@redthumb11 Then he never actually listened to springsteen, he can be called many things but shallow in his lyrical content is ludicrous, around this time was born in the usa album one of his more lyrically solid albums with some of the most astute observations of american life and politics. I never minded prefab sprout and in some respects im not sure if its a total dig "the world needs it dreamers, may they never wake up" could be construed as a compliment
You know what people fuck todays generation of music fuck justin bieber I mean yeah he's got 500 million but when I hear todays generation and songs from the 80's and 90's it beats it by miles.
@hoodsxl Paddy ain't a dandy or posh like McCartney. I respect Paul for his songwriting achievements, but that whole patriotic/queen/knighthood thing turns me off him.
@Jorsalfar I know what you mean but you have to respect Paul Mcartneys opinion (he has written some brilliant songs) and if he says that Paddy is underrated I would have to agree!! Bet Paddy has never received any awards for his brilliant songs.
@hoodsxl I do think Paddy is underated, but I wasn't talking about that. I meant that a knighthood wouldn't really mean so much to Paddy, he's not as dandy as Paul. He's a guy who hasn't forgotten his working class roots. I suppose he's working class anyway, he's from Durham, right?
@Jorsalfar - Whilst I respect that Paddy hasn't moved from Witton Gibberd (Durham) I think that the working class thing is overated (eventhough I came from a council estate). Becos one of my fav bands to hav come out recently are KEane. Who always get slated for coming from public school background. But their emotional songs just come from (Tim the songwriter worked in old peoples home) lots of songs abt loss and being lonely and painful break ups. Which I think anybody can relate to.
@MsFuturestar1 Yeah ,sad to say but it seems to be the case that Prefab Sprout rarely get a mention these days.They were certainly much more than the usual Pop band .Their music was witty,melodic,embracing,engrossing and intelligent and really quite unique .
i grow up with all this music, my dad loved all this type of music, use to play it all the time in the house, i can remember when i was like 8 and i asked my dad why does he sing about cars is he poor :) Love this!!!
my mam used to serve beers to both paddy and micky in the white tun in witton gilbert their home village in Durham. She told me they used to tear up the beer mats and write their songs on them and she used to tell them off for it. They used to say "you won't twist at us when we are famous"....
one of the greatest songs of the 1980's. anyone who is listening to this for the 1st time are now familiar with the prefab sprout experience. paddy is a truly amazing musician.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
What a great song ("car sick"!). Seeing this after having watched their other videos, I notice that Wendy is being unusally sensuous in this one. And I've realized why: she's functioning as one of the two major thematic elements.
hey..gotta agree. heard this like over 20yrs ago on the radio and it stuck with me..sounds good still today!!! the mark of true gold standard musicians!!!
