i've been a belle head since '98 but i find this is the album i come back to again and again, the soul style melodies and upbeat pacing. i cant fight and say it's their best but it's my favorite
Proof that you don't need to have a voice like Michael Jackson or Freddie Mercury to create an unbelievably great vocal melody. Every syllable is so perfectly entwined with the music. My favorite B&S song.
I heard this song playing when I worked at Carrabba's and I thought it was the weirdest song ever and now I'm totally in love with it. But this video.......that poor little dog......
In high school, we had a performance we would do every year that was constructed of a lot of different scenes and TV shows that the students wanted to do themselves. The intro do this song was played everytime one scene Andes and a new one started, I can still hear the distant “SSSSHHHHHHH” before the song starts 😂
Look at the kid from school He's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool He's changing fashion, the way he dress The tracksuits are old, and the hoody's way too moody For a kid with the will to funk He dances in secret; he's a part-time punk She's getting off the plane She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged The kids fighting up the lane Shop lifting, just drifting Like The Switchblade And The Cross But if there's trouble she's got the moves She's taking an elementary class in Kung fu I left my washing in the launderette You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet That when I see my washing The black will be grey and the white will be grey But the blues are still blue I'm crying out for my mum If the malady don't go away we're in a little trouble With the boss of the company I'm a singer, a swinger I'm a layabout but laying on The dock in the lazy sun Will never quite relegate me to a bum I left my lady in the launderette You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet That when I see my lady The black will be white and the white will be black But The Blues Are Still Blue Baby, I love your face I've been creeping round this town because… Well, creeping's just my way But with a little wink I'll be there I'll be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fade I know your young, but you're out of touch You're French, your vocabulary's not quite formed I left my homework in the launderette I got a letter from my mamma which my stoopid dog has ate I hid behind the fence Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog He's not making much sense I left my lady in the launderette You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet That when I see my lady The black will be white and the white will be black But the blues are still blue… I left my lady in the launderette You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet That when I see my lady The black will be white and the white will be black But the blues are still blue…
Just got the CD from Ebay today in the post. Yes, I can listen to songs here on UA-cam, but I wanted a clean set without lossy. So the question is why get a CD in this day and age. Well, this albun is special. For me to get a CD off Ebay is very rare. I know good craft and The Life Pursuit has it. It's nostalgic too. The songs could come out of mid-1970s am radio. They of course would be major hits had they been released then. A pinnacle of pop-music art. You don't get albums like this very often.
Now that I've read Stuart's novel/memoire Nobody's Empire and discovered that going to the launderette on a Saturday night was the highlight of his social calendar during his recovering from ME I look at this song/video a bit differently.
Si les gusta esta canción deben escuchar "Tus ojos mexicanos lindos" de Juan Gabriel. Son muy similares en su sonido. If you like this song, you have to hear "Tus ojos mexicanos lindos" from Juan Gabriel. They are similars in their sound.
Remind me of j-horror where the loser main cast got his request by laundry evil but then he should fulfil the evil laundry request back or he will got a bad luck 😂
Cheyenne Stirling Anything by the Velvet Underground or David Bowie. This song is heavily inspired by people like Lou Reed and Bowie and like Rock N' Roll. And of course Belle and Sebastian has a many songs like this.
well look at the kid from school, he's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool ... for the kid with the will to funk, he dances in secret; he's a part-time punk
Why, oh WHY is this song so goddamned perfect?!
Belle and Sebastian is the sound of my childhood and this will for ever be one of my favourite songs
Agreed. I'm constantly realizing how much their music has affected my music taste throughout my life. Iconic.
For some reason this song makes me smell cider and hear my friends sitting around drinking and having fun. It's a nice feeling
i've been a belle head since '98 but i find this is the album i come back to again and again, the soul style melodies and upbeat pacing. i cant fight and say it's their best but it's my favorite
Forget it being just _their_ best, it's one of my favorite albums period.
No matter how bad a day/week/month I've had, B&S never fail to cheer me up!
Agreed 🔥
My boyfriend dumped me and this is my current source of happines. Thank you music.
how is life after 7 years?
Fuck him ✌
How ya holding up?
Has it happened again since then?
my dad just smashed my xbox and this is my current source of happiness. Just a quirky girl xD
Proof that you don't need to have a voice like Michael Jackson or Freddie Mercury to create an unbelievably great vocal melody. Every syllable is so perfectly entwined with the music. My favorite B&S song.
The best of the decade Life's Pursuit
I love the sheer fun and silliness of this. Keeps me young.
Only Belle & Sebastian song I know that features a cowbell. Among my favorite of their 90’s songs.
This came out in 2006!
I feel sort of exclusive knowing this great song :D
I’m 63 …this Bell and Sebastian are the only modern/pop music I enjoy….
This is a really great, slightly surreal video. To go with a great song!
I heard this song playing when I worked at Carrabba's and I thought it was the weirdest song ever and now I'm totally in love with it. But this video.......that poor little dog......

