I knew from Wikipedia that the album and single versions of this song were different, but...woah, they're VERY different. A haunting protest song becomes arguably their most infectious, poppy single pre-Tubthumper? I would never have expected it to work, but this works so so well, I may even prefer this version. This band's ability to marry a strong message with such catchy, well-crafted music is quite laudable.
The message is clear. If you ever encouter a homosexual, sympathise. He is still human. Homosexuals should be treated exactly the same as everyone else.
One of my favorite songs by this group is tubthumper, and my favorite verse, "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down"
Things have improved for homos a lot in England since this video, with state sanction of 'gay' 'marriages' etc. Not so in many other countries, particularly those of the muslim persuasion.
New York State just signed into law today 6-25-2011 the Gay Marriage Act permitting Gays to marry. Never could understand homophobia meself. I'm not gay but what is there to be afraid of...maybe a little man love eh?
saw them at cambridge folk festival last year, they changed " the worst disease" to "the worstest hate" (grammatically incorrect, but they can do what they like cause they are awesome)
@crisdean1 loulou - was at that gig at the Venue too!!! Great gig - totally mayhem. Went to half-man half-biscuit gig the other day. Had hard core fans pogoing. Reminded me of the Chumba gig at Venue -except at Venue gig - it was much larger and felt Chumba gig was about to get out of control; from what I remember Chumbas even had probs to make sure it didn't descend into total "Anarchy". But maybe my memories of it have got confused over time :-)
was commenting here - but usual crap with p.c - it crashed! See Phil said will give album it is from - have got it somewhere - but can't remember which one - will try to look. Yep - it was all around those awful days of clause 28 on one side and HIV hitting the gay community on the other side - those were dark days (any red neck bigotted prat wanting to make idiotic homophobic comments here - go ahead; read others and you all sound so iditotic and brain dead - hardly have us shaking at your
As the video shows, we need to sympathise with people with this condition, not condemn them. Still in many parts of the world, especially muslim countries, 'gay' people are treated dreadfully for something they cannot help. Thankfully we help them a lot in this country.
(linked to m other post underneath) I mean, wheres the oppression? The division? The fears of both sides. The fight, the war the race? All of it? Any of it? You cant change worlds or break backs by sulking people. Get out there and fuck things up!!!!!!!!!
Wow. I thought it was just a song but then I read some comments underneath and realised its a fist fight. Theres dumbassess on both sides so who cares? My thing is, I remember when this track came out, and the time it came out in so, how come a track with the message this is bringing managed to get such a BAD video? What the hell as walking sadly through fields and back streets in slow mo black and white got to do with anything? Surely the message deserved more visual attention then displayed?
If you look a gay man in the eyes you will get deadly brain aids and die if a gay man touches you you will grow a second head and a ballsack behind your ear and than get nose cancer and die again
@drdttdtrestds What happens if a bisexual man touches you? I need to know so that i can warn people before I shake hands with them, you see, I think accidentally giving them brain AIDS might give a bad first impression X)
@Glambabies Oh god quickly!Before its too late!You must find a rare creature known as a "wommanz" and beat the shit out of her untill she is unconcious, now stuff your cock in her!If she takes it to court as rape, tell them you did it for the lulz
and why should a phobia be illegal? phobias are not illegal, its like saying phobia of spiders should be illegal. its just a "thought'' or "opinion" and thoughts or opinions can't be illegal. since u have the right to be gay, why shouldn't have homophobes the right to be homophobes too? we wanna make it a "free country" for everyone after all.
sometimes i'd rather be black than gay, cause being black, you don't have to tell your mother, people won't tell you: you don't like one or make dirty, unrequested guesses about what you like in bed...
And what DO you like in bed, exactly? There seems to be a perception that homosexuals are all into anal sex (or, if you're against gay people, grotty, perverse anal sex), something that I find to be laughably unlikely...
@SirBroadsword yeeaaah i love old-school anal sex...but i'm into some pretty weird shit too, and i dislike people to guess what i like or try to picture my ''sex face''
If i had one music related wish it would be that Chumbawamba were remembered as a band that actually wrote songs that mean something... not just the band that sang that i get knocked down song..

