MancWanderer Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Local private hire driver round here is a member of The Manc Lads - a tribute to The Macc Lads Used to pick me up every now and again to take me to Victoria to get the train to The Reebok on match day Convinced me to go and see them. Dear god they were shite. Really shite. Really bad Oi! shite Don't know The Macc Lads music but that put me off seeing them. Heard a lot about them. What sort of music is it?

Moderators Carlos Posted July 5, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 5, 2018 Fuck me, how dated? Songs about queers and AIDS, fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Fuck me, how dated? Songs about queers and AIDS, fuck off. back in the day I found them pretty funny, but if it's all that same stuff they're doing then it'll be a bit dated won't it? - Also, how old are they now? Must be in their sixties I would have thought. Although, they surely won't be any shitter than The Lancashire Hotpots will they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Any truth to the rumour one of their songs lyrics has now been rephrased to... "Aye Up We're The Macc Lads and two of the three of us ain't fucking queer"? I do remember reading once that one of them was some public schoolboy perfume ponce playing at being a 'lad'...

Youri McAnespie Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) They were pretty shite but occasionally funny - but, like with Alf Garnett, a lot of their fans didn't get the surely thin irony of ditties like 'Feed Your Face'. Anyway, anything they did was usurped by the charmingly named Anal Cunt and songs like 'Women: Nature's Punching Bag', 'Eazy E was given AIDS by Freddy Mercury' and 'You Robbed a Sperm Bank'...

frank_spencer Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Anal cunt much like Macc Lads were the source of much hilarity at college. Proper cringe material now coming from grown adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one for listening to someones mix tape on a Walkman at school They were funny in my early teens but would be cringe-worthy now I reckon. Sweaty Betty and the one about McDonalds and root beer were faves and I still think the title 'No Sheep till Buxton' is genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 6, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2018 Come on yer miserable bastards, it's a bit of light hearted entertainment. So what if it's not P.C these days (or any days). Next you'll be up in arms because there are no gender neutral toilets. If you want to be entertained with like minded folk who thought they were a bit of a giggle back in the day, it's well worth the entrance money, nobody is being shoved in the back of a Vauxhall viva and forced to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our country is full of PC assholes who are afraid to admit that they actually still find things entertaining because society says they’re not supposed to. Sheep.

I think I find the use of 'assholes' instead of 'arseholes' more offensive than any outdated juvenile shite proferred by The Macc Lads.
