Superb Style Council doing what they always did best - a great song, powerful undertone in the lyrics, and brilliant cool music. This was the 80s at their very best.
Not only was Maggie Thatcher right to shut down the government subsidised mining industry in the UK, but it also pissed people off enough to make great music like this. Paul Weller might be an economic ignoramus but he's a very talented entertainer.
Yes bad times, where did all the unemployed people go? no body ever addressed this great loss that has never been filled, sorry dont want to spoil Pauls singing, xxxxx
@davebchester This has to be the best response to the unschooled/unwashed that I've seen for a while. How sad that some people simply have no clue, even after all these years. Long live the Modfather.
@elderberry666 are u kidding thats paul weller remember the group called THE JAM remember or do u,hmm maybe not,well its paul weller,paul weller paul weller nuff said.
@morseman4 I don't think you understood what I was saying, it was meant to be obvious that I knew it was paul weller, and that I was stunned that @thecityofdomes referred to him as "the guy with the dark glasses", hence the quotation marks on my first comment. Apology accepted.
it is about Class difference ... I remember the miners striking and as soldier we were on stand by to fight them ..thank god we did not there would have been a revolution.
Paul likes hot black chicks. Ain't nothing finer than a hot one. Ain't nothing worse than an ugly and/or nasty one. I thank God for hot black chicks every day.
Mick Talbot is so angry, to emphasise the angst of working class towns across the land. The time this was written was a very grim time in the UK. If u check out the lyrics it's about not trusting the Tory (conservative) political Party. The large painting is of coal miners & Maggie Thatcher was closing down all the Govt. subsidised coal mines across the country back then.
dont make fun of mic talbot! hes expressing himself through his sporadic motions...... oh no wait i think a saw a girl under the piano doing something.... ewe
@aresewz that i may be but with my free health care i can laugh at your grave because you couldnt afford that operation and died. i bet you call me a commie next.anyways let me know where your from, im prayin its the usa... then we can have a real debate if you like?
@unclerickie1 I believe the song is about pissed off people "shouting to the top".....we are angry and we are shouting to the top...plus, look at the pictures in the video....this is the theme/message I think...or maybe I am just pissed off and want to shout to the top about how crazy our current President and Congress are! URRRRRR! Shout to the Top mate.
@komikero ...Ha, ha, ha! That's funny! His expression is definitely unique. Real musicians who feel passionate about their melodies, express facial & hand contortions. A great pianist FEELS every note within
his soul, and transfers this INTENSITY to his fingers (along with his face).
@komikero really scary how people are so unaware of the name of the song and the pictures on the video that obviously relate to social unrest caused by England's class system (which hasn't died)...something which is still going on today in the news (if you read)
I know this is extremely annoying but I am trying my hardest to gain an audience. I'm UniqueEverlasting and I post daily vlogs and it would be wholeheartedly appreciated if you could view,thumbs up/ comment my videos and subscribe if you find them enjoyable.
Piano, lyrics, the moves, sheer cool. In a decade where nobody could argue against music being called 'original' they stepped out and brought us something beyond original. Still sounds great today.
If people aren't prepared to put up with VEVO, the simple solution is to go into a store and pay for music you want to listen to. VEVO is here because the music producing companies are fed up with people freely listening and downloading their music over the internet. And it's fair enough too, they're music COMPANIES, not CHARITIES. Personally, I feel privileged to be able to listen to great music for free whenever and wherever I want.
