The Style Council - Long Hot Summer

[sevic333]

Zionist-Jew youtube has shut off the volume on this clip .....how dare those pigs!!

[astronut66]

Seems that even Polydor have been stopped from playing songs on youtube.

[Leestoners]

what is it with these 240p tracks.... just play it already!

[louis27195]

why is the sound fucked on all the style council songs?

[Methrt3]

Are they Gay?

[TheVascoPaiva]

@Methrt3 no, but, does that matter?

[FlossieOlesen665307]

You can grab the audio-mp3 of this tune at grabtubesnow doht cohm.

[jposh707]

The big guys -- Sting, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel -- don't mind having their vids on YouTube, but there's a problem getting the rights/permission for The Style Council? I.E., no sound?

Please.

[VersionCookie2000]

Hey I've been looking for this track since I was 5 years old. One of the best songs ever! Thank you

[canmannac]

Jo. you are all over this song each time I hear it. The summer of of 83 was a mess, I and wish I could have done some things better, but no matter - we were liucky to have each other love and live. To hell with them and thier rules. Love you girl, long may you run....

[MedusasKimono]

why is the sound now turned off? odd

[joeh20088]

There is no sound??

[catalin1968]

[djvambo]

[spideyheidi]

@ukepoisoning THANK YOU ♥ 

[seanelectron]

No sound, just video.

[Marolio22]

No sound ?_?

[litlnemo]

Ah, the sound works fine in H.264. It just doesn't work when I play it in Flash.

[litlnemo]

YouTube usually posts a notice when they strip the sound, don't they? Where did it go?

[lleho]

Weller is gay?

[bagz216]

@lleho and you sir are a prick....!

[lleho]

@bagz216 : but sir?

[bagz216]

@lleho ....PMSL.......

[lleho]

Where is the sound?

[bagz216]

@lleho it knows that you think Paul Weller is gay !!....pmsl......

[18andreab]

Love this soooo much. Happy days.......growing up in the 80's, having a riot with my mate Jen. We loved this track....anthem of the summer......

[Longnez]

That then I to say ?! Except that it was for me and my mealy-mouthed a watershed year accompagnied with this beautiful music.

[FormerlyKnownAsShun]

great sound, gives me an idea about this whole "chillwave" scene now

[iluvmusiic]

im 15, and recently heard this playing on absolute radio, i loved it and searched it on youtube and now can't stop listening to it :)

[ZalamalFaulkwing]

were was this filmed?

[ColumRogers]

Listened to this in Pizza Hut today with my class and it sounded amazing. Thank you Mr Weller for this beautiful song.

[dustyrose1964]

i like this song lov his body makes my heart skip a beat lol

[icyhott187]

yeah...what a baseline! geez up! hoes down!

[varpy]

absolutely love this tune But jesus christ thats the gayest video I've ever seen

[hiderann]

スタイルカウンシルって気持ちいいなぁ。

[amamuffin]

WOW!

[seanmcc15]

1:00 this bit is essentuallay the same for his song 'have you ever had it blue' haha just give it a listen ;)

[gdfjf1]

It takes quite a man to reinvent himself many times successfully and PW can do it every time.

[twistedsistaqteu]

used to listen to this on my walkman on hythe seafront in the 80`s during the summer, while having a strawberry cornetto. a real chill out song :)

[MedusasKimono]

lol this is priceless - perfect day out in the sun on the water :)

[essertpitay]

What happened to Mick TALBOT ?...

[MYKGARTON]

Currently playing in Candi Staton's backing back....saw them perform here in Bristol a few months ago

[essertpitay]

@MYKGARTON . I wonder if Paul W keeps in touch with him...

[MYKGARTON]

@essertpitay It would be nice to find out that he's still in contact....always thought Mick was a decent bloke..... and a great keyboard player of course!

[kedordu]

could do without the picnic blanket shyt ..

[JennySussex]

This song takes me back .....Paul Weller another artist to be the sound track of my life. Love this song and vid......lazy summers of the 1980's.....I'm there baby!

[Phume303]

It's ok if it's not as cred as his other material - PW's voice still sounds wicked, and got to love that electronic-sounding bassline :-)

[utuber2]

Back when body shape didn't matter :-)

[Anglichanen]

@utuber2 now we're all fat slobs

[gar861646]

top tune

[brightsideoflife64]

...love the video - sort of a "Brideshead Revisited" theme - except with an 80's ghetto-blaster hifi and some dodgy dance moves. Only in the 80's!

