Curiosity Killed The Cat - Down To Earth(live)

[EnglishChannel1]

White trousers - very 1980's.

[ausmensan]

brings a tear to my eye, fantastic tune, brilliant times, the eighties were fantastic to be a twentysomething in. This was the backdrop to my life, and I wish I could have it back. love it.

[MrMB040]

@ausmensan

Love your comment!!! wow

[LTTPUK]

This song started playing in my head earlier tonight without me even realising it - so couldn't have been THAT unmemorable :-)

[mccockers]

This takes me back to my days in the 6th form when you could dance and sing at the same time! How I miss the 80s. Wasn't life great then? Please can I turn the clock back to 1987 when I was taking my A levels and about to embark on 4 years at University!!!! Where has the time gone??? Im nearly 42!!!!

[alexs1969]

If only the music industry could look at what was possibly one of the most individual and cool boy bands from the 80`s.He could still be playing discs for small audiences ina chelsea bar but he was one of the most natural frontmen who had that little bit more than just a voice !! Curiosity lives on ..........and on........

[EnglishmaninAsia]

The 1980's really were a golden era for British music. Perhaps born out of the challenging start to the decade as anyone living in the UK at the time will remember when Margaret Thatcher took power. If creativity is a child of austerity, then perhaps the outlook for British music is looking up as the country find's itself in economic hardship again.

[khorrumg]

they seemed like an even popier, funkier version of Simple Minds a la New Goldream.....without the brass section obviously....even the singer (Ben) passed a slight resemblance to Kerr...though Kerr was better dressed...and had better make up!!

[twister5960]

This is a massive tune...still moves me anyway!

[andysutton1]

what a tune!!! still a classic.

[omegamann71]

Great  Popmusic !

[alfemichelle]

Oh great memories.

Eighties, brit pop and all the rest....

[beanie501]

love love this song...total blast from the past...and yes...happy days indeed. (dont remember his bandy legged dancing tho, does that mean I thought it was cool and danced like that too?!!)

[ritorto]

DOWN TO EARTH THE FILM GO TO THIS LINK-

[Darryl80]

The music, the girls and the styles. Gawd, how do I miss the late 80's! *Sigh*....

[Moniarte9]

I'm folling in Love for Skin... :))

[amaclaire1]

one of my old time favs! cant help but smile when i hear this :)) yes happy days!! xxx

[4thwsky]

"omg..I sooo loved this band back in the day...and wanted to marry the lead singer....where are they now??!!! After all this time..that record STILL stands up.....cheers!!! xoxo;]"

[bladrunner6]

isn't it funny how songs can take you back... i remember what kind of clothes i had then Ben Sherman etc who I hanging out with, who I was dating etc Jane [best not say her full name] was an angel. oh yes, the good old days, before the scruffy bastards from manchester Happy Mondays etc took over. I hated that scene in the early 90s

[itstoogoodtopassby]

i wanted to marry him too so sexy and edgy shame i didnt know you back then a double wedding would be great. xx

[4thwsky]

omg..I sooo loved this band back in the day...and wanted to marry the lead singer....where are they now??!!! After all this time..that record STILL stands up.....cheers!!! xoxo;]

[goonerneil1981]

tune

[interchemistry]

Note: Not live...

[rosendome]

que gran banda!!!

[poogg6]

GREAT FOR EVER. GRANDE PER SEMPRE.

[ghancox]

I always thought that despite their fleeting presence in the charts their songs were a cut above the rest - and 20 years on I haven't changed my mind. This song in particular stands the test of time. Happy days...

[DaveWBedford]

Yeah I agree. There was some gems among all the naffness of the 80s. This song is fantastic.

Seems like 100 years ago now though.

[AcousticUplift]

Personally I think little of the 80s music was actually naff. What's great is the diversity of the 80s charts. A soul/jazz influenced band such as CKTC could enjoy top 10 success. Mainstream/chart music today is sooo uniform in comparison. Very depressing.

[danny200677]

@ghancox Never truer words spoken. big thumbs up from me.

[caru1985]

este es otro tema bueno-soy argentina

[loved4onetimeonly]

...Curiosity killed the Cat ... the only decent music to come out of the 80s..

[atoosas]

Oh, I so disagree.

[corneliusbabycakes]

aaaaaaah 1987!

Camden market, 501's on, haircut at Andy"s, get warmed up at the spice of life and then on to the WAG!

Happy, Happy days

[grandsisterb]

A unibrow!! Great music!

[ryanxboxlive]

[54spiritedwill54]

They bring back good memories

[JackiG1234]

I actually used his eye brows for door draft excluders lol woooo

[Lardinho78]

Ben wa gypsey, for those that gave nothing to his tunes, I would guess,,, fuck you ^^ of all those that loved Curiositym enjjoy this to the full, as they were a great 80s band ^^

[barvida]

Is it true he donated his slug eyebrows to science??

[ThisCharmingFan]

Great song. still sounds good.

[sljf555]

Another great 80's classic. Does anyone know what the song is about?

[dogedacu]

ha ha I'm 42 now but still love this song!!! he was yum too haha what happened to music?? Bring back the 80's yipheeeee!!!!

[monroeboy80]

I remember reading about this band in The Andy Warhol Diaries about he was in their video. This song is quite good-nice distinct voice, like the lower register the singer has.

[robsmith1983]

Calm down barvida, its only Curiosity Killed The Cat! Steve Wright you can find on the afternoons/early evening slot on Radio 2.

