This takes me back to a time when the entire pub would be singing this, and we`d all be banging our glasses on the tables and stamping our feet to the chorus. Great atmosphere.

Τhen you have not heard punk song.listen for a start DEMOB-no room for you and RIOT CLONES-death to humanity .better yet all PUNK AND DISORDERLY ALBUMS GREETINGS FROM GREECE.
This was played as the last song of the night in my local pub. The logic was, who would fight after singing Nellie the Elephant? Never had any trouble walking home from that pub.
Their version of Toccata & Fugue is both an hilarious poke at rock musicians and their classical pretensions And shows that Olga and co. are seriously talented musicians. It takes a lot of chops to parody at that level!

17 years old (1984) this video on MTV made me discover the Toy Dolls, great band! And now 38 years later I still listen to them every now and then when I'm in the mood for some speedy punk.
My Dad bought this and used to play it all the time, my Nan wasn't amused as she hated this song. Now, whenever I play it, I can hear my Nan go, "Oh no, not this flaming record..." Hahah, fond memories. Miss her so much x
2024, working from home, possibly the worst quality video on YT but it's made my fackin' day, this was on a compilation tape in my car with my kids growing up and has become an iconic tune in our world. Bring back 1984.
"mad as a box of frogs" this is a new expression to me. I can envision how appropriate it is, when all those slimy things are crawling on top of each other. Well done. Permission to use the expression again and again and again and again for the rest of my life. Cheers. Also reminds me of the DUKES OF STRATOSPHERE "Have you seen Jackie? He's a strange strange strange little girl Make up on his face and his hair in curls Have you seen Jackie? She's a strange strange strange little boy Her long black beard is her pride and joy And all the children follow him around And all the grownups try to drag her down So we sing Hey, leave Jackie alone Hey, his pigeons have flown Hey, she's never at home at all these days Leave Jackie alone . . .
@@shadeauGU as an american, this seems exceptionally British. Our punk wasn't anywhere close to this. I still love it though, and it follows the same lines; just a lot different
Here because I'm making my funeral playlist too. This song has so many fun times associated with it. Most of them were me and my best friend cheating death (or arrest) in one way or another. Cheers to your granddad!
My band Bomb opened for them in Germany in very early 90s. Crazy show, and one of the more fun bands we ever played with. TOY DOLLS! TOY DOLLS! TOY DOLLS! TOY DOLLS! TOY DOLLS! TOY DOLLS!
Anyone else crack up with laughter everytime the chorus kicks in? A big smile forming as they go 'ooooh' in the lead up, the burst out laughing when the dance moves kick in, ending with the rib-tickling kick by the singer?
Randomly came across this video and had never heard the song before... BLOWN AWAY. That was awesome. The budget made video is perfect. Can't help but smile watching these guys rock. God bless cool punk bands like the Toy Dolls.
Sadly, I didn't appreciate this at the time, but having never owned a telly in my life, finding this video on t"internet changed my view completely! Better a few decades late than never, I guess.😺
@@faustinreeder1075 easy not to like YOU, these guys are great this is a 3 piece band, you have any idea how hard that is to pull off? Sorry, I am a bass player, and i can see this is a lot harder then it looks.
i was sitting here, feeling very depressed and cried and then i remembered this song.. now i'm sitting here, still depressed but with a dumb smile on my face
You have to give the UK justice here, it has a long, long glorious history of eccentricity, going back centuries. It is one of things that makes me most proud of my country..!
I feel sorry for my husband since he came here. I got him a dog cause he knew no one, and got into a fight with someone doing work on the house. The guy threatened to shoot him. He came home from the store and the street was blocked with SWAT. Them someone got shot in the front yard and another couple doors down. He says we are like savages.
Oh SWAT was there because some guy shot someone and took off into the second floor of a bar and was shooting people out the window, what a dummy. That's a for sure death sentence
I will tell you what. H my husband scared the hell outta these punks. My husband is thirty years older than they were, he was walking his dog and one came up behind him the other was yelling at him. Damn. Damn. Those kids didn't expect that, they thought was gonna be easy. They didn't expect a old English man going think you're tough do ya! I could hear him at home, I was like wtf! They didn't know what to do, they almost apologized. Geez
This song no matter how crap you feel or how bad a day you have had is guaranteed to cheer you up and make you smile heard it tjis afternoon on the radio had it on full blast in my wagon... Happy for the rest of the day👍😂😆😆

