[naturalterez]

Amazing. Got me into the real thing(MB)

[sabouro66]

This music piece is excellent and the videoclip is in the spirit of his age it was very revellutionary the music as it was all the 80s

[gmccall22]

Talented man. Rap/HipHop Pioneer who took it to another level. Too bad it sucks today. He's probably turning over in his grave...Much love from New York City. R.I.P. Mr McLaren

[artinoz]

Best thing Mclaren ever did. What a beautiful song even to this day. Video really sucks though

[trythinkingmighthelp]

Puccini would sure as fuck endorse this great intepretation.

[carpman222]

a classic  never ages

[MrSgtSniper]

First time I heard this I went out and bought it.

[tenyb58ohmy]

This is some of the MOST beautiful music I have ever heard. You never get tired or bored with it.

[ramona280769]

[jamesmarinos1]

A timeless masterpiece!

[recordsare]

[leevwe]

[MagicMonkey10100]

I always thought it was "Arrow" Rock Radio. Are they back on 675 kHz ??? When did they resurface ?

[carl2017]

Hadn't heard this for years. Top drawer!

[gretz13]

ROBERT PALMER's VIDEO INSPIRATION ANYONE?????

[BaseDeltaZero1972]

Debbie Cole ploughs heart breaking emotion into her lyrics on this track. Incredible.

[zagacks]

trigger happy 

[fdfranco9]

megafantastico

[zagatoF1]

i have it on vinyl, so great

[BritishSnail]

I think it's a bit sexist myself, as if women have nothing better to do, though we are indeed mightily beautiful and gracious.

[conniehammonds]

Awesome!! One Of My All Time Favorites!! Dance To This!! Thanks For The MasterPeice Mr. malcolm.

[thegoldenpanda77]

my boy's mum is the one singing the opera! she is truly gifted!!!

[Jezer1990]

@thegoldenpanda77 what happened there then? did you not appreciate her giftedness enough? relationships are painful and the amount of sexy women strutting around in this stirs memories and desires in almost any male.

[441rider]

@thegoldenpanda77

Dud she atually get paid LOL!

[43v3rr0s3]

26 people "think" they know what art is.. well guess what.. obviously you don't if you dislike this RERES!!!

[malcolmrule1]

[03045026878]

@rorydragula My respect for Malcom,anyway.But Madame Butterffly is an opera from Bizet.And Malcom just mixed it with modern rhythem and sound.

[chrssgreen]

Colne baths was never like that... Or it would still be open..

[tillyfoxtrotter]

[lucination333]

[meridethtohayes]

Thanks Forever!

[Lerpalicious]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful song!

[chancesareshewears]

horrid voice mclaren was a user and here's the proof...

[TeraStellar]

This man was brilliant. Totally opened the door to traditional classical music for me because of this fusion. 

[PrivateAckbar]

Who sings the chorus? 

[himynameisclifton1]

thumbs up if u heard this in a christian dior show

[Torrana]

shitty how the women are allowed to glisten with sweat but not visibly breathe.

[colinstewart3]

@Torrana

Why would you see them breathe?

[Pannells80]

What a great track.

[mapleavenue77]

RIP Malcolm. I visited you in Highgate about a month ago. Thanks for the music.

[OsirisIxchel]

Beautiful Artist...unique...original....­..rip precious one!

[SERLEO04]

PRECIOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!



[smitha207]

[03045026878]

Miss You and Your ART,Malcom...........

[ihithardfrom95]

[ihithardfrom95]

I remember the first time I heard this, LOVE IT.

[MrBuckwilliam]

beauty :)

[ivesvari]

SPECTACULAR!!!

[fadeout111]

RIP MALCOLM MCLAREN.......TIMELESS LIKE U

[pasadener]

he passed away last year. a true pioneer. a beautiful mix of classical and hip hop that tears at the soul and the video is loveliness.

[Vinsteroid]

I bought this on release (and still have the vinyl copy!) but considered it gimmicky not long afterwards. Listening to it now with the experience of age, I appreciate its subtleties and craftsmanship. Fair play Malcolm - you may not have always got it right, but when you did you really left your mark.

[NEXXTJona]

special, sophisticated (even it´s a bit old), gorgeous, fantastic, classic, but modern... it´s everything :)

[bungle04]

total genius and musical pioneer R.I.P

[1bigpaws]

two mins too long but what a song......great!

[iTunesJunkie11]

I LOVE this song.

[hyoncake]

i was 16 years old, babysitting for the general manager of the fort worth symphony, going through his vinyl collection, which was massive, and saw the cover of "Fans" and played this song because "madame butterfly" i had heard of. little did i know it was this version. took my breath away. absolutely tried to get my friends to listen to it, and none of them were interested. then i started going to this club called the Starck Club and i lost it when the Deejay played it! at last!!!

[222Alex]

Agree with mrcayolargo! You have to hear the whole album!!!

How I wish we had musicians like this today..., where did they all go?

Guess they got old like me ... ;-)

[mrcayolargo]

Brilliant song from a classic album.Go and find Fans and listen to the whole thng it blew my mind the first time i played it,and it is still one of the best albums.

[rorydragula]

holy shit, i think i just gained a little respect for malcolm.

[latecia1]

@rorydragula there must have been somebody else behind it:o)

[Raveyshavey1]

WOW



[TheSystemRevolution]

A thousand years on ... and this will still be awesome, because everyone has lived a similar story ... Life.

[TheLadyBugsie]

Can anyone listen to Cio-Cio-San's (Butterfly) aria's without emotions welling up?

[ErdalYildizFan]

This is my favourite Song from him. A grestest hits CD please !!!! I still waiting! :)

[MonkeyOneHundred]

What can I say........get's me everytime.

