The Kinks-village Green

[gloomyoutlook]

Sounds EXACTLY like Handel's Harpsichord suite no. 7

[maybe1daymemay]

is

[maybe1daymemay]

this song makes me think how short life ,live your life to the max never look back make each day count

[bourdon30]

personally I love everything about this song, in particular the fact that the British accent of the singer can be heard distinctly, which makes it more genuine

oh yeah! and I love the movie 'Hot Fuzz' too, where this song is featured - I had the chance to realise that I'd totally misjudged the quality of this film based on the poster [sigh!] - I can't believe that I could be so mistaken

[amrl]

A great song by a great group... but the video is horrible :/

[SuperPissflaps]

I HATE HOT FUZZ ITS SHITE

[lordbenlee]

@SuperPissflaps it is, it's, apostrophe for the missing letter

[THEGUVNOR91]

i'm pretty sure this is the song in hot fuzz im searching for though when searching all i can find is the kinks village green but sounds nout the same, for all i know this is the kinks since i know fuck all bout music but why do the kinks n this sound so differnet.

[sedg166]

@THEGUVNOR91 You're lookin for 'The Village Green PRESERVATION SOCIETY' off the same album, completely different song

[TazakaLOL]

The village fucking sucks, trust me i live there, i want to move to the big city.

[golden24680]

HOT FUZZ!

[rosswood0602]

[AsboJunior]

@rosswood0602 my discounts are crimanal

[golden24680]

@AsboJunior Catch me later!

[AsboJunior]

andy: you have a church fate to go to.

Sgt N Anglel: I DO NOT HAVE A CHURCH FATE TO GO TO.

Frank Butterman: actualy

out in the country, far away from all the noise of the city theres a village green.

(Hot Fuzz) oh i love that film

[stefanislame]

[johanspilzmann]

wow 3D

[TheMooviemooChannel]

A GREAT BIG BUSSHY BEARD!

[petr1cech1]

HOT FUZZ...!!!

[Akterleichbent]

23 people don't like the animation because it's impossible to dislike this sing.

[AwwlookatOlaf11]

Where do you buy this? Gaaah... it's not on iTunes or Amazon.

[JOSECHETATRIBUTE]

Ray Davis & The Kinks remain one of the most underrated bands of all time!

[GreenhouseEffectGE]

Who are the 23 Douchebags ?? It's physically impossible to not like ANYTHING from Village Green.

[skateanddestroy10909]

thumbs up for stefan janoski and his steezy kickflips

[75283skate]

@skateanddestroy10909 they where switch....

[iloveskating17]

[ultimatevie]

@iloveskating17 switch flipp!!!!!

[hazzystan]

Great song, matched with an outstanding video. I'd proabably go as far to say that the animation is on par with Pixar.

[currypot1965]

@hazzystan Lol this is prototype pixar

[barcodeboii]

stefan janoski kills it

[Mortimore008]

it's funny how hot fuzz has two songs by the kinks that involve the word village green.

[sk8itup919]

it sucks that 22 people pressed the wrong button :/

[lalamon83]

[BeLiketheSquerrl]

[gslik88]

this is probably the best video i've ever seen on youtube.

[kieran514]

[ThatOneAgain]

Gotta see Hot Fuzz again, then, didn't know it was in it.

[EliteSpartan663]

Copy and paste if hot fuzz brought you here

[newfful]

Yes the movie Hot Fuzz rox!!

And great song, I've always been a Kinks fan.

[oOdeadFrogOo]

Hot fuzz!! Pegg rules! xD

[shnen2]

I ve always loved this song since I discovered it on the reissue of preservation. Im a bit sad that I wasnt the first to discovere it though. " they snap their photographs and say gor darnit, isnt it a pretty sight!" Lol.

[whity72]

At least in those villages he describes we are not disturbed by the motherfucking islamic muslim-fascists... thank you for all those nice songs, Ray!