Way back in the day, in the states, my friend and I used to have to blind buy punk albums. And we found a lot of good bands that way (Thankfully). For whatever reason we couldn't find Toy Dolls on anything other than vinyl, and he was the only one between us who had a turntable. As soon as we discovered them, he started buying up every album by them that we could find, and we used to sit and listen to them all day. Because of that, they're in my top three punk bands of all time. Toy Dolls, just like Punk, will never die!
Fond memories of "dancing" to this at the school xmas disco circa 1984/1985... upon the opening chords all the girls left the floor as they knew what was coming !! a giant free for all at the chorus bit !! ..great fun !!
My 3 year old son loved this (UK Number 1 Christmas 1984). He did the moves and everything. Took me hard to watch this because 3 years ago he died of a heart attack but those times were good.
We used to go mental at middle school disco to this, teachers chasing us round trying to stop us jumping off tables and throwing crisps about 😂😂😂never realised it was a punk song, it all makes sense now.
I have easily seen more than 100 gigs and without question the Toy Dolls was the best Gig I ever saw, helped by the fact that the venue was called "The Beer Keller" so we where drinking Shtines. Olga is the best guitarist imaginable and seeing him laying flat on his back in/under one of those modular "Hop-Up" stages ripping out fabulase guitar is something I will never forget. I could say more about this fabulas act but special mention must go to their fans who know their place in the show as they partly created it.
I live in Benidorm, a karaoke hotspot, sometime back after a few beers I got up and did this, I'm no singer, but love the fun of it and give it my all, now when I walk into a bar I hear 'give us Nellie', god they must all be hearing deficient.
Been a hero of mine for,since first play in the UK.Plastic has been with me thru all of my darkest times and my happiest. So he is hugely appreciated by me.
Als Angehöriger der Bundespolizei neulich nachts ein paar ältere Fußballfans aus England bei uns in Fulda am Bahnhof Fulda angetroffen. Die Jungs waren gut dabei und man kam ins Gespräch. Einer von Ihnen erwähnte nebenbei, dass er in den 80ern als Roadie bei den Toy Dolls gewirkt hätte. Als ich ihm zu verstehen gab, dass ich von der Gruppe den Song Nelly the elephant kennen würde, waren die Jungs völlig aus dem Häuschen und haben sich tierisch gefreut.
Just love this song! Living in Berlin back in the 80ies this was a must-play in the little indi 'Linientreu' club... the dance floor was full with punks, rockabillies, goths and newwaves, dancing all together in 'harmony' ✌
I can actually remember being a toddler and loving this, I can remember singing it with my grandma with me in the back of the car, I loved the 'bridge' part best obviously
I went to Ibiza in 1993 and visited a pub called the red lion wonderful pub and the dear lady that owns it is a superstar x they played this song and everyone in the place was dancing on the tables and going ballistic IT WAS AMAZING!! I’m so proud to be British......WE KNOW HOW TO HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!
Takes me back, to a young lad away from home training for the army in Winchester. We would head to the pub on a Saturday and they had a video jukebox and this track was played to death.
Wir hatten das Vergnügen die Jungs in den 90ern in Berlin life zu sehen. Das war so cool. Da es ja ein Punkkonzert war war entsprechendes Publikum vor Ort. Aber wir als nicht Punks wurden geduldet und es gab keinen Stress. Es hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht. 😊
Mmm. Me and my mates were shown the door at a new years eve party too. The girl who'd invited us's father was the local grammar schools headmaster. We then gate-crashed another party up the road.....that my mum and dad were at!
I loved this song as a little kid and so I used to play this for my 2 eldest kids in 2005 when this was released on this compilation album and they loved it, and still do! ❤

I grew up listening to the Toy Dolls with their album "Dig That Groove, Baby" and later with "We're Mad". Both excellent albums, still in the shoppes. They sound better than ever!
i live in the province , half rural ,half suburbian ,and we have a dance temple that is well ..,kind of regional attractive to people cause we have a good booking and are actually legendary for our 40 years legendary history , still people drive hundreds of miles to get to us , even across the border .we had a big night out yesterday and how the moshpit is swaying when the Toy Dolls come on it is something else
This was played at my mates wedding few years back 😂 what a day 15 ex British forces lads met up and got rather drunk 😂 the groom ex Para sat very nervous 😂 till he loosed up after a few and his wife looked and thought who have I married he played a blinder until we got him to the bar and all the stories came out about our exploits from various parts of the world belter of a day 👍
36 years later and still f***ing awesome!
T R U E
40 now. I am just a year older than this song but always reminds me of being a kid where this was more popular than the other versions
At least one iconic getting on my nerves song :)

