ub40-food for thought

[stickyra1000]

This song is about famine in Africa and the uncaring west. World Socialism is the only answer.

[ja5peruk]

[Ramatulai1]

[LeanderRandom]

Oh well... food for thought...

Get well soon Ali

[seanreillyireland]

Where did it all go wrong?

[lewisner]

@seanreillyireland When they realised they could make loads of money - probably about "Red Red Wine". I remember my dismay when when I heard that.

This was one of the crucial songs of 1980, totally summing up the bleakness of Thatcherism.

[seanreillyireland]

@lewisner Yes, so much of their early music was simply magical.

[oneminutewithprod]

I know some may disagree but I think this is their best song

[23jayred]

Ivory madonna,dying in the dust,waiting for the manna, comin from the west .......

[soulschoolboy66]

Total rubbish as they were as a group.

[777philip]

These were a fantastic live band back in the early 80's!

[guv859]

Great song. Pity the became a covers band little better than Westlife.

[bradzbluz]

amazing voice enouth said

[SuperTruth77]

David 'Kid' Jenson... easy to mock, until you look at the fake 'urban' sixth-form idiots who people the corridors of Radio 1 today. Chris Moyles didn't get paid for two months and it was still a waste of the licence fee...

[pilgrim069]

early ub40 is cool, anything after and including some of bagarridim really sucks

[brianwilson49]

its easy to forget what a good band ub40 were when they started. not surprising considering what they turned into.

[YourFavPissStain]

How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?

Think about it...

[DAVEYBOND007]

@YourFavPissStain He drives a Volkswagen Golf GTI Mark 1 . Obviously ! Check out the ad ? or maybe you already have.

[juleslove2u]

UB.40. POLITIANS ARGUE, SHARPING THEIR KNIVES,(HOW TRUE)...REALISM UB40 BROUGHT REALISM ...

[leonel457]

[NOINTOT]

Maak a pipe ek say !!!!! Hey beastybikes !!!!! This song brings me back when i was in South Africa in the 80's... All my youth in this music and smoke!!!!!!!!! Dope was so cheap at that time..............Nevertheless such a great band .................

[beastybikes]

Makes me want to smoke dope again just like in the summer of 1980 in south Bermondsey SE16 ,and what was that pub called near Somerfield House ?

[thepinktent]

there were so amazing when they started-then they got fat & bland

[09scruff09]

Daniel from Sweden

[kevintheshedend1976]

Still sounds good after nearly 30 years.

there was loads of English working class talent around back then. eg; Madness, The specials, The Jam, Selecta, The Buzzcocks, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Marie Wilson. . . . .

Where's it all gone?

[topbluffa1]

its sitting here blazing weed.

[kevintheshedend1976]

Ha Haa. Good luck t'ya

[topbluffa1]

by the looks of it they blaze to cannabis leafs all over their guitars :)

Ali sings this song so nicely;  love it.

"Food for Thought" Happy to know Ali knows Jesus. Best wishes Ali.

[MehefinHeulog]

what a shot that was back in 1980...

echoed sax still rings

Kid Jerkin, where are you now

[FloMonKish]

that guy was pure epic I agree

[connorbcfc1875]

Birmingham city fanss song!

[FloMonKish]

I was reading their history on wikipedia and they got real big cause of this song so I thought I would come and listen to what it was, as soon as it started ahhhh, I remember this song now, pure legend

[blackpoolfc123]

blackpool fans sing sing the sax bit at the start sounds great with our drum

[wassupfaka]

I will never get tired of this song. We're still listening to this almost THIRTY years later, and it's still "hip" and modern in its sound.

[Kartoonisacrip]

does anybody can give me chords please??? this song is so greaaaat!!!

[colutd1]

wow i agree with some one thats a bloody first lol spot on 1 in 3 when its re released in 2010. col utd was the 1st town mentioned in 1984, now thats food for thought.

[charlo1968]

Agree with Jafalad. One in Ten/Food for Thought versus Rat in mi kitchen!!!. A cover band after their early success. Love the early hits and this is a classic

[jafalad]

My favourite UB40 song-all downhill after this:every song the same just like a Phil Collins number.

[kefkomz]

bullshit mate,theyre still rippin it up

[plophole]

All downhill after!? Haha, was this not their first song?

[siasti]

Even if they had only done this one song, they would never have been forgotten. Luckily they weren't a one hit wonder.

[breakfromdanorm]

unbelievably underrated group

all 8 musicians have been in the band since 1978. absolutely brilliant

[gaz676]

wrong they split up earlier this year as the singer wants to pursue a solo career, i was lucky enough to see one of there last ever performances in december, top group

[snijbone]

me too in rotterdam! :)

[puccalight]

Superbe chanson...

[Alirocksmyworld]

Shame Ali and Mickey left

[MEMBER078885485885]

UB40 have not split up 1 bit! there just gettin started mate!

[callumc85]

cant beleive theyve split up,they were legends!

[merseyside]

brilliant ,early UB40

[compaoskar]
