Beautiful South - Manchester

[cdw9]

I am also from Manchester and live in Japan. Good video.

[Henryhedghog]

I love watching this video and love the song too. I live in Japan and come from the (beautiful) south of England but every time I am homesick I watch this video. The cars and the inside of an English pub on the video just make me even more home sick. The Beautiful South are a great band, ooh f+*k it, can I just come and live in Manchester...please.

[rachisthebest0405]

Haha wow, I'm from Manchester and also live in Japan at te moment. Love this video :)

[jesshanbff]

[lyndel69]

[02daft]

[PeckhamExile]

[dariusgreeney]

[andreachamberlain84]

It seems weird seeing pics of manchester after i have lived in new zealand for 8 years fab song tho xxx

[manchatescousers]

God I love Manchester

[andreachamberlain84]

[manchatescousers]

Well you certainly let your language down that's for sure you do know the difference of that I hope love xx

[madmancity]

Funny as fuck. Manc exiled in San Antonio, Texas

[luvstans26]

Tehehe funny dancing,I wanna live in Manchester now. .D;

[SteveStoneDadof2]

GO CHELSEA!

[STRAT197]

Fookin Scousers make me laugh - you low life lazy twats ..get a job, and stop robbing your own you scumbags!

Manchester the greatest of everything!

[taywil64]

The British Isles would be lost without it rain! Great song and lyrics. A much undervalued group - long live the B. South!

[swinginapig]

Like the Rain blew into Town Kidnapped the Sun and stole its Brolly....Fookin Genius!

[ilovenemanjavidic]

manchester is the greatest city going. with the best football team aswell:D no not city:)

[brizsey]

yea i like it up here friendly people and everyone gets on with each other unlike my home city lol,and i like were im living rochdale way never thought id end up marrying a manc wen i was a kid big up manny

[adeykins]

bullshit, the City of Liverpool pisses on grimy Manchester, Liverpool is the capital of culture & the Nortn West

that's a fact, Mancs!

[draculapw]

Manchester's practically the second capital of Britain... London, Birmingham, Manchester but Manchester's growing faster than Birmingham! Liverpool spawned from Manchester anyway! It was things mostly made in Manchester that Liverpool shipped abroad.

[rudie71]

think you'll find you WAS capital of culture last year you bumbling fuckwit. this year your back to being nothing haha

Manchester Vibes In The Area.

[brizsey]

nah manchesters great place im london born and bred but married a manc gal and have lived up here for 3 years havent looked back big up manny

[draculapw]

yeh nice one mate! people keep looking at the bad sides... Its not as if Liverpool has a Beetham or a curry mile or Britain's 2nd biggest china town or a gay village (not that I'm gay!) They haven't got half the shops we have! Manchester is nice nowadays... If anyone can be critical the worst era here was the 90s.

[NihilNominis]

Hmmm...English singing about the rain.

'Bout right.

I love England!

[adstarmem]

Lifelong pd fan. First time I've seen this vid. Now is it me or is this filmed at the same pub used in the first couple of series of "Shameless", the "Wellington" in West Gorton. I used to work nearby and by fuck it looks the same.

[wadsy]

no mate this is Billy Green's pub in Collyhurst but they do look similar.

[DG3744]

Is that really Billy Greens ! I wanna go there is it rough?

[MJDJSiddall]

no mate its not

i live near it

[billybooooboooo]

khalithistle why dont you shut the fck up you pretentious little turd. People like you give blacks and asians a bad name

[ZeldaHeroOfTime]

better than Hull.

[draculapw]

Iv been to Hull and it wasnt all that bad.. Just a shame your fishing ports n all that died off due to the fucking EU. GRRRRR

[Heatonsangel]

grow up you fools, its only a video, suppose to be fun. And get your facts right about what pdh believes in cus you obviously dont know...

a fantastic video and song........rain rain in manchester lol

[ballingall1984]

no matter what manchester is the best places to be

[caltip18]

yes thanks for making all people from manchester look like there from a council estate :\ cheers

[2009briannathan]

that true

[seventiesclassic]

I thought manchester  WAS one big council estate ( slum ).

I wouldn't go there if you paid me.

[samjones07]

You clearly don't have a clue and haven't been to the city properly then.

It's a modern and classy place that pisses all over London.

[jamsterdam8]

well spoken son.

[dontloveyouanymore]

council estate after council estate

good ol' england eh?? no

[walnutifumigate]

Khalithistle.....

