The kind of stuff that makes you glad you're getting old.....because you remember before Take That/Westlife/Boyzone/Blue/Pop Idol/X Factor.....my eyes might be going, but I'll always be able to see far enough back over the oceans of s**t.
Wait a minute, I'm looking at the comment by Jason Spooner in reply to a previous comment that refers to "learned" only to find the comment to which he seems to be referring was made by him also! Now I'm fucking puzzled?!? Fuck it! Oh, by the way Mackenzie, was the Associate and Currie was in Vox, now I remember. Is Vic there?
Jason Spooner / Sheldon Cooper, still not quite getting sarcasm eh? or are you just being obtuse! Why? Oh by the way in my previous entry that I just looked at says Billy Curie, did I get that surname wrong? Got a feeling Billiy Curie was in Ultravox? Can't be bothered to look it up so someone correct me if I'm wrong. Spizz the acidhead.
To reply my learned friend, I feel that any reference to the authors sexuality (whether implied or tacit) rather than his relationship with his mother is at best poorly researched and at worst insulting to even a casual visitor to this web site. Furthermore it's implied homophobic undertone does you as it's nominal author no credit...and my girlfriend thinks you're a cunt...discuss.
I remember the Associates being part of the new romantic thing but the goth images work really well with this song, not least because if I remember correctly Billy Currie topped himself, damned shame. Kudos to whoever put this together.
I would hazard to suggest that this song is about Billy's sexuality. Party fears "two" references his relationship; which he is having to hide. His boyfriend is imploring him to reign in his flamboyance and act straight. This is acting to reinforce his social awkwardness and low feelings of self-worth. He feels lost and is drowning his sorrows. He is even frightened to move, lest his gay mannerisms attract attention and get him a kicking - homophobic Dundee in the 80s.
im like wtf with the goth imagery, i was a goth in the 80s at one point, and im like wtf? we would have lol back then if someone said this was goth :/ but, i did like this song, because i was roughly 7ish when this came out...i was goth latter end, around 87 time...i had this tune on the b side of a various my dads m8 had taped for me, and the club country one aswell, lol, tdk 90 :D is mad hearing it again :D lmao, i love 'mimicking' this one :D gettin the vocal right :D its actually hard :D

Read quite a few of the comments regarding this song.Billy wiz a man fae the "Hulltoon"who did, and lived everything he used tae tell us about. Lots of sophisticated comments regarding this song..but Billy was Billy, a Hulltoon Hunz Legend!!! God rest you my son!!.I know the truth!!
This is so weird.... I have heard this song every now and again since it came out, never knew who did it and always assumed it was a goth band. It wasn't, but here is a vid with decent goth pics!!!!!!! Cheers whoever posted. His voice is a bit like bowie on wild is the wind.
Billy Mackenzie, had the most incredible range. He could go from deep warbling baritone to high shrilling alto incredibly quickly. Startling and arresting and original. To hear how amazing his voice could be listen to "Beyond the Sun". Tearful and triumphal and truly astonishing.
I like youre name damned like beauty. Its all happening in the country club oviously...its so gothic like an echo coming backmore meaningless than when the words were spoken,it helped the lonely on a practical level and artistically groundbreaking fin de siecle a song of the epoch we are all still guessing,..I guess
Amazing song, horrible vid, even though it's just still pics/images. Seriously, completely the wrong feeling. You either be happy, or you either be sad. When I'm not sure of it, I listen to this song to turn myself happy again. I don't feel that coming back in this vid.
The Edge was influenced by the Skids, the Associates, Simple Minds, all good scots bands, i respect the Edge but i always remember Bono on TOTP dancing with two birds & i thought then and still do now the guy is up his own arse.
A love song all about Scotland's creative/destructive relationship with booze and our inability to cope with the the creative/destructive emotions that it brings out in us. The best Scottish pop record ever made bar none.
