Nouvelle Vague - Making Plans for Nigel

[modernredeye]

I remember the XTC version - that was good. This is better. Incidently, do some people think that photo is the singer? It is Kate Moss, the model.

[dagolvianna]

YEAH THIS IS A GREAT LIFT MUSIC, I LOVE IT A LOT!

[tonybaby100]

i love this elevator music lol,its so soothing it makes me sleepy

[vykintask]

Why is this song accompanied by sexy girl? so cheap, nice song, bud dislike the cheap tactics to get views!!!!!

[zebraboy777]

This is beautiful.

[modernredeye]

The photo is Kate Moss. Nothing to do with the original song but a good illustration for a very nice rework of the original.

[RWFreaky]

this is a brilliant version! but i like robbie williams' more ;)

[LALOSERRxCORE]

@slapjax28 who? kate moss? 

[slapjax28]

she looks like a young kim bessinger

[judgedreadmusic]

judgedreadmusic



[rck35ou]

sublime



[jajajajalope]

primus version is by far the best

[dabe95]

@jajajajalope primus sucks

[casestudyification]

I didn't get past the first line. I'm laughing my head off. Pretty comedic if you ask me....Still laughing!

[NotGuiltyMag]

What do you mean the photo has nothing to do with it, im guessing you haven't met nigel before.

[TheKittycanscratch]

Elle te va bien, cette chanson. Il me semble que tu en as fait un coup.

[bobbybuttmunch]

Fantastic version of one of my fave ever songs.

[backwoodsgps]

good going girl

nice cover

[tucktown49]

I wish I was Nigel

[aristotle358]

Nice version. Not really fair to compare it with the original XTC version. It has that "girl from Ipenema" feel to it.

[JavelBleach]

Never better than XTC. NOTHING is better than XTC.

But Nouvelle Vague are excellent in making a lot of 80's covers their own. Saw them live in St. Malo. Brilliant!

[BlueTrickle]

I love this version..it sounds so relaxable..

[BlueTrickle]

I love this version.. it's sounds more relaxable.

[TheFiratunal]

Beautiful and naughty , i want a girl like her.

[ThePieffe63]

This is the way to kill a song!

[ciidlive]

yeei is nice !! beatiful !!

[TheFiratunal]

who is she and why her dont understand?

[VelvetKate]

@TheFiratunal it's Kate Moss. Don't know why.

[TheFiratunal]

who is she??



[Robson1091]

@TheFiratunal According to Google Goggles it's Kate Moss, but I don't know what she has to do with this song

[zefando]

@gwynethanne I Agree not as good as the xtc version written and sung by Colin Moulding. not Andy Patridge (okay backing vocals)

[tronchemol]

Excellente interprétation de "making plans for Nigel", 30ans après XTC.

[jamesgall9090]

@diornotwar123 how would one get hold of that picture?

[gwynethanne]

Not as good as our god Andy Partridge...but a lovely homage!

[virgin2look]

Musique d'attente téléphonique Air France .... ;)

[mariesnape]

I got here because of Robbie William´s Rudebox Radio :D

[TheFiratunal]

@mariesnape me too and stuck:)

[pbr2424]

Wish threre was an auto replay button.

[lookingleon]

@pbr2424 ONE M 0:00 RE TIME .... now you have your button ;)

[redking82]

Fantastike :)

[MrRyanhancock1234]

looks like a young kate moss?

[jamagik63]

Piekna wersja przy niej mozna zapomniec że była jakas inna wczesniej !

[elmoisgod]

I don't like this version more than the XTC one but i like the fact that shes made it her own.

[vincieful]

just named my cat ~nigel...luv, this version from  XTC !

[OhFrancin]

kate is so beautiful, but this song is pretty much beautiful

[Hot80s]

very nice for wine chillin'.

[VanessaMega86]

[dabajabaza111]

why does this shit have more views than the original?

[cholling1]

@dabajabaza111 Because it's better?

[NHansenaupairint]

truly brilliant, so f*ing sexy.

[CiaranPaulRoche]

Brilliant version of XTC's classic....

[MrMuttley06]

Preferisco gli xtc!!!!

[TheRowlandstone73]

Heard this on Steve Wright today in work.. Chilled me the hell out! :)

[WilsonStoat]

@TheRowlandstone73 Me too.

[prrrang]

@WilsonStoat

And me.

[tatuajecristal]

[tisane80]

"Making plans for Nigel "de XTC était sorti en France en 1981 j'avais 17 ans: mémorable

[KissMissBang]

[lallilly84]

We're only making plans for Nigel Thornberry.

