Denim - Middle of the road

[outsidernl]

thats what a true rock star looks like right there

[midnightaria]

i LIKE HOW HE LOOKS LIKE HUNTER S THOMPSON :)

[skranker]

early dylan... aretha... hey!

[skranker]

i like singing the "in the middle of the road" back-up vocals reggae-style

[mizlandry]

When I first heard this song, I felt that I was no longer alone. That there were others who hated all that stupid 1970s hippie rock!

[sirvidia]

@mizlandry a) it's not entirely serious, and b) he cites musicians from the 50s and 60s too, not just hippies. Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Otis Redding etc.

[mizlandry]

@sirvidia I do get that...

[mizlandry]

@sirvidia Like when he sings "I hate riffs and gee-tar licks" and then there's a riff-lick. It's hilarious.

[sirvidia]

@mizlandry yeah. he hates everything basically. great tune.

[cinedores]

a brilliant fuck off to all those cunts who tell you what to like

[milbury55]

Lawrence is such an amazing singer and a great frontman both Denim and Felt were great!

[fatpizzaman]

This is the best musical advice you can be given and a big fuck you to record companies who overhype certain artists. Don't be told who to like, you make your own rock'n'roll. Be yourself, whatever you conceive yourself to be. Labels suck.

[Obituaryreader]

93 this was, yes?

Yrs. anyway since I saw it, thanks ;)

[INITIALSJE]

How many of you people really "felt" this video?!

[glittervamp1]

The late great Gerry Shepard and of course Phippsy.This whole album is great love it Lawrence.

[MrMVPFan]

Geil...

[debbiek1000]

Thats Gerry Shepard with his star guitar - he was brilliant! RIP Gerry x

[lschrady]

Spector's wall..knock it down

AHEM!

[supercrass]

Lawrence is amazing!

[froggycyrus]

Lawrence is a fucking weirdo!!!

[fatpizzaman]

@froggycyrus that's what I like about him. We need more weirdos out there in the pop music scene.

[ElektraKid83]

wtf. O.o

[Covox]

Where's the live videos of "Middle Of The Road" and "The Osmonds" from Later with Jools Holland?

[Jockice1]

Lawrence is God.

[ManicManning]

Yes Lawrence is my uncle! x

[Covox]

LAWRENCE!

[Spiritualizedr]

おおー！！

[burntoats]

Lawrence King of England NOW. Someone please find him in Belgravia and bring him a (pasteurized) golden throne . Well, dismantled king is off the.. yeah... Anyway, love you Lawrence

[fluorophoric]

genius. heh.

[icegems21]

I was in this video, im the little brown haired girl at the end with the badge on her top! Cant believe this is still about!

[watoowatootheband]

so cute :)

[officialfanclub]

superb clip, long live Gerry Shephard, a good friend of Lawro.

[filafresh71]

Lawro is Birmingham's answer to the question, what would a supergroup made up of Dylan, Morrisey, Jarvis and Eddie Argos sound like ? Pure Genius! Denim on Ice Forever ! I'm off to munch on a jumbo Brumburger.....

[Muribelle]

Tut tut! Anything but boring. For boring listen to Coldplay.

[paffgen]

frigging boring!

[j0wled]

Remember to tell us what you think isn't boring, so that we can taunt you. Plz.

[Jummy134]

Hi from Greece... middle of the road are pretty cool... I'm listening my mams favourite songs

[jesules]

does anybody know thw entire lyrics?

[fatpizzaman]

"Don't be told who to like. It's your choice, it's your right to choose who you listen to. It's YOUR rock'n'roll." - those are my all time fave lyrics in the history of rock. A shame this song was never a no.1 hit, but then again I suspect true Denim fans didn't really care.

[PaddyGoo]

And they have the Glitter Band guitarist playing (well in the video anyway!) fabaroony!!

[blueaeroplane10]

Anyone got any more vid of denim or felt?

[BahmanG]

hey there. felts' primitive painters and stained glass windows....... is also online. aware of these? also, someone uploaded loads of go-kart mozart songs from their sweden performance. enjoy. :)

[nogomet66]

Does anyone else reckon this is where Calvin Harris (or whatever he's called) stole his entire act? In the words of Big Lol - I'm against the eighties.

[richardjgibson]

Lawrence on his way to the audition to play Dr Hunter S. Thompson/Raoul Duke for the Terry Gilliam film of 'Fear and Loathing..'

Pity the Go Cart Mozart LP didn't quite hit the spot.

[chuckdee121]

Felt were something completely different. If you don't dig this, you are sick sick sick. This is as fun as it gets, and obviously they are being young with all their might!!!

[CLICKSONIC]

this shouldve gone to number one

[mrbigshot20]

How could you say this sucks compared to Felt? It's very similar to Felt, just different stylings.

[CosyDen]

I agree...

[juanky8]

@mrbigshot20 well i agree that it´s quite similar to Felt but this is not the same than joy division / new order different stylings that both are gorgeous.

[lkorlaet]

'there ain't a lot I can do about it though I'm force-fed your so called heroes

don't be told who to like it's your choice it's your right to choose who to listen to'

brilliant!

[likewow99]

Fooking amazing

[kidcodea]

my god from felt to this. was a huge disapointement then and it still is tdy.

felt ftw.

[CoalMiningPolak]

I agree, this sucks, especially compared to Felt.

[lydialunchbuffet]

If this isn't the best song ever, I don't know what is

[elvira2262]

Wenn die jetzt nen Reifen wechslen müssten...

And, fasten seatbelt sssss please, and start rocking !

[Muribelle]

Yay! I love this song. I just bought the album and it rocks too!

[ggspotter]

Great to have found this and Lawrence is right when he says "Rock n Roll Dudes" is one of the best albums ever!

[bartlebybartleby]

lawrence is an anti-rockist :)

[dallow]

Had no idea they even made videos... wow!

Very cool, I love Lawrence, I'm astounded I didn't know about this!

[Mobytanner]

The Osmonds is one of my favourite tracks ever, saw them live and they were great. Back in Denim is a classic album. Another of those should of been massive bands see World Of Twist and Cud for that!!

[btnikk]

DENIM is my favourite brit band ever!!!! Tak! - from Seoul, Korea

[Dolzer]

may your gods bless you tak

[echodek5]

Thank you for posting this CosyDen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[jansarp]

YO.....Lawrence is the best. No, seriously THE BEST!!!
