Don't Marry Her - The Beautiful South

[DarkLynks]

Thumbs up if ur watching this in 2012

[r4nd0mh3r02k]

Thumbs up, if you listening to this in 2012 and want some of them Red Socks LMFAO

[geeza06]

@r4nd0mh3r02k I would like them in blue ;) LOL

[hoddyste]

still lovin this group in 2012, one of the best groups i have ever seen live x

[Tobycek]

I can't decide if Jacqui's character is the goodie or the baddie in this song. Is she the evil homebreaker or Paul's saviour?

[geeza06]

@Tobycek I reckon she's the Homebreaker BUT it's showing it from her side. :/

[gilllew]

IMUST ADMIT THAT I WAS NEVER A BIG FAN OF "BEAUTIFUL SOUTH"- BUT I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS SONG - NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO THIS.

[roselane420]

Thumbs up if you believe, as I do, that Jacqui Abbott is one of

the best female vocalists of all time.

[pepepew1]

knight hood in i'm not listening... ha ha love it

[ClarenceBoddicker87]

WTF!!! The lines as written are: "Don't Marry Her, FUCK me"!

FUCK CENSORSHIP IN THE USA & all that believe in it!! IMO censoring a song is much worse than any copyright infringement.

Read the 1st amendment!

[RentedWorld]

@ClarenceBoddicker87 I absolutely agree. It's censored in more ways than that, too. ("Sweaty bollocks" got censored to "Sandra Bullocks" (at 1:02)... wth?!) I hate it when art gets censored; it diminishes it. A big part of what made this song punchy / hard-hitting was the fact that it used such harsh and direct language. By comparison, this version is just watered down, bland, boring. Milquetoast instead of bold. The message is all but lost, imo.

[Ceewelsh001]

@ClarenceBoddicker87 It's because this is the album version (I assume!). This is the version that's in Solid Bronze, if I remember rightly!

[RentedWorld]

@Ceewelsh001 This is definitely NOT the album version, unless they released a washed-out, de-fanged version for the USA. But, I am 100% sure the version Clarence mentioned is the one on the album I own ("Blue Is The Colour"). It absolutely says, "Don't marry her; fuck me."

[koncsaj]

@RentedWorld correct

[RonnieJones14]

This song for me is going to be around for a whole other generation because although i'm only 14, I grew up with my parents playing these songs...and I will play these songs around my children!

[DAzazle666]

@RonnieJones14  Good on you :-) im 21 and playing all the classics to my 4 yr old. DONT LET THE CLASSICS DYE!!!!!!! xxx

[1878moyes]

great tune , love it always have

[thegeezerdan]

This song is superb.

[YorkTheDuchess]

THE SOUTH playing live at (York) The Duchess on 4th March 2012, and (Hull) The Welly on 6th March 2012.

[23hublock1]

Gutted man. Said before, stay with the one you have already - far better looking, does the housework etc etc!

Stay put son!

[adlufc1141]

ofcorse im watching in 2011! its the most recent comments that are shown, if someone wrote 'thumbs up if you're watching in 2009' that comment would be on about page 20 and nobody would be reading it

[MaggieACharva]

Don't marry her, fuck me is just as good as the clean version too.

[Portugal4443]

dont marry her fuck me!

[beautifulnorth1]

Heaton is not a lyricist, he is a wordsmith!! Beautiful south tracks on my channel!!

[tomburley]

thumbs up if you watched this hoping to have the real version?

[fcluddski]

Uncencored is always better, quality will always shine through though! quality tune

[KernowFilms]

@fcluddski I think in this case (and I swear like a frustrated nun who can't find her dildo) that the clean version is better, It's more subtle, which adds to the class of the song. Saying fuck me is obvious, saying have me offers so much more in terms of what the mistress can give.

[cruella958]

Heatons lyrics have always stood out as poetic masterpieces in an age of semi-literate mediocrity - these songs are on a par with Cole Porter and Johnny Mercer - I hope that there are many more to come.

