What a tune..im 56 and was never into this stuff..madness and the jam were my bag..but i love this music ..nostalgia, melancholy, sentiment..plus we had the best bits of our rents tunes
i don't understand why this isn't considered a xmas song. reminds me of xmas and the girls in chorley standing on the tables in the pub when it came on the jukebox. happy times.
One of my fav songs of the 80s. For some reason when I think of this song I always think of Jackie Wilson Reet Petite. I think they must have been around the same time.
You should see what some of the acts used to do to rebel on TOTP because they weren't allowed to sing live. TOTP famously required every act to lip sync.
@@funguy8801 Didn't Kirt Cobain once decide to deliberately sing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" off-key in protest because the rest of his band weren't allowed to play live?
This songs something that's just grown and grown on me ,Paul heaton has done the same ! If there's any1 anywhere that's stood up 4 his own like he has I'd like 2 know who ? From the 1st time I saw him god knows how many years ago he's impressed me no end ; a down 2 earth and very centred lad of real commitment; he was never up 4 the bullshit and glorious make believe superstar world that could make some of lesser credence grab on2 4 all their worth ? Well played Paul you're a diamond and nee bullshit just a brilliant man and a great exponent of a working class lad of great talent but a lad that's never 4gotten his roots ! Ya Ganna dee 4 me son I've been Ganna say this 4 a very Lang time considering I'm an owld rocker I love what you've done with your talent 👏👍🤗

Maybe I'm missing something here but she calls her dad and talks to her dad and then says I'm gonna call my dad. Am I wrong in this timeline? What the hell's going on here?
martin harrington my bad you’re right, well the ORIGINAL from IJI is better that the Housemartins remake although I like this version too, thanks for the correction!
Watched Paul Heaton sing this in Glasgow last night. Voice is still brilliant
OMG so fantastic - what a great youth I had with such amazing music.
You were lucky
A time when all music was great
2025 we will be living in a world of peace. Stand up.
This song is a prayer for today for every man every woman
New respect for this song & band. Now THAT'S HARMONISING!
This was no 1 for ages in the early 80S when was in my 20’s. Class never dies!
Still listening to this classic in 2024 ❤
Love Paul`s voice.
This Is One Of The Best Song Ever !
Agree
@@heleonardorodrigues1645
Agreed ❤️
I can't get over the fact that Fatboy Slim was in this band... Go Norman! :)
Great song, stunning performance. Coventry City fans sung it from the terraces supporting their team to their FA Cup win in ‘87
What a tune..im 56 and was never into this stuff..madness and the jam were my bag..but i love this music ..nostalgia, melancholy, sentiment..plus we had the best bits of our rents tunes
the more I hear it the greater it becomes ... never tire of that .. wonderful stuff
It's pigvomit shit from bastard fucknoided cunts.

@@oogifsesm298 you're a nice guy aren't you ?
@@jimpickard3850 hes trying to say, i love u, hes only too shy.
I was stunned
This reminds me of my wonderful childhood.
The magic 80's❤
Just loved them. Ero giovane, ero in Uk e potevo essere pressoché tutto, ancora. Deliziosi
I had no idea that Norman Cook was Housemartins > Beats International > Mighty Dub Katz> Fatboy Slim
Sounds like u do
Housemartins great band. And this and Happy Hour are fantastic songs
I loved this song the moment I heard it. Another good one is called the flying pickets, only you.
Only you is a yazoo song flying pickets covered it
35 years ago and still sounds even better today!
I guess I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
worst cover of all time

