DAVID ESSEX-ROCK ON

[Bert77ify]

Great upload, cheers love this song as much now as I did when I was a kid.....

[candizzle20]

Love this song thanks for the upload!!

[MrFerrango]

A studio song !, its all about the Echo, It would be hard to pull this off Live.

a weird Cool sounding track, no snare drum for one, I think a lead guitar would have been nice in there....Rock On !

[carnesaur]

man this sucks. thank god the smashing pumpkins cover wasnt an exact copy, it would have sucked hard

[SEVFEST]

@carnesaur..... you have no taste this doesn't suck it's called R&R Nostalgia and it's very good

[MrSunshine58]

By the way, I by no means critic the video... actually, i think the uploader wanted to show his affection to this song. And that I can only appreciate, even if the result is not my style...that has nothing to do with it....but restyling beethoven is not the same as beating beethoven, as a figure of speech. And unless u cant beat an orignal, keep ur hands off, is the message, i guess. There is no use of seeeing 3000 reinventions of the same wheel...

[IridiumRedTheOrigina]

I love this song, but wtf is up with the video? The video i always saw with this song wasn't anything wonderful, in terms of video quality or special effects or anything (just him singing in front of a small, close, live audience) but it worked

This video just seems to be an attempt to throw as much random crap up on the screen as possible.

I'm all for remaking stuff. Just try to improve on the original. Do something interesting. Somethign that fits with the song....

[MrSunshine58]

@IridiumRedTheOrigina Agree 100 % on that...however... expose that opinion (and add in the same time that you are of age 50), chances are 100 to 1 that u get reactions that makes you you ashamed being part of the 'human' age anno 2010. the critical point is here 'do something creative'.... all these midi-resample-qbase-look what i can simulate' studio's (that should create instant new popstars) are due to that...If only 2 % would 'do something interesting'...would be great. Utopia, i fear thoug

[jammermom1954]

i love this song and this video is awesome.

[mrskayladavis]

this song is so great! i like to be at the bar drinking when this comes on. it's one of those songs you can just get into and ppl look at you like "dude....what ARE you doing???"

[superdogbigmac3]

@pigletized u faggot you probaly like gay porn

[superdogbigmac3]

@pigletized stfu u like men becuz you r a faggot homo so shut up faggot

[Ministermistral]

I like to walk into dive bars with a swagger while this song is playing on the jukebox, well, actually when it's playing in my head.

[Boowitch13]

That's funny :)

[dusterman1000]

@Ministermistral funny

[sokristina]

@Ministermistral love it! Would love to be sittin in that bar when you came a swaggering in ;)

[lisadotdash]

@Ministermistral I'll remember that myself. Thanks!

[wakosoto]

great work with the video!

[lifenyc]

Great Song!! Great Video!!

[malcolmbryant]

How does anyone think up a bass line like this? It sounds unique.

[62imperial62]

Do you know what year this version was recorded? It is the best one. I've seen him perform this in the mid 70's and it stank.

Thanks

[Boowitch13]

1973

[awaji1]

Why has this song been in my head for days now? Just had to look it up on YouTube...

[HeedfulGibbon]

if u like this song watch Felix Cane - Miss Pole Dance Aus

[cracks21229]

Some songs just shouldn't be covered and this is one of them, in my opinion. I don't know if is that I haven't heard this song in a long time or the mix on this video version, but this was super. Great video.

[wooferdogs]

it does not matter who done the best version, this is written and sung by david essex, so to have bands as def leppard and s.pumpkins cover it is a big compliment to david from east london..

[2TRSRETURNSMFKRS7]

I LOVE this song, & you did & GREAT justice to this song with your vid...HOT UP!! 5X5 all the way!!!

[Boowitch13]

Thank you

[BadNews88]

A *classic!* And yet another ALL-TIME UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVE of mine from 1973..a *damned fine year* for a whole *cornucopia* of GREAT MUSIC!

Thanx fer this, m8...

[Ball1nX3]

Smashing Pumpkins has the best cover of this

[plunder23]

I think you'll find the orb does the best cover.. what a tune!!

[Peacenrespect]

Loved this song !! thanks for the post!

[psychohagis]

Adam Freeland did an awesome cover of this.

Only just found out it was a cover - heard this song on some other video.

[Boowitch13]

Cool,I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the info

[alonealotta]

This is great..have'nt heard it in forever...thanks for posting....=)

[cphillip28]

i luv this song!! I thought about making a metal cover of it?

[Boowitch13]

That would be cool

[joeze1111]

dont ruin it lol

[dinguscong14]

What is the instrument they use at 1:43? I've heard the same used in queen of the damned. It gives me chills.

[willieboy561]

Er.....It's called a violin.

[dinguscong14]

Thank you. I thought so and was told it was not by an aquaintance.

[deepwell07]

hilarious

[alicersas]

sssweet! TY

[liquidgee13]

Thanks for the post. The electro element still gives me a chill. Expecting "Little Bastard" to glide by every time they mention James Dean ... no one knows where that fucking killing machine is to this day, just disappeared from a sealed crate being shipped to a museum.

[ObamaObamaObamaObama]

Huh?

[terroristkillar]

Im not usually easily impressed by home spun video interpretations. I must admit this was an exceptional effort. Great post, thanks for your mindful creativity. The shots of Dean were priceless!

[Boowitch13]

Thank you. Sometimes I make music vids

just to take a break from worrying about what's going on in this crazy world.Glad that you liked it

[rrliled]

That's the jam, perfect way to come onto a stage, see The Verve circa 1995! Thanks Lion Man! Ron bonham~~

[aceofhearts307]

Rock on, Hell Yeah!!!!

[malcolmbryant]
