Kids today don't understand how much Kwee's music spoke to kids like me back in the dark days of the 1990s, living in the ruins of Thatcher's Britain, I lived in a wheelie bin on a council estate and this really spoke to my life.
@@nickgeorgiou123 Odd comment, seeing as 1. This sketch I love is from the mid 90s, and 2. I said that Im a huge Jamiroquai fan. Yeah, still love them.
Simon s a real genius .. When this first aired JamiroqWHY had been in the papers fr crashing 2 Ferraries filming a video abroad .. I felll of the sofa in Hysterics when I saw this ..Comic Geniius cheers for downloading it mate , Very funny still :D
It's such a perfect satire of Britpop. How music journos were touting it as a musical revolution, but bands like Oasis were just writing songs like the Beatles.
Louis Balfour - an affectionate parody of Old Grey Whistle Test host "Whispering" Bob Harris. John Thomson has also said there's a bit of the late great Tony Wilson in there as well.
Yes, there's definitely a bit of Wilson's voice there (although both he and Thomson are Mancs, so that probably stands to reason) as well as his occasional lapses into pretension.
Watch how fast Paul Whitehouse licks his lips on the flute at 1:40 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a killer sketch, couldn’t stand Jay Kay so I loved this sketch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's also the one where he throws his arm up everytime he hits the bongo drum and has a stupid smile on his face 😁 it's the old Paul Whitehouse magic he brings to the scenes he's in 👍
I'm a fan of Jamiroquai too, although I cannot listen to Jay Kay without thinking of this sketch. Like most of the best humour, it helps to have some affection for the subject being taken the piss out of.
Nobody seems to have pinned down exactly who Louis Balfour is based on. Could be a number of people, but the first time I ever saw this I immediately thought of Tim Rice when he introduced 'Friday Night, Saturday Morning' back in the late 70's and early 80's. As an aside, if I had a Ferrari, I wouldn't want chocolate on the seats either! :)
Does any kind person have all of the fast show, the specials and the things they did for fosters? I've got almost everything but I still find skits here and there I hadn't seen before. I'd even pay money just to own everything. Also, same with The Harry Enfield Show. I can get Harry Enfield and Chums which is what the show became after season 1 but that original season I can't find fucking anywhere.

You had a wheelie bin? You were lucky!!.....
Luxury!
I used to love recording this onto tape from the radio whilst reading ripped up porn mags in the park bushes.
@@Wykesidefruitmachine I wonder whatever happened to the Porn Fairy? You never see the mag pages fluttering about any more.

@@colinsweeney2628 yeah I know I am tired
This sketch and Indie Club always have me in stitches. Also always loved Monkfish.
100%
Any resemblance to Jay Kay is purely deliberate.
Paul Whitehouse on flute + Simon Day's dancing at the end - utter genius.
And Johnny Depp on keyboard.
@@randomaccessfemale That's Charlie Higson with a wig on.

Pissed myself when I saw this, the dance!
My all time favourite segment. I'm a huge Jamiroquai fan and this is just SO on point.
It's been a long time since I've seen this one. It's even better than I remembered!
Same!😆😂😅😄😀😃
Hopefully this sketch made you realise what pretentious shite they were

