Absolutely love The Beautiful South. Paul Heaton is such a great songwriter. His set at Glastonbury was Fantastic. It would be a dream come true if The Beautiful South got back together again
we were on holiday in Holland about 10 years ago heading towards Amsterdam and our sat nav packed up...the only place it could find was Rotterdam....the kids kept singing this to me!
I heard this song one time when I was a very small child and I still remember it
Peaked at #5 in U.K. on 13 October 1996
At 16 years old, sorrounded by friends, window open letting freash air in, sun shining bright and the radio playing this song in art class of 96' - A lovely memory on a random day in my youth.
I was 10 in 1996
Better back then when I couldn't see the world's corruption like I see it today.
Had this same experience 5 years ago. Damn
Beutiful memories of that summer of 96, the Euros were in England, there was an air of expectancy. Crushed as usual, but this and other songs kept us sane. I was 25.
I was 4 or 5 in 1996 depending on the month and day
My go to at 16 was ELO, last train to London. Was in love with ELO. U2 as well. Can’t fill in my no 1 on my bucket list, nothing compares to you, fantastic Sinead, still not sure, there are too many fantastic British artists out there. My no 1 Beatles is Eleanor Rigby. I might count that in. Bit of pavorriti doesn’t go a miss depending on how yow you feel
Blasted this album in prison got me through me time 🔥🔥
Love this band always

Rockin the stoney in 96 go ahead son

Wow Rotterdam was already famous in the 90s or does she mean Rdam ny
One of the most underrated bands of the 90s
One Band ,I always went to see .
Non ! .. pas tout à fait d'accord .
My girlfriend and I went through Ireland in 1991 in my uncles car with the beautiful south loud. I’m 60 now and this song takes me back.
R u the real Micheal Scott?
@@bizboz3289 lol
How? The song "Rotterdam" was realeased in 1996.
@@gingerjenko1416 His is a time traveller
@@gingerjenko1416 Fair point, but this sounds a lot like their early music which was written in 1989-90
2024 who's listening this masterpiece?
Quality ❤
Moi ! .. j'adore .. des souvenirs aussi ! . 💙🎶
I am still listening to this great song❤😊
Me! Listening to this and all the other Beautiful South songs - class ❤
I don't know why, but this song just popped up in my head and i like it.
Just randomly got this song stuck in my head but completely forgot the name apart from "or Rome" and can I just say after bearing through thousands of ancient Roman songs I'm just glad I'm finally here.
same ! I haven't heard this for well over ten years when I was a child. I kept on trying to think of the lyrics. Could it be Amsterdam? or could it be 'anywhere you go'. And then it hit me- ROTTERDAM! And then I got it!
I think we all think alike, it popped in my head during a joint. I went to get my headphones instantly haha not heard it for over 10 uears
Only thing is that I didn't forget the name
Rather you than me cocker
Yep, searched for ROME first, then remembered the band name.
Tottenham get battered everywhere they go
everywhere they go
Remember a beautiful time with my dear departed wife, drinking coffee and smoking the smoke looking out at spring blooms through the window of a lovely coffee bar in Rotterdam.
Memories last a life time ❤
God bless you.
Bless you mate. I'm sure she is still with you, in everything you do.
Bless you and your dear memories they will be with you forever God bless, memories last a lifetime ❤️
We did not make a good Christmas bay night bay party 🎉 night had fun together ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️morning
my... friend Gene loved this song ....sadly she has passed ....but i bet shes stilll singing it,..miss you Gene...x
And the women tug their hair
Like they're trying to prove it won't fall out
And all the men are gargoyles
Dipped long in Irish stout
The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
And no-one knows if they've done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone
And everyone is blonde
And everyone is beautiful
And when blondes and beautiful are multiple
They become so dull and dutiful
And when faced with dull and dutiful
They fire red warning flares
Battle-khaki personality
With red underwear
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone
The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
And no-one knows if they've done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone

Fuck my life just came across this very amazing beautiful pages like ever xxx
My childhood 💯
Didn’t realise as a child I had fallen in love with this song. As I am getting older it’s un deniable this was a big part of my childhood growing up
I'm with ya it's inbeded 😂😂
Was 18 when this came out. Brings back good memories.
TOTTENHAM GET BATTERED, EVERYWHERE THEY GO!!! TOTTENHAM GET BATTERED, EVERYWHERE THEY GOOOO!!!

