19 Jan 03 - 08:14 PM (#870187) Subject: Chord Req: Looking for music to 'Bugger Off' From: GUEST,Automatic Sam Hey there. Can anyone help me out with the chords (or even a recording) of "Bugger Off You Bastards"? A verse is included below to avoid confusion as to what song I'm talking about... ************* Bugger off you bastards bugger off (FUCK YOU) Bugger off you bastards bugger off (FUCK YOU) Like a herd of bloody swine who refuse to leave the trough You'll get no more this evening so you bastards bugger off You've been a splendid audience but oh my time is past So don't you all be letting the door hit you in the ass You've been a lovely audience but enough is enough We'd take a drink kindly if you'd all just bugger off |

This is our first post ever to Mudcat - we're a struggling group of vaguely-trad Irish and Scots players in NYC. So, d'ya know the chords? :) |

20 Jan 03 - 08:27 PM (#870997) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Looking for music to 'Bugger Off' From: GUEST Coincidences, and all that. A nephew of mine sent me a compliation of songs he had gathered, I suppose on line somewhere, and "Bugger Off" is on it. I had never heard it before, but think is a real hoot, at the right time for the rightr audience. |

20 Jan 03 - 09:24 PM (#871041) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Looking for music to 'Bugger Off' From: mack/misophist I dont have the words down but if an mp3 of the song would help, try Wilderness 1916 at mp3,com. Bugger Off is their main excuse for existing. |

20 Jan 03 - 09:46 PM (#871056) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Looking for music to 'Bugger Off' From: Clinton Hammond Someone needs to teach the guy in Wilderness 1916 to sing his consonance, and not to linger on his vowels... Interesting "Singing-through-a-plastic-horn" vocal effect as well ,-) |

23 Jan 03 - 05:23 PM (#873225) Subject: Lyr Add: BUGGER OFF From: Clinton Hammond Well, someone needs to post the lyrics at least... BUGGER OFF (Tim Searles and Tommy Ward) Bugger off ya bastards bugger off Bugger off ya bastards bugger off Like a heard of bloody swine Who refuse to leave the trough You'll get no more this evening so Ya bastards bugger off You've been a lovely audience but oh the time has past So don't ya all be letting the door, hit ya in the ass You've been a lovely audience but enough is enough We'd take it very kindly if ya'd all just bugger off Here's to the barkeeps and the waitresses who've been serving you your beer They put up with your awful breath and your stupid drunken leers Be leaving all your money on the table when ya go Tomorrow you'll have a throbbin head and nothing else to show Here's to all the lovely ladies who are waiting for the band And thinking one of them might make a torrid one-night-stand Oh please don't be offended girls this song's not meant for you And we're happy to oblige you when this nasty job is through So now you're promising the ladies a night of lovin' bliss When truth be told you're far to drunk to stand up straight and piss So give it up ya bloody sods you'll not be getting laid And the sooner that you're out the door, the sooner we'll get paid! nice eh... let's sing this one for Granny... ;-)

I found a sample of it being played, and can probably figure out the progression from that. I'll let you know what kind of reception it gets as a set closer... :) |

27 Jan 03 - 09:01 AM (#875710) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Looking for music to 'Bugger Off' From: Charley Noble Any clue to who composed this ditty? They deserve some credit. Reminds me a little of an older "You're a Bloody Rotten Audience" song that circulated around folk clubs some 15 years ago. Maybe that song evolved, or devolved as it were... Cheerily, Charley Noble |

10 Feb 05 - 09:24 PM (#1405322) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Looking for music to 'Bugger Off' From: Bob Bolton G'day Charlie (a mere 2 years, 2 weeks and one day back ...), In my mind, I kept hearing Eric Bogle singing You're a Bloody Rotten Audience ... but a quick Google search indicates that Tony Miles actually wrote it. Tony is another of t'othersiders that saw the sense of heading off to Australia ... in Tony's case, from England to Queensland. I have a lovely memory of Tony, while we were singing around a campfire at the Ben Hall Festival, Carcoar, 1979, doing a wickedly good parody of Eric's The Band Played Waltzing Matilda. Our National Broadcaster - The Australian Broadcasting Commission, as it was then called, recorded the whole wonderful session - in high grade stereo, from their mobile recording van ... but never broadcast that campfire. I pressed them for a reason ... and they claimed that: "... the crackle of the fire, in the background, compromised their high standards of acoustic fidelity ...!" Regards, Bob |

15 Aug 12 - 08:54 PM (#3390724) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Bugger Off From: GUEST,Tim Searles Just to clarify...Tony Miles did not write "Bugger Off"......It was written by myself and Tommy Ward, members of "Bootless and Unhorsed" (Burlington, Vermont) in 1988 and recorded on our live record "If Pigs Could Fly" in 1994. Thousands of copies where sold (which is a big deal in Vermont, and tens of thousands of people heard us use the song as an encore during our long tenure as the house band at Burlington's legendary "Last Chance Saloon". |

15 Aug 12 - 09:10 PM (#3390727) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Bugger Off From: Little Hawk I encountered the song "Bugger Off" on Youtube one day. It's hilarious. Sent the link to one of my best buds...a lifelong folkie...and he got all huffy and offended over the "vulgarity", much to my surprise. I had no idea he was so sensitive. You'd think I'd sent it to my maiden Aunt Edna or something, the way he reacted. |