[jackhillty]

I think my heart stopped the first time I heard this

[ColumRogers]

You were a genius Malcolm, it's just a shame you are no longer with us. From Anarchy in the UK to the Double Dutch from Go wild in the Country there was no end to your genius. x

[djkenry]

well said everyone, M.M. was brilliant he had his finger on the pulse.

[decapitator2]

Красиво.

[chrysti1313]

My favorite song of all...

[alphasex5]

So Beautiful!

[MsJazmine8]

WOW ! havn't heard this for years-forgot how wonderful it was-i think Malcolm was one of the first to mix pop with opera--he sure had a way with music...

[MrRockieraccoon]

A masterpiece! I love his art

[flanneryged]

Utter GENIUS and a really brilliant music track,I really heard it for the first time in 1984 when I had been smoking Weed.I overlooked it until that Summers night.

Loved it ever since.Malcolm you were/are a great Man we will never replace you.

Thank's for what you brought us.From Sex to the Sex Pistols through to this a rare

talent RIP. *GED*.

[CapriciousCapricrn]

Gotta git me some of that waterproof makeup.

[thomasmoredamian]

And how young/old were you when you first heard this? Twenty-five/thirty years ago, like me? M.M.

[sturdle]

@thomasmoredamian 72 and still like it..........sad or what? 

[Ade067]

I hated this when i was a kid but now i realise just what a brilliant piece of work it is...RIP Malcolm you're a legend.

[Atsuhiatsuko]

Duran Duran's "Girls on film", Olivia Newton-John's "Physical", Vanity 6's "Nasty girl"... There were many fascinating music videos in 1980's. Among those great videos, especially this Malcolm's video is extremely fascinating one. I love it!

[masterpiecelover]

Gotta have something to believe in....my white honkie I do miss him!!!

[BurrowingBunny]

..."I'm a bounder...I married a Yankie girl".

[BurrowingBunny]

Somehow...I don't think the ladies in this video will be nowadays quiet so slim! Lol

[MsSameenaKhan]

GOOSE BUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[onandofflooker]

Don't you just long for the days when people whent to the sauna in troweled on makeup?

[dandynieves]

descansa en paz fuiste un genio

[unihitter09]

Yes this is one of THE CLASSICS & I am sure that through his music Malcolm will never die!

RIP MM you helped shape my life..........................­....

[MrRemmoc]

Total masterpiece in every way , goosebumps every time , RIP Malcolm

[mufc99ok]

@MrRemmoc when did he die i never heard 

[MrRemmoc]

@mufc99ok , 8th April this year , twas a sad day for music

[tuutharold]

The song itself is brilliant in every way, a real masterpiece - rest in piece, Malcolm.

This video doesn't do it justice, though. You'd say it wouldn't be that hard to come up with a video based on an opera like this. I wish they'd have tried to illustrate the actual story instead of a few half-naked beautiful women clutching on a letter. Such a waste.

[MOJUL68]

Where are you when we need you Malcolm. Your music was the best, there will never be another one like you. A true legend.

[robinhastings]

I loved this song too.

[Marcqx]

@robinhastings oops sorry, I did too.

[themightyimp08]

Truly stunning.

Interesting how the drumline is basically 'buffalo gals' with slightly different drum samples.

A true innovator.

[SuperJeff1999]

from a teen in the 80's we had the BEST music, nothing like this manufactured crap today

[brollytom]

deborah coles vocals are fantastic, 80s music is 100 times better than the crap served up today

[HumanBadMan]

This was my Time :-))

AWESOME

[OldSchoolLad]

this is the hottest music video i've ever seen

[krisfromf]

Thank you for these short Synthie Bass lines. They make my skin freeze forever.

[degingernut]

I first met Malcolm in 1969 at "Le Bataclan" Club London; we where teens and both had flaming read hair. Many moons later when I was a 1st Assistant Film Director we filmed this classic with Terence Donovan at Harrogate Baths. Meeting again on this great shoot we reminisced the great music from the club. I use to bump into Malcolm over the coming decades and we always too time out to catch up. Dear friend and Auburn loner like myself will miss you.

Theo de Rose.

[TheRealNappyG]

@degingernut : What a beautiful & personal memory! Thank you for sharing this. It puts a new perspective on this already-classic song. You made an amazing video for an amazing song. We all miss Malcolm. Big Respect,{G}

[sonnylegirl]

@degingernut much love to you and malcolm,,,,,,they dont make music this way at all anymore,,isnt it rubbish , and totally crap videos these days....x

[jimtheskim]

@degingernut Nice one son,,,we all Miss the man.We are either not producing imaginative/creative folk like Malcolm,or they are being stifled ?

[irishmanufan]

@jimtheskim the creative music is out there you just have to dig beyond the charts to find it .

[jimtheskim]

@irishmanufan I hear you but I have my hands full with my back catalogue.

Don,t do the charts.....If you have a good reciever there is or maybe was a fantastic Dutch radio station called Aero Rock Radio..They play all sorts from Neil Young to led zep,,worth a listen if you can find it? 675mw..

kind regards.

[simonjohnheath]

This is a beautiful and elegant piece of art.

[HermosoTwist]

@simonjohnheath

[03045026878]

Malcom forever!!!Part of my life forever.Artist in the sense of the word.Unforegettable!!!!!!!!I'l­l miss you.

[naturaltai]

[pixelfascination]

I agree with you all, I grew up with this guys projects its like losing an old friend. he will as said be sadly missed.

[warumlachstdu]

Goodbye Malcom und danke, dass du meine Jugend und meinen kritischen Verstand geprägt und begleitet hast. Ich verbeuge mich vor einem der Größten... Ruhe in Frieden und lasse auch weiterhin Deine Welt in meine einfließen. Staub bist Du, aber nie deine Werte und Worte und Musik!

[redcarsgofaster]
