Catch - Bingo

[rachelspeedqueen]

Is the girl behind the bar at the end Amanda Holden and the woman at the bar Ruth Jones?

[Applemask]

The first thing that alerted me to the death of Princess Diana was the frequency my anus began to vibrate at approximately 4am that night. When I switched on the television a short while later, everything seemed to be okay - a repeat of The Chart Show was on, and they were playing the video to our Britpop hit smash, "Bingo" - but then halfway through my passionate tale of experiencing adult vices for the very first time, my handsome face was slowly faded out, and I learnt the terrible news.

[YouToich]

It's me.. 

[spinout3]

i love this..havnt heard it for years.

[sfgooner70]

Alex Petredis and his weird face brought me here. Yes, this is crap.

[brody789]

Haha, complete rip off of Sleeper's song Vegas, which also includes the word 'Bingo' in both the first and second verses.

Didn't the singer admit to being a huge Sleeper/Louise Wener fan, which is probably why he is also trying to sing, pout and pose like her at every opportunity lol.

[patrickh1001]

alright song soso video good chorus

[AmyMuffin]

This is really odd...I got here after seeing the song on the Princess Diana broadcast thing, and I just realised one of the guitarists now performs on stage with my favourite band as an extra guitarist (and I've walked past him a few times at gigs haha)!

[Swild80]

@AmyMuffin me too, i'm here because of the Diana vid.

[nondaroversgod]

Hey Ive posted a bunch of B - sides and a few Album tracks on my youtube channel ;-)

[bestbingoonline]

Nice, video...I like the way it is done.

[blueblackpepper]

Toby Slater is a sexy bitch.

[AndrewKevinNewtontv1]

the bad side to brit pop

[MongTheMerciless]

the death of diana must have come as a relief to anyone watching this shite when she died.

[Crewabs]

Toby's movement is annoying but the song is pretty nice.

[joiless]

Huh. So this is a song about playing Bingo by a band with a lead singer who dances like Invader Zim with palsy? That's... fascinating.

(Note: I'm here because someone linked me to this video because Toby Slater came up in conversation for God knows what reason, not that I have to justify myself to any of you.)

[OleVanDole]

This song is SHIT.

I only came here to see other comments on it ^^

[VincentBrooke1]

A song made famous by one of the greatest tragedies of the ninties. Ironically enough, the song itself seems to be one of the greatest tragedies of the ninties...

[fatbob53]

I don't think anybody in the entire history of the Universe could ever be anywhere near as annoying as that little prick. He has got to be taking the piss. Utter, utter shit!

[kaihiwatari111]

@fatbob53 nah justin bieber is 1 million tmes more annoying...at least catch wernt over commercalised like that nit lol

[LumosBE]

Great band, great song; though they seem to have disappeared or something...

[milkybarnick]

Is that Max Branning off Eastenders driving the bus?

[bantha75]

I was totally in love with this song!One of the best Britpop one hit wonders lol ... the second single wasnt near as good as this one

[freakyfadge]

the chick singing is hot. no tits, tho.

[freakyfadge]

the chick singing is cute. no tits, tho.

[hellopoompui]

Wow !!!!

Very long times ago...!!!!!!

[addey83]

WOW! This takes me back to my "driving around with my mates going nowhere in particular, just passed driving test" days when we used to just play loads of CD's and have a good laugh with no worries apart from where the next zit might pop up! LOL. Thanks for posting and thanks for the memories Catch

[FMan905]

Brill song - had it on CD single - remember them?!

[thochaos]

I've been trying to remember this song for months, don't know why, but thank fuck I finally have.

[A7XB3X]

hahahaha i can't beleive it, i know all the words and haven't heard this for about ten years!?....I didn't even know what he was singing about back then lmfao!!

[birchual]

i remember this when it came out and its funny how you don't realise how much the song is fitting in with the era. This is so 90's indies its unreal. The video could actually be a parody of the band sleeper.

[swankers]

I don't think I've ever seen the whole video, awesome! Loved this band, lol.

[fuzzface100]

God, I would never, ever get bored of punching that lead singer. What a load of sh!t.

[starhealer14]

id bum him

[cheekymonkey1979]

If Menswear were the Beatles, Catch would be the Monkees. Love it. Plastic Brit-Pop forever!

[manfilth]

I'd be overwhelmed if anyone posted the video of Toby and the guys playing 'Bingo' live on the Jack Doherty Show soon after its release... Quality!

[deadplanet22]

Looks like he's getting ready to suck a dick?

[HeathenLoveGod]

@deadplanet22 He can have mine :-)

[FleetwoodMax24]

Good old toby and co lol

[MarkArandjus]

This used to be my fav song when I was a kid. Lyricially I still think it's great and though a bit popish and bland I can still relate to it, hehe.

[nli10]

I do love all these 'pre-busted' legitimate but manufactured/artificially hyped bands.

It was a golden age really, with the Chart Show and all that. I guess online means we can watch anything we want these days though.

