i've always loved this song...couldn't believe it was a couple of hot black chics singing it when i 1st saw it...wow, can;t believe i'm this old either!!!
Don't forget the "The Smiths" bite. Let it go good people. This should be free enough for everyone to enjoy. I think these ladies, or this fine group, only had the one hit and are now probably trying to milk it since new ordinances have come forth dealing with the possible prosperity of youtube videos in the past 20 years. They're just scratching for every dollar. No matter. Enjoy while you can...
go fuck yourself WMG - digital rights managment will not work - maybe if you werent so fucking greedy you would soon discover that people are happy to pay for musi - we just object to being ripped off, s you can line your fat cat asshole pockets.
When I lived in London, Stoke Newington to be exact, I used to see these girls walking along the high street. Great Song and Great Memories. WMG YOU AREN'T SO HIPPY!
Always loved this song even though back then I was pretty committed to being a guitar totin' rocker. It's simple... but then most brilliant hits ARE simple.... what isn't simple is comin' up with it in the first place!! Thanks to WMG I had to "use my imagination" here. Oh well... that's copyright law I suppose. Nice post regardless!!
WOW.... WMG...hahahaha talk about dinosaur mentality. All they have to do is get in on the "Google Ads" thing. You know... as the copyright owner, they could EASILY allow you to post this... and then just pound it with ads. That would help alleviate their precious "potential lost revenue" rant. Other copyright owners are doing just that... allowing the posting of copyrighted material... but bombarding the video with ads... which IMO is quite fair. Thanks! ~KK
Get Loaded in the Dark hits the Coronet on Thursday 1st April 2010 and is set to be another sell-out episode!
The incredible Black Grape will headline their first ever Live Show since 1997, including amazing performances from The Sunshine Underground, Young Fathers, Jakwob and Grum!
Get your tickets at TicketWeb or visit getloadedinthedark(dot)com for all news, info, line-ups and much much more!
So let's see...they will not allow people to post this song on YouTube so that people will go buy the album. Good.
Now we need to ask the question: How many of today's 20 year olds would know what this song sounds like so that they will go buy it? None. How many 40 year olds will buy it today? Again none, most of the people that loved this song back then would have already bought it.
I think you've just about summed it up. Can't believe the attitude of WMG. Watch this space when the big 4 become the big 3 or Bill Gates buys them all out with his petty cash. Unbelievable!
Just FYI, everyone -- WMG puts all their stuff on imeem -- you have to sign up to listen, but it's free -- Not sure if this will post because I mentioned another web site, but it's not exactly a competitor of YouTube. I'm not an agent for imeem or WMG, just found the music I wanted, I can see others are looking for it too, so thought I'd pass this along.
@apislapis Yeah exactly how do these idiots think we find the music we have been looking for especially the more obscure stuff from the past. Actually I think this is a plot to keep us focused on the crap music they are pumping out at the present which is over compressed autotuned freaking shit.
Good job, WMG. Nigh 80,000 YouTube viewers now hate you specifically. It's bullshit like this that really breeds ill will towards record companies. You really wonder why people feel good about file-sharing music? You greedy, petty, DRM-happy bastards. Thank God for the internet and the technological ability for bands to now self-produce. May the digital age grind you to dust.
"Hippychick" was brilliant, and I`m gutted to see the audio removed. What ARE WMG up to? Cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Dopey dopey dopey.
A music video is essentially just an advert for the song. I can't believe any sane company removing free advertising in any walk of life. Get a grip you fucking pricks.
Just seen this - for what it's worth myself & & the twins, who are still operating as Soho do not approve of the removal of the audio and, in fact, WMG don't own the rights in the UK, so I'm not sure they have the right to ask for its removal at all. It's particularly ridiculous when WMG have just re-released four of our albums around the rest of the world and we need all the promo we can get! Put it back on, youtube!
I've had so much positive feedback about hippychick, it's unbelieveable! Also unbelievable that WMG would do such a thing which flies in the face of reason. I'm pleased you feel the way you do, since I loved this song so much I felt it needed including on the global jukebox that is youtube. WMG still fail to see what a marketing opportunity this site is. It's not as tho' this is in HD! I really despair over the quality of judgement of the majors, I remain happy to be UNSIGNED!
So WMG wants the audio disabled because it's not "authorized"? Well, WMG can suck it! Great way to build good will for your properties. I already own a copy of the song, so all you've accomplished by disabling the audio is to PISS ME OFF!
Pisses me off too mate, as I own a copy of this on 7" single and CD single. Yet again record companies continue to bury their heads in the sand and annoy potential customers. This video is not the complete song and I thought this might encourage others to go and buy a copy of the recording, but oh no. Then the majors wonder why their revenue streams have dried up. As a member of the MU I understand copyright but I've had so many hits on this vid, I thought it might have acted as a flyer for WMG.
exactly mate! If i didnt just happen to stumble across you vid....I wouldnt have remembered it as such, or remembered a false impression of it as at the time of release i was young...and thought it was crap....but upon growing up and expanding my horizons i reappraised the song....shame you just alienate your potential customers WMG!
One of my all-time favorite songs! I'm probably gonna get flamed for this, but I think it's actually richer than "How Soon Is Now" - which is an important song, but SUCH an emotional drainage I don't really care about it anymore. Thanks for posting this - I had never seen it.
Thanks for this video. I have no idea about this song, I heard it on the 80's channel on XM radio one day. Since I know almost every song on there, I was pleasantly surprised to hear this! I absolutely LOVE the chorus! LOL "Won't make love to change your mind, no hippie chick!" Love it! I wish I knew this song "back then"! I had never heard of Soho, any other songs like this?
omg.just heard this in matalan and come home to find out who did it,reminds me of trying to pull in the clubs(un-sucesfully)in the 90s.great song.did dee lite do a version?
