[jimmod123]

[SarahSmith666]

Misheard lyric

I used to think it was 'we dont have to rely on pot nooodles and authority...

[BurntOakTree]

The song that predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the old regimes of eastern Europe over four years before it all happened.

[cockneymrb]

[jimmod123]

[SarahSmith666]

@jimmod123 Maybe you pasted it wrong its &fmt=18

[DCFC79]

[dmwpot]

I couldn't understand what he was saying. Anybody know , in a nutshell?

[tuftybox1821]

@dmwpot

walls up = bad; walls down = good.

[dmwpot]

@tuftybox1821

Aahh, ok. Thanks very much for the translation.

[bonesstorage]

[b4con94]

[Charlotte2076]

Where is the music?

[zomhby]

no sound !

[Elconquistador69too]

@zomhby same here!

[DANNYM35]

I cringe when I see Weller dancing like Will Young. Thank god he went solo.

Get a fuckin' rickenbacker in your hand, get a decent haircut and a black suit on.. and then sup and your beer and collect your fags.

[emmooldmod]

did i see susan tully on the tram ?

[wozzi71]

weller is a two faced cunt he goes on about his class hes from woking not soweto he was in a band earning at 18 hes been wraped in cotton wool for 30 years he would not know a fucking real person fron jesus christ and that fake london accent all surburban kids put that on just to try and fit in hes such a fucking fraud

[happentodie]

eastern european audiences displaying why they are the hardest partyers in ze whole vurrrld!!!

[SOYUZ1968]

The music sounds like George Michael's songs

[TheFridgechucker]

love weller, love his music. but anyone who is pussy enough to believe labours bullshit and vote for them should embrace euthanasia

[Choefoe]

Great song and performance,love SC

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

@JackMerrettOriginals You stupid cunt read what I wrote! I am glad he has the opportunity to send his kids to private school - good for him! But in the 1980s this third-rate tin head of a musician was shouting "Vote Labour" which was party committed to abolishing private education! And it is nauseating this left wing twat of a champagne socialist is trying to be a child of the working class! BOLLOCKS!

Pop stars live off moronic non-thinking idiots like you defending a millionaire! You fool!

[twistedsistaqteu]

i wonder after 13 years of a totally awful labour government who have ruined this country, he`ll bring this out as a re-release in the next 4 weeks?

[roblowefan1]

@twistedsistaqteu an I would buy it - come on , you remember how the tories screwed genuine honest decent hardworking folk for 18 long years, please think back. He's a good man and I'm sure his kids will go on to make the country a better place with their degrees behind them.

[jds14]

boolocks

[dean0waterz]

the Polish were not very impressed.

"What the fuck is the meaning of this foolish libertarian bullshittings? They sing of unity?!....This is NOT approved!..."

[oreilg1]

polish are a tough audience

[BFRVamp]

I've just search for the soundtrack of Dr. Psycho. Yeah! Great song!

[jasper12366]

way ahead of his time!!!

[DuosHabet]

On this song Weller's as the same vocal level than a Bowie in his Ziggy time..

[sirdunkel]

The video was shot in Poland

[freekmunky1]

top top choon.....nothing more needs be said... fuckin brilliant... wonder were this was shot.???.. thought it was Prague( the trams r the same colour there.. but it 's obviously not Prague)...mr Weller/Talbot and Miss D C Lee.... thanks..loadsa luv.xxxxxxxx..p.s.. thnx 4 postin thisXXX

[GameBoyz2]

good song to listen to in the morning

[yai1963]

this song reminds me when i was a fresh man in univ.

but this is very first time i watch this vid.

love this song and weller.

[DebbieLore1]

Adoooro! Sempre! Paul, que voz, poder, atitude! Maravilha!

[dandg2]

Weller looks soooooooooo camp here, haha.

[CFCarePOO]

Not quite as camp as on Long Hot Summer video where he lies down topless next to Mick. Oooh-err Missus.Not even George Michael would go so far at that time.Where's DC Lee? Still rather like Evelyn Waugh he went on later to sire many a sprog in happy heterogeneity.

Possibly the early 80's experimental ACDC/New Romantic/SuckIt&See/AnyHoleWil­lDo influenced phase/vibe/vogue?

