Neneh Cherry - Manchild

[scottandtracey2007]

memories oh memories walking down broad street, shell suit gleaming , big tongued trainers with mark spark garrick

[theoriginalpeachpie]

Still love this tune after all these years.

[jeroenderee]

Heeeeeeeeerlijk....Thanks Neneh

[sebounet311]

pas mal. Yesterday ... haha

[MacheLPA]

Fabulosa!!!! Neneh!!!

[dueporte1]

Beautyful girl

[dueporte1]

Beautiful song

[danimossi]

Number 10 in the UK chart June 89, the week my 22 year old daughter was born.

[rugbydazz]

@danimossi so true i remember well i emergrated to America the week after and she was unknown there.

[mickebork]

Go Sweden artist :)

[MrQuadlupe]

Neneh's vocal is perfect. I've just experienced deja vu. This video must have been early 1990. Amazing.

[legorret1]

@MrQuadlupe It was the summer hit of 1989. Great time, great memory.

[MrQuadlupe]

@legorret1 Was that the U.K. release?

[legorret1]

@MrQuadlupe I don't know.

[Meehowski]

Epic...........

[Nancydney]

Très bon !!!

[bernerer]

Hmm. 400T hits only. Interesting. And a bit sad.

[dofane]

I loved Buffalo Stance, and then heard this .... was blown out! Love it still ...

[mythic32]

I remember this coming out when I was at school, I'd forgotten how awesome this track is ! :)

[leesyloo131]

@STEJTHEGREATEST That's Andrea Oliver in the background: Neneh's best friend. They were in the punk group Rip Rig and panic togother in the early 80's and did a cookery show together on the BBC a couple of years ago!

[STEJTHEGREATEST]

@leesyloo131 She has the perfect body in my eyes and I can't stop watching her when she walks back and forth. If I saw someone like that on the streets, I wouldn't be able to stop myself from approaching her, and I probably wouldn't leave her until she agreed to a date.

[MegaBILLYBALLBAG]

Brilliant! 

[gadgetgirl23]

Nina is awesome <3 big love to her bae lady Naima and her boo John and lil ginger baby boy,, must be about 8 now!! <3

[bestdealer0073]

@gadgetgirl23 that kid would be a grown up these days

[stoltmain123]

great song i love it forever neneh come back with your nice music

rotterdam holland

[Islamisbad1]

I feel old now, i was 19 when this came out, I am now 41!

[maygoodcometous1]

@Islamisbad1 45! I feel y'a! Are we just goofy for liking this stuff, or what? Peace!

[jackmatthewtyson]

@Islamisbad1 is it THAT old??? I'm 41 also

[Islamisbad1]

@jackmatthewtyson It may have been a year or 2 earlier, strawberry fields forever by candy flip was the same time(recorded both off the Charts), just checked, 1990., Stone Roses at work all day back then.

[STEJTHEGREATEST]

Does anyone know who that woman with the booty is who keeps walking back and forth in the background?

[46Livvy46]

The guy with the gold hat on- any one got a name for him? Love this song x

[MrSuperheli]

Lang Leben die späten 80`er.......Manchild forever!!!!! ;))))

[punba34]

amnesia cap 89/90

[izeizei]

Loved this tune in 1990 and still love it today. Timeless, beautiful song.

[4lifesweetheart]

Beauriful child

[jmo2008]

+1 αν ήρθατε εδώ από την Ήβη Αδάμου!

[DariaRock1]

those leggins :D :D :D lol

[paully1969]

never knew she was connected to Massive Attack... I can hear it now you mention it. You are quite right about Bristol tho now you point it out... Thanks x

[MrJunkers88]

The male backing singers are so fit!

[foxfoobar]

thanx, i downloaded the video! I'm from germany... no wait, my proxy says mexico! OK so greets from mexico!

[bluelithualien]

I say put down that prick called vevo. What a kaarnt. Three!!! fucking songs and only 200MB gone ... What a nice man. If I see you around the birch trees I'll make sure you hang with/On one

[JustGotBroadBandWOW]

Miquita Olivers mum is in this. I see where she gets her looks from.

