Simply Red - The Right Thing

[JTACIJ]

@69 ,are you serious

[Valkyrie9292]

This song has so much energy. That boy got some moves,now! Excellent back-up vocals and bass. I remember dancing to this in the clubs...what a fun and sexy song. As I have said before- Mick Hucknall is a god.

[Jan9902]

He moved on

[10461RESTHAVENDRIVE]

Awesome! What a BRAT!

[1985ivandrago]

my memory is walking to the fleece in wortley leeds to collect glasses, listening to it on my walkman, sunny good times, just left school

[Samuelfcampbell2003]

Simply Red in 1987. It was taken from the album Men and Women. Nice Hit !

[sylviorr03]

it's cool

[Coaljet]

First time I heard this song, I was driving by the airport and a Boeing 727 had just begun its takeoff, leaving a big smoke trail behind it. For some reason, that is the first image that comes to mind every time I hear this song, even after all this time!

[thejacalofskaro74]

@Coaljet I remember the first time I heard 'crazy in love' (Jay-Z and Beyonce), and everytime I hear it now it reminds me of a tranny bar in Paraguay. Ahh, great days.

[rouguy1972]

Great song!

[jingles95]

great running bass

[vonanus69]

the only good song they had.

[vodude]

@vonanus69 Nah. They had several great songs. But this is definitely one of their very best.

[DaveWollenberg]

Mick Hucknall and the boys hit #27 in Billboard, 5-16-87. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

[MeBenHalpin]

Love this song, defintly one of Simply Red's most underated.

[ThePag09]

This song is great!!! But, the lyrics are unbelievably wrong. Still, makes for perfect music! ♥

[MrBESS4]

Every morning when i wake up i should remember this song.

[beatletat]

That guy on the trumpet looks like gorden ramsey lol

[sana1999]

love it!!!

[085walshie]

brill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!



[Dazlee0010]

fantastic song, love it so much.

[FrDidde]

12 years old my first concert ever with my father in denmark.... and still it´s the best

[bluebottle08]

Feel good song!

[katiesweeney00]

I can remember mowing my lawns with this on a 'walkman'....gee I was high tech then....lol..... singing and bopping along in a bikini like an idiot in my own little Simply Red world...lol :)

Cheers from Australia

[alberzeta]

Bassist... wonderful!!! Outstanding music!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[reba651]

[MrFofinha2010]

Adoro esta dele...vix qd ele veio no Morumbi agitou até...tudo de boom

[mursaat]

Yeeeeeeeeeheee

I won't give up

I won't give up

I won't give up I won't give up I won't give up I won't give up now

I'm hard now

[nogoodusernames667]

I'm Gonna Do The Right Thing Babe. Just wait a little longer ... :)

[Darcal2]

Their best song imo. Mick's performance is outstanding, the backing vocals are great and I love the little guitar riffs. I also love the way the song builds up and up. A true classic.

[vodude]

Why the heck didn't U.S. radio ever play this tremendous song & "A New Flame" on the radio? I & millions of other casual fans had the impression that Simply Red only did ballads. Not hardly. These guys could really rock with the best of them!

[pargaluvva]

Simply Red at their best?!

[pargaluvva]

This is when Simply Red where at their best!

[UpperPaleolithicMan]

Absolutely superb "blue-eyed soul" from Simply Red. What I love the most in this great tune is where the chords change at 3:07 - the 7ths sound so good!

[scottmrdoch]

@UpperPaleolithicMan nice to hear sum 1 knows musical chords lol

[Renderclippur]

7 people didn't press the right button

[GVike]

What does it for me is the bassline...

[mytubebits]

SIMPLY RED HOTTTTTTTTT

[ChrisWard29]

my girlfriend thought this was tina turner singing when we heard it on the radio lol great song all the same though :-)

[7878Roland]

@ChrisWard29 I was also thougt that was a duet with Tina Turner. But great song indeed

[katiesweeney00]

@ChrisWard29 Ha ha, bless her :)

[beatletat]

what a happy, cheerful song, mick hucknell was a brilliant song writer, simply red were very unestimated, one of the best bands of the 80,s and 90,s.

[saketorasan]

SIMPLY RED／The Right Thing 朝の

スタートダッシュを付けるのに最適な曲、ベースランニングがイカ­シテル。

[Dee046]

[punkxfreak1]

[kimo1371]

[samovarnikov]

[primo2316]

[margherita955]

[margherita955]

amo la voce di Mike e amo questa canzone!!!

[TruthBToldcuttheshyt]

OMG how I love this song, it takes me me back to when I a kid

[tomstickland]

Whatever you think of Simply Red or Mick Hucknall you can't diss this song. It's a gem.

[Caniball77]

His voice sounds like the one or the singer or Genesis

[Valkyrie9292]

What a sexy little song. Always one of my favorites. Mick Hucknall is a god.

[uhegbu]

Like the track a lot. My earliest memory of it was while I was on a school bus listening to Capital FM singing it.

[maxxxx1972]

yes dudes but...what's the RIGHT THING?

[weirdo4lif]

im only 15 and i know every single song. i love simply red. there farewell tour was amazing.

[Xerxes1688]

I used to despise Simply Red because my mom listened to them over and over again, but deep inside I liked the songs. Weird isn't it. Reall, they rock and Mick is a god. Also, this song is about sex or at least that's its innuendo.

