Ten Pole Tudor

[Twocky61]

Ten Pole Tudor is a punk singer

Probably his most well known song being Swords of a Thousand Men

Ten Pole also appeared in the Sex Pistol's movie The Rock'n'Roll Swindle as the guy serving in the cinema foyer

He sang "Who Killed Bambi?" (If you want my opinion I say it was that annoying bunny Thumper. Apparently he thumped Bambi too hard in the face that poor wickle Bambi kicked the bucket lol)

I Remember "Swords of a Thousand Men" and "Wunderbar". Good fun!

Re: Ten Pole Tudor

I thought that Ten Pole Tudor was a group rather than the name of the actual singer.

Ditto. Apart from Swords of a Thousand Men, I don't think I could name another of his songs.

On the other hand, I thought that Blondie, T'Pau etc were the names of the actual singers rather than the group...

Ed Tudor Pole of Crystal Maze fame, methinks?

Now Who Killed Bambi? has stirred memories but I'm afraid the others haven't. I expect some or all will be on Youtube, so I will have a look. Thanks for listing them.

Oh yes!

Re: Ten Pole Tudor

It's amazing that I had never made that connection until seeing this thread.

Re: Ten Pole Tudor

Oh yes!

I thought he was good at it it too. Just unfortunate he had such big shoes to fill.

Re: Ten Pole Tudor

Funnily enough I was listening to Wunderbar the other day. I still can't make out what Ed is singing in the song apart from the chorus and telling me about a nuclear war. Is it just me finding it hard to understand? I've always thought Ed was drunk recording the song.

That's about all I can make out too!

Hup, hup, hup
Throw it, man
Forward, man
Throw it, man
I don't know
Maybe that'll do
There is unemployment, misery, despair
I really wanna lose that job, I'm going to the fair
I'm gonna roll in the meadow
If you shut your mouth a minute, you can read a book
That reminds me, I'm in spite myself, I'm not a cook
I'm been running seventeen errands
All I wanna is to see the mirage
There is a woman in Germany and I think she said it all
Wunderbar, wunderbar, wunderbar, wunderbar, wunderbar
Wunderbar, wunderbar, wunderbar, wunderbar
In life there's many answers, more than I can see
God, it has no meanings to what in I believe
I don't wanna see to the mirage
I wanna is to see the mirage?
There is a woman in Germany and I think she said it all
Wunderbar, wunderbar,…