[roselane420]

@cruella958

Poetic masterpieces or the product of a twisted mind ?

[cruella958]

@roselane420

Twisted mind? Who can say - I'm not a qualified psychiatrist so I wouldn't presume to dish up such a glib diagnosis. Throw a rock - you'll hit a dozen "twisted minds" but I doubt that they will be as gifted with their use of the English language.

[evolution118]

She's gorgeous I'm in <3

[xeternity4evax]

HOMEWRECKER

[stig107]

watch always

[818lovemusic]

Laying their just watching till you think of me instead ;) <3

[ade444uk]

always loved this record since I first heard it, glad I've never seen the video till now :)

[MrBirchmoor33]

Sounds like a trad folk song,which songswere often about good and bad relationships.Phenominal composition.Paul Heaton very much in Lennon mould,writing about everyday events,in relationships and life.A Little Time is awesome.We have all been there.

[jezebel892]

So... the other woman won. Shame. All women age pretty much the same physically. I suppose nagging is the worst trait in a woman.

[MrMarkwhitby]

sounds so oaisis, good tune tho

[weekendhippy]

@MrMarkwhitby What ?

[MrRazorblade999]

She's a PhD in "I told you so". Great line.

[rabtheroadie]

fantastic song.. i love singing it.. please check out my latest video.. dont colour me blue. .thanks janey kirk

[fuckyou1458]

Why the fuck would she want to marry that old boot

[efteaem]

WHEN TOUR SOCKS SMELL OF ANGELS BUT YOUR LIFE SMELLS OF BRAE..CLASS FROM HEATON.

[angelbunny51]

32 people married her

[4743stephenf]

Whats the uncensored version??

[iHoady]

@4743stephenf Says, 'don't marry her, fuck me'

[4743stephenf]

@iHoady Thank you.

[hinkypunkball]

Shes a fucking slut

[Perepsi1]

Another quality tune from The Beautiful South.

[elephantcrazy1]

listening to this at 1am :D mum and dad in bed and its awesome :3

[charllovesstuff]

@elephantcrazy1 I'm doing EXACTLY the same! Beautiful south are everything that is awesomeness >.<

[23hublock1]

I would have stayed with who he was with, far more tasty! At least she did some work around the house!

[superxysiu]

this is the best in the whole universe !!!

[dillan006]

Thumbs up if your watching this in 2011 :D and you LOVE the song

[manicmacintosh]

@dillan006 You're an absolute cunt.

[Hypnobreast]

nostalgia

[43snowy]

I prefer the original the F*#k me is not the only wording that was changed.

[diapergirl666]

this is such a fantastic song love it so much the beautiful south are so good

[jodes1612]

still luv this song :)

[FF9MovieMaker]

honestly don't care for thumbs up comments, espcially still watching in 2011 ones, fuck off ! lol no one cares. I'm not sure which version I like better

[XxFaKyouxX]

*I like the auto-tune of this song...

[ronninj]

Forget it....his ears are far too big.

[EyeHawk777]

30 people are married.

[bonkerzmhann]

skip to 0:13 for the song to start.

Thumbs Up Please

[PivDoodle9697]

Hahaha. I'm in love too.

[PivDoodle9697]

This is brilliant. Haven't heard uncensored but this is pretty damn good :)

[KiteSwift]

i actually much prefer this version to the uncensored version. The uncensored version seems redundant. Because surely he could still marry his fiance and have sex with the other girl too? Lots of people do after all....

[KidPunkStar101]

Don't marry her... FUCK ME! <-- That's the real lyrics... look it up! PS, Yes I'm American and hate this version, FUCK ME or GTFO !! haha, Thumbs up for REAL lyrics!

[AaronBirchy]

When your socks smell of angels

But your life smells of Brie

XD 

[LiiamT8505]

thumbs up if your still watching this in 2011 :D

[daz636]

@LiiamT8505 that is an arbitrary number. 2011- 2012-1999... who cares what year? just enjoy it in a timeless manner.