wow, this song sounded so much better back then, but back then I was always hammered and trynna pick up girls and dancing at the clubs, it's the only place I ever heard it. yup, it defintely sounded better then :/
you idiot this song samples how soon is now by the smiths a cover of how soon is now by love spit love is used as the theme from charmed, if you're going to be clever do your homework
How about you do your homework. Reading comprehension is a good thing. But to help you out, I will quote gaz for you.
"you idiot this song samples how soon is now by the smiths"
It's the VERY first line in his comment, but you just skipped over it and went straight down the sarcastic smart ass path. He got it right the first time and therefor your failure is epic.
For black girls I think they are cool as hell, but are they against hippies? Cause being against a hippy is just wrong, but I do love this song, yhis song reminds me of being much younger, they should have made more songs that were psychedelic sounding.
how fcking dare they.i know em; the short haired one is kermits sister frm black grape.tried to fight me in town tha dyke loooooooool suuuuuuuuuuuuucks
omg i heard this in like 1990 i liked it we used 2 like it i was in a skateboard gang lol the curb crew the days birdie snickers bubba pooky tully riddles erod beast squid sulldogg the pork fried pussy posse lol i dont no why i just spelled this shit but the memories clicked in lol
THATS what I thinking! I had no idea they were afro-american. In my mind, I totally imagined two caucasian girls with long straight hair dressed like hippies.
There were a lot of times where I heard a white person sing and thought they were black, but I have never heard a black person sing and thought they were white.
I was at this video shoot,bull & gate (kentish town) I believe.You can just make out Tanya from Vicious Kiss dancing in the crowd (crazy blonde hair extensions)!
1990 and 15 cutting class at Newtown High School in queens with my asian friends at their house {with"hippy chick" ona loop lol} to go to the village and shop at Rubber sole,UNIQUE,and Andees cheepee always ended up in some other asian kids house or a club in nyc lol.
The riff you are hearing is otherwise known as "the Bo Diddly beat". Its a 1:4:5 blues progression found in such songs as Whole Lotta Love by Led Zepplin, Desire by U2, Who Do You Love by George Thoroughgood, etc. In fact, both Hippychick and How Soon is Now sound like samples from the original opening of Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones. This is ones of the most widely used riffs in American Music. The Smiths didn't invent it and don't own it.
Good. Finally someone gives the due credit to Mr. Bo Diddly who did this sound back in the 1950s when rock and roll was quite different from what people consider "rock" today.
Oh, man. Thank you very much for this! I had forgotten how simple but effective this was. Indeed never a better use of a Smiths song. If possible could you please upload the rest of the ITV Chart Show Top Ten to which this clip belongs? Also have you got the specialist chart as well to upload? Massive thanks if you have. This clip belongs to either 26 Jan 1991 or 2 Feb 1991 edition.
I saw these pair of muppets being interviewed.When asked "was this your favourite Smiths song that's being sampled?" they replied "Who are The Smiths?"
Yeah, I admit I found this annoying when it came out ('cause I LOVE that Smiths song) . . . but this really is one of the best examples of sampling put to good use -- and a great song!
So glad this was here - I couldn't remember the proper name of the song and have been dying to hear it again. Great memories, many of them on gone but not forgotten dance floors. The gorgeousness we're allowed to feast on in the video is an added bonus :D
praised be soho, incognito, the shamen, electronic, njoy and all the other good UK dance acts of the early 90s. It was certainly a good time for dance music
Great song! Puts me back to the early 90s when I was 12. Very rarely played, I never knew title or artist, I've heard it recently in Netherlands at the outlet store after so many years and I googled so many times and searched in lyrics engines. But, suddenly, the text "no hip hip hip hip hip" leaded to a result.
I would recommend the CD called "Goddess" that the song comes from. It's still available. There are several good songs on it. Also, there's a cool song on the flip side of the cassette single. However, I bought another album by Soho and threw it out, I thought it was so bad.
I loved this song as a teen too. I remeber buying the 12inch about 3 times cause friends would steal it after they claimed they didnt like it!!! It took me years to find this and I just did on limewire a month ago!!WHo just died???
Thanx sooo much for posting this! It was a song that my best friend & I would dance to back in the day... she just passed away and this is extremely special to my memories! ;)
I thought a white woman sang this! Haven't heard this since I was a teengager! Thank you for uploading! I used to turn this song all the way up in my car going to a party, the good old days!
As gemêas do SOHO mandaram bem nas paradas de sucesso do mundo todo entrando no top ten americano..e Hippie chick foi sem dúvida uma das grandes canções que fez valer o ano musical de 1992.
Excellent song, and singer. This song is timeless and classic. Glad I saw this video. I don't think it made the charts, nevertheless, still have a strong favor for the song.
"Stolen" implies that they took it and used it without permission and / or compensation which is not the case. The Smiths (or probably more to the point, their label) give this the green light. It wasn't stolen.
One time I saw them at a summer anti-racism gig in Hackney. Not sure what they did to this song, that day, but it was so hard and strident and superb!!! Nothing like recorderd versions I have ever seen/heard...
I agree. I don't know why, but for some reason I have a strong aversion to Morrisey's voice. There are several Smith's songs that I really like until he starts singing.
I knew neither that they were black nor English. I thought they were...well, long-haired American hippie chicks. :P When I was in high school, the internet was not around to make us aware of such things. Alas, I cannot find Radio Soul Groove anywhere.
I thought the exact same thing about the singers (actually I thought there was only one). Did want to point out, though, that the internet did exist. But the worldwide web did not, and the idea of sending any video over the internet was laughable.
Saw them back in about 1992 supporting Jesus Jones (remember them!)in Middlesbrough and as I remember they were quite good. Thanks for this = brings back memories of the old times
i've always loved this song...couldn't believe it was a couple of hot black chics singing it when i 1st saw it...wow, can;t believe i'm this old either!!!

