Kirsty MacColl They Don't Know

[actfray]

She left us too soon. Still love listening to her music. Thank you for posting this recording!

[NukedEnglandTV]

Truly, this is the best version- sequels are BAD.

[gooangel2]

I never knew about this version, but looking back, I think Tracey's version was more of a tribute. She would have sold a lot more records had she lived, I'm sure of it.

[pokit555]

Love this song

[RockChickSniffer]

Brilliant .

[enoboye]

So Tracy used Kirsty's 'Bay-bee..." from 1:59. Damn. Thirty years loving this classic and I just now got that!

[Gazzara5]

She was a great singer, a wonderful human being, and a loving mother who sacrificed her life for her child. I believe in God, and so I believe her soul rests in Heaven. Miss you, Kirsty.

[altcountryguitar]

Like a Phil Spector production from the 60's that somehow got away. Great pop tune. (Tracy Ullman knows a good thing when she sees one). Miss ya, Kirsty.

[sweetlittle]

Amazing tune!

[balmainguy]

We still miss her.... and we still blame the Mexican government for the travesty that resulted after her death.

[utubenoob78]

00:30 that is her with morrissey

[JohnnyCxviii]

Great song, great singer. This version is so fresh and light. Love it as much as Tracey's cover.

[ToniLCD]

We all still miss you Princess...

[shaneezzz]

this was me at 18 tbh nobody knew what my love was except me lol RIP Kirsty so much of your music meant so much in my life i love you xxxxxxxxxxx

[Ericl633]

Still missing her. RIP.

[GrottyGraham]

Hmmm, 4 people never heard of love...

[Francozilla]

Such a wonderful song sung by two exceptional individuals...

Kristy MacColl (God Bless and Rest in Peace)

Tracy Ullman

They both give the song it's TIMELESS appeal

[MrBillcale]

i cant hear her beautiful voice and not cry such a sad sad tragedy

[RachBates11]

sadly missed one of the best singers she will live on through her music

[anthonynewsome]

Kirsty Anna MacColl 10 October 1959 – 18 December 2000

[markie1979]

@anthonynewsome its been that long Gosh Such a unique voice nothing says Christmas like her and the Pogues RIP Kirsty

[anthonynewsome]

@markie1979 - yeah I remember meeting her way back when the single There's a guy works........ - she was mad - sparkling - fantastic - an a unique talent -

[pompeypops]

Sadly missed top singer thanks for your music

[MegaJohn144]

I like the song, but Tracey Ulman does it better.

[blackoutrus]

she was on the cover of smash hits 1981 and then what happend,she discovered she was a fuking musical genius thats what fukin happend dickheads duh.

[bjawhatsername]

I love this song starting now

[badmanners411]

1:51 Baybee

[JohnnyCxviii]

@badmanners411 I heard that's the same Baybee used in Tracy's version--can anyone confirm that Kirsty sings the Baybee in Tracy's hit?

[Johnoco66]

@JohnnyCxviii As far as I know (and I'm fairly certain), it IS Kirsty who does the 'bay-bee' on the TU version.

[chuffnobbler]

@Johnoco66 Yes: Tracey couldn't hit the high note, so it's Kirsty who belts it out.

Poor Kirsty. Eleven years gone, and still loved. xx

[giggie]

@JohnnyCxviii it is !

[Carolanna100]

A very brave lady

[CATHERINEDAVIES123]

A LOVELY SONG BY A LOVELY LADY....R.I.P.KIRSTY. XX

[bradster67]

Kirsty MacColl was not popular in America. I know she wrote this and recorded it first, but I am familiar with Tracey Ullman's version. This is the first time I have heard Kirsty's version. It is beautiful...a beautiful song.

RIP Kirsty, and thank you for a lovely song that I've loved for years.

[hopeitsok]

@bradster67 On the recording, Kirsty did the high note for Tracy at at end ... she couldn't reach it herself!

