  • Great song!

  • Great song and perfect performance.

    Back in time when they didn't need to prove their coolness like today's shitheads.

  • What I think is awesome is that these guys play punk, but they don't feel like they have to "look" punk. They got nothing to prove, and that's awesome.

  • music as it should be pure and from the heart

  • class

    

  • I CAN LISTEN TO THIS ALL THE DAY!!... best love song ever!!!!

    You stir my natural emotions

    You make me feel I'm dirt

    And I'm hurt

    And if I start a commotion

    I run the risk of losing you

    And that's worse

    ...SO TRUE!!!!!

  • Buzzcocks are the shiz-nite!

  • Joy Division still better !

  • @PutrefactionRecords To say one band is better than another band when they sound totally different is kind of ignorant. You're comparing apples to oranges, man. I do love joy division though.

  • Yes. Yes I fucking have...

  • youtube.com/watch?v=xLOB6B6vMT­Y

    i made somethinlike this...music took such a left turn

  • I looked it up, it's Free Trade Hall in Manchester, in case anyone was curious.

    I don't know any mancs, so I can not confirm or disconfirm redredreds100 statement.

  • If you weren't there, go away

  • Better love story then twilight.

  • That's funny, I came to watch this because I was watching 24 hour party people, And I noticed that's the venue in Manchester from the start with the Sex Pistols (don't know the name of it). Apologies if 10 people have mentioned that already.

  • @FZeroDragon mancs puke and rot in manc land

  • @redredreds100 What a pathetic statement.Idiot. Get to bed, it's 9pm.

  • punk is on the verge of returning

  • Is that a bad copy or are they really all that badly out of time with each other ? Anyway I love this song !

  • i was clearly born in the wrong time... i should be in that crowd

  • Brilliant man!

  • What is the doc or live show called?

  • ...Perfection...

  • Pete Shelley wears a wig now. I just saw him on tV.

  • Brings. Back. Memories.

  • @tuzza688 I didn't say he WAS Chinese, just that he just sounded abit like it. sheesh.

  • I always fall in love with someone, but I'm never able to tell that girl i like her. Most of the times I'm never able to see her again.

  • @maravilla1992 Life mate, Life.

  • @maravilla1992 The story of my life, my friend. Except it's those boys. Always falling for boys who I shouldn't be.

  • love this song but.. what a horrendous voice >_<

  • He sounds chinese..:L Great song tho.

  • @Halloweeneny He's from manchester its his accent hes not chinese.

  • quality....................xx

  • Where is this video from?

  • Fuckin Choon

  • superb!

    

  • Real Music.. love it

  • silly voice-BRILLIANT SINGER!!!

  • Saw them at the Greyhound in Croydon in '77 :-)

  • a great singer songwriter, seen them live in Amsterdam long time ago...

  • Were and what year?

  • Love it. Everyone can sing. Whether or not you 'like' it is a moot point. Life's too shor tnot to sing and have a good time. Go for it. xx

    

  • I LOVE THIS AND NOUVELLE'S VAGUE VERSION :-)

  • AWESOME- one of my most prized possessions ever was an autographed photo of Pete Shelly and everyone that I kept on my nightstand like a family photo (really campy-but I don't care)

  • I know what song Rumplee's using next

    ;)

  • quality never ages !

  • one two three FA!

  • Too aggressive for the mainstream, too melodic for poser-punks, too good to be forgotten. At their best they were fucking awesome and that is a scientifically proven fact.

  • I love that they didn't have 'stylists' publicists or any of the modern PR baggage bands today supposedly need.

    This is the spirit of punk, that you can make and perform music WITHOUT PERMISSION.

    Anyone think of it that way, that today if you don't 'look right', 'sound right' or write songs about what you're 'supposed to' write about, you won't become popular?

  • @OriginalPinkbird Back then there wasn't much money to be made in punk. Non of these guys were very popular in their heyday (ahead of their time?) so corporations didn't bother cultivating any of it.

    But also, punk bands didn't think in terms of careers. It was more about expression than making a few coins. I guess the lack of money made that freedom of expression possible.

  • @OriginalPinkbird I don't think that is necessarily true...it helps but the internet opens up a lot of avenues that never existed for bands (also creates a lot more noise to sift through tho).

  • The charm lies in his ability-or rather lack of ability-to sing.

  • He may not be the best singer ( and I aren't saying he isn't) but he has more talent than most "muscians" these days.

  • the best years of my life!

  • I don't know how anyone can dislike this......