Sums up the utter nonsense of Jay K perfectly 😂
MUM! 😂😂
Like many of us
This isn’t just a Jamiroquai send up, the interview is pure Jools Holland.
It's a great Jools Holland impression
Both very much the same beast.
A brilliant two for one send up: he nailed Holland
More whispering Bob Harris, I felt....
@@losttango silly
Possibly the greatest skit on fast shows jazz club ever! Still cracks me up!
"Jazz Club" is definitely their best invention. Some of the backing musicians are superb!
The acid skiffle line slays me.
It's either this or Indie Club.
"Desolate Shore" is a great one too.
Gotta be Jackson Jeffrey Jackson for me!
Acid skiffle...gets me every time, even though I know it's coming. Great.
Throwing Jay Kay shapes at the end
Fast Show was just class. So funny. Me and my mates used to watch it religiously, getting pissed before heading out.
Same. Those were good days eh? ❤
Simon s a real genius ..
When this first aired JamiroqWHY had been in the papers fr crashing 2 Ferraries filming a video abroad ..
I felll of the sofa in Hysterics when I saw this ..Comic Geniius
cheers for downloading it mate , Very funny still :D
Paul Whitehouse as the flute guy is the funniest shit ever
J-Kay and hypocrisy - the Fast Show team had him sussed straight away didn't they?!
Simon Day is a comedy god. This and Indie Club featuring the uncompromising 'COLON!!!' are probably my favourite Fast Show sketches.
It's such a perfect satire of Britpop. How music journos were touting it as a musical revolution, but bands like Oasis were just writing songs like the Beatles.
Live at the Dublin Castle 😂😂
@@rudolphclancy8293only oasis wrote songs like the Beatles and I've never heard Paul McCartney mention them
Kwee was misunderstood and is one of the forgotten greats.
His final 38 albums where amongst his best, especially "Brother, I Ain't kiddin'" and "Long-time Know Kwee".
@@davelordyunderrated comment, just like Kwee himself.
Simon Day's dance at the end never fails to crack me up
Got inside my glove compartment, got inside my head😂
"MOM! She's gone again" cracks me up every time.
He's English, it's "MUM!"
@@Hellwyck unless you're from Birmingham
Litererally EVERYTHING about this sketch is perfect! :D
I genuinely have tears in my eyes. I lost it at the Ferrari reference.
Easy running rasta..my new greeting
"MUM!........gone again!" :-D
"Well for me, young lion...." Hahahaaaa!!!
i come back again and again for the 'young lion' line.too much... hahahahah!
-and 1.42.
Is that completely fabricated, or is young lion a term that is used somewhere and I am missing a joke?
@@williamsands5519 I think it's just all in the delivery and timing.
@@reelloopy 1.42 is incredible
I literally think about this every day.
It's actually a very good parody, musically speaking.
Philip Pope again? He's a genius
Their Oasis one was bang on too! th-cam.com/video/9FRAeFyBX1w/w-d-xo.html
Better than the real thing.
If I'm feeling down... This is the sketch I come to watch. Absolute class! 👌
I didn't want this track to end. 👍🇬🇧
This is perfect. I love musical parodies where the music actually works. Acid skiffle 😂

The delivery is Bob Harris, but the pseudo-intellectual pretentiousness is all Tony Wilson.

If you hate JayKay .... there's a video of him getting headbutted by a man here on youtube
He even got his little posh boy lisp down to a T and Paul Whitehouses facial expression and licking his lips playing the flute…classic skit 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its the dance at the end which gets me... Still genius
His brother, Mark, is making a tidy living selling big tents.
Stupendous. I actually invented acid skiffle years before this but Jeremy is such an exemplary exponent I can bear no grudge.
I think the acid skiffle is an Arthur Atkinson call back.
As a huge Jay Kay fan i laughed so much i had a little wee. I hope he has seen it.
I'm a fan of Jamiroquai too, although I cannot listen to Jay Kay without thinking of this sketch. Like most of the best humour, it helps to have some affection for the subject being taken the piss out of.
If Carlsberg did a send up of Jamiroquai .... it still wouldn't be as hilariously accurate as this one 🤣😂
Am i the only one who wants to hear the full song of this 😄
The melted chocolate on the seats of my Ferrari bit is such a hook that it deserves a full song
That dance at the end tho 🤣 😂
Was that Clam on bass??
@2:04 "This week I'm mostly rearranging furniture"
Watch this every day. Cheers Fast Show.
Acid skifle - Great line!
We've all been there "Said I don't need no melted chocolate on the seats ma Ferrarrrrriiiiii" whilst driving a VW Caddy.....and now I really must go.
I genuinely want to learn the chords to this song on my keyboard right now. The music itself is really good, as well as the comedy aspect.
Brilliant piss take. And possibly the seed that grew into the whole Brian Pern / Thotch thing. 🙂
God where has comedy gone 🙌
Jay Kay getting headbutted brought me here
I chose to be here but know I need my fix of jay Kay getting Glasgow kissed .
I've been looking for this - thanks for posting
There were several sketches in Fast Show that could have been made into a series on there own.
Overflowing with ideas.
Bloody Hell.this is magnificent. 😅
well young lion...😂
Cockles is so funny ... love his work
Absolutely funny as fuck...damn I miss those 90’s days
The great thing is, Jay kay has a great sense of humour and i bet he pissed himself laughing when he saw this 😂😂
It's so spot on!😂😂😂
So many of the songs the Fast Show made up for sketches like this were actually pretty good
Acid skiffle 🤣
Am crying with laughter....🤣
Will always be comedy gold
easy runnin' rasta........hahahaha!
J K is incredibly talented but also incredibly pretentious and annoying . This is spot on .
Minus the talent
He had a kick-ass backing band....... Dunno about HIM being "incredibly talented" himself.
Acid Skiffle - Grrrrrrrreat!
This must surely be where the idea for Brian Pern began...
My mother is the wind 🤘
Mum!?
Thing is, we’d all pay to see him
Jamiroquai and Genesis P Orridge - The love that dare not speak its name.
Paul Whitehouse at 1:29 LOL.
Paul Whitehouse at 1:39 😂😂

