Cardiacs - Suzannah's Still Alive

[C43iHK5R]

the greatest guitar solo i have heard tonight at ~1.45m. Magic

[pontello3]

THIS IS so english!

when uk was musically GREAT BUT IS NOT ANYMORE :(

[starbellyboy]

@pontello3 ugh jesus fucking christ I blow my lid when I hear this. There are still bloody great acts in the UK, and anywhere old and new alike. Too many to count. How is any good new band supposed to make themselves heard above the chorus of 'oh why isn't there any good music today'. How are they supposed to flourish when they just get ignored by nostalgic oblivious wankwipes? now get out to some shows or start your own fucking band you useless whinging FUCKhandle

[pontello3]

@starbellyboy

hey dickhead try to ask your mom to teach you how to respect someone else's opinion. utube is a free space you know?

[magicalbilly]

@pontello3 just becuase "utube is a free space" doesnt mean people arnt alowed to call you out when you're wrong.

[pontello3]

@magicalbilly

yes off course they are But no one should be allowed to be offensive is a matter of respect ..just because Y.T is a free space

[magicalbilly]

@pontello3 that was offensive?

really?

how old are you?

[pontello3]

@magicalbilly

why ? do age matter for you? do you have prejudice about "old" or "young" people ? persoanally i don't give a shit about age's people i see their brain ,not the date of thir birth

[magicalbilly]

@pontello3 you're acting like a five year old.

calm down and just enjoy the song.

[pontello3]

@magicalbilly

i'm perfectly calm & i did enjoyed the song! and do you like it?

[mioluce]

I swear Bill Drake can speak in telepathically through his playing. It's like he's giving you the finger in a really awesome way. Well when you get the finger it's always awesome, or not. MEhhh. Get well soon Timmy!!!!

[JanerNake420]

anyone got the mp3 of this I Need It

[Davewood88]

Oh god, not this band again. Their music makes NO sense, clearly extremely unprofessional, can't write a song to save their lives, terrible voices, no hooks or melodies and anyone who hasn't worked out I'm clearly telling the biggest lie of my life is silly. Can't wait to get that copy of 'Leader of the Starry Skies' - And I especially can't wait to hear North Sea Radio Orchestra's version of 'March'.

Get well soon Timmy, love and thoughts always!

[FatfighterXD]

buy the new cardiacs tribute cd that is going to be released all the money is going to tim to get him home. 

[jugophone]

best music ever

[spiritwo]

man, i still have it on a crappy little tape of it somewhere... i made an animation for this cardiacs cover first year in Surrey Animation college... so cool of you to put it up x

[RichGuy2000]

The Cardiacs does way better then The Kinks or Dave Davies. Number 1 The Kinks be going real slow but these guys are taking to the limit.

Also 1:45 is the best part

[Rumpio]

Fantastic - haven't heard this since about '88!

Great video, great quality!

[stoneagedinosaur]

Absolutely lurve it... Why is it not on CD???

[Rhademanthus]

More than twice as many views as the original. By far the best.

[WrrnMyr]

England produced THE KINKS and then England produced CARDIACS and then the LATTER covered the FORMER and ENGLAND WINS FOREVER AT EVERYTHING

[cardiacs74]

@WrrnMyr  - Being Scottish, I was SO going to argue there...but then...I can't...CARDIACS....made from unicorn tears, and angel breath.....they are the greatest band in the history of ALL things historic :)

[WrrnMyr]

@cardiacs74 Well, I think I was drunk and speaking in hyperbole when I wrote that. (But I still love the Cardiacs, stone cold sober or completely trashed.)

[bansisdead]

jamreaper, are there good cardiac arrests then? Maybe you should stick with some thing a little more tame like Rod Stewart, or Cliff Richard. Music is art, Good art doesnt have to make you happy, it can make you feel a whole multitude of emotions, hate is an emotion therefore the cardiacs have successfully stirred up some dead emotion in you, be thankful. Most of today's music is soulless shat, it is a pleasure to listen to something 30 years old but so very relevant.

[G0ggy]

It's beyond superb, please don't ever move this again!

[jamreaper]

this song nearly made me have a cardiac arrest and not in a good way i was horrified at this atrocity that was oncea great kinks song

and yes i kno a ton of people r gonna hate me for saying that

[stuffysan]

@jamreaper Why say it then? How boring.

[jamreaper]

well 1 i hate the fact that these tone deaf people have got fans by doing songs that arnt theirs

and 2. someones got to say it

[flyingmarlin]

@jamreaper They got famous from their own songs. The covers are just a bit of fun.

[4dorgan]

A classic! Get well soon Tim.

[flyingmarlin]

I need to download this song! Any links anyone?

