@bartennena1 who said funerals can't be funny. I wan't to make a playlist for people to play at my funeral this will be one of the songs. my dad is British but I don't live there. most of my friends think my music tastes are crazy. They are there crazy there crazy good! is what I tell them
The lyrics in this song are so so good! British working class anthem!! ( In my opinion anyway! )Paul weller/The Jam, Music Legend.
A police car and a screaming siren, numatic drill and ripped up concrete, a baby wailing, a stray dog howling, the screach of brakes and lamp light blinking, That's entertainment!!! Amazing
I grew up with weller, from his time in the jam we went through the thatcher years of jobs lost, (inc mine) the miners strike, the falklands war, and the rest of the bullshit we had to put up with at the time . hang on a minute?,,, nowt's fuckin changed !!!!!!
Think Weller has great stage pressence in this one...recently covered it on my channel..it would make my day if you guys let me know how you think my interpretation is :-)
great song..but Youtube -The MOD SQUAD- "FEELS A LONG JOURNEY" ...biggest song in Australia ..its the song which is changing peoples lives overnight!..take one listen-classic
What year is this? Who is that playing bass? Tony Butler? Weller looks a little funny w/ his dumb & dumber haircut, still an unbelievable f-ing genius even if he was an a-hole personally.
Thank you for making this available. The original version of "That's Entertainment" impacted my life greatly twenty years ago. I am learning the guitar at the moment and have been re-inspired by this clip. Quite simply, I would like to say thank you.
the jam were a classic band that you dont see these days, paul wrote about life as it was back in the 70's and what a song writer he is. One of the best in my view. Just bought 22 Dreams, another classic from mr weller himself.
One of the finest lyricists the UK has ever produced.A fucking rock God,Liam Gallagher, eat your heart out son.Notice how the prick Liam, tries to look like Weller these days?
The screams of the crowd the very second Weller starts to sing still get the hairs on my neck standing everytime.
Is it just me, or is his voice nowadays just not suited to singing Jam stuff? He seems to have gotten more soulful, losing that 'Engerlish wide boy yobbo' type voice. Watch the version of this song with Noel Gallagher to see what I mean.
i must agree,not as good with out the other 2.i think paul should do a one off with the jam.after all it would bring back a little bit of britain 4 a little will....
no mate, he still has it, i know someone that plays in his studio, the one that he GAVE gallagher was the white rickenbacker with the black scratchboard, that you can see in absolute beginers
At the time of Paul Weller Movement, rghtly so. He wanted to do what he imagined the Small Faces what do in the present. No hits though, from that time, but a string of great concerts. Next phase and next good song was "Sunflower".
The bass player here is a twat, obviously; Paul should have taken him aside before.
got all the jam cd,brill a
