[jwmulvay1]

RIP Bleeding Gums. I wish the Simpsons had ended shortly after you did. Love this song btw

[maltavmalta]

Tune in to watch a classic Gerry Rafferty song, and it is preceded by an advert for a Justin Bieber Album. Jesus Wept.

[LeeyannInPink]

[DrDeathDefying560]

This makes me love playing the saxaphone.

[stoph2]

@DrDeathDefying560 do you not get sick of people asking for this?

[DrDeathDefying560]

@stoph2 Hello no, I love playing this song, how many times it's repeated doesn't matter.

[MRSBANKS2]

they dont make songs like this anymore that makes me sad

[dickydom9]

from the days of music

[Reddenjack]

Jazz maaaaaaaaaaan.



[english1992998]

this song has real music in it, not the techno crap todays music has

[booopdooop]

I can't think of a more exhilarating start to a guitar solo, goosebumps everytime those strings slide in.

[leetonosaki]

@666gemgem The reason is in one way unfortunate and in another an example of why true art is timeless this is because yes the new is flashy and impressive in its own way but unless it has some substance it won't really last this is why in 50 60 years classics such as this will still be remembered while the shallow unmeaning full garbage will be forgotten it has always been so and always shall be.

[666gemgem]

how can this song have so little views ???

[starry2006]

@666gemgem Because the old one was no doubt taken off so Vevo could take over it completely.  This was only added a few months ago.

[imjustmne]

the sun shinning, driving your car with the windows open blowin wind through your hair, classic song

[louisemichelle00]

goosebumps!

[abisivepoo]

Are they taking the piss, this doesn't even have a million views!!

[Mclittlemiss]

My dad introduced me to the man who wrote this song he wrote it about his friend tony who died i love this song and its great lyrics

[heinzie5]

[5StarWullie]

[tazcub1]

[ben2nd]

I came buckets

[stusixtyone]

First time i ever asked a girl to dance at a disco was to this,it was caroles 18th birthday, fancied her like hell, even when we where at school.

my mates stood in the background taking the piss big time. BASTARDS.

wasn't untill last year that i saw her again, still stunning at 51.

thanks for the memories gerry, R.I.P.

[ben2nd]

@stusixtyone cool story bro

[KonradIkov23]

Hats off to Bob Holness on Sax.

[onebigmutha]

@KonradIkov23 actually the saxophone was by Raphael Ravenscroft. The "myth" that Bob Holness played the sax on this was supposedly started in the 80s by Stuart Maconie (yes from Radio 2) back when he used to write for New Musical Express.

[KonradIkov23]

@onebigmutha That's the joke I was referring to, don't have to copy and paste Wikipedia to me ;)

[planetrockford]

My opinion only, only sax on Streetlife betters this.

[JonnyAinsley27]

wish the saxaphone would last the whole song!

[DccSawcy]

where the f**k have i heard this song before? once that saxophone kicks in i just remember the song immediately but dunno where the hell i could've heard it..

[XxICraigIxX]

R.I.P Dad... Your still alive and well but i will end you too this song soon!

[Hotlips4000isback]

This song makes me upset, it always did when it came out all those years ago.

I'm 30 now, and knowing that he recently died makes it SO much more poignant. ;(

RIP Gerry.

[LeeyannInPink]

This was my dad's favorite song ever. It was played at his funeral too...

R.I.P. Dad, 1 year ago today :( <3

[me33848]
