Dean Friedman, Lucky stars

[strongangelstar]

Forever great music!

[maidbloke]

Gorgeous duet, an old favourite of mine. :)

[scotcheggs]

Does anyone know who the girl singing is???

[papayankee69]

@scotcheggs Denise Marsa :)

[scotcheggs]

@papayankee69

Thanx papayankee. I'm off to google her!!

[BryologistBrian]

I love Dean Friedman, but this song is dreadful. Addictive, but dreadful.

[SuperJmo666]

A REALLY GOOD SONG

[trampandlady1]

Saw this amazingly talented man last night - performing in Stratford on Avon. I've seen him almost every time he visits England, and it still amazes me how his voice has not altered over these 32yrs since he had this hit. Rock on - a real gent too x

[chezzeeX]

He's goodlooking man don't you think?

[NornyG]

Amazing! Its over 30 years and I'm still word-perfect on this one! If only it was so easy to remember where I put my glasses....

[beckymeek1]

As part of Dean Friedman's UK tour he will be appearing in Blackpool. For details google bigoneproductions...oh by the the way top song this one :)

[ruddieish]

Oh dear....

[MrLail]

please please please can someone upload, " the lakelands" it was a b side from the single i didnt mean to make you cry , and was also on the album "Green velvet from 1984, ive searched and searched , i still have the casette but would lvoe for it to be immortalised on youtube

[Lowerthetone1]

It's not so much the song as the time in my life it recalls. Nostalgia is the breath of life to so much undeserving rubbish. Choose any decade.

[crimsonabsinthe]

You can thank your lucky stars that there's AN OFF BUTTON ON THE RADIO !!! I HATE THIS RECORD.

Half of this record featured Denise Marsa but Friedman refused to have her credited. What a turd !

[susan1963100]

im glad you didn't go through with it

[susan1963100]

im glad you didnt go through with it

[susan1963100]

[zedster911]

[nadeliizziiaa]

The first days I was in London...the first days I was in love :))

[zadadka]

Even after 40 odd years, it still makes me cry.

[llandudnojoe]

[sheenalett]

[disharone]

Oh wow! What 70's memories.Isn't Denise Marsa lovely singing with Dean?

[shitbollocks]

Great song & it reminds me of my Port Tennant years growing up!!...Great tune!!

[carbondata1]

was on the way to solicitors to get a divorce from my wife - this came on the radio and I couldn't go through with it

[Xirqon]

you're a fucking absolute idiot, you should have divorced that bitch, i was outside subway one day and it came on and i couldn't believe a song this bad existed.

[thenutsmum]

Xirqon, dont judge other peoples decisions. You dont know the situation so dont call carbondata1's wife a bitch okay? For all you know carbondata1 might have been having an affair or whatever. Keep your opinion to yourself and if you dont like the song, dont listen to it.

[doh1959]

pmsl

[EventIndustry]

Did the marriage last??????

[zenmachinefilms]

@carbondata1 - Are you still married to her?

[1999straker]

@carbondata1 thats so nice ..are you still with each other ??

[1ladyline]

Ladyline >>>>> Great stuff. Right decision

[johnbarry1965]

@carbondata1 I would have drove faster to the solicitors then into a brick wall!!!

[srbmt5]

@carbondata1

That is sooo great! are you still together?

[basemassey]

[Killie03]

Check out the video to this gem by twobobtv. Hilarious! Thanks for posting.

[bigtw1963]

must admit yepp its brilliant

[isafella1]

who cares mate , sold millions thats all that counts, one of the great alternative pop/rock songs ever.

[daveyjarvis365]

Reminds me of the late70s when I was a boy and hearing it on the radio all the time.

I love alternative rock/pop but this song really just does me in!

Love it!

[IainHoskins]

@daveyjarvis365  - yep me too,,, takes me back to a place when I was a kid..

[anatheimp]

possibly the worst song I have ever, ever heard.

[k8yrokz]

SO TRUE

[paduapete1]

Even though the song is about him cheating on her, the song still has that something in that she forgives him. True love or desperation? (or does she chop it off when he is asleep).

[samuraimars]

i love this song, thanks for posting it. *bows*

[KenfromDublin]

It is UTTERLY hideous, easily the corniest, chessiest and most nerdy song of all time.

[ClanRooster]

I see this song as profoundly wonderful duet of two poets in crisis. Sung, written, and shared - with...

...with much love, by a beautiful person

Namely: Dean Friedman

Also listen to 'Diary' by Friedman for more fabulous introspective on the life and songs of a poet.

[k8yrokz]

are you joking? this is some of the worst songwriting in history! it's hilariously bad

[ClanRooster]

whatever floats you boat eh ;-)

I'll read through the lyrics and look for the hilarious part

[k8yrokz]

for a start just try

"did you see lisa?"

"yes i saw lisa"

wtf?????

[ClanRooster]

Okay - it's not Shakespeare or Greek Tragedy - lol

After watching the eloquent videos in your own channel I think I will pass on commenting further as I got scared off by 'for a start'

;-)

WTF indeed

are you licensed to troll at these depths BTW ? ;-)

[juleslious]

Thanks for this timeless classic dean

[DevilDave59]

Will definitely check out the tour, as long as you sing Lydia.

[DeanFriedman]

Hey Folks,

I'll be doing a 40 city UK/Ireland Tour July thru Oct.

Check deanfriedman site for tour-dates and tix.