Dreary, monochrome, chippy, parochial, small minded, censorious, unthinking-
Labour voting, conformist, municipal, corrupt, Scotland was surely what Billy Mackenzie was railing against in this brilliant song, and the tragedy is that nothing in this stagnating nation has changed since his death; if anything its got worse.
I grew up not far from Billy McKenzie, i adore this song and i do like the vid, I'm sure Billy would too, after all we are Scots and we dont take ourselves seriously. The song is timeless, the singer a legend..enough said.
Sad to think he is no longer around fantastic voice , there are loads of people who are misunderstood and feel we don't fit in I'm one of them x RIP BILLY M xxx
nice tribute to billy,i didnt know he had died,such a shame.ignore the hater pulling your vid down,its a nice effort for such a great song.rip billy makenzie.
Back in the early 80's I had long hair and was into NWOBHM, I secretly loved this song and if I heard this amongst my peers I would have to tap my feet and nod my head in appreciation of it discretely and without raising suspicion. It wasn't until about 1990 I had the confidence to raise my head above the parapet and say proudly " yes, my friends, I loved Party Fears Two". It was a life affirming moment.
This lived on for many years after it faded from the charts as the theme to the popular Radio 4 weekly satirical sketch programme 'Week Ending'. Both enduring memories of life past - fab!!!!! 1982 was a great year for diverse, innovative music!
saw this on totps when it first came out i thought wat the f//k but now in my 60s i think what a great song its up with all the good classics well done billy
Party fears two was actually given its' title' by Billy's brother John - who saw two girls trying to gatecrash their way into a party - by breaking the window with their stiletto heels
Why are you heinous goths taking over this song? This is a simple song of a Scottish man having to deal with his nation's (and local) dislike of glamour and glitz. Hence, it's why he was found dead in his father's garden shed. Such a beautful song and no need for any frilly skirts or white face paint or black angel wings. Ridiculous!
Oh dear....poor you....I don't consider myself heinous or a goth for that matter...I am myself....something that Billy sang about, also about the fears he felt at being different and misunderstood, which is something I feel you take personally as well.....party fears two is actually a legal term in relations to first party, second party etc....nothing to do with dislike of glitzy and glamour.....go find someone elses vids to trash...if you can't say anything nice say nothing at all
@damnedlikebeauty Your words moved me, damned. It's easy to make negative assumptions about people because, say, they're alcohol-dependent and like to wear their dead mother's frocks in order to feel close to her, and they've been dismissed their whole frickin life as an emotionless psychopath who committed an isolated albeit horrible act of violence ages ago which people won't frickin allow them to forget!
Well said, didn't make the connection regards the legal term, thanks for the new aspect on a great song. Regarding the Goth thing, I can understand why goths would adopt this, bleak, slightly dark, but as I seem to remember the associates were more affiliated loosely with the New Romantic thing at the time.
@scaud Yes a beautiful song,,,,,but it's not about his 'nations' dislike of glitz!!...it's actualy about an incident at a party in Dundee!!...and this song is NOT why Billy killed himself!!..if the Goths want to play this then let them!! Billys voice should be shared the world over and not held for a secret society like you!!...Billy would chew you out for such hatered,but he cant so it's up to us real fans to defend his memory and say you are SO far off the mark...Billy embraced everyone
Good effort but Billy would not be pleased with all the 'goth' images in your video,and inho doesn't fit with the song or it's structure...imho ofcourse
I love this song I remember buying it and took the arm off the turntable so it kept playing and playing. It takes me right back to the early eighties, wow what a time if only we could turn back time. Thanks for postin brought back many many memories, I'm gonna search through all my eighties stuff and have a rememberance day lol.
Well I never considered them Gothic ! But some people seem to have labelled them that in retrospect. But who cares?! It's a great song. I've still got "Sulk" on vinyl lying about somewhere...
billy died in 1997, long after william it was really nothing was written. it was actually written by morrissey since he had a little crush on billy! in return, the associates wrote 'steven, it was really something' for steven patrick morrissey!
