, 7ft tall in boots in Camden

So busy reminiscing in his own violent behaviour that he completely misses that woman casually land a shoulder.

I sometimes think about watching this, but then I just watch the Vindaloo video instead.

“I bet that jacket’s fucking stinking, man.” 😂

The Millport Story 😆

0:03 vs 1:46 and generally everything had me screaming laughing for several minutes this is gonna be a big one i can feel it 😂

Looks like a typical day walking down sauchiehall street

thank you

So sick of people who walk *at* you with the presumption that *you* should move out of their way. I think Richard Ashcroft taught us all a lesson here - *fuck* them. Don't move out of their way. Straight through, let them deal with the results of their own bad decisions. And manners!

Limmy's VAR analysis of this video is fucking killing me.

2:56 YAAAAAS! GET THAT PRRRRRRRRRIIIICK!!!!!!!!!

"Greener, right oan his dish" very articulate Limmy, that was fucking class

Limmy : " i like this video" whole video is nothing but him picking it apart and insulting the singer, amazing.

draws the line at pram, he's got a good heart has old Limmy

There is a Alternate Version where he gets beaten up around 5:27 Pretty sure its on youtube.

The guy deciding whether to fold his arms or not is typical of musicians. They're a shy breed dedicated to their art. That's why the front-man is almost never a musician by vocation, he's always a performer who soaks up the attention, so that the musicians can do their thing in the back. You need a cool, confident guy like Richard Ashcroft to "lead" the band (at least on stage).

Maybe he just found out Jagger & Richards are gonna be takin all this song's royalties for the next 25 years.

Quality. ♥

At a train station in London I once saw this big bloke in an expensive looking suit bump into this small bookish looking woman and almost knock her over. He said "Move for fuck sake." then went back to talking on his phone. He acted like she was SO beneath him. I could feel my pulse thumping everywhere. I'd never gone from totally calm to raging so quickly. I timed it perfectly so that he was next to a wall when I smashed my shoulder into his and started shouting "MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" hahaha. He was like "WHO ARE YOU!???" I wish I would have said "I'm batman baby!"

LOL the 'windae bit' 😂

9:02 - I thought this back then, I think it now. Ashcroft just looks like he's slept at the Biffa depot

The sound of the summer

I read somewhere a few years back that the original idea was for the whole band to be walking down the street. Limmy would’ve lost it!

Ah bet THEY SHOOOOOES are stinkin 🤣🤣🤣

So good.

fascinating pronunciation of jacket at the end there

Brilliant

Wow. Limmy just made me laugh at the phrase ''man stabbed 20 times in the street''. How did that happen?

The work pals walk side by side with each other because they aren't comfortable enough to show that they arent paying attention to each other 100% of the time in order to be friends. They also do the speedwalk because the enjoyment of their experience isn't just being in the company of each other so they kinda want to speed up the night to get it over with.

GET IM !

That was a shopping trolley/ buggy that the Ole dears put their bags in

I swear I've seen a version of this where he gets battered at the end and is singing on the deck, and no it wasn't Fat Les.

brilliant

Quality commentary.

peak limmy that he would get fixated on the guy being rude 😂

Limmy should recreate this doon sauchiehall st at 3pm on a Saturday

Banger tbf

I just take my phone out if someone isn’t gonna acknowledge my space. Take it out and let them feel my core strength 😂

From my home town this band

It's 5am in Edinburgh and I'm shaking the bed laughing while trying not to wake up my wife.

Before this vid came out I used to play game with me friend of we're not moving when walking don street, guess what? We always moved to let people by, too polite not to! Then this vid came out and I would love to do this.

This is the greatest analysis of a video ive ever seen.

If this were Limmy's alter-ego Craig, that pram would have been hoofed into the road in front of a bus.

Has anyone mentioned to Limmy the uncut version where he gets the shit kicked out of him?

I always wondered what “im here in my mo “ meant. But now I don’t care

makes me think about those groups say in a line of 6 that don't move asside for you and expect you to move. Walk through them i say!!!

Grog on his dish 😂 yas man

Limmy's such a chilled out pacifist.

Limmy’s got a wee hulk hogan growin on the top lip there

Limmy, watch the alternative version of this video. You'd prefer that one I think.
