The Jam 'Mr Clean'

[bekindplease]

I just found this from watching the end of the show "Lie to Me"... Season 3 episode 10.... Sounded better than this.... Maybe a redo? Anyone know?

[madasahammer1]

[Weremadog]

All Mod Cons - an amazing album then and still in my top played list. English Rose and Fly. Awesome tracks.

@MrJanesaddiction

Sorry, but the correct lyrics are: "'Cause I hate you and your wife / And if I get the chance I'll fuck up your life

Mr. Clean"

[rooskin2]

All Mod Cons - All top tunes, not a crap track on it. What about "Fly" as a fave track.

[semerkhetTER]

Quality tune, quality clothes, quality time...it's a shame the charts are full of shit now....

[Cantonaahh]

Thanks for posting that - hadn't seen it before. (Weller fans may like to check out the review of the new album - Wake up The Nation - at icrappoetry (.com)

[alfaromeoash]

[cantonadenmark]

This is the best song Ray Davies never wrote

[neiltreloar]

@cantonadenmark Interesting comment.Hope you are keeping up with Ray Davis,he still sounds great.Keep listening to the best music!

[xXhelpXx]

This song has been running throught my head all day. It is really briliant. It also gives me some kind of weird feeling. I mean the lyrics. I just had to think about them all the time

[kenster26]

quality lyrics

[forestgumpaed]

i saw them 5 times in all,stafford bigley,wolverhampton civic,birmingham bingley hall,birmingham odeon and finally wembley.

[yakacm]

I saw them about 5 time also, all up north, i remember camping out to get tickets for their part of the red wedge tour @ the royal court in L'pool, on the day we got in for the sound check in the afternoon, and they did a few motown things, like Heatwave, gr8 days.

[2bsom1]

[Lilnutta]

Takes me back a few years :)

[EagleJonesMcBride]

Reading 78 i was at the front getting crushed against the barrier just in front of Bruce. Remember shouting at Paul trying to get his attention, Paul did seem pissed off but that just made the tension / atmosphere even better, Top gig, great days. Nice one.

Billy.

[twistednipples09]

can anyone tell me how to find the jam's "fly" song here on youtube? all it turns up is pearl jam songs

[Aussiegirl1957]

Well well, I was at this actual festival in fact. 1978.. all those years ago. I do remember that the Jam had some sound problems during their spot and that Paul Weller appeared somewhat unhappy with the performance. Certainly his guitar is a little out of tune. My favourite tune of theirs at the time was "David Watts" and I was jumping up and down with everyone else. Great riff to this tune although the bridge and middle 8 are kind of iffy.

[modsheff1]

r8 song best off all mod cons! guitar also sounds like colin zeal by blur!:)

[merseyside]

brilliant ,simple as

[Gumbo999]

Superb record

[clattybrown]

Brilliant, love the Who riff at the beginning, glad he left punk and joined the mod scene thanks for posting great stuff also sounds like the mcvicar riff too Classic love the bass runs (the back bone to most jam tunes)

[xavierslowhand]

what who riff? ad from what who song is it

[DogshitBlues]

not a direct copy

but a similar chord shape sliding up and down the frets,

like in substitute :)

this video is pure excellence

[giles1990]

paul weller is coolest guy on the planet

[Weller1989]

'Cos i hate you and ur wife, and if i get the chance i'll fuck up your life' Weller fukin rules!!