I like that homage, nod, whatever to Question Mark & the Mysterians at the ending (96 Tears).
this song is making me so happy right now.
Why am I feeling happy even with all the blues in my life now?
danny haobam - that's the magic of the B & S ancient Scottish secret formula at work.
oh man never has laundry washing sounded this groovy
Best. Music video. Ever.
Most Creative & FUNNIEST Video...EVER
I agree! It's like everything that is happening in the video is totally normal haha
the human Cannonball lmao
I disagree, I think the video titled "Pug Party" is more humorous than this.
If Belle and Sebastian had come around in 1962, they would have been as big as the Beatles.
Huh??? 😂😆🤣
I don't think Belle & Sebastian would exist without the Beatles.
One of the best pop songs ....almost perfect,
and the vid's not bad either
Look at the kid from school
He's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool
He's changing fashion, the way he dress
The tracksuits are old, and the hoody's way too moody
For a kid with the will to funk
He dances in secret; he's a part-time punk
She's getting off the plane
She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged
The kids fighting up the lane
Shop lifting, just drifting
Like The Switchblade And The Cross
But if there's trouble she's got the moves
She's taking an elementary class in Kung fu
I left my washing in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my washing
The black will be grey and the white will be grey
But the blues are still blue
I'm crying out for my mum
If the malady don't go away we're in a little trouble
With the boss of the company
I'm a singer, a swinger I'm a layabout but laying on
The dock in the lazy sun
Will never quite relegate me to a bum
I left my lady in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my lady
The black will be white and the white will be black
But The Blues Are Still Blue
Baby, I love your face
I've been creeping round this town because…
Well, creeping's just my way
But with a little wink I'll be there
I'll be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fade
I know your young, but you're out of touch
You're French, your vocabulary's not quite formed
I left my homework in the launderette
I got a letter from my mamma which my stoopid dog has ate
I hid behind the fence
Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog
He's not making much sense
I left my lady in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my lady
The black will be white and the white will be black
But the blues are still blue…
I left my lady in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my lady
The black will be white and the white will be black
But the blues are still blue…
yuleni sillas thank you for the lyrics
Launderette > Laundromat
Thanks! 😊❤

