  • I know far to many women like this

  • His moustache is awesome<3

  •  Pinxejas GET A LIFE........are you still waiting for kermit the frog to release a new single?

  • Power stache.

  • Perhaps one of the most hideous songs of all times.

  • Yeah, finally found this song! Heard it first in a short film called hotel chevalier (its attached to the movie the darjeeling limited) and instantly liked it!

  • Who`s seen the film by Peter Sellers The BOBO with reference to this.

  • Beautiful Song ..

  • I have always loved this since I first heard it in 1969. It always takes me back to being 17, when life was so exciting and full of possibilities.

  • Great song, even better 'tasche

  • my name is kate and i was born to this track..........i am ginger

  • love it

    

  • dodgy hair & dogy moustache but what a brilliant song, have always loved the evocative images the lyrics portray.

  • That's just a great song. I really miss tunes like that in our times.

  • Hotel Chevalier :)

  • Oh and i love his look wish i had hair and a mustache like that looks lk he stole one of them london soldiers hat

  • 24 ppl don't know what love is

  • Fantastic song

  • I'm a time traveller, it's 3520 BC and i'm listening to this on my iStone

  • one of the best to come out of the seventies...but about who?? great track.

  • @dagwoodful 60s actually. Some say it was about Sophia Lauren, the actress..

  • beautiful x

  • TUNE!

  • OMG. I love this song but have never seen him before. LOL at the hair an moustache

  • Literally grown up with this song, as it was released the year I was born! Was one of Mum's favourites, so played endlessly all through my childhood. I love it still. Never seen this before though, and so after all these years first time I've seen what Peter looks like! Hair styles were different then weren't they.........!!

  • @Graemeandarchie your mam used to play this when i was shagging her

  • Darjeeling <3

  • BTW. After my comment below, I had THOUGHT people had moved on from those OLD TIMES of Snobbery and RACISTS who held ENGLAND back.

    Just so the BIGOTS know that many people from abroad have earned MILLIONS for US in England. Tell me about WOGS you anonymous person.

  • this was my long dead brothers, fav song, this and' the last resort,' eagles so many memories,,,,,,,

  • Just for the record "Fair Use" copyright provisions do NOT allow for the wholesale redistribution of a copyrighted song on YouTube. ;-)

  • not quite what i was looking for, but good song, brings back memories

  • brilliant don pedro

  • darjeeling limited! perfect song!

  • great song, but allways reminds me a song called puff the magic dragon.

  • After all this time can I DARE to comment that SEMI WHITE people from INDIA tried to pass themselves off as WHITE. Ask the antecedents of another Great singer called EDEN KANE. This is his brother. PLEASE tell me that I am wrong. GREAT SONGS though.

  • Wonderful song. Absolute Classic.

  • Im ok with that.

  • has this song been in a film recently or something similar.. ?!

  • @KKBlack1001 the darjeeling limited

  • @andreiandrei1 - never seen that either hah..

  • Such great quality for an old video! Is he singing live?

  • These songs and artists so deserve to be enjoyed again or rediscovered , bravo for posting its very much a 'spirit of the times' song.

  • I promiss I will never be your friend. No matter what. Ever.

  • Comment removed

  • Who cares what he looks like when he has such a beautiful voice? xxxxx

  • totally agree with sadkingbilly...where has/have the melody and the lyrics gone...

  • I feel like his big eyes are looking into my soul and it makes my heart swell..... lol

  • I was 12 when this was released and it sounds as good today . A classic which stands the test of time . Peter Sarstedt should be proud of his contribution to music with this song .

  • @SPARKY53100

    I was a little younger, but it is one of the songs that markerd my youth, and it is still one of my favorite songs!

  • thumbs up if Skrillex sent you here

  • Remeber me of one of my first love! She left me for a jet-set guy! Wonder were you are now!

  • @wiksang i'm shagging her now so back off,she told me you were a dog wanker

  • SKrillexxx!