[scottishbeta]

@john129flip

HAHAHAAHHAHAHA

[johnny991965]

Tres chic! Nice version of the XTC classic....

[podisracer]

MiXeD EmOtIoNs oN tHiS OnE!

[vjfern]

is that kate moss?

[goducks20101]

@vjfern I think she's Vanessa Paradis aka Mrs. Johnny Depp. "Ilya" is a very nice song. I saw her earlier this year in L.A., a great concert with lots of French women... :-D

[honoriak]

Nice song.. The only thing is that Air France uses it in the customer service waiting time.. so it reminds me of endless waiting time!!

[upyerrzzz1]

Nice version, but it's a bit girly. Give me the punk/new wave infused XTC version any day.

[ttjejvhx1]

@gill834 WIN :D :D :D :D

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

time machine 2011

[videocanone]

Beautiful version of this song, very French Salon jazzy ... ou la la ! I think she is making plans for giving me a woodrow. I will comply with her plans. I will be happy with my wood.

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

The photo in this video has nothing to do with the song but I'm sure it helped to get more views. lol ;-)

[Treebot1]

what a brilliant version.

[jam11049]

this song is reason enough to live.

[smithypeart1]

I love this version even though it really is about sombody's crap life

[welshywazere]

love this version of the song so chilled

[junkhead27]

saw this on suggestions watching Primus... i must say this is not bad... i still prefer Primus' version(of course lol) oh man i love that band.. but this is good!

[hellkiller45]

un orgasme auditiv!

[ibg87]

nice song about saving junkies

[ruttlingorangepeel]

kate moss

[TwoPointsUp]

@ruttlingorangepeel -Really? Didn't look like her at first, but it could well be. Nice anyway :) She is in the VDO by Primal Scream, their cover of "Some Velvet Morning"..(all the guys are searching for that now, probably lol ;)

[sweetsexc]

who is that girl in that picture ?

[oldirtydirtdog]

god damn

[malowni]

What is this beautiful girl in the picture?

[ozolli]

@gormarx

Nouvelle Vague don't care the void you are and your opinion about them, just as 6 billions people on Earth. Think about this...

[autofyrsto]

Nouvelle Vague does it again. Better than the original. Kudos!

[nidgybaby]

Im called nigel....and love this version.....also XTC's too....when i was younger it annoyed me.....especially then it came on the radio at work....people sing it to you.....surley all nigel's can relate to this.........

[maximiliancohen]

Awesome guitar work ! Anybody knows if there is a tab for this ?

[losnah100]

I like this version better than XTC's, she sings it really sexy...........and what is my name??? well, it 's Nigel of course!!!

[FatherPeru]

@losnah100 lol....I agree, more better than the original.

[nidgybaby]

@losnah100 Me too.....

[1337ontoast]

@losnah100 yeah i love the smothering dollops of auto tune as well

[drunkwithpowerNDV]

@losnah100 mine 2 ^^

[BLaCkKsHeEp]

@losnah100

hey! wsup Nigel!

[Shenanigans444]

44 people don't understand the value of planning.

[failgg]

@turdbassist sorry buddy, but your artistic opinion is shit.

you are comparing bands who's songs are comprised of and remembered because of melody... to bands like Primus who are INHERENTLY rythmic, and not BASED around melody...

even nirvana was a fucking melody band.

and slipknot.. a shitty melody band: was good on their first album because it was more rythm, less melody.

insight tells me you just think melody = good song writing.

lol@fail opinion

[DeathShamans]

i don't know why but i just love this song

[retrosoul61]

ok......

[ijustpostcomments]

This introduced me to the XTC version, which I might never have seen otherwise, and it's a lovely version as well. :)Thanks for posting it.

[TheaDoraNina]

I love the XTC one but this is really lovely and so different.

[slapjax28]

she looks like kim bassinger

[goducks20101]

@slapjax28 I think she's Vanessa Paradis(Mrs. Johnny Depp). I saw her in concert recently, she and the band are quite good....really.

[myscene2010]

A beautiful song made more breautiful. C'est magnifique!

[bbvvi]

No, it actually feels more like Samba, or Samba ballad (Samba cancao)

[Amortisxx]

I named my dog after this song 2 years ago.

[jaybee2425460]

@Amortisxx so his name is nigel?

[Amortisxx]

@jaybee2425460 Yes! ;)

[quarkspoet]

@Amortisxx nice choice.

[MoorLetoh]

Ah,British Steel,such memories of things past.

Sweet and warm. :)

[dafnalahat]

it's ok but the original is way better!

[SnowMozart]

this music takes me to a place i never want to leave....... :)

[Dhss]

beautiful samba!!!

