sugar hiccup/cocteau twins

[posypity]

i thought the 'hiccup' meant 'a mishap' as in a glaxaglixaglux

[earlobe1997]

"sugar hiccup on cheerios"

is it just me or is that what she's saying?!

[freeradt]

I have this on vinyl!!!! I accidentially had it in a stack of old lp's I took to sell at a local buy/sell record store & they tried to offer me 6 bucks for this 2 song lp. I'm not a violent person but I wanted to smacked the guy! Fool! I'll never part with it! No matter how much money offered. Never, never, never! ;-)

[paulamcallister]

Cocteau twins my dream band but it all sounds the same when you listen to it. goodness no insult meant i have been listening for 27 years since Tanzy Lee at rosyth introduced me but this mortal coil enchanting xxxxxxxxxxxxxx thank you tanzy xxx

A+ Very beautiful and simple. This track reminds me of living at 69 memorial ave london e15 (very grim) in mid '80's doing masses of whizz and trips, The come downs were biblical ......happy days!

[TheParamountPrincess]

love ur bubbles idea !!

[puacino2]

Great song!

[SanFranciscoJames]

try doing this again with hiDef camera.......

[piographica]

Their music still puts shivers down my back - always epic, always intriguing. They were ahead of their time and massively influential.

[iceblink08]

8 people dislike this? Each to their own, but you people have no soul !! ;)

[UmbrellaWatch]

Bubbles and breezes. Pirates and the wild wind i'n your sails. All of that is who we are. A!

[boardy777777]

i want to marry and love her forever !!!xxxxxxxx

[rme2121]

thank you for posting this, this was one of the first Cocteau videos we saw on you-tube when i first got this new mac. my partner and i watched over and over, just discovering how much we loved this band. now he is gone, and i am exploring all the cocteau twins again as a feeling that heals. thanks again for the music and for the bubbles i will never forget. have a great day.

[fredilexi]

@rme2121 Thanks for the comments. Glad you're a 'mac' person, me too. Sorry to hear about your man going. The great thing about the cocteau twins for me anyway, is that the lyrics can be what ever you want them to be, up-lifting, inspiring and, healing. x

[druidmacarthur]

@rme2121 Beautiful story.

[pattyparle]

you have a lovely garden...btw i LOVE cocteau twins also...

[OFFTHEBUSH]

that is a great video and a great song

[mungiman22]

Hold tight to what you believe.........the truth is only one question beyond what you thought you understood in the first place.....

[DYKEPALS]

my favorite summer song

[bloodceremony]

Sugar hiccup and she reels

[TheMaltesePenguin]

"Sugar Hiccup on cereals" - Cheerios were unknown in Grangemouth in 1982, the song (and I *think* they mentioned it at the time) was actually about Rice Crispies.

[evelyneverettgreen]

@TheMaltesePenguin "sugar hiccup unsurreal"?

[DYKEPALS]

@joeinparis

cool story, bro

[skylinkdave]

Astonishingly complementary visuals for this song.

[CharlieEdwards15]

Sugar hiccups on cheerios

[extremerobot]

Most fan videos are epicly retarded, and as soon as I saw this was a fan video, I almost shut it off. Glad I didn't, this works really well for the song and for the Cocteau Twins. Well done!!!

[YiscaYisca]

Pure and Complete LOVE !!! :)

[tool4janes]

lol, someone was trippin during this one. but great idea for it

[ranrio70]

I under stand cheerios!

[emile235]

as good as Abba

[rmata81]

one of my absolute favorite songs. very powerful

[SINSNAPE]

[Tommyfazz]

candyflossingbelch

[wills2701]

My fav!

[coastwalker]

perfect music to go off on one ::-)

[mccullochker]

thanks to ami from Waco working at the Gem for giving this

[2466catalyst]

Cocteau twins are Brilliant!

[writer4writer2]

carbonated drink sneeze

[fredilexi]

@writer4writer2 - carbonated drink 'burp' you mean, surely!

[sumitmatters]

I love this

[DYKEPALS]

this just sounds like a summer afternoon to me.

[Gumbyrearygood]

Are there two versions of this song? Excluding dance remixes? I havent heard it in a while and while I really like this, I remember it sounding different.  I dont remember the flangy effect on certain phrases.

[clinthoody]

try baby powder in the sun rays

[zingoza]

Hey great song ,good video,in a world that is crashing around us, to be hopefully abit drunk blowing bubbles and filming them,is harmless and fun goodluck to you...x....( you watch some t....ser say different)......!

[Giaco68]

fab cocteau twins..you said right!

