The Commitments - Mustang Sally

[gonemushrooming]

"I'm in a dress, I have gel in my hair, I haven't slept all night, I'm starving, and I'm armed. Don't mess with me."

[30secondsMusic]

is this actually a real band or is this from the movie? we saw the movie in english lessons, but the band is real?

[egiziaco7]

yessssssssss from roma tks :))))))))))

[1Mafk]

'67 fastback....my favourite Mustang :)

[Missyhaylz1066]

LOVE his voice!! :D

[TheHippy4]

luv this song so much

[blkmarinewolf]

great cover /watch?v=QPwqGBROK6w

[kixsian]

Just picked up a 2012 Mustang today, had to hear this song.

[Notstrongbow]

What a cracking version! A far better version of a classic song than is "The Black Crowes "

version of "Hard to Handle".....In my opinion of course

[greenhornet299]

FIVE stars...Loved this movie!!!

[Seattlecarnut]

Irish music? This hardly sounds like Irish music, unless the band is Irish.

[trevkahel101]

@Seattlecarnut the band is Irish, they covered this song

[Seattlecarnut]

@trevkahel101 And they did an awesome cover of Mustang Sally.

[trevkahel101]

@Seattlecarnut I agree, it's a shame they couldn't stay together

[Seattlecarnut]

@trevkahel101 How long ago was this band around? How long were they together?

[ErikaCopeland]

@Seattlecarnut The ban is Irish <3 an AMAZING

[liastein1]

best song for a strip-tease session

[nakedsnake468]

random question how is this irish?

[petec17]

@nakedsnake468

it's from the Irish movie "The Commitments" and is performed by an all Irish-cast. But yes the music itself is not Irish. But a lot of Irish people identify with this movie and the song because it's, well, so good.

[BrianHR100]

Hard to believe the lad singing this was only 17 at the time, amazing talent.

[Littlemissjay100]

@BrianHR100 :o you learn something everyday he looked miles older !!

[BigAgitator]

I LOVE wilson pickett but this is a better version imo. awesome movie!

[rwhaller42]

@BigAgitator Try Buddy Guy, the version from the album. This one is damn good though. That he was only 17 is unbelievable. Of course, there is Little Stevie Wonder....

[BigAgitator]

@rwhaller42 Thanks- will do !

[Redeye1524]

Who would've thought that this could come from Irish people? I thought these guys were black

[NikkicxX1]

Totally proud to be Irish right now ;)

[Catwink41]

RIDE SALLY RIDE!!!!!!! ( we gotta be the chorus here!)

[Catwink41]

@Catwink41 Let's hear it!!! Get that tambourine going!!!

[Xx1smokey3xX]

llol my wife and kids LMFAO slowing down slowing down

[SACATHOLICNEWSSERVIC]

Grew up with this song playing constantly! We'd Karaoke to it!

[gatitame2azul]

[DetonatorYellow]

In my younger years (you know, when you misheard everything) I always heard mustang salad.

[MrRosspatzelt]

[DatPrettyMamii]

I had absolutely NO IDEA about this song until My Wife and Kids. . .pretty good song :)

[cici87654]

@DatPrettyMamii Im watching that too!! lol Thats why in here.

[imo07]

@DatPrettyMamii why was it on an episode?

[DatPrettyMamii]

@imo07 Well one of Junior's friends Larry's grandmother passed away, & he would ask the entire family to do things for him since he Grandma died. So one of the things Larry asked Mrs. Kyle to do was sing this song because it was his grandma's favorite. It was pretty hilarious seeing Mrs. Kyle sing soo soulfully while Larry's grandma was just lying there in the casket lol

[QueenTudor4]

All you wanna do is ride around sally...riiiiiiideee sallly rideeeeeeeee...

[renezinsilva]

ooomg ,, the best group of soul , of music , never exist ! oh shit man , is realy wrong !

