If only they taught history in school like this, a lot more interesting!! There is at least a terms worth of work here.
One of those brilliant songs that are original, crafted to perfection and catchy as heck
43 years later!
@@tonymccaul7159 damn, feeling old now you said that.........
Amazing how a Glaswegian can sing in perfect London accent.
i always thought edinburgh,,,,,,any way plastic cockney!
Nice one 🤔
1979... I sat in front of the record player and listened to the single over and over again... pure childhood memory!!! I was 9 years old and didn't know what a video or a stream was at the time. I didn't even know those words... I like to remember that time...😍
Perfectly crafted and wonderfully silly pop song
Pure class! still good in 2023!
2024
2024 and for Eternity.
Fantastic. I challenge anyone to write a more perfect pop tune than this.
Love how some of the supporting cast are more in to this than others. Sherlock Homes is having a great time but the woman playing Cleopatra is giving it the full "I didn't spend six years at drama school just to end up in something like this..." vibe 😃
Caesar looks somewhere between Max Clifford and John McDonnell of Labour, dear help him
All ten look as though they were dragged off the street and told to pick a costume. Coupled with B A's hand over the mouth to mimic laughter this really is cringeworthy to watch
I know where you're coming from but I love a bit of cheese, especially when it's nostalgia. Clearly not to be taken seriously but I do genuinely love the tune! @@mjstefansson7466
They are probably reserved European people as this was a European Top of the pops. Probably Wondering who the weird guy was acting a clown with weird accent.
@@mjstefansson7466I thought it was great!
Great song. Clever lyrics. I like seeing the characters he sung about - although I still prefer the video with the pretty girls banging or bang bang-ing bin lids
Love this song - remember it well as a kid in 1979. I'd never seen this video before, only the promo clip. The smile on Cesar's face looks genuine, like he's really enjoying this. I love the way the props dance and get into the rhythm towards the end.
The HR e videos on TH-cam the official one
Yes, I've never seen this before, great stuff.
I bloody love this..
Don't make em' like this anymore 😔
Who'd have thought Jeremy Paxman was a popstar before doing Newsnight and University Challenge??!! He even got Michael Howard to dress up as Sherlock Holmes !!!!
Love the way the Marquis de Sade is foot tapping to the tune while maintaining a serious look lol.
Great song great memories. We kids were lucky
hey BA what's with the long face?
B.A. ROBERTSON WAS GREAT IN THE DAYS.
Only just realized that B.A Robertson is the spitting image of Dean Saunders [ who used to play for Liverpool}, lolol.
classic!
1:21 Ceasar -lookalike with a quizzical "am i really gonna get paid just for dressingnin this costume' look .....😂✅
More effort was put into this performance than the official promo video!
This is fun. Worth waiting 40 years to discover it. A Dutch approach,sponsored by 'UNESCO' - not really,just my approving irony.
Wheres the wee guy playing the drum?? He is brilliant😁😁
What an earworm. Great song but so cheesy. Love it
I love a bit of cheese... that's why I'm also into Abba lol
@@stevebrazilio yh me too
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER TO RESET THE LIFE FUN NARATIVE
22 but looked 40. He co-wrote mike and mechanics massive hit in uk usa australia and everywhere "living years" and made a lot of money.
I just said the same on another clip. I couldn't believe how old - or young - he was!
And wired for sound
This song is still so good in 2023 . Ps David Baddiel sulking at 0:39 because hes not allowed to make a witty remark lol
Brilllant the cast dancing in background funny wigs expressions great video song to the era super lyrics ba Robertson !!!!
BA Total legend bang bang who's very kool in his kaftan!
Love and peace, man
This timeless classic entered the UK charts near the end of the 1970s. Being old enough to remember the 1960s even that decade didn't have the complete tapestry of music as the 70s, from start to finish. Knew just how popular by work colleagues in the millennium having posters near their desks of Elvis Presley, Abba, and David Bowie. All in the charts before they were born.
I remember this Very Underrated Track Away ahead of It's time👂🛰✊
How do think it was ahead of it's time?
Fabulous in every respect
Absolutely brilliant 👏
History walk kids .Brilliant sound track. BANG BANG 🏴
A wonderful talented singer / song writer & gorgeous !! had a crush on him listened to his music a lot still do, thankyou xx
Childhood memories.great song....
Always to be a classic can put of todays to shame and you can hear all the words BANG BANG
😇❤🙏🤣💯class
Remember this song 😊😊
The mighty fell then they dow now, and will always fall.... Bang Bang !
Cheesey but catchy
I think he was only about 22 years old here. I thought he was about 40. A great record all the same.
