Wet Wet Wet - Wishing I Was Lucky US Version

[LoveCurtSmith]

I thought always that he sang: when my best friend Roland told me...

Then I thought who is Roland? XD

[MyBerndt]

genial!! 

[265308]

the 80's were kick ass even the non hard rockers had guitar solos!

[TheMara61]

Disregard my previous comments. I am not The Wet's manager to say what's better for them. Nevertheless, Marti coped with this style.

[TheMara61]

Marti gives for free his naughty looking under his eyebrows. Yes, It is a OK version. My sorrow is that they ARE GREAT. Marti doesn't need to take a Elvis look. Marti is Marti, the Wets are the Wets and if the USA auditorium do not understand this, it is USA's loss.God forgive me, I like USA, just not when translate genuine European talents or legends like this into Elvis. I, myself, have discovered Marti 2 years ago. I had known their music 20 years ago, without face...

[TheMara61]

I don't like the fact that in USA is USA's way or high way... I really think that USA misses the essence, by translating their looks into USA English looks.The music is Wet's music, nevertheless I do not like their looks. And I think they ( The Wets) do not like either.

[MayfairGent]

fantastic record, although I must mention that I hated everything else they ever did with a passion, but this is just wonderful...

[wizerlooking]

80's rule...

[kurtmartial]

After a day of work listening to non stop manufactured x-factor shite on the radio i get home, pour a drink, put feet up, headphones in and go back to the 80's, try it so relaxing.

[landeverge]

@TheARMAProductions agree 100%..wish we could get rid of' now's' music in a way

[DTBContractsLimited]

Happy memories!!

[TheMara61]

Listening the Wets playlist, while laying in the most comfortable bed, it is heaven!

[pb123451508]

Marti was a fine looking guy back in the day

[DaftSwank]

Meh . . . this is OK and I adore "Love Is All Around", but I for one preferred Curiosity Killed The Cat for my '80s Blue-Eyed Soul/Brit Pop Funk addictions . . .

[carolcemrobyn]

Brill song ,Gorgeous Marti Pellow...but did they make it in the USA?

[ernkfemp77]

I really love this song real oldskol! When I hear this song it gives me a great feeling

[fooksake69]

I think that this song is class just because it brings back happy times in my wee head.

[fonzithornton]

Such a brilliantly written, performed and produced track, and boy does he know it! Wet Wet Wet's only truly great single.

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

He does look like that guy- is his name Hugh Jackman?? If so Jackman is a good looker. And Jackman is not that young either he's aged well.

[susiewop]

What a tune. I could have eaten Marti Pellow up then. What a total peach :)

[ernkfemp77]

@susiewop I totally agree with you he has such a sexy eyes and a very naughty look hahahaha

[dld80]

They just don't make music like this anymore. Wet Wet Wet's Part One greatest hits CD is freakin' awesome!

[argaretbea]

How kind of you. I certainly meant every word. We think we're in charge of our destiny but I don't believe we are. I believe fate has much of it sorted for us, but that there's an awful lot of luck involved. I feel especially blessed to have strong memories where I can shut my eyes, play something like this piece of music, and for a few minutes feel like I'm back in time.

[JulusHungary]

A HANG! -ÉS EMLÉKEK....

[denconjoswa]

Missymelfan I totally agree with you. OOOOOh really handsome man he was(unfurtainally not anymore now he lookes very old) I remember when I was only like 10 years old when this song came out and I all ready had a crush on Marti. He was very sexy and a very sexy smile, a good voice. man looking like this really SET ME ON FIRE!!! hahahahaha

[fabinou1974]

gives me gooooooooooose bumps ! A cracker !

[broxibear1966]

best 80s band ever

[TheMothman001]

Wow! my dad had all this great music 80s music, i've got gaga and bieber!! it juz ain't fair!! lol

He looks a bit like Wolverine guy too...mazin!!

[EmilysMusic8]

This song never gets old.

[heavenlyaction]

A mosolya.... az annyira pozitív,.... nagyon szeretem ezt a klipet, mert sokat ad nekem.... Mindig vidámabbá tesz..... I love this song.....

[Tanglewoodranger1]

When 'Wet Wet Wet' were actually a bit cool.

[aethelred1000]

Can't help myself but watching this video for two hours now. I must be crazy. I remember the song very well, but I forgot how this band looked amazing on stage, and how Marti was a hottie (and a powerful singer !!!!).

[pretoria1974]

I was 13 and I was in love with Marti. Sweet memories...

[heavenlyaction]

He always smile... i adore this...

[Hacsaturjan]

Must be the best Wet Wet Wet song. Always puts me in a good mood and full of energy. It has amazing musical background. Thumbs up if you agree! :)

[13101988andoni]

wow! very very good! love that magical typical eighties synth background sound from 0:45 till 1:00...real eighties lovers will know what i mean....cheers everybody!

