Loved this Song growing up in the MOD revival in early 80's and dancing to it in local youth club. A SOUL boy now but a young MOD at Heart. Had the Parka with target on back and loads of The Who,Jam,Lamberetta's,Jam,Purpl­e Hearts,Secret Affair .... Little shop just of Hemel Hempstead Market had a roaring trade with little buttons and ties and mod accessories then of course a trip up to Camden....Ahh the days,

[xenoxiq]

@dinger67uk Bloody hell - I'd forgotten the "Purple Hearts"! - thanks for the comment mate.

[redjam3]

Thanks mate, was a mod in the 80's (i think we all still are in our hearts) i remember me n' my mates dissecting the lyrics of this to work out what to wear, even though we were too skint to put petrol in the Vespa 50cc special we shared, never mind buying a zoot suit. Keep it up,

[xenoxiq]

@redjam3 Ah hell, yes - as old as I am now I still lean towards "mod-style" when I pick shoes, shirts and trousers ;p Some things are there for good ;p

Take care Brother - cheers for commenting.

[redjam3]

@xenoxiq i'm long in the tooth myself but i still have items of clothing from the glory days, Jam shoes (Going Underground video) Spats (or Badger shoes) 2 boating blazers and one three button suit (black of course) suede on the jam shoes have seen better days though. An inspirational era that is best described as The Who album quote "a way of life".

[xenoxiq]

@redjam3 Hehe - I still have a boater, a trench mac and an authentic parka too. Maybe one day if my stomach isn't in the way I'll try them on again ;p

Cheers for comenting mate!

[redjam3]

@xenoxiq I had a US fishtail parka, really wish i held onto it and a cream trench mac, i've got the same gut problem, if i tried to get into my three button suit now there would be a ballistic issue with paramedics recusitating a guy with a 'no-button-suit' and forensics fishing buttons from the wall.

[xenoxiq]

@redjam3 HAHAHA! Very nicely worded mate ;p My mac was that military green most of them were - had a mate with one of the blue ones, but I don't ever recall seeing a cream one.

Thanks for the comment chief - keep 'em coming!

[kalikovisionmaster]

heard this in quadrophenia (sorry if that makes me lame) and fell in love

[xenoxiq]

Course it doesn't make you lame - don't matter where you hear great music does it?

Cheers for the comment!

[stOOpid68]

@kalikovisionmaster

it doesn't matter how you got here, as long as you're here mate!!

[xenoxiq]

@stOOpid68 Well said that man!

[cudaj2]

Hey thanks for posting this, such a cool song written from and with a bygone era.

[xenoxiq]

Aye - in many ways a much better bygone era ;)

Thank you for commenting ;)

[WWSuperman]

the best who song

[xenoxiq]

Certainly one of my favourites, too ;) Thank you for your comment!

[gremista]

i ve just listened to mysery by the dynamics. unfortunately "this song is a shameless rip-off of another song"...

[xenoxiq]

ah well - I still love it! Cheers for commenting!

[Maxipoo711]

As sad as it is to say, this song is a shameless rip-off of another song! The song is called "Misery", and it's by a group called The Dynamics. Go look it up, it's on YouTube.

[xenoxiq]

Hmm, interesting ;) Thanks for the comment!

[blaklazer]

cool i don't no why this was unsuccessful most of the who's songs are amazing

[xenoxiq]

You know how fickle people can be mate - check the "singles" release for the time this was released. Bound to be a track people went nuts over!

Thanks for the comment ;)

[ManoloSN]

Gracias por bajar esta canción !!!!! Buenísima !!! Grandes The High.....Who !!

[xenoxiq]

You're welcome!

[modsheff1]

nice1 FACE! great tune by the high numbers!

[xenoxiq]

Glad you like it Bro. Thanks for the comment!

[Cogniscent1]

@modsheff1 It's a terrific number, this. The sound is so similar to The early Who period generally. I'm surprised that more people aren't aware of this track from the early days at the Station Hotel, Harrow, and its namesake in West Hampstead come to that.

[tubeofrank]

Ahh you know, you gotta know, yeah you know yeah you gotta be cool.

Genius.

[xenoxiq]

Perfectly fits in with the whole "face" thing, doesn't it?

No wonder this band captured a whole fashion/way of life with lyrics like those.
