Songs like this make me wish I'd grown up in England listening to British pop instead of the mostly mediocre stuff I grew up with in North America during the 70's/80's.
they're a brilliant band but ultimatly they only got famous because one of their lesser songs was used in a ford escort advert, a picture of the car was even on the cover of the single lol.
The violin was played by Bobby Valentino. Put is name plus "UK" into Google but try to avoid the R'n'B midget. Bobby had to go to Court to get a writing credit.
This song fuckin kicks ass, man!!! I heard it when i was a kid my dad had the video on video tape and now when i am in a shop or store and i hear this song i fuckin sing along it's such an amazingsong i love it so much the lyrics are so true!!
Bananarama had a song with the same name in their first album. Is this a cover of the same song, or a different one, because they sound very different.
co-wrote along with Hodgsen of the Bluebells, and according to the outcome of the copyright dispute, Bobby Valentino, the violinist now has a writing credit for it!
Ken's a great musician. He sang with us at a charity gig a few years back (on First of the Gang to Die by Morrissey) and he was great... wish I'd not been so star struck and actually chatted with him.
Hi, I'm Japanese who have such a big-head(?) name. I love this song, but in the best-CD only long-version Young at heart. Anyway please click name and enjoy aprox.60songs.
I really think this was a group which didn't get all the praise it deserved. And even though I have the vinyl version of this, it's great to see the video after all these years!
bobby is founding member of the new band the poems
you can hear a track from their american ep 'glasgow calling' called 'the sound of young america' on you tube just by putting the song title in search
such my guilty pleasure! so many memories
