[oct201981]

CALL IT KITSH, CALL IT CHEESE , CALL IT WHAT U WANT BUT THIS IS WHAT MUSICAL MEMORIES ARE MADE OF .!!!

[englishsandy]

it's so bad it's bloody great,don't care about theses music purists who sit and disect pop music,it's kitch and great kitch.No matter who sang on the record it's pure kitch.

[MrDelPollard]

The only reason I am listening to this song is because I did that thing where you can find out what was number 1 in your country on the date of your birth. Well this is mine.

I hope I never hear it again :)

[TheNanucha]

Crazy facebook! Отстойная песня:))) 

[doynk2]

Old Lang Syne gone very wrong...........

[rwdONLY82]

This song sucks... And that was number one when I was born?! Fuck you facebook!

[TheNanucha]

It has never been the number one I'm sure. Facebook really disappointing.

[Frankyding90]

I think I recall this song being made in 1982... I think it's awesome that we still hear it in 2012! I'm a 1990's kid, and I love this song. Thank you for uploading! ^^

[thesleeps]

And someone throw that black guy in the background a sandwiche

[thesleeps]

Thumbs up if you were brought here by a facebook app; only to be thoroughly dissapointed

[DarkRaider08]

[thesleeps]

@DarkRaider08 beautiful? I think the listener has changed not the music; this offends me

[1busybeekeeper]

[RelativeBadger]

[ifyouwantblood100]

[catmando1973]

more euro-cack with nonsense lyrics that are lost in translation

10 out of 10 for having the balls to stand up on international tv with that bad hairdo (unless he is on day release from the institute, in that case it is sad exploitation)

[BiffFrog]

Is the coloured guy the one out of Boney M

He dresses and dances like him lol

[robinkane1]

Great stuff! Should re-release it.

[Rain2103]

Dream On - Only in Dreaming - not in reality possible ... ...

[2704angel]

[precinct]

seven turds

[cinecallao]

reminds of a resort

[ap5999]

Gyerekek ez egy Német banda, ráadásul Magyar taggal, angolul énekelnek, és kurva jól zenélnek, bármikor meghalgatom ha szól, de ha nem lenne időm akkor is időt szakítok rájuk, ők őrőkzöldek maradnak...! One hit wonders if i remember rightly,nice song though,,i bought my gran the single one christmas,ahh the memories are all flooding back..!

[Matthias1972]

Ein Wunderschöner Song,kann immer wieder hören. Das waren noch Zeiten.

[sweetieangels]

Awesome:x

So many memories... :x

[arissss1962]

Song is syrupsweet...But really beautiful and crystal clear.Well done!

[Hancockmaster]

xD. ist echt lustig, also ich finde ja Sun of Jamaica besser!

[centromarmo]

i love this band but this song is just one of the best songs ever,my gran loved it and it now reminds me of her(r i p)a great woman and a great song,i miss ya gran x

[contercraft]

the soul of this song is great

[89Sunny7]

Very good song, beautiful voice.

[lostvamp70]

Please kill me, i would rather die than listen to this again

[ROMagister]

Reminds me of ABBA - Move On !

Both great songs of a great era...

[axten00]

classic!!!!

[ruddiger121]

one hit wonders if i remember rightly,,,,nice song though,,i bought my gran the single one christmas,,,ahh the memories are all flooding back,,,

[PralinkovaPrincezna]

Wow, they are amazing, I always thought the main voice was a woman.

[airinthewind]

Esta canción me trae muchos recuerdos, es muy bonita. Saludos desde Gran Canaria.

[kevpunk]

what a hair !!!!!!

[tobispitzi]

beautiful nice sunny happy melody 5 stars !!

[cyrus1979]

super !!!!!!,pacat ca nu se mai face asa muzica

[vinigan4]

LOL.

[nelutu1962]

e melodia vietii mele mersi mult

[nataliebrumby]

This was number one when I was born, lol

[chessmoon]

I always thought this was from 70's, how was this NO.1 in March 82.

[rshw]

More precisely, this hit is from 1981.

[timtownie]

This should be the World national anthem

[rshw]

The right name of the song is seven tears and not 70's. In addition, it is from the begining of the 80's (not from the 70's). Anyway, it is a great hit !!!

[221164]

hay come on!!! jst like the song,

[623058]

I agree jakew66  I wont to see the music Viode of this its keeps playing on VH1 and PLUS the middle part does not exist - bit with the man talking!

[MJNSEIFER]

You are right, the "talk" bit doesn't exist, but did you know there's a bit missing? It's the talk bit, but as a song. It's the first verse...

[MJNSEIFER]

I am in to minds about this song. Also I'm confused if the saddness in the song is serious or comedic. It sounds serious enough here but the actual music video fetures a lot of "comedy crying" (Like when tears spray hosepipe-ish out your eyes) It really ruins the song.

[jakew66]

i remember that video. shots of laurel and hardy and other black and white comedy silent films.

[thehoodedclaw]

Said you found me helpless on the A47. Shouting out to passers by that Alan Brazil seems to be the singer in the Goombay Dance Band. :)

[concorde244]

It's Boney M in Lycra

[mick304824]

wow, this is the first time I have ever seen this video. I had heard this song a million times, and always thought the lead singer was female!! lol, a big shock!

[gary777777]

the melody is very simular to "The Carnival is Over"

[stevere01]

theres a rude version of this too, me and my wife sing it a lot, it includes the words pillow and farts

[desyxjr]

great post,,thanx....loved it when it came oot..infact a bought it..

[allenjeremy]

This song reached Number 1 here in the UK in 1982.

[deangk64]

you know im sure thats the guy who sang on the boney m and millie vanilli tunes

[zr550b]

No, you´re wrong here. The guy who did the (male) vocals for Boney M. and Milli Vanilli was their producer Frank Farian.

[nesztek]

bazzmeg ez nem "70" , hanem seven tears azaz 7 könnycsepp.

[nevilleboy68]

I must admit that this song ain't half bad - mind you

I've just returned home having consumed 12 pints of Stella and a Donner Kebab!

[BonkeyDollocks]

Vive le krauts - this is quality !

[allanc1974]

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooool-tastic

[mason642]

all good hits

[andiblackpool]

the other hit was called sun of jamaica was better than 7 tears but only made number 50.its also on you tube

[facetoff]

the Brits always seemed a bit strange with their music liking - sun of jamaica is the only recogniseable hit of GDB in Europe and it was such a massive hit! while seven tears is recognised only as one of the flow of their "other" songs they had many.

[lwsmackie]

Bugger off! The brits wont have the same liking as u lot in Europe - there is a good reason there is a gap of water between us & Europe! And long may it remain!

Viva the UK!!! anyway half of Poland are now in the UK.... seven tears...

[facetoff]

same to you dumbass faggot!

[nanamano]

You rely on the Euro contest 4 your hits!

[andiblackpool]

a real classic . shame they only had two hits in the uk.

[dave41166]

What was the other hit?

[mariodossena]

son of jamaica

[jackblack1969]

I was given this for my 13th birthday LOL

Boy, do I feel old now!
