Mark Lamarr gives Kenzie a little helping hand in guessing the intro... Never Mind the Buzzcocks s16e09. Hilarious! .wmv file of clip available here filefactory.com/file/7bc448
This will never, ever get old. Mark Lamarr being legitimately sympathetic and fatherly to that poor, clueless kid, and then ripping "House of the Rising Sun" up like the rockstar he is. I love him so fucking much
Ridiculously late to this one, but Mark knowing the lyrics didn't surprise me at all... Phil knowing the entire backing track note for note was impressive as hell though.
gah, i've decided i love mark lamarr. this video is sooo amazing - i watched it over and over months ago and have still returned to watch again. damn, lamarr can sing!
Legend has it that Kenzie is now employed as an air rifle target at carnivals. The punters hit him more often than all the other targets for some reason.
I love this clip because it shows so clearly the difference between a genuinely cool person (Lamarr) and someone who thinks they're cool (Kenzie, or however his name is spelt. I don't know the guy)
3:17 Christ Almighty, that smug sideways look he gives, as if to say "God, this old people music is so lame. I'm so killing it right now." 'House of the Rising Sun' will be remembered for centuries while Blazin Squad are already forgotten.
I realise there's been ongoing arguments about whether or not he should have known the song, but I'm 17 and I'll admit I couldn't recognise the song from the intro, but when Lamarr started singing, it was pretty obvious. The song is hardly random, it's a classic
If you aren't into that sort of music then he wouldn't know it. And evidently Kenzie at the age judging by Blazin Squad's music wasn't. I dunno how people can't grasp this.
@@Scallion_D Was he never in a house where his parents put the radio on to 60s music from their own youth? Was he so intellectually incurious that he never heard music except in the genre he wanted to play? It's arrogance.
@@CA-ee1et Evidently not. Maybe his parents weren't music fans? My parents certainly didn't play older music in my house when I was a kid. Everyone's upbringing is different.
Well classic, in most people's vernacular means old-this was first recorded in 1934, and The Animal's version was released in 1964. To me though classic means it is a respected known song that has been around long enough and is both lyrically and vocally emotive and enjoyable. Thus, House of the Rising Sun, is a classic.
It's a classic sure but whether it still resonates to a teenager in the 2000s is another matter. Unless Kenzie seeks out classic music he wouldn't know it. It's not a song that was in the public consciousness in the 2000s for someone like him who was into urban music.
@@Scallion_D Someone who is in the music industry and releasing singles should know something of past music. Most musical genres lift directly or indirectly from past music. You can't really just record a song while knowing nothing of songs that have gone before. Even someone like me (who is never going to record a single) had the radio on in the house because my parents put it on so I know songs like House of the Rising Sun like that.
@@CA-ee1et I get he was in the music industry but he was in a boyband, he wasn't a serious musician. Once they broke up, he hasn't stayed in the music industry. Now if Alex Turner or Noel Gallagher etc. didn't know it, now that would be weird.
@Tweetmylife This song is House of the Rising Sun by the Animals. The Saints are Coming is a different song, different band, but they do kinda have a similar sound.
You'd have to be into classic rock music to know it though, evidently Kenzie wasn't. Neither me or my mates during my teen years knew the song as we weren't into that sort of music at the time or ever discussed it. It's really quite simple.
@@Scallion_D But you were some kids in a back bedroom. Here is someone working and living in the music industry and no one has ever thought to play him a classic hit? From the era of his parents youth? He never even just heard it on a radio that was turned on in his house? I suppose if for his next trick Kenzie had said he'd never heard of the Beatles that would be ok because it's not his era. I have also never heard of World War 2 because I wasn't around then. It's arrogant, like you think no one's music matters but your own.
Even though I don't like using this word, Mark Lamarr was the best because he was so outstandingly 'cool!' Plus, he co-wrote the brilliant 15 Storey's high.
@ukulazy Re: the "I say I enjoyed it, I tolerated it" running gag, most episodes in Series 11 and 12 have that gag, and I think one or two from Series 13 do as well.
