LMFAO! DOO IT, DOO IT!

[GINS7930]

i really prefer when Karl sings !!

[greenshaun]

they were using cool visuals back then too!  early tomato!!

[Colinmayr]

my buddy and I did an acoustic cover of this last night. check it: doot doot (acoustic cover)  on my page

[commanderkruge]

I just re-discovered this tune after watching "Let me in" - last time was back in the 80s on a reel-tape I recorded from the TV - cool song! :)

[futuristlimited]

Karl's voice ten million times better...

[caxxandra2]

Pee wee Herman that is, dancing at the end ... I think they stole his dance moves! Your quite funny m1ke btw. Good stuff :)

[m1kewithaone]

@caxxandra2 oh damn, i missed pee wee again!! im too busy using up all my characters here. you know what?have any of you heard "huto merta" by al di miola? yah 'cause it's a hell of a song too! and anybody that likes this song should also like " big town 2061" by paris, and actually everything on that album is great. and you probably already know this one, but just in case, you must go check out "reptile" by "church" i think they must have known my x donna when they wrote it so it has sentimen

[caxxandra2]

I wanna see pee wee j

[sweetsong70]

Just...offensive to the ears. :(

[eyevocal]

According to the Wikipedia page that links to this, these lyrics are in Welsh.

[eiffe]

This is neither English nor German, this is fcking scary!!

[gsmac1969]

@eiffe It's Welsh. Freur is originally from Cardiff, Wales.

[m1kewithaone]

@gsmac1969 they're not german?

[gsmac1969]

@m1kewithaone Nope! English!

[gsmac1969]

@m1kewithaone Nope! English! (well, Welsh - so OK, call them British)

[m1kewithaone]

@gsmac1969 ok, i don't know why i thought..... well probably because these words freur doot doot just sound german to me, my bad, thanx for the info, and this just tickles me pink to find someone else who likes the same kinda music i do!! for the last 10 yrs, i had two girlfriends niether of which liked my music, so it's just been along time you know? now, i have no girlfriend and so i can enjoy what i want. and i like the' korgis' everybodies gotta learn sometime' and 'shes not there' by zombie

[Manbi]

are they singing in english or in german?

[wadeut]

Help I am looking for the song called hey ho away we from freur anyone?

[fm29celle]

@wadeut i have the song /"hey ho away we go, b-side from devidl and darkness i guess. , write to me with your email. greetings from germany. i hope to find the original video doot doot in youtube.

[slangshotstudios]

this is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen.

[m1kewithaone]

@slangshotstudios yah, me too!!!!!

[almostdigital]

what a strange atmosphere. i love it.

[CircleLimit4]

I like this guys singing better than the guitarist. What's his story?

[jacza25]

vanilla sky:):):):)):):)

[Bonosbird]

That be Stuart Kelling :) Karl is on his right on guitar

[SerialThriller88]

WTF?

[Dswildman169]

Could anyone tell me who is on vocals in this video? Its not Karl Hyde...

[matthewroller]

This is awesome, but someone really needs to run it through an audio program and remove the hiss.

[mayyn94]

i like the english version a lot more

[tikidevil]

Welsh is a very unusual language. I remember interviewing Super Fury Animals and their accents wer crazy. I think Gene Loves Jezebel are also Welsh. Brian Jones of the Rolling Stone's family were from Wales. Mystical, hobbit land.

[nicck]

I can't imagine this making a good impression lol

[slingsby]

This was done for a Welsh TV show when they lived in Cardiff. Looks like their mate Stuart Kelling on vocals.

[tristan01101]

So. I definitely feel as if I've swallowed 7 ounces of lysergic acid.

[knightcdr21]

I've never heard this version. It is equally as pleasant as the other version. Is it me or does this version sound a bit otherworldly (listen at 2:16-2:35). It is like the early Welsh version of Sigur Ros's Hopelandic.

[dudes420]

HAHAHAHAH yeah okay youd probably like that wouldnt you ya fag? I bet youd want me to play this song too and go DOOT DOOT! well too bad i never will ya fucking creep.