many thanks
My dad too, mate.
Sometimes music is just fun. I'd forgotten about this gem, but it made me smile as much as the first time I heard it.
My mum used to sing me this every night before bed. She was a 70 London punk rocker, but she sang the lulaby version
alright son, a lullaby, **tunes guitar**
Just imagined her punching you out, unconsciousness with the dance moves...
my mum did that too. I always thought this song was an actual nursery rhyme
I sang my kids "Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn". They loved it...
@@Kazar2020 It's a relatively calm song anyways
Used to love playing this and star trekkin with my dad on my grandma's vinyl player. Rip Dad and Grandma ❤
This was played as the last song of the night in my local pub. The logic was, who would fight after singing Nellie the Elephant? Never had any trouble walking home from that pub.
a good example of music creating peace.
Can imagine what you say is true, even though the "dance" they are performing is almost like a fist fight! 😁
Cause you were carried
a smart good idea !

How can you not love Toy Dolls? !! Mad as hatters with musical talent. Brilliant!!
Their version of Toccata & Fugue is both an hilarious poke at rock musicians and their classical pretensions
And shows that Olga and co. are seriously talented musicians. It takes a lot of chops to parody at that level!

I love the Toy Dolls, saw them every time they played the US, which wasn't enough. Now a new album and a potential tour... god life just got better.
This is one more reason for me to love the British. Besides classic writers and comedy shows. My best regards from Russia.
Where has this music been all my life? Absolutely incredible!
I live in Benidorm, a karaoke hotspot, sometime back after a few beers I got up and did this, I'm no singer, but love the fun of it and give it my all, now when I walk into a bar I hear 'give us Nellie', god they must all be hearing deficient.
Go to Bennie three times a year. coming over on the 9th of August. I will bust this out at a bar
Been a hero of mine for,since first play in the UK.Plastic has been with me thru all of my darkest times and my happiest. So he is hugely appreciated by me.
Ok. Im just gonna go ahead and say it. At 40 years old, here in America, this is one of my favorite songs period.
You ROck
Als Angehöriger der Bundespolizei neulich nachts ein paar ältere Fußballfans aus England bei uns in Fulda am Bahnhof Fulda angetroffen. Die Jungs waren gut dabei und man kam ins Gespräch. Einer von Ihnen erwähnte nebenbei, dass er in den 80ern als Roadie bei den Toy Dolls gewirkt hätte. Als ich ihm zu verstehen gab, dass ich von der Gruppe den Song Nelly the elephant kennen würde, waren die Jungs völlig aus dem Häuschen und haben sich tierisch gefreut.
Just love this song! Living in Berlin back in the 80ies this was a must-play in the little indi 'Linientreu' club... the dance floor was full with punks, rockabillies, goths and newwaves, dancing all together in 'harmony' ✌
My Art/Photography teacher showed my class this (we do like a music playlist and this was what he chose). This is such a simple yet legendary song!!
Ruthless_Illusion wished we had had that teacher,brilliant!
At a metal club i went to when i was young loved this song, and would create a huge mosh pit....this song got banned frequently
Elmo182 Games and shit yes i remember that too everyone went mad lol
Got banned?! It's a work of genius!!!
Probably stage door/cosmic ballroom.
you always made me happy toy dolls guys
I love this song it always makes me smile
I can actually remember being a toddler and loving this, I can remember singing it with my grandma with me in the back of the car, I loved the 'bridge' part best obviously
Saw them yesterday on Arte Tv at Hellfest. Still amazing, happy and „not too old for this.“ Thank you for so much fun.
I went to Ibiza in 1993 and visited a pub called the red lion wonderful pub and the dear lady that owns it is a superstar x they played this song and everyone in the place was dancing on the tables and going ballistic IT WAS AMAZING!! I’m so proud to be British......WE KNOW HOW TO HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!
I´m sooo happy I was young in the 80´s and not today!
This is Gold not heard today.
2022..still loving this!!!!
Takes me back, to a young lad away from home training for the army in Winchester. We would head to the pub on a Saturday and they had a video jukebox and this track was played to death.
"The favorite song of my daughter when she was 8, now 9 years later she still remembers it and still likes it. I think I did everything right."
This song seriously makes me so happy
Wir hatten das Vergnügen die Jungs in den 90ern in Berlin life zu sehen. Das war so cool.
Da es ja ein Punkkonzert war war entsprechendes Publikum vor Ort. Aber wir als nicht Punks wurden geduldet und es gab keinen Stress. Es hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht. 😊
リリーフランキーさんのスナックラジオから来ました。女性には「オォーーオー」のようなスキャン時間が必要なこと、勉強になったと共にこの曲があの比喩とハマり過ぎて笑いましたwテンション上がる良い曲。