  • @PEM1958 Yea .... me too. LOL

  • Not a bad tune at all for it's time.

  • A remarkably sophisticated song for its time. He was one of three Sarstedt brothers who all had chart success. But this song stands out from the crowd because of the intimacy of his performance. Like he's telling it as though it really happend. That's how convincing I think the song is.

  • how can someone hit the dislike button for a song like this?:(

  • eden kane is his is brother

  • rather exceptional, a song by a british singer which is not smooth and uncritical. It's one of my favourites. Otherwise I don't really like british songs.

  • This has been a favourite of mine since I first heard it in 1969. I never get tired of listening to it.

  • I always find it a little problematic when people say that good music only existed in that times and today's music is crap. I think there is still a lot of real good music today, but trouble is that on the radio they mostly play the same *beep* over and over again and it's difficult to discover real gems, but they still exist.

  • @Inoitspointless Have you seen him outside of this video? He's white. Deal with it.

  • @Inoitspointless He is white. Perhaps the black and white video is confusing you. Search him on Google images and see what he looks like in colour photos, especially as an old man.

  • @Inoitspointless He IS English. Indian-born English, a la Cliff Richard, Joanna Lumley, Spike Milligan, etc, but English nonetheless.

  • Bellissimo!

  • the girl in the silver suit at 1.25 is called Marriane, and was my paramour for several years in the seventies.

    Shes a granny now... but still fit

  • wow... I remember this from way back when musicians could also play instruments !

    I wonder if todays so called talent, could make it, if they had to play an instrument ?

  • my new favourite song :)

  • wow darjeeling limited.

  • Poor Marie-Claire! So loved and understood, but so scarred inside her soul. Thank you for this beautiful song, and for giving me the possibility to remember some things from my teens.

  • best moustache ever!

  • perfect

  • For reasons such as this, I'm glad YouTube exists.

  • the ugly green monster of jealousy is in comments,,,,,,or theyre just soul less morons that cant grasp musical emotions like in this story/song ,,,forgive them,thhey no not what they do ,,,

  • I've got a feeling some of these comments are from west life fans or maybe Kylie.

  • Meanwhile, in London, an angry Guardsman is looking for his bearskin hat.

  • @acrabb: got the point :)

  • @acrabb. Great song and great comment.....

  • WASW MINE 40 YEARS AGO

  • It was my favorit 30 years ago and I love it still.

  • @VienneseDelights Poorly written? This guy has more talent in his little finger than 90% of the crap that's produced today. Could you do any better? I doubt it.

  • puff the magic dragon

  • he looks like a hairy ted moseby.

  • @lukew111 hahahahaahahahahahah love himym

  • I think that most reactions on youtube are from people who don't have any

    education, or respecabillity, also in 2011 you can be a normal human person,

    Akt normal, the energie to make war to eatchother is equal to the energie we need to be friendly..........

  • @nanette20011 true, but you should use a spell check.

  • try this version - search for Kdo vchází do Tvých snů, má lásko

  • He's Obama's bitch nowadays so I've heard 

  • Beutiful song by a great singer, who deserved more hits!

  • so wait, people are making fun of his looks? I always thought he was smokin' hot... maybe people are jealous of his 'stache and the fact that he could probably get more pussy with his amazing voice?

  • Your name it is 'heard in High Places.' THAT'S a funny name??

  • Want to KNOW. This song is about ASIAN girls who tried to be WHITE. This was a song from so long ago, but times have changed since then and THEY are now accepted bys SOME people.

  • @justphil101

    ASIANS in RAGS from Naples?

    More likely Italians in rags in Naples.

    I've heard this song is more ascribed to the rise of Sophia Loren but that is up to Peter to clarify.

  • Nice stache m8

  • This was the record my father bought for my them girlfriend just before he died in 1969.the girl is now wife of 40 years.cheers dad.

  • @tonybell1948 ..gosh thats lovely Tony, and well done to your lovely Dad!

