That song : "Gordon is a Moron"

[zebedeethezebra]

Does anyone remember that song from the late 70s/early 80s?

Can anyone remember the lyrics? The chorus went: Gordon is a mo-or-ran, Gordan is a mo-or-ran. Hilarious!

Oh, yes. My headmasters first name was Gordon!

It's really not that hilarious when you're a grown up, though.

I'll have a go:

I was going out with a girl her name was Julie.....then one night she said listen John I love you but there's this guy I fancy, his name is Gordon.... Gordon is a Moron...

A Utube search brings up several versions including (of course) Gordon Brown is a moron - not that funny I'm afraid.

Lol i LOVE that song rushes off to find a version I might even HAVE to have a giggle at the Gordon brown is a moron although i can think of far stronger words i would prefer to use!

ha that was john shuttleworth, eggs and gammon, poor rhiannon, ken had wind

.....I dont want to two time you so its the end for me and you....

I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chipshop, when I came out there was Julie standing at the bus stop.

This is the first record I ever owned!

Poor old Jilted John.

For years my friend's DP had us all convinced that he made that song up

I was going out with a girl,her name was Julie,when one night she said to me while I was watching telly
this is what she said,she said
listen john I love you,but there's this bloke I fancy,I don't want to two time you so its the end for you and me.
who's this bloke I asked her
Gordon she replied
What that (not sure now,twat? something like that?)
yes but he's no (twat or similar)she cried
Gordon is a moron etc etc

Should be "what that (twat)I cried dismayed,meant to type it and missed it out.

Not that puff I said (?) dismayed (?)
yes but he's no puff she cried
[He's more of a man than you'll ever be]

Yes it's puff

Jilted John.
Wonderful lyrics

h yes,puff,how could I have forgotten "he's more of a man than you'll ever be"?
and the end,what was it ,"she's a slag,he is a creep,he is a puff,she's very cheap" along those lines anyway. John shuttleworth,he is v.funny.

Ahem, I have the album.

Note that I said have and not had.

I remember taping it from the radio (or should I say wireless??) with a tape recorder microphone held up to the radio speaker.Oh happy days.

I love it, My dad used to play it in his car on cassette and I used to think it was so naughty (being about 9 at the time) Especially the second chorus where he just calls them all names.

I also think 'I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop' is the best lyric ever!

When I came out there was Gordon standing at the bus stop.

ZEBRA It was a great song, must download it from youtube and give you the rest of the song!

Someone should re-release it before the election next week - ha ha!

My best bit is where he goes something along the line of

She is a slag, she is a bitch, he is a puff
Yeah Yeah
It's not fair...

I've been going out with a girl,
her name is Julie
But last night she said to me,
when we were watching telly

(This is what she said)

She said listen John, I love you
But there's this bloke, I fancy
I don't want to two time you,
so it's the end for you and me

Who's this bloke I asked her
Goooooordon, she replied
Not THAT puff, I said dismayed
Yes but he's no puff she cried

(He's more of a man than you'll ever be)

Here we go, two three four

I was so upset that I cried,
all the way to the chip shop

When I came out there was Gordon,
standing at the bus stop

(And guess who was with him? Yeah, Julie, and they were both laughing at me)

Oh, she is cruel and heartless
to pack me for Gordon
Just cos he's better looking than me
Just cos he's cool and trendy

But I know he's a moron, Gordon is a moron
Gordon is a moron, Gordon is a moron

Here we go, two three four

Oh she's a slag and he's a creep
She's a tart, he's very cheap
She is a slut, he thinks he's tough
She is a bitch, he is a puff
Yeah yeah, it's not fair
Yeah yeah, it's not fair

(I'm so upset)

I'm so upset, I'm so upset, yeah yeah

(I ought to smash his face in.)

(Yeah, but he's bigger than me. In't he?)

(I know, I'll get my mate Barry to hit him. He'd flatten him)

(Yeah but Barry's a mate of Gordon's in'e?)

(Oh well, I don't care)

I don't care
I don't care
Cause she's a slag and he's a creep
she's a tart, he's very cheap
she is a slut, he thinks he's tough......

That is a beautiful thing Violet...