I love their songs... Sunny afternoon, Dead end street, Australia, Waterloo sunset, Apeman, Sitting in my hotel, Alcohol, Living on a thin line, Session man, Two sisters, Some mothers son, A long way from home, Helga, A face in the crowd, Brother... - THE KINKS ARE MARVELOUS!!

[supasap]

I think Kinks sing about the idea of England and Englishness without ever crossing the line into national front territory which you seem to occupy..... presumably the villages are not disturbed either by mentally challenged young white male chavs ...

[Ruzaini07]

don't mocked others religion.. its bad for ur health.. don't be racists..

[renotsecniv]

Good song.

[nQQdles]

Hot Fuzz... lol the church scene in the country.

[irgendwas4]

I found this title because of Hot Fuzz, too

Where ANGEL was jogging ... ^^

[LuckyNinja99]

I think you're getting mixed up a bit. Village Green is at the Church the Church fair (if I remember correctly) and Village Green Preservation Society when Angel's jogging. No matter, for this is a lovely song

[TweekleDee]

Eh, that was The Village Green Preservation Society.

This played during the church fundraiser.

[hassellopf]

Ne net wenn er jogt ;).. das is wo er auf diesem kirchenfest is :D.. das wo er joggt ist village green preservation society :D

[TweekleDee]

I love Hot Fuzz so, so much.

[BBLLAAGGHH]

thats the only reason i typed it in on youtube XD

[87angels]

LOL

[tetsuhuku24]

[nozscrap]

This song make me cry.

[minmelethuireb2]

This is the best fan video ever.

[WannabeG00D]

anybody know other songs in that style? not necessarily by the kinks, but in general. this song is so amazing

[marcusqwerty]

Check out pandora (dot) com.

[marianneootjers]

Grocer Jack (EXCERPT FROM A TEENAGE OPERA) by Keith West

[marianneootjers]

lovely song :)

[totalburke]

dis sng wuz in hot fuzz in da church prt

[youarenowreadingthis]

Why do you have to type with such awful grammar? You fool, you sound like someone's smashed your head with a bat.

[TOMMASCRAWLEY]

lol

[TOMMASCRAWLEY]

no, i think it was

village green preservation society not sure tho

but is it just me or have the kinks made a couple of songs that are similar

[plumelapatte]

Funny video! I've covered Village green with my group of mates. Visit my youtube profile and enjoy. Oh and there's Lola too and lots of other covers. 5 stars for your video and the smiles I got from watching it.

[grumb123]

Why the fuck isnt this Downloadable from Itunes

[Dabinuk]

What?!... This isnt downloadable!?....thats pure and utter Crap!

[mot828]

@grumb123 do you no how to use itunes for free ?

[grumb123]

@mot828 Had no idea it was possible to use it for free.

[mot828]

@grumb123 first download you tube converter.download the song you want by copy and pasteing it. then go on i tunes and hold ctrl+o and then it should come up with your files find the song in the files click on it then it goes onto ur libary then plug the ting in ;D

[TheGamerLand]

@grumb123 You can download the video with a program called MPEG Streamclip

[ConsumptionMayCause]

easily as good as the beatles...now i entrench myself in preparation for attack. *clench*

[1seekspie]

No clenching necessary. The two bands have similarities and have a large fan-base. They're very pleasant and refreshingly not trashy. Now if you had said a band like "The Jonas Brothers" were easily as good as the Beatles........well.......I'd advise you to hide.

[soundsokf]

and the aggresion would be very forgiveable

[nick9fenske]

and ur a fag and a bitch

[Jwo32]

Fair enough, your eloquent and clever comment has made me look quite the fool. Now fuck off.

[SkunkishMonk]

Dear god I hope you are kidding.

[Jwo32]

Yea of course. The Jonas Brothers are a cynical marketing tool by Disney, plus they fucking butchered 'I wanna be like you' by the incomparable Louis Prima

[Jwo32]

I hope everyone realises that was a joke.....

[rombengan]

yeah i hope they know it......^_^

[worldsno1drwhofan]

ConsumptionMayCause

Of course they're as good theres no need to hide - anyone who says the opposite obviously has no real musical understanding or knowledge of great music.