  • @HilaryMG sadness now,my wife lyn,has joined dad.cancer strikes again

  • @tonybell1948 , Oh Tony I`m so sorry to hear this sad news, not making light of it, but maybe your Dad and your wife Lyn are having a dance to this lovely song...

    I lost my lovely Mum to cancer 1981..

    So Tony keep your chin up yes? :)

  • he isnt ugly. he is beautiful dammit! :D

  • Nice hair mate lol

  • when i was 11 years old 69,my older sister bring this record at home.

    I was hooked up and still to these days I love this song very dearly.

  • this is a beautiful song, my mother loves it too she can sing it word for word

  • here!here! itchy, <totally agrees with yers, its a beautiful song, I dont give a rats arse wtf he looks like, grrrrrrrrr

  • This is great! I used to listen to his Greatest Hits heavily back in England and now I can't find the CD... I've listened to his song for the first time in about ten years !!

    Cheers!

  • This was a massive hit at the time, but I never got it ~ name dropping extraordinaire, and the verse and the chorus sounded the same, infact there was no chorus or middle eight , just the repetition of a couple of bars, becoming interesting right at the end....... although it did catch the 'jet set' glamour scene at the time.

  • punch the guy in the face, rip the wig off him, and the moustache too,

    thats Peter Sarsdedt in my book !!!

  • the line "....your loveliness goes on and on...." cracks up me while I'm watching the missus tapping out her pipe and clearing her nose...

  • Mikey,why don't you try listening to the song first? He's got a really nice voice and it's a very good song. And try thinking first, before making silly, immature comments.

  • One of my many all time favourites.  What a great artist.

  • One of my favourite songs/lyrics of all time

    And it's true what mikey says, this guy from an age where a voice was more important than image. cf Roy Orboson

  • One of my favourite songs/lyrics of all time

    And it's true what mikey says, this guy from an age where a voice was more important than image. Just listen to Roy Orboson and tell me he'd succeed now!

  • who cares if he looks like a cotton bud........its a timeless classic

  • We loved this as teenagers.  Very cosmopolitan for girls who lived in very small villages.

  • Further to my comments below, I feel that I should add that Mr Sarstedt himself was not a bad looking guy at all in 1969 (judging by this archive 'TOTP' footage of him, performing his classic song "Where Do You Go To My Lovely"', in the February or March of that year).

    I believe that Peter was around 23/24 years of age when his outsanding song reached # 1 in the UK charts. He may not have been quite as good-looking as Scott Engel (for example) ...... but he was far from being an ugly bloke.

  • Unquestionably one of the classic pop/rock singles of the past 50 years. (That is stating the obvious, I know.)

    With regard to the comment [above] by "sadkingbilly", I would agree that, in those days of the late 1960's/early 70's, how an artist SOUNDED was of greater importance than their 'looks'. Sadly, that is not necessarily true today, in the 21st century. The pop/rock music industry - and indeed society in general - is that lil bit harsher and more 'cut-throat' now that it was then.

  • 14 people are still begging on the streets of naples

  • what a fantastic song

  • Although I was 19years old when I first saw this, I thought he was very old! Despite this, it's a song I have always loved, and i only recently discovered that he is brother to Edan Kane! Amazing. Whatever happened to the 2 of them?

  • I bet a lot of viewers on this page, would kike to grow hair like this now!

    He sang and wrote some lovely songs, Open A Tin, Mulberry Dawn, Another Road, Step Into The Candlekight, to name but a few, wnjoy!

  • Love it x

  • aarrgghh who cares just be glad you aee out of there!

  • All-time classic ballad. Written by himself I do believe.

  • @CaledonianMan1968 yep it was dedicated to Marie Claire

  • From the time when it was important how an artist sounded and not how they looked. These days it's all smooth, young shiny cute boys and girls who cannot sing two words without mixboards and two soundmasters. Well, I'd rather have these artists back.

