Chumbawamba - Revolution (Liberation/Stagniation)

[rhinoofdeath]

its from revoultion



[MMxvx]

Chumbawamba is my favorite band. They're brilliant.

[kamoor9]

wow.

[tcdahn7]

1 person is a millionaire.



[acampadabidasoa]

Oso ona!

[MrArmySkull]

who make the draw...?

[Musixux]

Sounds more like Crass than it does The Tubthumping Chumbawamba. thie version I have of this is great but this is WAAAY better, I can't believe I've never heard it

[kampfgolem]

What album/EP is this from? It's amazing.

[fallguy127]

Fantastic track from years back. Remember this from fairmead social club in Whitby and always one of my fave bands. Highly original and still telling it like it is. If people say Crass Clone this isn't really a bad thing. If it makes people think and question life and themselves and look for a brighter future then this surely can't be bad. Whatever or whoever Chumbawamba sound like is pretty irrelevant but what they sing about is what counts. Also they are damn nice people

[arnoklephoque]

You punk posers says they're sold out because they decided to follow their own way.

Isn't it the way a punk band should always behave ?

I don't think their early stuff is "bad", but I really think their later stuff is largely better and more "personal".

Early Chumbawamba is just another CRASS clone...

[Ecocide112]

@arnoklephoque ...just another crass clone. yeah, they do sound similar to crass, i dont see that as bad, and i certainly cant think of another band that sounds like crass. ha.

[b0mbcityrocker]

@Ecocide112 flux of pink indians is kinda like crass

[Ecocide112]

@b0mbcityrocker Yeah, youve got a point, but what im meaning to say is that there isent many. makes it sound like there is a billion of people that sound like crass. ;]

[b0mbcityrocker]

@Ecocide112 yeah, there isnt alot of bands that sound like crass, but lots of early anarcho crassturbates all over the place with their music

[b0mbcityrocker]

@Ecocide112 yeah, not alot of bands sound like crass but alot of the early anarcho bands would crassturbate everywhere with their music

[M4napalm]

everyone that looks up this song should look up

Zeitgeist: The Movie

&

Zeitgeist Addendum

[vegetubleman]

Yeah, nicely done mate. I'd give it 5 stars if I still could!

[Green87TNT]

This song gives me chills everytime I listen to it!

[DeadTime34]

repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition,

[krazykittykat100]

I guess this song is why HMV doesn't sell their stuff. Love this song.

[SHAOLINSINZ]

Sweet track meaningful and epic.

[ConspectuMortis]

I always thought these traitors were pop rock, but the early stuff from bands always fucking rule.

[Akheron80]

They always were, and continue to be Anarchists before all.

[jaymillwall]

top tune,sounds almost crass like(punk band)

one of there best tunes imo.

[Kmic14]

The anti-state comp is where i found it. Apparently there's a better, more pissed off but abridged version of it at the end of another song. Which song, however, slips my mind.

[omglolerz]

@Kmic14 It is in the 'Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records' release.

[ThatAynRandFag]

It's on "Anti-State: Anarcho Punk Vol 2"

[SWmarko]

really hard to find this song

[DrDoog]

This song was on the 1984 demotape, Another Year of the Same Old Shit. Where did you get this from? it's so good quality!

[bogshed64]

DrDoog, this version was a 7" single, released in 1985. It got into Peel's Festive Fifty at number 6 no less.

[wanderer1031]

too many people rotting in jails....

FO SHO!!!

too many cages to be the land of the free...

[wcarloswiliams]

This is very much like "..servants" from"Never Mind the Ballots. but obviously different what was this on originaly?

[damneduntodeath]

First heard this live when they supported Poison girls in 1984 - as relevant today as it ever was.

But you can't beat those Leeds & Bratfud accents lol.

[starbucksROX12345]

I GET KNOCKED DOWN

[burdurlucerkes]

chumbawamba gibi bir grup var mı ola...

[rambonga]

Thanks for posting this.

[b0mbcityrocker]

one of the greatest punk songs of all time

[wanderer1031]

i can't get tired of it....

[KriKruska]

where is old vid???!! lams...

[ixim23]

This music is so great. And these wise words - "always starting with revolution, always ending in capitulation".

That's why revolution should be begun again and again, in every little way possible.

[HirschTom]

old stuff

[i811st]

wasnt there also a song about unilever,used some of the same lyrics?

[insaniac]

If you listen to alot of chumbawamba music, they reuse the same lyrics, music, and replace things in various songs. The beginning of this song is the 2nd part of Dutial Servants and Political Masters.

[woody1230]

I love listenin 2 this :) the soundtrack to my childhood

[whisperingfox]

The 4 minutes and 43 seconds that you hear here is one side of the first single Revolution. With alot indie singles especially around this time (1985) it was not lifted from an album although the first abum 'Pictures Of Starving Children', which followed later that year, sounds similar in many areas. So if you like this, you'll love that. For their 25th Birthday they started the show with this. Everyone was quite shocked as it had been a long time since they had played it. It was brilliant.

[Ushouldabeenaborted]

I thought the title of this song was repetition?

[SOHASDEAD]

I really like the songs paired

[DirtyDay123]

Great song/songs, thanks for uploading.

Which album are these songs from?

[enterta1nment]

I have a version of it on "First to LP's" :P

[miakirshner09]

on the original single version, there is a rip from lennon's imagine. it is absolutely amazing. nice post dude.

[StanPomeray]

Somewhat superior to "Tubthumping"......

[elizaholting]

Thanks for posting this. It's great to see this song has finally made it on to YouTube!

[unpoliticized]

this is mouth opening, never heard such inspiring words.

[IkillChildren01]

may be those will be the words that will take off the 'un' of your nickname

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

@unpoliticized mouth opening?

[FerriBrodge]

Hey, whats the matter? There are two songs mixed up together (smth+liberation) or what?

[IkillChildren01]

yes, that's how i got the song... i think it's a very good and strong mix..

[caillou1966]

No 6 in John Peel's Festive Fifty 1985!