I remember this song! I still have the single cassette ;) It was playing on a preview of '90210' back in 1990 :)

The riff you are hearing is otherwise known as "the Bo Diddly beat". Its a 1:4:5 blues progression found in such songs as Whole Lotta Love by Led Zepplin, Desire by U2, Who Do You Love by George Thoroughgood, etc. In fact, both Hippychick and How Soon is Now sound like samples from the original opening of Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones. This is ones of the most widely used riffs in American Music. The Smiths didn't invent it and don't own it.

Good. Finally someone gives the due credit to Mr. Bo Diddly who did this sound back in the 1950s when rock and roll was quite different from what people consider "rock" today.

Oh, man. Thank you very much for this! I had forgotten how simple but effective this was. Indeed never a better use of a Smiths song. If possible could you please upload the rest of the ITV Chart Show Top Ten to which this clip belongs? Also have you got the specialist chart as well to upload? Massive thanks if you have. This clip belongs to either 26 Jan 1991 or 2 Feb 1991 edition.

I saw these pair of muppets being interviewed.When asked "was this your favourite Smiths song that's being sampled?" they replied "Who are The Smiths?"
Incredible but true.

So glad this was here - I couldn't remember the proper name of the song and have been dying to hear it again. Great memories, many of them on gone but not forgotten dance floors. The gorgeousness we're allowed to feast on in the video is an added bonus :D

praised be soho, incognito, the shamen, electronic, njoy and all the other good UK dance acts of the early 90s. It was certainly a good time for dance music

Great song! Puts me back to the early 90s when I was 12. Very rarely played, I never knew title or artist, I've heard it recently in Netherlands at the outlet store after so many years and I googled so many times and searched in lyrics engines. But, suddenly, the text "no hip hip hip hip hip" leaded to a result.

I would recommend the CD called "Goddess" that the song comes from. It's still available. There are several good songs on it. Also, there's a cool song on the flip side of the cassette single. However, I bought another album by Soho and threw it out, I thought it was so bad.

As gemêas do SOHO mandaram bem nas paradas de sucesso do mundo todo entrando no top ten americano..e Hippie chick foi sem dúvida uma das grandes canções que fez valer o ano musical de 1992.

Excellent song, and singer. This song is timeless and classic. Glad I saw this video. I don't think it made the charts, nevertheless, still have a strong favor for the song.

It's a STOLEN bass line.

What does that mean? They took it from someone else?
BabyBoomr 3 years ago
it's sample from the smiths "how soon is now." they actually just put funk in it.
ollieroks 3 years ago 2
"Stolen" implies that they took it and used it without permission and / or compensation which is not the case. The Smiths (or probably more to the point, their label) give this the green light. It wasn't stolen.

One time I saw them at a summer anti-racism gig in Hackney. Not sure what they did to this song, that day, but it was so hard and strident and superb!!! Nothing like recorderd versions I have ever seen/heard...

I agree. I don't know why, but for some reason I have a strong aversion to Morrisey's voice. There are several Smith's songs that I really like until he starts singing.

I knew neither that they were black nor English. I thought they were...well, long-haired American hippie chicks. :P When I was in high school, the internet was not around to make us aware of such things. Alas, I cannot find Radio Soul Groove anywhere.

I thought the exact same thing about the singers (actually I thought there was only one). Did want to point out, though, that the internet did exist. But the worldwide web did not, and the idea of sending any video over the internet was laughable.
