[jorgeluisrod1]

Legal ..............................­Housemartins

[ruderkonge1976]

Is it true that Cook hates Housemartins?

[MsPinkpout]

long live TheFarmer!!

[GIANLUCA7932]

GRANDIOSA

[needleseupins]

they are great!

[DieselPoweredProdigy]

Paul Heaton. A Legend in our lifetime. Long live the King of Hull !!!

[apexm5]

This guy is a pop genuis and so underrated in the States (including the Beautiful South).

[andcar121]

Am I missing something ? Is this great pop song or a political statement ? Mehtinks too much is being read into this.

[tractermaster]

i love this song...im a dairy farmer in Wisconsin "us" best thing on earth!! :)

[densaner77]

Look away children! Those awful people from Hull are dancing!

[babyevey]

Of all the Christian Marxist jabgle-pop bands of the 80s who hate agriculture, these guys are probably the best.

[cadmiumblue]

13 people are farmers who abuse their employees.

[Jeffredo729]

I always dance like that in clubs. Everyone is impressed at the smooth moves.

[22settembre68]

MY TWELVE YEARS OLD

TWENTY YEARS AGO

[KingOfChaos213]

Look at fat boy slim goo!

[rigbst]

[snupoo]

nothing better....

[specialgravy]

13 dislikes....... looks like they didnt get on with the farmer.....

[PaulWhitehouse]

@specialgravy Lololol.

[kwcasual]

love it

[worldaccordingtodunk]

First single I ever bought! 7 years old, I just thought it was about a farmer...it's probably about drugs though..

[UB4042]

@worldaccordingtodunk it is mate 

[SteelAngelJohn]

Love this video.

[archaicrock]

rock from SD USA gets it..

[marita8936]

exelente cancionon

[fabriziopiludu]

Bottles of wine, in England?

[vanillaorchid]

@fabriziopiludu The British drink wine! Are you really that thick and insular?

[Nunneywiggles]

@fabriziopiludu Ignorance, on youtube?

[ligne3]

Crazy girl

[vicen09rdg]

who of those is Fatboy Slim?? :O

[youkosa]

@vicen09rdg 0:13 is norman cook aka fatboy slim x

[vicen09rdg]

@youkosa cool guy xD thx;)

[rmontecristo]

O Fatboy Slim, com esse cabelo, tá parecendo um personagem dos Simpsons.

[meattube2009]

that cow looks pissed

[therealriscy]

ah, sad that pop and music have loved this quirkiness and sense of silliness

[kealo68]

love this song..remember the days!!!

[cobwebcol]

Brum tonite, can`t wait

[rapidtightgroup]

Just watched paul and madness in nottingham......amazing,awesom­e,a true classic concert...

[deanok1960]

Saw Paul last night in Blackpool supporting Madness - he did this - abs awesome

[LOVEDAVEGAHAN]

Fantastic stuff......Paul Heaton is so underrated as a singer/songwriter.

[matteopinix]

bass by fat boy slim

[knockknock909]

@0:47 Robert Deniro's guest appearance? LOL

[spamrancher]

Housemartins kick butt. Beautiful South...not so much. Paul Heaton is an amazing person, but should have stuck with the original band and seen where they could have gone.

[markBoiify]

i fucking hate conservatives

[warriorprince1010]

@markBoiify Yeah cos like labour were so much better. They left the UK an equal opportunity country with no poverty, only 5 million people on welfare and well regulated banks. Yeah down with the tories and bring back Brown, woooo.

[rolandsausage]

@warriorprince1010

Spot on. New labour = old tories. Blair was more tory than Major and was on a par with Thatcher.

[warriorprince1010]

@rolandsausage It was Brown who deregulated banks and knighted fred goodwin [greedy banker]. The far left and the far right are the same. We need centralist politics, like Scandanvia.

[rolandsausage]

@warriorprince1010

That's the model I'd like to see an independent Scotland take.

[MrGrischuk09]

ein "gute laune" lied - witzig und gut gesungen!

[christopherhealing]

just listened 2 that.....1st time in about 20yrs....still just as good xx

[yaser5572]

حلوة وبتفكرنى بأحلى أيام

[gazebbs123]

@yaser5572 yes, my thoughts eactly mate.

[THESTAFFIECHANNEL]

How things change...I live in Essex and every farm in my area had a Vote Conservative Banner in their fields.Then every other weekend they do a farmers market asking us to support our local farms....HAhaha I would'nt give em the steam off my piss Tory Fuckers!!!