Enjoy the music,

Deano

[bjandmatt]

seen you in civic wton see you again big fan

[simonlee1961]

I really wanted to see you in Paignton at my local theatre on 12th July but they say it is going to be cancelled as only 6 tickets have been sold. I saw you in Swindon about 12 years ago and you were superb, can't understand the lack of suport, but best of luck with the tour.

[69flamez69]

I listened to you on radio bbc2 th other day it was great. loved the show!

[2pikeman]

great to see you again after all these years,great to see that the years have been very kind to you as you look great

[GulliverCody]

1st tym I heard this song I Luv it....

[rossieden]

I remember getting up for work at 530am, having a cup of tea, smoking an Embassy Regal and just loving to listen to this guy on the radio! That was over thiry years ago, and he still rocks! Best regards to you Dean.

[CarlHalling]

Once I'd have turned my nose up at this (musical snobbery); now I love it a lot (softening from old age)...what a beautiful song.

[143karenc]

AC X ... 5yrs has pass.. Still in my heart everyday, and in my dreams. Yes I still love you.... Still wondering why :'( x 831 always x KC X

[barracuda93]

This is one of my all time favourite songs...takes me right back to a place ..a time and someone very special..she knows who she is...still love ya x

[Tinklou86]

LOL I used to listen to this when I was playing Sims 2 on PS2......

I've got it on one of them "Love is..." CD's

[minkeekat]

Sometimes songs just stand the test of time and this is one of the greatest.

[depoty]

Simply a great song, makes me sad dunno why just does.

[ang288]

For Caroline Sara. Every single day, after all this time, still miss you and love as much as ever. If only I'd been smarter.

[royayersrules]

BOLLOX

[jonkellismaxsteel]

God this brings back memories. Great song, I can listen to this over and over again.

[pheatetr]

I lived in England at this time and loved this song! It was a top 10 on Radio One. England has a lot of great pop hits you don't hear anywhere else. I miss them. Thanks for posting this!

[cooperman2112]

Try Mix 94.5 out of Perth Australia. Nothing but golden oldies!!!!

[dontlookanthea]

Bllooooooaaaargggh! I recall this with horror from 1978 - it was always being played on my parents radio, ie Radio 2 - ugh! The bloke who sings it looks like an unemployable 70's porn star and his whining/whingeing singing style is nauseating - just the sort of man you want to punch very hard in the face.

[partcopaul012]

Great song..Why dont they make music like this anymore!!!

[MrSteveUtah]

Because they will not let me

[Halboy10]

Cool song, takes me back when I was young.

Hold on! I am still young.....only 42!

[anniebinz140365]

great song

[muddy310]

It might be a little "corny", but this is a really great song. Great memories as well.

[wondermash]

This is one of those corny songs that sticks in you head. I remember going to Dublin to watch an Ireland rugby match in 1978. This song was big at the time. I remember being in The Students Union Bar Trinity college with a girl called Lisa then the lights went out lol . Thanks for the memory.

[jarama77]

always loved this song

[tinylittlebear]

having said that, poor old albertpig below got a thumbs down off someone. who could possibly object to what he said?

by the way everyone, THIS SONG IS FUCKING SHIT! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?

[albertpig]

love this song, must play it 10 times a week, even got my daughter playing it

[JimiRayYng]

memories of being a kid

[tinylittlebear]

i heard a lovely rumour that bette midler had a tumour so gleefully i went to tell my friends. but they said it was a lie and she wasn't going to die and by the way, have we got news for you? they told me that the man i had always known as dad hadn't met my mum when i was born. and they reckon that i am, but i hope to god i'm not the bastard son of dean friedman.

[kaytothei]

Hahahaha - another HMHB fan I see

[tinylittlebear]

thanks. have you seen i've had three thumbs down?

can you imagine people being so callous as to mock my attempts to catch a glimpse of the man who might be my father?

well they can thank their lucky stars that they're not the bastard sons of dean friedman.

[uckyoumo]

I remember this tune from 78,I was in love with my girl at the time,I was the dumbest person about..We got married 12 months after,sadly it only lasted 5 years,but got a lovely Daughter out of it and in April gonna be a Grandad..All thanks to lucky stars!!

[SarahSanDiego]

"I may not be all that bright,

but I know how to hold you tight."

Those lines remind me of my boyfriend. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knows how to cuddle me and make me feel happy and warm on the inside. :)

I love him so much. <3

[anniebinz140365]

Great Song broke the mould of contempoary style music in 1978

[stevemurph1]

Bless you snickypoo. Maybe I should dance with you.

[stevemurph1]

In 1978 I danced for the first time with the only love of my life who died of cancer two years ago.And this was the song. How I ache for one more dance with Marie. I still love you angel.

[snickypoo]

Stevemurph1, Im very sorry for your loss,R.I.P Marie xx

[darebinroad]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that maybe, just maybe 135026 is not particularly impressed.

[LAKESIDE2111]

i think this song did so much for me some 30 years a go.And i'am so happy it did

[135026]

the most vomit inducing twee fucking shit this has violated my very soul with it's shocking awfulness

[julesgreaves]

this is a nice song and well sung.

[chandlerbingbong]

I have the CD at 1:15. Even after about 20 years it's still at the top of the cd rack.

[rebelrebz1990]

My Grandad says this is possibily the greatest song ever written.

[hilly1690]

he's not a bad judge

[vicdeakin]

Mentally, I have this filed with Moon and New York City. I know it's crazy, but it's true.

sheer class
