The Futureheads - Christmas Was Better In The 80s

[YouCanSeeYourFace]

I think everything was better in the 80s, I never lived then but all I know is the fashion was a whole lot more cooler then it is today, I loved the music especially!

[RockAndRollMassacre]

modern life is fuckin shit

[indievampire]

wow it's christmas rock on. 

[OldSchoolChinny]

Christmas was always better when you were a kid. Kids today will wax lyrical about the tens,the next generation will about the twenties,etc...

[bulletproofblouse]

"Snow was deeper"... No it wasn't! I can remember perhaps ONE, maybe two tops, snowy Christmases in the 80s. I got a bike on one at it was a pretty major pain actually.

Nevertheless, one of the very few good Christmas songs.

[ricpez718]

Yes it was, living under a rock in the 80's?

[jayindie93]

You KNOW this is a damn good song if I'm still listening to it....in the SUMMER.

[Elliss6]

ive talked to the drummer :)



[bartez111]

Superb song.

[MoRBiDAnGeL70]

everything was better dude

[DrummerMatt15]

CHRISMUS.... WOZ BETTA IN THA EEATEEEEZ, WOZ BETTA IN THA NAYN TEEEEEN EEATEEEZ

[TheGentlemansShadow]

Another great one from the Futureheads!

Even if I was born in the crappy 90's.

[drdazfuk]

Brilliant.. as usual

[AnAmericanIdiot05]

This is my favourite music video.

This band is the greatest to come around in my lifetime.

[PanchoWatkins]

neoclásico ctm

[m4rk3y]

i also got told off for tresspassing at steetley hahaha

[Sammusic92]

alot of this is filmed in hartlepool

[shelooksthroughme]

2:10 barry is like FUCK YES

[EricLiddle90]

Filmed in Pools!

[drunkdrummerduncan]

LOVE the location for the shoot, one of my favorite places in the area (what... hatlepools grim! you gotta make the most of it somehow)

catchy ass song n all.

[hufc2002]

Steetley Tunnel

[cocteaufan]

OMG this record is dire beyond belief

[fifulecc]

This song sucks after 3:21

[MrTulip65]

hee hee ..that was fun-thanks Futureheads ;)

[xobernicexo]

Well i wouldn't know, i kinda wasn't alive back then

[psphakattak]

At like 1:29 thats near hartlepool :D, I go past it on the train when im going to sunderland :D

[RoofTopBoozers]

This should have been Christmas number one!!! Fuck you Simon Cowell!!! You killed Christmas!!!!

[newwave89]

1:19 Was this an homage to Depeche Mode's "Shake the Disease" video??? Thanks guys, my new favorite Christmas song.

[iamruby86]

@newwave89

That's what came to my mind also...

[ugforthewin]

Christmas was better in the 1890s.

[yourideweride]

the best part is the end lol

[lordgallop]

Heard this a lot on 6music recently. Loves it.

[jarof40]

My current number one! And of course, Christmas was better in the 80's :)

[92leeb]

I love it how Barry goes really Mackem during some words

[bear211]

That's just my opinion but I think that Futurehead's song is much better than Coldplay's.

[MechoMadness]

@bear211

The sound of chopping onions from The Futureheads (or indeed anyone) would still be more interesting than the bland perma-stubbled free-trade dross produced by C***play.

Chris Martin, please die.

[spangle69]

The Futureheads are fantastic.

[JoeStunner]

My Christmases certainly weren't better in the 80s. Now the 70s was a different matter...

[jayindie93]

Alright, who's the Scrooge who hit the dislike button?

[pooliexlass]

i love that the video was filmed in hartlepool!

[24088]

Good Christmas song

[pojmasta]

Terrible

[drelturko]

Love it. You've found a new calling guys.

[captainmegamoose]

best christmas tune since bo selecta proper crimbo and darkness don't let the bells end

[Evie2607]

But don't you think this will have the upper hand over all of them? There are a lot of jaded late thirty-somethings who may enjoy one more chance to get nostalgic.

[Evie2607]

Can anyone offer me any advice on how to start a Facebook campaign and get this to number 1 in the UK charts this Christmas instead of The X factor entry?

[GoblinJuiceII]

@Evie2607 Problem this year is that there are tonnes of different campaigns this year so it probs wont work. Some are trying to do "the bird is the word" others "The Pogues - Fairtale in Newyork" so it will be hard this year. Which is a shame as I love this track and it really deserves to be seen as better than horrible horrible x factor.

[ianlazyboy]

Nice work - maintaining their record as my fave band of this millenium.

[SwedeMichaels]

After my song, my favourite new christmas song!

[MuseWeezerCool]

that can easily be a new and known christmas song

[sarahthgothgirl]

love it x

[MikeyBlighe]

@recklessprincess they were all bairns in the 80's, so they'll remember them! They've only got a couple of years on me mind!

[GoblinJuiceII]

That is a brilliant song...

[recklessprincess]

I'm guessing most of them aren't really old enough to remember the 80's very well? I guess that's the point...

[lennartik]

@recklessprincess who gives a fuck, the song rocks.

[GoblinJuiceII]

@recklessprincess they were kids then... hence why christmas was better I think

[lisamaria1972]

Love it!

[jayindie93]

Two of my favorite things: the greatest band in the world, and the greatest time of year!

[rockonmady]

MINT!!

[babyshambler1985]

A-MAZING!

[PSNLookBehind]

Mowbray park :D 1:47

[dharvey86]

Christmas was better in the A-Team?

[Exlonox32]

Meh

[carlhunter88]

Fantastic :D

[shagchow]

Not only a great song, it delivers a great truth: Christmas WAS better in the 80s. The snow WAS deeper. Suck it, 21st -century Christmas . . .

[jayindie93]

@shagchow

Amen! I don't mean to complain about this day and age, but life seemed easier in the 20th century. Things seemed a bit more enjoyable.

[deadgreystar]

@shagchow the current snow is the heaviest and most prolonged snowfall in living memory - last time we had this much snow was the 40s or there abouts.

[duedmen]

a great song as usual

[ruby8wax]

I love this, lets get it to No1 in the charts above those X Factor twats :)