  • @sadkingbilly right, like what's the point in making music when you basically lie to everyone...

  • @sadkingbilly -couldn't have said it better..the Chris Blackwells, Ahmet Erteguns, George Martins etc. who saw the talent are gone...today the music industry is run by a handful of mega-corporations where turnover for quick profit is the name of the game...and where image and the right haircut accounts for everything and talent is of secondary importance....gone is the golden age of great music!!

    And check out my video treatment of this great classic..from Terrythekittie

  • @sadkingbilly

    I do not disagree with your comments. That said, I feel it is important to point out there were some very good-looking pop/rock stars - of both genders - around in the 1960's. For example, McCartney was an exceptionally handsome young man in his youth ...... as indeed was Scott Engel, aka Scott Walker, of The Walker Brothers. What is more, there were some highly attractive female stars around in that decade, too - Michelle Phillips and Jane Birkin (to name but two).

  • @TheEctomorph Yep! Michelle Phillips was GORGEOUS!

  • @sadkingbilly You said it mate!

  • @sadkingbilly I have to disagree...The Beatles they were great yes, but they had matching suits and well groomed hair...well in their earlier years. But well I agree on everything else you said.

  • @theorangebox999

    Beatles started off with a bit of irreverance for rock. Like Faces or Cockney Rejects.

  • @sadkingbilly Make u right my friend , but maybe ime just jelous of all that hair !!!

  • @sadkingbilly Umm, all the girls that are famous can sing really good, don't hate. And everyone has a special beauty, it just takes something to bring it out. It might be their make-up, surgery, or personalitys that make them attractive. But celebrities where once just me and you. We're all very pretty, if we realize it

  • I love this song. It's really good ;) ..just downloaded it from downloadmusic.im

  • makes me wana cry too :(

  • So French

  • Krásna pieseň a netreba viac slov

  • Great song. EPIC mustache!

  • not sure why but i always get a lump in my throat with this record, if you are only going to make one classic record then this is it. well done Peter. Crazy comment brigade on here, remember this was 1969, things were different then and far better than they are today..

  • @blakiethemod Agreed - might have only been 4 at the time - but 69 was a year of many achievements - Concorde's first flight, Man on the moon, and potentially the best Bond film (OHMSS) - what more do you want from a year ?

  • @dcr1tch it was goldfinger

  • @rolandquinlan IMDB disagrees with you ;)

  • I remember my mother singing this song so many years ago. I have never heard the recording until just now. God, it is just beautiful.

  • Donovan's brother, so I read. Amazing lyrics anyway.

  • @gerryhiles He is Eden Caines brother...Amazing song from the late sixties...timeless classic

  • This it |

  • I believe his brother is Eden Kane.

  • Peter's hair style and clothes may not be in style any more, but his wonderful voice and this wonderful song are timeless!

  • That's a wig surely.

  • @Feisty1967 More than likely, but a groovy one. ;)

  • @costellodan NO, NO, NO, YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG, EXCEPT THE GROOVY PART

  • @Feisty1967 It's not, it's not...he's just got a groovy mop of hair and it's stylish, don't you know?

  • WOT IZ DIS YO!? DIS IZ NOT DA FINE NO MERCY TRACK WHERE DO YOU GO MY LOVELY? WHO IZ DIS LAME GUY WIV DA GUTIAR. MARTYS GUITAR IZ SO MUCH MORE SEXY AND DINGDINGDINGDADING! DIS SONG IS FOR FAGS YO.

  • @harveyderf You're an idiot to even compare the two songs. Different Styles, different decades. Besides, this a song sung by a man about a girl. How does that make it 'FOR FAGS YO'. Only in your opposite world, where listening to No Mercy is 'FINE' and a man loving a girl is gay.

