Blue Zoo - Cry Boy Cry

[steaminboot]

Ha , Ha , Ha , always liked the song but couldn't remember the vidl , looks like some weird glory hole porno movie !

[soash20]

What a bunch of fucking tossers

[flemwad]

@soash20 even though I uploaded it - which I did because it was asked for - I have to agree with you

[IanD309]

@soash20 You my friend are the f****** tosser. Have a NICE DAY)

[soash20]

@IanD309 All my days are lovely and I don't have this lame shit hanging around my neck - how's your day?

[antbarton]

@IanD309 Agreed!!

[SmithMartyn]

Interesting to revisit after nearly 30 years, but a poor track really...

[numberonedreams]

superrr

[dlamiss]

great early 80s song

sadly one of those songs never played anymore

[danmunday1]

Andy Overall (lead singer) is a mate of mine - I also work with him. Blue Zoo are currently gigging around London - go check em out....

[naruto10191]

dude......wtf

[preciousbash]

Long live the 80's and the greats bands of that decade. 

[johncasey435588]

What the fuck is this?!!! who ever made this video should hang themselves by there balls and slice their fucking neck. If i were the dude like getting fucking raped id pull out a fucking shotgun and fuck shit up. this video is clearly for gay flaming fucksticks!

[johncasey435588]

@johncasey435588 ...die boy die!!!!!!!

[flemwad]

@johncasey435588 say what you mean mate, don't hold back lol

[TheCanndyman]

@johncasey435588

Great song... shame about the video! Thanks for sharing though - it's one of those weird 80s ones that they only could've got away with then. No wonder it never got shown on Top of the Pops! ;-)

[TheMjblades]

@TheCanndyman As opposed to the shit as hell vids now-basic adverts for sexless egoists who think what they're really doing is fantastic when the opposite is truth. Of course as they're all much alike now, you couldn't pick one out-just like you couldn't pick out one 'singer' from another-they all sound/look the same-i.e very bloody awful! Pop vids have often been bad, but back then the song would always rise above it, plus it was their only way of promoting the single to the masses-unlike now.

[lunarpebs]

@johncasey435588 ....such a great constructive comment...well done you...you are so so clever x

[lunarpebs]

@johncasey435588 

[raychris10]

@johncasey435588 The lady doth protest too much!

[mrxplosivejoseph]

F&%$ing QUALITY!!!!!!!!

[43lochness]

god, iam glad drunk is still an option!

[korkeycat]

Reminds me so much of the State in Liverpool, this is on the album edge of the 80s

[Mascardinho]

Ha ha , I love this song so much, didn´t really think it´d be here. B.I.G. THX for posting :D

[TherymasterWidnes]

dislikes???????? fuckin liars

[pannoni1]

Here in the US, I got a US Promo copy in Near Mint condition (could be quite collectible potentially).

[someblokecalledchris]

@pannoni1 me too 12"on record

[sophelizt]

Thank you!!!!! My cassette tapes are long since consigned to the bin and hadn't heard this for ages.

[korkeycat]

@sophelizt I have this on mp3 if you would like a copy msg me, classic 80s

[someblokecalledchris]

@korkeycat hi what classic .. found this just last year on record in a charity shop .. was so happy and it plays fantastic on record ..on 12" happy days also got on mp3 .southampton .

[sophelizt]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not had this since my old mix cassette tapes (taped off David "Kid" Jensen's shows on Radio 1 no doubt) were consigned to the bin.

[sophelizt]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not had this since one of my old mix tapes, taped off Radio 1, David Kid Jensen no doubt, died.

[davewhittno1]

glory holes

[SjonniTh]

I love this song... but the video is a very different story, it's nonsence!

[iutiujvngf]

Top live band they're playing The Lexington London N1 on 5th October

[KoshKolosh]

I bought the UK version vinyl of 2 by 2 an hour ago. I finally know the lyrics to John's Lost! I do prefer incoherent singing over clear vocals though.

[guthywoodry]

Yeah, I know I'm going to send all the ageing New Romantics into a tizz that may require the remedial attentions of an Emergency Hairdresser, but with these sorts, the music was entirely by-the-way.

What mattered was just how long they spent in the hairdresser's chair & the bouffance of their fringes.

Nothing else really mattered.

[jaynebrandon]

Memories thanks so much.