[MyBerndt]

comeback???

[caz13122]

looked for him always in erskine never feckin seen him gutted

[Bowsaphina]

One of my all time favorite songs. And Marti will always be hot..that is all!

[MarleneMc63]

Soooooo HOT!!!!

[wimblewomble21]

This song is more relevant to the youth of glasgow and the uk today than it did all those years ago when this song came out

[scotland638]

@wimblewomble21 Sad but true.

[wimblewomble21]

@scotland638 I live abroad now, and whenever i go back home, i nearly cry when i see all my friends having to line up at the doll office. When years ago they would have all had work in the ship yards or in the city centre. But i keep my head up high in hope for better days. Scotland and its inventions are responcible for the success of every economy & industry in the world today, & i find it unbeleivable that we get no thanks for it, & have no industry to call our own.

[scotland638]

@wimblewomble21 Thatcher destroyed all our heavy industry,probably because Scotland kept voting Labour.I believe we can only be prosperous again is to be independent and control our own destiny without being told what we can and cannot do by Westminster.Luckily me and most of my friends are working,but i know a few who had to move away to find work.

[DeepDean]

Their best song ever. Unlike the rest of the other shit they released.

[sagan1976]

@DeepDean Good god someone saw the light! Right on! This song is sick, all the rest is pseudo-smooth bullshit!

[KissaMaBonnaboe]

Proper music :)

[KissaMaBonnaboe]

Proper music :)

[29jeffk]

six people not lucky hey?

[lunatunes77]

Great song but this video's a bit bland compared to the UK version.

[madeinamsterdam2028]

He kind of looks like Bruce Almighty

[TheSonia69005]

LOVE <3

[1bberta]

Nagyon jó a zene,imádom az énekes hangját...

[redthunderhammer]

I hope rockstar make another 80's flick, hopefully more action and much more funnier dialogue, I hope they make more funnier character, lets see what soundtrack they will come up next.

[richbannon]

a fantastic song/ social commentary - the bad 80's are back - the production values in this song are amazing!!

[aysevda1]

where is the UK version?????!!!!!

[TheEgeauX]

One leather jacket. Check. Two hoop earrings. Check. Quite possibly one the best songs from the 80s that no one talks about. I first heard it in The Ballad of Gay Tony and was struck by its goodness. My life has changed since hearing this song, because I am lucky everyday..dramatic pause...and SCENE!

[TotallyOutOfTouch]

Will I ever be able to stop watching this video?? =)

[titianouch]

@OneManArmy519 gay or not gay?

[titianouch]

désolée, jai dû mal comprendre les commentaires....

[dmhandy]

I loved this song in the 80s !

[MrShooter16]

@OneManArmy519 Yeah, but it is not enough...

[MrShooter16]

I was wishing I was lucky... And I got lucky!

[titianouch]

j'ignorais qu'il était gay, quel gachis! ce beau mec! mais quel belle voix, tant pis pour nous les femmes....I was wishing I was lucky.......

[kr241168]

@titianouch Marti n'est pas Gay !! il vit avec une ex Miss !

[titianouch]

j'ignorais qu'il était gay, quel gachis! ce beau mec! mais quel belle voix, tant pis pour nous les femmes....

[PeteGeeza86]

Yuppy's and bankers SCUM and a stain on British society.

[essexmoosh]

makes more sense after a few cans of glasgow council pop (special brew) ayyyyeeeee

[lewisner]

Great Anti-Yuppie song.

[JONNOG88]

@lewisner

Now a great Anti-Bankers song.

[MrShooter16]

Jeez, always, when I hear this song in a game GTA EFLC, I drive the Infernus/Lamborghini!!

[minx80]

is he a tim??????!!!!!!!! lol

[AryBerry85]

love love love the bad boy image :D

[shmuli9]

Hmm... whether I select "UK Version" or "US Version", I get the same thing... Either Americans have taken over YouTube (and we all know how they hold people at gunpoint and MAKE other people buy jeans and eat McDonald's 'food'), or the videos are the same... I don't remember...

[whenjazzwasking]

The city of lights

[SuperUndertaker29]

what city was it

[concretebabybaby]

@SuperUndertaker29

Glasgow

[SuperUndertaker29]

@concretebabybaby i know there scottish i was reffering to the song when he said they maybe a job in the city and i was asking which city not which city there from

[SuperROSSCO1986]

@SuperUndertaker29 I think London back then alot of Scots went down to London to try and find a job

[SuperUndertaker29]

@SuperUndertaker29 i know there scottish i was reffering to the song when he said they maybe a job in the city and i was asking which city not which city there from

[bonzibaby8356]

Good things from good, old day`s (recomended from("kobegirl" in Italy)

[PeteGeeza86]

Great pop song :-D

[MeBenHalpin]

Love this song, practically grew up on Wet Wet Wet, my dad had lot of their albulms.

