The Jam - Down in the Tube Station at Midnight

[bgy4dl]

FUCKING TUNE! 

[sugarkaneandchloe]

Hey boy they shout~have you any money?? <3 xxxx

[YugiBear1992]

Why does it say 'Playing at Bedford Corn Exchange'? Pretty sure the Jam split years and years ago lol... shame though I live in Bedford and would love for it to be true!

[skabnoze]

@YugiBear1992 I just looked (also with high hopes) and it turns out it's picking up a band called Antz in the Jam and thinking it's The Jam :(

[R9Joshy]

Im 16 and fucking love The Jam!!

[loulou2166]

@R9Joshy you shoud've been born in 1965 then you would have bloody loved seeing the best three peice group ever singing lyrics that really meant everthing that we has young youth were thinking and being ruled by greedy self centred politicians know different now enjoy the jam understand the lyrics and your there from the holloway mods 1978

[R9Joshy]

@loulou2166 i wish i was, although i would miss this Generations technology :/

[hibeegirl17]

im 40.......my 12 yearv old loves this tune......this and eton rifles..hes a huge Jam fan...am soooooo happy abt that xxxxx

[cmpain123]

this song rules

[Nobodybutsomebody98]

They sang 'Symphony' ???

[SEDGETHELEDGE]

How many 20 year olds can knock a song out as good as this... The Best Jam Song from The Best Jam album...

[mfmissing]

@pinkandjefflynne 22 years old and couldnt fucking agree more

[SamWitto]

i pull out the queen

[tony671]

lots of youngsters saying im a mod n im 14 fuck im a mod and have been since 78 never got into the punk thing as all they're birds were fuckin horrible

[HaroldAFowls]

@tony671 Shut the fuck up.

[tony671]

@HaroldAFowls na

[Bapewatch01]

@tony671 lol i was introduced into the mod scene wen i was 14 by my dad, got out of it for a while but i kept the scoots, but now ive gone to uni iv been drawn back the scene, n' u noe wat .. i feel and look better than nearly every1 here. love the 60's music but love the revival hits as well.

[tony671]

@Bapewatch01 it never leaves you man,once a mod always a mod

[Mortimore008]

I think the mods,rockers,skins and punks should unite and take the modern day chavs on!

[symea1690]

a plum is a phone dick!

[sk84life1983]

the three who disliked pulled out a plum!!

[paulcancheng61]

I was 12, running from school, getting high & loving this!

[paulcancheng61]

@paulcancheng61

ps fuck mods, the jam were class!



[flamingsparrow114]

grew up around this music and im 14 im a mod all the way

[sugarplumfairiie]

Great Anti-Thatcher, Anti Right Wing song, by one of the greatest British Bands ever. Weller's genius is still maturing in his contemporary music.

[theloon99]

going to away matches london tube station they were the days ynwa

[clydewell]

@theloon99 Good times

[dinkumuk]

wow it's great you can not even see the lyrics I shall have to post them myself...



[jasbk]

had the chance of seeing "From the Jam" a few years ago... sold the ticket.. theres only 1 jam and without Weller they are nothing... im not really a fan of Wellers solo stuff, but the jam.. those 3 together.... they had it... they still do even now... get together for one last "Jam" chaps.. just the 3 of you

[23dipster1]

i prefer the bad sheperds version

[gerlan1234to]

mods? skins? what else? rockers? this was 1977 not 1960's, I was 21 it was all punk/new wave. Though they looked like mods, who gave a fuck, they made amazing music.

[liverpool2878]

that made me 13 when this was out,skins was better than you posh mods,i had me parka pinched up the laundry so turned skin,madness specials all that stuff,bring them yrs back,wat choices the kids got now?

[OasisLetThereBeLove]

@liverpool2878 am 15 and am a mod all they way:)

[EddieA68]

this song reminds me of the brixton riots in 81

[gordywilson]

Still sends shivers down my spine to this day... what a song

[everymusiclove]

このハイハットの刻みパネぇ。

[MrPhilroo123]

liverpool royal court 1982 , good days, top bands, footy madness, rivarly, kicking off, glad i wasyoung tnen. who remembers , merseyside lads.....................

[postsux08]

maybe the2 dislikesers would be off in WORMWOOD SCRUBS H.M. PRISON......

[spectrum99122]

Looks like 2 people fell onto the tracks (;<

[Roggiedodgie]

No one represents angst better than Weller and the Jam

[ImVeryHungry95]

The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold. Paul Weller you lyrical genious!

[802205955]

what a fucking song

[somonelse666]

omg N clegg has joined in

[somonelse666]

1 lonely disliker.....did he missclick?.......or is he D. camron?

[SirMcOki]

the best bass ever

[fuckoffbuzzkeats]

why do people insisit on saying how old they are in comments? im 2years and 4months old btw

[u414336]

Awesome song...this is my number 1 Jam track with that's entertainment at 2.