[mathiaslauridsen26]

jajajajjajajajajaja Paul Weller se pego feo con este video . estoy seguro que toda la idea fue originalmente de El. que tal genio !!! porque ya no habra tanto talento como WELLER?acaso ya se acabo el ingenio? definitivamente una cancion perfecta para escucharla en STARBUCKS tomandose un cafe en compañia de alguien especial . T admiro , si tan solo tuviera un poco del talent que t sobra .. un gran fanatico tuyo , desde TRUJIILLO - PERU .

[sevic333]

I keep playin this music more often than not, but may I add!! ........I keep the video on the BLANK position(wonder why) .....just makes me shiver when I see 2 men rubbing ear lobes.

[cosmicgalaxy]

OMG this is sooo sexy hahahah the tune cracks me up so bad as well hahahh ive played this like 6 times in a row tonight--just for the music not watching it lol

[Wombat381]

Big fan of anything Paul does from the Jam to today whatever mood your in Weller will have songs to match

PS have to say this video is crap lol

[hausekar]

I love Jam I can't. stand Style Council. When it came out I was so disapointed with P.W. How could he...

[halcyondays1andy]

sounds dated,shame love all the jam and solo stuff

[danielroberto87]

paul weller is amazing at reinventing himself yeah, i do agree he looks abit queer in this video though :P, as much as i love all his music!

[angela49513]

i didnt realise weller was gay ! i feel so naive and silly

[lezkellett1]

Totally agree Weller was at his best when he was with the Style council.

Love the Jam too and also his solo stuff, seen him live with the jam TSC and solo and just believe he was at the top of his game with TSC.

[1965leigh]

WTF TSC Weller at his best Jam good Solo v good but TSC the best

[brack909]

I love The Jam and Weller's solo stuff so much that I'm willing to overlook the entire Style Council era.

[Davejimjr]

how come? just shows how hes able to reinvent himself to a totally different style of music n still be successful n great :D

[djla1]

mmmmmm jam

[hunterandcollector]

how did they keep straight faces :))

[1965leigh]

TSC awesome :)

[SeanCambo]

This video is so gay, love paul but this is rick ashtley shit

[zuluclegg]

Gosh, I love this sound, love this video, and Paul Weller is a real genius! Thanks for posting

[craigs2470]

who gives a toss about which team he bats for. cant we just enjoy great music

[BoltonandMugen]

Gotta love Weller and friends having fun with this video.

[spinx1200]

can't believe folk are chatting bout weller being gay!!! how sad is that? the man is a genius and gave us some o the best music this country ever had back in "the jam" days. give the guy a break you sad people

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

@spinx1200 OK, he's not gay but he's sure as hell good at acting like he is in this clip!

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

@tomelifeisjustonebig Test

[best1forward]

@spinx1200 I'm with you. there are so many gay putdowns on youtube. i will never forget first hearing this song and shout to the top and speak like a child. they are brilliant songs of the early to mid 80's. paul is truly a genius.

[spinx1200]

very kind words best1forward! paul weller has recieved probably more awards than any other british artist. awards are given by the music industry and above all the british people voted for these awards so that just shows ya the british folk know class when they see it. any how best1forward you take care.

[Choefoe]

downside of video clips ;-) people forget to just listen to the music, video clip generation;-) Weller seen the birth of MTV and video clips

[spinx1200]

correct choefoe. weller was and still is a genius in my opinion. i'm a biker and mainly listen to rock music nowadays but i do remember listening to weller in all his guises. still the best.

[Choefoe]

People who don,t know Weller should watch some Jam, proves at least he has the nerve to change music styles instead of doing the same thing over+ over again,

NEVER JUDGE A SONG BY IT,S VIDEO CLIP !!! New time, new frases ;-)

[spinx1200]

agreed 100% sir. "the jam" were'nt just a band they were a cult!!! they set the standards others had to follow. many a great night i had on vespa scooters popping the odd pill and chillin. the jam certainly were an era that will never die with me.

[Choefoe]

It,s "mam"btw;-) haha, my friends call me just Choe;-)

[arffarff]

gayest video ive ever seen. fair fucks to them. 1983

[bboy2k]

the bassline on this is incredible. i bet prince wishes he wrote this song.

[j0andc0]

So why mention it then?

Point is its a well decent song, from a decent time.

[witchie562000]

The man is not gay, So what the hell if he was.

[hidiable]

Who else thinks that Mick is so adorable?

[JackieP1978]

Stop it with the gay thing.He is not but if he was,really would it matter?Listen to his music.I cant belive that in 2009 people care about the sexuality of others.Stop it!

[EuroCDN1]

very gay..thats how u know the idea of a man is fading away

[cafedeltransit]

The man is as close to God as you can get.... An ambassador for Brit music and a great guy to,my other half's best friend's dad was Wellers Dad's best mate,he then became their Roady in the early Jam day's....