[froggyprincess1]

another '80's goody!! thanks

[flemwad]

@trashcanalive that is the top of the pops vid not this one, but i do know exactly what you mean..like he had lost control for a bit poor man

[glittervamp1]

@trashcanalive They are back playing London had a show case last month it was great Next show Sept 23rd, Madam JoJos, Soho and 5th Oct Lexington. Angel

[nobbilc]

@trashcanalive Interesting comments. I recalled liking this song "back in the day". After watching and listening to this rather OTT video ...I no longer do. Oh well.... we move on and develop taste don't we...Now where's my zimmer frame...

[paulbuttrill]

I was 13 when this was released. I'm 41 now and I still get goose pimples when I hear it. The memories of my youth are still vivid. What a great era. "You don't know a good thing 'til it's gone" is such a true statement.

[zedcrowther]

this song is out of this world? still sends me into heaven

[mrordinaryuk]

Flemwad you're a star!! Thanks for posting this. Had forgotten about it till a friend mentioned it...gotta love You Tube :o)

[fixater1]

See their blog...just search for Blue Zoo on Wikipedia and there is a link to it there.

They played a gig last night in Shepherds Bush and it was really good hearing this material live. They seriously pulled it off and I really hope they come back again soon.

[wewoninrotterdam]

thanx thanx thanx

[carot2003]

Cheers...

[lowtit]

now, if you u can locate their promo for 'somewhere in the world there's a cowboy smiling' i will be impressed!

[lowtit]

they were signed to shit magnet records

[SuperJenkos]

excellent tune !!

[SuperJenkos]

excellent tune !!!!

[optandus]

Great to see and hear this one again - thanks for posting!again

[Lambretta1969]

Good times, I bought the 7" single the day after hearing it, I seem to remember it had a blue picture sleeve. I must dig it out.

[lilmisspino]

@Lambretta1969

Think the sleeve was pink! Still, respect for 'fessing up to owning it .... me too!

Ah! The 80's. Yer can't beat 'em :-)

[Chipvw63]

Great to see this again, saw the video in the Hippodrome nightclub in 83, always wanted to get the single....thanks for the post and youtube....not many to track down now

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

HEAVENLY 1001%!

[MisspentYouth70]

Great song. At school the bullies used to sing this to the unfortunates that they bullied.

[mrxplosivejoseph]

Looking back to the 80's

Why these guys didnt reach higher levels ?

I have no ideas,?

this is a bloody catchy track!!

Thanx for the mems!!!

[priapus56]

@mrxplosivejoseph ..Bass player became a successful property wheeler dealer...

[CatFiain]

One of the best new wave tracks...

[HALFAMICK]

[preciousbash]

F ME RUNNING>>> I LOVE THIS SONG and SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD THERE"S A COWBOY SMILING!!! LOVE YOU TUBE.  I AM TOTALLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS...FAVING IT!!

[gallente4TW]

[MrBennyHinnAgain]

I remember them performing at Wolverhampton poly about 1981, I think. Great song.

[hardmanners]

I loved the whole album "Two by two" and played the vinyl to death. Years later I stumbeled upon it again and bought it once again as I could'nt find it on CD. I still have the 2 vinyls.

[sexualigglepiggle]

when this came out i bought it and played it to death, great track!

[wonderloly]

pushing inward....take. my. hand.

[szaborecoil]

the love-child of The Lotus Eaters / Wild Swans and B-Movie ! fan-tastic !

[22Phantasm]

Great to see that some people remember classics like The Lotus Eaters and the Wild Swans. Cudos to you.....

[mysterywhylay]

[gv6819uk2b]

Very 80's. £2,000 budget for the video. Those Trever Horn glasses. The front guy had a good look about him in a weird way...good dental work for the 80's.

[Janwolf]

I couldn't have put that better!

[fergieyerman]

What a piece of perfect 80's pop! I'm back dancing with my mates at the "disco" - that's "clubbing" for the younger audience- acting the prat and watching the girls dance around their handbags. OOOH those salad days!

Get your coat yer pulled.......

[Janwolf]

Oh fantastic!

I've never found anybody (even of my own age) who remembers this song. I bloody loved it.

Funnily enough I never saw the video, just the appearances on totp!

Many thanks to GF who found this for me. :-)

[gee081287]

I am remember this song well and saw it TOTP but this is the first time I've seen the video! :D

Great tune!

[beaumont1920]

I remember cycling to the shops on the Saturday after seeing them on Top of the Pops, pocket money in hand and just enough left for a copy of Look-In comic!

[dlamiss]

great song

[ajs41]

Was Andy O from Basildon by any chance? He's got that feel about him.