Big up to PW, BF & RB.

[jimtheskim]

sounding better than ever.

went for a waz at kings cross and the boys all left on the tube at midnight,

scary night that,as a geordie lost in london.

this song is a constant reminder.

[pinkandjefflynne]

I like driving my tube down in my wifes station at midnight

[mvickers03]

@pinkandjefflynne Cat fault ya

[TheAnders62]

To dukeofsnatch

America never heard of it?

A tip is serch for ebba grön,lolita pop, Swedish bands if you haven'¨t heard nof them allready

[ultraginga]

check out our cover of thats entertainment, gotta love this era.

[far2manyshoes]

lyrical genius..

[pinkandjefflynne]

fucking quaility



[Mods130]

we need more bands like the jam now im 14 loveing this stuff and i am a bit well really a lot of a mod and i think we need more bands like the who,the jam, and over mod bands and SKA bands now,i onley like about 4 new bands/singer what are parampore,frankmusik,when is the end, and lover for life. the two end ones are small bands what have not made it big yet, bit we need to bring back people and bands like david bowie,the jam,SKA bands,Bob Marley, and over people

[tommitef]

the jam in my mind was the best group ever and should be revelled

[PROTEK123]

One of the best songs ever... end of.. .... The lyrics just summed up the late 70's early 80's the jam spoke for a un -wanted generation.. or am i being a silly old 40 something just trying to hang to my youth thats becoming distant memory ?????????? PS Weller ur a genuis

[kered63]

@PROTEK123

yep, me now 47 y/o. Sex Pistols, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Clash, but Weller was the master

[Pariskaterinigreece]

@kered63 I'm 37 yo and i grow up with these songs in greece

[pinkandjefflynne]

32 years old and still beats all the fucking shit in the charts today

[elliebessie]

@pinkandjefflynne spot on

[ttoe]

@pinkandjefflynne You're looking in the wrong place for good music.

[Jupitersgoose]

@pinkandjefflynne  So you're still just a boy then :)

[pinkandjefflynne]

@Jupitersgoose They have dropped though (the balls)

[Jupitersgoose]

@pinkandjefflynne Hehe , nice one. Thumbs up.

[RetroGuy5000]

The Mod Father is a genius and a legend and The Jam are just an awsome band!!!

long live the mods.........

[bookwriter1]

so sadd. but this song is fantastic.

[MultiPeaceful1]

Music doesn't get much better than this.

[playupskyblues]

@dukeofsnatch your spot on my friend 

[shervomatic]

@N15gooner..seems like one too many right-wing mtgs for ye.. take a breather, relax

[TheTruthstalker]

the jam 

[N15gooner]

Polished the glasses and pulled out the cork? who drunk wine amongst the working classes in1979. What a middle class ponce. Just another Mockney.

[deadxkorps]

@N15gooner His character is not working class, precisely, hey genius.

[N15gooner]

@deadxkorps he only has a fiver on him, he is down in the tube station late at night and he is taking home a curry, I would have presumed that someone of the middle to upper classes would be more affluent, take a taxi and steer well clear of the tube late at night circa 1979. and would not have been seen dead anywhere near a curry house until it became trendy in the mid to late eighties

[far2manyshoes]

@N15gooner if he'ld have done that we wouldnt have had this class tune to listen to

[69misscutie]

tune 

[shervomatic]

...and too many right-wings meetings..

[ANDYSENIOR1]

this song makes me go fucking crazy a real heart pumper

[burooo]

sick bass licks

[upkeep617]

I remember this one 1st time round !!!! Top of the pop's on a thrusday night followed by Kenny Everett !!!

[johnnylongback]

Wellers lyrics so special "they smelt of pubs n wormwood scrubs not to mention too many right wing meetings" mind you dukeofsnatch you get materpieces every week on pop idol!!!!

[mrdazidlufc]

absolute fucking class paul n rick u r the best EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoulTheDaddy]

in a word . . .legend

[tomdav97]

what a tune!

[EddyRainbow]

Pete Doherty copied 1:11 in his song Killamangiro! Up the Jam and Paul who says it like it is

[sugarplumfairiie]

Great lyrics by Paul Weller, at a time when Britain was experiencing abject poverty, stark unemployment, riots on the streets, known now as Thatcher's Britain... The Right Wing of England was swimming in money, while council estates fell to bits, but at least we had music like The Jam. I wonder will Cameron's Britain be any worse ?

[mrdazidlufc]

@sugarplumfairiie YES spf got it in1 arent they class tho paul bruce n ricky boy

[ClementinoZola]

teenager here; omfg love this song to piecessssssssssssssssssssss < 3

[Deanisalibertine]

Classy song. Nothing wrong with "black rappers that just talk about complete shit!!" though. You just have to avoid the ones of the fiddy cent variety.