I remember dancing to this with my friend at his sister's new years eve party - I was never invited to another party of his family after that lol
Mmm. Me and my mates were shown the door at a new years eve party too. The girl who'd invited us's father was the local grammar schools headmaster. We then gate-crashed another party up the road.....that my mum and dad were at!
This was played at me dads funeral hard to listen to again 💔
RIP
R.I.P.
He is legend ❤️, what a wish
Your old man had a sense of humour and would have been happy to have Nellie carting him off.
@@alecsouter I mean we’re all gonna die on day might as well make a joke of it
I loved this song as a little kid and so I used to play this for my 2 eldest kids in 2005 when this was released on this compilation album and they loved it, and still do! ❤
2020 anyone? Respect to you all. I know you are all coming back in 2021.
2023 and still here!!!
2024!!
one more right here! what a blast
Hahaha pack your trunk 2020
2021
This track will still be around after 2030 🐘🐘
Yep
2021 from the states and never heard this before. Making up for it now and the wife is pissed.
Is she drunk or just annoyed? ;)
Miluji tenhle styl, vždycky jsem ho miloval a budu i jako starej chlap milovat
omg...how have I missed these guys???? I grew up in the 80's and they must have flown way under the radar...These guys are freakin' awesome and fun!
I'm 60 years old I love it
First time hearing this in like 30 years. Glorious!
My daughter is 20. She loves it as much as I do. Woooooooo! Xx
Too many "trumps" in this song and too many WHITE people having fun and this obviously makes it a real "RACIST" dog whistle, only when people start using inventions that are from their own race will we end thought crimes aka " hate speech, when Africans find out that they have invented cars, mobile phones, computers, flight and antibiotics to name a few will whitey truly know their place in world history and black Americans as the most abused people in the history of the world not having to fear traffic stops because whitey won't have a car or gun because we all know these were inventions stolen from them by whitey and can't wait for my birthing person/she/her to give birth to our first Black male presenting child,I witnessed Tyrone plant they/them resistance pole in the birthing person as I cried with joy in the corner knowing I did my bit to fight against the racists that still judge people by their content and not by their race or gender, I really hate the bigotry that stops people from seeing colour or who the sleep with, treating people the same is just so racist and we need to use the covid camps for these insane racists that are coloured blind
I grew up listening to the Toy Dolls with their album "Dig That Groove, Baby" and later with "We're Mad". Both excellent albums, still in the shoppes. They sound better than ever!
Fabulous!!! Haven’t heard this song in forever! and never seen the video! Love it!
They took the crowd by storm
Happy 2022 to who's still alive
I looooooove this, so much fun, and thanx for the other commentaries, pure laughter
Love it my mum shows me and i would be soo proud if music like this would be played still today ✊️
i live in the province , half rural ,half suburbian ,and we have a dance temple that is well ..,kind of regional attractive to people cause we have a good booking and are actually legendary for our 40 years legendary history , still people drive hundreds of miles to get to us , even across the border .we had a big night out yesterday and how the moshpit is swaying when the Toy Dolls come on it is something else
this was the first single I ever bought. It cost me £1.25.
Ironically my eldest son looks like the lead singer. Don't tell him.
Yeah, really dont
I hope he sees your comment then watch him pack his trunk ha ha ha ha
What did dad say about me?
Richard Pitwood was his mom a groupie?
Don´t feel bad mate! My first daughter is an elephant, even though we tell her that she´s a beautiful and slim rhino!!
I am so happy to relive this moment from the 80s. holy shite
words cannot describe how much i love this. It has been passed on to a new generation to my delight :-D
I can’t express enough how I like this song! 🐘
It could be 3021 and I STILL WOULD BE BACK..
Good music never dies nor get old
I can't believe I only discovered these guys today! Love it!
How to make a pub/ club full of people go absolutely bananas
XD
I love it...classic 80's vibe and madness.
This was played at my mates wedding few years back 😂 what a day 15 ex British forces lads met up and got rather drunk 😂 the groom ex Para sat very nervous 😂 till he loosed up after a few and his wife looked and thought who have I married he played a blinder until we got him to the bar and all the stories came out about our exploits from various parts of the world belter of a day 👍
Toy Dolls - od lat słuchany w Polsce! :)
Przypomina mi się dzieciństwo.
Chłopaki byli genialni! Nadal ich słucham :)
As a 15y old teen in 2022 I feel very proud of myself listening to one of my favourite songs 🙌🏼
