right underneath the video, switch the video setting from 360p to 240p and the audio should work.

[jdimaria]

@steviez33 right underneath the video, switch the video setting from 360p to 240p and the audio should work.

[franknwalters]

@jdimaria

Can you upload this video again? There's no sound even if I add "&fmt=18" to the end...

Perhaps with better resolution : )

This song and "obscurity knocks" are my favorites from this album...

Thanx in advance...

@jdimaria

Thank you ...

I must 've heard it a thousand times...

[bodgertime]

love the trash cans



[gertiegourmet]

found them looking up "to sir with love" what a wonderful group!! I am sorry it has taken me so long to hear them

[yiyoto]

the legacy of morrisey, simply brillant,

[chrissinette98713]

que de souvenirs, j'adore !!!!

[thejimmy32]

looking forward to seeing them live tomorrow in detroit

[presocraticamente]

cool...

[rseeleyable]

The chorus in this song is so good that I can't bear it. They're the Scotish Smiths, without the credit. Frank Reader is a beautiful vocalist and lyricist and the band is just as impressive. Been a fan since 1990.

[gabedestellano]

My absolute favorite band... Can't wait to see them in Boston this June! Will be my first TCS show!! I burned all the albums for my local drum store guy... out of the blue. He was super psyched! I think I'll see if he wants to go as my wife isn't too into them. Shame on you, Wife!!

[Andraste77]

@gabedestellano - I'll be there, probably on my own as my husband likes them, but not enough to go out that late on a school night. For the same reason, he missed last August's show. We should keep an eye out for each other - I'll buy you an (innocent) pint and we'll drink to our spouses - and to the Sinatras!

[gabedestellano]

@Andraste77 Sounds like a plan!! Where will you be coming from? I'm up in Vermont...

[Andraste77]

@gabedestellano - I live in the Boston area, so piece of cake. Hilarious if we do end up having that drink after this!

[gabedestellano]

@Andraste77 It'd be a blast! I added u to friends and I'll get a hold of you before the show... Be well!

[Andraste77]

@gabedestellano - saw that, accepted the invite. TCS fans UNITE!

Anyway, sure - even if I find a friend or get my husband to come along on the night of the show, we should still make a little party of it. It'd be nice to talk to someone who is as much a fan as I am!

[Andraste77]

@gabedestellano - man, I'm hating the new YouTube page - I had to remove 6 copies of that last comment, because it wasn't showing up as posted, so I kept hitting 'post' over and over again. Anyway, you get what I'm saying. Jeez.

[Reint25]

@Andraste77 Yes, had the same problem. Terrible... It's a mess.

[KINOLOCO1]

KROQ In L.A rocked this song in 1990 I remember.

[chrispb1]

Yes they did, back when Kevin and Bean started. Song is great!

[Scottydont66]

@KINOLOCO1

Saw them at KROQ Acoustic Christmas!

[paddykiddo]

scottish rain

[bigtrainjohnson]

ive been a fan for 20 years. finally saw them in 2007. double door in chicago. great show. older tunes better than newer songs. they need to go back to their old ways. maybe look up ray schulman,old producer.

[blotchy67]

Easily, hands down the best record of the 90's. This song and Even the Odd are two of the best songs ever recorded.

[ar4216]

This song was the shit back in the day and it's still the shit! Awesome tune.

[BrianJones1888]

Nothing to do with Morrissey at all, they are scottish first, very different lyrics secondly

[ToddSurfsLBCA]

"With my hands tied behind my back / Shin-deep in cement and sand." Just amazing poetry, great lyric writing.

[jorel5]

These guys are freaking great! How embarrassing that I missed them in the 90's.

[bamadawgsc]

Saw this video in Nov 1990 at the Day's Inn in Thomasville, NC. Went out and bought the TAPE the next day in Charlottesville, VA.

[bulbaky]

waooo yeahhh i love this band i found this band i knew the melody but no the name i remember when i had 16 year old now iam 30 year old special memories in my personal life ... thank you TCS

[CziefWahoo]

I've heard this called the best Smiths song ever....it does sound like them.

[boardgameinabottle]

CziefWahoo - Don't quite know where you heard that this is a Smiths song but it's wrong. This is NOT a Smiths song. It's an original by TCS. Two very different musical sounds.

[anytunes]

Wahoo doesn't think it's a Smiths' song - he/she meant that people refer to it jokingly as a Smiths song due to the similar sound.

[ktjnklc]

I can't tell you how weird it is to see your english teacher in a music video !! :L:L

[Jenibob7]

i agree :P

how was wowomg? :P

[mikeMCSG]

Does he speak like Morrissey too ?