[JackieP1978]

Why is some guys in a boat gay?Who cares anyway?

[woodie106]

Paul Weller is not gay. This video is a piss take of Brideshead Revisited - an 80's British drama starring Jeremy Irons & Anthony Andrews.

[kezzer2]

Just a great tune...

[Rockferry2008]

in the beginning you can see that it is obviously. satire.

[docmontecristo]

Great track but diabolical video! Sometime ago this video scored very highly here on British telly in the "Hall of Shame". Sadly it is not satire, they were quite serious at the time! But I repeat, great song. Mind you, nothing beats the 90 minutes saga by R Kelly for accidental comedy! Not that it matters but to my knowledge Paul Weller is not gay.

[musikmakerman]

this song has one of the best synth bass lines

ive ever heard would like to hear a modern

rap/rnb vers. really smooth layed back.

[iwasanangryyoungman]

I'd agree...say whatever you want about the video (IMHO, the Weller ain't gay but proudly English), but I'd like to see some hotshot hip-hop producer workin' magic with that sick synth b-line

[ABCRE2]

Honestly now, it Was just a bit of satire here.

[JackieP1978]

Does it really matter if he is gay or not.Being gay is no better or worse than being straight.He makes good songs thats all that should matter.

[leeandnic131]

OMG is Weller really a shirt lifter.?

[mackers1916]

Its a piss take people .... please it get over it , Weller's straight and has a few kids catch a grip and see it for what it is .

[skewedfoot]

Plenty of gay men have a few kids....know what I mean dearie? Say no more. Nudge nudge, wink wink. A nod's as good as a slap round the hollyhocks to a blind horse luvvie, I'm sure.

Cheeri-ho sailor!!!!

[joeshiv]

Weller was a wind uip merchant. This video was put together to shock and gain plublicity in the same was as Frankie did.

Thats why I loved T.S.C. Their music was brilliant, Weller is a genius ahead of his time and Micks Hamond organ playing was superb. Add Steve white and D.C.Lee and you had the perfect band. Probably the best pop band in the world as Weller would say. Come back guys.

[enaeb]

Not sure about Paul Weller writhing in the way that he did. I think it was done to add some kind of masturbation essence while thinking of the girl he's singing about!

[UnholyDeathM]

"girl his thinking about?" didnt you know he is gay?

But bloody brilliant,

[bigbillballbags]

They look bent as arseholes in this. Blinding song tho.

[Isolar]

LOve this:)

[Agrati1]

Brilliant song but gay video! Seriously though, TSC had some great hits in the early 80s.

[Rotemetoot]

yeah the video should be romantic and heterosexual.. lawl

[lizthestrummer]

bloddy hell .. he had a nice chest ;) lovely...

[pix042]

"Weller's became a gay icon after he softened the Jam's aggressive image in his 1980s pop act The Style Council. He admits that these were his sexually ambiguous years, saying: "I went through my 'confused sexuality' time in The Style Council" but he never went further than stroking his keyboardist's earlobes in a video.

Weller admits to being bemused by his popluarity among the gay community, but states that he is completely heterosexual. "The truth is, I don't really fancy blokes."

[reelncome]

mayb hes jus enjoyin the long hot summer......

[pillifant1971]

i love this song ,plus paul with his top off makes me feel very happy !

[chinarooney1]

the jam, the style council or on his own. paul weller is, the best singer song-writer of our generation. classics, all of them. thank-you mr. weller.

[spencewr3]

absolute classic

[johnmcluskey]

How gay is this video lol.. The songs not too bad for the 80's though and I can see why Weller left The Jam and formed the Style Concil. You can see the influence from this band plays a big part in his current solo career

[jds14]

Yep the great british cuntryside

[clairechristie70]

where was this video made

[annew1a]

Cambridge, UK

[simrozwwfc]

how gay does weller look! stick to bein a mod!

[pakehatama]

Well I have always been gay AND always been a mod too. Maybe we should just call it style!

[asafan]

That´s so Gay of you Pakehatma to mention your sexual "preference" it´s not like anybody in the world would say :"Hohi I´m heterosexual AND Mod" or: "i´m Vegan AND mod" so take your sorry buttf*ckin gay ass an scram youloseryoutuber !KerimMod4Ever

[pakehatama]

Of course it's gay of me to mention it.

Because of the fact I am gay then I guess everything I say is gay!

[pakehatama]

by the way... dickhead.

it's not a preference!

it's only via orientation.

"... Of I prefer steak, but I'll settle for chicken tonight..."

[sana1999]

Paul looks so yummy!