Has your mummy been giving you too many sugary drinks late at night......

Stick to U2 and leave the Beautiful South to those who love them,you dozy bugger !!!!!

[khalithistle]

well whaddyaknow, a song about manchester whose video has nothing but white people. what a surprise. i guess that wouldnt have fitted in with heaton's fanciful starry-eyed ideas of "the white british working class 'oop north". kids jumping on an abandoned car, "ooh how heartbreakingly charming" coo the guardian readers! smug prick.....thank fuck they split up.

[somefantasticplace]

Since when did every music video have to have mandatory race quotas? There doesn't seem to be any mandatory white people in the average rap video.

[stuartscott1]

taken from the last ever album,broke my heart when they split.wish they would do a farewell tour?best songwriter ever.

[AnthonyHWilson]

Manchester is a digraceful little mill town!

[soldierrlc]

hahaha and what the sweet fucin hell do u call liverpool, u sad bin dippin, incest loving, disease ridden cock suckin cockroach??

[AnthonyHWilson]

You can if you like, I don't come from Liverpool or support any of their football teams. Makes you look a bit retarded don't you think!

The whole UK hates Manchester!!

[grahamball1981]

a sure sign of jealousy to me...

[spooner2006]

Manc til I die :D

[scooter10666]

gods lands

[somervizzle]

You're a complete cunt and while I can't condone gun crime I certainly hope you fall victim of it you pompous prick!

MANCHESTER!!!!

[AnthonyHWilson]

Tony Wilson is now being eaten by magotts, a true icon of the decaying mill town of Manchester!

[pokedatdog]

whys it called beutiful south ? when manchester is in the north

[buchanan1985]

wtf? thats the name of the band, manchester is the song title lol!

[louise20691]

Manchester the 2nd best city in the world of course the best has to be Leeds !! :P lol

[MCFCsince1992]

DIRTY LEEDS !

[louise20691]

Oh grow up !!

[MCFCsince1992]

LMAO xD

[louise20691]

damn that was a fast reply lol

[MCFCsince1992]

i know yeh im bored outa my head so im just sat at my comp waitin for sumat to happen lol

[bomberzak]

Paul Heaton - working class hero,

Up the BBC...

[lingopresley]

EXCELLENT PAUL!

[hancar]

Beautiful South is the best band ever! Paul Heaton's voice is just astonishing, it's unique and their songs are diamonds, every one of them!

[bomberzak]

What utter pish, i take it your a scouser, in fact nailed on, where a 14yr old lad just received 22yrs today for shooting an 11 yr old on his way back from footy training.

You scousers really make me sick.

Manchester, 55 kids shot dead wi gun crime a yr my arse, you are seriously deluded.

[talalc4]

you need to sort it out marcobuchal u fucking shit

[salimnag]

well manchesta's abit snowy 2day

[marcobuchel]

SPELL IT CORRECTLY YOU FILTHY INBRED

[salimnag]

yew FACKINGGGG CANT BAWSTARD.....WER YEW 4RM AY..AYYYYY

[dantweedy]

I love this video, but I think they under-committed to the bad choreography. That could have been the entire video and I would watch again and again. One of my favorite PDH/TBS songs. Space was also really good from this album.

[oliviaH921]

less of the abuse and more of the compliments!!!you cunt....mr heaton is a living legend,he is not up his own arse like most of your regular pop stars..........

[19ACR84]

Born and raised in Manchester.

I moved to California to be with my fiance.

You can take the boy out of Manchester, but you can't take Manchester out of the boy.

And i miss the rain.

[johnnymoondog]

No rain today, just heavy fog here!

[jdonaghey]

Love it...Ive grew up in Manchester...lovely tune!! very appropiate. GREAT CITY!!! xxx

[slumpedfrog]

This deserved to get much higher than No.41 - but thanks to the likes of Radio 1 etc, blanking them from their playlists, Heaton/Rotheray's genius was unfairly ignored yet again.

[aaronboi07]

Blancheboy07 is a scumbag

[russ7510]

another great beautiful south tune

[prikibruno]

Wtf ghetto

[CssOllie]

Where you from? Pakistan? stupid twat Manchester united would twa@ any team you support

[willjj]

liverpool twatted you two weeks ago

[CssOllie]

and we've twatted them many times before thats like the uefa champions league final beating us

[TheLifeOfAlex]

yeah they sure did!