[tyttis1972]

For the memory of my jolly neighbour, rest in peace.

[IanoMourhinoo]

I love the Rural Social Scheme!!! lol

[thehooders1]

for my baby jen xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[daviiddd2k10]

4 My Hubby xxxxxx

[GlorifiedTruth]

YAY for this song!

[tammas2000]

and Paul Weller got all the credit for social comments??? this song should go down as a traditional folk song about the way farmers have ruled our countrysides, begged and stole benefits from CAP, and poisoned the people.

[romansandals]

How can anyone not feel great after listening to this classic?

I just love it!

[fabriziopiludu]

La famosa carne bovina inglese...

Quando è uscita questa canzone, non era ancora uscito il morbo della mucca pazza.

[stuneale1184]

the video for this song was recorded in my village(walkington), on a farm owned by a guy who goes by the name of worzel!-TRUE STORY

[isuzuman12345]

love it



[furtles]

doesn't get any better than this ,baby!

[BlesamaSoul]

My cousin went to University with them, she said they were champagne socialists! oh well another career ahead of these little red cook book types with George Osborne bringing sense back to British economics and politics, oh and I'm a farmer!

[tammas2000]

@BlesamaSoul subsidy junkie :-)

[covadonga4242]

[affortunatus]

[toolaek]

GREAT DAYS!!!!!

[Xsh4deX]

Ok I'm not rly a Fan of this kind of music, but they are really cool! Even if I'm from the "younger Generation" I like it - and would even more like it, if I was from their generation ;>

[judasgrl]

Woah, who'd have thought Norman Cook was such an awesome bass player?! lol He's wasted as a DJ, the Housemartins should reform!

[punkyhiphopdood]

@judasgrl What?? Norman Cook was/is a fantastic DJ

[kenfookingdodd]

That picnic looks tasty. I want the fooker.

[biscuitandtika]

The farmer he's a happy crook

[ecogipa]

[hiltonboy101]

[V3CZ]

Fat Boy Housemartin

[TerryNutkins80]

That guy out of Shalamar nicked most of his dance moves off his lot.

[desdesman]

[MarcoShevil]

[kink66]

IT'S TIME FOR A REUNION....

[ferrers88]

[manfilth]

@kink66 I agree... I loved the Housemartins way more than Beautiful South!

[warriorprince1010]

@kink66 Oh yes.

[discomjim]

@kink66 totally agrred :) would Paul Heaton agree though?

[UB4042]

@kink66 i'd love to see a reunion of the lads

[muntari82]

its Hand and blister

[TomYeoo]

me and the farmer we get on like ham and blister? o.O Epic lyrics lulululululul

[knightbox]

hand and blister. Make more sense that way?

[britnano]

@knightbox hahaha. It's cockney. "She's got a sister like on the palm of her hand's got a blister" To get on like hand and blister it they're as thick as thieves. He means "me and the farmer they're as thick as thieves..."

So other cockney terms: Apple = stairs. because Apple and Pears are stairs, Ant and Decs is oral sex, Boat is Face because Face is Boat Race...hand for sister because hand's got a blister.

[yazzman13]

@britnano bet the foreigners are really confused now :)

[britnano]

@yazzman13 it's london slang

[kjpify]

[tomfoolery57]

[lakonislate]

Haven't heard this song in decades, I hardly know it, but that line has been popping into my head randomly for twenty years now.

Me, aahaahaand the farmer. There it is again.

[parisbercy]

London 0 Hull 4

[davidgeorge11]

Actually, it's off of "The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death". Both are great albums though.

[kink66]

NOT JUST GREAT -[BRILLIANT!!]

[anjos22noite157]

muito bom msm...

[Veee8]

A timeless song - dated video...but it makes it even more enjoyable....

[plastikbertrand]

Quality

[alexismachado]

Great LP from my teenager times... keeps good till today.

[havantascooby]

I love the housemartins dances - they are great & make me laugh

[Leyawiin84]

Always loved the Housemartins (and Dave Hemingway is very handsome!) :D

[DiffeyFamily6]

cool song!

[lancs]

pure class i was at school lol

[monkeyswift]

1:11 Fat Boy Slim looks like Devvo!!!!

[britishleylandcrap]

I didnt even know this song existed until I heard it on the end credits of "Britains Hardest Villages"

:P

[chocolatepoundcake]

Amazing... haven't heard this since I was 18!!!! Had a best of by THM....brilliant!!