[ShawnMicheaIs]

[thespikey1000]

thumbs up if u got this from mustang & sally from black ops

[TheCookingmaster]

@thespikey1000 i got this when i put SALLY beside my best freinds BRAND new mustang. to bad i put the stickers that peel of and leave glue everywhere.

[Brizzy55]

This is about as Irish as Wilson Pickett is US southern blues when singing Danny Boy like Delores O'Riordan.

[christiantransfan]

This is my new theme song. :D

[furrysega7]

i play this in my mustang gt

[kubrox91]

i actually think of extras whenever i hear this.

[jfooza]

who got this song from miss congieniality?

[craigletham]

This is music!

[TheBrendadale]

@craigletham YOU'VE GOT THAT RIGHT!!!! It's a wonderful old song, Wilson Picket gave it its first life. BUT, the Commitments give it a brand new level of energy!!! This is one of my fave tunes!!!!!!

[TheBrendadale]

@TheBrendadale I must correct myself!! I just listened to the Wilson Picket version, and I have to say old Wilson does it better! And if you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. Do the comparison.

[leftunattended]

@TheBrendadale - Like just about anything, it's really a matter of personal opinion. We don't all have the same favorite anything. I love the Committments' version.

[yoyocediced]

knight rider

[smbdy555]

@TheD3fiance :

i adressed people who _can hear_ but are deaf.

[Tank420uk]

@smbdy555 you know the 14, now 15 people are those types that say that anything but the original sucks, well they need to evolve.

[metalcorehead]

[KingKameron]

@thenamestab its not counrty bro... its classic!!

[animeloverfreak4117]

Miss Congeniality <3

[TaffTalk]

Thumbs up if you not watching this from My Wife and Kids, your here to download it to your itunes because it's a quality song and wish to maintain that great music should be free, and let the idiots pay the cooperations for their synthesised and manufactured pop bands.

(Also, don't give me a thumbs up, I'm not a 'thumbs up whore').

[smartalek1]

ThankYou ThankYou ThankYou --

I think you're the only one left who's got a copy of this actual track up here.

I cannot believe how many pinheads there are posting covers that don't tell you they're covers in the page title.

It's a minor annoyance -- but it's rude, and totally pointless.

[xsazzyrulz]

i just love how thats my name. (apart from the mustang part:L)

[hplov3r98]

My Wife and Kids brought me here.

[babygirl00827]

thumbs up if your just listening to this cuz of my wife and kids

[TheBeatleboy64]

I love this film so god-damn much...

Awesome music, hilarious, sad, perfect...

[nanadebbie67]

i love dancing to this song

[oinb]

1991 - An awesome song.

2011 - An awesome song.

xxxx - An awesome song.

[klausbluetner1]

not as good as buddy guy's version

[im0tha0nicest]

Haaa I named my Mustang Sally. She's so pretty [ :

[MrSpencerSims]

Just friday i drove home a 95 mustang beater that was stolen, mistreated, and had a bunch of trashy chrome stuff on it, and i spent 16 hours taking the chrome off, vacuuming/steam cleaning the inside, washing/waxing, changing oil and putting brand new tires on it. My father paid 1750 for it and its red with white racing stripes.. I turned it from Ghetto to Muscle :) I Love my car and my dad.. Best Graduation gift ever.

[im0tha0nicest]

@MrSpencerSims My momma paid 1700 for my 94 Mustang. Mine's red (but has teal fenders cos it'd been mistreated). Coincidental, eh? [: My graduation present is a V8 motor to drop in her, I'm excited [:

[epicchapnasty]

@im0tha0nicest spoiled?

[im0tha0nicest]

@epicchapnasty Haaaa, I really wish. The reason for the AWESOME graduation present is these last two years of high school I've actually been going to college to get my AA, so I graduate with my diploma but with college credits as well. I'm totally and completely broke but my family works really hard to have nice things. Moral of the story: You really shouldn't judge a complete stranger.