[jazzyoe24]

She'll grab your Sandra Bullocks...lol...(sweaty bollocks in the true lyrics) :0)

[KaraLoynd02]

Love this song.

[rossmiller90]

classic!

[efteaem]

if id won lottery make sure..see housemartins do 1 more gig..Will pay 4 it me self..

[BillyboySuper63]

Don't marry her......... I did

[baldybarton10]

Hull born and bread these are !! Pure Yorkshire class !!

[thehoneyhoneygirl]

its sandra bullocks not sandra bollocks...a mistake in the words on the video...

[Saffskat]

@thehoneyhoneygirl it's sandra bullocks on this censored version (which doesnt make any sense), but sweaty bollocks on the uncensored. i prefer the uncensored version. :)

[22poopoo]

Whenever I listen to BBC radio cornwall they play this!

[kj7129]

The guy looks like the front cover of the Mad magazines lol

[livedinbars]

I think this is the only time Ive ever preferred the censored version of a song to the uncensored one. I just think "don't marry her, have me" is a better line.

[bayoniq]

@livedinbars - couldn't agree with you more.

[jockylou]

@bayoniq yesbut at the end of the day mate its so true "dont marry her fuck me"

theres so many slappers out there that have no morale!!!! :)

[allensfilms93]

@bayoniq much better than the usual. dont marry her (space) me like some songs do. i also think usuing the word Sandra Bullocks is very funny :D

[griffin2000]

@livedinbars I've thought this for years! It's not prudish - it just makes more sense...

[JazmineeWalkerr]

@livedinbars definately, the uncensored one is stupid

[chiddy55]

@livedinbars i agree

[Danifran21]

@livedinbars that sums up perfectly the kind of person who likes Beautiful South

[StripeyAndy]

@livedinbars F*#k me....

[MrJohnnyJoyce]

@livedinbars correct the fuck me bit spoils it

[TheDorancd]

@livedinbars I agree!!! I don't have a problem wit' bad language in songs provided der is some good reason for it!!! But in dis it nearly ruins d'song in ways!!!!

[nolan30000]

@livedinbars oh i thought this was the original and the fuck me part was someone who'd badly edited it, surely a soft country song wouldnt have fuck in it :/

[Vampiratelycan]

@livedinbars I agree with that, the uncensored version just makes me laugh, this seems nicer somewhat. :D

[PompamooseMagique]

@Vampiratelycan the song may sound nicer censored but censored or otherwise it's a pantently nasty song... listen to the lyrics.

[liamhunt87]

@livedinbars Yer if you go to church and are a member of neighborhood watch

[NoxProphetha]

wow, this song is stunning :)

[utas953]

It's wery cool!!!:)

[griffin2000]

"When your socks smell of angels/

But your life smells of Brie"

Fuck, that's smart lyrics!

[scits1]

the lyrics to this song so describe my life (and wife's ways), and the girl who sings it is lovely

[RobG765]

@scits1 I second those thoughts (though about me and my mrs)

[scits1]

@RobG765 thanks for the reply mate, and i feel for you if your life seems the same as mine, but hey ho such is life i said "i do" so something must heve been good. only trouble now is she always says i won't ha ha i guess. all jokes aside she did give me a lovely daughter 19 years ago and i would'nt change that for all the money in the world, and hopefully your story is the same. anyway all the best

[RobG765]

@scits1 nah mate, life is not that bad, just very "ordinary", and sometimes you dream of something different. As they say, the grass is always greener, but it never is.

[scits1]

@RobG765 your are so right there mate, but however, if i am ever lucky enough to win the lottery or hopefully the amount that one extremely lucky spanish person won last week in the euro lottery the grass will be greener as i will have enough money to import it every month (ha, ha,) after paying off everyones mortgage who i know and getting my wife and daughter a brand new car each, still we can all dream i guess, all the best mate

[RobG765]

@scits1 if the world wasn't full of dreamers the lotteries would not have any customers. I know I will keep buying till I win the big one, or at least big enough.

