Can't believe after all these years I've still got a crush on the smaller backing singer. Are you still alive love? Fancy coming out for half a lager and lime and a korma?
steve wright i like him an all but to say this song is crap while u put a lot of guff on radio 2 not couldnt be tht bad if it got to no 7 in the charts and i like it an im only 23
Hang on...who's the bobby dazzler in the shiny blue suit giving it the nob-rot shapes and what have yer...its only the God of all things 'Up my own arse'.... Steve Wright. Must have been talking about his own dancing
Has anybody heard the shit steve shite plays on radio 2 say no more. top song wow terrrible have you looked in the mirror lately steve now thats terrible. twat
have to agree Steve Wright has and always will be a shite DJ.His comments are vapour .This is a class song and hasnt faded in my memory since its release.
Hilarious! The singer looks like a disgraced Geography Master, guitarist and drummer look like the uncles who show everyone up at weddings, the short girl is cute but the taller one looks like a man! And yet I have fond memories of this song? Must have heard it on the radio all the time I guess. Thanks for posting it!!!
Great band . Steve Wright is a fucking cunt who should simply get on with the business at hand; sucking his mother's dick! That would shut him up ! KONT!
His name's Lol Mason? I bet he has a hard time when he has to sms friends who have have bad news. "Sorry to hear your Grandma passed away last night. Lol"
Sometimes Steve Wright should just get on with his job and shut his gob.If I want opinions I'll listen to someone who has achieved something and not the village idiot.
Brilliant song,a real Sixties sounding tune and can remember dancing to it with all us Mods back in the early Eighties.Still a Mod and still into all the great soul music.Steve Wright The Tit.
steve shite or write wot evaaaaa!!! this is not a terreble track tosser this is honest british eightees pop at its best and still sounds great nearly 30 years on you prick!!!!
@TheDennyDeefella Spot on mate--I can't stand the big headed self important assole. He thinks he's still on radio 1 with all the 'groovy kids' hanging on his every over-rehearsed ad-libs and quips. Sad old tosser.
He looks like Bond baddie Drax out of Moonraker. Ace song and lovely backing singers. Shame about that pillock Steve Wright - the master of the mirthless pun.
and he has also alienated and demeaned hard-working professional cruise-ship entertainers also. god do i hate journalists and broadcasting people these days; they should have humility - because without people actually DOING THINGS instead of merely talking about it - they would have no job. period.
steve wright has never written a song in his life. he had a decent radio show in the 80s - but how dare he fucking criticise a group of artists. bastard.
Back in '82 I was madly in love with that cute little background-singer. Now, almost 30 years later, I'm still in love with her...:) (don't know how she looks now, but i don't care) and oh yea, great song...
this is a great song,every dj on radio 1 had a major say on what was a hit,steve wright had a good slot on radio 1 in the early 80s,i remember his show,he didnt like this but he would play stuff like "kissing with confidence" all day,oh,and he was a "dallas"fan
Spot on video, totally eighties which in my opinion was the bollox, Steve Wright usually talks a lot of sense.......................but not this time.
Steve Wright is a twat. What a fantastic song, it was already great when I heard it for the first time, 28 years ago, and it still is now. Not their best song, though, that has to be Roni Come Home.
Steve Wright is a twat. What a fantastic song, it was already great when I heard it for the first time, 28 years ago, and it still is now. Not their best song, though, that has to be Roni Come Home.
I remember thinking the girl on the right was gorgeous in 1982 and (unlike a lot of people who seemed attractive in 1982), she still looks pretty lovely to me now! Didn't some talentless garage act sample this and make a right mess of it? And, as for Steve Wright, he is an unfunny mullet-man who looks like someone wearing a Groucho Marx false nose and tash. Wanker!
Steve Wright (the DJ) is a right prick - always passing his stupid comments on bands & music silly twat - whenever i hear him i gotta turn him off. Love this song though - a truce classic.
@bruno293531 je trouve que Lol Mason est tombé bien bas sur ce coup là. Tellement bas que cela a été sa porte de sortie (un peu de sous!!)!!! Dommage car avec les City Boys il était énorme!!
Just first heard of this song a few days ago as a related vid from Tracey Ullman's They Don't Know vid. A pretty cool combination of two great time periods, mid 60s mod (I love this part of the 60s but despise all that idiotic pothead hippie protesting B.S.) and then contemporary 80s. The guys are well dressed and the ladies are too cute in their outfits. I really like the girl on the right. Very lovely.
On est dans le "super" des années tranquilles...après, quoi dire : écouter, c'est génial, c'est un vaste "come back" des années 50. Le producteur, c'est forcément un bon : fallait trouver l'idée. La gestuelle des filles, c'est du très bon; à découvrir, un morceau à aller se chercher, une invitation au plaisir de super moments évocateurs...
Great tune.Of course the singers name Lol Mason was shortened from Laugh out loud mason,he's now retired from singing and lives off the fortune hes made from the fees he gets everytime someone uses LOL in a text.
Steve Wright is now bald, he's a short man, and a lot of me in that ilk have to try to overcome that by being loud and taking the p--s! I lay my mortgage that S Wright wouldn't and couldn't play the key of c major on ANY instrument! It's an insecurity about things general that makes him have to do this. Nasty little prick!
I don't mind Steve Wright on the whole, but find his Sunday Love Songs and constant need for "great show, mate"-type praise nauseating in the extreme.
Good record.takes me way back to when i was 19 and enjoying life.Shagging beautiful girls i knew then,and still know today.God their f....king terrible now all fat with shaggy tits.
It doesn't get much better than this....the only song I know where the middle eighth is repeated....mega stuff man. their voices make all of the x factor muppets sound amature...thanks for posting
love this song its so addictive so proud and pleased to have this band come from my hometown of Birmingham and support the same football team. Lol Mason is a brill singer and the synth is catchy and addictive love it. the guy commentating dont know what his talking about
I think Steve Wright was wrong on this one - I think the Maisonttes did a tidy job on this track. It's a lot of fun. The guy actually has a very good voice - a bit like Matt Bianco's.
hey... the women in this video didnt actually sing the ooooooo bits, one of the girls that did in a recording studio was called Kathy Evans a old friend of mine that ive since lost touch with sadly
Being a huge City Boy fan this is awesome. Lol Mason post The Day the Earth Caught Fire & It's Personal. And this Steve Wright character: one word - Moron. Keep your opinions to yourself jerk !!!!!
I moved to Australia 21 years ago and on one of rare visits back to the UK I hired a car, turned on the radio and got that cretin Steve Wright yakking over the closing lines of a song,. The ability of that moron to annoy and irriate is beyond my comprehension
I don't see why so much hate towards this track. it's was retro even back then, with a vibe of '60s motown and all the better fo it. Mr wright is a knob on this occasion.
Nice tune. But what about the poor backing singers? If their skirts were any shorter, there would be too much cheek to powder and too much hair to comb! :-D
One incredable classic song. Loved it soon as I first heard it back then. Love it just as much today, I dont think the writer of this wonderful song, ever exspected so much hate to come out of it. Steve Wright, was so wrong to say such incredably, horrible things. Not very proffesional, and too self opinionated. IBut, thats his opinion unfortunatly. What a silly person. But please dont hate, or we'll be as bad as him. He dosent obversly know what good music is. but we do. Thanks for posting..
Love Steve Wright but he's way off on this one - The Maisonettes were ace and this is a classic tune - so leave it out Wrighty old friend yer big naughty man type bloke.
Lol Mason is a legend and that redhead backing singer is gorg!
I bought a five foot fishing rod with a cork handle from the same bloke. he tried to sell me that white tuxedo jacket for an extra fiver. It was a bit stained for my liking.

