Incredible to think that this song only became a hit in a small number of European countries and in Australia! Such an original late 70s piece and video. Definitely deserves more recognition in music history!
You think? I’m thinking that this is just the kind of quirky off-beat song that remains firmly underground. Not unlike the rest for their catalog and that of their former band 10cc.

Check out Skate Attack featuring skateboarder Stacey Peralta and music by Bomb The Bass. It was the brainchild of Lol Creme whose son nagged him to do a music video with skateboarding in. One of the longest music videos released.
@@80sandretrogubbins25 You have to listen very carefully to find similarities between Godley and Creme's and Sting's songs but if there are some, they may not be a coincidence. Sting was of course very familiar with Godley & Creme's "Englishman in New York" and he must have thought of it when he wrote his song witht he same title.
Godley & Creme sure knew how to paint and craft a song especially when working with the limited technologies of the 70’s and 80’s they were truly ahead of their time respectively…
Its still amazing here in 2038! I'm from the future.I cant explain right now but DONT step on the wasp on Tuesday..........................................
Yes Geoff they are I saw them in sheffield in 1976 They played how dare you album all the way through Most bands were not in the same league. Listen to Kevin godleys new solo album It's brilliant
I must say, after all the years, and those are many, I prefer musicicans and Bands from England (scotland and Ireland, too). They really have a lot of charme and charisma.
I must say, after all the years, and those are many, I prefer musicicans and Bands from England (scotland and Ireland, too). They really have a lot of charme and charisma.
I had this song bouncing around my head all day... funny....I was about 13 years old when this song was released. The mechanical band is such an interesting and surreal touch.... especially the "robot guy" short circuiting in the beginning. Godley and Creme were out there....Art for Art's sake!....."Walk tall, walk straight, spit the world right in the eye...the stronger the wood, the straighter the arrow......." Genius.
Kevin Godley & Lol Creme - loved to push the boundaries with 10cc and they made incredible music when they left the band to go form their duo. This song is pure brilliance imho.
I think the original 10 cc still with Godley and Ceme was on the same level as the Beatles...big shame they had to splitt and halve their musical might in the process ! Why they did not get all the recognition they deserved will for ever remain a mistery to me!
Not a mystery. Beatles success had as much to do with how cute they were as with their brilliance as songwriters. I say this only half tongue-in-cheek. But the good news is this. Due to the Fab Four's success, record companies made the judgment that the public yearned for sophisticated songcraft. It did not. And in retrospect, this should come as no surprise. In the meantime great musical talents were given free reign to express themselves, with the expectation that the public would thrill to the creativity. Although this turned out to be an incredible miscalculation of the market, those of us who *were* that market benefited beyond all we could imagine. The 70s gave us so much wonderful well-crafted and intelligently composed music. If you were out looking for it, scarcely a week would go by without you're finding something new to challenge your mind and captivate your ears. A lucky break I say!
10cc were hugely popular in the mid-70s in the UK. They had five consecutive top-10 albums and 12 top-40 singles in the UK and a #2 hit in the US. They sold 15 million albums in the UK and 30 million worldwide, and are regarded by a lot of people as one of the greatest groups of the 70s. I think they had the success and recognition they deserved.
I love them and I agree. Their Greatest Hits are just something unreal. I finally "discovered them" about 2012-2013. I was around when I'm Not in Love. Another brilliant song that was a recording studio masterpiece. But unless you dug deeper in the 1970s you would miss out on a lot of things. Like Me. Stewart sang the 60s Pop Hit-Groovy Kind of Love. Gouldman was a member on the waning days of the Mindbenders. Gouldman wrote massive hits for The Hollies, The Yardbirds and Herman Hermits. Just a lot of talent, creativity and you Got Stewart and Gouldman's Studio Strawberry Studios in Stockport, UK. Just a lot of Rock History at least on the UK side.
@@christophersmith5095 Interesting. Queen did have a wider appeal because of the personality and flair of Freddie. But I think as time as moved on the 10cc members at least individually have had an appeal to their audiences. Still working in their perspective areas.
A song that has never left my head for 41 years. I knew it was Godley and Creme but could never figure it out until someone postedit on Facebook 4 weeks ago.
Must be the best and craziest lyrics ever in this musical traffic jam. I can only dream of writing lyrics and music this insanely good and goodly insane.
Oh, how I wish in an alternative universe that Kevin and lol got back together with Eric and Graham and we had the best music EVER! Just Watched the best selling songs month by month from 1980 - god its truly after 1990.

