Billy Bragg - She's Got a New Spell

[locandro1]

One of my favorite things about this video has been watching all the shots of the young people enjoying themselves so much. Wish I could've been there back then!

[zaitesushion]

Hahaha I love this. I would bum Billy so hard.

[raahead]

brilliant

[JoeCampbell175]

@philchelt I even love this song! but everything about this is wrong in every way. The horrible cheesy horns sound effect on the keyboard, the dancing and the melodica just tops it all off for me! A music legend looking like an absolute fool.

[WARRIORofHARDCORE]

it's better to have something in your hands, he had no idea what to do with them!

[EshnehGaming]

He looks like Charlie Brooker haha

[LASARENASGETXO]

It´s a great song !!! One in the soundtrack of my life...

If you want, you can hear a precius version of the spanish group LA GRANJA that they traduced as MAGIA EN TUS OJOS (magic in your eyes)... don´t loss!!!

[binkerama1]

wow- Morrissey enters Billy Bragg's body and looks like he could have been a New Kid... wow.

[deathandnightingales]

haha. I love oul Billy, but this his dancing aint even Feargal Sharkey standard, never mind Morrisey! fs!

[JoeCampbell175]

Oh dear. I proper love billy and this song but this is awful.

[quemfalouquefuieu]

Morrissey's spirit in Billy Bragg's body.

[thejollylama1]

Wow, so young



[mikenayl]

hey, leelem--you look okay!



[RagtagRabbit]

what year was this?

[lavertelu]

@RagtagRabbit

It's from 1991.

[lkmrn325]

What a cool dude.

[elsmeerss]

funny funny - learned to know the guy's music when I was 18 (20 years ago) and saw him only last year with grey hair... great to see how he looked ages ago!

[lemongrapesfilms]

Workers playtime has to be my favorite BB album

[maztheman95]

whats that piano instrument thing?

[itfaria]

@maztheman95 that is a "melodica" (aka blow-organ or key-flute) :D

[llfrederick]

Very nice, now I have a new Halloween theme song. It does make me wish they had worked this out for the gigs I caught (Ann Arbor and Indianapolis - great shows anyway). Who knew that "New Spell" would even work on banjo? Then again, last year I saw Gillian Welch and David Rawlings do a rousing version of "White Rabbit" using banjo for the lead. Most bizarre, but fun. Wonder if that's posted anywhere.

[Babyhowdy233]

Billy is charm personified, I love to just WATCH him as much as to listen to him! :)

[purplepiggy63]

One minute she says she's gone to let the cat in The next thing i know she's mumbling in Latin!! Classic

[TheVillageRake]

'She cut the stars out of the sky, and baked them in a pie" What a great great line.

[ThirdEyeOpen123]

i love billys dancing.

[suggs59]

yeah Gumbay Dance band !!v funny Reluctant !!

[SepradistPhantom]

What is that instrument at 1:35 ?

[BritLadyatHome]

@SepradistPhantom dont know but they were all the rage in kids toys once upon a time - we had one in our dressing up box!

[navcrowds]

@SepradistPhantom

It's a Melodica

[Reluctant5]

Its the campest dancing Ive seen since the Gumbay Dance Band.

Go Bill!!!

[mekosilvar]

did you see that black chic in there I think she got killed that not it was on channel 7 new's.what a shame.

[frankdis]

I love this song. But watching him perform is painful- his movements, whether natural or contrived, are just not something I want to watch. I'm going back to the record.

[adobea]

Haha, I've never seen him move like that! Sweet :)

[magsieboy]

Billy Bragg was my hero when i discovered real music, Spy Vs Spy, Talking With The taxman etc, Fantastic, my favourite tunes are The Warm Room,Levi Stubbs,Ideologies,New England and The Man In The Iron Mask,he is a genius and amazing live!!!

[DeuceTupelo]

I just broke up a relationship because I had one of those lightning bolt moments where I met a girl who "stole the script and the machinery" within about 20 seconds. She's with someone else but such is life. Billy gets it right every bloody time

[wairuauriaw]

bass player, bike pants,,,, no, bad no

[theradiostillsucks]

I'm torn as to whether it's the same level of no or worse than nu-metal bass players' affinity for jerseys.

[sloanscreen45]

Wiggy plays guitar....

[killyrboyfriend]

Mr Bragg has a case of Jazzhands.

[Reluctant5]

Billy suits camp! Fantastic,

I might just stick around for that common ground you mentioned!

[hkby08]

La mejor versión: "Magia en tus ojos", de La Granja.

[DutiusAndersson]

I especially like the moves around 0:56 and 0:59

;)

Thanks for the vid!

[sweetassugar3239]

maybe he should do dancing with the stars...

(totally kidding, I don't even really like that show aha)

[EliAlEim]

La Granja: "Magia en tus ojos"!!!!!

[Leelem]

[adiebattin]

You are a special child !!

[Leelem]

[BritLadyatHome]
