Danny Baker sent us this


You're invited to name your favourite bit. I like the guy on the far right of the backing vocalists who looks as if he's avoiding the camera. Possibly a fugitive from justice?

"Guy on the far right of the backing singers"

Nah, looks nothing like Kershaw.

Retropath2 | 18 September 2008 - 12:08pm

Boom boom...

...tish!

JJ | 18 September 2008 - 5:39pm

I think he's reading

...the very complex lyrics.

Tony Fry | 19 September 2008 - 11:35am

But does he want to be more than friends?

"Once I tried to run
I tried to run and hide
But Jesus came and found me
and he touched me down inside
He is like a mountie
he always gets his man..."

That isn't...

...Jeremy Clarkson on drums - is it?

Paolo Meccano | 18 September 2008 - 12:14pm

No...

...it's Gareth Hunt from the Nescafe ads.

kb | 18 September 2008 - 12:42pm

JC (geddit?) it is, plus. . .

on lead vocals, it's nice to see Cristiano Ronaldo living up to his name. (Geddit?)

Archie Valparaiso | 18 September 2008 - 1:45pm

On the drums?

...it's Peter Cook when he had the ill-advised perm.

Philip Bryer | 18 September 2008 - 6:47pm

He could just be...

...excruciatingly embarrassed at being a part of that particular beat combo. I suspect his girlfriend ( the lady in the glasses and the nice dress) has made him join the group as a pre-condition of dating. She looks very jolly happy to be involved. He's on a promise, but only if he puts the waistcoat on once more and jolly well joins in.

And the lead singer will obviously commit some heinous crime in the future involving bodies chopped up into different coloured plastic bags and buried in the shape of the cross.

Its got to be a fake hasn't it?

It is the only song by Sonseed I can find out there on the web. Quality of picture is too good for 80's/70's. And the lyrics are just too preposterous.

dolly | 18 September 2008 - 12:27pm

Nobody parodies Christian rock better than Christian rockers

It's understandable that people think this is fake, but there's something about religious fervous that erodes one's critical faculties. Also genuine is the following:

People think I'm strange, can't get any stranger

'Cos my best friend was ____ __ _ ______

You're not going to need Google to complete the blanks, are you?

Interview

This claims to ba an interview with the singer, and reads too straight to be a parody for me - http://dougsploitation.blogspot.com/2008/09/dougsploitation-news-exclusi...

Oh ye of little faith

Of course they are real. There is an album out there. Danny Baker is scouring Ebay for it right now.

Beany | 18 September 2008 - 12:43pm

I once was found...

..now I'm lost.

shane pacey | 18 September 2008 - 12:52pm

whatever you believe

Gods follows have managed to do some terrible things in his name!
I still feel it's a fake.

Chris G | 18 September 2008 - 1:02pm

Jesus Wept

That's my faith renounced

Pat Carty | 18 September 2008 - 1:12pm

Is it me?..

..or is the singer killing time before his next porn role?

"He taught me how to turn my cheek when people laugh at me"

...I imagine that's a facility they'd use a lot.

Lucky Tiler | 18 September 2008 - 2:04pm

I believe

I believe this is genuine. Admittedly it looks a throw back to the 70's but I've seen this sort of thing at first hand.

Churches are in fact loaded with musicians who can't get gigs anywhere else so this sort of thing is bound to happen from time to time.

Give me the salvation army anyday!

Martin Simmonds | 18 September 2008 - 2:49pm

isn't that bloke...

Ian McShane of Friar Tuck and "who's turn is it to be an show off pain in the improv arse?" fame?

James Blast | 18 September 2008 - 3:11pm

Favourite moment:

"Zap."

Nick White | 18 September 2008 - 3:25pm

Not sure if I like The

Not sure if I like The Specials new direction.

Andy Lynes | 18 September 2008 - 3:44pm

One minute 35 seconds in, when the

groovy f*cker with the Les Paul lets his left hand nonchalantly drop from the fretboard mid bar twixt chords. Awesome chops.

Vulpes Vulpes | 18 September 2008 - 5:41pm

Non-matching shirt, too

Rock and roll!!!

Graham Johns | 18 September 2008 - 9:39pm

On My Radio

He said he loved me etc etc Did The Selector see this and the rest was history?

dannyboy3000 | 18 September 2008 - 6:32pm

Have the Dead 60s

reformed already?

David Ellcock | 18 September 2008 - 6:38pm

No, they play far better ska

than the Dead 60's and you should hear their roots reggae, almost reaches the standards set by The Police.

Retro Man | 19 September 2008 - 10:19pm

What's happening to this site?

first a thread on Cliff Richard and now more god squad loonies. Pass me the confession box I have something to get off my chest.

Steve Turner | 18 September 2008 - 7:16pm

If these are His friends...

... He don't need Richard Dawkins as His enemy!

Nicodemus | 18 September 2008 - 7:58pm

Simple things please...

When the video ends, you get a number of different "Jesus is my friend"'s to choose from or a song from Simple Minds?

Is this just coincidence?

Martin Langkjaer | 18 September 2008 - 8:39pm

Not a christian but

How can you not be inspired by this

paul beard | 18 September 2008 - 8:57pm
muttnjeff | 18 September 2008 - 10:17pm

I don't even care if this is fake or not...

...because it's now my new favourite song.
Genius. I shall be singing it all afternoon.

The guy on the right

Isn't that Willie Thorne, ex snooker player and one of Leicester's favourite sons ?