[HKFoofoo]

Bonjour from France. What a beautiful idea.

[EriqueBonito]

Pure brilliance!

[MaxChaplin]

Where are the hiccups? I hear no hiccups! SCAM.

[fredilexi]

The sugar hiccups are bubbles!

[evillttlimp]

This is the first video that came up in my search for this song. lol. I was not expecting to be watching bubbles as I sang to myself.

[EndTimeDelusion]

Nice video and nice song. Oh, and by the way, Jesus Christ is Lord.

[Synchrofool]

Maitreya is Lord.

[timewind76]

Well done, thanks for the trip

[jbonestoney2]

yes , deffinately " sugar hiccup's on cheerios " lol

[hchano]

I thought she was saying 'she's a nigga'... lol... like I knew she wasn't, but I couldn't help thinking "jeez, that's pretty mean.." lolll...

[Lunacyk]

bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­aha!!!!

[hchano]

Lol ohh man, I forgot I posted this. I like how it has a -3, as if stating my humourous deafness totally makes me a bad person who must be racist or something ..

[Lunacyk]

That shit's hilarious! No worries. If a person doesn't have a sense of humor over that, then they're too sensitive. I'm black and I find that more than raucously funny. You deserve a pat on the back and a round of beers!

[hchano]

ROTFL! I dunno if I'd go that far! I do think it's silly that some people get so offended so easily. But man...tell me I'm wrong, it so sounds like it. I listened to it again and it still sounds that wayyy...

[elvispelt]

This is how you do the alt thing!!! Nice job, fella!

[chismd1]

Always thought she said sugar hiccups on cheerios which would make some kind of sense !

[sumitmatters]

That's what I hear too...

[Divinafreak]

beatifull song!

tank you

[NMillar917]

first heard this when i was 15 and im 26 now and it still sounds as good now as it did then, quality tune

[mycal64]

Wtf! I first heard this around `84-5 and have loved it ever since - how come it has the least hits of all their songs. Baffled!

[badcopbadcop]

joeinparis - tres bien mon amie, bravo!

Keep the faith and spread the word because CT are too good to keep to yourself.

Peace.

[badcopbadcop]

its just so damn cool that a new generation are grooving to CT.

I loved her voice back in the day and I still love it now. She used her voice like another instrument and you can't help but feel the vibe.

Now I have heard this again I'm going to have to dig out all our CT tapes, cds and vinyl!

[rocktoa]

Thank you for this lovely video :) I wanna sit in your garden and drink wine and listen to the twins :)

[superchickexplosion]

up, up, and away...beautiful!!!!

[thecaptainbase]

cool song

[blueaura03]

ethereal sweetness!

[michaeldonovan69]

Sugar hiccup on Cherrios... :)

[jimthefin]

I think she could sing the phone book and I would sit and listen for hours.

[fox408]

the fact that people still space around to the cocteau twins makes my heart glow!

[lotreamon01]

So sweet,i like it!

[vaf88]

: >

[ecanton]

thanks

[yukadrd]

thank god for you tube for bringing me all you beautiful Cocteau Twins fans and your videos

thank you

my life is now complete

[JedTaneo]

I like the music...

[DYKEPALS]

its only natural you like the music. cocteau twins are amazing.

[barrowchap]

move to Manchester (UK) & marry me. pure joy to the ears

[cacanero22]

wonderfull....!!!!!

[dcarr84]

my back yard is nicer. fact.

[wearafrown]

should've ended with a white fade in, imo

[drylaundry]

very nice back yard..in Toronto?

[DYKEPALS]

yeah, its that one famous backyard in toronto

[nenax1]

A bit of magic x

[AikeaCine]

Nice idea. :)

[stevecash83]

wtf?

[barrowchap]

homophobia is doing my head in. why is the word gay now an adjective for negativity?

[dcarr84]

sugar hiccup on cheerios?

[fatcatbuzz]

I get a kick out of that because that's what I thought she said the first time I heard this song. I use to put sugar on my cheerios and that's why I thought those were the lyrics, but I eat them plain now. I love this album. I guess I just had food on the mind.

[colibri1]

So it's memory association time, is it? I associate this entire EP with sitting in my drafty, mid-80s university room and trying to relax my mind after studying. And as for the "gay" comments here, it's a shame that the American use of "gay" as an insult has spread to other countries. Makes me wanna shove the campest, queerest shit I can find in your face.

[rawcoyote]

I love you for saying that. Can I hand you the shit?

