  • what the fuck?

    

  • Great song, great drumming. Thanks for posting.

  • that bit with the multiple drummers at 2:49 got me going back in the day, Loved it. Such a great tune.

  • an anthem of the 80s!

  • has a definite anthem quality about it !

  • LOVE THIS SONGGG i was looking for it =)

  • Wow. Have the record but that performance. They do not make records or write songs like that now.

  • This is a very great song!

    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!!!!!!

  • brilliaant great band !!

  • finaly tracked it down loved this song since i was 15 long time ago, brings back great memoirs.

  • I love this! so want to do the drums like that!!!

  • playback...lol

  • Forgotten 80s song!!! great to hear again!

    Didn't know it was from Red Box.

  • I remember buying this on single. Can't believe it's been 25 years since this was in the chart. Where did the time go?

  • 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 song was very powerful in the 80s and it has had such an impact on ppls lives its even more powerful now

  • geez...I was 15 yrs young when I loved this song! where do the yrs go?

  • hw brilliant is ths song? omg its top!!!!

  • Superb song,80s at its best.

  • Simon Toulson-Clarke what a great talent, a marvelous group that sticks out in memory of the 80s !

  • 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.

  • they're releasing a new album i believe

  • yes it will be released soon, the album is called ' plenty '

  • Brilliant!

  • something made this song come into my head ,,ahh where the years gone ?? lifetime ago

  • Oh the memories of high school! Excellent!

  • the 80s comes flooding back with this classic

  • My girlfriend at the time used to love this. Hi Jenny Painter from Henfield!

  • 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.

  • i was just finding out the joys of wanking when this came out, still enjoying it although supplies much lower

  • hahaha, very funny comment innit27

  • great song,they had a great follow up,we needed to hear much more from these guys

  • Oh my gosh! Pls bring back TOTP and the 80's!!!

  • i used to fancy the female drummer.she still looks hot with that red hair! wonder who she is & what shes doin now . . .this is still a great track.

  • could u go more tom cruise wide?

  • 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.

  • Great song ! i'm 48 in April oh my GOD !

  • Thnaks for that now im all age consciuos too!!!

    At least we're from that generationa an it's priceless!!

  • These were the most nicest guys ever met them on several occasions fab!

  • 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.

  • These Were The Days When TOTP's Was A Great TV Show, And This Group And Song Are Why, So Much Fun.... Where Are These Guys Now...?

  • they are in the middle of recording a new album for relaese soon and cherry red records have just released the old album from 86

    hope this helps

  • things are never what they once were......This brings back memories, i was 15 lol great stuff the 80's

  • Excellent,Happy times.

  • Classic tune, one of the best in its day. Remember giving the single as a xmas prezzie when it was out.

  • Yes, I remember the girl drummer on the left. So cute!! Wow. I wonder who she was or who she is. Any ideas??

  • 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!

  • Good news the LP is being released in the uk on the 20th October 2008, only taken 20 years he he .... Must go and by this so so good...

  • Great song from the 80s, love playing this.

    Have it in my collection if anyone wants me to send it.

    All the best

  • does anyone know if a backing track is available for this song im an entertainter and im after this track cheers

  • 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.

  • Yeah, Thursday evenings @ 7:00pm. The TV highlight of the week.

  • 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

  • One of the greatest band on earth. Watch out for their new album in 2008!!

  • 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!

  • totally agree with you - and you are right you never see this on any comp albums

  • the version on itunes is not the origianl... sounds like a chip monk on itunes for some reason!!!!!

  • I would like this song but can't spare 79p!

  • Or on Itunes for 79p

  • brilliant song.does anybody know where u would get it on cd?

  • 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.

  • thank you i have just bought it on ebay

  • One of the most under-rated songs of the 80s. Remember seeing this performance on TOTP when I was 17. Brings back memories. Thanks for posting!

  • 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.

  • from the very very young to the very very old.

    sounds like my life story :) great tune

  • ~*_______*~ great song...memories....woo..

  • i still love this song, especially seeing this live performance brings back memories....i'm showing my age now....LOL :-)

  • Great!

  • Really great!

  • Arh...memories,what a great sound. Shall be singing it all day now lol.

  • 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!

  • simon toulson clark has to be the most underated songwriter ever...a complete genius

  • wonderful song!! thanks for posting it!

  • I'd forgotten all about this song. I used to love it - thx for posting!