[Bite008]

The biggest audience of dead shits ever. Wouldnt know a class act if it was rite infrint of them

[Choefoe]

@Bite008 It is in front ot them,point proven hahaha;-)

[GoinDownToJunkieTown]

@Bite008 , hahaha, i think its a staged auidence for the music video mate, not a real live audience, lol, but yeah even still they are a bit inanimate

[halcyondays1andy]

the dustpile,your a nazi

[hausekar]

Halcyon like good old upjohns? The mad mad blue ones?

[kingkobra180]

class song

[boogerking100]

Dustpile, it's sad that we breathe the same air. See ya in oblivion after that whole god thing doesn't pan out.

[Aardvarked88]

Yes, it's a well known fact that school headmasters receive written instructions from the government telling them to make their kids listen to Bob Dylan.

You have the intellectual capacity of a garden gnome, stop creating nonsense conspiracy theories to try and make yourself feel intelligent. Your profile and your uploads are hilarious, typical far-right nobody.

[MRTUBE1224]

paul forverer.........

[dreadz808]

Style council was great....5**** Paul Weller the man

[part2001]

oh, thought it was an anti communism song, silly me

[StanleyWiddos]

this is good but I preferred him in the jam so much more, the way his hair is in this is just so faggot like and wheres his original awesome clothing? (mod)

[xwingclass]

paul is so talented but he should have stayed with the Jam wasted talent.

[StanleyWiddos]

totally agree

[AnElephantsChild]

'You don't have to take this crap.'

One of the best opening lines to a song ever !

[BeastOfGuinness]

@AnElephantsChild

Amen! :-)

[zxcv1234vcxz]

@AnElephantsChild - Better still:

"Are you going to be threatened by Public Enemy #10?"

That's a reference to 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's residence in London.  Thatcher was the PM at the time the song was written.

[meepeer]

What town? I´m from Eastern Europe also, but non slavic country.

[devonlongbow]

Leipzig. East Germany. From there I visited Poland,The Ukraine,The Baltic states:(which are beautiful)-and Russia, which is not.Travelling and staying in Russia was more difficult than India!

[11levo]

Looks ghey !

[adakam75]

A gdzie to było nagrywane wiem że pod pałacem ale konkretnie gdzie? Z góry dziękuję.

[isbilia70]

I´m not a Brit, and I love TSC. Just enjoy the music, if you like it. Infantile political opinions? Maybe... but there also many love songs which are exactly the same, and we still like them....

[MisspentYouth70]

Music and politics should be like religion and politics don't mix 'em.

Sang some quality songs did Paul both with The Jam and Style Council.

[NorseJohn]

Hehe.. a posh, pathetic boy who has infantile political opinions.

Walls come tumbling down!!

Well, let's see how the former commie eastern bloc states did when a panzerfaust came their way :)

Walls went tumbling down.. lights were already out - system had already fell, no unity.

I hate that cunt .. cant even remember his name.. the lead singer here.. he looks like a cunt, and he is a cunt.

[Aardvarked88]

You're the only cunt here, fuck off you sad prick.

[devonlongbow]

Couldn't agree more.I remember London's Agitprop wankers in the 80's posing as workers and then saw what their Brave New World meant when I lived in Eastern Europe.The Red walls came down not when "Militant Theatre" and Popstars whined and posed but when brave Czechs, E.Germans and Romanians fought corrupt fucks like Ceaucescu were shot like the dogs they were. Happy New Year.

[NorseJohn]

What makes me laugh about this song and video, is that you have these very down-trodden citizens being sung to by these middle-classed girly-men with funny haircuts about how great communism is.. never fails to make me chuckle.

I think communist ideas died when they saw this show. They only went along to the filming of this because they got a free jacket potato and cabbage stew... Look at 2:58 - that bloke is just munching on his borsht! The crowd look very unimpressed at best.

hahahaha!

[digenovafilm]

guess you gotta be a brit to enjoy this song fully...

[martinevans123]

dear polydorclassic's -

some great vid's

but even Pauls mate's

dont want

those aberrant apostophe's

wall's???

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Paul Weller eh? A man of the people and strong Labour suppporter! Streaky long piece of piss! his kids are in private school - not a real socialist are u you Paulie boy. Good for you and your kids but don;t act the fucking labour supporter bollocks!

[LollieSmith]

Thats the BrutalTruth!! full of shit, like they all are

[devonlongbow]

Couldn't agree more.The original angry young twat.I was a mod back then and have to say he made some cracking songs but I wasn't the only one who got pissed off with his preaching and all that red crap.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Two more for the list!