Also... Sarah ;-)

[schwinglow]

@flyingmarlin use dirpy

[ATOMICROOSTER85]

Love them or hate them, I don't think there is anything "amateurish" about Cardiacs...

[Macromics]

A classic song played by amateurs.

[kristallin]

A classic song played by a cult band.

[captainlucy]

I am in lust with Sarah in this video! She's fantastic! :)

[kieganB]

whoever found this and uploaded it rules.  I've scoured the internet and back again but i can't even find an mp3 for it, let alone a full on video.

[dannysalbooga]

im not gonna lie shes pretty hot just cuz of her idk wut it is but she is hahahaha

[jugophone]

The entire Cardiacs catalog is in the process of becoming available on itunes!

[wegaify]

KINKS SIND BESSER

[Mercurybeam]

Excellent cover. There's a madness sound about it, with a far more excited vocal.

[wigmeistergeneral]

GODS

[britsploitation]

all time favourite band, I watch them in awe everytime. What an amazing cover!

[MechoMadness]

One bird with two stones.

[Rodrigoteacher]

Perhaps! But still a good version by a great band.

[therock557]

Watched this over and over and over, It's good shtuff.

[pikachops]

cardiacs thanks

[Legobricks009]

[Piedrascontrabalas]

[0ldScratch]

God bless you, gehennathehorse. This is magnificent.

[fowlskins]

never heard cardiacs do a cover version before it works pretty well

big fan of the kinks aswell so two birds with one stone

final push on jims face is brilliant !!!!

[paddyo702]

This is not better than the Kinks!

[SongsRock007]

This is waaaaaaaaaaayyyy better than the kinks!! XD

[SongsRock007]

I Love the beggining!

FISHES SWIM LIKE...

[Sprocket42]

SPERM!

[cutieme44]

amazing! Love the cardiacs so much.

Get well soon tim!

[littlestouffer]

Get well soon, Tim.

We're all missing you!

[bensteed123]

hehe, oh i sure do love these guys

who's with me!

wahey! =D

[lebedevas5foraim]

one of them looks like an older version of the guy from Rushmore

[toeragfilms]

was this originaly by the kinks?

[gehennathehorse]

It was by Dave Davies, brother of Ray. It's the only cover version ever by Cardiacs!

[kungfuasgaeilge]

I was just about to say this is very cardiacs, but with a mainstream feel to it

[CreepyTom]

For no specific reason I'd love to hear them try their beautiful collective hand at Bohemian Rhapsody.

We're routing for you and your wonderful heart, Timmy.

[paddyo702]

Yes it's a Kinks song, written and sung by Dave.

[crashtv]

@toeragfilms

Actually this was written by Kieth Chegwin in 1979. It was originally sold to Abba who bought the rights for 2 years. Later, it was sold to Dave Davies (of The Kinks) via a third party for a pudding. The pudding-worth remains unknown. Rumours abound that it was vanilla. New evidence shows it was probably caramel.

[Clarelovesangels]

get well timmy loves u all x

[UthersGhost]

Thank you thank you thank you...It is incredible to see so may Cardiacs classics on here. By far the best band ever...they deserve all recognition they get. Gehennathehorse,,,you are my hero ;)

[mickswann]

I've never seen this video before. What a treat!

[mistertarmac]

I'm in love with Sarah Smith.

[mickswann]

Hehehe. Me too!

[bazamah]

It's a very good cover of the Dave Davies song.

[FrankTownsend]

How bloody insipid do the Cardiacs make todays current crop look???

[adamg709]

Actually how insipid do they make most rock music sound by comparison?

[monapropertygirl]

@FrankTownsend they make any pop crop EVER look insipid

[jugophone]

i love this song. cardiacs forevah

[euruski]

Lemmy has wet socks?

[stephenadams55]

poor jim

[bassmonster62]

Actually it was Reading 1986!! They gave me a back stage pass and I did a piss next to Lemmy in the artist's loos

[DaDazey]

You thought you were, you were actually peeing in Lemmy's boot onstage.

Nice vid though doesn't remind me of Ray Davies a bit.

[themoonandroundabout]

This is surprisingly non-jarring for this band. The drummer looks a bit like David Cameron.

[PayniePaynie]

I made this video with Tim and band ... so many years ago, it's scary.

[bobotlaw118]

JIM JIM JIM JIM JIM!

[gehennathehorse]

Watch this space for more treats! Gehenna

[luxford60]

Wonderful, thank you gehennathehorse. I bought the 12" of this at the time, but have never seen the video before.

[gehennathehorse]

Sorry this has moved - I accidentally deleted it! It won't happen again. Honest.

[deadkennedy1]

believe it or not i saw the great cardiacs play reading festival 87  lol

[luxford60]

Did they play in '87? I know they played the year before cos that's when they recorded Rude Bootleg.