[walco30]

Esta canción ..... siempre escucho por la madrugada... y me hace bailar..... .... es una buena música de este gran Cantante SIMPLE RED ... ojalá regrese de nuevo en este siglo

[Meggraziani]

that wonderful stage presence! I love it!

[paulinefraser]

fantastic song ... cant wait to see them live in glasgow in december

[tangerino222]

buon giorno amore mio.

a presto

[Jan9902]

I think I saw them on Top of the Pops with this song, we bought the album. One of the most sexy songs going!

[puacino2]

Great song and video !

[alraki1000]

die rooie kan zingen

[tigerblue35]

The best band ever, why don't we have music like this anymore?

[TheMjblades]

@tigerblue35 We don't have music like this (and all the other great stuff of the 80s anymore) because stopped being about talent & turned into manufactured bile for mindless drones behind sharp-suited tossers who only cared about squeezing as many dollars as they could from all the Madonna-lite worshipping dildos out there. Oh well...at least Simply Red kept going & were not fozen out like most 80s talents are these days-a bit rich when their sound is all today's tossers try to go for.

[FourthRO]

Boy was sooo hot! Still is!

[Daytripperify]

Ei brothers and sisters

look and listen Oghi "Dance Balance"

these guys are wonderfulç

enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[feefee451]

Innocent me.... for the longest I only listened to the chorus..."wanna do the right thing" and had no idea what he was REALLY singing about. Silly me! Mick certainly makes me "wanna do the right thing", LOL. Have to go take a cold shower now, excuse me!

[fabiocsilvaks]

am I wrong or the girls with curly hair dancing with Mick is susanna hoffs?

[chaxiraxix]

Genialll !

[interflite]

[MyJimbo55]

[DaveWollenberg]

Should've done better in the US than only #27 in Billboard, right, gang? How'd it do in the UK? God bless!

[zatzi87]

a nice summer evening, out in Germany, an open air gig, with a river just beside, people listening all around, great mood, and THIS song!! :) one of my best days EVER EVER EVER until now!!! Thanks to this band! I love Simply Red, forever!

[paulasunyer]

[dematrio60]

la parte finale di questo brano m'ha accompagnato per tanti anni nel mio matrimonio, ringrazio Dio per i miei 2 splendidi figli ed anche la mia ex moglie perche' con lei ho vissuto le emozioni di QUESTI SIMPLYRED...CIAO DA REGGIO CAL.

[FrancescoRomeo77]

Fantastico.

[Hulk2k6]

This song should have been used in The Commitments, due to the fact it's a real soul song about Ridin' (In a Sexual Manner)...

If you read the book you'll know what I mean.

[onliifusuckmycock]

legend!!!!!!!

[DRJ73]

Number 11 hit in the UK.

[teldense66]

Guuuaauu...que recuerdos aquellos del 87,contaba entoces con 21 añitos...toda una gozada.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #27 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK?

[anaissarah]

[jeff5748]

[drage1862]

I didn't know Mick Hucknall was Amish.

[michaelfanthom]

@drage1862 Hahahaha!

[marymack1]

Is this song about what I think it's about...?

[MRJACKSON19581]

Damn he ROCKED this song..MICK is awesome! WOW!

[manelandreu]

de lo mejor de los 80, sonido ingles con un bajo potentisimo

[Pusher786]

Prime Simply Red. They never improved on this I think....'I told you to stop. It's slippin' out a lot. You told me get lost. Where's your understanding?????????........­.............'

THIS IS RUDE MAN!

[Pusher786]

I told you to stop, It's slippin' out a lot. You told me get lost! Where's your understanding??????

THIS IS RUDE MAN

[primmaballerina]

Whay can´t I be the woman dancing with Mick? ♥

[revistaespejonet]

Pues un rolón de aquellos años 80, recién redescubierto y que forma parte de mi casete 49 (uno de los que contienen temas más identificados), buena onda y gracias.

[luisferx]

I told you to stop, "You're sleeping out a lot" U told me get lost, where's your understanding I feel it now much harder than I've ever done now I'd better do the RT I'm gonna do the R T Feel I'm getting harder now, get off your back 4 Get on top more ow! Feel I'm sinking farther down, get off your back 4 Get on top more In the middle of the night, when the time is right Sexily right, I'm gonna do the RT Gonna move you slow, much harder than I've ever done now I'm gonna do the R I'm on fire

[porcuspine]

i love the bass line...something incredible...

[paazei007]

Not to belittle their current bassist, but I think their first bassist was the best. Shame that I don't know of other projects of him after Simply Red.

[Hulk2k6]

The original lineup was fucking wicked.

Not to say that Heitor, Gota, Dee etc who followed weren't good.

It's just this bunch (Mick, Chris, Tony, Fritz, Sylvan, Tim) were different and the most recognisable batch.

[andytillott]

Get off your back four! Get on top more!

[TheScorpiana]

my is forever you the ++++++

lOVE iT (& hIM) XX

[MsCosetta]

[gilles1303]

[dontudare100]

One of my favourite songs at his concert earlier this year (Feb 2009)... we had so much fun with this one! Although it is hard to pick a favourite as all his songs are great :) Hopefully rumours are false about it being his last tour.

[dontudare100]
