Orange Juice - Rip It Up.

this is a very WEIRD version of Rip It Up live, on the Old Grey Whistle Test. Notice how Spastic Edwyn is!

I like this song , it's one of the most popular OJ tracks but I believe that it's not among their best ones.OJ has always been one of my favorite 80's bands and the orange juice + the texas fever mini lp are excellent.

Thanks for post it , I will post it in my blog .

You're very welcome. Yeah,they rule.

I really don't understand what makes this performance weird, or what Edwyn is doing for this asshole uploader to think he is being spastic.

I've seen front men act like that all the time, its just extroverted movement of the body to the music. I mean, what about Mick Jagger? Red Hot Chilli peppers front man Anthony Kiedis? Would you call them spastics?

I certainly wouldn't call it spastic...you tool.

[evelsteev]

But I would. So what? I didn't even mean it as an insult. Relax. You're acting "spastic" by complaining, even though I was nice enough to upload this video.

Why is this a WEIRD version?

Sounds like a kick ass attemp at sounding like the recording live. :) love!

THis track live is SUBLIME!

THis is one of THE best tracks not only of the 80s but one of THE best pop tracks ever.

STUNNING harmonies prersented here as well as brilliant synth effects!!!!

[TheYTChronicles]

Tru dat, tru dat.

Good harmonies and keys on this version, but the guitar player isn't turned up loud enough, his guitar sounds a bit tinny.

But presumably not this actual live recording ?

This version (The Punk Club version) was released on the b-side of the 12" issue of Rip It Up.
