  • jimmy has not got aids u freak!

  • source?

  • its all the marrid men that go cruising at the so called (gay) area which is full of so called(straight/bi men)that spread sexuall illness! 80%plus of men that go crusing are marrid with kids! whats your dad or boy friend been up to lol! plus do u ever see condoms etc at straight bars and clubs no! str8s just fuck up a wall out side and dont worry as they think aids is gay think! just think of africa not many gay there! do some research. we are all to blame!

  • who cares about "most people?" sommerqueer has it, and is on meds, period. end of story.

  • jimmy is so cute in this video... love him

  • Most people who have AIDS in reality are heterosexual. There are almost as much homosexuals with AIDS as there are heterosexual.

    So stop associating AIDS with homosexuals and get your facts straight, you misinformed homophobe.

  • Go fuck yourself loser.

    Oh, and by the way, Smalltown Boy peaked at #48 on the Billboard Hot 100. So take your own advice and shut the fuck up.

  • good, you can use google. that still doesnt mean you know what youre talking about. you needed google to help your argument because you werent around in 1984 and dont know what the fuck youre speaking on. go away you useless queer kid.

  • lol "i assure you" that this vid from years before i was born was popular, LOLOLOL! it may have been but it is not anymore.

  • The music is cool, but I'm not sure what the video is about.

  • Afraid not. To be honest I didn't know who Bronski beat were before watching this vid and i couldn't care less that they're poofs. I just find it amusing how fucking mental you are. You are a true internet psycho. Congratulations Ted.

  • "To be honest I didn't know who Bronski beat were before watching this vid"

    yeah right, you just stumbled on an obscure 25 yr old video and decided to watch it. you are a terrible liar.

  • I don't mind that you send me an abusive comment to my channel comment. I couldn't care less...you are just sad.

  • Please do not reply to stupid Dr Steelhammer as he is a very abusive person who has no regard for anyone else. Let him post his homophobic rubbish as much as he likes. Do not respond to him and he will go away.

  • That is the truth. I'm not old enough to have been about when this was big, and its had 243,620 views so hardly obscure. Incidently considering the amount of comments you've left on this video you must have seen it more than anyone and your homophobic anger probably stems from your love of the singer. I doubt he would be interested in a lunatic though, so you'll have to carry on dreaming.

  • it is very obscure unless you were around in the 80s and/or are gay. this isnt what most people come looking for. you werent around in 1984 so who cares what you think. you will get aids and die soon.

  • So all 245,642 people who have viewed this are gay and will die from aids? You are a lunatic. Your probably sitting in a grubby basement with a half empty box of kleenex rubbing one out over this video.

  • no, just the sick jerks that take what i write personally. thats how you weed out the fags from the real music fans. see, arrogant fags think this is a "gay video" when it is not. get over yourselves. this is why i hate fags. they are just full of themselves.

  • *yawn*

  • keep on responding dickhead....

  • You are the only one that has been linking this video to homosexuality. Your the one harping on about aids and poofs. This is a music video not a gay message. Get over your own arrogance you closet gayboy.

  • get over yours and stop calling normal people closeted because they dont support your lifestyle you disease infested freak.

  • My lifestyle? You've made inferences on my life through youtube comments- have you perfected psychoanalysis of youtube? Honestly though read back through the nonsense you have been writing and then try and call yourself normal! You are a mental case, you are far from normal.

  • It wasn't obscure back then, I assure you. They were as popular as Depeche Mode in the United States at one point. Then Somerville left the group and their popularity died down.

  • sommerville has become resitant to his current regimine and may stop all meds and accept death by aids. i will keep you all posted. this is what taking it raw gets you boys...

  • pickyournose is the prototypical gay thin fag who thinks he is hot stuff who will soon get aids from all the whoring he does. all that work you did on yourself wont do much good when youre rotting from aids medications. oh well. aids is a great disease. all the vain fags are forced to watch themselves rot financially, physically and mentally. whoopee! karma is a bitch.

  • You are completely insane. What are you gaining from these worrying tirades of nonsense? You should seek help. I reckon your homophobia stems from the fact you are yourself gay, you must really hate yourself.