[geonx001]

if you are confused or overwhelmed

spend 15 minutes with this angel

repeat when necessary

blessings

[dopplermuzik]

Greatest inspiration to me as a musician and human being... one of the most pure art expression are cocteau twins¡¡¡ will be with me 'til the end of my days¡¡ even more... thks a lot liz, robin and simon..

[oralfresh]

cuando tenia 20 años (hoy ya casi 27) escuche por primera vez azarosamente este tema en ese tiempo las cosas tenian otro sentido y otra mirada,desde akella vez no pare de buscar el tema hasta ke hoy en este instante lo haye..no negare ke me emocione hasta las lagrimas recordandola a ella y ese otoño/invierno del 2001 cuando la perdi..muchisimas gracias fredilexi

[Nanotec5]

I remember my youth in Australia when I was a lighting tech for bands, my mate and I used to travel in the back of an open utility truck (don't try this at home kids!) along the Pacific Highway from Brisbane to Sydney between clear blue skies and the Pacific Ocean, listening to CT. And we'd be fired with absolute freedom, youth and never ending summer...

[msrinnie]

Aaaaaaaaaaaah my wee combi blew up there... i had 2 call NRMA... it was even fun!!!

[tito810]

That sounds like a great summer day, i remember i did that for my last day as a high school senior. that was also a great day.

[alvinx102]

Mystical song.....superb!!!

[fredilexi]

You guys (amadeuslb & mycal64) have such great memories attached to this music. Mine was living in bed-sit land in the mid 80s. Great times though.

[amadeuslb]

i remember makin late night road trips across lebanese mountains , with my best friend , drinkin beer under the moonlight and listenin to this.

[mycal64]

I remember sneaking my walkman on excercise with the British Army and listening to this while on patrol with the Kenyan scenery as my backdrop. Unbelievable! (23 years ago!!!!!).

[mmidgers]

That's crazy. I was 7 :) 30 now :( What a great song though!!

[TroyaE117]

The girl can sing, and they certainly can write.

The lyrics are well-nigh indecipherable... "sugar hiccup oh she reels" ???... but it is good stuff.

Distant and ethereal.

[theclaret]

Takes me back to happy days.

Glad I found it on here. thank you.

[theclaret]

Great video by the way.

[svinisce]

this truly is an absolute milestone in music.

once I heard it, years ago, it hit me like a frozen foot between the balls and still does.

no complicated lyrics, but HEY, that SOUND !!

[ajittffcure]

Just listen to this song on a cold misty morning. The feeling is beyond words!

[ajittffcure]

Beautiful! Simply beautiful! The vocals and music are mesmerising.

By the way, nice video!

[DYKEPALS]

anyone know -- were these people taking drugs and if so which drugs

[fredilexi]

who do you mean by "these people"?

[DYKEPALS]

lol, i had meant the cocteau twins at the time they wrote this song... but on further viewing, i suppose the question applies to you as well

[Ismaelbdiaz]

good point, there is a touch of self-aggrandizment going on as well which leaves a sickly taste, have agree with jjj7477 comments earlier in all fairness.....:( it is a bit gay.

[mmidgers]

Maybe thats why you like it :)

[DYKEPALS]

one other thing: the colors and tone of this video are very pretty.

[DYKEPALS]

OMGOD ITS BUBBLESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

[enchsuizas]

ethereal. sweetest reference to analingus ever.

[bearleton]

Listen perv, this band never had anything to do anything anal. So keep your demented ideas to yourself.

[DYKEPALS]

fucking laughed my ass off

[dazzandt]

2.28!

[brutay69]

Cool song of course, gay video tho and naff

[arturmdr]

Delicious video for a delicious song.

[Eldomina22]

My favourite Cocteau Twins song and I think the video's superb.

[TellieHack]

Great song. Makes me smile, thanks for the beatiful vid :))))

[vigorbrasil]

Really fantastic, moving song. Brings back so many memories of the early 80s. Nice to read so many other positive comments.  Love to all. xxx

[gzzdotcom]

This is great music.

coteau twns are one of the best things that ever happend to alternative music.

And to the one that that doesn't like gays - I guess you don't like blacks, jews, hispanics...you should not be aloud to listen to this good music you peace of shit.

[jjj7477]

you are gay too, I wish I had'nt seen the video,

the music I know very well but the film and you

bastardise the cocteaus....

[ampegged]

Your attitude is somewhat 'tarded I think, I agree with the jj fella, you DO have a gay

stand-point......

[jjj7477]

and thank-you for nothing.

[swooningtree]

arsehole. i think the video's quite nice actually

[jjj7477]

no it's gay, like you.

[swooningtree]

is gay really an insult? be nicer to people and you'll feel better at night, i promise.
