The Human League - The Lebanon

[shaharmos]

עכשיו לבנון שייכת אל איראן ואל חיזבאללה .

ככה שאם אתם נוצרים  אתם יכולים לשכוח מכמה לילות ביירות

[zeitgeistitaly]

one of my best songs ever

[Trusten1984]

Synthesizer music on full power, Human League RULEZ !

[ocn14s]

Human League did some great songs - Susan Sulley is an absolute BABE

[MrFaluco]

don´t care about politics, just music, great music..groove

[TheBobski1972]

i love BOCKA

[tsuchinokotsutti]

wild Oakey is good! Bold hair Oakey is good too.

[zagorskipastuh]

...when the soldiers have run, from the Lebanon. Le Bon, Le Bon, from the Lebanon, Le bon, Le Bon...



[khanmofo]

god bless lebanon

[MrPavlos68]

[steeplepossum39]

Great song and the singer is cute

[attiyeh422]

ana libnaanee :)

[NeuroParadise]

[ladypammie]

love it ! the lead vocal singer , he is so cute

[tyltat2020]

Brunette girl is so pretty.

[tyltat2020]

Great 80s song. This is in my top 100 list.

[shaharmos]

if this song talk about

POLITICS and MIDDLE EAST

so get lost .

BRITISH ANTI SEMITIC

[sstylianou]

For feck sake enough of the political comments and enjoy this song as this tune is kick ass!

[TsugaruClan]

@sstylianou Don't discuss politics when listening to a political song? You might want to go listen to shallow pop songs about teen love or something. Why do you think the song is called "The Lebanon"? Maybe you should listen to the lyrics. It's not about going to "The Lebanon" for a picnic.

[AlizarineTV]

timeless!

[AnimeShineChihiro]

This song has been criticized so much! Not in a good way... personally, I love the song. Can't stop singing it! I don't care what anyone thinks about it. It's great.

[retroharvey65]

I always loved this song! It's political meaning was not lost in the decade, but the response to it might have. It holds so many truths even today... They don't really have songs like this anymore.

[patriciovasquezcalle]

This song kills me.... Is a very good song with excelent rhythmic guitar riffs....

[brisromance]

the lebanon!



[CasadelMartin]

just saw them at the hollywood bowl!! GREAT SHOW! 

[kolokidi]

front row 1987 and the ladies were blowing kisses at me!!!!

[milfman069]

@kolokidi

no they wernt

[Viragecint]

Great song great era and it has political relevance even now!

[Alien0one]

43 dislikes by mossad...

[barkingbasher]

@Alien0one Yeah Yeah we all know how much your islamist friends love western music.

[Alien0one]

@barkingbasher maybe you don't fit well with humour and irony...

[JDEIN699]

spot on xoxxobob...this song transcends generations, way ahead of its time!

[katinasvenska]

sad

[mullio]

Still a fantastic track. Very political and relevant even today.

[sillybearwagon]

Replace "The Lebanon" with almost anywhere in North Africa or the Middle East and it is still relevant.

Right wingers are for limited government and individual freedom. Explain how Hitler was for that?

[Grismar]

Sing along with this, but replace "The Lebanon" with "Afghanistan" and you'll be amazed how current it is... (Iraq, Libya, they all work, but Afghanistan happens to have the right number of syllables)

[angloindian1]

Brill!



[gram2358]

Love this song. Used to smoke the best blow [red leb, laughing gear], but due to all the shit in the middle east it is no more, sigh!

[Edlprnaa]

@gram2358

Everything is still here =)

Mellow red golden sparkles in the sun ... LoL



[ronaldvanderkleij]

Better dan good. Yhe human leaque iare romantics off all time.Dont forget that babies.

