Mardy Bum Lyrics
Mardy is a Nottingum [Nottingham] expression
Mardy bum - is said to a girl Mardy bugger - is said to a boy
Its another word for grumpy or downbeat.
Other Nottingum expressions that may be included in a forthcoming Monkey's album include:
Tabs = ears Tegs = teeth Geggs = glasses A-up me duck = Hello there Monk On = feeling of unhappiness It's a bit black over bills mothers = weathers awful Youf = young person
:-)
Nothing I can really add to this discussion. I'm in an 8 year relationship with my now-fiancee and [more than often!] she has these moments where she's in a right mood which really irks me off, but I still remember I love her to bits and remember these laughs and jokes.
The end of the second verse sums it up -
"And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate That reoccurs ,oh when you say I don't care Well of course I do, yeah I clearly do! "
This song has got relationships down to a tee.
'That reoccurs, oh when you say I don't care Well of course I do, yeah I clearly do!'
One of the best lyrics I've heard for a long time.
those lines are so brilliantly sung :)

Mardy = Childish, sulky. Easily upset and wants their own way all the time. Mainly from the East Midlands although it does appear to have some use in the Manchester area.
firstly mardy isnt nottingham slang its northen slang lol. theyr from rotherham. n my mate knows them it is about alexs ex-gf n aparently shes wel mardy. howevr this relationship song is relevant 2 any relationship wudnt u say?
theyre actually from sheffield. Your mate must not be well-up on his geography. He dunt even know where his 'friends' are from

I like the way each chorus is started differently.
'It's one that laughs and jokes around'
'Can't we laugh and joke around'
'To laugh and joke around'
Very nice.
Yeah i love that because it shows how much thought went into the lyrics; he;s not just repeating the same thing to fill space.

just the use of the word 'mardy' in this song makes me love it!! a word i've always used frequently and many people have no idea what it means!!! the monkeys are ace!
I love the lines 'remember cuddles in the kitchen, Yeah to get things off the ground'
It's like every relationship thats been on the go for a while and someone might start a wee cuddle and then things move up stairs (off the ground).
Lou Lou, Mardy bum was never limited to north, I live near birmingham and my mom used to call it me all the time.
i always thought it was about this guy named marty who was a bum. i wasnt sure why he was so grumpy all the time at alex, tho... i'm not kidding.