I'd have an educated guess-if I didn't know it, but it doesn't change the fact that Buzzcocks is a show all about taking stupid singer's down a peg, when someone say's 'I know all the melodies', that is someone to fuck with out of principal.
This will never, ever get old. Mark Lamarr being legitimately sympathetic and fatherly to that poor, clueless kid, and then ripping "House of the Rising Sun" up like the rockstar he is.
I love him so fucking much
would love to hear a full cover by lamarr though
he is honestly good at it, isnt he? :)
6 years on and still waiting.
@@jamesl8640 yeah!!!!! Fingers crossed!
DAMN his voice is exactly perfect for that song. I suppose that's the only good thing cigarettes have ever given us.
That, and the sweet, sweet taste.
@@robholloway6829Smoking Marlboro Reds is a pure pleasure
Kenzie is still confused to this day.
He's like the 90's answer to Joey Essex
But he knows all the melodies! 😂
@@amywonderland9297 or the brit pop version of dappy.
What do you expect? He’s a chav…
i love when he turns to the camera and just says "he doesnt know it", the look on his face is class
I come back to this every few years. I loved Mark Lamarr on this show.
"He knew it! I did it, and he went "yeah, that one."'
I miss this show when it was good.
It seems like Mark was genuinely trying to get Kenzie to appreciate the classics.
Mark Lamarr knows all the melodies! I would love to hear him sing that all the way through. That's genuinely a great bit of singing!
Ridiculously late to this one, but Mark knowing the lyrics didn't surprise me at all... Phil knowing the entire backing track note for note was impressive as hell though.
Has Mark ever been in a band? Cause he kicked the ass off that vocal
He has been in a band. Don't know if he's ever been the singer. He plays harmonica though.
7 years on and I'm STILL waiting for them to release this as a single ;)
5 years after your comment and we're still waiting.
14 years now.
Someone start a petition for this to happen already
17 years and still nothing
Still waiting...
Years and years of anguish and despair was vented in that moment.
Mark's "cover" of "House of the Rising Sun" is still my fave
Mark Lamarr on Jimmy Carr -"he's got a saucepan shaped face & a problem with punchlines."
This show is nearly as far in the past now as the release of 'House of the rising sun" was when it was broadcast. You're welcome.
Great moment from the days when the show was worth watching. Love his rendition - it's the best cover I've heard.
I still can't get over "Yeah, I know all the melodies!" May be one of the funniest things I've ever heard...
after all these years I still remember this as the best version. I wish it was complete. do it Mark! for Christmas!
5 years later, yes.
Still yes
I miss Mark Lamarr on NMTB, he truly was the backbone of that show
Mark Lamarr could get it.
Agreed
He's a good man, that Lamaar. Thanks for that.
Lamar did an amazing version to that fantastic song, well done
I think I've heard Mark Lamarr sing atleast 2 or 3 times.. he's actually really good
i could listen to marks voice all day
His voice gives me goosebumps! Holy shite its goodddd
My favourite version of this song ever I think.
I can totally see him sing a version of the song, and the music video would be him sitting with a cigarr and a bottle of scotch in an old pub.
The gravely holler of a smokers voice!
jesus, he's got a voice on him, mark lamarr!
well done everyone. Well done Lamarr and well done Jupitus. I wish tv could give such moments more often.
I know all the melodies
gah, i've decided i love mark lamarr. this video is sooo amazing - i watched it over and over months ago and have still returned to watch again. damn, lamarr can sing!
Absolutely brilliant moment
Heh! He was really good at that :D Even Bill was humming along to help at one point... Poor Kenzie :D
Hands down best host of Buzzcocks.
sounds like tom waits
Legend has it that Kenzie is now employed as an air rifle target at carnivals. The punters hit him more often than all the other targets for some reason.
The funniest bit about this is he couldn't even drum in time to it
Wow, 4 short of 1000 likes. Good work, internet. Good work, Mark Lamarr.
