  • all you haters out there not worth the time im wasting on yous

  • mrgrizly, my thoughts exactly. I can't get this tune out of my head. I watch this video every single day. I even dusted off the old six stringer and taught myself the song. Very keen songwriters they were!

  • Great band ! Pity they did'nt last long as a group! the song makes me sad but happy all at the same time!!

    Lee a fucking luv ya!! get back in the studio!!

  • Probably one of the best songs ever. Reminds me of halcyon days with a certain person...

    :D

  • samantha i <3 u

  • they look really young - maybe in their teens?

  • what a classic. wonder what happened to them?

  • It's kinda a long story. The singer songwriter Lee Mavers is kind of a perfectionist, and he was never happy with their album. This version was a demo, and it was literally years later that their first album was released after being signed by Go Records. Personally I think it was great, but Mavers hated it and pretty much turned his back on the music business. Only in recent years has he played with a reformed La's band, and there's rumors he has new songs written. Who knows.

  • john power, the bassist, formed a great band: cast...and is now doing some really cool bluesy solo stuff.

  • Omg, I heard this song in Walmart and it got stuck in my head, so I looked it up. I like it, it's catchy. xD

  • this is flat out good!

  • Wow, love this song!

  • i luv the la and if u press the audio button at the side of ur comment it says ur comment out loud lol i am weird in that way

  • the one wif the curly hair is phitttt he loks like my sisters ex lol

  • this sounds exacly like my favorite deivis song Lithuania Eurovision 2009 Deivis Lietuva Литва Евровидение ESC

  • The quintessential song of the 90's!

  • Lot of...thanks...so much memories ;-))

  • hahah this song brings back memories...Me and my friend were in the mall and this was on the radio and I was singing it to her not loud tho. but these really hot guys saw me and so they had been following us whistlgin and stuff but they started singing this behind us, it was sooo funny!

  • Love it so much The la's rock!!

  • ta piosenka to o mnie:D

  • omg i heard this song on the radio yesterday and looked it up i didnt know it was so old :P still kool tho

  • This song leaves a taste in the mouth for more.....

  • Yeh it did when it first came out so I bought the album. Sorry la's fans but it was totally uninspiring and . . dross. I really tried with it, I really did but I think it ended up under the stairs under some old coats :( wonderful single though

  • oiuyrw

  • go liverpool!

  • best song of all time

  • still one of my all time favourite songs

  • Este es el video favorito de mi hija! Ella tenia solo 5 anos cuando por primera vez que escucho la cancion en la pelicula "Juego de Gemelas" con Lindsay Lohan

  • Love this song, one of my favourites. So upbeat and happy. GO LIVERPOOL!

  • the las inspired a whole host of british bands imcluding the coral,cast and oasis,what a legacy!!

  • the guitar riff in this is amazing

  • heard this song on the movie snowday, just right now

  • Have you ever heard Robbie Williams' version of this song?

    It's quite good.

  • the song is as addictive as what its about lol

  • ya right its realii addictive

  • ex-La's guitarist Paul Hemmings denied the heroin rumour according to Wikipedia

  • hey great post thanks molly1481 for great share put it in one of my fav p/lists

  • Ia anyone quite that lucid when on heroin then? Could also be about love, no?

  • Yep it is indeed bowt heroin! You can tell in the lyrics ne wayz!

    "There she goes...

    Pulsing through my veins"

  • Metaphor maybe?

  • hmmm cud be bbe!?

  • i never thought of it like that

  • Lee never discussed it and the rest of the band either didn't know or denied that it was about smack. The lyrics can be interpreted either way, girl as drug or drug as girl. Seems more about obsession or addiction in general, given that other social ills are sung about on the album but drugs and romance seem skirted. Met Power in '91 and told him what I think it's about. We then answered "whatever you want it to be" at the same time. The not knowing makes the song all the more endearing.

  • i love this song so much, don't care if its about heroin. timeless classic

  • Wow... Didn't know this song was about heroin addiction. Makes sense. Good tune that brings back memories.

  • My band sang this song at a church function years ago. You just made me realize we sang about drugs...aaargh!!!! Thanks a lot! ugh

  • Makes me wanna go to Scotland and get pissed. Know what I mean, mate? Drinks on me. A round for the house!

  • superb song, anyone know when it was released? the video looks well old, unless thats was there intensions when making it. eary 80's?

  • "I am absolutely convinced that Britney Spears is Satan," Morrissey. Have you accepted The La's as your personal Lord and Savior? Best song of the rock era. Point.

  • thanks america for ruining this song

  • MMMMMMM.... que buena roola

  • they seem to be so young! how old were they when they sang this song? anyway, I love this song =)

  • love this song!!!!!!!!!!!