[stig9999]

lol if only i could spell meant hitler of course

[rob4b]

@stig9999 that's how naive people ae poltically in the 1930's the left started disowning anything that wasn't pure socalism, they intevented a term call right wing, this is where left wing principles went to far this way they could neutralise anything that was so call socalist thus disowning it. left and right is a comuunist political invention. hilter came from the same left wing stance so did mussolini. nature socialism leads to facism just like starlin mugarbe, kim youg ill and hilter

[SuperMorningstar1]

@rob4b I hate these twats who think just because Hitler was a National Socialist he was somehow left wing. Anybody who would rather see his whole country and people destroyed AND THEN blow his brains out is just a fucking psycho. And yes all them so called socialists like mugabe, Mussolini Et al are nuts, but they aint socialists.

[rob4b]

@SuperMorningstar1 you just proved my point disowning anything with socialist origins. classic attack and deny theory, you can read that theory in the communist handbook on dealing with opposition to the socialist republic.

[SuperMorningstar1]

@rob4b Always hated that song anyway

[MrSKINFLICK]

@benejezerite1:

Thanks ! 

[rob4b]

ps apolgies to people who came to watch hl video

[MrSKINFLICK]

@benejezerite1:

What the fuck should WE real Human League fans care what other hypocrites think about them or how they rate their songs?

What a silly business is that ?

Sometimes I´m also not in the mood to consider listening to them all of the time, but that is even something the League would not demand + it´s natural.

Nevertheless they were (among some other English + German bands) so seminal+important that i would be a neglecting fool to deny their importance + influence.

[london1280]

Joanne catherall what a BABE she is

[robslotboom]

When in the Dutch army, this song convinced me to NOT go to the Lebanon. Thanks HL

[autodafeh242]

I was also in favorite with the brunette....i liike the blond girl as well but the browny is just more better looking....

[lakota253]

>Being Boiled>the Lebanon and Don't You Want Me - in that order, before tHL went poppy cock on us ... lol

[risteard01]

@lakota253 this is a pop record though.....

[RaffJaxon]

I always had the hots for the brunette...is that wrong? ;)

[Vortex0081]

Классно!!! Сейчас нет таких классных групп!!!

[nayanraheja]

Love human league

[kirkwallboy]

The lyrics are bleak. God knows why they did it. Pop Candy with a harsh interior.

[DeeAndDee]

@benejezerite1 I couldn't agree more. It reminds me of Peter, Paul and Mary's song "El Salvidor". It may now be in a new place, but the same things are happening. Your reference to Sunday Bloody Sunday is right on. Personally, this song moves me deeply. But its not for everyone.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@DeeAndDee: I always loved the Human League for this politically "incorrect" classic. Many Arabs living in Germany think the same - i know some of them + they are often watching Al Djazeera for information about the revolution in their home countries. The younger ones have even mostly accepted the German state citizenship + are an accepted + well respected part of modern Germany and often speak brilliiant German. I am very glad that sinister right-wing populists have no chance in our country !

[rob4b]

@MrSKINFLICK left wing poltics leads to facism, what was hilter? not fogetting stalin, castro, mugabe, kim jong ill, the khmer rouge, just to mention a few.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@rob4b:You´re a confused person concerning terms:Who said that Hitler,Stalin,Khmer rouge or Kim Young ILL ever had ANYTHING with the diligent,quiet+partly very powerful life-easing biz of social democrats or democratic socialists?

Who influenced your canting hypocrite issues, your bigoted parents or the"friends"around you?

And what had your"comment"to do here anyway?

I clearly say NO to Islam abused by totalitarian leaders.

"Christianity"had to wait till Martin Luther or French revolution.

[rob4b]

@MrSKINFLICK shut the fuck up you idiot this is a human league video, buy the way you ar the idiot and an ignorant knuck dragging fuckhead who thinks communism is the way. Hitler,Stalin,Khmer rouge or Kim Young all come from the branch of your thinking to totalitarianism people like yourself are the bigots becuase you think that anyone who doesn't think like you is a bigot. go home a play with you big totalitarian vibrator or if you want you can suck my big black dick. go get educated

[stig9999]

@rob4b hilter was ultra right wing

[thistleplace999]

The lyrics were an attempt to make a political statement on the Lebanese civil war which had been exacerbated by Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon of 1982.

