Still scratchin' my head wonderin why this wasnt a massive hit! It still sounds awsome after all these years! oh to do it all again, what would I NOT change!!!
mmm, squeeze, motors, fischer-z., statuz quo.. some of the great british bands that never made it big over on this side of the pond.. too bad for us, i say
Still love this song. Too bad they went a little too "wall of sound" and lost their British base in the process. Bram never could match these guys. Wish they would get back.
Likes Carlsberg is the best lager, this is probably the best song in the world, shear class, pisses all over the shit now adays, Black eyed arse wipes,sheryl im a mimer cole.
i just searched this out! when i was 14 i would watch this cable show around 11 or 12 at night i forgot the name till i got hear and read that loveitoldschool used to watch it too wow i thought it might have been a dream . songs from video juke box
IGGY POP im bored THE WHO teen age wastland SQEEZE another nail through my heart MOTORS love and lonelyness the POLICE sos
@TheEWFX29 actually, the show with Carousalambra was not Video Juke Box (which was an HBO show) but Video Concert Hall. I used to catch it when we first got cable in 1979. Fortunately, there's a blog devoted to the show and has many videos. Remember Shooting Star, "You've Got What I Need"? And Tycoon's "Such A Woman"? Unfortunately, they don't have the Motors video. I used to have VHS tape with all these on them, dammit.
Brother and I used to watch the video on Video Jukebox when we first got cable in 1980. Liked the song and thought they were talented. Never heard the song again till now. Thanks.
Great song, from a long forgotten band, when they made real music...thanx for the track, wonder if anyone has the Nightmoves tv show from the 80s with The Motors singing this, great video if someone can dig it up, hosted by Symond Lee from radio station 3XY in Melbourne...
i have an old vhs video of this I made during a 70s era show the midnight special. It was awesome then with the keyboards and the camaraman trying to sync the mics to look as one...awesome song great to see its not buried...well done finally a posting worthy of keeping! 5*'s
It was this one! I remember it so well- they were backlit and they also played Bram Tchalkovsky- Girl of my Dreams, and they played Squeeze; Another Nail in my Heart and Pulling Mussels from the Shell- a ton! VCH was great for it's time

@nydefect was that a cable show that had Led Zeppelin's Carousalambra as the main theme?

Does anyone remember which Motors songs appeared on Video Concert Hall in the early 80s?
cochranexyz 2 years ago
I believe it was this one(Love and Lonliness.) That video was the reason I bought the album. It was never played on local radio.