  • worked the main bit on me guitar in seconds just a min ago woop!

  • Could have been "the Parent Trap' Lindsay Lohan version, too.

  • yeh it was in the Parent trap, i saw it because the Parent trap was on channel 4 on last Sunday lol

  • aw i love this song

  • i once watched a film onboard a plane which had the song in it (the film, not the plane...) does anyone know which film that is?

  • "So I Married an Axe Murderer" has the song in it. Perhaps that is it?

  • Anone got The La's kitchen tape they can upload

  • girls are heroin

  • i heard this song is about heroin aswell.....dont call ppl dumb unless ur sure asshole!

  • u r right, it really is bout heroin, if u doubt it just take a closer look at the lead singer ........c what i mean?

  • "pulsing through my veins" its not about a girl... its about heroin!

  • "Excuse me, miss. There seems to be a mistake. I ordered the large cappuccino. Hello!"

  • A classic song performed brilliantly by the Lads, I don't care about the meaning of the song because we all twist it to what we think or want it to be....Also a big Shock the song nelly the Elephant was infact about an Elephant that packed its trunk and left the Circus, (sad but true people)

  • oh i love this song - it makes me feel so happy x]

  • We need more happy songs like this :)

  • A perfect song.

  • Gotta agree. Hard to write something better than this...

  • i love this song, this has to one the the best song's ever written.

    not many people know it actually about heroin addiction.

  • wow! love thi song!

  • ufff such good memories :)

    parent trap days!!!

  • haha do you want to ask people which movie they prefer. Which movie do you think is better "So I Married an Axe Murderer" or "Parent Trap"?

  • hahaha good call man.. did you look that up because i didnt think anyone was gonna get that.. i have lots of respect for you bro

  • what movie was this song in??????? hint. Anthony LaPaglia plays the main guy's friend

  • <333

  • The LA's are classics, beats the hell out of that rap shit!!!!!!!!!

  • The original is always the best...the cover by sixpence none the richer is just pure shite.

  • I don't know why but when I hear this song I not only think of The La's but The Byrds as well. It's got that jangly sound. Love it.

  • man..this song is genius

  • yes. "There she goes, there she goes again, waltzing through my vains."

    Not every band is all flowers and rainbows like Scouting For Girls.

  • I think everyone gets that idea about this song b/c it's so upbeat (especially the sixpence none the richer cover)

  • actually they dont say waltzing through my vains if you listen very well they say racing through my brain jaja

  • ACTUALLY, he says what you said at the first bit, he doesn't repeat the same thing through out the song. Listen from 55 seconds really closely. Smart arse

  • Technically it's 80's music because it was made in 1988 BUT I do agree, it sounds 90's.

  • 80's alternative just rocks the world.

  • This is the sweetest song ever. :D

  • I love this song!

  • WTF R SUM PPL GOIN ON ABT ON THESE COMMENTS?

    goin on abt bein proud of other ppl's countries an shite like that? :S

  • Good coherence

  • il this song :p !! there she goes there she goes again

  • such an amazing song..

  • True meanining trumps irony. This song is about heroin. Period.

  • And "No man is an island" is really about an island? Jeezus. Go grab a Webster's and find "metaphor".

  • IronyIrony you said it all!!

  • How about that -- a song about the joys of junk. Oh and it's clearly the best song of the 90's. Ha! Ha! Fire up me a load, you shithead.

  • Does it matter if your from america or england just enjoy the music!!!!

    Absolute Tune!

  • no it wouldnt, it would ruin it in my opinion.

  • I heard this song was about shooting up Heroin.

  • I love this song, and I think

    it's completely stupid that

    people are fighting over who's

    country is better than others.

    who the fuck cares, you guys?

    stop being opinionated jerks

    and stop ostracizing other countries.

    all that matters is that

    The La's are great. way better then

    hannah montana & the jonas brothers.

  • The greatest most influential 3 minutes in rock sans Beatles. Or do you prefer Hannah Montana?

  • words cant descibe this song

  • monument

  • I ♥ The La's

  • i think people shouldnt take it that serious. i think the term tampon rockers is quite funny.

  • Hey, this is almost cover of Velvet Underground song, lyrics is a bit different.

  • You really need to get a grip, this shares nothing except a similar title with the v.u song.

    Warhol is dead, like your crappy persona.

    Avant garde my arse.

  • yes couldnt agree more nice song

    but did u know pps it about drugs(heroin), check the lyrics

  • this song is the shit

  • Yes its soo true, That idiotic rap and hip hop bullshit has infiltrated the United States. Id rather listen to the La's than those fuckin' talentless jackasses anyday. By the way I can play this song on acoustic guitar perfectly. You know... To impress the Tampon Rockers.

