It’s taken me 11 years to find this song. I remember watching it at my grandmas when I was little and apparently I never stopped banging on about “the man in the bouncy ball”. As I grew up I was desperate to find the song but I couldn’t remember any lyrics, only a man bouncing around in a ball and “green playing card symbols”. Then out of pure luck, 11 years later a random New Years Eve playlist happened to have the Brits Medley by the pet shop boys on it. I’ve never jumped out of a chair quicker! I must say it’s a relief for myself and my whole family because I’ve never given up on trying to find it! 2021 is off to a magnificent start for me! Excellent song.
Just like me, I remember listening to this on the much music's top 100 from 2009 but couldn't remember the title or almost anything about the song, I just remembered the chorus and the skulls. This really took me a loooong time.
I swear God I was looking for this song few years since I was heard it when I was a child. I'm 22 now after a few years I thought it was a 90s-00s hit and searched the whole world with 0 results. Finally today was the big day! Can't believe this awesome music launched at 2009. Please make more music ! There were nights without sleeping searching for this gold!
I remember being enamored with this song (and this MV) as a kid and teen, I'm also in my 20s now and it's so strange reflecting back, I'm glad it's still here.
Or maybe it is the simple fact that the song itself is repeating everything... Hahaha it might seem obvious but that's not the reason... It's the rhythmic style that only they have... Their sounds take you far far away... Don't you all think?
This may be the ultimate blend of PSB irony, sincerity, politics, romance, and just plain fun. It's a privilege to be alive at the same time as these guys.
@@Thomas-fn7vq 'too much of anythin', too much -of-ev'rything, is-never-enough' there's a good example... but there's all sorts of things to pull outta the lyrics, i bet
I really love this song. It's not actually my favourite song but it's definitely the most meaningful song in my life. It doesn't matter how much you get in terms of material stuff or empty achievements, in the end love is what really fills you.
I searched for that song for about 10 years... im so happy right now. I watched that music video on ViVa when i was 11 or 12. Never saw it again. But the "bouncy ball man" kept appearing in my head so often... im so happy ♡
Yo recién conocí ésta canción cuando los Pet shop boys dieron su primer concierto en Lima en el 2010. Me gustó de inmediato. En las radios nunca la pasan.
I had seen in way back in 2009 in my Gym. and then I downloaded the video on my Nokia and I would listen it all the time! Then I forgot all about it...and then last year O found it again somewhere down the UA-cam!!
This hit was a refreshing gift from Pet Shop Boys! They will be remembered forever! I think they still can give us many hits! Thank you guys for the compromise with fans!
Love etc. does not follow a conventional verse-chorus-verse-chorus format, hence why it sounds different. Neil Tennant added in more lyrics into it because he felt that whatever the producers (Xenomania) had written was not enough, so he extended the chorus (the "don't have to b..." part). Also, the "too much of anything..." part is like a bridge but is located almost in the middle of the song. And then the first verse is repeated again...and the weird thing is, you don't know where in the lyrics it's going to end. The "beautiful but it helps" repeat at the end is a complete surprise as an ending - it's all rather wonderful.
Absolutely fantastic ❤this song neils voice is so sweet and the backing singers are absolutely fantastic and as for our birthday boy Chris is absolutely fantastic at everything he does no matter what it is and as cute as they come no matter what he wears ❤psb forever
Absolutely ❤This song Neil's voice is so sweet and Chris is just absolutely fantastic at what he does and the backing singers fill the package they, re absolutely brilliant absolutely ❤This song its fantastic welldone Chris and Neil u done it again xx❤❤❤❤
One of my favourite songs is the schlager parade that Chris does its absolutely amazing.. As for our Chris saying he couldn't sing.. Chris u sing beautifully... Just like neil.. Especially the schlager parade 100%PERFECTION.. Just like u.. Well done babe u did a brilliant job ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ As always.. ❤U 2 too bits chris your my ❤throb ❤u FOR EVER
This song is so special for me. I listened this song in 2010 for the first time and i thought that i understood the meaning of the lyrics. But while the time passes and i become more mature i realised that song explains how the world works.
This is one of my all time favourite songs by the Pet Shop Boys. I have to agree with others that this is so underrated. A brilliant song with great lyrics and the video is so clever ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely ❤This song Chris is absolutely fantastic with Neil's sweet voice and the backing singers are fantastic ❤ it.. You cant go wrong with these guys and the backing singers they have on their songs are also fantastic. Bless them.. PETSHOP BOYS for me all the way ❤em too bits especially Chris.. As Kylie Minogue said.. I just can't get him out of my head ❤❤
Holy crap. This song has always been good, but I never saw the video. Both the song and the video are still good enough to be current to this day. Fabulous!
@@IMGFriend Dont u mean petshop boys songs are 100% pure gold and perfection these guys are absolutely fantastic at everything they do they, re always 100%, in my book the best duo EVER along with the backing singers nobody can beat these guys.. Simple
у моего отца она лет 10 на звонке стоит, на каждом телефоне, вот, он только покупает себе новый телефон как первым делом ставит себе эту песню на звонок
the Pet Shop Boys are one of my favorites,because of their unusual style. I love these guys!
11 років тому+13
I just love this video and the song. Can't stop playing it. I just recently discovered it and I'm simply in love... Hope to get the chance sometime to see them play live. Saludos desde Costa Rica. Pura vida...
I can't believe this album came out in 2009 already? It's been THAT long? I remember when it came out and it was nothing ago!! wtf what a GREAT album!!! long live the Pet Shop Boys!
Le tengo mucho cariño a esta canción, fue el primer tema de Pet Shop Boys que escuché, cuando mostraban este videoclip en los canales de música en la tele.
This video is somewhere between a computer game, a psychedelic journey or trip and creative genius. It is amazing and deeply fulfilling. It is also symmetrically accurate and a lot of subtle things in the middle such as "too much of anything" and it's just many of 1 symbol, yet next line "too much of everything" and it's all symbols. Very well done indeed
This was the first song which introduced me to this band, i loved this song and then i searched for more from this band and i kept hearing many tracks of theirs like west end girl and love comes quickly, these guys created music and changed the pop music for like 25 years..love etc forever
Thankyou pet shop boys for amazing music I'm born in 2011 and I find true passion in your music I hope that you tour again around Bournemouth so I can see you guys in person for the first time!! ❤
Lembro que, quando eu era moleque, essa música passava toda hora na MTV e eu a odiava! kkk Graças a Deus a gente cresce e nosso gosto se desenvolve junto. Clássica, fantástica!!!
'Yes' is my favorite PSB album. There isn't a single weak track. In fact my favorite song on it (The Way It used To Be) wasn't even released as a single. I know it's kind of insane to pick an album released in the 2000s as my #1 when most bands birthed in the 80s never seem to be able to recapture that initial success. But for me where Pet Shop Boys succeed over other "80s" artists is that they are constantly reinventing themselves (and keeping their finger on the pulse of what's current) while still maintaining their iconic sound. 'Yes' is an absolute masterpiece; a whole other level of catchy pop hooks, witty lyrics and hypnotic beat and melody that only this legendary duo can craft. Note: I also love 'Bilingual', 'Fundamental', and 'Electric' of their non 80s albums (not that I don't also adore their 1st 3 albums and all their albums really).
This song is criminally underrated. It should be a classic by now. It is for me, at least
Its 11 years old by now. Its a classic alright and i feel incredible old.
MaybePotatoes Yes but 13.5 Million views is not bad... I working crazy hard on my tracks and videos and it coming not to 100K or even 10 🧐
13 522 253 views. The audience is the most important
For sure mate people can't understand songs with meaning.
It's trash.

