Vid clip from a true cult classic — 'Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains'

[Oeditpus Rex]

This is The Looters (Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols, Paul Simonon from the Clash, and actor Ray Winstone) doing "The Professionals," a musical shot at the British draft, or "call-up."

Yeah, I wanna see the world for free
But I don't like the things you see
Hup-two-three-four really ain't my style
The call-up calling us again
The commies are coming, did I hear you say?
Who cares? Who knows? Maybe I will one day

Who knows what you're gonna see?
Who knows when your turn will be?
Join the professionals
Be a professional
Join the professionals today

A kick in the head every day for a year
Wouldn't even keep me goin' there
A shot in the heart secretly for me
Do they really have a say
In what goes on with you each day?
Does your country mean that much to you?

Who knows what you're gonna see?
Who knows when your turn will be?
Join the professionals
Be a professional
Join the professionals today

1. Great find!

I haven't seen that in years; thanks for this!

2. I found the DVD on eBay a couple years ago

The quality sucks; it was apparently ripped from a VHS tape, probably from the old USA "Night Flight." Still, I consider myself very lucky to have found it, since Paramount never released it.