[055697]

''THE LEBAAAANOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!­'' OMFG WHAT A CRAP SONG AND CRAP IDEA.

[vseae15o]

@055697 you like Justin Bieber

[055697]

@vseae15o

er, no!

[nasalflute]

i really dig these guys...reminiscing bigtime

[tinkerbellys]

they all look really good in this and they all know exactly how to act ;O

[TheNyGiantss]

was this song made for the country Lebanon?

[partiott5]

when we were young....we did and listened so many things. these days this kind of music is dead and gone......such a pity indeed 'cos there's nothing like this!!!!!!!

[xoxxobob]

this song still has political reverance even to this day!

[flugsven]

Had forgotten this pearl. Political 80´s disco.an almost unbelievable combination

[ABTE67]

A MODERN ENGLISH COPY

[newromantic888]

Great advitisement for England and the mulicultural attitudes we have. A band of Normans and then a true Celt or Irish as the leas singer. luv it.

[TheJaking87]

I think 1984 was the year Phil Oakey decided to go for the 'Rough around the edges' look,......I was otherwise used to seeing him with make-up!

[london1280]

saw these in 1982 at the hammersmith awsome

[lebanesebob]

:D 

[nomdeplume72]

Phil Oakey in a mullet....just doesn't work

[tyhghgfeewr]

yep joanne looks great in this vid but  hey she always does !!!!!!

[toonen23]

[aquamarine094]

[dakota0706]

@aquamarine094 Aye, Phil ain't bad either ;) x

[aquamarine094]

[dakota0706]

@aquamarine094 Happy campers all round then :) Great song too xxx

[vxy357]

@aquamarine094 Both ladies are eye candy. I myself, prefer the brunette.

[tom6lillie5]

omg look at joanne ....she should have been a porn star loool

[souljaryanboy]

I wonder whats the colour of their blood, anyone?

[auto2905]

[xxjade1019xx]

and who will have won?? no one--we have learned nothing

[AnnAAngel1564]

@xxjade1019xx

The us are winning the future haha

[zapkvr]

@xxjade1019xx Will the jews learn the lessons of Sabra and Shatila? No one, no one, was ever held to account for that mass murder. The buthcer Sharon was still alowed to retire and take his pension. He should have been tried as a war criminal. He was worse than Hitler. At least Adolf had the excuse he was crazy. Sharon knew EXACTLY what he was doing.

[SSTK1982]

@zapkvr I couldn't say It better. But I think that Fat children-murder is now dead. But like those Jews are running the media they know exactly how to distract people to make them forget.

[zapkvr]

@SSTK1982 I was simply observing he should have faced trial and prison. Death is no relief toall of his victims.

[zapkvr]

@SSTK1982 I was simply observing he should have faced trial and prison. Death is no relief to all of his victims.

[SSTK1982]

@zapkvr Well we all wanted It but "they" always can do whatever they want since the US Politics is infested with those parasites.

[tyhghgfeewr]

forgot about this one not any more though classic tune by the leauge !!!!! and a certain miss catherall looks amazing!!!!!!!

[Warthogfan]

Best song they ever did

[k3llz67]

1.42 swing ya handbag girl! lol

[shangrila68]

I've just been reminded why I fancied the ass off Phil Oakey!! Check out those sultry eyes. I'm not totally shallow though, check out that voice too!!  ;)

[kenny9601]

zionists-what the fuck are you lot talking about please get a life

[JoeCollins91]

absolutely love the human league. best. unbeatable. but if you like them you will love MIRRORS! bringing this sound into the 21stcentury...amazing! check them out guys, new album 'lights and offerings' coming out next month....woopwoop.

[adeleellie6]

I wouldn't blame the Jews I would blame the zionist/israelis. There were Jewish groups on demonstration I was on against the Israeli government and their treatment of the people of Gaza.

[sfeirbach]

PROUD TO BE LEBANESE

[adeleellie6]

Lebanon still going through the same crap 20 years later.

