Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky Mick & Tich - It's so hard to love you

[mlong1954]

Love that bass line :)

[quatt47]

I saw the band twice, the first time at Bolton in 1967 and the second time at Blackburn a couple of years before Dave died. Fortunately I was able to be introduced to the band and founmd them all amazing. Apart from the Beatles DDDBM&T were the best live band I ever saw, and over the years I've seen many. Some great records and this is one of my favourites. We used to play it in a band I was in in the 60's named Beau Nash. I particularly enjoy this track, Zabadak and Xanadu.

[moxie96]

and people like justin beebler (name mispelled on purpose) over any of the brilliant bands like ddbmt? insane world. No new pop song can be as good as this and dave dee such a amazing man and still had it to his very last performance.

[christopherjames22]

@moxie96 agreed on the other he was probably the justin beebler of his day

[Mpervetion]

Damn! this is a fucking awesome British group.

[pandemonsatyr]

Great sexy catchy song like so many of theirs.

[derekandcaroline1977]

r.i.p dave we all love.ed you xxxx

[Pipilat]

Apparently the song was originally called simply It's So Hard, but this was thought too suggestive by the record company in 1966.

[Pipilat]

Great song anyway.

[TheRgmsound]

this is good but still prefer The Honeycombs version. Joe Meek's cracking snare sound and amazing distorted guitar on the wicked solo are better. Honeycombs version not on youtube though, perhaps someone can upload?

[joemeek304]

first time id heard there version of this track which the honeycombs released in 1966, very good version

[otaku1881]

I am officially a fan of DDDBMT now that i've heard this. I'm 28 and play music. Grew up mostly on 80's pop, but I gotta say thank God for Europe and they're contribution to music/songwriting in general. "BUT I TRYYYY-AND I TRYYYY-AND I TRYYYYY!! I love this fuckin song man!

[MattHatter]

Oh but there's SO MUCH MORE otaku1881! If you like this, I assure you it's only the tip of the iceberg with DDDBM&T. I just got the out-of-print "Complete Collection" 2 disc set from 1996 and if these guys don't lift your spirit, what will?! With the way Dave moves and motions to the camera, I'm sure Russell and Ron Mael of Sparks were BIG fans of these guys. Keep looking up there stuff on here, try out "The Wreck Of The Antoinette."

es mejor jorge belmont

[Pipilat]

Such an unbelievably sexy song even now after 40 years.

[yrrabyllos6]

An unbelievable performance by one of, if not the greatest British Beat groups ever. Fronted by the great Dave Dee,who I would put alongside Freddie Mercury as the greatest front men ever,

We will never see his like again.

When you look at the shower who inhabit the charts nowadays......................­...........!!!!!

[Khultan]

@yrrabyllos6 Ha ha ha..no way.

[MMM758]

I agree. My heart melted when he winked or even blinked. I am so sad he is no longer with us.

[James1113]

OMG! That was a plastic comb with tissue paper wrapped around it on the solo! Sort of like a kazoo. How unbelievably cool! Anyway, awesome band, awesome tune. The world was a lot cooler when there was a Dave Dee in it. RIP mate.

[rm7guy]

What a great sound. Irreplaceable. RIP Dave

[sulis57]

[thePharoah90086]

I have This Song recorded by the Honeycombs (produced by Joe Meek ???) , too.

[sonidohomega]

Este tema fué grabado en 1969 en Guayaquil-Ecuador, por el grupo "Los Barracudas". Impresionante!

[sonidohomega]

Este tema fue grabado en Guayaquil - Ecuador por el grupo rock "Los Barracudas" con el nombre de "alcánzalo". Impresionante!

[THEROCKSTARUNIC]

fantastico lo mejor muy bien por los 60s

[bushido63]

This song is not a good representation of the band. "Hold Tight" and "Last Night in Soho" are much better songs.

[yellowwasp09]

not as great as the others but still good

[marvelguy6]
