I'm Japanese, and this was one of the first songs I remember listening on the radio when my family moved to England on 1995 because of my father's job. At that time I was able to understand only about half of the lyrics, but I still loved the atmosphere of this song. It also took me few years to know that the one playing on radio and TV was the censored version lyrics.
Although Oasis was my favourite of the 90s There's certain songs from both sides of the pond as you say ' stinks of the 90's where even in Britain artists like Alanis Morissette felt like they were part of our 90s culture as well as America
Yeah the good old days with British bands like beautiful south, Oasis, Blur and even after Freddie Mercury's death Queen were still hitting the charts. Then you've got the American artist like Aerosmith, guns n roses, Bon Jovi and meatloaf hitting the charts with I'd do anything for love getting to number one in America and Britain where it spent 7 weeks at number one and 19 weeks in the charts and other hits

I remember walking through our local garden centre a few year's ago and this was playing softly in the background...yes you guessed it, the album version. I wonder if they ever realised LOL
❗️ 🙊 🤪 They probably didn't realise...oops! I prefer this version. I was in the pub with my brother, put this on the jukebox and he said: "Why have you put on country music? You like rubbish music". I get where he's coming from with the country music but I don't agree that I like rubbish music!
Growing up, I loved this song because of the way it sounded. Now I love it more because as an adult, I'm living it! Unfortunately very relatable. Masterpiece of a song.

Beautiful South had a whole list of great songs and this is one of their best. It was my dad's favourite he loved this song. This one's for you dad and I'll see you again someday RIP 🙏 love you dad i think about you everyday ❤️ ♥️ 💖
I didn't pay much attention when these guys were charting. I am a bit too old. Discovered this talent and love it, courtesy of UA-cam. Going to get tickets for the summer for one of their shows. FAB.
This song came out when I was 10 years, I still remember my Dad and I listening to this on one of those awful C90 tapes in the car, it would auto flip to the other side, and start again, gosh how times changed, and mostly not for the better.
I remember singing this song to the man I'm with. He got married and divorced, I went my jolly single way. We met again yrs later and are very much in ❤️
Didn't know that there was a dirty version until I went to Stockport County last night and everyone sang it. I was shocked. The concert was absolutely amazing though.
The dirty version the original this version was clean version for radio, paul Heaton actually did say one time when he was doing a come back show in his home town hull
It is impossible Not to Love The Beautiful South personally for me it is anyway the very first album I ever got was a Now album and perfect 10 was on it always loved it the older I've gotten the more I realise every one of their songs is telling a story love it
I have never heard of dirty version until a few days ago. What I have been missing for these years. I suppose it didn't make the censures back home. LOL.
Proud to say she's from my hometown. My college music tech lectures used to tell us how great of gal she is, they'd met a fair few peep in the industry and they always said she was beyond down to earth.
Good band They was the beautiful south Was brought up this type of music Dad loves Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison Mom loves Celine Dion and the carpenters All were very good Nice one for the upload
326 thums down!! What the hell are you few idiots talking about. This is fantastic, as are ALL the tracks by The Beautiful South. I spent a really hard time in ICU and the BS tracks and videos got me through it, I love all of them. I have you in my car too. Paul Heaton and Jackie Abbot and the other guys were my comfort, I felt that I knew them personally by the time I got out. Thank you to all the group. xx
My dad used to play this song a lot when I was a child but the CD version was slightly different. Instead of singing "Don't merry her, have me" she sang "Don't merry her, f**k me". Ironically no one every realized she sang that because we all thought she said "but" instead of "f**k" until I became of age and started listening to this and my dad was actually kinda shocked xD
"You've a knighthood in I'm not listening.". For some 25 years, I've never been able to decipher that. Just looked it up. I'm not sure I like knowing it though, it's forever changed the way I hear it.
I should’ve listened to the lyrics of this song & paid proper attention, so I actually heard the words. 40 plus years on this earth & now I realise I didn’t have to fit in or be accepted by the people who judge me
Wow this song reads true for me. Never was or wanted to be a family man. Done the right thing staying single never grew up.. and played the field many girl friends also lived how I wanted Rock n Roll Hot Rod cars as a result NO ties so bought my place cash freedom who wants the sentence of a mortgage new boring cars and commitments,, Live in GB . I am Now 77. NO regrets

The difference between this stuff and modern stuff is this stuffs still brilliant. Timeless quality.
yeah, that's what i was hearing when this was new
I always thought this was an old country and western song. Dolly Parton or something. Didn't realise it was British and 90s
Well , my wife does have a PHD in " I told you so " and thank God for that , i am an idiot and without my wife my life would be a disaster . Thank you to my wife . Great song by the way , thought provoking lyrics .

Great songs, great singers, great band. You can't ask for much more!