  • He can't sing? Then what's that sound coming out of his mouth? Sounds like singing to me, don't hear anything wrong. Maybe you need new ears.

  • I don`t like ads.

    :|

  • Wow... Brilliant... Too many ads! Start a campaign, put in here if you don't like the ads!!!

  • love how people say they arent good...its called punk lol the vocals ARENT suppose to sound good, the music isnt suppose to sound all that great, but thats what makes punk sound good to me, id rather hear humans than some robots

  • All time great.

  • Did their cocks really buzz ?

  • This song is a classic. If you don't like it, don't fucken troll go back listening to your Lil Wayne and stop watching these videos. -_-

  • @LaMadhatter how patronising

  • dude can't sing.

  • @tulllguy dude... that's punk! that's why he sings like that. punk is like 'they don't give a damn''

  • soooo greaat!!

  • 0:08

  • brilliant 

  • q genial cancion i really like it

  • 91 people never have fallen love with someone they shouldn't have fallen in love with. :)

  • @mikemuk1 what bollocks, Sex Pistols were not the real deal - they were until Mclaren got involved.... real punk was Buzzcocks, Eater, XRay spex, Clash, Sham 69.....the pistols were good but the first boy band!

  • watchin in 2011 :)

  • @kazantzakis01

    hahaha you fuvking lyier!!

  • yes

  • God that shirt is so fucking cool.

  • I like these old bands and The Buzzcocks were very funny. Aint it cool that you could be northern, mildly effeminate and fairly poor and still make great records. This is crack, snaffle and pop at its best. Hey and they had the balls to do it all in front of a lot of pogoing wannabes! dot dot dot

  • @frenchexperience Wannabes? Are you serious?

  • wonderful

  • He sounds like a poof. This is watered down punk... ...The Pistols were the real thing!

  • @MikeMuk1 LOL no way. The Sex Pistols and the Buzzcocks were so alike in sooo many ways.

  • @MikeMuk1 no way were The Sex Pistols the real thing, they were manufactured and manipulated by Malcom McLaren. The Clash and Ramones were closer to the real thing

  • This is a bit fast ...theyrs hurrying too much...

  • best ever version posted on you tube is this.....like the undertones teenage kicks original,before they were famous ,it has a raw sound that is only heard before they get famous!!

  • punk with a melody in it

  • forget london and tossers like spandau ballet,the north west was the place to be in those days

  • I think I've fallen in love!

  • True pop punk.

  • love...angst...and regret...it never goes outta style. well, it might...but then nostagia brings it 'round again. but love is temporary, that's a fact.

  • Seriously???? a f******* Ombama campaign ad?

  • Classic....

    

  • one, two, three, faw!

  • 88 people have never fallen in love with someone they Shouldn't 've.

  • @tightfisttung I think what you meant to say is 88 people have fallen in love with someone they Shouldn't've.

  • still love you trish  you never forget your first

  • it quite a romantic song really...love it!

  • That "shitty " singer is Pete Shelly and he wrote this and hundreds more brilliant pop songs , real performers performing live in a shitty little town hall with no "technical enhancements" sometimes don`t hit the notes spot on. I`m betting that if you asked anybody leaving this show how the concert was you`d get no negative response at all.

  • @aharon59 fuck yea

  • Saw this rabble in Bangkok of all places 2 years back. Still living it large at the gigs :) :) :)

  • The Buzzcocks had a foresight on Ian and Deborah Curtis marriage! XD

  • Yes.

  • who give a shit about the vocals its a class song from back in the day when music wasnt manufactured on a saturday night by 4 so called judges!

  • 1. Fine. I just hate it when they insult his vocals.

    2. I mean they don't use autotune or shit like that.

  • The singer looks like George Harrison.

  • I love this song but...

    My god that guy can't fucking sing!

  • @paulothemagnifico Your mom has aids

  • @paulothemagnifico Were you expecting Justin Bieber to sing? That's why it's called punk.

  • @AssassinJ2 1. I don't like Justin Beiber.

    2. Using a singer that can't sing for shit makes it Punk music? That's news to me.

  • @paulothemagnifico ... there is a real beauty to imperfection. I find that, while I like 'pleasant' voices, what has proven to be more long lasting to me is the strength of feeling, energy and raw edge of bands. Most of my favorite 'albums' are first releases from bands. They tend to be 'under produced' and rough and have stood the test of time more than their later 'heavy play' albums.

  • @groovydeus Finally, a serious answer from a sensible person. I really DO like this song and this band, I was merely trying to bring everything down to reality, they really are great musicians, but there singer is pretty weak.

