When You're Young & in Love by The Flying Pickets

[wendyvigor]

I remember this song when i was young always used to listen to it. :) love it xx

[MrStaxer1]

Seen these guys in Hackney in London they were great!

[kevgish]

just brilliant thanks

[littledarkthevampier]

Saw them in Coleraine New University of Ulster in October 1983 they were briliant.

[Wieahlbie]

at first i didn't even notice this is a capella...so great :)

[thebigfist]

Actually I liked Ruby and the Romantics version best of all, but these guys, as usual, give this song a first-class modern-styled doo-wop interpretation.

[MegaSootycat]

Our main man looks really old now he's playing a bad man in Eastenders with Billy Mitchell!!!!!

[soopersoo3942]

@MegaSootycat yes but how good they were

[lintym]

how can all these other groups call themselves The Flying Pickets? They are rubbish

[doozydoozy]

They are fantastic!

[bueterfulbaby]

It's good but I agree.... not as good as the original. I would rather hear the updated version than no version at all.

[bueterfulbaby]

It's good but I agree.... not as good as the original.

[fleetmaze2]

when your young and in love, i was once

[baggieboys58]

THIS IS SO GOOD

[signsinthesand]

Quality in its own right.

[davidnettleton]

Yes they did - I went to one of them. I also attend a rally in Swindon where Tony Benn spoke. However, the cause was doomed due to the failure to hold a national ballot. The working-class should never again take on a Tory government unless it can be certain of victory.

By the way, I was in Marks and Spencer in Bury St Edmunds this morning and Norman Tebbit was in the same checkout queue!

[JimmyPSX]

Factory, Masters of War, Disco Down, Wide Boy...everything off the Lost Boys album is pure gold

[davidnettleton]

Welsh Commies!

[welshtaffv]

@davidnettleton

welsh commies they maybe , In the miner strike they played concerts throughout the country to raise money for the cause .

[SuperLordjohn]

omega125th, do you have the pickets doing Only the lonely, if so can you put it on you tube? cheers.

[mickthepoet]

If anyone's got 'Monica wants to be an Engineer' please load it for posterity - it's a total classic.

[JimmyPSX]

@mickthepoet I just got the Lost Boys album off amazon...it's amazing

[bradwjensen]

Half-way through the song they sound like the Bee Gees. Stacy Lattisaw does a great cover of this song.

[raulzoar]

la grabe de una amisora de radio y luego compre el cd

[Borft7]

dm10mechanic123 the proper title is monica wants to be an engineer and it comes from their best cd in the original line-up

[gayboylaca]

Sounds like the Four Preps singing the song at a sock hop in the 1960s. Excellent.

[dm10mechanic123]

do you happen to have monic is an engineer which is on b side of this single

[risdene]

This song reminds me of 1984 and when I was young and in love

[fntime]

@risdene it reminds me of 1965, Ruby & Romantics

version......I have found, when I'm in love, I'm

always young!

[jasongsux]

Welsh commies.

[james7696739]

Very evocative of the mid eighties, with the miner's strike and all that.

[lillylilic]

do you know where they play this year because i think they may be on my list of too sees. swines i dont do this type of music.........but cant help dipping in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lillylilic]

class..............

[americanlover2007]

i love this song!

[sexybumruth]

what can i say !!!but the the flying brilliants .......

[draagon66]

There are so many more Flying Pickets winners and I can't find them!

I much prefer to see them performing, the original line up, as they are a bunch of 'characters' as well as great harmonisers.

[charmq777]

this is nice - tx for posting!

[conniff44]

Brilliant especially as they have no musical instruments or backing, just their voices.

[lillylilic]

oh yesssssss the could sing.....

[4getfullboy]

i was able to hear it from three teens singing this song last 1988 and i didn't knew then that it's a revival. anyway, thanks for posting it. gene g. cam.sur philippines

[12lalore12]

[linda54me]

Brill

[squidgeyalan]

the original and still the best ..the flying pickets

[tanpin816]

Who else sang (remake) this song before? I think I heard another version before.

[teebee1984]

The original was by Motown girl group 'The Marvellettes'

[ITALY1953]

@squidgeyalan YEAH I AGREE,THE BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG.

[DYORPEEPS]

@squidgeyalan A great version but certainly not original!

[shanker240274]