[dank316]

Andy O was from Braintree I went to school with him

[russ7510]

want a forgotten 80's classic

[lovekaulitzlove]

thank you!been waiting for years...not me but my dad...

[nicholavaughan]

What a blast from the past... this and Hollywood Beyond "No More Tears"; New Order "Shellshock" and Lotus Eaters "First Picture of You"... happy memories of drunken Eighties Evenings.....

[mckane416]

used to love this tune top banana!

[iamkendrick]

this tune is on the edge of the eighties cd,i recommend

[newromanticgal]

Yes!, my search has ended...when i saw clip 1:42 on MTV's, "It Came From The 80's" back in the summer of 95', always wanted to know the name of the band & video, until now..Thanks for uploading :D!

[15chipshops]

I find it quite ridiculous that Blue Zoo are not available on CD and as i do not play my vinyl anymore i am very thankful for Youtube and to people who have posted these great tunes.

Cheers!!!

[czypauly07]

bloody right amen to that!

[ksutch]

I remember Andy O when he lived in West Hampstead with his girlfriend Miranda in late 1980's. Just like to say he was amongst one of the kindest & most genuine people you could ever wish to meet!!! lovely guy - wish him all the best. Wendy. x

[Dannsaid]

thanks for posting buddy , this tunes great , cheers

[CHRISTIANTMC]

THIS IS STUPID

[Soccerham]

Blue Zoo's 2 x 2 LP was an amazing album then and still is! music like this, so free and pure is not made nowadays.

[someblokecalledchris]

love this track...why does not radio not play this ...sheer class...got this on 12''stunning.

[scorpiotrue]

Was Mike Ansell the bass player on this?

[stargazerlmb]

I have 12" of this too - not a mark on it - great track - dont make em like this anymore

[nastynic]

I have 12inch version of i"m your man,so will try to add soon.

[facundoph]

any mtv of Graceland by The Bible, Love Me Simple by Tuesday Blue, Total Recall by The Sound, More To Loose by Seona Dancing, Stay by Blue Nile and Tears by The Chameleons ....... Tnx

[ajs41]

Can someone please tell me why Blue Zoo's video for Forgive and Forget has been removed? I used to love watching that as well as this video.

[pandora80sbox]

yes i love it too....

[BraceZenith]

Forgive and Forget is great song. It's really weird that it's not as popular as other 80s hits.

[ajs41]

The guy with the huge glasses looks like a cross between a young John Major and Trevor Horn!

"This distraction turns me sideways" - that's a great lyric.

[zeniamaria]

Great tune from a brilliant era. Havn't heard it for years. Anyone know where I can download this??

[tarwan3]

i actually have this track on cd. send me your e-mail and i will send it to you.

[jaymob123]

Ace track , so much so Republica ripped the riff for their "classic" Ready to go (or watever) Doh ya think??

[CatFiain]

That's spooky... I love Republica's debut album, but never made the connection before. Energy level's the same. Good call!

[scorpiotrue]

would that be Mike Ansell on bass?

[CatFiain]

What an Eighties classic and one of my top 10 tracks from the era. Haven't heard it in donkeys!!!!! Thankyou ***so much"*** for posting this!!! {-D

[someblokecalledchris]

25 yrs ago, god i feel old.

[neilb13]

"This was the only group that could compete with Duran Duran"

LMAO! Compete in crapness you mean?

[mdnathan]

somewhere in the world there's a Blue Zoo fan smiling ;)

[moonbatt]

OMG. NO ONE knows who A Blue Zoo is. I would think they only existed in my mind if I didn't still have the vinyl...!!

[pxyzyzygy]

Andy O? He hangs around Northfields Tube telling people he used to be famous and poncing money.

[philthy42]

Great!Whatever happened to Andy O?

[blatch332]

Excellent! I've also got the 7" of this but I've no longer got a turntable to play it on.

[mspeekay]

Fantastic!

[StayDel]

[jhaytoribio]

the good old days!

...anybody with "Love Moves In Strange Ways" ?

[pluggzie]

Great song, really takes me back. Love the look of the band, especially the lead vocalist. Guy with short dark hair sitting at chess board tapping his fingers is quite the cutie. It`s time their 2x2 album was remastered and finally released on CD. It`s only been like 25 years...lol.

[robgib0]

that would be mick sparrow drummer

andy o went on to front a band called the motherhive saw them in hampstead once .....ok