Of course - if you get the album - you can copy it over and put it into mp3 - and am sure you'll be able to get the album 2nd hand or cheap of amazon etc. Is a great song - it summed up all the homophobia we had in the U.K at the time; clause 28, AIDs hit London - and the whole homophobic attitude it all brought up - so the Chumbas addresseing all that

The reason homophobic people are the way they are, is that they are so worried they are going to get something up their arse, and will have nothing left to talk out of...!
I will break any man's neck stupid enough to fuck with me or my gay lover.
I already messed one black dude up for spitting on me and shouting homophobic sexual slurs, smashed his face into a bloody mess.
I may be gay, but don't call me "Flaming Faggot" for sake of insulting me, that's like me calling him a "Dirty Nigger," its not what all black people are.
Just because I enjoy discreet anal sex in public men's toilets does not give anyone the right to assault me for it?!
i just don't understand what problems ppl are having with gays? srsly, just let them be theirselves, it doesn't have to interest you what other ppl do in their bedroom ;)
Hell you even have tons of supporters in the media, news, government, etc. And yet your still crying like a baby. What else do you want? Lol you act like a agressive feminist retard! :P this is the net and yall shouldnt be taking it seriously
ok honestly, when you open up the news. do you always see news about homophobic crimes being done every single day? honestly. do you always see people doing that every SINGLE day? of course not. it rarely happens now because the government got their back and this is the year 2010 not the year 1940's or something lol. dont think negatively now. your confusing, you call me sensitive? how was i sensitive? im not like you typing in rage. i know your hurt. take a chill pill lol!
@andrtaker ...That was what I was saying about what you thought. Okay, so you're not so bright. When I "open up" the news, I don't see racist people killing someone of a different color, it doesn't mean it rarely happens. It happens more than you know, it just doesn't make national news. And before your small mind thinks this, I am not saying you are racist, just discriminative.
@asubjectiveopinion Atleast there's a few good comments. All i can say to the rest is if you don't like it why waste your time typin. Go up talk the bands you do .like and hope there isn't some ignorant prick just waitin to bust you down. Freedom of speech i agree with but hell why waste your time on meaningless banter tryin to just cause shit with people that should be united against a cause not each other!!
I've never read they are, but there are so many in the band, so maybe one or 2 might be at least bi, who knows. Either way, they're fighting the good cause.
Repressed much? I've only seen this much loathing coming out of one of the biggest closeted people I know. So...I'm guessing you're not too in touch with your sexuality.
@zoll71 What's wrong about it is that it's bullshit. People are people, wherever they're from. I know what Sharia says about homosexuality. It's the same thing all religions say about it. Which is proof that racism is bullshit, and people are all the same.
There's sure as hell no assaults on gays coming from he extreme left. I don't know who does the most violence toward gays, so I'm not denying anything. I don't think you know either. The fact you're racist and think it's immigrants makes me kind of doubt you. Call me crazy.
@zoll71 White nationalistic British groups like the National Front (which you sound like a good candidate for membership in) have shown plenty of aggression against gays.
@zoll71 "Plz" explain YOUR comment. What do you mean when you ask "which group commtis violence towards homos"? Are you trying to say there's no such thing as violence against gays? You can't possibly be that ridiculous. Many countries all over the world execute people for being gay, and the rest of them have individuals who bash or kill gays.
well i don't hate but hetrosexual homophobes find gay and lesbian(which is really hot) sex impulsive. more that i know i never saw a gay/lesbian person say straight sex is wrong. im lesbian and proud!!! :)
As a "straight" male I've never understood why some people feel threatened by gays, could it be they have doubts about their own sexuality but lack the courage to face up to it, homophobia is on a par with racism, ugly and wrong.
I was workin' at the childrens library in Denver years ago.There was a gay pride fest going on nearby.I saw to guys holding hands that were huge guys with matching outfits.I thought to myself,these guys probably never get fucked with! I dont understand homophobia.If you like guys,go be with one for fuck sake! And bullshit religion is no excuse!