[WarWithMyself92]

Well, I'm from Manchester, And you are way off. Firstly, Not everyone is fat, ugly and rude. Crime rate is pretty high. Nothing compared to somewhere like London though. Also, I walk through Manchester daily, I do not see 3 porn hops, or 1 for that matter, on every 'block'. Nazis.. No. AND.. I am, or never was a drug dealer or herion addict. It's people like you that are so pathetic that you need to try to bring the standards of something down to make you own shitty sub standards seem Okay. :)

[Blancheboy07]

Uh . . . WarWithMyself92, there's no reason to speak, you cum-guzzling gutter skank. Now shut your mouth. I can smell the tuna & semen from here.

And if you think I give a rat's diseased rear end that anyone likes me, you're stupider than I thought, which would make your IQ just south of a rotten turnip's.

[buchanan1985]

ahahahaha

[CssOllie]

Blancheshit

[uclrichard]

i think blancheboy is a scouser because he's totally ignorant, bigoted and massively uneducated...his spelling of 'pedophillia' is especially revealing of the kind of fuckwit we're dealing with...oh dear.

[tehfriendlygamer]

Where do you make up this crap? Manchester is nothing like your description Blancheboy07, and seriously i bet the only reason you say this is the place you live is disgusting and rejected by the world.

[fosterboy1234]

fagott paul heaton is a ledgond you toss pot nothing els to say on the matter you prick

[SarahhJessicaa]

See, your comment has got -6 AND been marked as spam?

Want to know why?

Because your full of bullshit.

Dont take the piss out of Manchester, second best city in the world.

[Blancheboy07]

It is shit, it was voted the worst city in england about four times.

[SarahhJessicaa]

And?

The people who live there, love it.

So stfu.

[Cally2903]

Blancheboy07 is a prick!

[hiveevzz]

Well, i'm not fat or rude, im not a criminal or a nazi or a peadophile or a pervert. I do not visit porn shops, and i am not on the BNP, i am not a drug dealer, or a heroin addict, but I AM A MANCUNIAN ;)

[tehfriendlygamer]

Yes Manchester FTW!!!

[elio779]

awesome song :D

[TheDrewsky]

sale and altrincham :D wooo!

[alan1970paddington]

what does the south have? are you having a laugh.? paul weller for a fucking start you arsehole

[southerner1986]

Ah... the North-South debate. As you can probably tell from my username I'm a proud Southerner. So I offer this: Manchester surely has its - and + points, but you can hardly compare it to somewhere like Bath, can you?! The clue is in the great band's title... The BEAUTIFUL South!!!

[einadh]

don't you get the irony?

[glaxev]

i think overall the south is better

but i mean think about the places in london like hackney, peckham, brent, lewisham, lambeth, newham, tower hamlets, harringey, etc

are some of the most poorest parts of the country.

overall though the north has got it worse, but i prefer northerners more, i feel they are more down to earth

[PD1968]

That's meant to be irony,you clearly missed the point.

[art72]

i'm from neither... somehow the tune really grown on me....

it's charmin....what's not to like.....

[a2ilool]

manchester hss oasis and the stone roses,and gene hunt:P what the fuck does the south have ?

[tomo26690]

to be honest man they got quite a bit but am wiv u all the way manchester - best city in england!

[crazyunderestimated]

For some reason I love this, probably as I'm from Manchester. :)

[Harveydale2007]

this is a gr8 song n true

the north is gr8 place 2 live its defo not dull n im so plzed am a northener n nt a southerner

[PeteGeeza86]

heatmiser86-stop the ignorance.There is good and bad eveywhere.

I bet your from the south?

I'm from the south,but im open minded and see good and bad the country over,it helps having family from the north and south.

[leeallen1232]

it was only key 103 it was on all time it well crap

[heatmiser86]

Is he being sarcastic? Has he ever been to Manchester? It's a shit hole, the people are the ruddiest, it smells and it full of useless cunts on the dole and yobs looking for a fight. The scene where the kids are jumping on the car pretty much sums up the city right there.

[Tessfer]

true dat

[EMMALOUISEJAMES]

fuck you pricks manchester is not that bad we have our ups and downs but who doesn't.

[Th1sCharmingManc]

A myopic viewpoint that tends to overlook the city comprises a vibrant social, economic, creative & business centre. A strong musical heritage, 2 world renowned orchestras (the Halle and the BBC Philharmonic), radical birthplace of The Guardian, the country's finest repertory theatre in The Royal Echange. And don't get me started on sports! The richest football clubs in the world, and current home of the CL and PL trophies.

