Bought this on the 18,6,1980 just past my driving test still got it on 45 think it was around 68 in the charts should have been a massive hit single great song
Love the commercial but cant find it on the internet. Bought this record 1980! Always wondered what he is singing here instead of "if you´re the Levis kind"? "The leasing kind?? "The easy kind"?
Ronnie Bond, the creator of this track wasn't actually the Troogs Drummer but another fella who made music, he passed away a few days ago but if you were curious he did make an album a few years ago, its acoustic , enjoy - ua-cam.com/video/gGuu0ZEWZv4/v-deo.html
Cannot understand why someone doesn't take this song, pay a royalty and release it again in 2010. Would be a hit. PS as long as it's not that loser Simon Cowell.
Yes, there are definitely two Ronnie Bonds, this one was not with The Troggs as i found out when i spoke to him a few years ago. Good New Wave song which i assisted in making it climb the charts in 1980 by buying it in the Rainbow Record store on the Precinct in Holmes Chapel. I believe it was also Radio One's record of the week. Ronnie Bond also composed "Don't Be A Dummy', a hit for John Du Cann, also used in a jeans commercial. Must be something in his 'genes'.
This was as close to a hit as anything the Troggs did after 1968 even though I know it's a solo effort by their drummer. I don't understand why the Troggs got totally ignored after the 1960's. Some of their 70's and 80's stuff was good.

What a cool tune, don't care how old you are, that song is cool
I'd forgotten about this little gem! I bought it back in 1980, and still have it somewhere.
Remember this in the Levis ad - a real banger !
Except he they changed "easy" to 'Levis" .... (at the end)
Bought this back in 1980 - great memories
Adored this record as a nipper and I’m loving it all over again!! Totally rocks!!
'DAMN'..... Great single !!🤩
Thanks, I have the 7inch single of this.
Listening in the year 2022
Finally! I heard this song from the old Levi ad and then again once on the radio when I was at school. It's only taken me 39 years to identify it!

Levi's commercial from 1982 shown in US TV. Shot in Los Angeles
it was a hit in it's own way

I was waiting for days in a p2p for the guy who has it to enter so i can download it !
Later i found it in 45" single and bought it !
Ah takes me back....
The b'side Naked in the Suns is a cracking song as well!!
Den bästa reklamlåten ever!
@Cetara86 I agree. I bought the record because I heard it on that Levi's advert. I've tried finding that on here but with no luck :(

@dancingchris55 Unfortunately, Ronnie Bond died in 1992.

I agree. Black bottom album from 1981 is great. But this is not the drummer of The Troggs; only same name.
You need to correct Wikipedia then. Even before that, I'd read that Ronnie Bond of the Troggs wrote this.
Maybe, Dan; but the information in "Wikipedia" is unreliable many times.

@Cetara86
It must have been a hit since I heard it on the radio in Sweden in the early 80's. Is this the guy who was drumming for the Troggs?
@@andyelliott8027 No, he was not the same Ronnie Bond as The Troggs' drummer.
This is NOT Ronnie Bond of The Troggs
I agree with you, Hans.
Yes it is. It was his only solo single.
@@andyelliott8027 No it isn't this Ronnie Bond was an American singer..
@@anthonymclean9743 There seems to be no record of an American singer called Ronnie Bond anywhere, who was he? Was he American ?
@@andyelliott8027 There's videos of the American singer Ronnie Bond on UA-cam he did a couple of advert jingles.
I thought this was a brilliant song