Billy Bragg labour supporter who has affinity for the miners. He must also have affinity for the poor Bajans in Barbados seeing he has a luxury villa out there! FUCKING HYPOCRITE!

Then we have Ben Elton - the four eyes ugly litt;e cunt of a frog. Mr AntI-Estblisment " Yes indeed Mrs Thatcher" A good friend of Prince Charles and went to President Bush's inaguration! TWO FAVCED UMPAH LUMPAH LITTLE SHIT!

[devonlongbow]

Add to that list : Sleazy Mick Hucknall and that whining scruffy cunt Geldof,what about all those "alternative comedian" freaks like Mayall,Brand and Sayle etc. and those Red Wedge maggots/faggots that descended on the giant turd that was Labour to help get that criminal traitor Blair elected? The list goes on and on.

Pol Pot would have taped a plastic bag around their heads but thats a bit extreme.... isn't it?

[Mitchell89Oasis]

people cant stick to their beliefs all their lives. how you feel as a young adult will gradually fade away. ye ok, what they've done is try and be bold, but well its more than you lot have done. all you lot have are some angry words on a social network. their art made a stand, cant knock any1 for doin that

[Aardvarked88]

How long did it take you to work out that you could choose not to listen to him if he pissed you off "with his preaching and all that red crap".

So many ignorant morons, he's a commie now? Lmfao, fuck off.

[devonlongbow]

First you listen..then you decide.

Can you follow that...still with me-little light beginning to burn somewhere in your dull wigger hip-hop addled brain.

You gobby li'l' twat.

[Aardvarked88]

Speaking in riddles makes you look like even more of a twat than your pseudo-intelligent rant against Paul Weller did.

[devonlongbow]

Riddle ? I can't make it any easier for you so I shan't try.

[seny31]

paul weller... GOD

[Miloseb12345]

jam are better

[carlos7217]

even when weller was in his 80's period,he was cool,...!!!

[david552]

"Governments crack,

and systems fall,

because unity is powerful!

Lights go out,

walls come tumblin' down!"

brilliant lyrics to have performed in the Soviet bloc...

and just 5 years later...

[kalistalev]

It may be seen as heresy but 2 me this was the last great song to come from weller. Luckily its really great. :-)

[wehatemagz]

Dee C. Lee is absolutly gorgeous. The song is awesome and Paul Weller must be a dick for letting her go!!!

[kirkbyla]

saw her on a vid recently and she still is a stunner

[slaverrich]

well well nice song reminds me off dr psycho

[cmonupies]

What a bunch of fuckin wankers. Anyone fancy givin their addresses out.

NAZI scum OFF our streets!!!

[ZombeeXTC]

germany ftw lol

[chriscolville]

piss off.style council were better than you being born. retrobrate

... wanker ! :D

[cmonupies]

Hmmnn...not only were TSC better than me "being born", so were The Jam & indeed Paul Weller no argument there, so I`m not quite sure what thread your on or whether u understand the comment u replied to? - I thought the bit about "Nazi Scum" mighta givin it away & the far right-wing comments that went before. [though some are now deleted]. So whos the "retrobrate"? [Great word btw!...if meant that way?].

So keep up ...wanker ! :D [Weird name mate!].

HappyDaysToytown!

[FloorOfTheForest]

This is the kind of music that Teen Wolf listens to. Teen Wolf doesn't give a fuck.

[ZombeeXTC]

look rich who gives a fuck.fuking pc bollox pisses me off if he calls black people coloured people thats up to him.who ever invented this pc culture should be shot

[salm365]

We go white when we are scared, blue when we cold, red when we are embarrased, green when we are sick, yellow when we are juandiced, brown when we are suntaned, orange when are tv stars and purple when we are mad.

And we have the nerve to call black people coloured.

[ZombeeXTC]

your fuked in the head right?

[riich73]

did someone use the word 'coloured' to discribe race? Sorry is it 1963????

[fightnukka]

lol ya it really doesnt fucking matter, at least he's not dropping the n-bomb

[TheFridgechucker]

I know this is 6 months down the line, but coloureds are very much alive and well in south africa, in fact, apply for a job and you will be asked ...black, white,coloured,asian or other on application, coloureds are mixed race you see, and dont qualify for affirmative action positions...too black for the previous white regime, and not black enough for the current....just some useless info for you

[Lottie1223]

coool song!

[oasisqwerty]

Same thing man

[subedeithemongol]

Always loved Warsaw's Palace of Culture - superb example of Socialist Realist architecture.