CDs on eBay are way cheaper then Digi downloads.
Now order every other Belle and Sebastian cd you can get your hands on. You won't regret it.
Great song! Funny video!
The Life's Pursuit is an awesome album, too.
Great band and the best label across the pond 👌
This song is so nostalgic!!!
This song always puts me in a good mood.
excelente cancion
siempre me pone de buen humor
Me pasa lo mismo, invita a empezar bien el día!
this song is so fucking amazing. there needs to be more like it.
Now that I've read Stuart's novel/memoire Nobody's Empire and discovered that going to the launderette on a Saturday night was the highlight of his social calendar during his recovering from ME I look at this song/video a bit differently.
such an infectious groove, shouldve been a much bigger hit
The size of the hit depends on the musicians submission to the machine, not the quality of the tune.
I love this song.
Mas o azul.. sempre será azul.. E eu sempre amarei Belle and Sebastian!
Such nice memories with this song
Me encanta esta canción! ❤🎶
I love it~so funny and classic.
B & S go glam rock circa 1972 awesome!
This is a grower, Is that Nelly F spitting bars? ❤
Stuart's hat would blow off in a light breeze.
love it!!!
💙🌼 te amo
simplemente me encanta esta cancion :3
i like the song.
if you didn’t listen to this album when you were a kid, what did you even do
wow Coole song
Next time I find myself at a laundromat, I’ll make sure to play this song for the people there.
One of the greatest catchiest songs ever but im a bit worried about the dog
Very Trex
Si les gusta esta canción deben escuchar "Tus ojos mexicanos lindos" de Juan Gabriel. Son muy similares en su sonido.
If you like this song, you have to hear "Tus ojos mexicanos lindos" from Juan Gabriel. They are similars in their sound.
ce soir a Montréal!!!!

"Step Into My Office, Baby" is the song for you ;)
@alllinedup good point man! haha, yeah I just thought it was random, but understanding circumstances puts it into perspective!
2007 at it's best
Remind me of j-horror where the loser main cast got his request by laundry evil but then he should fulfil the evil laundry request back or he will got a bad luck 😂
i laughed out loud, not until the lumberjack appeared and the pine needles were flying everywhere
are this a thing still?
50 years from now it will be a thing. :)
Still lovesble
quality indie music. i imagine this song in Gilmore Girs.
Does anyone know any songs similar to this one? Same style?
Cheyenne Stirling Anything by the Velvet Underground or David Bowie. This song is heavily inspired by people like Lou Reed and Bowie and like Rock N' Roll. And of course Belle and Sebastian has a many songs like this.
Billy Robins Thanks! I was aware of David Bowie but never heard of the others. I'll check them out, thanks again.
Cheyenne Stirling of montreal - wraith pinned to the mist and other games
^^^ must check it out if you like this IMO.
ovechkin100 Hey! Just checked it out and I love it. I'm pretty sure I heard it when I was younger but thanks for reminding me of the name :)
Cheyenne Stirling awesome, glad i could help : )
This a Mr. song of 2000's! Better than Harlem Shake, isn't it?
Who is the beautiful black-haired model gal in this? She is a stunner
copado

Does anyone know what song the synth in the background is from?
alguien tiene la letra en español???

Quienes son los 8 que le dieron "unlike"? - Belle and Sebastian :)

Is someone else thinking of Juilan Casablancas voice?
What's the name of the hot, short haired skinny brunette @ 0:44? Anyone?
Not the guy, the girl...you funny man, you.
Ya! i would also like to know
@alllinedup do you even know what that means? it seems that you are just using it because you wanted to seem cool!
thumbs up if u couldnt wait to the end of this video to play "hard to explain".
3 people dont have the will to funk or dance in secret
I lost track of how many "wtf" came to my head while watching this video.
this sounds like a mucic from a 70s rom-com movie soundtrack....
pretty sick
"...she wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged"
This laundromat would get shut down in an afternoon.
Ah, I get it: B&S doing Marc Bolan and T Tex…
well look at the kid from school, he's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool ... for the kid with the will to funk, he dances in secret; he's a part-time punk
came from a tweet
@koldkilla777 this isnt boring.
David Bowie influence all over this
Marc Bolan in the vocals
I'm a part-time punk. :(
Funny video. 🙂
too few view
wow that sounds funny
Stuart Bolan
Wha... what am I watching?
just wondering why nobody writes the ninja-dislikebar-story.
wo0w
If that girl in Denim was my partner, I hardly would be paying any attention to the brunette with the weird hat.
Honestly
maybe he likes 'em anorexic