[scits1]

@RobG765 same here mate like you say we can dream, until then its overtime and long hours

[SupaRandom100]

I,ve met paul heaton. He is soooo miserable :-(

[minedarea]

@SupaRandom100 Good, serves him right!

[firestartertwistedfi]

#LOL

[missfamousxxx]

Im Only 10 And I Love The Beautiful South's SOngs <3

[74souledout]

LOL, the amount of times I have heard my sis sing this even though she doesn't listen to anything other than Motown or Northern Soul (Just Soul? whatever!) xx

[MRSUMONE]

the censord version... bummer...

[RobG765]

mmmm Jacqui Abbot PLUS a Mk 2 Jag - who could want more!!!

[scits1]

@RobG765 is jacqui abbot the name of the singer? sorry if i seem ignorant but i have liked her singing but never known who she was (see previous post)

[RobG765]

@scits1 Yes Jacqui Abbott is the singer

[58scotland]

Jackie has a wonderful voice, a real joy to listen too. :-)

[chezzyr]

love it x shes a great voice x

[ilovezacky]

shes so pretty!

[MargeSimpson20]

Attractive song.

[raspberrybaggio]

My name is Sandra Bullock, and frankly i'm outraged !!

[spinkydoodle101]

this version would offend me if i was sandra bullock. haha

[taylor77777777777]

27 people dont know what good music is...

[Karl0010]

@Animo37, Have a look at your keyboard, in the top right hand section you will find the caps lock key. Using that will go some way to making your posts seem a little less immature. Such a shame there isn't a licensing requirement based on common sense and psychological profile in order to use the internet.

[njj1978]

@Karl0010 Here! Here!

[Karl0010]

@Animo37 Your doctor called and asked me to remind you to keep taking your medication.

[Karl0010]

@Animo37 Fuck me, the bars on your cage are really loose and easily rattled aren't they? TWAT

[MsBeatlejoos]

I don't know why I like this song so much........?

[FrankenEgg]

@MsBeatlejoos At the end, do they live happily ever after, MsB?

[MsBeatlejoos]

@FrankenEgg Why yes ! He got free of the Bitch he was married to, at long last......

[Karl0010]

This version sucks. I didn't think the BS had to compromise themselves to put this crap out.

[Nadiaflowerful]

great great great

[shaunb1973]

he used to fuck me when he was drunk

[iw32]

The first track from their 1996 album Blue is the Colour which is in my humble opinion one of their best.

[Animo37]

@iw32 INEXPLICABLE LOVE OF POOR SONGS. SO MUCH MUSIC TO CHOOSE FROM. WHY THIS???

[toolyplumber]

@Animo37 Not being funny, but your here. If you don't like it why listen???

I understand that it is all about choice, but if I don't like peanut butter, I don't eat it.

[thames334]

@Animo37 Inexplicable need to sit through a video you don't like ? Your not a cock by any chance are you ?

[ChRiStIaNbedex7777]

This car sure smokes a lot :D

[TheSkirkwood]

Far better voice than Briana

[Oldbluesock]

" don't marry her, have me "

:) awww i dont care but im so tired this coult make me teary

[djbitter1]

And she forgot to sing - hey mr. lonely I will clean your socks and ..;)

[djbitter1]

Wow..Obviously the words even in the gentle version surprisingly make listener singing along :" Don`t marry her - s.rew me.." Or "why do you have to f.k other ones while just have me ?" Country song. But the way that girl sing it - you know.... ;) Even in the gentle version she sing it in the other way ;)

[royblumenthal]

One of my fave songs. And I LOVE this version. Far prefer it to the album version where the lyric is 'don't marry her, f**k me.' This version plays with words better. Kick ass stuff. And what a gorgeous voice.

[efteaem]

WHEN YOUR SOCKS SMELL OF ANGELS BUT YOUR LIFE SMELLS BRIE....PURE CLASS BY A CLASS BAND LOVE THEM.....