[evanbellen]

@Dhss samba?????? bossa nova it is

[Djeicabe]

What a nice nice cover.

[MrMasterofdisaster2]

primus tore this song up i daresay this versions a wicked take on it though diggin it

[leminh91]

Nigel must be really happy listening to this song.

[nidgybaby]

@leminh91 He certainly in......thats me.......

[nidgybaby]

@leminh91 He certainly is......thats me...

[newyorktosf]

We LOve The VoGuE, Eh? - We Do!

[dominique6259]

c'est bien gentil tout ça,mais les versions originales des reprises de "nouvelle vague" avait du sens dans le rythme qu'elles avaient.Cela apportait un sang neuf au rock,ce que j'entends là ressemble plutot à de la musique d'ascenseur!!! 

[fashionistachica]

hello kate moss

[prasinomata88]

san tin alexandratou moiazei...greeks know what I mean :P

[surfysez96]

Jesus, she's anorexic.

[KikiHippee]

@surfysez96 why? b/c she's skinny??

i hate it when people assume someones anorexic just cause they are skinny/

[surfysez96]

@KikiHippee She looks ill in other pics she's so thin..

[micio630]

@surfysez96 no, she is not...

[Anemoscrash]

I didn't know that the singer was that hot... I knew this song without knowing her... Really nice voice and arrangements of the covers :)

[CEIVE4EVER]

This is their best version ever.

[RikkoDelSol]

Excellente chanson et très belle interprétation...

This group have really a lot of beautifull songs...

[Sylvain894]

Go to uuuuuuuuuuuurgh festival : You can see XTC live with «respectable streets» urge song !

[TechnicalEvaluation]

Another singer no one would pay attention to if she wasn't hot.

[stripeyshirt]

@TechnicalEvaluation bullshit! I would still like the singer if she was an ugly man. her voice sounds like butter. soft butter. perfect.

[barakiva]

@TechnicalEvaluation 

[TheMikkan101]

another sad attempt  at a decent track this version soon to played in rest homes for the elderly and supermarketsnear you soon

[sugarandspice4815]

@TheMikkan101 Too true. I would expect to hear this in an elevator.

[rosswoof]

@TheMikkan101 if only supermarkets and rest homes where to be THAT cool.

[tanpiltanpil]

sexy nigel ooh la la

[pirequepire]

divine song , this is ok , but xtc come on !!!

[maria1993jp]

Is this Kate Moss?



[doodleplop800]

@maria1993jp

Yus.

[nealdew71]

@doodleplop800 dont trust this man he,s a nazi rent boy

[doodleplop800]

@nealdew71

Shut up moron.

[lechevaliermalfet1]

i do think this works.

[puppieloveish]

Lovely cover!

[MiaCastelli]

Love!

[Astrocracker]

You are the dumbest tw@ts i have ever read, XTC's version begged to be covered. XTC was subpar in every form. Primus did it better anyhow.

[LiberalDemocrat83]

@Astrocracker: If you're going to insult someone at least have the guts to spell out the insult, you dumb fuck.

[Turdbassist]

@Astrocracker You obviously know nothing about music. XTC's version will never be surpassed, this version is good, Primus's version sucks ass big time. And before you go on about claypool being the best bass player blah blah blah, hes just another musical masterbater. Can never remember one of his songs except for some dumb ass shit about a cat an then plenty of jerkin. so you go watch him jerkin on his bass an then go an whack one off. Thats why Primus covered it cause they couldn't write it

[TheJoannecorcoran]

@Turdbassist couldnt agree more!!

[MerrymansMill]

@Turdbassist so you're implying that the only reason bands cover songs is because they can't write them themselves? did you ever think that Primus simply really liked the song?

Also, Claypool isn't just a musical masturbator (check your spelling) like some one like Steve Vai or Satriani...Although while he has the technical talent, he also has song writing abilities.

People, don't listen to a guy who can neither form a sentence nor spell a word correctly even when spell check is active

[Turdbassist]

@MerrymansMill Are you serious, this comment has been up for three months and you come along to check the spelling, or are you claypool himself. Am I supposed to bow to your superior intelligence or something? I'm not very good at spelling, as claypool is not very good at songwriting, as you are not very good at judgeng music. You stick to spelling, and whacking one out.. Shakespeare used to mispell words too, its called development of the english language. Primus suck ass, you suck cock

[vacantgreen]

@Turdbassist Masterbate, masterbater, masterbatest.

[Turdbassist]

@vacantgreen And this means??? spell it out, you must be having a bjork moment.