Marks wearing the perfect outfit for that song... I swear they wear something quite like that in the actual music video
"He's a 1960s conman"
man, lamarr can sing! great clip *faves*
Love it whenever they got some right dopey guests on.
This show ended when Mark left imo, what a legend!! hope he gets another show in future...
Kenzie takes it well to be fair
That's because he has no idea he's being mocked.
Mark Lamarr = LEGEND x
even though it's not what the vid is about in the first place.. GOD I LOVE HIS VOICE!
A capella has power. It stirs something in people.
I love this clip.
Am I the only one who would buy a Mark Lemarr album?
ah i love this episode! mark lamarr was the best! hilarious!!! none of the new guys top him. XD
I love this clip because it shows so clearly the difference between a genuinely cool person (Lamarr) and someone who thinks they're cool (Kenzie, or however his name is spelt. I don't know the guy)
Marks singing is awesome
mgh, marks voice singing that song is beyond hot
That was brilliant
Bring back Mark, Brilliant.
Don't know if he left or was chucked off, but Lamarr was miles better as the host!
"You've heard that song before...?"
"Yeah I know all the melodies!"
ahahahha
This is one of my most favourite happenings EVER. It is just fantastic... :D
The voice of an Angel
Mark Lamarr has a Tom Waits-ey feel to his voice. He's pretty awesome.
Damn. That voice
ya know. gotta give props to phil. if he wasnt absolutely perfect mark wouldnt have had a launching point.
I prefer nmtb with lamaar as host rather than guest hosts every week
They should release this...I'd buy it...Jupitus and Lemarr between them create an oddly pleasing sound...
Mark Lamarr AND lucy porter - what an episode..
Hahah his impression of him was brilliant
Ah.. the days when nmtb was good.
3:17 Christ Almighty, that smug sideways look he gives, as if to say "God, this old people music is so lame. I'm so killing it right now."
'House of the Rising Sun' will be remembered for centuries while Blazin Squad are already forgotten.
thats fucking amazing
Thanks! She's frigging gorgeous

You just have to love Mark! Love I say ^^
Mark COME BACKKKKK finally make Never Mind the Buzzcocks funny again, Simon's quit here's your chance come back!!!
xD Why did Kenzie smile at the audience like they were cheering him?!
mark should come back to shooting stars he was awsome lol
Jesus christ I just spat tea everywhere that was amazing!
Right on! Too bad they've taken down all the Lamarr Buzzcocks episodes from youtube, yet haven't brought out a DVD or anything. :-(

Holy shit what an awesome voice Mark's got. Lot of Waits resemblance, as the badongism already said.
Could have sworn the first one was Day Tripper by The Beatles, but anyway....
@Tweetmylife This song is House of the Rising Sun by the Animals. The Saints are Coming is a different song, different band, but they do kinda have a similar sound.
oh it's a very famous tune, it was a hit back in the day, a staple in classic rock music.
You'd have to be into classic rock music to know it though, evidently Kenzie wasn't.
Neither me or my mates during my teen years knew the song as we weren't into that sort of music at the time or ever discussed it.

Mark lamarr was so much more of a better host than amstell. "Scratch and sniff?"
Kenzie can barely drool in a straight line.
Radio, same thing he was doing before, during and after Buzzcocks.
OMG! They are freaking out! :D
He was in a band called Blazin Squad in the early 2000's
to be fair to him, that didnt sound like it at all when they first sang it.
Mark also knows a lot about music
Awesome.
And Kenzie is so damn cute!
Kenzie is a good laugh
I see you commenting on loads of videos I watch, good taste sir!
I'd have an educated guess-if I didn't know it, but it doesn't change the fact that Buzzcocks is a show all about taking stupid singer's down a peg, when someone say's 'I know all the melodies', that is someone to fuck with out of principal.
Why hasn't anyone remembered that last zinger for 8 out 10 cats does countdown
Fair play to mckennzey what ever his name is I bet he took some stick that day and took it well
I