[LadySkylla]

I liked that song very much, it was a major hit and played on MTV all the time in 1997, at the end of my University years...it sounds awesome, brings back memories of a life without sorrow :-)

[repoman1980]

For some reason "Dive In" (Catch's other (s)hit single popped into my head today. Had totally forgotten about this one. Having now heard it again, I wish I was deaf

[ifridaynight]

Love this song. One of my fav song.

[thelovepigeon]

I loved this song. It's one of very few singles I bought back in the day that I've actually kept.

[trippinonbud]

this is a great song shame the boys never had much sucsess in blighty they made decent pop music!

[TissueYuYee]

thank you for posted!

i'm trying to find MV from Catch :)

[ErNavarroWatson]

WOW......!! nostalgila!!!! UTubie is indeed pretty miraculous [Jeez.. whut a crappy word ;P]. always wondered where they now are. ha!, indeed too... Vernon Kay :)

[cyanspeaker]

the singer was hot and I had a crush on him. Wonder where he is now!

[russ7510]

this was a great song at the time,but i'm notsure it stands the test of time now

[greenheather]

Wow, this song randomly popped into my head so I had to find it!

It's almost as though Vernon Kaye and Napoleon Dynamite had a child!!!

[bennymanyhats]

I remember seeing this back in the day and thinking how the the 90's indie scene had just had a rather bland death.

[shaft121]

This is one of the first singles I got. Got both versions of the CD single in a 'lucky dip' thing my local record store did. Liked the song but never realised they were as camp as this video makes them out to be. To me they were like a younger Supergrass at the time.

[matcardinal]

just stand still you have no carisma, still good song though

[stephen9746]

He looks and sounds like girl

[nixified]

@stephen9746 that's exactly what makes this shit marketable to adolescent girls. i was 12 when this came out and we were all swooning over hanson and the n00b that was leonardo dicaprio as well...nothing terribly masculine about the eye candy of the late 90s. probably why so many of us have turned out to be vahj hobbyists.

[porridgeandbananas]

I mind watching The Chart Show repeat the night Diana died and it broke from this video to a newsflash with the first reports of an accident! As gay as I remember, poofy wee shits.

[linda81th]

Catch!!

Miss them a lot..

Still remember those days they came to Bangkok to promote their album...

[oifatboy]

first single i ever bought,haha

[kapibio]

me too!

[mikeshorin]

Does anybody hear wannabe Oasis? To the tits kids, to the tits.

[Ahkinum]

Was he singing about going to Bingo?

[patmick9700]

Good song, but he sung it too camp.

I'd bum him though.

[tathya7]

man i miss good old 90 bands

[tathya7]

ooooooooooooh one of my fave band way backkk

[russ7510]

this should at least been top 10

[russ7510]

i loved this tune,i cant understand why this band never really made it

[deddyBRI]

i really love this song, it reminds me abt my teenager :))

[8aap8]

cant believe i liked this song back then LOL. aw its cute anyway.. nice to see it back, thanks

[Gemmaukok]

I totally agree with Mercatoria82 lmao

[MarkArandjus]

Damn this kid was a pederast magnet xD

I'd probabyl hate this song have I heard it just now... allas I had it on this CD when I was a kid x]

[professersex]

I share the same situation and sentiments.

[mercuriopiccoli]

this was the worst song of the 90's!!!!

i hope he' s on the pipe now....

[hughoatcake]

This made #23.

[82nobby82]

its shit

[Gulftastic]

The last verse should have seen them locked in the Tower.

[ZackoriahHolland]

why was this not HUGELY popular?

[freakyjasonpowerslam]

@ZackoriahHolland Because it was emo bullshit.

[RosenCat84]

I really love this song =)))

[klimperklumperelfe]

Ich fand den Song toll!!! Wo sind die Jungs?

[imitationleather]

The worst song that was ever faded out to a news report about Princess Diana colliding with a French column!

[Mercatoria82]

lol.. why did i remember this song being good!!!???

[valmurah1]

soooooooooo bad. sooooooo goooood.

[internetmale]

musical equivalent of Dachau right here

[WlNDAGO]

this is a decent pop song, unlike those dick-pulls mcfly.

[emily70]

THIS IS SHIT, IM GOING TO PUKE

[davedavid86]

this song makes me sad.. it makes me miss Princess Diana..

[ghoosebump311]

even i was borrow the cassette from my friend, i can tell that they were one of my favorite band EvEr.

just like mouseyhousewife...i was at my young age hearing their music for the 1st time.

anyway, could anybody send me 'maybe tonight'....plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzz

[ghoosebump311]

even i just borrow the cassette from my friend, i can tell that they were one of my favorite band.

just like mouseyhousewife...i was at my young age when 1st time heard they music.

[mouseyhousewife]

I like them, They came out when I was 14 and was expecting them to last a bit longer! Looking back I suppose they could have been the Busted or Mcfly of their day.

[jodieoliver]

Wow I love this song its one of the first singles I ever brought.

[davedavid86]

after years of being traumatised by it, this is the first time i've seen the song in full.. i was traumatised by it coz this was the song they played before they announced the Princess of Wales' death in 1997..

[Johnsterdude94]

to all the people who dont like it, why are you watching it then?

[melyscerys]

That's what I keep wondering. Some people obviously have too much time on their hands.