[dinolauando323]

they sound like the beatles

[Vertyesterday]

...and nothing is wrong with that...

[Mozzer232]

Nope dino...They sound better...

[grumb123]

Hehe :D This is my favourite song from Hot Fuzz. . . glad i found it

[deanna4270]

this is my favorite song of all time..glad you found it

[AppelmetAppel]

good song :)

[jamesdixon24]

brill great pictures for a four year old

[tc5arelove]

this video is so cute.

[Eggs4Eva]

cool song!

[L0rdxyk0n]

Thank god you were here to save us music generalization squad. Without you we would be lost in ignorance forever!

[MongersUnited]

wow way to cut off the last few seconds. that's the most important part!

[emremokoko]

I think the pictures are very good for a spastic 4-year old ;)

[bubbles1306]

cute drawings! i love this song. and stick people.

[pietrogutta]

yearning for the idyllic clean village green, the angelic harmony of the green fields-not this abhorrent hazy, dark, smudged city with all the chuggin' of trains and planes, the cacophony of modern music,the greed, depravation, the logorrheic politicians...

[soundsokf]

hey that's more in the mood of Apeman rather than The Village Green, both from The Kinks

[mewmewpower111]

to me,the Kinks we the the first punks.THey sang about who they were and where they wrer from

[davenikko]

the drawings make this vid better lmao

[spearlymatt]

lmao, dont be so hard on him,

this is a great song, and i defiantly love the drawings.

[psychocrazydude]

love the song you could"ve taken a little more time on the drawings though

[AIDEEN64]

good ssong shite pics

[MagdalenaPanic]

You do know what a steeple is, dont you? It looks nothing like a square house. It is the pointed top of a church.

[DriftSk8tr]

givem a break..its still a good vid

[constanzavictrix]

Magdalenapanic - you should know that the person who made this is not English, not European at all in fact. Steeple is not a word that would be in constant use in the basic English of some one from their Continent.

[MagdalenaPanic]

How would you expect me to know that!? Why is everyone so angry? I didn' exactly call him/her stupid, sheesh. Calm down.

[drummaboi182]

damn wish this was on iTunes.

[Vitaminlove1212]

it is on itunes

[EASkateTV]

haha

[ricebaker13]

i love this song

[roadbikemum]

Daisy says Hi.......x.

[minutegongcoughs]

Terrific track. Ignore the drawing comments. Humbug!

[midn1ght09]

you coulda just put an album cover instead of those crappy drawings cause it ruins the song!!! now every time i hear this song i see those stupid pictures

[parallaxengine]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA SUCKER

[rombengan]

hahaha...thats my main target....

so u could see the stupid pic....

[raam848]

luvly song :)

[malayabotax]

Mateelaaahh Gipan!!1 Wakakakakak!!!! Budus Ko Ni..

[CherryGarrard]

What a great song. Was expecting the Village Green Pres. Society, so this was a very pleasant surprise. The Kinks sound so modern. They also sound very English - rakish and charming.

[angryenglishgirl]

well they are english so they would :)

[CherryGarrard]

Most British singers sing with a vaguely American accent which is so ubiquitous we don't even notice it. The Kinks, however, don't. So there.

[angryenglishgirl]

oh ur right about some...but i love my "accent" so i sing like i speak (with the upmost of decorum lol) p.s. i put accent in speach marks because to me i dont have an accent

[CherryGarrard]

I have the most RP English accent in the world and of course, to me, it's neutral but it would be sheer arrogance to suppose that it's not technically an accent.

[angryenglishgirl]

i was saying that when i speak and my friends speak i dont immediately hear an accent its like there is no accent to me. i do hear other accent becuase im not used to hearing them :) sorry for the bad grammer

[CherryGarrard]

Never heard such a load of old bollocks in my life.

PS: your spelling's shocking too.

[angryenglishgirl]

i give up!

[beatbelly]

newer mind the bollocks

we all love this song and

god save The village Green

[vqlinh]

lol, isn't the ending "we will talk" instead of we would love? :D
