  • I heard this song for the first time about 6 or 7 years ago, when I was Blue, Just love it..... And perhaps still my X

  • Why the Cannibals were not a huge world wide success is something I will never understand. Totally unique. Brilliant.

  • forgot about this tune its as good as ever

  • In today's world when music is all about marketing not talent (like that bloody Bieber crap) its great to be able to go on the internet and find great music like this. This simply doesn't get old. Brilliant.

  • Amen!  Todays music, ....has done me wrong I'm mad about that !!!

  • Amen

    

  • Man, these guys were great !!! Here in America where people lost taste in real music; I personally think that the British really lead the charge with the best and most historic push in music history..This music was great then and still great now !!! The music of today doesn't speak about anything and holds no weight.. Heck, even the music it's self elong with the fashions...SUCK !!!

  • THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for uploading this. It's a rare gem and it's so great to be able to enjoy it again. I love the passion from Roland in this clip. Cheers Mate, greetings from Tasmania, Australia

  • Love the tories but wtf it's still a fucking great tune from a great album.

  • @TheYeltzman Are you sure??!! They had major international success. Prince - when he was big -was extremely enamoured of them.......

  • The most under rated band in history...

  • for sure - now is the time to re release this

  • Three great things came out of The English Beat ..., 1) Incredible Music. 2) FYC 3) General Public.

  • great song

  • @TheOldEchoes

    It is I agree , I prefer Black but then black actually is nice with blue .

  • Im so sorry for being so naive when this tune came out. Dam 20 years later i finally understand what the song is about...

  • @macyomi Its true for today too!

  • @macyomi Yeah - you would have been the TWAT that gave people shit for listening to this song. REPENT NOW.

  • what a voice!! class, love it

  • Most underrated band of the 1980s.  I'll admit I didn't like them at the time, but I was just a stupid kid, I guess I just didn't get it. Nowadays this is some of my favorite music.

  • Gvernment has done me wrong,

    I'm mad about that.

  • A kick ass song by a kick ass bloke!

  • Does anyone know the chords or key of this great song? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • great song! great FYC and great age! the best! big proud to be there!!!

  • Happy Birthday Roland Gift (May 28)

  • Thank you for posting this sophisticated spa. Always loved this cut, and this is a great vid.

  • It's just a fucking song. And it's great.

  • why not just appriciate what a good tune this is don't try to read too much into it

  • @manthakev well it gives the song more potency when it has meaning behind it. Other wise whats the fucking point in writing a song that has no meaning. Shame on you!

  • This is about the tories I think. Maybe someone should set up a party to rally aganist the tories with this song. Cameron the puppet will be well pleased!

  • @katoness Indeed it is about the CONservatives!

  • This is a great song...can't believe it didn't make it higher than 41 in the charts....In fact it's my favourite FYC song...Funny, when I was younger I thought "Blue" was like a metaphor for a bad relationship....I was way off....I was 12 at the time...

  • what a fantastic singer , all his songs are great , he had such a different way of performing songs , unbelievable range - a legend !

  • My favorite of the FYC

  • The rumors are true! I went deeper into the occult and found this video! Saturn is the coolest! All hail!

  • eh mate..you can mock but truth is truth..alot of the bands like led zeppelin are into the occult...google rik clay..he was taken out by the saturn worshiping whores

  • good song but alot of saturnic symbolism in it...red and blue and left eye stuff

  • It reflects the Tory blue Government and the Labour red.

  • blue and red also symbolise control...cop blue lights,socialist dictatorships,traffic lights...go deeper into the occult and you'll see why solomons seal is red...the two main colours of saturn

  • fantastic song better than todays bollocks

  • The"live -1986" version of this song is offered on this site by champipple. Have a look.

  • anyone have FYC - The Flame (video)??it's very rare..

  • Its on here.

    Type in :

    FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS - THE FLAME (VHS Remaster)

  • Blue references the Tory Party of the 1980s who were telling the unemployed to 'get on your bike and look for work' while sending police in to beating the living crap out of anyone who actually had work and went on strike to protest being laid off

  • @GibbletsMcGinty Couldn"t agree with you more comrade , i was there , the 80"s , what a nightmare , it changed everything for the worse , and it can never come back , too many people grew up under Thatcherism , it was the the end of community .

  • SUPER song magyarul tök jóóóóóó!!!!!!!

  • The blue he's referring to is the Conservative party during the 80's and Margeret Thatcher who went head to head with the unions .

  • The entire album has Thatcher fascist overtones, Move to Work, Blue, even Johnny Come Home. Not surprising when some of the UK's most innovative and profound songwriters are at the helm.

  • This one has a special little place in my heart. More than the other FYC songs.

  • 100% agree lots of generally good covers but BLUE was their best by a long way. As we enter these economic times its importance should reemerge. Avoid BLUE no matter how bad its gonna get!

  • please check cool remix from FYC on my side !

  • kurva jó zene!!!!

  • Thanks for posting, been looking to hear this song for a while. Love this song.

  • Why wasn't this song a bigger hit? I always had a soft spot for "Blue". It's a color so cruel!

  • Allways wondered the same thing. It's a unique sound and a unique song... "Blue... ".

  • @SeaBassTian because the idiots at bbc banned it calling it a protest song,its class

  • Next time I get booted and have to start all over, i 2 will be encrypting my clips.