[Mods130]

i love this stuff im 14 and a mod and a hate most of new music all i like what is new is frankmuisk but ok im a 14 yar old mod and so is my girlfrends we have been going out for 2 yars next week 2 yers of her dad not knowing we cant tall him because he is a rocker and he hates her being a mod but if her boyfriend was a mod he wood go man ); wat is bad becaus i am a mod

[Backin1985]

The Jam were absolute fantastic, against Royalty, against the queen, against Racism, against poverty - Against Conservative = wicked

[juddy1108]

exactly meekle ...i bet you look good on the fkin aye...different league...by a distance.....

[juddy1108]

one thing though ...paul weller got me listening to lyrics ...relate...

[juddy1108]

the firt time i heard the jam ....and the best .....paul might disagree mind you....

[MrBeechie]

About time for a reunion.Com on paul,bruce and rick give the fans a fantastic gift. it would blow all other reunions out of the water!

[u414336]

Happy Birthday Paul 52 Today.....Great song my fav by the Jam.

[Joshmozza]

BANGING!!! Can't beat the jam!

[MrDionysus27]

My favourite Jam song, thanks.

[DaMnMeSsEdUpKeYbOaRd]

@modernway09 Thanks for broadcasting it, we really needed to know

[faceinembryo]

@giffolew i like how you threw sublime in there - i don't see the need for every fifteen year old to jump on every video from 'the jam' and post how ahead of their age group they are

either way, i suppose it's not a bad thing

[thethunderlord666]

@faceinembryo thank you for that.

[dukeofsnatch]

bring back bands like The Jam. I am sick of this American Idol fucking bullshit!

[liampenny]

@dukeofsnatch yh i agree im 14 and me and my mates are in a band tryin to bring a new mod revival for the 21 century

[ibazookajoe]

@liampenny

I'm with ya man!

[clydewell]

@dukeofsnatch Spot on

[deviate1966]

@dukeofsnatch beatles and jam ftw

[D1rtbag69]

The best of The Jam. It takes me back, i love it!!!

[D1rtbag69]

The best of The Jam!!! I love it

[joeisaflyingfish]

@modernway09 There is so much good music nowadays, but you really have to look beyond the charts to see it.

Having said that, Plan B's new album is in the charts and that is amazing.

[netonthenet]

headlines of death and sorrow no tellin of tomorrow mad man on the rampage

[RGFoster1]

My favourite Jam song, brilliant!

[stonster2304]

[dbrom3]

[solboard]

[benj2209]

Wasn't even born when this was released but i have 2 say what a song!! lyricaly AMAZING!!!

[dansak001]

Well young man, I was born... and watched the Jam 5 times live.. Awesome! You are very perceptive!

[MsJulzee]

One of the most brilliant songs ever written - a real story. I have to say I'm loving today and all the Weller songs. I was privileged enough to go to final Jam gig on the bus with the band (how old am I??!!!!) BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!

[BOYZEEE1]

there is a teeny little voice at the start of this song. what does it say?

any experts out there.

[Angryloo1]

Yeah, Im 13 and I grew up listening to this. This is music, not random peeps talking about drugs.

[cortinagxl]

I was 15. nostalgia. What a crackin time to be 15!

[steelyman08]

Right beside you with that! I was 15 when I saw them in Brighton ~ completely blew me away.

[TheSean42]

ditto to that bro,best band i ever saw,fucking awesome

[rlvilla]

Mods were always in inferior to skins!

Top tune though.

[modmayday1979]

[SPYDOC1]

This was about 1978-79ish, great times people, respect.

[highpathresident]

@modernway09

I'm sure this was around 78-79, pretty old but not 48 years!

[solboard]

I first heard this gem on Pandora at work. Nothin' like wrenching on bikes with good music. :)

[wehateceltic]

[monnty61]

[MrIrish1973]

Timeless classic , enough said

[SonOfGrime]

[clydewell]

Gettin off at Mile End. Away at West Ham back in the eighties. Must have been mad.

[modmayday1979]

@SmileStyle1 ktf

[frannyscouser]

[0xronx0]

it's still relevant as it was in your dad's day

[steveocampbell72soc7]

From a yank, England is the cradle of civilization and the Jam represents that fact.

[XDV595K]

I'm an Englishman married to a Yank. If I give you her mobile number, would you please, please call her and reiterate your statement?

[iconicironic00]

Gives me goose bumps this song. If you remember the skinheads and NF from this time... you can't but help fear the rise of the BNP. Great song.

[weecoby3]

Well said iconicironic...It's been, what, 30 years and this song and it's message still hits hard.

[TashJonesUk]

giffolew is my fave comment, young people need to listen to older music, I'm 18 and understand how good this is!

[Vikicashmore]

I do im 17 n love all this kinda music :)

[TashJonesUk]

yes, great!

I find there's not too many teenagers into this, so it's great you are too!