[JorSex]

@Johnsterdude94 I don't understand how you can decide if you like a video or not without watching it first.

[Sesquipedaliantique]

@JorSex This. I see the "why are you watching if you don't like it?" comment on nearly every Youtube video.

[jadeplocka]

@Johnsterdude94 Because it's so horrendous that it's captivating. Like Rebecca Black.

[JasonC1782]

@Johnsterdude94 It's the musical equivalent of rubbernecking at a car crash, that's why.

[Jamiep84]

Worst. song. and. video. ever.

We should kill whichever fat 50 year old corporate record producer wrote it and sell his expensive $5000 suit on eBay.

[chariline]

Toby composed the song himself.

[robdonkey]

He IS a slapped arse!

[garybrewje]

he's got a face like a slapped arsehole

[oodatoodat]

heh, cheers for this, i remember seeing the cunts on TOTP and thinking "this is... bad."

[nothinglikeyouandi]

i wrote this song in honour of princess di and dodi. because you see, nowadays....

[bandyb]

yeah mrmalade defo a sausage jockey.this song just came into my head its awful!

[redfeathers81]

Wow, I really can't believe this is on here! I used to have this song on cassette but threw it out years ago... regretted it ever since, thought I'd never hear it again... this is so great for memory value, thanks!!

[morbidglory]

oh man. Ive honestly been searching for this song for 11yrs!

I remembered the name of the band but it makes it hard when you cant remember the name of the song since their name was so common.

Thanks :)

[alexhiggins80]

Thanks for sharing.

[joiless]

@superfurry6 Cool story, bro.

[joiless]

@superfurry6 Now I don't know what to believe.

[dgivy]

toby slater most certainly needs to get on you tube...thank you for posting, I am a huge fan of his, and of Catch...his voice is amazing...and he is beautiful inside and out! he is so young here!

[mrmalade]

I think it's fairly obvious why he's never had a girlfriend.

Definitely a sausage jockey.

[sl84]

Is that Sharleen Spiteri singing!!

[missqwan]

i adored Ben Etchells back when I was 15. Gosh..9 yrs ago. He was gorgeous xx

[Cuzalino]

shite.... a piss poor reminder that there was as much dross in the charts back then than there is today

[MandysEvilTwin]

Not really, this didn't even go Top 20

[ChrissyboyH44]

ok good song but please someone tell me, is he gay or str8?!!

[richardbrophy]

Why the fuck would that matter?

[ChrissyboyH44]

it dont really, just wonderin!

[winalennon]

I really Love this song

thanx for uploading this video :)

[catchza]

I love them

[richardbrophy]

Possibly my favorite song about going to a brothel.

Don't laugh. There's more than you think.

[vrslil]

Wasn't one of them Angus Deaytons son....if you know who he is!!

[paranoidandroid555]

nah, that's Toby the singer you're thinking of. His mum dated Angus for a while years ago but they're not related. Oh God, I can't believe I knew that!

[milesnimrod]

OMG i bought all three singles in a charity shop last summer i love them they should have ahd an alb i think there great!

[spallsy01]

[chriswales19]

This is bloody good for some strange reason ! Its certinally catchy

[internetmale]

hahaha, the only band who could make menswe@r look relatively credible

[carlweatherslovechil]

This is so bad I think it gave me cancer.

[rhonda1475]

REGARDING:

Tetrisrock (1 month ago)

Hilariously, this song was interupted on ITV's chart show to bring the news of Princess Diana's death. I saw that show on ITV at aprox 3.00am I thought that my t.v had turned to black screen becuse I hadn't paid my electric bill, untill the news crew cut in... I recorded it on video and when I play it back it always breaks my heart. LONDON ENGLAND..

[lennie3000]

la la love it

[supermama13]

I got their cassette . oh it's 10 years ago..

but not is broken .. so sad ...

[Tetrisrock]

Hilariously, this song was interupted on ITV's chart show to bring the news of Princess Diana's death. I bet the Queen was right pissed off. Big Catch fan.

[imitationleather]

This is one of the most appalling songs I've ever heard.

[PenttiVargSthlm]

my favorite song all-time!

[geebus83]

they were sooo young. loved this song back in the day. i bought it on cassette.

[platinumblond666]

OMG i lov this song i got it but its not on c.d so u know how old this song is then lol

lovin&buzin

plztinum_blond

[superfurry6]

This song rules!

[flufffyjack]

love this song ... Was listening to Dive In just today... If only the album had dropped! Hear Toby hated it though

[melyscerys]

It was released in Indonesia! I found a copy on Ebay a while ago. It's not as good as the stuff Toby's done since, but it's still an enjoyable album :-)

[flufffyjack]

aye - apparently the English tracklisting was supposed to be different mind... Man, i wish i could get a copy of the indonesian album - ill keep my eyes peeled on ebay!

[chariline]

my fav of all time !!! thankx a lot.

btw , do you have any more of them?

[melyscerys]

As far as I know the only other video they did was for Dive In. Someone else has uploaded that. If you search for 'Catch Dive In' it should pop up!

[jamespo]

aaargh! my ears my ears!

[bonfunkjc]

Well done Sir!