Not in the same universe as the original isley jasper isley 1985..
Great Song, bring back '86!!
Yes please.
Un capolavoro bravissimi
Absolute underrated beautiful classic, northern harmony class!!!!! (and that's from a Londoner!) xxxxxxxx
Great band great song
i don't understand why this isn't considered a xmas song. reminds me of xmas and the girls in chorley standing on the tables in the pub when it came on the jukebox. happy times.
The youngsters know "Fatboy slim" we older people know him as Norman Cook from The Housemartins🤘🤘
never heard of him.., and fatboy slim is m an m so wtfayoa!
I remember singing along to this without a care in the world - timeless classic
worst cover of all time
One of my fav songs of the 80s. For some reason when I think of this song I always think of Jackie Wilson Reet Petite. I think they must have been around the same time.
They were also both on Now 9
God I loved the housemartins!❤
1:10 singing into wrong end of mic yet no change to sound quality - that's amazing!
No doubt done on purpose in defiance of the BBC's strict mime-only performances on Top of the Pops at the time.
You should see what some of the acts used to do to rebel on TOTP because they weren't allowed to sing live. TOTP famously required every act to lip sync.
Billy Bragg sang Between the Wars live on TOTP. One of the very few acts to sing live
@@funguy8801 Just like Oasis when Noel, or Liam dropped their plectrum on the floor whilst playing the guitar and it just kept playing.
@@funguy8801 Didn't Kirt Cobain once decide to deliberately sing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" off-key in protest because the rest of his band weren't allowed to play live?
blimey, 1987 comes rushing back, great days.
Que maravilla !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blast from the past :) Choreography was just brilliant ;')
Dave eres ectraordinario❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh such sweet memories from slowdances in the 80s this brings. My favorite!
Great song 🎉🎉
It Is In Top 100 Ever ! I say it since 1987 ! Since that !
Gracias!
Loved this song since it was first released.
Susan Cooper Not bad but the Isley Jasper Isley remake was far superior though.
@@R-L-I Isley-Jasper-Isley version is the original. This version is the cover
Love this song, good times
Simply brilliant

Amazing singing !!!!

Beautiful song
ONE HIT .WONDER.. PITY IT ENDED SO QUICKLY.. THANK GOD FOR BEAUTIFUL SOUTH..BRIANNA.. NEVER FORGOTTEN..

What a career Paul Heaton has had either solo or with others 👏
If you listen to the original, it never suggests this treatment, yet it works perfectly ... thats the genius of Paul Heaton
Genius lol
I far prefer the original
Isley Brothers?
Wow a great live quality
Brilliant
Timeless brilliance. And still I believe, the last uk a cappella number one
siempre que escucho esta cancion se me hace un nudo en la garganta,me salta la emnocion que no tengo..
Greatest hit ever

voices
Every woman every man, join the caravan ❤
Ahh they're really sweet.

Paul Heaton invented the floss dance
Não as brazil
It's the Inbetweeners of the 80s when they had a band
Too of the pops the story of nineteen eighty six Paul Heaton reckon the band were kept off the Xmas number one spot by rigging by the BBC because of comments made about manager Thatcher in favour of Jackie Wilson.
1:09 Well I for one am convinced that they are singing for real and not lip-synching. Love the fourth best band in Hull.
🎉
Seriously brilliant
Is that the man from the beautiful south
we need a dubstep version of this song
Tommy from Glasgow brought me hear. He's a good lad the crackpot.
very observant nicola
Child hood song
The HM'S were young and credible, they could get away with purposely dressing down and still look cool as fuck. Unlike radio 1 djs who were never young, credible or cool and more than likely to abuse the kids, rather than inspire them. (JP the exception, he knew his place and role as a vehicle to expose the wealth of talent these small islands had to offer. Whilst retaining the look and persona of a much loved geography teacher.)
JP = John Peel
Manuel Neuer cantando essa foi boa...kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I would actually listen to that if it existed.
what became of the two outside on mics? 1 in glasses and other in black jumper............ we all know about the lead and the middle
YellowOnline - the guy on the right is the original drummer Hugh Whitaker. He left the group and Hemingway came in.
@@Letsgofishing-1 he also went to prison for assaulting someone with an axe (true story)
Jumpers 😂
Up there with Billy Bragg as the most ill-suited TOPT band
Paul Heaton invented flossing
Can you believe the guy at the end right attacked someone with an axe and went to prison for a few years.
Can you believe the second to last guy is Fatboy Slim
LOL yes I certainly can.
Paul Heaton the blade
I'm ready to be come out as gay 😊❤
1:07 classic TOTP the artists must hate it
October 12th 2024 anyone
then again totps policy is miming,,no disrespect to the house martins
Maybe I'm missing something here but she calls her dad and talks to her dad and then says I'm gonna call my dad. Am I wrong in this timeline? What the hell's going on here?
If a bunch of Leftists sang a Christian song today they'd be cancelled in minutes. The 80s ruled. We were free.
unpretentious and good
Lip syncing at it's best
Spelling at its worst.
Where?
it's =/= its ;)
That what Top of the Pop was all about. And the only way to get on live tv for most band
Good ol Fatboy Slim
oops un connected michrophone doing a twirl
stand up
The Isley Jasper Isley remake of this song was far superior even though this isn’t bad, I’m sorry.
that was the original came out the previous year
