CHOON!

[martin999355]

[latinhooligan]

Man oh man! I remember the first few guitar licks from this song in the opening music theme to a show MTV used to air in the late 80's early 90's called 120 Minutes. The host of the show was a British guy named Dave Kendall. I always wondered about the name of the song being played at the beginning of the show. Now, 20 years later, I come to find out it's called "Bottom Line" by Big Audio Dynamite...a band I'd always liked. Hey mandaluyongboy, THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

[bellybouncing]

kinda house way before there was house

[kirstym84]

FUCK IN MAD 4 IT

MANCSTER DIDVSION

[pogobrooks]

probably not even better when its live

[BigBulgeCheeks]

I love this band, I forgot all about them, then again I was only 6 when my dad introduced me to them 10 years ago

[redwobble7]

the horses are on the track!!

[jjvb74]

can't hear this song without moving any part of my body!

[envaneo]

I love this version

[argoonz1]

tangna ka gurang ka na rin pero ayos sounds mo...xb!!!!!!

kwarenta and still rocking!!!!!!!!!!!

[point0bar1]

holy shit, there really is a part 2! it's awesome, why wasn't it included in the album mix?

[garryinblack]

B.A.D are Mick Jones From The Clash and Don Letts (who introduced Reggae to the Punk Scene in 70's London) he was a big influence on The Clash....

[joestrummer999]

England has and always will have the greatest bands...there is no question

[TRS4488]

@joestrummer999 - i concur

[weldergoddess]

Every time I say the horses are on the track. Everyone looks at me funny. lol

[moonmonkey7]

lol! me, too!!!

[larssons11]

totally original!!!....

[JulioCarlos69]

wow!! BAD

[6irondriver]

oh sht, loved the 12 inch version, have that somewhere, prolly melted in the attic.

[ct4raz]

The Accents are indeed ENGLISH!! Why does it seem they are from the land down under?? I always thought so! But they were formed in the U.K.

[6irondriver]

no, they are british fo sho.. . "10 Upping St".was their other album, they were joking about 10 Downing St. which is the address of the Parlament. The british one. C'mon, last I heard Aussies don't do punk rock....

[weldergoddess]

@6irondriver Ever heard of The Living End? They're Aussie punk.

[Zyklopz9]

@6irondriver 10 Downing Street is home to the Prime Minister-- also Celibate Rifles were a pretty good Aussie punk band

[TeehpodT]

If I were to praise the English just for one thing, it would be their music. This piece was, is, and always will be: GREAT ART.

[alibootboy]

@TeehpodT what are we crap at everything else? I always found racism a bit limited:)

[TeehpodT]

And you are absolutely right in that! I didn't mean to say you were crap at anything, nor that there is some "English music gene". I just found that, from my experience and for my taste, a lot of the good (& innovative) stuff comes from England. I don't know why, though; it might be a cultural thing, or just my perception, or not knowing enough about all the other stuff. Anyway, I sure dig that tune! So, thanks for making me come back to this here vid. :-) *dances around madly*

[alibootboy]

they were great in the 80's in London town;)

[rLadyoftheBlowtorch]

PS Can you score this 12'' version online? I just have the album version...um...which evidently isn't enough...

[rLadyoftheBlowtorch]

Soundtrack to my Econ homework. Thank you, Mick, for keeping my eyes on the prize (i.e., on NOT becoming an economist... Have you ever noticed that there's no word for "enough" in Economese?)

[captaincoconut50]

Awesome quality mate thanks!

[24950938]

Wow. Just as "fashion" repeats, so much of the 80s soundtrack that Ilived and loved to has a new relevance today: This by BAD; The The; The Specials... "The more things change, the more they stay the same..." Shame no one is producing much "current" stuff and we are shat on by X Factor... A poor day when you have to look back 25-30 years for comments on the current times...

[roche52]

Reminds me of the State in Liverpool!!!

[aikicinema]

Does anyone else find it crazy that Mick Jones was ever on Def Jam. That makes me smile.

[Ultramar0270]

I remember 80's with this song in parties

[danl08]

I have this exact 12". I need to digitize this

[brianstacks]

Nice post bro! Aprreciate the 12" version

[brianpcurran]

[tetley03]

[enmaxus]

[KARBELAEZ]

[marinaKosiorek]

I've been looking for this version for a long time, thanks.

[redpat11]

so this is what part 2 is

[ChrisDutch]

Joe Strummer was a god when it came to music. So sorely missed....

[Taz0161]

I remember when this was a new hit LOL Hard to believe it was 25 years ago.

[punkrockisthekey]

i take it this is part 2

[seashel713]

can i just say once again this is the best version ever!

[ilike2much]

Thank you, thank you... I haven't heard this version in 15(?) years.... How cool were these guys?

[seashel713]

I love this version. They use to play it on KROQ!

[germindian]

mick jones is such a great producer and one of the great "mixologists".He had the foresight to adopt upcoming popular music and blend it with what he already excelled at

.His stuff is nothing short of amazing and really upligfting.My kids love B>A>D>.I was digging this stuff in the 80's but alot of my friends had missed it somehow.When I insist they listen to it ,they love it like it's brand new

[jerrichoofnazareth]

What version is this?

[licnlaz]

thanks 4 postin brings back alot of meremorie of fire and ice days in miami .

[speedballink00]

Is this the single version?

[DharmaGirl07]

Thank you so much for putting this video up. I recently bought a record of "The Bottom Line" as a single, and I only have the shorter version of this song on CD. I really appreciate still being able to listen to this version, which includes different music and lyrics than the other. Thanks again.

[tsubibo888]

very cool stuff!!! are those pictures of the actual albums with you?