[hipsam33]

Good memories!!! I love this song!!! Looooooooooove is the ANSWER!!! :-)

[tlc496]

oh i remember that record raw like sushi i played that tape out

[octavius1augustus]

timeless song ahead of its time

[niev300]

styled by the late great Ray Petri (R.I.P.)

[kman6969]

Pity about the rap bit.......this song would be so amazing otherwise. I saw her do a pretty dire live version of this in the mid-nineties to boot (it had a bit of a 'Hey now, girls just wanna have fun ' vibe to it.....)

[billmonster6]

this is not wat i was looking for when i typed in "MANCHILD!!"

[TURBODORK2]

ive never taken hallucinagenic drugs but this video must be what its like

[TheDEATHSTARIII]

the instrumentals are awesome love the orchestra with electronic

[theCluevi]

Τη θυμαμαι απο τοτε δε γερασα μα απ ο,τι φαινεται μεγαλωσα λιγακι

[DdeH1973]

let's go basic!

[TheDEATHSTARIII]

that baby must be 20 by now

[SuperQueenofAfrica]

cant believe this is over twenty yrs old..

[youngmick2]

The song and lyrics said everything 2me living in Amsterdam 4 the 2nd time and

working at Fokker 4 the 2nd time-trippy!

[jjandbee]

nice song and i still like it...thought , she should use a condom :) , but then whe have a paradox , would nenneh done this good song ..

[youngmick2]

belter everything,middle 8,lyrics,manchild,geordies!

[hackerdeehack]

i dont get the lyrics but what i do recall is that all you need is the air that you breathe! good song! XD

[TheTraceyx]

absolute tune x

[Deliters]

Oh how do I love thee let me count the ways...

[dsim200000]

OH I get it! Its about men who are never home to support their wives!

[dsim200000]

I've never understood the lyrics, but I always love any Neneh video. Is the meaning of the video about men who don't act their own age?

[MsFanmail]

Neneh rocks this song was big when i was a teenager

[richcolour]

A perfect antidote to the depressing images served up on our rectangular doom boxes.

The Rhythm King revival is long overdue.

[chloboshoka]

Raw Like Sushi. :)

[legbreaker]

I think we all forgot, how good music was back in those days..

[fyx195]

I live in France, in a town that's fits with this song.Anyway, this song still fits with future.A great song, good for every one. It's allways a pleasure to listen to this perfection.

[Hot80s]

childhood friend was Lars Ulrich metallica.

[because0011]

the guy with the gold cap is her dj

[DramaBiatch]

who's the guy with that golden cap on his head, he was goodlooking

[latinoariocagilvan]

very vey nice

[junysaerus]

adore this song neneh brilliant first heard this on a beach in cornwall always reminds me of the beauty of the place and this fantastic song love it junysawrus x

[RuiLeTubo]

This song and also this video always had the ability to put me in a very good, almost mystical, place in my mind. Guess what! 20+ years later it still does it for me!

Beautiful... Thank you Neneh Cherry.

[anxresi]

Why do I suddenly feel seasick?

[dimka76]

It's always a pleasure to suddenly remember great quality tune from the days of youth and have a possibility to watch it right away. Thank you!

[henkdegroot48]

Echt vet gaaf krijg kippenvel ervan!!

[legbreaker]

@henkdegroot48

Muziek van vroeger.. dit was gewoon mainstream, maar zo ontzettend goed vergeleken met die rotzooi van hedendaags...



[dazzerman]

This is one of my desert island disks.

[caysieunicorn]

80s yes, back then they could make real music. Go for it Swedes Marianne K ( Neneh ) :)

[swirlyfroggi]

Y U NO MAKE A GOOD VIDEO?!?!?!??

[iceman17421]

top

[Krogius1963]

Lovely !!

[leicsbred]

Saw Neneh at glastonbury this year and she opened with this. Blew me away.

[KrillLiberator]

Has everyone heard this recently? Crikey - I didn't, but for som ereason it got in my head just now and well, I'd forgotten just how good this song is. So glad I heard it again; go to bed happy now.

[armand011]

@KrillLiberator It got in my head a couple of days back, but I've only remembered now to watch the video :-)

[nataliafaun8]

one of my favorite songs tbh

[tallchap30]

wow. heard this again on radio 1 and frgot how much i loved this when i was 15. still sounds greats now.

