Lyrics as pertinent today as they were 30+ years ago. The bassline and brass on this man, next to the house piano - fantastic track. Hugely underrated.
Damn. What a collection of influences on display here. Eurobeat, Acid Jazz, Madchester, Classic Funk & Soul . I think I find it more interesting than enjoyable but I'm really glad I came across it.
Miss this type of music. Early 90's dance house. Wait - the blow monkeys Choice - the blow monkeys Blame It on the Boogie - big fun This is Your Life - the blow monkeys
@@ThePeterCorne Not sure what a pro-Thatcher xenophobe nationalist is doing listening to a leftist protest song by the Blow Monkeys on UA-cam... **LMAO** 😹
Fab memories - fab song Madchestaaaaa!!!! Th Haçienda, Ikon 🪩 😂 Great vocals Great lyrics Great pianist Great saxophonist Great guitars It’s got it all I am biased love the BM’s People forget about this dance track - why???? 🤪
Brilliant song in 89. We were on a conference in La Manga September that year. A night club called "Wanaties" i think? DJ played this twice, everyone would be on the dance floor, I remember buying the greatest hits in August the same year. St Albans Our Price. Where did 32 years go????
I hadn't heard it for sooo long; in fact I'd forgotten who the artiste was, but then it was played on the fab Forgotten 80s radio programme last Sunday. The song reminds me of when I first read my fave adult novel, the Morning Tide by Audrey Howard.
READ THIS WHOLE THING: PRAY FOR ISRAEL. PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE IN HIS HOUSEHOLD? THEN PLEASE REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS TODAY AND SURRENDER YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. NOBODY IS OUT OF THE CANDIDACY FOR BECOMING A CHRISTIAN.

Add to that UK rave.
"More interesting than enjoyable" is such a good way of putting how I feel about this song, too.
What a talent, great songwriter, surrounded by excellent musicians, brilliant song, great memories, love it.
I'm sure nobody played this more than me when it came out. Still love it in 2021❤️🙏🏿👏🏿🤗
Just a fabulous tune. Remember buying the Choice Singles Collection in 1989 as a 16yr old. Played it to death. Class band👌
Still a class band!
Saw them in Leamington Spa last Friday (6th December)
Miss this type of music. Early 90's dance house.
Wait - the blow monkeys
Choice - the blow monkeys
Blame It on the Boogie - big fun
This is Your Life - the blow monkeys
One of the greatest songs of the 80's.
Classic Blow Monkeys......Italian House Piano and great vocals from Sylvia Tella.......great memories
.. absolutely 💯 .. ❤🔥✨🔥✨🔥❤️
Great collaboration. Sylvia Tella is more known for Lovers rock(Reggae Music)
Music, lyrics, pure gold
I was 19, this piano and (break)beat, perfect voices, great musicians and lyrics! Thank you!
Just found my old 12" of this in my mums loft....just need a record player now!
Still got mine too, and luckily enough I have a turntable too🤗👏🏿🙏🏿❤️
Love the great Italian House piano loop. This track never gets old!
All English here, no Italian needed

So underrated.
What a classic, early-90s house track
Fab memories - fab song
Madchestaaaaa!!!!
Th Haçienda, Ikon 🪩 😂
Great vocals
Great lyrics
Great pianist
Great saxophonist
Great guitars
It’s got it all I am biased love the BM’s
People forget about this dance track - why???? 🤪
MAXXIMUM !!!
When chart music was still good and had variety unlike today's samey-samey auto-tuned garbage.
So glad I was a teenager then and not now.
Late 88 and 89 was an interesting transition point in pop music. We said bye to 80s type pop and hello to 90s styled pop
great dance track too - not often a song gets into your psyche AND your hips..:D
Video shot on location at Athelhampton, Dorset UK. I'm the resident owner - some of me is still in the 1980s! Great day making this. Patrick Cooke
Thanks for sharing. Love this track.
👍✨
what a group.
What a great tune, remember this first time around, an apt description of Thatcher. Still relevant today.
394pjo The legacy carries on:-(
Thatcher was a great choice that we made
@@ThePeterCorne Yeah, like hell!!! Bwahaha.
Dr Robert excelent
Wow. Totally forgot about this song. Check out Sylvia Tella!! I still have a Lovers Rock album of hers
Love this! 80s man! They just did it different!!
Brilliant song in 89. We were on a conference in La Manga September that year. A night club called "Wanaties" i think? DJ played this twice, everyone would be on the dance floor, I remember buying the greatest hits in August the same year. St Albans Our Price. Where did 32 years go????
Cracking tune and Band !
As relevant today as in 89. Superb.
Great song
i'm looking for this track for ages!!!!!!!!
Sylvia good voice and pretty as usual, as the years go by, she's beautiful
Brilliant lyrics!!!!
superb bass-line, top tune, many thanks
Seriously cool guy.
Forgot this 1....classy..and Clever!
A song that is nearly 30 years old yet the lyrics sum up the current political climate..
Chris Wilde No choice as I think that voting is just a token gesture:-(
The lyrics will never go out of style, they will ALWAYS be relevant, I think!!
Still in the moment after all those years 😀
Sylvia tella is fantastic , great voice and beautiful too
got their first album this is my favourite track ;)
It reminds me of when my favourite programme was The Young Ones, and my fave book was The Morning Tide by Audrey Howard.
old school rahtidd love it
Poignant! Beautifully duo ♥
bellissimo
The doctors lyrics for them times do posses substance, no one comes close to the gals power vocals 👌x
ZU geil wie mick anker und tella moven
My youth and one of the best of that time! 18 years old 😀
Que buenísima canción y que gran video. Llevaba mucho tiempo sin verlo y he pasado un gran rato. De lo mejor de Blow Monkeys.
De lo mejor de the blow monkeys..y de lo mejor del pop bailable ochentero..el dr. Robert ..sabía bien lo que hacía..
Glad I saw them !
When pop music was good.
Hope he gave that sports blazer back to Oscar Goldman after 👍
Great song . Love this band .
Zeitlos schön ❤😂🎉
Very nice
oh? never heard this one in New Zealand back in the day.
Loved the Blue Monkeys
Thursday December 5th, i will be there at Cadogan Hall!!
Nice Song 😘💗
great protest song with still elvant lyrics
From the days when you could still get a chart hit with a protest song.
tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dr robert was quality.
I hadn't heard it for sooo long; in fact I'd forgotten who the artiste was, but then it was played on the fab Forgotten 80s radio programme last Sunday.
The song reminds me of when I first read my fave adult novel, the Morning Tide by Audrey Howard.
So relevant in 2016 Tory UK.
'Dr Robert' , what a voice ! Sylvia Tells is not bad either.
❤🎉❤
1989 meets 2022
This song is as rare as getting an properly formed R sound from
Dr Robert !
Boníssim!!!! Quis records!!!
He had a great voice didn't he. Wonder what he's doing now?
Supported Level 42 on their 2018 tour
Played a great concert last weekend in Southend. Still a great band.
@@helenaaron4326 saw them tonight
got this on 12"
Long Live Dr Robert...Lyrics as relevant now as they were in the 80's...soul sucking capitalism...
Quand les kids pouvaient gincher sur de la funk Péchue, qui avait du MEANING!...
They really hated Thatcherism. Lyrics really cut through!

bei so vielen bands steht komplett dämlich und falsch underrated- bei DER hier wäre das angebracht
Blow monkeys anti Thatcherism killed the band
