  • more megaphone effects please

  • it's too bad Matt became a 9/11 truther nutter... i guess he cared more about spouting off than people appreciating him as an artist. that stuff really gets in the way of enjoying music sometimes.. i need to lay off reading about what my favorites say, it's always a disappointment

  • Funky ass song there.

  • He 's a real genius although I have thousands cd's, Matt is always been my favourite composer writer and innovator He thetheize any stile with such a class that only him could do.I hope he'll be back on stage ,I've been waiting for such a long..

    Could any song from hanky panky deserved a place in the soundtrack of brockback mountains???

    an italian fan.

  • Matt needs to put the band back together again and put out some new material.

  • I want a smoke.

  • I saw them with Depeche Mode in 1993. I took my little sister(a DM fanatic) who was 13 at the time...she could've cared less about The The. Her loss...and I think I saw them earlier that year with the Cranberries.Once you hit 40, it all blurs into one big haze.

  • @ai2flesh FUCK YOU.

  • as an 80s child, this was the 1st song i heard of this band... they (he rather) are definitely underrated. I first heard of The The at a local Sam Goody Music store in the mall (remember those? haha). The title of the band caught my eye & i remember thinking "mmm, what an odd band name", but i wasn't gonna buy an album solely on that... then i heard this song on the radio in 1993 & i finally got a chance to hear em! Too bad internet wasn't around then or i would've heard of em a LOT sooner!

  • @pessimystica The internet was around then. Would you have Gophered them? I don't believe the mp3 conversion utility was available for a year or two after that, however. Still, it's nice to believe that back in the 80s and 90s we swapped songs over ICQ, or via BBSes at 2400bps.

  • @Meesterjojo

    well, of course it was around then, but only if you knew how to use it, & of course people had to have the most up-to-date computers. I'm talking about your average computer user... but most certainly, i would've looked up just about every 80s band that i was looking up in the late 90s. The only difference would've been listening to them a few years earlier ;-)

  • @Meesterjojo Wow... You must be really old. And you're definitely really condescending. The MP3 standard wasn't published until '93, so one would have to be pretty freakin' desperate to download a, what, 40MB? song through a 2400 baud modem. Most people have lives. Go get one.

  • Hanky Panky deserves another listen if you didn't like it.

  • Hell yeah!

  • Ah this song takes me back to my highschool days :)

  • underated masterpiece.

  • Dusk is a great and brilliant LP.

  • JOHNNY MARR IS A GOD-to me!!!!!!!

  • Holy Skippy - Forgot about these guys - Awesome! I was so in LOVE...Miss you Kate...

  • 5 people are in need of Viagra.

  • wow some haters in this bitch hating on the the, i think dusk was a great album i saw them live 94 greatshow at the cotton bowl matt johnsson good voice on that fella

  • This is a cool song. Never heard it before and now I'm glad I did. I like the singers voice and the harmonica playing. Thanks.

  • it's johnny blinkin marr

  • best  harmonica solo ever!

  • "I got the sweetest sadness I ever had"

    Killer lyric...

  • Gorgeous song - Vinnie Colaiuta on drums!

  • Dusk is one of the greatest albums in my collection. 

  • These folks can rock!

  • The harmonica really completes this song. It wouldn't be as awesome without it...

  • Comment removed

  • still one of my favorites.

  • Matt Johnson, absolutely devastating songwriter. One of the (sadly) unsung greats.

  • war cat

  • Dusk was the first album that brought Johnny Marr to my attention. I was wondering who was behind some of the awesome guitar playing peppering this album and when I found out it was him I was pretty surprised (not being a Smiths fan at all).

  • whqt a f u c k i n g tune :-)

  • Hanky Panky was NOT very good???!?!?? Are you FLIPPIN' INSANE buddy??

  • This song is sexy!!!

  • Have been hooked on The The since Infected. Fave LP is definitely Dusk although Mind Bomb runs it a close second! Matt Johnson *is* a genius, obviously. More colaborations with Johnny Marr would be good!

  • Johnny Marrs finest moments were on dusk!