[mcpeepson]

@vacantgreen masterbassist ;)

[mcpeepson]

@Turdbassist don't worry,metallica and necrophagist turned him down and so did the rest of the world,Primus is like a greased pig,it's just hard for some people to hold on to,oh and there cover of this song is epic and make me happy everytime i listen to it,so...yeah quit hatin so much man, and im sure les claypool isn't original enough to write his own songs, i mean every one can come up with Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie...:)

[RottenHamburger]

@Turdbassist You are officially FUCKING stupid. That's the best I can say about you.

[Turdbassist]

@RottenHamburger Is that all you've got? nothing to back it up? like scales or modes or something like that? Prinus are shit just claypool playing paradiddles on his bass gets your sap rising. I suggest you stick to wanking pigs like all the other primus fans. If claypool is so good why is he as popular as victor wooten. they should just shut their eyes and keep rubbing eachothers cause theres hardly anyone listening they've all gone to sleep fom wanking pigs too much

[RottenHamburger]

@Turdbassist You seem to know all about this wanking pigs thing, you must do it often. Victor wooten and les claypool are bass gods. You are too obsessed with this pop shit where the bass is 4 fucking notes played over and over again to understand what the fuck victor and les are doing, which is going above and beyond the normal bassist. Every one of their songs is original, yet you listen to shit songs like this one and probobly U2 shit to appreciate their different playing style.

[Turdbassist]

@RottenHamburger Do you know, when I was younger I studied Tony Oppenhiem, larry Graham, Bill Dickens, Tm stevens, Mark king, Victor Wooten Pascal mulot, Jaco pastorius, Flea and Claypool. If you took the time to read my posts I never ever say they are no good at playing Bass. I say they are shit songwriters and I stand by that statement. They are too busy going round and round and up their own asses to realise their songs are poor, but people like you get off on their musical pettifogging

[RottenHamburger]

@Turdbassist You think their songs are bad? why, because you couldn't ever play them? Their songs arent shit they're just different. Every single one of claypool's songs has a unique bass line and all of victer wooten's songs are original too. This is getting into just opinion, you dont like that style of music so you say its shit and all that. You have to agree that they are good songs, its just that you dont like the kind of music they play.

[Turdbassist]

@RottenHamburger Thats what you don't understand, the concept of what is a good song. A good song can carry itself just by its melody and nothing else. like Hey jude or wherever I lay my hat or you've lost that loving feeling. That is the mark of a good song. It is memorable, you can sing it and it still sound good on its own. Neither of which claypool and wooten have managed yet. So we can conclude, they write shit songs. scientific fact. So you stick to squeezing your zits with your mates.

[RottenHamburger]

@Turdbassist Ok, so they aren't amazing songwriters, the focus of what im talking about is simply the bass line and how it all sounds together. both their songs can do that its just you dont like them, now shut the fuck up and go circle jerk with gene simmons

[Turdbassist]

@RottenHamburger Thats what I'm saying, they are very good bass players, very unusual bass lines and in claypools case unusual subject matter. My personal favourite is over the fall then lacquer head then my name is mud or thats what I think they're called. Anyway, who is gene simmons, isn't he one of your inventions? to go along with marylin manson, brittney and miley, we don't have that kind of shit going down over here. we don't put up with it. Enjoy your plastic pop stars like beiber

[RottenHamburger]

@Turdbassist You've hit the nail on the head there- thats exactly why im slagging gene simmons. Hes a bassist with no talent at all. I dont like any of those pop artists, I was insulting one of them...

[Turdbassist]

@RottenHamburger Okay then its agreed. Although claypool, in my opinion, isn't a popular songwriter, I will concede that he is different, unusual, and a fanatstic bass player. And at least he does write songs unlike vai and satriani, who just stoke their rods. And I do actually like some of his stuff but I still say XTC's version is better, but thats my opinion. We both agree that simmons is shite. I prefer slipknots take on hard rock theatre. But I like Nirvana best of all, drain you is class

[3rdStoneFromTheSun]

why did this idiot try to destroy the classic XTC made?

obviously has ZERO TALENT and cannot write her own material

this versions stinks about as bad as all the other loser bands today making remakes because they cant create

[DrunkMillz79]

No No No No this isn't better than XTC, however it compliments their brilliance. Nouvelle Vague is for the seasoned New Wave, Post Punker who appreciates to reflect on music that grabs your soul and confront your fears in all while being sung a lullaby. The only thing missing to enjoy these tunes is grandmas rocking chair.

[KimonoX3]

I like both versions but I have to say that nothing can beat the original on this one...

[meust67]

je préfère xtc... mais très chouette reprise !!

[thebeastofpr]

Epicness ... such a deep song ...

[Ilsepils1995]

Better than the original from XTC.