  • i reckon you are a classic thin skinned gayboy with no sense of humor.

  • You must have a psychological disorder to be so upset at something that isn't much of a big deal.

  • He doesn't have AIDS you fucking homophobe. Fuck off and leave Jimmy alone.

  • he has it and he posts on the AIDSMEDS forums under an alias you ignorant motherfucker.

  • you're a fucking liar. if he had AIDS I doubt he would even be surfing the internet.

  • Nobody's buying your bullshit. ROFL you're completely pathetic to believe that people would believe you. You have yet to tell me his screenname and I have yet to see any proof that he has aids.

    No proof = No AIDS.

    I win. You lose. Eat my shit, loser.

  • Do you have proof that I am gay?

    I never once stated that I was gay you dipshit.

    Oh, and it's quite obvious that you're a troll. Nobody's gonna believe that Jimmy has AIDS now. Way to ruin your credibility, you lonely, simple minded, unloved, uncared for, has-friends-out-of-pity-for-yo­u, annoying, tiny cocked, prim and proper, poor c­u­n­t, okay?

  • No, it's just that I know you're a bullshitter because there is no proof in your statements.

  • Actually Dr Steelhammer, Jimmy still looks great. In fact better than ever..very trim and I'd fuck him. He has got better as the years have gone by. I need a boyfriend, I hope Jimmy is interested.

  • he is bald

  • Wikipedia says nothing about him having AIDS nor does it say he is dead. Fuck off you liar.

  • DoctorSteelhammer-Proof that the internet is inhabited by fat balding mentally disturbed losers. Why do you care if he has aids or not? You sir are a complete and utter lunatic.

  • not fat nor bald. proof youre a moron. and probably a gay one.

  • oh this fag is british? why did i bother responding? hope the muslims blow you up soon. until then, i will go watch footage of their bombings of your buses and trains a few years ago. what a great day.

  • how do you know about this? are you kidding?

  • sommerville has aids

  • so what he will still be one of pop musics underated vocalist...he will alwasys be remebered for his hauting vocals

  • finalmente ho trovato questa STUPENDA canzone!!!! sei grande, Jimmy!!!!

  • Good Bronski Beat version of a jazz great.

  • WHO FARTED?

  • Beavis?

  • BUTTHEAD!!

  • i didn't understand the end!

  • I always thought Miss Piggy was singing this song...

  • genial simplemente un buen tema

  • Great version of classic song. Jimi's natural falsetto is so incredible.

  • This song was so hot in the 80's very runway

  • KruppaF - no irony ( though ) irony "is" the word of the Lord, no granny's dead.

  • ich wusste nicht das er schwul ist und die musik habe ich zwei jahre nachdem sie schon da war in der ddr verschlungen sie war einfach nur geil bis heute höre ich sie zwar nicht so oft wie damals aber wenn ich sie höre muss ich an früher denken. danke

  • One of the greatest songs from Bronski Beat! :)

  • he made his home in that fishers abdomen

  • pretty!

  • I really dont understand this video?

    whats the deal with all the mince pies??

  • The video is a parody on the theory behind part of the lyrics, David v Goliath, and that the Bible shouldn't be believed. i.e. Somerville shouldn't be able to eat more pies than the big guy.

    In a sense it's disagreeing with the initial point of the original tune, that the Bible shouldn't be believed.

    I mean, did Jonah really live in a whale? I don't think so .. :-)

  • Frank, you've missed the third option. Let me help you out.

    3 - Eat pies.

  • my granny read the bible all the time and she's dead!

  • you must be joking right?i fully understand irony, im afraid Frank doesnt but you really shouldnt give him -6 for his opinion

  • was Jimmy Sommerville Gay? I always wondered!

  • are you serious you can't be serious my head just explodededed3qe22rq3q3t5631566­13q

  • I've never so much since 2 days!

  • I mean « never laughed » lol!!!

  • This is a joke right? Unapologetically gay. Have you seen the videos for Smalltown Boy and Why?

  • wow

  • genial!

