Captain Sensible - Happy Talk (singalong version)

[theblondeone1977]

Many reasons I love this song: It came out when I was a little girl and I have a parrot just like the one in this video called Lily :-)

[123jsbach]

sing along and cheer up any miserable bastards oot there. X

[HiddenRoom1974]

Can't believe this guy was in The Damned !

[snitch3396]

just one question, whats a happy cuss??????

[Applekothari]

@snitch3396 a happy, annoying boy.

[dolanm56]

@snitch3396 Cuss means profane language, swear words curse or cuss words

Listen carefully he's actually saying Im a lucky Cunt

[woodlandsteve]

That parrot is just like mine, she enjoyed this video

[JDRepyourhood]

dizee rascal

[GrooveBold]

[GhouledKS]

@GrooveBold He's the Captain!

[Hiak0]

@GrooveBold He is the great, Captain Sensible!

[pranky4]

im a lucky cunt

[blazzingsaddles4]

This song is like a time machine; It's just transported me back to the 80's.

[ZakanaHachihaCBC]

found Waldo

[natmanprime]

this brings very strong memories...of when i was 4! just this song, like its deep deep in my memory...this and 'you can't hurry love' by phil collins...prolly cos i was forced to be at some humiliating childrens party...the embarrasment plus the song are seared into my memory

[tom6lillie5]

jim'lls half brother.

[chutchybo]

number 1 in summer 1982, i remember it well lol

[neil73]

Anyone remember the B side to this single? It had a pice of music on it called 'It', where the Captain played an Oberheim synthesiser - It sounded fantastic, really futuristic kind of sound back then. Would love to hear it today, just to see if it still sounds futuristic...or dated!lol!

[yourwonderful2]

looks like paul merton!

[veggie42]

tribute to Sir Jimmy Savile this reminds me of him how the Damned bassist looks in this with similar glasses... Constanmtine booth is right to want this played as it's more fun than a miserable song RIP Jim rest in peace :'(

[tinca1tinca]

@veggie42 agree but Capt has not been on bass since 1978 has been lead guitar since then till now! He can get the lead to do what he wants behind his back or with a can of beer! he played a great tribute to Sir Jim at the Damned's 35th tour in Nottingham the other week R.I.P. Jim

[gilllew]

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS FROM 1982 (CERTAINLY NOT THE TYPE OF SONG YOU'D HAVE EXPECTED TO HEAR FROM A BAND LIKE "THE DAMMED") ALREADY HAS ME LONGING FOR THOSE LOVELY LONG SUMMER EVENINGS. CERTAINLY DOES HELP TO LIFT YOUR MOOD SINGING ALONG TO IT.

[thechuckwagonsupreme]

the start of this song i felt like shit, now i feel happy. what the fuck just happened? lol

[SeymourJoon]

Wow!!!!



[andyfell87]

south pacific ayy it

[Budisgud69]

@vorkutaman Legend...

[lunalovin]

what the fuck

[Budisgud69]

I like listening to this whilst off my tits...

[1nceBitten2wiceShy]

That parrot isn't dead -- it's just stunned! (or is it?) - 1b2s

[coletteobrien12]

me too.

[Adrianne0301]

@coletteobrien12 what do u mean?

[ynotyrrebrac]

The capt' didn't sell out, he ripped it, good egg!

[Adrianne0301]

this was my music test song...i love it so much

[Bamafiend2010]

@lundehund44 Haha true, that's the punk attitude when you get down to it. It's all about no real care for others' thoughts concerning you

[lundehund44]

@mitzibishi ...and who really cares?

[PattayaWarrior]

i had this song repeating in my head last night on an awesome acid trip. you guys should have been there...

[TheBraybeatles]

@PattayaWarrior. Sounds divine! What a song to trip to. Must have been a happy trip.

[PattayaWarrior]

@TheBraybeatles it was so divine such a joyous occasion :)

[ConstantineBooth]

I want this played at my funeral.

[ZachariasClub]

@ConstantineBooth THAT IS THE BEST IDEA I HAVE EVER HEARD

[goppa321]

@ConstantineBooth i thought tha!!! how werid:):)

[TheMansfieldlad]

@ConstantineBooth lets hope its heard  at a church near you soon.

[scottrocks66]

HAPPY TALK

[NucularTheArtist]

wtf captain sensible... why are you making this kind of music instead of awesome gothic punk, but more importantly, why the hell is this so DAMN AWESOME ANYWAY?!?

[levlafayette]

@NucularTheArtist Therein lies my conundrum as well. This Roger/Hammerstein "be happy, everything's fine" attitude is such an antithesis to what punk was about. And yet... through a peculiar combination of irony and honest intention the Captain raises the spirits. The guy's brilliant.

[TheRanhyn]

This is THE greatest version of this song, it is so feel good!!

[MrLollopot]

I love it, so wot

[seagulleveryday]

WHAT. THE. FUCK

[alaun64]

He must be such a happy person to live/work with

[scottrocks66]

best song must be in sing

[Rednilec]

I had a great day today. Something totally different from the depression I had to fight for years now! This shall be the soundtrack for my future!

[AlexB1001]

@Rednilec

LIVE LIFE TO THE MAX :D

[YYxGlitter]

O_O

[IMAspiringToGrace]

I think he sounds a little like David Bowie

[discominge1]

TOTALY FANTASTIC LOVED IT X X X X

[sallygal7]

Hard to explain why this is so lovely, but it is.

[aaronmonkeylover]

@BuddyFantastic I first heard this song sung by Daniel Johnston. I assumed it was his because it sounds like something that Daniel would write. oops.

[wideheadofknowledge]

@aaronmonkeylover It's from South Pacific

[tdrury]

Cheapest video ever! Great song though.

[GregGR69]

Thanx for sharing mate!

[oystermind]

Kind of awesome

[dougaldog2002]

Not children's voices, Pattiepie. It's Dolly Mixture a band that often backed the Captain on his solo stuff.

[bethanychurm09]

wow cool

[pattipie100]

Julia will love this as it is childrens voices :) :) :) Thanks, I'll save it for her.

[samhain66]

Cushty !