One of those rare songs that once heard, will never be forgotten!
Beautiful South were geniuses! 😊
No It's about lonelyness. It could be Rotterdam or anywhere ;)
Brilliant band I seen them in Glastonbury festival back in 1995
ARE GENIUSES
@@keizerFPS. this song is about how you feel, cant run away from who you are
They are still playing great concerts.
Arne Slot to cook
2024 and still listening
The Beautiful South is one of those bands that deserved more number one hits then they got
Same as All Saints, Girls Aloud, and Spice Girls.
@@Mscape7 ;)) :)) =))) :-j ... mmmm all saints maybe, (spice girls? didn't they f had already enough hits- wtf is with this greedyness ... :( ... ) girls aloud? :-/ what theee phuuuuuk ... :( atomic kitten sugababes
u bet
@@unghiuriyoszug3891 Spices missed out with Stop and had other songs to release. They dessrved as many as Westshite. Girls Aloud always got stuck at #2.
Truly! Paul Heaton is a genius songwriter and musician
Beautiful South have always had a satirical twist to their songs, and yet somehow they're still so feel good. They never got the fame and respect they truly deserve
Whenever I depressed or sad, I listen to this song and it instantlly makes me happy again!
Its a sad song 😊 glad it makes you happy
Same here :)
Or sound of silence.
Agreed 😊👌
Paul Heaton: Wearing Stone Island when the likes of Drake was still in his Spiderman jim jams.
Chris Lowe and Paul Heaton were both wearing SI as early as 88/89.
@I know where Epstein Is Take your meds and go to bed.
his Stone Island game is strong
He was a hooligan way back when so what do you expect.
@@Hollows1997 he loves his football, and he wore si years ago
It's one of those songs that take me straight back to childhood 💙
I bet this song will be big after Arne Slot came in to Liverpool.
Feyenoord tot de dood
Wherever Slotty managers he never needs a comb
This deserves more recognition,it didn't get enough at the time and still doesn't
OMG when I was little me and my dad would sit and listen to beautiful south ♥️Childhood memories 😊
ARNE SLOT to Liverpool ❤
Shitters
Everton is also in Liverpool and was there before Liverpool was! Na na na na na!
Spent my whole life believing this song was called Rotherham
Elle Brown we love the yorkshire scene 😭
🤣
The whole place has paedos, the people are paedos for sure...
@@phillipe124 What?
@@rockinresurrection6542 You clearly don't know Rotherham that well!
One of my dad’s favourite songs which I love! 2021 anyone?
Great song hope you’re safe and well 👍👍👍👍
Yes here I am. Hello!
I’m in 2021
0:36 sounds a bit like oasis - the importance of being idle, lol.
Awesome tune still!!
I do
Who's listening in 2020 if so your a legend 👏👏👏
Yes I’m listening, I was meant to go Rotterdam today but Corona ruined it for me
Shal Miah It’s the governments that ruined it. Con-vid is a smokescreen for totalitarianism
Fuck yeah!
Yess beautiful South never get old 😁
I am !
TOTTENHAM GET BATTERED EVERYWHERE THEY GO...
TOTTENHAM GET BATTERED, EVERYWHERE THEY GOOO
The thing i 💚 the most about the Beautiful South is how easy and understated they make it look..not flash or contrived...classics 💚👍
this was my grandads favourite song, i now use it to remember him always.
What a wonderful and beautiful song!!! I'm from Rotterdam and it makes me cry!
rotterdam is beautiful
Don’t you mind her calling you a pickle!? 😅
Wat een vreselijk kutnummer, maar de Havenslaven vinden het vast wel weer een icoon.

Tottenham get battered Seville and Rome, Tottenham get battered 7-2 at home 7-2 at home!
I once saw a version of this with the lady singing unplugged - absolutely marvelous voice
That's Jacqui Abbott
This should be used as the theme tune for Eurovision 2021
Far too good for Eurovision...
The best song of The Beautiful South ❤️
Truly beautiful song
Yes by far the best one.
🏴🏴🏴We’ve been to dortmund, Düsseldorf , Frankfurt and cologne, we’re on our way to Berlin , cause footballs coming home , footballs coming home .. 14th July 2024 🏴🏴🏴
I've never forgotten this song since I was a kid and this is he first time I've listened to it since the 90s, what a masterpiece!!
Jacqueline Abbott was only 23 when this released and by God she's gotten more beautiful by the years!
I read this as Diane Abbott and was very confused for a few moments
What relevance does Diane Abbott have to this Tea Leoni song?
One of those songs that give you a vibe you can't even describe
Just a chill 90s vibe. If you listen to Lemon Tree I think the vibe is similar.
This track brings back so many memories and makes me nostalgic 🔥🔥
Like building rotterdam container harbour with 600 people..
Tottenham get battered
Back from the days when you had to buy the whole album to listen to one song
And back when it was worth it, because albums were good, and not full of shite like nowadays
It's one of those songs that I wasn't a fan of at the time but can appreciate now as it takes me back to leaving school and entering the real world. That time in your life where everything is new and exciting to you and life seems full of potential.
Agreed 💯
This band is the soundtrack to many, many car journeys with my parents for me and my siblings
It could be 20 yards or thirty yards everywhere we go....
40 yards or 50 yards
KLICH IS SCORING GOAL

I must've been 9 years old when I first heard this (most likely on Top of the Pops) and it's only now at 33 that I decided to Google "Rotterdam Rome Liverpool woman walking song" lol glad it's catchy enough to stick with me for 24 years
Saw Paul Heaton in Hull a few days ago. Amazing show even if Jacqui couldn't be there. But I'll never forget the atmosphere when they started playing this song and old red eyes is back!
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea !"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
This song never grows old and Jacqui Abbott and Paul Heaton sing great together love the song alsoloved them singing other songs together Jacqui Abbott's voice is class and thanks to the person who put this up
Asda
I'm from Spain, this song brings me memories from Camden Town, London