  • you knows what jenious about jimmy the combination with digital and soul im listening stone and finding always new things you are true artist where others

  • At this very moment, 9:19 pm eastern time in Lindenwold, New Jersey, my 7 year old fell in love with Bronski Beat. As I type this she is doing her interpretive dance and begging me to join her. My aunt introduced me to them in '83. she would be soooo proud.

  • yeah lol me too!!! :O

  • Fan"fuckin"tastic! Bronski Beat Forever! Pure Art.

  • this song is fantastic the best of bronski beat!!!!

  • this one video very beatiful and the music in the principal moment of the song...................GREAT BRONSKI BEAT

  • Wow, wonderful!

  • My favourite song of Bronski Bear and the most underestimated one. They never play this on the radio, only the other stuff.

    The tune is just phenomenal. I do only know the video version, is there a difference to the LP version?

  • i've been after this tune for bear time. thanks for upload!

  • qualsiasi cosa significhi la canzone e sicuramente una delle canzoni + belle fatte in quegli anni....grande jimmy

  • tous simplement Mmmmmm love song

  • i biscotti in chiesa li poteva evitare cmq grandissimo jimmy somerville

  • BRONSKI BEAT!!! YEAH! I still have original LP from 1984! greetings from CROATIA!

  • great version of this song

  • what uinke in the bronski beat jimmy the talented band but what astonished me how the fuck you can combiend computer rythems with soul esspecially in thev eighties i adore him

  • this version of this song is GENIUS...period!

  • now that you mention it,I remember being in my teens at the time,and coming out of the closet was the newest fad.Strange coincidence that it happened at the same time that bronski beat hit the scene.The music was great,but they did glorify same sex.

  • are you saying you came out and coincidentally Bronski Beat emerged?

    no, I know what you mean, all these teens were coming out like it was going out of fashion because it was the newest thing! Well, if they were that trendy then they were gay, lakemaniac! and to goodyr1885, I don't sleep with the same sex; I get bummed by them and I'm quite awake!

  • Fabulous more please

  • How was it fuck art?

  • Coming from a Dutch guy who still listens to The Beatles and likes Motley Crue? You belong in the wrong country, Londen. Birmingham, Alabama, sounds like a good destination for you.

  • That crew is nowhere to be found in my

    favourites, Maroccan Sassi,maybe a

    secret motley wish....¿?(¤)

  • Hey I live in Alabama and do not like motley or listen to the beatles but I do listen bronski and other 80's greats.

  • How many years do they get for blasphemy? ? ? ?

  • I saw this clip only once before in England and this was the only song I have heard from them at the time. But then of course I have heard of the Communards. Now that I'm mature, completely understand and now know the name of the song. While I was there between 1986 and 1989, I had no idea all three were in that life.

  • jadore bronski beat, i love jimmy somerville.this video is my favorite great song the best.שיר מדהים

  • Even better than the original. It's the best version of a true classic piece. Cher and Sinatra didn't do it this well.

  • NOBODY could do it better! How would that even be possible? It's so jazzy with this little bumpy rhythm. It has a cool bass line. It is just so well put together. And a little sax with some scat singing and so much more (too much to list). WTF! Hole Smokes Batman! Loved it then Love it now! THE sign of a GREAT song - it crosses time and borders.

  • so coooooooooooool!

    thanks for posting

  • a drumist, ha

  • so many mine-dedectors!

  • I´m remember was a nice Time.

  • Don't you want to go back in time to the 80's when you were young and life had such possibility and hope for your future?

  • Einfach geil!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i reckon that is squidward playing the clarinet.

  • hahahahaha, yes...indeed... so if they needed a drumist they could have got Patrick

  • yep & spongebob himself i can picture singing this down at the crusty crab.

  • isnt this in the army?? on one hand, why would they be in a church, but if it were a prison, why would they be doing drills?

  • I like the clarinet in the opening

  • genial, fantastisch, superb,

  • Why were they banged up in that prison?

  • famos

  • e x c e l l e n t !!!