[sanktalucia66]

Aaaaaa, Ben sure was cute!!! Love his hat.

[barvida]

They had more than 10 minutes!!and where are you steve wright you fuck

[bensolloway]

[ianwr000]

[eduardocool]

[4thwsky]

I feel sooo damn old now!!! Where did that time go people!!! ;[ Good times.....;]

[redbette]

[carot2003]

Great Tune...

[delphicgobshite]

Wow! I cna't believe this was over 20 years ago....IT MAKES ME FEEL SO OLD!!!

Great song though....I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics much before, but I'm certainly hearing them loud and clear now!!!

[fleetinglance]

Big for 10 minutes eh? That's rich where are you now Gary Davies?

[adamjamesbrowne1978]

It's Steve Wright, not Gary Davies

[fleetinglance]

of course it is, who else would be doin TOTP2.

i stand corrected. :)

[Nixenji]

OMG, I can't believe that this song is on YouTube!!! :D

Man, I love the Internet right now...

I lost this album years ago and havent been able to find it anywhere. :/

[expl0r0]

Great song,but its not live.

[xXflava01Xx]

[xXflava01Xx]

[verenawheeler]

TALL!!!

[xXflava01Xx]

[verenawheeler]

i shall measure him and get back to you. :)

[ABS936]

WHY YOU CALL MY DOG FUK OFF

[rockontomm]

Liked this tune as a kid and still like it now

[5258sandy]

This takes you right back to when you could understand the lyrics and dance without totally knackering yourself out. You didn't need ecstacy to have a good night out. Maybe I'm showing my age!

[MouthOfTheSouth1973]

I'm not sure about understanding the lyrics...when I was a kid I thought he was singing 'will you eat your bacon please' only later did I realise he sang 'will you ease your begging please'!!! Top tune though and it brings back so many memories for me!! Good post Andy2058

[JohnLennon100]

elevator music ...muzak ...

[mancomendoza]

I agree! there was good stuff before the marketing guys fukked it all up

[ajhow]

great song

i think the next one was "hay little girl" ice house,wot do you think it was????????

[Ambergold123]

Great song, great video and Ben looks pretty hot too. Good combo. It takes me back to the time before the money monsters came in and made everything bland and samey. Thanks for the memory andy.

[timpricedrums]

Live... yeah! About as live as anything ever was on top of the pops. Great song though.

[sljf555]

They bring back good memories

[edmcjones]

I don't know if it was mentioned yet, but this isn't live. It's the studio version. They're just lip-syncing.

Great song, though! Love it!

[tomstickland]

Nah, Steve Wright is a prick, though he can be funny sometimes.

[JAYLEEYATES]

steve wright is no prick just listen to his past playlists. Get a sense of humour

[kiwidjmeimei]

cool cats

[diffa08]

WTG ....kool as fook weeeeeeeeee haaaa amazing

[Liddleblue]

I have no idea why, but I watched this for the first time in about 20 years (oh my god !!!) and a sat here skrikin (crying) 1987 must have been an emotional time eh???? great to see it again, reminds me of ma blackburn girlies.

[jayneday46]

i agree steve wright is a prick, i love this song

[salN7]

matter of opinion..personally i think the 80s were fresh..orignal sounds..love the 80s

[TheGroove99]

Terrible 80's music, production & sound. The whole thing's dubbed. Terrible terrible 80's!!!

[Edogawa1117]

Wow!

It's much better now than it was then!

[noelydovetail]

isn t that steve wright some prick

[jhanlon18]

What exactly are you saying?

[jayjay123abc]

This track has always moved me and taken me to another dimension...thank you for giving us this wonderous gift, some of the best music ever made. I am in total awe. Love and respect to Ben and the others. Love Jay

[dales70]

Absolute Pure Class! I was 16 when this came out and I worship it! Thank you Curiosity Killed The Cat!

[apsert]

[qmstorm]

WoW !! These guys were part of my growing uo ... what a band, changed the music to COOL listening .. loved em to bits.. RESPECT big style and thanks to one of the most iconic bands of the 80's. wish i was back there !!!

[pigme1000000]

classic....

[DaftSwank]

Curiosity will always be one of my favorites for the rest of me life . . . There will never be a band as edgy sophisti-groovy as this again . . .

[sundaybueno]

great stuff. people be aware of the "music critics". they´ve murdered a lot of very talented artists. to them: keep the distance!

[15scottie]

Misfit is a jam i still listen to it today 21 years later.

[intosly]

thats confirmed i was there that night and very close to the stage no-one was miming there were what looked like electric pluggin systems along the front were all acoustics and vocal sounds were channelled through not like that now pity really

[mw777]

I always loved them!

THX for upload!

Ben is working on a new album?!!

I can´t wait to hear it:)

Eine der besten Bands der 80´er!!! Kann es kaum abwarten das neue Album von Ben zu hören...ich mag einfach seine Stimme;)

[verenawheeler]

Ben is in the process of recording an album, which will be out later this year... so I guess the wait is over for all of us kittens!!!

[wham4u]

Jesus....please some one bring him back.Gorgeous!!!!

The best pop song EVER.

[libwalker]

christ on a bike, this was 1987???? i am an old witch.

[libwalker]

[verenawheeler]

what do you mean, what happened?

[DaftSwank]

cool! Thanks for posting this . . . Am a huge fan of this band. There was a "non-miming" actual live performance of Down To Earth they did on Top Of The Pops I believe -- wish someone would put that up . . .