According to John Thomson, he was allegedly based on "Whispering" Bob Harris from his Old Grey Whistle Test days.
@@ZuluRomeo That's right, he said in the 2020 Fast Show Documentary that it was a mix of Bob Harris and Sir Roger Moore
@@WalsallGooner Niiiiiiiiiiiice
He's a blend of Bob Harris' delivery and Tony Wilson's ego.
I don't need no melted chocolate on the seats of my ferrari 😜
Acid skiffle 😂
Aciiiiiiid Skiffle sorry that's the best description of music ever
You lion! Absolute genius.
What a great song..... Nice
Such great parody. The best ❤
My favourite part of the fast show😂👍
Nigel Kennedy meets Jamiroqaui.
Kumquat. (Acid-skiffle) 🤣🤣🤣
And sounded just like Jules Holland
Wearing a bison on your head does that to a man.
Does any kind person have all of the fast show, the specials and the things they did for fosters?
I've got almost everything but I still find skits here and there I hadn't seen before. I'd even pay money just to own everything.
Also, same with The Harry Enfield Show. I can get Harry Enfield and Chums which is what the show became after season 1 but that original season I can't find fucking anywhere.
I ended up buying all The Fast Shows DVDs on ebay cos it was so hard to find anywhere else, but even at that bot everything made it to DVD
@@cruachan1191 yeah same man
jus the greatest , young lion😂😂😂
Also known as Kay Jay, he produced such songs as "Insane Virtuality"
What's the song? So groovy
It’s just a song written for the sketch...Phillip Pope did all of the music for Jazz Club and the Fast Show
Car pollution hypocrisy
Easy, running Rasta
What does that mean, anyway? I'm American and just have never heard that addressed at someone.
@@williamsands5519 It's a jazz thing, you wouldn't understand. Cool😏

Years ago he played Fat Bob in Coogan's "Paul Calf Diaries"

No it’s monkfish
channeling Jools Holland
Four bars in, they were pissed and so was I.
Perfect skit of Pretentious Guardians of the Planet, worshipped the moon wind and trees, ie Tw@ts
Young lion 🦁
At 1:45 is that Johnny Depp? I know he’s a huge fan of the show (& Paul Whitehouse in particular) and guest starred once.
th-cam.com/video/LT-b1qXznKI/w-d-xo.html
Charley Higson.
This is actually a take that against the lead singer of Jamiroquai.
For being "Pretentious, egocentric and hypocritical."
y'know, it just gets funnier when you explain it, thank you
Probably the last of great British comedy
The dance 😂😂😂😂
Fantastic. Isn't it? ✌🏼️
Niiiice!
"Acid Skiffle" 🤣
Ft. Johnny Depp on keys!
No that was Charlie Higson dude😁😁
Mum!! Lol
This show was genius from start to finish. Now we have to watch overpaid comedians air horseshit
Enter David Walliams and James Corden 😑