[dudes420]

freur is a group of fagetron jew pies what the fuck is a doot doot?

[genericvideo1]

suck me loser

[dudes420]

doot doot is the doots.

[landonweb]

This is not FREUR!

Only an awful copy of a great song and unique band.

Please see the original video and band to understand what I mean.

[musicmoonlight]

This is so cool and interesting to see. They definately look like an art band, but I don't know much about them. I have loved the album version and promo video. It is a beautiful song. Thanks.

[feringhi]

This is a band that Zippy-the-Pinhead would have really been into.  lol

[Bravado2007]

...what a great "once in your lifetime" - song...

...and the outfits of the singer and the guitarist are plain hilarious...

...and who is this guy with his big wand on the the right side anyway?...

...and great dance moves on the left as well...

:)

[ionia23]

I'm still amazed all the people who lost their virginity to this song.

[mankchester9]

as any one got the tube version live 80s

[bubblehead58]

Why can't she speek English? Is she mental?

[vacamike]

Why can't you SPELL english? Are you mental?

[Kohntarkosz]

Wow! This is so strange! I've never seen this before! What's the singer's name? I take this is before John joined the band?

The Doot Doot album is a favorite of mine, an underappreciated classic of the 80's!

[thesacha1]

absoluteley it is so underappreciated.. i think it is one of the anthems of the beggining of new wave...

[knightcdr21]

I wholly agree, they were very avant-garde. They had a wide array of sounds that would eventually become established genres and sub-genres (shoegaze, new wave, synth, etc).

If that is not John on vocals, I too would like to know his name. The blurring of English and Welsh makes one think of Jonsi from Sigur Ros scant singing.

Is there a way to get a audio file of this version?

[DESNELL]

This is 100% Freur. Karl is on guitar, Alfie is on the left and Rick is on the right. Can't tell from this video if the drummer is Bryn, but judging by his movements I'd say it was him! Freur started out as Screen Gems with a different singer. This must have been filmed during the change of name and line up. Great archive though!

[Bonosbird]

@DESNELL Not Bryn, It is Steve Irwin. And the Singer is Stuart Kelling for this version

[m1kewithaone]

@DESNELL well i'd like to hear it but it seems to be having trouble buffering. do you know if this band changed there name to 'underground'??

[gsmac1969]

@m1kewithaone No, they became Underworld, not Underground.

[m1kewithaone]

@DESNELL hey how do you know so much about freur? this has got to be my all time favorite song. and also someone told me they became underworld, is that true?

[varflane]

had sex with suzie from woolworths to this, aged 17, good memories. Spig ,London.

[HitchcockBlonde]

Certainly looks like Karl on that hollow body. Although I remember him usually playing it strung higher on his body. Must be a very early iteration of the group.

Can anyone provide a translation for the introduction?

[quixoticquisling]

Here's a translation, no great revelations but she implies there was more Freur music later in the same show...

"Freur have been in Studio Star 2 before, some of them with Screen Gemz. They're a group of lads furthering music of the future.

One thing that's very difficult to do is saying their name, this is how it's spelled - Freur.

But without saying more, here's the group and their first song for today, namely Doot Doot."

[kenneymusic]

bizarre!

i had no idea...

and i thought i knew.

[spikee92]

nice girl :)

[beatlecorp]

Excellent video. And this is early Freur before Karl Hyde took over vocals. That is Karl playing guitar.

[mandingo1]

This has to be the strangest thing I've ever seen... A Welsh Freur tribute band... I bet they're popular with the blue rinsers.

[landonweb]

This is NOT freur...only a terrible copy.

[blaach]

Underworld

[DaliMontana]

Yes, they are singing in Welsh and English. The opening intro is in Welsh. I recognise the Welsh language.

[hamwor]

I was told in the 80s that Freur were singing in their own invented language but they came from Wales so I think they're singing in Welsh here which is pretty much an outer space language to English people.

[poesha]

That ain't like no German I ever heard.

[gailal]

My god and now in German ? one of my favourite songs.All heil Freur.

[mundi67]

This is really great!...Freur in the early years....and do I get it right?....with other (work)lyrics?
