Fun Boy 3 Our Lips Are Sealed Live

[zintrigue]

June is very pretty here

[toshishimura]

ChevelleSSGUY, did you know that Jane Weedlin of the Go Gos and Terry Hall of Fun Boy 3 wrote the song together

[Mr03051961]

very nice style and culture ilove specials and fun boy 3

[nowdid]

You can NOT get more sexy than a female drummer I don't care what you do or how hard you try it just ain't gonna happen.

[dommywaddle]

@nowdid

I'd never thought about that before but now you mention it, you're right.

[ChevelleSSGuy]

I really like the Go Go's version of this song but I think Fun Boy 3 has a better band and does a better job on this song. It is really a good song regardless of who sings it.

[trojantjl]

this version is just as good as the go-go's

[taborpoland]

Thank You

[getbig]

Caroline Lavelle is on Cello

[peterdunkley]

June Miles-Kingston, formerly of the Mo-Dettes, on drums - excellent

[DaveEnsor]

yes she was hot :)

[byteme1963]

classic

[982Munchie]

who's the cellist?

[getbig]

Caroline Lavelle

[982Munchie]

Thank you.

[GriefTourist]

amazing song

[jodibjodi]

britains most underrated songwriter

proper genius

[julieswahn]

Got that right.

[robpurifoy]

It's lost on most of y'all teen fucks, but our generation knows these guys should have gone further. Aside from that, the social aspects of this vid represents the agnst of the downtrodden (singer), the happy (jamaican dudes), and the lost love (the drummer and fag boy singer,) LOL But alas, kick ass song.....

[yozzerscfc]

you mean lynval and neville. ur mum was the drummer! forgot you were bought up on boy bands nuf said

[robpurifoy]

It's a boyfriend/girlfriend, or otherwise alliance, no copyright wrongs were done. This version was kick ass, nuff said.

[rosaire0]

The copyright laws in Canada are so stupidly defined I can't run the Go Go's interpretation here! This is good though. Not really a cover since Terry Hall wrote the piece. Screw the Canadian Queen, whomever she might be.

[evertonio]

Terry Hall co-wrote the song, and the Canadian queen is Queen Elizabeth II, lol.

[nem2010]

Hahaha... thats some fucking conclusion....

[mediafresa]

well then i guess you're a fucking idiot.

[ginay]

absolutly!

[izarac88]

she's well fit ,well she was then !!!!!

[WarrenWeeder]

this song burns like acid on my brain melting my will to live. too... much...cosmetics..must...click­... back.. button

[skisdad]

I find the Drummer strangely Sexy!!

[kaa13]

And the violonist at the last second !!!!!!!

[robpurifoy]

ur mom was the drummer- ha thats classic. I guess she could have been. She seems totaly bored to be drumming too, but being aloof was the cool thing in the 80's. Except for the Jamaican dudes that were usually rockin' out.

[mullio]

tell her i love her

[yakov11]

wonderfull song i like to be a freak like the 80 years

[mullio]

I always wanted to be in this band as a teenager.

[Arkady63]

How freaking '80s can you GET?!

[80sbwoy]

anybody knows who the backing band is? the're cute and the best i've ever seen playing with terry. cheers!

[janeythebrit]

this and Golden Brown ....best songs of the Brit early 80's

[sonicjay007]

what a nice song! a gem from the early 80,s.!

[nancy66632]

terry hall really is the king of lookin alienated and lonesome on a stage full of people. i am a massive fan of terry hall/neville staples and the eighties, and this really shows up the decade for how great it is!!! im off to the barbers for a "terry".

[tuesdayjoe]

Don't get the haircut..i did it and it doesn't work..but,then,by now it's.probably, too late.

[wbkeebler]

A few months back, there was another video of this song posted from around the same time period. I would love for someone to repost it. Good stuff.

[julieswahn]

Yes, I recall it, too. It was a better version, imo.. Terry looked more "lonely" on the stage, even though it was cramped as this one is. I love this one but the other one was even better. There was even some foreign-language overdub one.. do you know this one? It was not really Terry singing it.. it was overdubbed and was really cool.

[VeniVidi]

"...they have a shield,

nothing must be revealed...

...There's a weapon that we can use in our defence,

Silence!...

Our lips are sealed...