  • @aloneintherain29 U WOT, U WOT!? DEY IZ MUSIC SO U CAN ALWAYS COMPARE DA SOUL OF MUSIC. NOMERCY HAV LATIN FIRE EN PETER SANDSFAG HAZ A WET BLANKET. DIS SONGS IZ FOR FAGS CUZ HE AINT TALKIN BOUT FUCKIN LIKE NO MERCY DO. YO!!!

  • @aloneintherain29 I completely agree with you. He must be living in some kind of ''tough guy world''.... removed from all sensitivity to human emotions

    Anyway in other matters, I was wondering whether you want to borrow an umbrella, for when you're alone in the rain? also, there's a lot of splashing going on in that video....hmmm it sounds fun...oh and are you Santa Clause?....so what are you bringing me for Christmas? lol

  • @harveyderf Speak English man, then someone might know what you're babbling on about. Btw this is a love,..something, I doubt, you would know anything about.

    Peter is FAB and you're not, so there mister...

  • @SuperDonna888 Ah you must forgive me I was using the parlance of our time. I am a professor of linguistics and firmly believe one must adapt ones communication style depending on the medium. However I digress, also I studied the love poetry of the 1990s and I from my readings know more than a little about love. Haddaway pondered it with the seminal 'What is love!? Lady don't hurt me no more' and No Mercy gave a visceral account with 'Where Do you Go' compared to Peters more cerebral effort.

  • @harveyderf Having said that, I accept and agree, that in some circumstances and with some people, the use of parlance, might be a more effective and fitting way to speak. In reference to your comment about ''knowing more than a little about love'' I would only say, that, love can only be detected by the heart, and not from a book, though the notion of love might be. Regardless all is forgiven...just leave my Peter alone lol .... Kind regards from Donna

  • @harveyderf hahahaha Mr. Harveyderf, you naughty man, I thought you were fresh from the ghetto, speaking as you did....You know, you run the risk of giving the wrong impression of your good self, albeit said with a certain parlance. With all due respect, I take an alternative view, in so much, that, I think it is more important to speak clearly and as concisely as possible, in all communications, thus raising the standard of The English Language in general,

  • @SuperDonna888 YOUR Peter? Last I checked, the man was a slave to love secrets only I was equipped to deliver. We met as two free spirited youths back in West Bengal in the 50's. W more stars in our eyes than money in our pockets, we fell in love with reckless abandon, as children often do. I never forgot this enigmatic man. When he penned this song, about a ne'er do well POSER, I was crushed, dismayed that he was held captive by one so shallow. Yet, we are linked thru karma and aligned chakras!

  • @jasonismyhomie Well I call ham my Peter because I'm rather protective and defensive of those whom I like or love, even though I don't know him personally, he's still my Peter, if you will pardon my possessive expression. I know very little about Peter, but I'm fascinated by your comments...Was she his girlfriend? and is it true, that she came to an unfortunate and premature end? ...You say she was a poser and shallow...hmm sometimes it's difficult to understand why the heart desires, ot needs.

  • @jasonismyhomie Well it sounds like you and he, had a lot of fun in your teens. Are you both from W. Bengal? amd was Peter from a rich or poor background...if I'm not being too intrusive...I'm just interested in people's lives, as one might read a biography. anyway, no matter if you'd rather not say. Thank you for the comment. best wishes

  • this i swhat soul sings and yhis i sthe true story of a woman who hides identity ---samir saraiya

  • Exelente de lo mejor

  • love those moustache....

  • i´m 14 and i love this song ^^

  • He's sooooo goood!!!!! Want that LEGO hair!

  • but is the hair real? that's something else. sort of like Macca if he hadn't come back from acid. good song though - no they don't make those quasi protest songs anymore

  • At least it was real music - people who could actually play instruments. It's not new bands who are actually musicians that are the problem - though of course it couldn't be new to us - it's manufactured, X-Factor, computer-generated garbage that's the problem.

  • There is still good music out there being made. Every generation says the music of the present is trash. Me included sometimes so just remember your parents trashed your music and theirs before them.
