  • ha,ha,fine comics videoclip but leopard prince whatsoever havent got jas look.Jas is very diminutive.

  • @fantazielucy Ha, true! The leopard prince is like a super hero, and most super heroes are muscle bound, right? But of course Jas is not like this at all!

  • I like how the drum beats go all dancey on the chorus

  • Of course it did had no success. After ''What's the Story ? Morning Glory'' of Oasis destroyed the charts , what this guy was thinking to come out with a song that sounds exactly like Oasis ?

    After the success of Spaceman , he came back after almost two years with a crap song and stupid video. Nobody was interested in this. Not even the record company.

  • 201 * Spice girls - Two become one.

  • i love this song

  • Liam would be proud of this.

  • Jas as hero? :D

  • 1 person really needs to lie down.

  • this song was on a 90's mixtape i made when i was a kid

  • You can convert this or any youtube video to an mp3 at soundnabber..com

  • used to love this!

  • Here i am 5 months later to comment again on this song, i originally thought it sounded like Oasis, but after listening to T Rex a lot lately, it sounds more like them. especially The Futiristic Dragon album

  • @colemann76 Try "truck on (tyke)" by T.Rex :) I would say this is the main influence for this song.Babylon Zoo was great, too bad Jas Mann was considered a fluke.Really underrated.

    

  • @dummytree You're right, it is "truck on (tyke)" that it reminds me of, that song wasn't on Futuristic Dragon though so my mistake, thank you though.

  • @colemann76 You're welcome. Thanks for mentioning "Futuristic Dragon", this is a very good, underrated (one again!) album.

  • @colemann76 The song titles on "King Kong Groover" are really bolanesque as well. "King Kong Groover" for starters :)

  • @dummytree....agreed Jas Mann and babylon zoo were ahead of their time...too bad the banal, mundane world wasn't ready for their progressive take

  • those years... :)

  • can't understand why everyone disliked babylon zoo so much they were amazing people obviously didn't have taste back then.

  • because this song is the truth... tho oneeyed will be destroyed...

  • wheres that new album

  • new album please!

  • "got to #46 in the UK charts"

    A positive way of looking at a flop then. Last time I checked we only chart the first 40, the rest are just theoretical placings. lol

  • @jimmy5willy If you type in "UK Chart Stats" it goes down to 100

  • I remember that video :-)

    I was 9 years old when I saw this on TV.

  • Never heard this before,but it's suprisingly good though, if Oasis had of released this it would have done much better i believe.

  • He was always in his own little world. Nothing he wrote would ever really connect with THE PEOPLE, the way Blur or Oasis would.

    "Jassmann" was an normal bloke from WOLVERHAMPTON with an eccentric interest in "eastern things" and particularly strong numinous yearnings for the Kingdom above..

  • Indeed, I think that's why they didn't become too popular. A shame, because there are a few that recognise some of what Jas is talking about, like myself. Not all of it mind you, but enough to like it ^_^

  • It has some "Beatles" in it :)

  • Oh Yeah Dog! :) Oasis too! :)

  • i thank god for hell..

  • i thinik hell get more popular and make a new album.fuckin do it you cunt

  • it waz jas mann's fault babylon zoo didnt go big cause spaceman whent to his head and he got cocky :'(

  • This definitely lifts directly from Marc Bolans Truck On Tyke & Bowies Diamond Dogs. But as other people have commented Suede, Oasis & supergrass have allborrowed from Bolan & Bowie and non of that is a bad thing 'cos they have ll made it their own. All that said - I love Babylon Zoo & this is agreat track x

  • Kudos for Truck On Tyke.Many people don't make the connection...

  • Love the self deprecating song and 90s cartoon style vid.

    I'm surprised how good this is- I got the first album and liked most of it despite being weirded out by Mann's voice and irritating 'look at me' androgyny. There was a massive hate mongering for them but maybe the second album was better?!

  • Sounds more like supergrass!! But i agree underated.....!!

  • jas man is the man who is totaly babylon zoo!

  • One of the most underrated songs of the entire decade.

  • I cant understand how the song and band didnt go on to be really succesful!

  • unfortunatly there were to many haters out there. Jas was just to different for them to cope with :[

  • @pitbulldeathsquad because their next album after "Boy with x-ray eyes" was really sucks! So, EMI told "we don't need you anymore" and fuck them out.

  • @pitbulldeathsquad

    strange indeed

  • @pitbulldeathsquad One reason mate Jas Mann's ego after the success of Spaceman!

  • i baught this on single when it came out. I stand by that descision XD!

  • its like oasis and suede got married

  • hahahaha

  • David Bowie: Diamond Dogs

  • the song is cool and I was 16 when I hearded for 1st time

    I dont know if the album will be too bad but this song I liked a lot.

    xD

  • N e one got any idea wher i cud get an mp3 download of this song?

  • This guy was so under rated..how did this only get 2 no.46, it sounds so similar 2 a lot of Oasis songs that made the top ten, even no.1

  • Jas said in a French interview that this video was spawned from his love of Marvel comics. He felt this was the best way to become a super-hero himself.

    I think it's wonderful m'self. Too bad this album go so fucked over by his distributor. It's got a dozen great songs.

  • Amo esta canción

  • ironic song innit really jas mann? class tune though

  • Ha ages since I heard this... this was one of my favourite Babylon Zoo songs :)