I moved to Australia 21 years ago and on one of rare visits back to the UK I hired a car, turned on the radio and got that cretin Steve Wright yakking over the closing lines of a song,. The ability of that moron to annoy and irriate is beyond my comprehension

I don't see why so much hate towards this track. it's was retro even back then, with a vibe of '60s motown and all the better fo it. Mr wright is a knob on this occasion.

Nice tune. But what about the poor backing singers? If their skirts were any shorter, there would be too much cheek to powder and too much hair to comb! :-D

One incredable classic song. Loved it soon as I first heard it back then. Love it just as much today, I dont think the writer of this wonderful song, ever exspected so much hate to come out of it. Steve Wright, was so wrong to say such incredably, horrible things. Not very proffesional, and too self opinionated. IBut, thats his opinion unfortunatly. What a silly person. But please dont hate, or we'll be as bad as him. He dosent obversly know what good music is. but we do. Thanks for posting..

Love Steve Wright but he's way off on this one - The Maisonettes were ace and this is a classic tune - so leave it out Wrighty old friend yer big naughty man type bloke.
Lol Mason is a legend and that redhead backing singer is gorg!

I bought a five foot fishing rod with a cork handle from the same bloke. he tried to sell me that white tuxedo jacket for an extra fiver. It was a bit stained for my liking.
