I was watching this video for

, and it just shows that you don't need hot chicks in bikinis when you can have a few pasty drunk Irish guys in their underwear, but only if you have a good song. Edited by Takeshi

Love the Pogues ability to take the absolute and utter piss out of themselves (Present film clip for instance) The best band ever to just chill out to

If you're looking for a bit of diversity in your CD collection, get If I should Fall From Grace with God and Rum, Sodomy & The Lash (MAKE SURE TO GET THE SPECIAL EXTENDED EDITION! Song called A Rainy Night in Soho on it, one of their must haves)

dont like em...coat-tailers. good in that movie Straight to Hell though.

Whats a coat-tailer?

a johnny-come-lately, a dilletante (sp), bandwagon jumper..

Too bad they Shane McGowan was around during the whole movement, can be seen on stage with the Clash and hanging with the Sex Pistols

too bad for who? that was exactly my point, he just hung out with em and made a band on the ass-end of the the scene. he can be seen in footage from the old punk rock movie by Don Letts in his Union Jack Uniform bouncing up and down with his hands stuffed in his pockets.

Dude he didn't make a punk band though, he made a Irish Folk band and enherits the attitude that he got from living in that scene, he didn't band wagon jump nothing.

yeah, jumpin around in '77 with a Union Jack and tryna be all London towney and then suddenly becoming Uber Irish poet laureate of the gutters when the new wave thing kicked in and he figured out that this was the "way", its...boring, obvious. and you'd do well to note that he did in fact make a punk band called the nipple erectors and they were in fact, shit. this is why they didnt last and no ones fucking heard of them except Paul Weller from the jam jar. the pogues fit well into all that new wave crap.