It doesn't matter what they say,

no one's listening anyway..."

What a song! Human nature, neatly captured.

[deesmam]

Christ, do you no remember having hair like that??? Mines went from mowhawk to terry like...and I'm a GIRL!!! How FAB was that hairdo????

[nicedog1]

June Miles Kingston, thats her name - thanks carrollkrc for reminding me. I wonder what became of Terry Hall. The last I saw of him he was wandering round a lake muttering to some bloke about moving away from Coventry to the countryside. I think it was some Open University programme I stumbled upon in the dead of night.

[dommywaddle]

I saw that, too. I thought it was a drunken hallucination so thanks for reassuring me it was real.

I wonder what he's up to, too.

[nicedog1]

I imagine he's producing something or other now - thanks for replying anyway.

[Zadster]

Last I heard was that the Specials were reforming for a tour in late 2008, and possibly recording some new tracks. Check wiki and his own web site. How much like Robert Smith does he look in this! That would be an absolute superb double act.

[carrollkrc]

Drummer was in communards and did a duet with jimmy somerville (comment a te a dieu)or something

june miles kingston is her name, originally in the modettes. great voice

[stopmakingthatnoise]

Was that the one where they were in a open-top car?

Great track.

[carrollkrc]

Yes, thats the one.

[stopmakingthatnoise]

Hi, I just found it on the vids. Looks a bit naff now, but i remember really liking it back then. Wow, how times change, but we don't always know it.

Cool!

[tpaladino]

YES! This is awesome. The 80's rocked. Theres more style in this video than in everything on MTV right now put together.

[dommywaddle]

What a song, that guitar is superb. Why wasn't this a huge, huge worldwide hit? Thanks for posting this.

[24738382]

fuckin spot on days! the 80 s beat any shite today! women, beer ,music ,fuking time goes past so quick thats means your life has and is great meaning yeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeey

[veganswines]

what a magic song! (When I bought the recording of it back in the 80ies I was extremely positively surprised that there was that harpsichord theme of Miss Marpe on the record!) Real neat band style.

[AndyKofHB]

I saw these guys play two shows at the Palace in Hollywood the summer of 1983. Awesome band and music. They ended the show with "Gangsters" then played The Doors "The End". Next week they play in San Francisco and then break up. Sorry that all good things must come to an end. Terry Hall is a genious.

[turnertalking]

I don't like this version as much but at least I can understand the words.More than 3 lines I never knew , WACKY. I was 19 in 1983 where is my cane

[blopper68]

Superb,thanks for this.

[EarlGreyIII]

Aww, Terry smiles at the end. Thanks again for this. I think this version is even better then the recorded version, the guitar sounds so sharp.

[tinysally]

terry  always looks unhappy

[HumGuitar]

Terry seems very unhappy.

[elperronegro]

I love this. I love the gogos, but this song really spoke to me strongly in a different way. I miss the "hush my darling" part from the non live version. But the plain guitar funk in this one really adds something. Drummer is cute!

[CapriciousCapricrn]

Love that cello, so deep and soulful. The male & female duo near the end, this version always takes me to another place. Love the hushed base, in an era that had more than its share of high-pitched shillin. (I love the GosGos version of this too; I'm talking about a lot of mainstream pop of that era - Journey and Whitney Houston for example.)

[Twiliteman]

No one could believe, back in 84, that I liked this version better.....and I still do! Besides, I was totally in love with their back up band...c'mon a female singing drummer..and that cello player!

[johnnysjukebox]

Yes, I totally agree, it's not often a live version is better than the record, but this is so cool, and those girls...mmmm..are they members of the gogo's??

i need to see more of them ;) names please!!

[parkhill62]

Not the gogos but they all appeared on the first FB3 album -Missing and can also be seen on my other uploads " The more that i see" and "The End "

The drummer June Miles Kingston also played with

EBTG

[Twiliteman]

Definately not the Go Go's ...much too hot (not that the Gog Go's weren't hot in their own way)

[Twiliteman]

parkhill62... you are a fine person and a real humanitarian. Thanks for posting this, I watch everyday.

[parkhill62]

......sorry Waiting not Missing

[rubyslippez]

Brilliant!!!

[hoserzgirl]

This is awesome... SO clean and beautiful