[zapkvr]

@adeleellie6 Well you can blame the Jews for that. Never forget Sabra and Shatila and the murderous jews who stood by and watched and did nothing. If there was a single act that undermined the purpose of the the so called Jewish state, this was it. They have forgotten nothing and learned less.

[therawkusfinda]

how did i become 42 so quick!

[bassmanjoe]

@therawkusfinda Yeah tell me about it, i hit 42 in june.

[killerdalek]

Ha! It's hard to believe that those two girls had a political thought to rub between them!  Phil Oakey, yes - he looks serious and full of thoughts; confused thoughts, though, especially when one listens the the embarrassing lyrics of 'Being Boiled'! The girls are like fish out of water on that stage. People do choose to idolise the weak! Nice tune though. It could have been a good song.

[RexEverythin]

There are alot of mullets in this video.

[MrRightFFM2]

@shaharmos

Real Jews don't settle to a land. Israel is a lie.

[shaharmos]

[shaharmos]

[deppsluv]

[shaharmos]

י'אנגלים אנטישמים מסריחים

[MrRightFFM2]

@shaharmos

I guess they are singing about the civil-war.

Nothing anti-semitic here, but I know you Zionists always shout "anti semitic" If your reputation (It's bad enough btw) is in danger.

[shaharmos]

@MrRightFFM2

? what do  you mean

[shaharmos]

@shaharmos

you are ENGLISH people

every place you taken in the world

you want to make there conflicts between the people you taken

so now the MUSLIMS will OCCUPIERS you

[franknwalters]

@shaharmos

come on man, what are these things you're writing ?

the conversations here should be about music and not about who god is going to destroy or not...

this is a great song, if you don't appreciate it or like it then you shouldn't be here...

stop throwing curses upon people , it's not right...

is your religion cool with what you are doing ?

[shaharmos]

@franknwalters

becouse i know that you like the arabs more then jews

and lebanon is our cruel enemy

[franknwalters]

@shaharmos

how you know that I like arabs more than jews ??

now YOU are god?

how old are you man?

TWELVE?

this is frustrating...

[shaharmos]

@franknwalters

you very stupid anti-Semitic

very very stupid

[Twilight1964]

@shaharmos fuck off raghead cunt

[shaharmos]

@Twilight1964

fuck off you and all england

[shaharmos]

@MrRightFFM2

הנה משפט שלא תצליח לתרגם בגוגל

" אדוני ישמיד כל  אוייבי ישראל "

שייתמו כל אוייבנו

שייתמו כל אוייבנו

שייתמו כל אוייבנו

[MrRightFFM2]

@shaharmos

God will destroy the enemies of humanity which is clearly the Zionists.

I have jewish friends who are against Israel so you are eving losing the people at your own front (as 2006).

Is there a zionist internet-taskforce who try to shut down every anti-Israel comments/articles/videos? You pop up like rats everywhere!

[shaharmos]

@MrRightFFM2

לך לעזאזל אתה יחד עם כל  החברים שלך

בקרוב תקבלו פיגועים ואז תרגישו את מה שאנחנו מרגישים !!!!

[franknwalters]

@shaharmos

You've wrote me a personal message which I'm going to make it public...

For my (two) comments below you wrote to me:

"you very stupid anti-Semitic very very stupid".

First of all I have nothing against your country or your religion !!

I don't hate you, you have hatred in your heart...

I actually think YOU are anti-semitic...

I also take back my question about your age ...

I'm sure you're not more than 5 years old ...

Go play with your friends ...

[shaharmos]

@franknwalters

go to hell 

[franknwalters]

@shaharmos

You can't tell who's with you, against you or just don't give a shit about you...

This is my last reply to your silly (& I'm being polite cause "sick" is the right word) posts...

You are bad news & must be ignored !

[shaharmos]

@franknwalters

LEBANOM IS PART OF JEWISH HISTORICAL LAND

[shaharmos]

@MrRightFFM2

VERY SOON  THE MUSLIMS WILL EAT YOU WITHOUT SALT