@@timchromecast I’m intrigued so I just checked. It was a respectable chart hit in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Australia! Wow. And yet it didn’t make the 100 in U.K. or USA.

I've been looking for this for about 30 odd years. Saw it on a music programme somewhere in the early 80's. It's been in my head since then and I could never think who did it.

A fabulous song and a great, groundbreaking clip. When I first saw Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" clip, I couldn't help but think of this fabulous, quirky creation. A jazz cigarette or two certainly helped! And yes, saw it on Countdown!
Me too! As a first-year-out teacher in a remote NSW community, in 1980, I loved this clip and its out-there vision. "Games Without Frontiers" was another wonderful imagining of a world beyond my trucker-town classroom. It takes me so vividly back to a time of such loneliness and isolation, and how much great music comforted and inspired me.

@@isabelladestegonzaga5529 As with most things, it's a matter of opinion. I was a teenager in the 50's and saw the amazing birth of Rock'n'Roll, which was an experience nobody of a younger age can understand. I also have the advantage of witnessing ALL other types of music in every decade since then, and although music has become more sophisticated, it doesn't necessarily make it any better. However, I think it's fair to say that whatever music people grow up with, it probably remains their favourite music for the rest of their lives.
You have to admit though the music from the 50,s 60,s 70,s 80,s and to some extent the 90,s was the best Era for Music ! I mean we had Soul Music Rocknroll Pop Music ECT ECT !!
My favourite Godley and Creme song! Never played on the radio though... I remember me and a mate trainspotting MANY years ago at York station and nipping into the station canteen for an apple pie and spotting a jukebox. We wandered across for a looksee and saw Under Your Thumb listed. It was in the charts at the time. We put some money in and chose it about six times. After about the fourth playing the woman behind the counter walked to the jukebox and switched it off at the wall. When we complained she told us to piss off! CLEARLY NOT a fan!
Finally saw this almost mythical video! A bit creepy, but fascinating. Led directly to them working with Visage on "Fade to Grey" and "Mind of a Toy" (getting the best video of the year award for the latter) and further to a tremendously successful carrier in music video.

Groundbreaking arrangement, production and genius perfection. I believe that sums up Godley and Creme.

Every lyric is an absolute zinger
I can't think of anything they wrote that wasn't brilliant
The two most unlikely pop stars ever - and all the more brilliant for it - a beautiful cynical masterpiece
One thing about Kevin and Lol, they knew how to direct a memorable video! The list of classics they produced is insane!!

It's like they dropped acid with Sparks before they recorded this...this could easily have been the Mael brothers
It would fit perfectly into Sparks reportire. I think It has a little bit from "At Home, At work, At play" contained in 2:03 - 2:13
A very good observation
Just before? Bloody hell, I wouldn’t want to be tripping with all this going on around me!
Accurate comment, Mr. Romero.
Got that right,i can just see them on stage together .
One of the underrated/important groups of the 20th century. So ahead of their time along with their contemporaries i.e Frank Zappa, Split Enz, XTC
Bloody hell, they were talented.
It was inevitable, as they were formally band members of 10cc.

@@karenoconnor9649 Was that supposed to be an insult? If it was, it was a pretty weak one. And it was pretty pointless too, bit like you really.
Brilliant in 10cc genius together
Absolute classic by artistic genius
Total art.
Finally saw this almost mythical video! A bit creepy, but fascinating. Led directly to them working with Visage on "Fade to Grey" and "Mind of a Toy" (getting the best video of the year award for the latter) and further to a tremendously successful carrier in music video.
I like those weird men in it, its totally different, godley and creme are very talented
