Broadcast on channel 4, sometime in 1991....why the fuck did you spoil it with those letters on screen?

[H4NDCRAFTED]

This was ripped from my video tape.

The screen title is there as I wanted to sell the video tape and didn't want people just ripping it from youtube.

That, my friend, is me!!

My daughter (14) says I can only "dance" one way and thats a fusion between Bez and Ian Brown!!

I always tell her, as she listens to ne-yo, and all that nonsense, that she will never know what she missed.

And for the music and vibe at the time thats a shame......

But as a father..... I'm glad in a way she missed the "hazy" days of Acid House / Madchester........ unbelievable times!!

this is about the time i 1st heard 'em here in nebraska...was on a plane a few months later 2 see 'em in n.y.c.! never since has any sound had such an impact....many house parties fueled by the mondays

@bobmorrice Absolutely bang on. Still to this day i tell people that weren't fans either back then or now then entry level way to appreciate the band is to listen to the bass. That's the starting point. Paul is so good it's sacrilege he's not given more credit. Once you're tuned in you hear ,the drums lead guitar all add more and then frankly, Shaun can sing whatever the fuck lyrics he likes over the top because it's all about the groove. Fools just see them as E's and Bez dancing.

[smallinson]

That was and still is double, double good

[lestaleky]

they snide themselves together and snide down

[dwl1973]

[88voodooray]

[slampants]

don't you old folks think the madchester scene stayed in the 90's, i'm still going hard to the mondays and i'm only 18! i just wish clubs nowadays would play more mondays, primal scream, xtc etc, perfect party songs.

[skeptic9876]

[drfunkenstein251]

Great melody

@ctidcarl

Tell me about it mate! The first time I felt old was 2 years ago (I was 33 at the time), when my mate's 18-year-old daughter told me I 'danced like a 90s raver' to this tune.

[SuperPissflaps]

IT TOOK OVER 20 FOR SOME PEOPLE TO GIVE THIS SHIT A CHANCE