[upkarsaimbi]

amazing production on this, let's hope no new rap stars or pop artists find this one - they'll ruin it.

[razorblades2008]

The video for the rest of the world is SOOO much better than this one! Go on the Wets!!!  I love(d) them!!!!!

[EauxMegaTron]

best song that no one remembers from the 80's EVER!!! (unless you have GTA)

[wondermagic1]

God I had the biggest crush on Marti Pellow! Gorgeous voice =)

[razorblades2008]

@wondermagic1 Yeah, me too. I always loved him!!!

[PeteGeeza86]

Great song :-D

[MyVergina]

what a voice! love you..

[eas17dale]

i absolutely love this song. especially the big finish to the song with the electric guitars other instraments and vocals all pile in at once

[DjJohnnyM68]

just about the only 'truly neat' song by Wet Wet Wet, subject to opinion of course.

Nothing else on 'popped in souled out' was as catchy as this one. Would love to come across the 12 inch 'got a job' remix of this song. Blue eyed soul and lots of it..:)

[urguelfa]

The look he has in his eyes at 0:05 ...

[argaretbea]

We were driving to Yorkshire to our new home and came to Cowling. There was a huge black cloud of birds in the sky getting ready for migrating. They were swooping magnificently across the sky so we stopped to watch them. Wet Wet Wet came on the car radio with Wishing I Was Lucky. My husband is dead and ever since, when I hear this music, I wish I was on that journey again, through Cowling, to that new home and I wish I was lucky enough to see that lovely man again - even just once.

[dickietaylor2000]

@argaretbea Such a touching story. i hope your wish comes true : )

[MeBenHalpin]

@argaretbea That's beautiful, but also very sad, im sorry for your loss, this is truly amazing song to remember him by.

[argaretbea]

@MeBenHalpin thank you very much. How kind.

[MeBenHalpin]

@argaretbea No worries mate.

[RedJoe10]

@argaretbea That is probably the most heartfelt and beautiful comment I will ever read on YouTube or in fact the whole internet. Thank you.

[RBS2010AD]

Fernando Wishes He Was Lucky !!!! ;)

[Mr76vicus]

a kedvencem nagyon szeretem őket..

[MrJonesm123]

when i hear this on gta i have to turn the tv up and blast it

one of the best songs on gta

80's forever!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cujo9]

helen ingram, louise bradbury are you watching ?

[cujo9]

boy this brings back memories ! late 80s magic

[gallen5042]

I hardly ever listen to this sort of thing, but this song is just as I remembered it ; melodic, uplifting and actually very good.

[twebb63]

That Singer is one Kewl Cat...!



[dot4design]

Wet wet wet was one of the best groups at the end of the eighties....MORE FANTASTIC ´80´s music at my channel!!!!!

[Goombah777]

Yeah, '87 was one of the best years for this kind of stuff....

[mlg772]

still love this after all these years

[Luvracing45]

I lived in the UK in the late 80s and have been looking for this song ever since. Thanks to whoever posted it!! I loved Marty Pellow. What a smile!!!

[333colette]

I LOVED them when they came out in the 80s think I was around 14 I had one of my biggest crushes on the lead singer. Only problem was not a lot of people from california knew who they were at the time which made it more special to me

[MeBenHalpin]

@333colette Never thought Wet,Wet,Wet were even heard of in States, but least they've got one adoring fan, do you have most of their albulms then.

[kingexlax]

@MeBenHalpin

Well, I think this song reached the top 50 in the US. As did Love Is All Around. (I think). So almost a hit.

Huge US fan here from the beginning!

[MeBenHalpin]

@kingexlax We learn something new every day. Wishing I Was Lucky reached number 6 for 14 weeks in UK charts back in April 1987 and Love Is All Around number 1 for 37 weeks in May 1994

[BabyG18]

love this song!

[almighty777]

Vice City FM :) :) :)

[MrShooter16]

@almighty777 Thats right!!!

[kingexlax]

@almighty777

LOL..just remembered GTA is made by a Scottish company. Which would explain the inclusion of this song.

[caseyforever]

is this from the 80's or just styled that way?

[chandlerbingfan]

@caseyforever It is from 1987 :)

[caseyforever]

@chandlerbingfan thanks!

[MeBenHalpin]

@caseyforever April 1987 and was number 6 for 14 weeks, think it was their first hit too.