[GreyknightV6]

Was played this morning on the BBC R1 golden hour, had to come and listen again. Love this track.

[stonefisk]

@GreyknightV6 yep, been in my head all day, heard it on radio 1 this morning and got shivers from the memories.

[slamster]

@stonefisk Haha same here. I heard it again on Radio 1 aswell

[rebekahhbubz]

No she had just had her baby

[Biostrath]

This song haunts me...

The lyrics seem to hit a deep spot and the music just adds to it

[Charrister]

Steve Strange???

[bacardi123]

WUZ SHE PREGNANT IN THIS VID???

[Tony2002td]

@bacardi123 YES !

[Tony2002td]

@bacardi123 No Just had one !

[captaintugwash]

WHY ISN'T POP MUSIC THIS GOOD ANYMORE?

[jimpatra]

nice years!!!

[ItekeH]

what year was this again?

[78katemarie]

whether your renting or buying....SKIP!!

[riproar11]

So hilarious that someone would glorify or talk up to a ManChild! I grew up with guys who couldn't clean up their dishes in the sink of even keep a clean bathroom. Hilarious that a woman gets so worked up to write a tribute songs about some low life who got on her nerves. Neneh Cherry. Cut the crap. Write songs like you did in the late 80s!

[007bondspy]

@riproar11 You lookin for a REAL man babe....P.M me ..you wont be dissapointed..REAL MAN SEEKS REAL WO'MAN...

[captaintugwash]

@riproar11

She wrote this in the late 80's. Don't you feel a plonker now?

[riproar11]

@captaintugwash Nope. Not important enough

[ATOPINHA]

Para sempre ficará esta melodia na minha vida

[TheSpudnic]

Amazing - she was connected to Massive Attack and the Bristol Sound. Also that city spawned other great acts like Portishead, Tricky, Roni Size, Kosheen, AllFlaws

[onthe1and2]

@TheSpudnic Yeah, Robert Del Naja wrote this song.

[BFCP4647]

I forgot how awesome this song & video was! I haven't seen this video since 1989. I was 17 going on 18 when I saw this video. It still looks great. It too bad I don't, lol! Thanks for the awesome trip back to 89, it was a great year for me.

[AmyLilies]

@BFCP4647

1989 was a great year for me too, lol. Still rank it as the best so far... (I was 16 back then.)

Still love Neneh Cherry´s "Manchild"... And imagine.. that little baby in the vid, is all grown up now!

And yes, it was her own. :)

[wysiwyg2006]

excellent tune and video, love the way it starts tilting with the music

[neilmac991]

i wish my baby was that well behaved

[trickykid73]

That guy with the gold chain , cracks me up . His dancing skills are funny !

[TheTheraphosa2004]

love the song, and neneh she is beutifull woman and a great singer or was

[reallyfullofmyself]

my baby daughter grew up in my womb listening to this whole album...reckon that's why she became such a balanced andcoolsmooth person up til this date.. I was sooo in harmony with my life, myself and my pregnancy listening to this music.. brings me back to tha happiest time of my life ever every time i hear neneh cherry.. bless her, and thank you forvever

[MrSKINFLICK]

[mrmr1964]

Ground breaking for its time . . outstanding song

[omniking2006]

It has a lullabye-type melody to it.

[ondrejvaroscak]

[gllad31]

@ondrejvaroscak Morgan & Mcvay they were ex models and had a hit with looking good diving. They used to hang around with Nenah and Nick Keman.

[gllad31]

@ondrejvaroscak Sorry Morgan Mcvey if you you tube Looking Good Diving you will see nenah in the video

[cherobivader]

[78katemarie]

i so love this song totally beautiful..:)

[irreversible1988]

Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO1

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations?

WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE

Post this in every video and let's start a youtube revolution!

Thumbs up to keep it up top!

[cannonballkid]

@irreversible1988 Damn just google adblock plus you wont have to watch commercials before any videos.

[Zubrus555]

Hmmmm nice

[MisterFrenchy1987]

Great video, so good music! The video director is Jean-Baptiste Mondino, it's his style! He made a lot vids for Madonna "Open your heart" and more, Don Henley "Boys of summer", Rita Mitsouko "C'est comme ça", Alain Chamfort his first vid in 1981 "Rendez-vous au paradis", REM, Missy Elliott, ... and for him too for the french electro-dance band called Mon Dino "La danse des mots" in 1983, a wonderful video!

