Sounds like a band that is more concerned with their haircuts than the music. And, one more thing...just how high can that drummer get that snare drum?
@videonut28 1: the jam have written some of the best songs in history - check out some of their other stuff, like "going underground" and "that's entertainment" and if u still don't like them then, hen u hav no taste
2:yes, ok, they had haircuts, but so did every1 else in the 70's
@videonut28 Paul Weller is an amazing musician. Sounds like you are more concerned with making smart remarks than actually knowing anything about music.
i like the jam and all but this song REALLLLLY sounds like the THEME SONG to some AWFUL weird BRITISH SITCOM involving a bunch of local drunk pub goers trying to keep their wits about them in A TOWN CALLED MALICE, just wack song writing
I don't like Justin Bieber, and I don't want to see his name. Why does everything have to be judged next to him, even when people are being positive about things. They aren't in the same league or time. Music is like fashion.
'A whole streets belief in Sundays roast beef, gets dashed against the Co Op - you better cut down the beer or the kids new gear - its a big decision in a town called malice yeah' Weller is a God
What I wonder is if all these people mentioning the pop singer that everybody loathes in EVERY SINGLE OTHER VIDEO get paid for writing his name. Because truly, I hadn't even heard of the guy until all the morons in the world started advertising him by throwing random insults in his direction.
So I dearly hope you're getting paid for mentioning him, because if you haven't, then YOU'VE BEEN OWNED, you git.
@littlekasino i agree, mate. i had never heard of him until his name kept popping up on youtube. i still havnt heard any of his "music" as it`s not something that interests me. im 43 & been into music since i was 12, with bands like the who, the jam, specials & selecter. the list goes on. the canadian guy can have his day in the sun, but i for one wont be listening
Who are you talking about? My money is on Justin Bieber.... yeah, am I right? Was it Justin Bieber? Eh, was JUSTIN BIEBER the popstar you hated everyone...um...mentioning....oh, shit. Sorry! Cough!
paul weller x factor tens times overs good looks sings writes style arrogance style grace humility but no way loyalty unlike his fans the only fans more loyal than jam fans were the specials fans
as was my beautiful city (Catania) in the years 1982-1988 afternoons spent at the disco Macintosh, Medea, divine Gloden gate. time unfortunately never returns
Why does every video on youtube seem to spark off an argument about politics........Conservatives, nationalists, BNP? What the fuck are you all talking about haha. Pure fannies by the way!
Yes LoW'80, for real. Mad Black Britons paid dues adding flavours to 80's rock acts; look at Elvis Costello's "Everyday I Write The Book" video and see if you don't recognize one the back-up singers as a later UK Soul icon...
allowed to be proud? of what your transgressions? your trespasses in the name of self? The owning of the system and the book of rules that came from the burning bush of gashes that you surrended when you when up there dresses? the stealing of everything from achohol to ectasy, from puppet shows to disney, free to be proud, ya but just don't get loud, they will press you down until you are the grapes of wrath. proud of their dreams their ideals, their culture. fuck off. I am british not proud
I apologize in advance; I`ve never been sure what this song is actually about. And I`m not very political at all. I just always knew this had a badass beat, and whenever it came on MTV, back when it actually WAS MTV, it always came on full blast. One thing: why does the brotha on organ look a lot like our President? LOL
MOD FEST: on the 1st and 2nd of april 2011 with FROM THE JAM, SECRET AFFAIR, THE LAMBRETTAS AND PURPLE HEARTS. For more info go to Mod Fest on facebook.
I'm from Australia but my parents came from Europe but here we are still connected to the UK as in being in the Commonwealth and what is wrong with being proud of whatever country you come from? And Paul Weller just oozes sexiness and at least these guys dressed better than the ones around now...Tracksuits etc should be used for exercise it is such a bogan thing..Wake up people the smartness has gone out of music.....
@AnAutumnsDay Thatchererism never died (New Labour). Economy shifted from hacking out fossil fuels out of the ground to one where you can go out your door and make something of yourself. These musicians like to cash in on your lazy envy of people who had the balls and intelligence to make it

It's just not possible to diss The Jam with any kind of integrity. You don't like it then fine, go somewhere else.