No illness, disability or condition of any sort ever, ever, justifies a physical attack. People who do so must be subject to exactly the same punishment as any other violent person.
Bi and proud, and so far one of the lucky few who hasn't got attacked. But i know someone who was almost killed walking home for being transgender. Fuck homophobia. people are people are people are people.
That sucks. It's disgraceful that homophobia exists in the U.K. It's understandable in a the cesspits of Central Africa, but not in a modern, developed place like the U.K.
Great song; I was bashed by a neo-Nazi skinhead my third year in college as I was walking home (a few blocks) from the movie theatre in downtown Creston, IA. I'm probably lucky to be alive, considering his friends may have been nearby.
Homos are not there to be dissed. They can't help being the way they are. We should have sympathy for them. I have a homo friend and in every other way he's perfectly normal.
"every other way he's perfectly normal"?? fuck...some friend you are! What the hell is 'normal'? Guys who beat their wives(well just a little when she asks for it eh) - that's pretty normal. No one can help being gay - but ignorance is something you can help by opening your mind, closing your mouth and learning.
Perhaps a better to phrase what you call 'normal' is that is it 'usual'. It avoids saying something is 'abnormal' and therefore it is 'unusual' - completely different connotation
Obviously you did. Much like people who have supported equal rights for gays but stop when it comes to marriage - yeah...real friends they are. It wasn't a judgment about your friendships but a judgment about you! And I do know something about you remember? You stated it in your blurb about 'every other way he's perfectly normal'- that reveals a lot about you.. If you're what normal is - no thanks.
Gee - what do you think most gay people are like around homophobes? "Tolerance" is an ugly world
Tolerance is an ugly word? So by showing tolerance I'm being ugly? Strange concept. So what's intolerance, hate and bigotry in your world? The risk you're taking (and yes, I have come across the strident type before) is that by your attitude you alienate people who declare themselves to be on your side. Fat chance of winning over anyone who's against you!
Amateur psychologist....much like you are (every other way he's perfectly normal) except a better one. Why not ask your gay friends how they feel about your assessment of them as being almost normal? What an assessment! What a compliment!
I don't go for tolerance, but acceptance, even by those like you whom, at first glance, appear to be uneducable, but I live and hope it is possible.
Again....'every other way...perfectly normal'. With friends like you who needs enemies?
Yes...many 'declare' themselves to be on our side. But as Tommy Douglas said. "let's get it off the criminal code and put it where it belongs....a mental illness" (similar to almost 'normal'). Thanks but no thanks.
Again...ask your gay friends (if you actually have any) what they think of your assessment of them.
Thankfully my friends are the laid back, non-placard waving sort who don't nitpick at every supposedly 'non PC' word, but just get on with life, grateful for the concessions won over the past few decades in the West. You lot try living in a muslim country.
And yes, though they are homo, they don't make a big thing of it (as it were) but see their sexuality as just one part of their identity. They don't define themselves by it and nor do I. They're people to me, full stop.
If you throw a hissy fit at sympathisers, htf do you cope if someone calls you a poof, queer, faggot, bender, shirtlifter etc. Hopefully that's never happened to you. Htf would you cope with that?
'Uneducable'? Rofl. Fascist regimes delight in applying that epithet to anyone who disagrees with them lol.
oh, BLESS you, little homophobes... dear oh dear, you ARE getting in a state! Never mind dears, when you've finished with your tantrum wipe your eyes and realize you CAN be more mature. After all, the rest of us get along quite nicely without hatred. So look beyond your narrow morals and get over yourselves. Any kind of love is better than hate - by what skewed logic do you fail to realize this?
and yes, I will continue to patronize you if you act like a moron.
My friends and I joined the Gay-straight Alliance at our high school! *heroic pose* I was so proud of this school for having one. We are in Kansas after all.

