That was totally boring. Two drum loops, one piano loop and one bass loop. The sound could have ended half way through and it would still have had the same effect.
Im sure ther version I had ended with a womans voice announcing: "The DJ, eases a spliff from his lyrical lips, and smiling orders cease". It was great for a last track!
I met the guys from StE in a club in London and told them I was a big Neil Young fan and I loved the version. Pete Wiggs said: "we wanted to do 'On The Beach' " Jeez, that would have been interesting. Unfortunately, the gorgeous Sarah Cracknell wasn't there...
I know it is 90's but the synths and bass feels so 80's. I remember hearing this in Dublin playing in a Virgin Store. I bought it instantly. Dreamy stuff. Her voice is incredible. It honors them that they made a different version of Neils song and that it is not a formula 1A cover for gyms.
that's just nostalgia. Weak vocal, generic monotone beat, hoppy plastic piano... and no harmony and intimacy of the original... if Neil Young was dead, he'd be rolling in his grave.
1991 Eh ! The second summer of love ! Took to Raving and lots of sweeties big style ! Have to admit that when the football scores from around Europe c`mon the news i always keep an eye out for Saint Etienne ! And Ajax and PSV right enough ! Peace Ye`All !!
This is a classic. Moira Lambert is lovely but then so was Sarah Cracknell. I think this was the original vid but they changed it for the too young to die video collection with sarah. The vid i have seen still had some of the same bits from this one. Moira still gets a vocal credit from the original single.

Nowhere near as good as the original, the melody in this is all wrong. I can admit that someone else could do a better version that Neil, but not when you tear it apart like this.
I bet Neil would dig it. He's made electronic music (Trans), played with Devo & Sonic Youth, & he's just cool like that. This version is kind of interesting.
@hightimesbruce I am basing my statement on previous comments in this section, such as this: "She isn't the singer. Moira Lambert was a bit more indie/goth and did the vocals as a session singer. She didn't want anyone to know it was her, so the boys got this girl to do the vid."
I have loved this track for 20 years and yet this is the first time I've ever seen the official video. Great upload and thanks for a fantastic track and many fond memories from back in the day :)
Why the hell is "Who Do You Think You Are" blocked from St. Etienne's bloody own YouTube channel?! I just clicked the video and got the message that "The contents of this video have been blocked by WMG." Bloody hell! I'm irate now. :-|