  • matt johnstone is a immense

  • Love it :-)

  • Parece que o suor vai fazer a tela transpirar. As cores quentes ficaram perfeitas nesse som! Muito bom mesmo!

  • Kwol.R. T!!!!!! This just doesn't age does it?. Give me this and the like over anything of today.

  • yul brynner and matt j are interchangeable gods.

  • Again,THE THE( MATT JOHNSON )what a talent and a messiah worth wishing would reserect a vestige of music genius....for f**K sake save us from banality!!

  • we need him back defo, forget Obama - he's a mouse compared to 'our Mat'!!

  • Wrote "swet", sorry. I meant sweat

  • This song is quite sexy! Love its beginning! Love all that swet in the vocalist's face! It's really amazing and hot!

  • The The are the best, and there vids are brilliant, but you can only download 3 from itunes WHY!!!

  • try Spotify....

    ;-)

  • agree with you jke23...a totally underated album!

  • yes, it is great... and i love & miss them in general! i search for my absolute favorite song "GRAVITY" that i got as an old original maxi-EP, but i got no player any more :-( can anybody upload the video??? best greetings from berlin, tom

  • Time for a "hero's return," Matt!

  • One of the simlest and best sons ever. The man himself at his best.

  • Love The The...went down hill from dusk

    Hanky Panky....wasn't very good Naked self was OK....would love them to comeback with a killer album...one of the best band Ive seen live as well....Soul mining..followed by Infected followed by Mind Bomb followed by Dusk...Stunning...come on Matt .....

  • I totally agree. Where is he when we need him? I always thought he had an odd, beautiful, sexy voice!

  • Totally agree. Matt we need you. Come back and slay us.

  • Comment removed

  • @frazerrothko I agree with your view. Thanks for putting into words, what alot of us have been thinking.

  • @frazerrothko What was the reason for The The going down the hill? All I know is The Beat(en) Generation song from them.

  • you Tit stop writing overlong paragraphs

  • musical & lyrical genius

  • I agree with jke23. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. The music from Dusk never gets old, and it never fails to move me completely.

    Love you The The.

  • Dusk = One of the most underrated cd's of all time

  • @jke23 -  I agree with your views. Thanks for putting into words, what alot of us have been thinking.

  • Great, fabulous, terrific !

    I love The The from the beginning... to the end. Thanks Matt & never say goodbye.

  • I can say that the the is one of my favorite all time groups, matt johnson is such a talent, very under-rated. Dusk is wonderful!

  • A great rockin' song from one of my top 10 albums of all time (and Soul Mining's in the top 10 too). The harmonica, the guitars, the voice, the words. Johnson and Marr in one of there great eras- considering they made the 80s too.

  • my pusssy is wet

  • lol - lady lady your pussy's wet - lol

  • I normally hate harmonicas, but damn, this song makes them rock. Frankly, I don't mind any The The song with them, which is quite a few. Not sure who has the harmonica fetish with The The.

  • It's Johnny Marr, ex-guitarist (and other instruments such as Mandolin, and Harmonica and sometimes Keyboards) of The Smiths.

    Marr played on Dusk and Mind Bomb.

    His harmonica-playing is indeed different from the basic harmonica-stuff.

  • They also worked with harmonica legends Mark Feltham (Mind Bomb) and Judd Lander (Infected). Those two along with Marr are probably some of the best harmonica players that the 80s pop/rock/alternative music scene ever saw.

  • if any of you are aware of Matt's current "Save shoreditch" campaign. myself and a few of his loyal fans have decided to do everything in our power to encourage Matt to do a gig at the site to try and raise awareness for his cause. We think that with enough interest he might go for the idea. The plan is to get as much support as we can so if your interested in helping plz spread the word and join The The (and Matt johnsons) Face book and my space pages and check for further details.

  • this whole album is amazing

  • ¿ De qué habla la canción ? ¿ De masturbarse ?

  • Saw them for five bucks in a mystery show at he 40 watt in Athens, GA in summer 1993.

  • totally underated song. they played it during an nfl game as they were gong to commercial a couple years ago, and i was like "oh yeah that was a kick ass song"