[Teestrup]

Great video! What is she doing now?

[Teestrup]

Great video!

[Squaidette]

i watched her cooking show Neneh and Andi XD shes epic

[kenyanbear]

OMG, she was just gorgeous and beyond amazingly talented !!! I luvluvluv Neneh!!!! that's when rap came from the heart, when lyrics actually had a message!!!

[MsFanmail]

Neneh cherry rocks i luv all her songs raw like sushi was a g8 album this lady rocks.

[Ebbsilen]

Shame to me i discovered this great song just in 2010 :(

[bonatoc]

@Ebbsilen — It's never too late.

[adamwilly]

@bonatoc n that goes for anything in life :) so long as yer breathing its never EVER too late :) perhaps unless yer in a care home that is :)

[zensista75]

I know the rap OFF BY HEART. Love this ever since it was released. OK, showing my age!! : D

[fyx195]

A very sweet strange song performed by a weird angel.

[biggunsno1]

she is an absolute honey

[eleven38]

@biggunsno1 agreed, she is gorgeous!

[2805EF]

@JBieberzGurl13@ (Justin B will never ever ever make music with this deeper lyrics by the way) Where does she look at when she sings "manchild"...? pretty obvious isn't it?

This is still a nice song. Loved it then en still like to hear it.

[youmann09]

my favorite ! miss this time period.

[JBieberzGurl13]

omg this song is so werid what the heck is a manchild anyway

[jessicana77]

@JBieberzGurl13 OMG

[MrLeerevill]

@JBieberzGurl13 An immature man!

[78katemarie]

what a beautiful song and video...:)

[TheGillywillywoo]

god i hate vevo, no probs at all until a vid i wanted to watch was on vevo and nothin wont play, twats

[lavenderfire1000]

wow.... this music video made me question my morols......... deep stuff man... DEEP STUFF

[MrLeerevill]

Pure Class!!!!!

[Tarantulisimo]

This video was directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino...He did lotsa music vids in the 80s & 90s, including a bunch of Madonna's & Prince "I Wish U Heaven"

[bumblebert]

whos the fella in the gold hat? hes gorgeous!

[juratuke]

Love love love this singer !!!!!

[jah420smp]

apparently, the director of the video went to neneh's house to discuss ideas and that's how she answered the door, towel on the head and holding her infant. the director was like YES! thats the look for the video. voila !

[dsim200000]

@jah420smp Awesome!

[AphroditeEros33]

~♥~it brings me back!!! the Raw Like Sushi album is such a reminiscence*^o^* i just love it!!!~♥~

[MsGeorgiosPanayiotou]

♥ I love this videoclip ♥

[dantastic15]

I remember when all the girls at school dressed like this!

[cockycol]

Neneh Cherry and Cher Lloyd do not even belong in the same sentence... This still sounds fresh now - a true classic never dies - unlike Cher's (ahem) career?

[megadriver1]

The roots of the comercial Rap.... Goodest than today.... Id love Neneh Cherry, she's image, when i was Younger..... MMmmmm What a woman.... Kisses from Spain Neneh.

[hunterwise]

this is crap...was back then and still is

[AnimalsRightToDance]

Manchild melody visited my brain today while sitting at work and now im grooving in front of the computer with a new perspective for life...

[lovelypinkflower]

the past had great music but without basic cable you couldn't watch any music videos. Now thanks to youtube we can take a look at the past

[leicsbred]

Epic... helped massively by the music being written predominantly by Massive Attack.

Love it.

[LoShGaliki]

we need to go back to the roots of good music, luv it luv you neneh cherry!!!

[peterponken]

So good:)

[MegaMillyMollyMandy]

This is what Cher Lloyd wishes she could be!

[Gyrosschotel]

The song as well as the video is timeless

[SuperTiredofitall]

i listened endelssly to this song way back when..as to the whole album..and up to date not one female artist has come up with anything that would be able to move this cut diamond from nr 1 spot of all time best piece of awesome female music ever made
