Mr Mark King you are a Slap Bass god and one of the reasons i started playing the bass back in the early 80's :-)

[MsLauralashes]

Love it! ;-D

[ancientraver19881989]

As someone said the days of wedge haircuts, baggy jeans, white socks and maybe a funk sunstrip in your motor.

[SonofaBeach2]

The first thirty seconds of this clip were a total waste of time... why such crappy intros anyway? Song is awesome anyway:-)

[eddievhfan1984]

@SonofaBeach2 Must've been ripped directly from tape intended for broadcast, that's why the count-in timer.

[boilingwater2006]

Ashes to Ashes :)



[jrowland67]

There was a r&B version of this with another lead sing and Mark King was singing the hook. I think it was a remake or remix. If anyone know this can you let me know.

[peanuts507]

[vibravibra]

Ugh Mike Lindup is so cute.

[paulsee2]

[BRUTALGn5]

This reminds me of walking round the seafront with this tune blasting out on the ghetto blaster that were all the rage at the time, top tune

[mjbmedia]

[mhunt38]

Their music has a good beat. Makes you want to get up and dance.

[mjll03]

[vitorro1970]

Que autenticos-Buen concierto el de Bcn hace ya unos años.

[JACKANDJAY10]

loved it at the time,just sounds like a heap of shit now though lol..love all their other tunes !

[Sleepyhead84]

@JACKANDJAY10 Why would you say that? I think it sounds great!

[JACKANDJAY10]

@Sleepyhead84 just think their other tunes like something about you,leaving me now,the chinese way are so much better !.My opinion was a bit strong and thanks for your polite view.So many on here have their view and thats it !

[thunderboba]

I only love this because it was on Ashes to Ashes<3

[Biggy001]

30 seconds of bullcrap at the start

[rystaman10]

midlands music festival 2day had them on. they were awesome !! and i'm only 14. i have liked them for YEARS

[thegibZy]

wow, 10 years ago i heard this song, when i was only 8, now at 18 and i found it again.......so fucking awsum

[TheBMW320cabrio]

They are so young here ... times passes for everybody damn

[romeropablo]

Hrea the bass and drum. It's a funky reggae!

[NismoTyler]

damn SUPER old school :D

[rockchick1965]

My fave Level 42 track - best played very loudly on your car stereo with the windows down lol. Just booked tickets to see them next year - 20 years after I first saw them in concert...! Mark King is god of the bass.....

[funkman70]

Brit Funk Baby! Serious Groove.

[MaxxRevenge]

phil gould is amazing!

[lucyswfc]

He is a legend!! How can you say he is weird!!

[pippaball1]

i fink its mikes granny helping him on keyboards from behind....funky old granny go 4 it girl!!!

[essertpitay]

The funkiest tune ever...so cool, so chilled out...and there is a girl at the back making eyes at me...

[blondie1159]

with her hair long and black is a sight to see

[loobycliff]

@essertpitay I think the girl at the back making eyes at you is a fantasy. It certailny was for me. I always hoped there was that girl buty I bascialy ended up going home alone.

[Bjorkadmirer]

@essertpitay I totally agree and that Mike keyboard player is so brilliant in EVERY way:D What a groovy song!!!! I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are so different and have like an urban like sound which is AWESOME when mixed with rock and roll!!!!

[pippaball1]

mark king is just smooth as u like in this vid

[Nza420]

Too bad they are communists! XD

[Nza420]

Screech is rockin' those keyboards!

[marehtseira]

@Nza420 yep, if Screech were bi-racial and British: not the best comparison ever

[Nza420]

@marehtseira where's your sense of imagination?

[marehtseira]

@Nza420 it's in this place that can think of a better comparison for Mike Lindup: I think I like Haddaway (What Is Love singer)

that would even be more apt than Screech (they both have curly hair, that's about the only thing that's similar)

[Nza420]

@marehtseira Really, you have ZERO imagination. I feel sorry for you, friend. A better comparison would be to John Oates of "Hall and Oates" fame.. Get your race chip off your shoulder, sir.

[marehtseira]

@Nza420 really? I know it's better than Screech; you should have used Oates (or Haddaway) when you first posted; it's a helluva lot better than Screech, lol

[cidaliacastro]

I miss the Gould brothers! Where are they? :( Loved the original four of them together... The dream team of Level 42

[cidaliacastro]

Mark King and Mike Lindup rule!! =D

[eddiefreddie39]

Mark King rules !!!

[aleaustrale]

La musica splendida ... il video... ma chi erano, i teletubbies?

[therealsoulproduct]

My favorite Level 42 track. Too damn funky!

[geesgeesmad]

one of the best level 42 records

[schuur451]

Obama's probably a better dancer though :).

[lornafan1]

now this is a polydor classic, always loved the label design. nice to see it again! more classics please.

[sunnyozz]

could be obama's younger self lol

[FOUR3REDLIGHTS]

Barack Obama can sing  wowowowowo

[p0m1nat0r]

No dumbass, it's Mike Lundup lol.

[erikthawotl]

it's called a joke.

[p0m1nat0r]

I am aware of that...

[illfatedmilkcarton]

One of the best Level 42 songs. Mike Lindup should have had more lead vocals on their hits. :)

[micht61]

perfect de micth

[giannik90]

dio è un maiale

[4difference]

really polydor, this video is already posted. i do have a polydor album
