Fab song, good old brummie boys. This was video was taked at my grandads friends gym in birmingham. My grandad is in the crowd in the video and his friend don an ex boxer is acting as one of the boxing trainers. Im sure lots of brummies know some of the people in this video. UB40 will never be the same without Ali.
Ha-ha... I have a similar tale! Aged 12 I joined a boxing club that a good mate of mine had been going to for a few years. Now I was a tall kid and they put in to spare with a small kid (don't know why?!). Anyway the trainer says to me on the side "now take it easy with him" so we come together in the ring and he socks me straight on the nose with his first punch! Eyes watering I can't see a thing so I decide there and then that the "fight game" was not for me! Good fitness training though!
This song, and Maybe Tomorrow were part of the UB40 encore at the Saratoga Mountain Winery last night. They did not play either song last year. GREAT PERFORMANCE!
I am really surprised more people on this side of the pond didn't notice the depth that this video and Red Red Wine had in terms of storytelling.
The same characters, from the main fellow, his girl, his dad, his romantic rival, the two con men...all these relationships in their complicated selves put on display and believably portrayed in less than 3 minutes each.
Those clips are from only one single movie called "Labour of Love"..you can find here in Youtube in parts...a man fallin in love with a woman that had alreday a boyfriend..then she quiet of him..then hes gonna drink "Red Red Wine" to forget her...then in the end the woman choose him and saty togethet..pretty good film.
Tune, this song is older than me but i <3 it. Real Music.

This is a good video!
My boxing career lasted ONLY 3 minnits!
I got into the ring with this BIG black guy, he socked me in the chin and I did a 180....
after the stars cleard my vision and I wasn't seeing double..
I jumped outta the ring and said "Enough"
...it took FOREVER for them to unlace those boxing gloves!