Underrated? By whom, exactly? I've never heard or read one bad or negative word about this group
@@ElvarMasson I have . People don’t talk about them or hardly play them on the radio .
In the late 80's/early 90's TBS was a MUST to hear.
Listening to this as an adult - the lyrics are amazing.
This is the only 'clean' version I've ever preferred. The subtlety of the lyrics in this one make it better than the other version.
Protect ya neck clean version is also great cuz of the sound effects
90s music was the best
😮😮 Wow, This just dropped in my feed, I ain’t heard this in years! Great, Great Tune. Hope Everyone enjoys it as much as I did! 30/9/2022😊
I love this so much - thanks to my lovely mum for getting me into the beautiful south ⭐️

Hit that nail on the head. It was my late lovely Mother’s funeral song. She had a far superior taste in music than me many years ago.

Such a lovely down to earth person as well
Beautiful south were my aunties favourite band. She met them a few times and sadly passed away two years ago today.
May she rest in peace eternally dear 🙏🙏🕯
I remember this had just come out and was playing on the radio just after I got my first job in a bike shop when I was 18.
start of my working life listening to this song, still love it to this day.
I WAS SO INNOCENT. I ONLY KNEW THIS VERSION. THEN I REMEMBERED THIS SONG AS AN ADULT... AND FOUND OUT I HAD BEEN LIED TO ALL THIS TIME!
The F me version is is 100% better.
Yes same! Can’t get over this isn’t the proper version
When I found out that “Perfect 10” was about fat girls and the size of your cock, my childhood ended right there and then.
Oh my goodness beautiful memories
It is impossible Not to Love The Beautiful South personally for me it is anyway the very first album I ever got was a Now album and perfect 10 was on it always loved it the older I've gotten the more I realise every one of their songs is telling a story love it
So can't wait to see them on the 22nd of February. My sister got me tickets for my birthday 😁
Glad før u surë
Hello 2022. Goodbye restrictions in Uk. Let’s go play this in a pub somewhere
Brilliant. A perfect sprightly pop song. Love this band.
Hit like if you'd be lost without UA-cam during lockdown 🎶🎧💯
I have never heard of dirty version until a few days ago. What I have been missing for these years. I suppose it didn't make the censures back home. LOL.
have to be honest, lived in germany half my life and I missed a few things this song being one of them, great song
Jaqui Abbot is stunning and she's defo one of the best British female singers ever
Definitely! Looks great with long hair too - one of the few people who can pull off both long and short hair equally well.
And Paul Heaton is one of the great British songwriters. He's so underrated, a true treasure. 👍

So glad i grew up in the 80s and 90s, what have kids got now?
As an 18 year old I listen to to the old stuff two and Coldplay, the new stuff sucks
You got taste ✌️👌
what a voice . she used to sing round Bridge Street before Paul singed her. and if yu dnt knw where Bridg eStreet is well guess !
Blew my little mind when I heard the original lyrics ;)
The best group ever always songs that get in your head
Don’t say this lightly, the man is a legend 🎉
I adore you guys, brilliant everything.
I love happy people🤣😁😂👍
this fucking song plays EVERY FUCKING DAY on the radio at work and I AM LOSING MY MIND!!!!
Do you still work there,?
Home-wreckers love this tune
Much classier without the potty mouth lyrics but still doesnt have the same ring a ding ding party very clever writing ,raw talent ❤
Haha I remember the shock of buying the album and hearing the other version xD
Sing the 'Alleluia's from 'Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of God' over the middle eight. It works.
Good band
They was the beautiful south
Was brought up this type of music
Dad loves Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison
Mom loves Celine Dion and the carpenters
All were very good
Nice one for the upload
What a great song both versions and another top class video by Beautiful South
Superb tune, as always by the Beautiful South!
Also, I dedicate this to anyone who's just read, or is about to read, Chapter 194 of Beastars..

Yup, and the only proper copy I can find here is blocked, do I really have to go down to the basement and root through the boxes for the CD, jeez....

Love this song remembers me of my dear friend thatbwas killed 25 years ago god bless
Sorry for your loss. I lost my best friend 3 years ago. Its hard.
Such a great video. I've always loved their music.
Another GREAT song from possibly the most underrated men in music 🌎.
Jacqui Abbott is a man? Who knew?
Is this honestly one of the most beautifully sad yet darkly funny songs ever written?
I was a child when this came out and I have only just understood what it's about 🤣🤣🤣 very funny indeed
It floors me every time. 😂
Maybe next to Udo Jürgens's Ich war noch niemals in New York. On the CD she don't sings "have me", But something more explicit.
Wonderful! Nothing more to say!
Love this song
Paul Heaton is a true romantic poet. Prettiest eyes is my favourite, but so many great songs to choose from.
"You've a knighthood in I'm not listening.".
For some 25 years, I've never been able to decipher that. Just looked it up. I'm not sure I like knowing it though, it's forever changed the way I hear it.

Reminds me with Liam Cavanagh in emmerdale.

Caravan of love is a great song, but, I do prefer the original version ua-cam.com/video/4wibyuGQlyo/v-deo.html