[im0tha0nicest]

@MrSpencerSims My momma paid 1700 for my 94 Mustang. Mine's red (but has teal fenders cos it'd been mistreated). Coincidental, eh? [: My graduation present is a V8 motor to drop in her, I'm excited [:

[Craig7767]

I WANT A MUSTANGGGGG! And Sally aswell.

[coolhailey0503]

@Craig7767 my horse ( who is a mustang) is named mustang sally :)

[yrwrstnghtmr]

@Craig7767 Go to Death Valley, CA. There are a litter of Sally's in guacho dress with the horses from a Rochester, NY corral for thorobreds. Their foremans with the kite tail will instruct you to get on a horse for lessons. Planted in the sand are several ostriches with the beak and eyes above ground. Yes, these are ostriches with their tail feathers and wings planted. Ride to place five horseshoe stamps one inch from the head and pull out an ostrich song, the horse is yours and ostrich steak.

[Mamasan41]

Terrific band! I always loved that fact that the first American woman astronaut is Sally Ride!!! How cool is that! You couldn't ask for a more perfect name for riding around!!!( in space!)

[NineTails20]

Saw them last night in Dublin......to quote Derek Scully from the movie, they were fuckin' deadly! Sod being proud to be Irish, I'm proud to be a Northsider!

[paudiemaguire1]

@NineTails20 seen them last nite 2, one of the best live bands i seen in a while!

[BeccaEve94]

Proud to be Irish.

[Areleias]

Andrew Strong (born 14 November 1973 in Dublin, Ireland) is an Irish singer and the son of Irish musician and singing coach Robert (Rob) Strong. He grew up in Naas, Co Kildare. He starred as Deco Cuffe in the 1991 cult film The Commitments, based on the book by Roddy Doyle, having been cast at only 16 years of age with a voice sounding much older. In 1991 he was nominated for a Grammy Award.

Awesome Voice

[TheMarioBurger]

AWW deadly i saw these in concert yesterday(wed. the 9th) so epic!!! they all came out and there was a cheer, and when it died down, the black haired one(the girl-cant remeber her name) leaned towards the microphone and whent- '....howyaz.' ah it was gas

[GmanGregilla]

This guy's singing voice was/is absolutely epic.

This is how to masterfully cover a classic song, and, essentially, make it a masterpiece of its own.

It is also completely absolutely how to completely own a song through vocals alone, whether in a masterful cover of a classic song or otherwise.

[MsSpongebob606]

ireland might be falling to shit at the moment, but we have some talent! :)

[westonlad2010]

there doing a reuinion show this week

[ichapah]

If I remember right the singer in this band was 16 or 17 when this movie was made. Saw this movie opening night back in '91, learned to play this version of the song a few days later.

[loafbo]

leave it to the irish to do the job right !!!

[Vermillion2176]

Anybody that has been in a band and doesn't think The Commitments is a great movie has lost it somewhere. What a great, sad, typical and true story of trying to get a band together.

Big Ron

[twcme]

@Vermillion2176 Reckon you're right. And the terrible dilemma of working with someone with a great talent (the singer) who is unfortunately a complete tosser.

[kentzer135]

Thought the film to this was very good tbh

[MrBarnyGumble]

This sound is cooool

[MiamiViceGTA]

Did you know that the commitment's singer was 15-year-old in the movie? He looked like 30+. But I give shit about the age if the music is that good

[xchngtube]

@MiamiViceGTA

Well he was 16 in the film yeah as a 23 year old Dublin singer myself I cant contain my Jealousy

[sfmac313]

I performed this song in a soul band in 1969. It is a classic and, quite frankly, I like this version (God forgive me) better than the Wilson Pickett version.

[geraldbean1]

Love this version. Ha a year before I was born!

[clarinetgrint]

mum always plays this song in the car. :) i know all the lyrics x

[NorwegianCinemaHD]

My band did a Cover of this song this other day : ))

Awesome song to play on the drums, and with your band : )

All of you that plays in band, do a cover of this , its really funny! :))
