awesome song, it came into my head for no apparent reason and i didnt know the name of the song or the group so googled the lyrics and found it.......then found it on here so thank you for uploading it and making a "old man" happy once again!!!
and yeah maddymad i agree, thats when music was music not a bunch of money making idiots just making a load of noise
Ich habe dieses lied nach vielen vielen jahren das erste mal wieder gehört und es versetzte mich sofort wieder zurück in die 80er jahre. Ein hammer geiles lied!!!!!!
Brilliant song from the 80's. I loved it then and I still love it now! Only, I'm not 14 anymore as I was back then...... Makes me feel really old!! The song has a great 'feelgood' factor to it. I agree with maddymad12345 that 'those were the days when TOTP was a great tv show' and I always watched. But then the 80's was a FANTASTIC era in music and I still can't get enough of it now!!
This is one of the most outstanding songs ever to make the British Top 5 - fresh, zesty, original and packing a positive message. It still cheers me up.
have they no shame with the miming - not sure i can hear the glockenspiel played all the way thru the record, except occasionaly a very synthetic one from a keyboard, nor would it play very well with a flute lying across it anyway. As for the drummers, well a drum machine doesnt need 3 people to operate it.
What a great song and what great memories have just flooded back! I was in my early teens when this came out, the 80s were a great time to be a music loving kid. Thanks so much for posting this awesome song.
I remember them whilst I was visting family in the Netherlands in 1985. I was just coming out of Bienkorf (Department Store) and there they were. I agree two very nice fellas - they stayed and chatted for along time.
Great song but the in the TOTP appearance I remember the camera stayed on the three drummers as they started at one end and moved down. One guy messed up and made a funny face and I was hoping this was that version.
I remember this as well. I think the drummer actually did a slow 'double take' at the camera's low angle. IIRC the drummers were session musicians brought in, but the audience liked the girl drummer so much they used her in the videos!
Oh wow, I remember this, gosh that was some time ago. Ahh, those were the days when TOTP was on Thursday evening as someone mentioned and there was so much great music on it in those days.
I remember that our friends would not call when this was on, but the minute the closing credits came on we would either rush round to each other's houses to discuss the number 1 or to borrow the VCR tape used to record it - and I'm talking early 80s to early 90s here lol
great song was searching for this on limewire , found it in the end , great song great upbeat music i have this on vinly somewhere,and for america , very underated band great live performance on top of the pops as well
brilliant! yep, great song yet you never see it on 80's compilation! feelgood song. and takes you back to those super times of TOTP on a thursday evening!
I never even heard this record even the three years that I have lived in the UK between 1986 and 1989 until I bought the compilation CD called "Living In Oblivion Vol. 4". You'd have to shop online or a used music store to find that CD, really. BTW I love this song.
i agree it was/ is One of the most under-rated songs of the 80s, im 29 now and some of my friends say they dont know this song, (untill there hear it) two great peopl in Uk music, great
I get knocked down, but I get up again...oops, wrong song, but a similar chorus sounding wall of sound. This song is far superior, and the video great. Love this song. The 80's rocked.
A huge top 5 hit so often overlooked by the 80's retro brigade. Signified a new direction in music circa 1985/86...great stuff and thanks for posting!
Singer looked ok playing the guitar..quite cool...by the end of the song he was looking a bit of a tit!