And I'd like to remind you that most of who hate you aren't homophobic because phobic implies fear. We can and do hate without fear. I don't fear faggots, I just find it disgusting. I find it revolting that your sex life consists of putting your penis in another man's ass. I mean, do you really like shit that much? Is the thought of another man's shit hole really that appealing to you? Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?
Filthy faggots,we kill your kind here in South Africa.
I suggest you roll a big, fat blunt. Smoke it, and chill. If anal sex is so disgusting, why do so many hetros like banging their female counterparts up the ass? And stop assuming that I am a male. Most males are ignorant, cowardly scum.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Most heteros don't practice anal sex. Indeed of all the normal people I know (normal being hetero, not your abnormal sex life) only 1 person engages in anal sex and he's a pretty disgusting individual. Secondly, I like how your answer is to go do drugs. Gee, will taking drugs "alter my mind" enough to see that the filth you spew is good and true? If so I don't want anything to do with it. I don't mess with drugs of any kind. Finally I was speaking of generalities, not of you in particular.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I agree most males are cowards, but I disagree on the ignorant part. Instead I say "all" people male and female are equally ignorant. Of course you're sexist, and probably a racist too (like most fags I've spoken too on youtube) so you'll disagree, but it doesn't matter because you're gay, and therefore not human.
You do speak in general terms, so will I. You must be a gay hating, caucasian hating, angry black man who loves to play the victim role. How's that working for you so far?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The only victim is here is human society and morality, both of which your vile rear admiraling way drag through a mire of shit and seminal fluids. I don't hate white folks, asians, arabs, hispanics, my fellow blacks, native americans, indians or anyone else... but you filthy abberant ass bageling anal spelunking cocksmoking assbags.
Well I personally find what straight people do to be quite distasteful so I simply don't do it. If you don't like the idea of gay sex, DON'T DO IT! So unless you're harbouring secret desires for a bit of man-on-man action, it really doesn't affect you. Seriosly dude, if it ain't for you then don't spend so much time thinking about it. And if you can't do that, I suggest you get yourself a therapist to help you work out your issues.
Oh and as for your comment "we kill your kind here in South Africa"... surely as a black South African you'd realise what happens when people let prejudice and ignorance blind their judgment? There was a different "kind" of people mistreated in S.A. not so long ago. I really hate to compare homophobia to apartheid here, but maybe its something to think about.
that's the exact same thing they said about black people, that they weren't really human and thus deserved no rights. Luckily the lighter skinned people eventually came to their senses, now we're just waiting on people like you to catch up with the rest of us. : )
Is it better to put it in woman's ass then? why r u so obsessed with the idea? Do u desire it so badly that u have to write about it on utube? poor guy... out of the closet now!

I already messed one black dude up for spitting on me and shouting homophobic sexual slurs, smashed his face into a bloody mess.
I may be gay, but don't call me "Flaming Faggot" for sake of insulting me, that's like me calling him a "Dirty Nigger," its not what all black people are.
Just because I enjoy discreet anal sex in public men's toilets does not give anyone the right to assault me for it?!
Homophobes, FUCK OFF!!!

Nice choice.
If I were to spam everyone who subscribed to my channel, this is the video I would use to spam them with.
While I don't appreciate spam from anyone, I see your intent and appreciate being included on the spam list that landed me on this!
Homophobia must be outlawed, its is the greatest threat in a queer's life, even in our so-called "modern society."
I choose NOT to be victimized by homophobic heterosexuals, but rather get tough and fight back, with extreme violence if necessary.

