During the time you would leave a note on your gate telling the milkman if you needed anything. Because his girl left him he needed no extra milk.... also "two up two down refers to a small town house in England with four rooms i.e. two rooms down stairs and two rooms up stairs.
And "gay" is used in the older meaning of the word "happy" "bright"
lol I like how people think the gay line refers to homosexuality... its actually in the traditional happy sense. Obviously whoever left the household cancelled the milk subscription or it got cancelled for some whimsical reason so his house gets no milk but originally the "company was gay" and they "turned night into day"...
Ik eis dat Frits Spits i de avondspits zal zeggen: De melkboer kan komen de kip heeft een ei gelegt,en daarna moet hij draaien No Milk Today van Hermans Hermits!
I'd never heard this song before I heard it on the radio today, then looked on here to see who it was by. I always thought Herman's Hermits was kind of a jokey band, but this a pretty cool song!
This song sounds wonderfully happy despite the sad lyrics. Joshua James did better reflect the grim lyrics by slowing the tempo down. Excellent lyrics in any case!
No milk today wär glaub ich mein Untergang, ich sauf meistens nen knappen Liter Milch am Tag :D :D :D :D Aber trotzdem, auch wenn das Lied 45 Jahre alt ist, es ist nicht schlecht!
since somebody had a sign "homosexuals are gay" mean gay not happy. it mean what we all today understand these days.... and since than no hetero man want to go in THIS company :D
Thumbs up if you miss when songs talk about love and other things important in life. Not about ho's and famous brands they use... And i'm only from the 80's...
@sup3rm1k3 You don't think I know that you condescending prick. Just because you know old music doesn't mean you have to think everything people type is serious. Now I am serious. Asshole.
@LittleDrebin893 Tut,Tut! Temper tantrums! A little over the top don't you think? Maybe not though for your generation. You're digging yourself into a hole of rot and getting deeper every day and the next generation will be worse to you than you are to me! So get ready....You've seen nothing yet! BTW, don't bother composing any more filth as your reply, because I won't be reading it. I have better things to do than look at rubbish!
yes Konterlove , i totally agree with you --- they don't make songs like these now .... today's music does not have soul . Thanks for posting such an amazing song, Monakier ! Greetings from Ukraine !
Greeting from Singapore! This song was Top Hits for months, when we were a young Nation. Imagine a family of five living in just one room!!! In three or four stories terrace house and in one of the 'Means' streets where fighting and killings is normal.
note that "gay" in this song means happy or something like that it has nothing to do with the sexuality. before the word gay had the same meaning like the word happy. later homos adopted it. :D
@Hijetala oh, funny thing! it's just like the story of the modern german word 'geil' which means something like 'horny'. but we have a lot of german suburbs and towns which have this word in their name. in the past it just meant something like 'joy' in sense of 'being happy' and had nothing to do with sexuality either :) haha I always wondered why a group from the prude sixties dared to say the word 'gay' in public and became famous with such a song ;)
@MareInTheMoon hmm, i dont really know what u mean by that, eng is my second language, but if ur saying that i hate gay ppl then ur wrong. i have nothing against them, one of my best friends is gay. i think they r kina interesting ^^
@StezzerLolz I think...THINK..He's talking about his girlfriend leaving him. That's why "no milk today" - he needs less milk, because it's just him now. "But all that's left..." from that point on. "How could they have known" is him wondering if the milkman knows why he's buying less milk..
nochmal für die deutschen hier: das wort "gay" heißt in seiner ursprünglichen bedeutung nichts anderes als "fröhlich"... die bedeutung hat sich im laufe der jahre verändert... das ist wie mit dem deutschen wort "geil", was heute etwas andres heisst, als vor 50 jahren :-)
what do they mean by "just two up two down" ? I have an idea but dont want to tell it, so there is no influence by my imagination. so what do you guys think?
I agree, back in those days it meant happy and has been turned in to something ugly-thanks to our youth. Still it 's a great song, brings back fun memories...
@TechnoPath99 gay doesn't only mean homosexual, it also means happy, colorful and fun . Not so sure that in the 60 people even used it as a word that meant homosexual.
That singer has amazing voice . I'm shocked. How could anybody sing like this , such a beautiful voice.
That's true talent , nobody used a computer to fix up he's voice ,
and the song has so much joy in it although its a sad song .
