Fan video. Classic cut from the self-titled debut LP, referencing the French 'Mai' riots of 1968 (as do the lemons - used by rioters to counteract the effects of tear gas - featured on the sleeve).

  • A few rumours fluttering about recently about a re-union but i wish instead of talking about it they'd just fucking do it! Superb band who have unfinished business to work on.

  • 1/2: The cover of the Stone Roses debut is a Pollack inspired splatter piece with three stripes on the left and three lemon slices strewn across the canvass. The stripes are red, white, and blue but are not a reference to Britain’s reciprocal love affair with the USA, it’s a tribute to the French student uprising in 1968; the lemons they sucked to counteract tear gas. With that in mind, listen to/read the lyrics to “Bye Bye Badman” and tell me they’re not brilliant.

  • ベストアルバムにこの曲はいってないんだよなあ。この曲がはいっ­てればベストも買うのに。この曲だけが足りないんだよなあ。

  • french kisses....like the oppressed yearning for connection, love and solidarity...yet they've been beaten down so much the only way they can do so is through violence. beautiful lyrics

  • Overdosed on the Roses after years of listening but hearing this one again for the first time in ages reminds me why I consider them to be the best band ever.

  • SUBMISSION ENDS IT ALL> CLASS.

  • what a fucking band!!!! gotta gets me some tickets,the rumour is true,they are reforming

  • The Rose's are back, and Wall Street is blue.

    I am the resurrection, NOW whatya gonna do?!

  • The roses are back - people are protesting on the streets, it's going to be an interesting 2012

  • Lemons don't do a thing to mitigate the effects of tear gas. This is Bull! but the song is badass!