Homos are not there to be dissed. They can't help being the way they are. We should have sympathy for them. I have a homo friend and in every other way he's perfectly normal.
zxychesatz349 2 years ago
"every other way he's perfectly normal"?? fuck...some friend you are! What the hell is 'normal'? Guys who beat their wives(well just a little when she asks for it eh) - that's pretty normal. No one can help being gay - but ignorance is something you can help by opening your mind, closing your mouth and learning.
Perhaps a better to phrase what you call 'normal' is that is it 'usual'. It avoids saying something is 'abnormal' and therefore it is 'unusual' - completely different connotation
sennichi98 2 years ago
Blimey. Who rattled your cage? If you mouth off so rudely at someone who's sympathetic, wtf are you like with people who are anti-homo?
And wtf have wife beaters got to do with all this? I certainly didn't mention them.
And don't make judgements about the quality of my friendships when you know sweet FA about me.
zxychesatz349 2 years ago
Obviously you did. Much like people who have supported equal rights for gays but stop when it comes to marriage - yeah...real friends they are. It wasn't a judgment about your friendships but a judgment about you! And I do know something about you remember? You stated it in your blurb about 'every other way he's perfectly normal'- that reveals a lot about you.. If you're what normal is - no thanks.
Gee - what do you think most gay people are like around homophobes? "Tolerance" is an ugly world
sennichi98 2 years ago
What are you, an amateur psychologist?
Tolerance is an ugly word? So by showing tolerance I'm being ugly? Strange concept. So what's intolerance, hate and bigotry in your world? The risk you're taking (and yes, I have come across the strident type before) is that by your attitude you alienate people who declare themselves to be on your side. Fat chance of winning over anyone who's against you!
zxychesatz349 2 years ago
Amateur psychologist....much like you are (every other way he's perfectly normal) except a better one. Why not ask your gay friends how they feel about your assessment of them as being almost normal? What an assessment! What a compliment!
I don't go for tolerance, but acceptance, even by those like you whom, at first glance, appear to be uneducable, but I live and hope it is possible.
Again....'every other way...perfectly normal'. With friends like you who needs enemies?
sennichi98 2 years ago
Yes...many 'declare' themselves to be on our side. But as Tommy Douglas said. "let's get it off the criminal code and put it where it belongs....a mental illness" (similar to almost 'normal'). Thanks but no thanks.
Again...ask your gay friends (if you actually have any) what they think of your assessment of them.
sennichi98 2 years ago
Thankfully my friends are the laid back, non-placard waving sort who don't nitpick at every supposedly 'non PC' word, but just get on with life, grateful for the concessions won over the past few decades in the West. You lot try living in a muslim country.
And yes, though they are homo, they don't make a big thing of it (as it were) but see their sexuality as just one part of their identity. They don't define themselves by it and nor do I. They're people to me, full stop.
zxychesatz349 2 years ago
If you throw a hissy fit at sympathisers, htf do you cope if someone calls you a poof, queer, faggot, bender, shirtlifter etc. Hopefully that's never happened to you. Htf would you cope with that?
'Uneducable'? Rofl. Fascist regimes delight in applying that epithet to anyone who disagrees with them lol.
zxychesatz349 2 years ago
oh, BLESS you, little homophobes... dear oh dear, you ARE getting in a state! Never mind dears, when you've finished with your tantrum wipe your eyes and realize you CAN be more mature. After all, the rest of us get along quite nicely without hatred. So look beyond your narrow morals and get over yourselves. Any kind of love is better than hate - by what skewed logic do you fail to realize this?

And I'd like to remind you that most of who hate you aren't homophobic because phobic implies fear. We can and do hate without fear. I don't fear faggots, I just find it disgusting. I find it revolting that your sex life consists of putting your penis in another man's ass. I mean, do you really like shit that much? Is the thought of another man's shit hole really that appealing to you? Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?

Most heteros don't practice anal sex. Indeed of all the normal people I know (normal being hetero, not your abnormal sex life) only 1 person engages in anal sex and he's a pretty disgusting individual. Secondly, I like how your answer is to go do drugs. Gee, will taking drugs "alter my mind" enough to see that the filth you spew is good and true? If so I don't want anything to do with it. I don't mess with drugs of any kind. Finally I was speaking of generalities, not of you in particular.

I agree most males are cowards, but I disagree on the ignorant part. Instead I say "all" people male and female are equally ignorant.

Well I personally find what straight people do to be quite distasteful so I simply don't do it. If you don't like the idea of gay sex, DON'T DO IT! So unless you're harbouring secret desires for a bit of man-on-man action, it really doesn't affect you. Seriosly dude, if it ain't for you then don't spend so much time thinking about it. And if you can't do that, I suggest you get yourself a therapist to help you work out your issues.