  • Grande pezzo, il mio preferito dei Bronski. L'hanno cantato a Sanremo, mi pare nel 1985

  • They should have missed out the "necessarily" IMO

  • Best song off the whole album.

  • I can hit the hign notes better!

  • I've shagged some of my female friends, so yes they probably do if they fancy each other. having a drink helps as well.

  • the guard at 1:05 is hottt

    btw it ain't necessarily so

  • i guess its about opposing the religious belief that one isnt supposed to eat for 12 hours before recieving communion (the church bread from the priest/vicar)

  • E' raro sentire il clarinetto in un pezzo pop, sono felice di sentirlo qui, è grandioso!

  • why they eatin pies and takin bets? Dont get it!!!!!!

  • Ain't necessarily so!

  • To the guy who said that Jimmy Somerville has a "girly-voice," please don't embarrass yourself by displaying your ignorance. The correct term for his voice is counter tenor. They usually tend to sing classical music. JS uses his counter tenor voice for pop.

  • cool song - way back in the 80s this was quite cutting edge - the cultural reference of the video was a film called scum which was set in a borstal (youth prison) with all the unpleasantness that you would imagine this entails. In the eighties the song and the video reference to the movie scum and it contents made a lot of sense that it is difficult to see now back through the years - to those of who lived it - we salute you jimmy

  • it was an old song from nina simone i think

  • George (music) and Ira (lyrics) Gershwin, from "Porgy and Bess".

  • Someone hear a cover of this version I guess it's more lyrical the new one I heard, in a movie or serie, I don't remember.

  • One of my favorite songs . . . And this

    group is fabulous . . . excellent arrangement -- superb vocals. Hard to

    believe the song was done 23 years ago.

  • Fab clip on a great version of this Gershwin-classis...

    Heavenly voice of a still very good looking "boy"

  • bigup somerville!!!! even if he is a faggot hes still a good singer!!!

  • Does it REALLY MATTER these days which way

    he swings . . . his voice swings [and I don't think they use that terminology anymore].

  • what? im not having a go at him im bigging him up so calm down man

  • haha yeah, while simultaneously insulting him. you're the nicest asshole ever.

    u c wut i did there?

  • shut up you stupid mark i wasnt even talking to you so go and play with your daddy

  • your original comment was directed at no one specific, so there is no reason i shouldn't address your ignorant ass.

  • oh yeah good point sorry man, but i do like somervilles music

  • Great version of this song, still one of my favourites. I don't have to wait for broadcasters to decide if it's cool again, I just get my LP.....

  • i saw this band at edinburgh playhouse and it was fantastic in every way possible

  • when you saw them ?

  • i geuss what specail about this song that make him so beatiful and touchy is the clarinet the pkayer is aesome as well as the keybord player one thing for sure even pop have soul isent it cool i diden thought it could have been like that before

  • Perhaps I'm a purist, but this cover seems to take a particularly pungent dump all over George Gershwin.

  • As a gershwin song, it does suck, eh? but I think as a music video, it's kinda awesome.

  • I respectfully disagree with you both. I find it a beautiful and haunting version. Vocally and musically. (Do not care for the video at all.)

  • another beatufil song from bronski beat

  • Imagine this army in action. Vogueing their way into enemy territory.

  • Is there anyone out there who could explain to me the official and mysterious reason why The Age of Consent is UNAVAILABLE to the i-tunes subscribers of the Euro-Zone? I'm desperately seeking an answer here.

    PLEASE TELL ME WHY????

    cheers in advance for your answer.

  • thats wot i mean.soz if it sounded rude nd ignorant

  • the problem with the bible is that we wil never b able 2 undo the damage it has done 2 the world

  • hes got a point though coz the bible has caused wars, kept ppl in the dark in fear of redicule. do u really think we should all b of 1 religous belief or 1 skin colour or in this case sexuality. should we really hav 2 go bac 2 the dark agges of superstition, ignorange and fear. no.

  • well if you ask me i dont care about the bible i aint religious so i wont be caudin no wars. i reckon people take it too seriously thats why there is wars and stuff

  • It's been years since I heard this song on the radio. The jaziness of the music is what got to me. It's a cool song.