  • @paulothemagnifico it's all about songwriting....such legends as Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Mick Jagger are "pretty weak" singers....and have stood the test of time. A pitch-perfect American Idol contestant would sound horrible on this song!!!!! Just my opinion.....

  • @huskerdu1661 Yeah, I agree. I like all those Musicians, I was simply pointing out that they get a little too much praise in my opinion. Being an amazing song writer doesn't make you a good singer, just sayin'.

  • @paulothemagnifico Agree. "Bollucks" to vocal production! I want to hear the voice of the writer of the song...or a unique interpretation, at worst.

  • @groovydeus, imperfection, in some form or another, is the genesis of rock music....

  • i love them because of their music... and their name inspired one of the greatest pop quizes!

  • good, but billy talent's cover is way better :P

  • How amazing is this song? Clearly in my Top 5

  • @kazantzakis01 pics or it didnt happen

  • this is happening to me right now and im going through hell... LOVE SUCKS!!

  • @adam0509 i was thinking that too haha. ".....still got the word cock in it...."

  • I fucking Love this song to death.. and I am not even from UK. so there must be some british punk blood in my vein or that I am simply a wannabe. haha

  • fucking magic

  • 86 ppl haven't fallen in love with someone they shouldn't have...... Poor them ....lmao!! XD

  • 86 people fell in love with someone they shouldnt.....

  • Spent many night getting ready for the local punk gigs, listening to the Buzzcocks still love them

  • NO THE BUZZCOCKS WERE MY BAND WHEN I WAS 15 and they have stood the test of time. God bless Pete Shelley!

  • Billy Talent sing this song too

  • the simpsons brought me here xD

  • @sosmay9 I also saw the funny Simpson's episode with this song & could tell my son what was happening in the show.

  • Now this is real music!

  • 84 people falled in love with someone they shouldnt

  • My mates were into the Pistols and the Clash. The Buzzcocks were 'my' band. They Still Are. Love em!

  • punk bands in them days were a reflection of the economic syhthole the uk was in, this was a time to express our anger at the establishment. unfortunately the big punk bands signed for the big boys when all the credibility remained in the hands of those that went independant. anti nazi, the socialist movement,working rights etc were fought for. proud to be part of that scene, that also wittnessed joy division support the buzzcocks. old punks RULE, you KUNTZ

  • 1 2 3 fuck

  • 'One, two, three, fohhha'

  • Fine Young Cannibals made a much better version of this

    Mauri Ryttäri

  • Way better than today's sucky pop singers who use autotune and have none other than dancers in live concerts. These guys actually put real thought and work and do something the music can't go without.

  • classic tune by a classic band

  • Amazing!!!! RIP John Peel.

  • THis is real punk not the Germs and Black Flag all those terrible singers and mohawks+leather jackets is shit.

  • @NirvanaNerd364 ummm that is punk, you are a retard, go die in a hole, thats just hardcore punk, idiot

  • @NirvanaNerd364 okay dude misconception dont get worrked up

  • @NirvanaNerd364 he right punk wasn't about perfect singers or guitar players.

  • @NOWAYOUT688 yeah i no its just i dont like how nowadays when people think of punk they think of bad bands in my opnion i love most raw stuff tho

  • This band colored high school for me :) great memories.

  • 82 emos. 82 heartbroken emos. 82 DEAD heartbroken emos.

  • why the fuck is duran duran a suggested video

  • @saorisealba I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand one word you said.

  • Buzzcocks supporting the Pogues at Greenwich Summer Sessions July 30th! I cant wait!!

  • @ameliaenness should be the other way around

  • @ameliaenness @ameliaenness SO glad I saw this in time to catch the gig. My friend turned on me & started a bullying tirade @school after an argument as to whether The Buzzcocks were cool-she disagreed. She contacted me on FB recently & I constantly refer to The Buzzcocks & her bad taste @every opportunity in a retro p*sstake way, we're talking about meeting up so I may arrange it for the same day, buy tkts & take her along as a 'surprise'! Sounds like a cunning plan ;) Cheers for the tip off! x

  • they rocked at ink n iron...i felt the bruising of rock n roll.

  • I saw them last night at Ink 'n Iron!!!! :D :D :D

  • @Jessloveschocolate11 dude your lucky man i was actually gonna go with my friend and he flaked out on me, i heard the adolescents were playing too?

  • 3 minutes without a wasted fey second. What is there not to like abou tPete Shelley know it all vulnerability.