Conclusion: you are little more than a certified fuckwit. Good day!

[BMDProductions]

you fuckin tell em son

[IqbalHamid]

Ha ha, U so funny.

[BMDProductions]

you're a wanker

[xboots]

this is really lame sorry

[lennonmccartney66]

Sod off!

[1337Hacker]

At the very start of the song it mentions aplace called partngton where I can bet Paul has never been before as it is a fkin shit hole.. apart from that i love Manchester!

[latinofuker]

boring fucking city

[middguy]

manchester!!! is greater!!

jaytee2121 your a wanker

[TheLocals2008]

[mistofoles]

This guy looks like Robin Williams!

[Cally2903]

Jaytee2121 - You're a wanker!

There's fuck all wrong with Manchester, have you ever been or are just another tosser who thinks Shameless is a documentary?

Get a life you prick!

[blackpool123456]

[dicko192007]

Legend...as is Manchester.....

[emmieloo26]

Wadda tune.

Im from Manchester and I love it.

'If rain makes Britain great then Manchester is greater' very true.

Its summer and its still flipping raining.

They still should have included Flixton in the song or Urmston (:

[NayyChik2008]

Heyy x

ive got a fact about paul heaton if you didnt already no... he plays for a football team. its called hardly athletic. i see him every wekk and look after his two kids...maisy and lauren.

[wkdwoman]

tell him i'd love 2c him in a pair of shorts :-) (perv aint i) but i always fancied him u need any help chilminding :-)

[southerner1986]

Hey, that's a top fact! Could you get me his autograph???!!!

[nonionsplease]

this is the most english sentence in the world: "i fell on my bum and ripped me knickers when the lory hit me with its boot, mate"

[dan290975]

in manc land today , a doctor got his car robbed while she was helping a old man who had been knocked over by a bus.manc's , don't ever talk down bout anybody else again ! yous are scum an so is your city

[2117jakob]

[alvinlwh]

I miss Manchester...

[joeREPPINls14]

Manchester wank wank  wank Manchester wank wank wank!

leeds leeds leeds

[strettyford]

What a place. Legendary, the home of music, the capital of sport. Cannot beat manchester.

[jordanj942]

Amen my friend!!!

[adeykins]

manchester great?..ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

not a patch on the mighty historic legendary city of Liverpool!

[gazrobbo57]

Manchester. The best place in the World. Come on you Blues!!

[sexysoi6]

ehhh.. what u like u digger!!

[BarryDeadrock]

Manchester reminds me of Detroit. Decent people but a lot of "scallys" and burnt out cars. Plus both have a massive, endearing "fuck off" attitude.

[AxMxO]

detroit lol there is about 500 murders a year difference.

manchester in general is a nice vibrant city. Detroit is the crud bucket of USA and always tops most dangerous lists

[bigfatuglypig33]

Detroit????? How could you even compare? Like AxMxO said, there is about 500 murders a year difference.

[Jack395re]

I like the song, i remember when it was played like every 5 mins by key 103 :D2 things i dnt really like, 1, he doesnt mention chorlton :( n 2, the whole vid is just what people stereo type manchester as, kids jumping on cars and girls with their hair plastered back wearing tracksuits, counsel houses and graffiti.. That isnt all manchester is, this vid is the CLASSIC view of a person whose never even been to manchester -.- "They think we're thugs we think they're snobs" jst talk to a londoner...

[bigfatuglypig33]

Is Manchester a good place to live? I live in Us.

[pembo18]

that's the point of the video, to give a stereotypical view of manchester, as if to say if this is what you want to think of our city, think it, cause we couldn't give a fuck.

hence, those who know better laugh and those who don't, simply, don't matter

[wkdwoman]

only eva played by key 103 mike toolan played it 2 death not that i was complaining luv the BS

[xvaughanx]

wooo chadderton:)

[toggerrie]

i <33 rainn

i <33 manchester

& i <33 this videoo :)

it looks so FUN! wish i was a part of it hahaha :)

[DirtyxLittlexBassist]

He's doing a fairly speedy walk at the beginning, giving people nervous smiles, lmao.

I can't decide whether he's complimenting or insulting Manchester, but it's a wicked song =]

[snogglegrass]

SORRY MR HEATON...YOUVE SOLD OUT !!!