[LittleTokyoOff]

this is awesome

[edreams11]

i love housemartins!!! great song

[AnneCaroline23]

like Weezr ,i love Housemartins ,love Weezer :)

hehehehheh ,Love him

[alyerart]

rural rules!!! :))

[napalmenema1]

Dave Hemingway (the drummer) tried to chat my mum up in the 80s

[albionlemonde]

everyone tried to chat your mum up in the 80's...i proably your dad!!!.LOL sorry mate could not resist it

[napalmenema1]

It must be you I have to blame for the ginger hair!

[bappek]

This video could cure a depression! Love the dance!!

[racket2007]

lol, the swinging isnt too bad either.

[peterdelane]

pulled a muscle in the back of me leg once trying that shit on the dance floor...warm up first and don't wait until you're 6 pints to the wind

[kiran2368]

Love them like hell but an english guy said they're pro national front..i was crushed. Hope its not true. Someone pls clarify.

[britishleylandcrap]

It's nowhere near true. The lead singer Paul Heaton is a confirmed socialist.

[kiran2368]

Cheers mate.

[TimmytheGeek2009]

love the dance numbers - choreographed by Michael Jackson no doubt.

[deepest39]

no ,no...I gave them an idea for dancing ;)

[bfnputz]

It was JLo

[Wirecell]

Doing this song for Choir at my school it's more jazzy and piano our version lol

[lionelritchie]

Huge Housemartins fan ...used even be in a tribute band! ...and guess what -I'd never seen this video. A very, very fine piece of songwriting.

[boybandmassacre]

stonewashed denims with white socks and black shoes..yeah!

[FlyingFoxOz]

Sick, sick minds - and one of the funniest music videos ever. Thank you for posting it.

[sidandmoi]

adorable

[mxnxjx]

100th rating yahoo ya boya

[peaky9191]

commies

[peaky9191]

up the housemartins got me thro my hood am 37 old twat

[bennyzin]

fuckin gay

[vamosmoya]

Hummmm! I don't know who you are or what you like in life, but I'm sure you would hate have your ass kicked because of that. Those guys are not doing anything to threat your personnal freedom, so make sure to swallow your violence and intolerance. Modern philosophy has one great principle: individual conscience. If it's good for you, it's good for them as well. Otherwise, your own freedom will be at stake.

A straight guy who can't stand coward behavior...

[luigisilverio]

too over the top...

[0114owl1867]

when my best mate passed his test in summer 86 we played this album over and over again while drivin round lookin for birds ha ha top times i wouldnt swap them memories for owt !

[Shrekdonkey1973]

I agree, it rocks!

Heard it for the first time on Danish P3's Barometret.

[burandas]

only 57k views?!?!?!

and britney spears has millios of views?!?!?!

UNBELIEVEABLE!!!

[gilipollas66]

Perhaps, but burandas, quality is better than quantity.

[kink66]

they were really good band

i wish they''ll reform!

[thecitizens]

smashing song , havn't heard this in years .. thanks for uploading :)

[kellerinhak]

kuakuakuakua

excelent!!!!

[especulata]

pedazo de grupo

[uclrichard]

their videos were very entertaining and their songs had powerful (slighly socialist) messages with lots of irony, wit and contemporary wisdom. they were, in my view, one of the ten best bands ever formed in england. beatles bowie/spiders led zep smiths joy div kinks stones who sex pistols pet shop boys housemartins

[BeanStovi]

Hmm.I mostly agree,except I'd swap pet shop boys for either Queen or The Clash

[scouser691]

I'll second that, preferably The Clash. Not bad list though

[blagger56]

Not a bad list, but maybe substitute Pouge Mahone for the Pet Shop Boys, and The Hollies for the Kinks.

[dosinfartos]

Ok, but you forgot The Jam. By the way, Paul Weller played the guitar for Heaton´s Beautifull South once...

[tamdarhy]

pet shop boys. fuck off pal, wank. gays n all

[webhamsterkumpel]

du hast OASIS vergessen, aue!

[kink66]

WOW ARE YOU MY LOST BROTHER?

[ruth1488]

sound as!

[deepesttime]

From this corner ot the planet, tnx for sharing this. The Housemartins somehow helped shape my teenage years. Does anyone have the actual video of The Light is Always Green, with the four of them bobsledding and everything?

[deepest39]

sehr cool und EASY
