Its "Jilted John" by Jilted John

[bensmum]

A friend of mine was on about this a couple of weeks ago - he drove me mad singing it loudly (I had to download the lyrics for him!) Has it been on the radio or something recently, only it's not a song that you'd expect to hear very often.

[revpat55]

no bensmum - just a good, old fashioned catchy tune! I love it as well! Takes me back to my (nearly) youth

[Mattk]

i have it on mp3 - class song !
i remember all of the kids at school singing it to the only gordon we had constantly !!!

[curiosity]

I have one of the original LP's with a big gold stamp saying DEMO only. Baz's party is great also.

Pointless trivia - Jilted John is also John Shuttleworth

[paddywak]

To this day a friend of mine will only answer to his middle name,John, and will not tell anybody new he meets that his first name is actually Gordon.

[andy-hughes]

Jilted John is a caharacter created by actor Graham Fellows - the single reached Number Four in the charts.

Graham Fellowes then created his mucn longer-running character John Shuttleworth, who appears on Radio Four -

Have a listen to John Shuttleworths "Pigeons In Flight"

[exxy eddie]

Jilted John by Jilted John hit the charts in August 1978 staying until late October that year. A fantastic tune by Mr Fellows who incidentally appeared in Coronation Street (some relation to Minnie Caldwell methinks).

Caz247. i agree it is a great tune from a great era. Punk / New Wave made music accessible to the masses.

Check out Chavtastic by The Kayas on their MySpace, great tune. It Takes me back to my youth.

Aarrr..

Sang "Gordon is a moron".

Listened to "The Shuttleworths" on R4

Saw Graham Fellows in various guises in various theatres.

BUT !! Who can name the retort to "Gordon Is A Moron" by the ever-lovely 'Julie' ??

[Redbel]

One of my fave songs from the late 70's......still love it....:)

[curiosity]

"Yes but he's no puff" " he's more of a man than you'll ever be!"

[curiosity]

and of course the song (now I've googled) Gordon's not a Moron by Julie & Gordon.