[darinmaclachlan]

Great vid, reminds me of high school days...btw...this is off-topic, but I'd like to let everyone out there reading this know the Chinese Communist Party has been persecuting 70 million Falun Gong spiritual practitioners for 10 years in China. The media doesn't cover it. It must stop, so they can be free like we are here. Thanks.

[KevD08]

It's a shame but there's nothing we can do so unless you are a Falun Gong spiritual practitioner then i suggest you just chill out to this great song.

[b1dyer]

I'm listerning to the song as I type, I don't know what the video is?????????/

I can remember a long hot summer , along time ago...

Those where the days?

[silvastrands30]

love this song, think paul wller was well fit back in the day

[cricketbat08]

Great song, but the video doesn't really do it any favours.

[SSSSssscccireaaaa7]

A very beautiful and soulful song. My favourite Paul Weller/Style Council song!

[ehead2222]

well im glad he wrote it bet none of you can write half as good a tune if ya dont like it dont play it !! mugs

[numbnutone]

whats this boring old shit then. the jam were good but this was utter crap. how can u go from making such great tunes to such shit ones, i would rather listen to my washing machine than listen to this song in full. ..yours faithfully d cameron the eton riffle

[logom0]

Its a good song. Gordon Brown

[saweston1]

Nigel Farage for PM!

[markheckyLUFC]

Hmmmm...puts me in the mood...

[markheckyLUFC]

Yep......

[johnmaserati]

They used to use an edit of this chorus in an MTV promo, but rarely played the whole video... a bit too gay, I guess. LOL. As for being 30 years ahead of his time, I thought this would have been a good Motown song - like Smokey. I can see Smokey singing this.

[Doderhultarn89]

80s was so gay

[seanyboystocky]

I don't get this video at all, haha, horrendously homosexual, is it supposed to be a joke? everyone seems to be messing around, I'm not sure if this is meant to be taken seriously or what?

[LondonGirlxyx]

was just a fun 'take off' of Brideshead Revisited, which was big in the 80s........

[forestgumpaed]

forestgumpaed...this leaves a lot to be desired personally.paul wellers much better now.thank god,wellerite through and through.

[stylecounciler]

Paul was 30 years ahead of his time. and still is.

right now, every cool cat riding a fix gear bike dresses just like Paul in this vid.

[thoea2005]

Shidee shidee de bop ahhhhhhhhhhh

[julesdix]

Mmmmm Mmmmmm

[wayne109]

quality

[SMCNI1968]

If this was today Paul would be wearing a hoodie!

[IATMPBFCHer0]

The lead singer looks a bit like Robert Carlisle!

[tonyeddy1234]

y on 33 seconds does the blond fella bite the tree? abit random

[asafan]

Aaaah innit summer.....when you can where white levi pants-trousers...with ble jacket underneath pink polo fred perry or not at least 3 buttons...or like mick sailor blue stripped...loafers...and not to forget red TSC sweater over the shoulders....then you are "ALL THE SHIT"!As the BRITS SAY....Monchichi-like haircut...its SUMMERTIME MOD LIFE FOREVER -notes from KerimMod4Ever

[DylanOB]

brill song but wot an odd video

[DaveAtYouBoob]

If I like this song does that mean I'm gay?

[Jardisk8r]

no!

but maybe you are gay even if you don't like this song

[romeroenrique]

Do you feel gay or was someone up you last night?? LOL!

[madda68]

Long hot summerdays with portable radios while some people fall in love for the first time and some people fall out of love for the last time. Beautiful

[funerallimosine1]

it looks like a german homo erotic porn intro.

[senorbellaco]

Perhaps you are very familiar with watching gay German porn which would explain your correlation in comparing it wiht this video.

[funerallimosine1]

thats not what ur mum said last night.

[martinbond2003]

Crap answer? I could have done a better diss than a your mum rant. Why do people think think this song is gay. It is an 80's song. Check out that era.

[krelbar]

Yeah, but I grew up in the 80s and I thought the song was gay then. Though I guess I can appreciate it a little more today.

[Rachelehartley]

Very Brideshead Revisited!!

[martynjones111]

most homoerotic video ever but still a classic

[mahalkolico]

CLASSIC ALL THE WAY ...

[RaineonGeorgeM]

What would my life be without a StyleCouncil??? HaHa! I love this group.

Peace. Love and (en)Light~~

theRaine

[nqf259]

LOVE this tune and video is superb !!!

[chsbcg]

In the days of the National Front and the British National Party and the Conservatives.

[bodalollox74]

best style council tune by far, bring on the summer cant wait.......big up mr weller every time

[mdelair420]

videos where a dime a dozen there were so many but alot of the music was better than the video they just flooded you back then, in those crazy 80's some of the music was great and timeless.

[awasala]

Weller-

you're better and better!