[ickeman]

wedge haircuts were not good.

[oasisqwerty]

Thanks man, Jesee never knew that. Cheers man

[thunderwarrior2012]

CLASS

[oasisqwerty]

Whats the coloured ladies name again anoyone?

[saweston1]

Dee C. Lee, who was Paul's wife at one point.

[pythongoon]

Coloured ? Don't you mean Black ?

[oasisqwerty]

Best Council song this !

[m1s1green]

Vive la proletariat!

[jonahstevenson]

[psyche073]

[bornkool]

You guys play great music...

[goonerash]

[midnighttilldawn]

haha nice one yorkie..how about,

as funny as a fart in a spacesuit? lol

[Onelegheathermills]

Ah I remember the first time I heard this. I must have been around 9 or 10, and it just stopped me in my tracks....

[whirlpoolzend]

Still stops me in mine Hettie, still stops me in mine!

[Happy250505]

the best song the jam never recorded

[applebeatle]

And didn't the audience look bored shitless? lol

[whirlpoolzend]

The audience is pissed off as they were expecting Vladimir and his amazing spoon playing bear ventriloquist act...

[theyorkshirewhites]

whirlpoolzend...

Shut It !!

Fool !!!

[whirlpoolzend]

Oh I get it.

This was the bi-annual Leeds United supporters get together and youd managed a front row seat. Damn.

Weren't the Whites relegated that year?

[theyorkshirewhites]

You're about as funny as a turd in a swimming pool.

[whirlpoolzend]

Touche! :)

[theyorkshirewhites]

Touche' indeed...you don't want to cross swords with me young man..En Garde.

[bubba5000]

So was I.

[tes74]

Hahahaha... Jesus christ moaning people shut up.... that was funny.. this is THE Paul Weller.. (granted dancing like a girl!!) But the audience arent exactly a barrel of laughs are they!!!

[martinbond2003]

The Jam?

[whirlpoolzend]

@ Happy. Agreed, that and Solid Bond in Your Heart!

[adakam75]

Fajny clip i Warszawa sprzed ponad 25 lat.

[awizator]

piękne 13N i na 3:06 jedna 105-ka...

... telewizor, meble, mały fiat... oto marzeń szczyt...

[les69op]

It was filmed in Warsaw in 1985. "Live" shots was recorded in the former famous jazz club "Akwarium" - now in the place of club is a skyscraper hotel "Intercontinental" and the Warsaw is a different city...

[kubush2002]

Fajny teledysk. Piękna Warszawa i jej modne tramwaje.

People! We invite you to Warsaw. Nowadays there we have the same tramwaje. But Warsaw is a lovely place. Fall in love with Warsaw.

[awasala]

I can remember it! WARSAW

I just was in Warsaw then...

Thank you PAUL WELLER!!!

[fubeca12]

I think the walls they were referring to are the Communist ones of the time which is why they were filming this where they did.

[wezatch]

Bad hair day for Weller. Even though he is a great musician. Thanks for standing up for common folk Weller not many did or many do.

[biboca68]

I love this hair cut!

[Anglichanen]

was this in Berlin?

[wojbiacz]

Warszawa

[Varsavianist]

It was in Warsaw

[awasala]

Weller -

I'd love to drink some bottles of polish vodka

with you! You are amazing!

Never mind someone's grandfathers!

ps - great audio preview!

[citadelofchaos]

paul, you picked the wrong crowd there mate, i think my great grangfather was in the crowd , he was a skinhead at that time.

[awasala]

do you remember this city?

or do you know this city at all?

has it changed much since the time Paul was there?

still remember our short meeting in the Stalingrad Street though...

[NewMusic89KCFV]

Twas one of those songs which will never die to those who heard it on NEW MUSIC 89 KCFV - 89.5FM KCFV/Ferguson-St. Louis --- great Weller jammin' tune (kinda intended the pun)! Style Council made soul-pop-rock worthy of all the predecessors and imitators.

[cinecyclist]

man, that back up singer is sooo cute! where is she now?

[EZrob]

check out Dee C. Lee

[lobdsk]

pancakes are delicious

[geordieboy79]

A brilliant song from a very underated band.Weller is the coolest man in music.

[ALY960]

my fav style council tune! brilliant!

[NACRUDLEA]

Great song Shame about the hair.....

[brighton59]

Weller is God, the Modfather of my generation