[estherstillman]

bring back the ORIGINAL MTV back corporate shits

[forreal918]

that's funny... I didn't know that the brits spoke english... or the scots for that matter... LOL

[ApocalypticSniper]

BASSIST IS MY ENGLISH TEACHER ! XD

[stuartcoyne85]

mr mcdaid? (dunno if thats how its spelled?) his step son was my bassist. he went to uni with my dad, prolly left the band by this point.

[iamsoundest]

do u know mr mcdaid the guy in the yellow raincoat is my english teacher.

[stuartcoyne85]

yup he and my dad were at uni doin teacher training. his son danni and i were in a band together. found one of their cds in the libriary so i thought id look them up here, seem a bit under-rated from what ive heard.

thought george would have left by this point tho.

[happytuber19]

Mcdaid :) English teacher :L

[elricksta]

That's another one "

[matto2k9]

i know the bassist George McDaid he was my english teacher from 1st till 4th year lol hes a ryt legend. he told us about the band hunndreds of times

i have to admitt they r better thn i first thot :D:D trashcan sinatras FTW

[forreal918]

these guys did some really great songs... the kind that play over and over in your head...

[TVEyes5]

Ahh, takes me back to being 18. My favourite band from back then - good to have them back.

[tuijatrivun]

I agree, also my only favourite band, but one thing, the band has always been there it is us so called fans that left but now we are also back to stay FOREVER! XOXOXOXO

[VonMilash]

I'll bet we like the exact same music.... nothing like music from 1990.....

[Ranjitsu]

HE'S MY ENGLISH TEACHER!! :D :D :D

[newwave1965]

Cannot explain why i loved this song so much...

[jdimaria]

go to their myspace page: myspace dot com/thetrashcansinatras

[jschultz734]

Seems like I saw them at Necterine Ballroom in Ann Arbor in Jan or Feb of 1991. Great concert, just not 100% on the location. Perhaps it was St. Andrews but I don't think so.

[commventam]

TCS were great when I saw them in 1990 or '91 (can't remember now). Cake was an awesome album. They used to get a lot of play on WHFS in Annapolis, MD back then. I saw them in Baltimore. I remember the show was cancelled and rescheduled because the lead singer had scratched his eye. They came back the next month. Very loud, especially in a small club like Max's on Broadway. Man, this reminds me of when I was 29........

[tuijatrivun]

I've been a TCS fan since Cake came out,I've worn out one cassette and am now wearing out my cd.When is TCS coming to Canada, hurry i've only been waiting for 17 years.

[Scottydont66]

saw them in 91 at KROQ FM acoustic Xmas...awesome!!

[yoscottyb]

saw these guys live in San Fran's Justin Herman Plaza for free 20 years ago, they were great. This song will always take me to a happy place. : )

[munkefuk]

will always be my fave. best band ever!!!1

[DavidGYoung]

I remember this driving me mad in the days before the internet. The lyrics in that last verse!

An excellent song from a superb band.

[WeirdWaltWinkel]

Love them. They're still here, long after a lot of their contemporaries and influences. "Half an Apple" is one of the most beautiful songs you will ever hear, their collaboration track on "Ballads of the Book."

[Oceanauk]

This is one of my most favourite bands ever! The Cake album is surely one of the most beautiful albums ever released? It still makes me cry.

[Lovecraft688]

Roger that. . .I used to [try to] woo girls to this album whilst in college in N.C. =) Fantastic music !

[anytunes]

Fell in love with the song and the video the first time I heard/saw them. At the time I thought Trashcan Sinatras was the coolest, most fitting band name ever.

[diva3917]

They look very...happy. :) Must be dancing in the rain! Best band EVER.

[utubegeneration]

at the wetlands

[Rwbjconklin]

Love this song and love them! Thanks!

[modbrother]

What a wonderful video. It really bring back memories. I saw them live in Toronto two times for the past ten years.

[utubegeneration]

only time can tell

[utubegeneration]

2007 the year of Retro Tv

[slopwith]

I will never be ashamed to admit that this is my favorite song ever.

[fimcd]

Hahaha con't believe this.... the bassist was my teacher in 1st and 2n year! Such a great guy but it's just really funny!!

[rassoodock]

THANK YOU! This is their best song ever.

[caffegreco]

Thanks.

[Jehols]

wow this brings back memories thanks!

[benparker1]

[boilingblacksea]

A classic. It's hard to believe this is almost 17 years old. My favorite TCS song and one of my all time favorites songs.  Thanks for posting.

[audiodreamscape]

Classic!