[joshii5]

Identical bassline/ chorus to the Temptations "Treat her like a lady". Not saying it's plagiarised, it was probably just on in the background and peripherally influenced it. Like the "When I get that feelin'" Sharleen Spiteri hook borrowing from Marvin Gaye, or "Anybody seen my baby" by the Rolling Stones having identical verse, melody and chorus structure as "Constant craving"

[lola5257]

ty for posting a brilliant song ...xx

[leftdust]

Criminally did not hit the Top 40 in the States - indeed, the kind of music that is sorely missed.

[Jamile128]

andrellsv, redescobri os Wets depois de algum tempo. Antes só conhecia algumas músicas. Agora me dei conta de que conheço quase todas...! Virei fã mesmo! Mas você também deve ser, já que já viu todos os meus comentários(inclusive sobre Marti Pellow... Ai, meu Deus! Que vexame! kkkkkkkkkkkkkk).

[andrellsv]

almost 23 years later,i discovered real chords for this song...and i can't stop playing it...wet wet wet songs are the ones who inspire me more...

[obioneryder]

happy days,just finished school  and not a care in the world

[Newy100]

this man is so bloody delicious I could spread chocolate on him and lick it off what a scrmpot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-p

[angelaharlem]

@Newy100 who needs chocolate lol, would just lick !!

[Jamile128]

Amo essa música de qualquer jeito!!

[andrellsv]

@Jamile128 vc é muito fã dos wets mesmo...vc está em todos os videos :D

[andrellsv]

@Jamile128 vc é muito fã dos wets mesmo...vc está em todos os videos :D

[angelrogo]

nice ... but UK version is better

[andrellsv]

@angelrogo UK version is real good indeed...this US makes them look like a boy band...NKOTB looks LOL

[SynthieAl]

What does he say at the beginning, before the music starts?

[nick7sikkema]

@SynthieAl

"He would swear by his mouth almighty"

[SynthieAl]

@nick7sikkema Thanks for this quick answer!

[MsFanta1]

@nick7sikkema ,hey nik do you have any recent footage, like from jan this year(10) it's hard to comprehend looking at this vid and then the "too many People" just how the drugs have changed him, unfortunatly for the worst, he stil has a fantastic voice

[MrWiskin]

He would swear by his mouth almighty

[tt55774]

@SynthieAl All lyrics are writen at the right side, click more info.

He would swear by his mouth almighty.......

[mrbinkybonky]

@SynthieAl he would do his mum up the shitey...

 apparently its common in scotland....

[mercuryforeva]

@mrbinkybonky lmao!

[argaretbea]

Unusually it was a raging hot night in Yorkshire in the late eighties. We had the windows wide open but it was like being in some US steamy high-humidity place. Outside our house was a neighbour's car and suddenly Angel Eyes started playing inside the thing on replay and it went on the entire night.

[tt55774]

Likewise and I do enjoy beginning:  He would swear by his mouth almighty.

[mimithefrench]

Everyday when I go to work I listen to that song in my car...it makes feel happy for the rest of the day!!! By the way I also like "I can give you everything".....

[silletjuh]

@mimithefrench

me to.....or looking the videos at work on you tube...lol, i also like I can give you everything, but world or word in another, is also very nice....more uptempo...to sad it's not on you tube.....

[kvxz]

Definitely like the US version better than the UK version...especially as it's got 40 seconds more of the song. The last 40 is my second favorite part, first being "a job in the citayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeyyy­yyeyyyyyeyyyyy oh baby!".

[mcghee76]

What is the difference between the UK version and the US version? It sounds the same to me.

[bulgman]

Only the clip is diffrent.

[lvu16]

the 80s wow

[mimithefrench]

I love the piano in this song....the guy is just having fun!!!

[ml2001]

1987

[gilimiligili]

This is an Excellent song , sure one of the best of "Wet Wet Wet" , but i actually prefer the european version , the one VH1 use to play !

[isitomorrowyet]

love marti

[mimithefrench]

Best song ever!! The kind that makes you happy for the whole day!!!

[tt55774]

Ah, how I did love that song.....

[MoiCaprice79]

He was wishing he was ugly ;-)

[SuperSarolta]

Good luck to the resumption Marti!! :)

[leeperkins450000]

1987 i believe

[flares]

I remember when this came out back in 1987. Best single they ever did with Temptation a close second. Music was so much better back then. Well I think it was anyway.

[suecruz100]

@flares . 100% agree with you, nothing compares. Kim Wilde's "You Came" was another classic

[MrShooter16]

@flares You´re absolutely right ´bout that, man!

[regmok]

@flares Totally agree.Their fist single wishing i was lucky differs than this one it started off by " seeking words of wisdom" Be much obliged if any one can give me any details about it!
