  • entra in testa eh...?

  • This sucks!

  • lol- wire haters---no one put them on the map. prolly never heard of the clash either?

  • nice vid

  • Elastica is better

    hands down

  • @jack1701e Wire is better

    hands up.

  • @jack1701e Elastica were a bunk of trust fund junkie chicks who let some fat dude turn them into the Monkees. Now they're all scientologists. LOL

  • This band should thank Elastica for allowing people to know who they are. Elastica "made" this song, these guys just wrote it. Kind of like the Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston thing.

  • @thatswhattheyis ....lol, one of the more revered punk bands of all time, but us ignoramouses need to thank Elastica for putting them on the map? LOL....I'm actually sad that morons were able to experience Wire because of Elastica. I'd prefer you never even heard of this band....thats the way most of us like it. We don't want you to know who the bands we listen to are....and it really sucks when you find out the way you did!

  • Sorrrrrrryyyyy... Go have your secret love time with Wire and be done with it. I am sad that I wasted my time listening to Wire and to give them a chance after you told me how great they are. I just listened to a bit of Feeling Called Love and finished it out with What's the Frequency Kenneth. REM's take is superior.

  • @thatswhattheyis how will anyone live without you.

  • @thatswhattheyis I think REM covering them probably got a lot more people to know Wire than Elastica sounding suspiciously like them ever did. Not to mention the countless other bands who have covered them. I haven't counted, but I'm pretty sure there are more Wire than Elastica covers on YouTube!

  • @thatswhattheyis so elastica is ON CRACK ROTFLMFAO

  • lol people say this is better than elastica? cut your ears off. they aint doing ya any good.

  • without elastica i would never heard of this song

    and if both bands got over it

    im sure everyone else can too

  • this video rocks, and thanks for introducing me to that new band. haha! seriously though, its cool to see a film maker have good music taste 

  • love this and love elastica. so, ha ha!

  • This was'nt the only Wire song that Elastica seemed to be listening to either! "Line Up" sounds suspiciously like "I am the Fly" and "Nothing Stays the Same" like "Kidney Bingos". Not to mention their Stranglers "cover" "Waking Up"!

  • THE IMPOSSIBLE

  • from their NEW album???

  • Wire >>>> Elastica, this is obvious especially when looking at the total canon of each band.

  • Where r these guys from? Their hysterical!

  • Shockin how they ripped orff Elasica. .

  • @blackcluck Dude, this song is from the late 70's... Elastica came about in 90's... In all, you're so very wrong, you should really do some research before you blast off verbal rubbish..

  • @guyfromnewcastle There there, steady on, in actual fact my comment was only a little joke, no need for research as I have owned the Pink Flag album for many years now, though I am more of a Chairs Missing man to be honest.

  • @blackcluck

    I love it.

  • @blackcluck Believe me, nobody has ever ripped off Elastica!

  • this aint bad

  • Elastica cover...

  • Elastica may took the beginnen chords of Connection from here...but Connection is far better! I guess the Wire were jealous, haha!

  • vraiment pas convaincant

  • they settled outta court but these guys got $0 from Elastica so i dont know wat they settled 4? props maybe... coz this is a blatent rip off as u'll find

  • just wanna rumba

  • Elastica settled out of court.

    It wasn't a cover...it was theft.

  • @professionallynasty They put it back where they found it I hope.

  • I take the Elastica's cover of this song but nevertheless props to the original version

  • Very nice.

  • menswear also ripped this song off. both elastic and menswear based their entire sound around wire's.. cover bands at best.

  • This song came out around 15 years before the Elastica version. So of course they got it from this song because its too similar. That drumbeat in the beginning is identical.

  • Love the 'from their new album' bit...

  • a connection is made - elastica did rip them off!

  • this is good, but i like elastica better.

  • I do too.

    They jazzed it up. . .

  • Hah, haven't heard that song for awhile.

  • When did you shoot this?

    Anyway I like it.

  • Back in late 02/early 03.

  • elastica copy paste !

  • Great Vid, love how pink flag (which came out in '77 is new to you. [i hate when people call good music 'old music']! keep up the good work!!

  • my god...I like the elastica song 'connection' and just read that they had ripped it off from this song..and didnt they just lol.. oh well imitation is the best form of flattery i spose....p.s. GREAT VIDEO

  • Imitation is the greatest form of flattery but it will cost you in court.

  • It didn't cost Elastica anything!

  • They settled out of court

  • I have three neices who are good at maths . Maybe this is their rhumba .

  • great ! So glad to hear this again !

    That was the only song we did that we didn't wrote (I dont know the accurate word for this : covered ?) with my French ColdWave Band !

    Thanks ! Nice video especially !

  • very nice! cam flows very professionally. cgratz