Interesting considering it came out in 2009
Pet Shop boys had a ton of stuff. Just look and enjoy!
Guess what? We need a search engine for earworms.
I had the same experience with the song "Phase" by Breaking Benjamin. Took me some 11 years. Felt great. :D
Just like me, I remember listening to this on the much music's top 100 from 2009 but couldn't remember the title or almost anything about the song, I just remembered the chorus and the skulls. This really took me a loooong time.

its never late to discover something you ve been looking for years:) music has no age!
Glad to hear you finally found it! It's such a great feeling when you find a song you love after a long search... enjoy!!

I love unconventional things
Wow, what an analysis.
That's because Neil Tennant is a genius 😀
Whatever was done, it sure works beautifully 😊❤️
The ‘Too much of anything’ part is genius. I think it takes the song from pretty good to absolute perfection.
Well, this song aged like a fine wine..
The more you listen, the more you fall in love with it

Sure it is. I agree.

Been a fan for 30 years. It’s one of the very best.

A great comeback for the Pet Shop Boys at the time, even has that 80's feel to it...

everything about this song is wonderful.
lyrics are not only meaningful, they change your views somehow :/ and are just very beautiful..
Actually it explains how they would like the world to work. Because the world doesn't rely on love to survive...

While world does rely on love to survive, and it destroys with hate.

The animation is wild.... somewhere between early video game and the art you see on currency and stamps. _A smile much colder than ice_ ❄
Another gorgeously perfect pop song by PSB. I never tire of it.
This is one of my all time favourite songs by the Pet Shop Boys. I have to agree with others that this is so underrated.
A brilliant song with great lyrics and the video is so clever ❤❤❤❤

You're never naive, love is always free
This is the first song I've listened for 2020
what a lucky thing to be alive
Love you all, big hearts

The music and the visual together are amazing!
"Don't have to be
beautiful but... it helps" I love you Pet Shop Boys! ❤️
A brilliant song to capture the narcissistic Noughties within a upbeat melody! A fusion of social critique within pop!
True. The late 2000s were the low point for celebrity worship. Just look at what was on MTV at the time.
Pet shop boys, writing classic tunes since the 1980's
Wait!..... Where have I been to miss this!!
This has to be one the best music videos of all time....
You need LOVE !!!! THE WORLD NEEDS LOVE !!!
Обожаю эту песню!!! Мой стиль))) Люблю вас, ребята, очень-очень)))
От души✌️✌✌
Я всегда слушаю эту песню когда я смотрел порно и кончил))))

Favourite track of all time! Lyrical and musical masterpiece! Makes you dance, makes you think, makes you love.
Also the remix by gui boratto is fire!

I saw them in 1989 on their very first tour, at wembley. They were amazing :)
Nice! Can't wait for them to come back around!
I second that. I last saw them in The Copenhagen Opera House two years ago. And will be there for sure next time they are in or near Copenhagen 👍
One of the greatest? I think you mean THE greatest.
I love the Pet Shop Boys....very good Music
LOVE this song. Beautiful uplifting lyrics. Thank you PSB.