If youre Houdini in your spare
time........
Right after this came out in '79 someone opened up a clothes shop up near my school and it was called "Bang Bang" twas very popular!
Was it in Chorley?😂
@@extonville Ha cool, could have been worse if it was called after another B.A Robertson hit called "Knocked it off" from 1979. 🤤🤤
Superb 👌👍
I've always wondered how John Fruin felt about being mentioned in this song. Maybe it was a case of all publicity being good publicity?
Under rated.
Rumoured by some to be Phil Lynott's all - White half - brother.
Oh oh
Never forgave him for writing Wired for sound 😁
He was unique
Also, mir taugt der Song." Bang,Bang"🕺
Always thought BA was a one trip wonder. He played to the camera. Nice catchy tune but the guy was no singer. Just the usual gimmick record of the time with some innuendo.
Had a few hits, Romeo & Juliette, Kool In The Kaftan, Flight 19, Saint Saens, Maggie, wrote The Living Years for Mike & The Mechanics. Also Wired For Sound and Carrie for Cliff Richard.
And the second theme for Multi Coloured Swap Shop - Hello Hello.
Funny guy.nice song...
It’s a shame Christopher Lee didn’t turn up on time
Why does he sound like an EastEnder if he is Scottish?
Love dís tune, well done b, a, Robinson 😄
That's to help English to understand us hahahaha
The budget didn't stretch to having someone dressed as a vampire. Shame....
This song makes me put all today's music on repeat
Doesn't she go down easily 😊.
Please someone just tell me you're hearing this touching song in 2024,if No-one is,that's sad as we will ALL be fighting in this material world,but it's the spiritual battle we NEED to win,so when it's MY turn I'm going to get ALL my faith, strength and courage from the Almighty & this song to align my chakra points
Learn scepticism and critical thinking; you sound very confused.
Yep good song
I saw Linda at least 2 occasions
Sad to know she's gone
Bless her 🎉
Totaal te danken aan Frits Spits dat een hitje werd...
B.a where you gone ?
Wow I used to reallyfancyhim
Me too he was a dreamboat
I love puppets🎉🎉
SUPERB video
This is even worse than I remember as a kid

& it couldn't happen 2 a nicer pair of women IE Queen Joanne Catherall ❤️ & Queen Susan Sulley ❤️. Whom I've been lucky enough 2 have met. 4a chat. 8 times in total now in Queen Joanne Catherall's case. Little does Queen Joanne Catherall ❤️ know it. But she is largely responsible 4 the best night ever of my life. Which happened in Brighton & ended up with me. Getting a free unexpected journey home from Brighton Railway 2 Portsmouth on the night in question. After I'd missed the last Southern Railway company train. & It ended up with me getting a free unexpected journey home from Brighton Railway 2 Portsmouth on the night in question.

Looking for a girl I use to know back in 1979 her name was Debbie and she lived in Blaby Leicestershire her last name I never new.... her Dad was Colin he was a lorry driver worked for Coates of Leicester and she also had a Brother.... My name his ( Crap 💩) Pete from Kettering I use to ride my motorbike over to see her on Sunday afternoon but I let her down badly and I want to say sorry.....believe me I am truly sorry.....so if anyone knows her please let her know Thanks....👍🇬🇧🤓
Was that a Top of the Pops set I'm thinking that's what it said
Yes, without Jimmy S.
iIagree more thought put into these dutch alternative live studio performances on the dutch totp
Mark Anthony is having a great time….
Haha. What a fun song. When he says ‘bang, bang’ it reminds me when other people I have known over my 83 years of life have said ‘bang,bang’.
Another great Scottish singer song writer
I loved the first Video in ( his local Pub, the Local Big haired Amateur Stunners did just great🇬🇧😚
The first band I ever saw live.. Not a bad choice.
Sorry I need to lay down.. I lay down ❤
Was eine Zeit
Why the long face, BA??
First i think that the CRAZY "MUTTI M E R K E L" ist dancing in the middle top !!!! But she isn't , she's other wise go BERSET, no go berserk !!!
Where's Johnny Fruin in that line-up?😂
They really put up a few "props" for this one......isn't it!!!!!!!
Mad long- legged popster but catchy.
Love thin lanky men with dark hair💞😍
I love 2 be or not 2 be 🎵🎵🎵
He looks older than 23.
Where is my brood ?
When this in charts i joined parras
Well well well, if you were in the parras as you say then when did they change their name from the Paras. Maybe the parras are some secretive organisation formed by Walter Mitty.🤗
Bang bang! ❤
