The Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way

[sealeysonic]

they dont make um like they use to do...?

[straker1999]

This is one of the best songs of the 80's be it gender-bender or no ... great is still great ... have a nice day everyone :o)

[mermaidsinc]

Rock on 1985 all that gender challenging look what we achieved

[jam8o1874]

Is there a better intro to a song?

[mrsgritoli1]

Russia is a casi and i want my freedom.......Peter Cook

[gorrillazisthebest]

[jam8o1874]

[treicy80]

Don't Leave Me This gay

[sabe062]

I love this song and all music from 1980- 1990 :)

[elvenwishes]

I remember this song it was one of my friends and mine when we went dancing as we were classed as "The Others" as we were New Romantics and being girls liking this music seemed creepy to our disco loving friends. Jimmy has the most amazing voices and I miss this music at least it was played and not manufactured. And to all those who knock and bitch PLEASE GO AWAY AND PLAY WITH YOUR LEGO...let us all enjoy good music..

[footballgeorgiebest]

Looks like the bloke in the crowd wanted to show Jimmy a hard time.

[Gofkagschoice]

Jimmy singer hero.

[ultrastark1]

awesomness

[jp00w5941]

F****ing Brill

[MrPostmanpat666]

bloody fab....bring back the 80s x

[simonyj]

a very important song... (to me a least)

[brigham600]

Was at a wedding last weekend and all the men and the women were up bopping to this big time. Its a classic tune which demands dancing to.

[pb10538]

looks like the guy from bronski beat

[Jenibeth13]

@pb10538 sure is the same guy - Jimmy Somerville. What a talent!!

[thound2]

@pb10538

That's because it is.

[spungen96]

J'adore cette chanson !♥ beauf....mais si attachante !

[MrBlackFabio]

I always thought that was only a man singing. I didn't know a woman sang lead as well.

[therupertx]

He's got a great voice

[tinotrivino]

Cuando el movimiento gay aun era real, sincero, y sin animo de ofender. A dia de hoy todo ha cambiado, tienen sus lobis en el mundo del arte, algunos son tan radicales que se creen el drecho de insultar, estan de lleno en la politica y hacen la misma discriminacion como hicimos nosotros a ellos antaño... es horrible como vamos de un extremo a otro, lo mismo con la mujer, en vez de vernos todos bien e iguales ahora nos reducen a los hombres en el pene...en fin...

[ThePanzerfist44]

is the drummer the same girl from fun boy three ?

[bonitajordan]

@ThePanzerfist44 The girls with Funboy Three were bananarama.

[mortygirly]

Can I listen to a song on youtube without any bitching in the comments section for once. God damn. You idiots ruin the whole experience. GO AWAY!

[mortygirly]

@mortygirly don't bother bitching to me about this either. the chatter of fools that inevitably starts after a statement of truth doesn't interest me

[aGingeAggrieved]

@mortygirly Aren't you also bitching?

[sarp07able]

@mortygirly Please don't bitch here!

[grazyna12325]

Nie ma co komentować. To moje najpiękniejsze latam Miałam ich wtedy około 20. Nic nie stanowiło problemu i wszystko wydawało się możliwe. ........ Jak brutalne okazało się życie....

[SherylAnnSlaughter]

[kazziemum]

i saw the communards way back in'88, at the bristol hippodrome, we were up in the bleachers, and his voice was absolutely pure and brilliant! and i still want to get up and dance!xx

[gordyuk68]

this is a great track i defy anyone not to dance to this if played in a club anywhere

[veda1954]

For the younger ones watching, at 3:55, that's an early version of a mobile phone. And all you could do with them is call someone!

[jeca667]

[aeronuk1]

Sometimes cover versions can be better than the original...this is one of them.

[modob11]

this song very very charming . its the best in that time

[SauronsEye]

This would be much better if they had a better male vocal.

[veda1954]

@SauronsEye Come on, Jimmie makes this song. One of the best covers ever.

[VanZijl1]

The piano part at 2:31 is from Patti Smith's song Horses.

[veda1954]

@VanZijl1 Wondered where I might have heard it before.

[TONYSPURSMAN]

[greenbluekites06]

[irishravr63]

@greenbluekites06 FICTION

[veda1954]

@greenbluekites06 Is that what sent your vocal chords up there? Nothin to be ashamed of.

[irishravr63]

@veda1954 " couldnt give a flying farquar" never heard that 1 before lol, I will need to use that 1 when i am mixing in certain circles lol.

[figbat1]

[september7891]

@MrStheobald i met jimmy in london i was walking past a pub in soho comtons i think the name was we had a bit a argument he is a scottish nationalist and i am a english nationalist so we had a deep conversation for 2 hours not nasty we was interested in eachothers view point but his boyfriend got jealous and i am not gay i just liked his music but we talked about politics.

[antszabo]

All this talk about his sexuality and no one has mentioned the fact that he looks like a human potato!

[Stubby24525921]

After all these years it still makes me want to get up and dance!!!!

[doekoeitje]

2:54 "You take the blue pill – the pain ends, you quit YouTube and pretend you've never seen this. You take the red pill – you stay in this world of pain and I show you how deep the ...hole goes."

[morfeus0809]

Great. I miss those days. The best music of 80´ Really

[veda1954]

Look, half the music world is Gay, so get over it. Doesn't matter. Comments like "ooh he's a bit queer" are totally irrelevant, we've all moved on from those Carry On films.

Listen to the song and enjoy.

Jimmy's a great little dancer, it has to be said (and for the record I'm straight).

[jimmythenutbrain]

enola gay

[veda1954]

@jimmythenutbrain No that was OMD.

[gimpster02]

[RossTaylor09]

[Snakey2012]

[the1musiclad]

@Snakey2012 - except they didn't really 'make' this song.

[Krashdavus]

If this song didn't get you on the dance floor back in the 80's, then you didn't have a pulse. One of the best dance tunes of all time!!

[CZ61600]

Much better and more energetic than the original version by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes.

[JTKelleher]

Great to see Richard Coles on the piano before he became the Reverend Richard Cole - clergyman and radio show presenter. great in all those roles mind you.

[novaera5]

In those days we didn't even care about who was the singer,how he/she was and what he/she was and it was all about the voice and music....now it's only about sex and image and fast profit....