[aloneagain730401]

met her years ago just the same in real life

[deathbunny218]

Any one noticed how they messed up on the lyrics at 1:04 ^_^

"she'll grab your sweaty bollocks" is supposed to be changed to "grab your Sandra Bullocks"

but isn't it funny that they changed sweaty to Sandra but forgot about the bollocks XD

[eitherwaybarneyrubbl]

dont marry her f**k me!!

[MintyModF1]

Love this song!

[CXGTiTurbo2]

Just sooooooo beautiful!

It was years ago i heard it, still could sing it along!!! beautiful!

[ahamiltonx]

i love this song!

[thebeeskl]

WHY DO SHE SAY KIDDIES INSTEAD OF KIDS IT DOESN SCAN AS WELL AS KIDS, UNNECESSARY SYLLABLE

[stevo71109]

@thebeeskl You are criticizing her use of words and you can not even spell yourself ,i am sorry i had to point that out.

[M3mphix]

@thebeeskl

because it's patronising

[blueblond1]

Great song. I think it's about marryig someone who you just married for conveniance and to fit in and now your life is as colourful as cardboard! Then you see that gorgouse person that makes you feel 16 again and you feel alive again.It's all a bot fickle and dangerous, but that feelings amazing :P

Yeh, the F*** version has a strong effect, drives home the lust-excitement versus stability message. Love this band!

[ca90163h]

Me and Jackie, will be taking the grandchildren to the park in 211 

[CountryRoadTrip]

Without the "F word" the song loses most of its power.

[JaneLame]

I can't listen to this. Seriously, I want the f-me version. Anyone has a link?

[CHUPACHIEP]

@JaneLame Look at the video responses ;).

[xipco]

aye dont' marry her f**k me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrhellfrier]

love this track...

[justjess678]

Finally! A version without swearwords!

[TheJassy1982]

its the version for the American market actually... they wouldn't allow the original title..

[RenegadeReplicant]

@TheJassy1982

Lol, not really. They stopped releasing in the states.

There is no shortage of foul language in American music either. While the original version may not end up on the radio, it can be played anywhere else. You really DON'T have to put a parental advisory sticker on albums in the U.S.. Its actually optional. Just Wal-mart won't sell them. But who wants to buy ANY music at Wal-mart? Shitty, shitty selection.

[scorpiomooselove]

@TheJassy1982 americans and their damn stupid problems with censorships and such. good god

[ericxpenner]

@scorpiomooselove It's seriously bad. All of our television is crafted in the mindset that children could stumble across it, and is therefore sanitised of any character, culture, and reality. It's tragic, as the dialogue is never realistic. The radio here is perhaps even worse. The words 'gun', 'fuck', 'god' in god damn, and the names of all drugs are censored. It's pathetic.

[EyeHawk777]

@TheJassy1982

i thought this was the original title?

[njemurray1]

@TheJassy1982 Actually this was the edited single release since they couldn't get away with the original lyrics in Britain either.

[omuploii]

@njemurray1 Britain > US anyway

[vymmas]

Really good song.

[nidhearc]

''The Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco Bay'' - always loved this lyric!!  =]

Caroline XOXO

[kane71ger]

@nidhearc same here :)

[bluebottle08]

shag me?

[gazza1190]

i have the adult version. makes me piss my self when she sing i'll grab your sweaty boll***s.

[dimgwalltameiben]

Line 3, bad English, should be lying, laying is not reflexive

[Veee8]

@dimgwalltameiben OMG - you are that anal?

You must be a lot of fun at parties?

..please correct my grammar dwinklebummer............it's a song , just like a movie...it does not need to be perfect. Did you follow the plot?

[dimgwalltameiben]

@Veee8 Yeah I'm a bag o' laughs, me. Not half as much as you, mind, seeing that that of all the ppl who saw my comment you're the saddo who deemed it worthy of a response!

[gartye1]

I thought its "She's a PhD and I told you so, you've denied it and I'm not listening"...
