“If you want a lot of chocolate on your biscuit . . .

[Silas Loom]

These Snuff people do seem to respect the original tunes, though. Would they really want to start a fight over IP with Black Sabbath?



A nice excerpt from their Wikipedia page:

In 1991, Snuff split up.[1] During this period all three members applied to be the bassist for Leatherface.

Bring back YoYo's.

Blue Riband / TAXIs were always shite. If you went to your aunt's and she had them on a plate you'd groan. Still eat them, though. Just too much wafer in the ratio with chocolate. They say the thinness of the chocolate coating approached the Planck constant.

 

[pogofish]

Bring back YoYo's.

Only the toffee ones. The rest were shite!

“If you like Manchester United then you must be fucking scum… scum!” Is the version I remember

FIFY. And it scans better. MOT.

Doesn’t even fit must be thinking of different tunes.

We had Snuff on at Thames Poly while I was there. Wat Tyler and Axegrinder supported. Cellar bar, probably cost about three quid. Tepid, flat Fosters a quid a pint.

Cor, there's a small but greater-than-zero number of people my age or younger who'd be well impressed by you having seen Axegrinder live back in the day.

 

[Happy Tree]

There's literally nothing worse than people who write limericks that don't scan.

There once was a young football fan
Who liked to watch AC Milan
But when Berlusconi
Called him a big phoney
He told him to fuck off and ran

I've had that fucking advert jingle going round in my head since first seeing this thread. You're a complete bastard Silas Loom

Which tune? Sabbath, or the original?

I say "supported".They didn't turn up.

Also, only just belatedly realised that if you ask me to sing anything to the tune of anything by Black Sabbath I automatically think of it as being to the tune of Iron Man. Presumably their other songs have tunes as well, but Iron Man is the one my brain automatically goes to.

You can sing “pick up a penguin, puh-puh-puh-puh pick up a penguin” to Iron Man quite successfully. If you really must.

I know have the Club biscuit song to the tune of Iron Man stuck in my head. Cheers.

I'm not sure it really fits, but happy to help either way!

Of course it fits:

The irony is that whilst we all remember bands like Snuff doing funny punk covers of adverts.. these days adverts are likely to be miserable ukulele covers of punk songs by some breathy girl called Phoebe.