  • I agree, so many people listen to shit like m&m, 50 cent, and other stuff. all the people are doing is screaming incomprhensibly into a microphone and saying its music.

  • oh, so, now women are called tampon rockers?!

  • All ye hail to the Tampon Rock legends

  • Hey MUZZLECUNT YOU PIECE OF SHIT,Have you seen the riots going on Korea over your piece of shit beef.Dude your country,and economy and everything else is falling apart!!Pay respect to the man the legend LEE MAVERS!!!

  • Spoken from the breeders of MAD COW disease. Man you SHITISH people are a laugh riot. Our economy and country is in a lot better shape than yours. (AMERICA)..still kicking SHITISH ass for hundreds of years!

  • if we weren't overstretched in the empire and you didn't have the snidey french coming to your aid you would still be under our control and answerable to her majesty the queen (you mightlearn some manners).

    run along now child and keep trying to learn how to behave in the world. maybe you could give george bush some tips.

  • idiots like muzzlemud set a bad example of americans...i have no problem with other countries....exept the hostile ones ofcorse...some american music sux anywayz... like rap and hip hop

  • 'Tampon Rock?' - Well isnt that just the height of litery sophisitication coming from our friends across the pond?

    The La's Roooooooooooooooooooooooooock

  • Well no one gives a fuck about what you think. I'm sure not all Americans share the same view as you

  • "Tampon Rock" how do you work that one out, never mind, you AmeriCANTS are on a different planet and we'll never understand your language...

  • No you're on our planet. Damn BriSHITish, I bet you understand that don't you?

  • Nice try but no cigar.

    Just cause i live in the uk, doesn't mean I'm a brit. I'm an immigrant just like you americans.

    Its common knowledge that yanks have developed their own "unique" (i.e. wierd) language/sence of humour/ideas etc.

  • Fantastic song... I remember hearing 6-pence-none-the-richer's version and had ALWAYS thought it was an REM original but could NEVER find REM's version. Then I accidentally stumbled on this vid. I KNEW I'd heard it before 6-pence's...now I know. What ever happened to these guys?

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this song. It's probably one of my favourite songs of all time. :D

  • lee mavers was the man. one of the best tunes ever written. these guys suffered from the glut of great bands in the early 90s, tuned out too much

  • My favourite song of all time. Amazing.

    The fact Britain invented so many of genres in todays music and has created the best bands in the world, despite being about thirty times smaller than the us kind of proves musically we are better.

    Just stating a fact. Anyway The La's woo!

  • SUCK MY FAT AMERICAN ASS!

  • it is a nice song isnt it

    LIVERPOOL ROCKS!!!

  • JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THE COMMENT SECTION IS FOR COMMENTING ON THE VIDEOS NOT YOUR FUCKING "MY COUNTRY IS BETTER THAN URS LOLOLOL" WARS. SHUT THE FUCK UP EVERYBODY!

    Oh nice song btw.

  • muzzle mud 'you and your pussy ass songs. thats all you have!' at least we've not got george bush in charge, and fat bastards looking like beached wales round every corner!

    Oh and muzzlemud, What have the USA got exactly.

  • U.S.A has gun crime and vulgar humour.

    We have Harry Potter tho :)

  • Then you win. It's all about 'arry. :D

  • heehee! ;D

  • the U.S.A the only country run by a bigger twat than Gordon Brown. The U.S.A the country that entered the WW2 when the germans where already on the brink of defeat and then tried to take all the credit for it. The U.S.A an embarresment. hahaha 'had it as good as the US' id rather not be clinically obese. 'the US rule' go pick a fight with israel or you can try Vietnam again...Fuckin loser!

  • best song ever

  • All you haters wish you had it as good as the U.S. does! WE RULE! You and your pussy ass songs. Thats all you have!! AHAHAHAHA!

  • haha did i just hear an american calling our songs... ahem... "Pussy ass songs"? haha now thats a good one;)

  • errrr from a neutral point most people prefer canada to USA muzzlemud. i am english and have Australian spanish and italian connections, from these i can tell you nearly every nation across the land despises the US, canada are boss on the other hand, they lead a healthier life, have a nicer accent and are generally nicer people, FAT ASS AMERICAN!!!

  • THEN STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY COUNTRY

  • Crazy song. Like no other. Just wondering, isn't there another cover of this song (oddly) done by a girl? If so, anyone know who it is?

  • sixpence none the richer did the cover

  • One hit wonders!

  • You stupid fucken cunt,one hit wonders,do your homework son before opening that that mouth of yours,The LA'S are absolute fucken legends with many top songs!

  • They sure as fuck were one hit wonders in the United States! You fuckin' faggot Canadian!