[bradster67]

@hopeitsok Funny you mentioned that because I had wondered that when I first listened to Kirsty's version, because "Baby" in both versions sounded the same. Thanks for that info.

[rehamrewop]

quality.

[maxyplims]

kirsty wrote it not tracy ullman.she didnt sing it till 1983.kirsty wrote and sung it in 1979

[brobson81]

Whenever i get depressed over all the x factor shite on tele i just switch this on and im transported to a happier place.

[mrwibbles1]

I loved the way Johnny Marr played to her. The guy was magic and so was she.

[8thRRFS]

Good tune. This lady had talent as a songwriter and a singer.

[vixie72]

never heard this version before, only Tracey Ullman's version, thanks for sharing

[Surfsmurf007]

Had girl twins on Sept 29 2011, one named Kirsty. She died a week old on Oct 7. I will always remember our darling daughter every time I listen to Kirsty McColl...

[nboldock]

@Surfsmurf007 Best wishes to you and stay strong. x

[ianstevens44]

A good tune

[stunninglad1]

Brilliant.

[allthistopostacommen]

This chicky used to sit next to me in class at high skool, how weird is that.

[Tottibytes]

I find it incredible that some people think other versions of this song are better than this one. No, no and thrice no.

[alexjrugg]

These artists listed next to her aren't fit to lace her boots.

[magicbanana]

Happy birthday, Kirsty.

[Farmlandsfallfan]

Brought this on Stiff records in '79, fantastic song, great vocal, unbelievable some people think Ullman's cover version is better !

[TheMarishka9]

What a haunting singing voice! And very original to me. I must rank her in my "10 the best female vocalists list"! Btw from all the versions I like HER presentation of the song.

[gofuckyourselfish2]

She died saving her son, that`s truly amazing..

Rest in peace Kirsty!

[nibornna]

@gofuckyourselfish2 that's amazing how did it happen?

[Asashan96]

@nibornna pushed him out the path of a speedboat whilst going on a dive with the family. He suffered back injuries but survived but she was killed instantly.

[cadmiumblue]

@gofuckyourselfish2 Not all parents would do what she did, she really truly loved her son more than her own life. As every parent should, but few do.

[dannidog]

Saw her at wollaton park in Nottingham summer 1993 and she was awesome, sadly missed 

[Mr3wbc]

Gone far too soon - R. I. P Kirsty

[lambrettali175]

Some lovely pics on this video, she was so beautiful, and what a voice.

[MegaTrainspotter]

God bless kirsty.....We love and miss you and your wonderful music..

[oakgaz888]

God bless you KIrsty

[duackside]

I love this song, Kirsty was an amazing artist with a beautiful voice.......absolutley the original and best. Her contribution to the music industry is sadly missed.

[marthacatgirl]

This a great song, but I like Tracey Ullman's version better.

[thekarenheart]

you make me fall in love forever-kenny-from das 80's

[tiasarahellielorna]

ive become totally addicted to this song love kirsty and tracy's versions the best think tracey has the edge with her amazing voice though

[polarisathena]

Simpler times when she came out with this song. RIP Kirsty.

[revol148]

@polarisathena in what way was 1979 a simple time then? Oh for sure the music was better then although almost any time in history produced better music then now.

[ClaresStuff]

cool 

[B17b25guy]

Well composed tune by the late Kirsty MacColl. She also sang back up on Tracey Ullman's cover of this song.

[Mascro1977]

sorry we lost you so soon but YOU are/were a GREAT mother!

[tomb1272]

I've heard this song a million times, and listen to it every day :). I like led zeppelin, Hendrix, etc but this solo blows my mind. The guitar sounds so perfect :D, and the song is just perfect :D peace xxx

[charlestbell1]

Thanks for this I only found it when looking for the Tracey Ullman version. I didn't even know who Kirsty MacColl was but now I do!

[dbeatlefreak]

Good job on the video. Very enjoyable.

[DylanMrBob]

Totally awesome tune! Love you Kirsty..x

[modsheff1]

reyt tune!
