Wish I could wake up to find, today was just a bad dream, and it was the 80's again.Great times great music, organic girls. The most catchy infectuous tune ever.
It was a good music era but it was a absolutely terrible era to live in the uk we were in a recession and had thatcher as our prime minister it was very rough for millions! I was lucky to have had a father who worked all of his life and passed his business on to the family but they still weren't the glory days like people make them out to be
The Seventies were total shit under Heath, Wilson, and Callaghan. All power cuts, football terrace violence, polyester clothes, the National Front and perpetual strikes.Thatcher got the economy back again by the mid-1980s. Tough surgery yes, but it was essential.
I was 14 in 1980! Where did the time go, it’s flown by?! Young people, make the most of being young as one day you will look for the music of your youth and see that 42 years has whizzed by in the blink of an eye!
I remember sitting alone in the cinema in 1980 waiting for _The Empire Strikes Back_ to start, listening to the music that was playing and singing along to the chorus of this song. Happier days.
I heard some football fans years ago being interviewed on TV about an England game singing: “Peter Crouch will score a lot, and then he will do the Crouch robot. Na Na Na Na Na Na Na”, only for an advert to appear on TV for a CD with this song on. I didn’t make a note of the name of it and it was only shown once - I’m glad I finally found it!😊
Was 13 when this came out i just LOVED it!! in the days when you ran to the tv to watch TOTP and your parents were like OMG and that drummer cool dude or what? Ace.
Underrated band! I was only 12 when I bought this, my 4th or 5th 7" purchase and I was so excited. I was with my friend and his parents and just wanted to get home and play it! Everyone check out their other hit 'Zambezi' too!
This was the year I started senior school. Era defining in many ways. I remember the first school disco and this being played more than once lol good times…..
Many thanks for the lyrics, my first time actually knowing what the song is about, great song and lyrics, thanks again from a man of of Leinster...........

“Does anybody know how long to world war 3, I wanna know, I gotta book my holiday” “The whole things daft, I don’t know why. You have to laugh or else you’ll cry” Is it just me, or is this the anthem for the world in 2022?
Well world war three is right round the corner, that’s why I’m part of a group called the minutemen, our cause is to help those in times of need, in case world war three does happen
I saw my mate the other day, He said to me he saw the white Pele, So I asked, who is he, He goes by the name of John Buckley John Buckley John Buckley He goes by the name of John Buckley
Great tune, reminds me of being about 12 in the early 80's. I'm straight (am I allowed to say that) but the drummer looks pretty fit (from a guy envious way!), wish I had a body like that! lol
Pete Waterman on executive production duties The Piranhas first came to prominence when DJ John Peel started playing their single "I Don't Want My Body" hmm
Man United use to sing this to us City fans.. (About our trophy drought) 34 years and still F all. 34 years and still F all. Man City comeback with 32k strong fans. (Average attendance 2 divisions down) 34 and we're still here. 34 and we're still here. How the times have changed..

LYRICS
Does anybody know how long 'til World War Three?
I wanna know, I've Gotta book me holidee
They want me in the army but I just can't go
I'm far too busy listening to the radio
The whole thing's daft - I don't know why
You have to laugh or else you'll cry
You have to live or else you'll die
You have to laugh or else you'll cry
My friends say that we're headed for a grotty time
It's just a bit of slapstick in the pantomime
We're headed for disaster but I just don't care
Just shut your eyes and count to ten you won't be there
The whole thing's daft - I don't know why
You have to laugh or else you'll cry
You have to live or else you'll die
You have to laugh or else you'll crySource: MusixmatchSongwriters: Rupert BopapeTom Hark lyrics © Beechwood Music Corporation, E.M.I. South Africa
Thank you :)
Thank you, King of Munster.
Many thanks for the lyrics, my first time actually knowing what the song is about, great song and lyrics, thanks again from a man of of Leinster...........
World war three is right round the corner now lol
Not long know ?
Automatic piss poor mood changing song. Thx to my pal in Scotland for sending it to me. 1st time I've heard it, and it won't be the last.
Reminds me of school discos. Early 1980s. Such happy times. xx
Legendary tune
I do the one, two , three fours. 😅 Rodney. It looks like band from only fools and horses. What a tune. The old family parties.
6 when this came out and it’s just as relevant today as it was in the Cold War.
This song is very relevant now. A nice little slice of doom and gloom disguised as a happy party song.
And on it goes!!!
AND STILL!
That's the British for ya! Dancing to Dooms Day
Reminds me of coming back from holiday in August 1980 on a beautiful Saturday and the motorway near Birmingham being full of football fans.
When i was young, I had no sense 🎶
Love it
He's got a magic whistle
i like the phrianahs the song tom hark by them i remember listening to the song back in 9080
Used to sing this at Sunderland AFC away games circa 1980. HAWAY THE LADS !!! 🔴⚪🔴⚪🔴
Anthem of the 'casuals'
“We’re on the piss,
we’re havin’ a laugh”
Rodri scored arsenal cried ,the gunners dreams have f*king died ,phil and kev running the show now we are winning 4 in a roww🩵🩵🤍

The drummer is the star here, especially with his antics in the first minute.
In England summer cricket match this song playing so I like so much
But not remember name
I never knew what this song was called, until someone mentioned it on a Facebook thread 😀
Well, now you know (Oh yes you do, you really do..!!)
I don't know what series of thoughts and associations led me here, but I'm glad they did
Definitely a winning tune for a winning goal played at high volume don't forget to dance 🙏❤️🇬🇧❤️🙏⚽️⚽️⚽️

British Artists/Music WERE/WAS the best!
Who listening 👂 2020?
"Can anybody tell how long until WW3?" Erm, I think it's approaching 😏
For some reason I always thought this was an Adam and the Ants song. Took me a while to find this song but I love it. And "Zambezi"! :-)
Dog soldiers, i think, when there out in the woods? what a classic when on a boring job
Awesome tune
Ive got this single i bought in 1980
We fought in France, we fought in Spain, we fought in the sun and we fought in the rain . We took the kop and Chelsea too but what we like most is kicking a blue
🤣😅
Absolute banger.... 🎶🎶🎶
“Does anybody know how long to world war 3, I wanna know, I gotta book my holiday” “The whole things daft, I don’t know why. You have to laugh or else you’ll cry” Is it just me, or is this the anthem for the world in 2022?
yeah only a few weeks to go till WW3. I'll be singing this song when Vlad drops the bomb on me
Well world war three is right round the corner, that’s why I’m part of a group called the minutemen, our cause is to help those in times of need, in case world war three does happen
@@Nick-zp3ub forgot about this, i orignally made this a preston garvey yt channel lmao
Ipswich Town 😀😀
Totally agree
1980 & we were shit scared of the Soviet Union 43 years later nothing has changed.
The opening line could have been written this week!
Lol at the drummer hitting the toms when there are hats playing.
None of them are playing any of their instruments its Top of the Pops. The drummer is playing with Rubber Fish.
I just realised on my 5th time watching today that the drummer is playing with fishes as drumsticks lol
It's the song for 2018! Thanks for the upload.
And 2022!
Living Brighton at the time. My boyfriend hated the band, only made me love it more.
Mint 👌🏻
You gotta feel for the Pirhanas. They make one hit but are not allowed to keep since all the football fans make their own versions.
This is their own version. The original is from the 1950s.
Ah, takes me back.
I saw my mate the other day,
He said to me he saw the white Pele,
So I asked, who is he,
He goes by the name of John Buckley
John Buckley John Buckley
He goes by the name of John Buckley
I must say young Christian Bale is doing a splendid job bashing those drums with his fish sticks...🧐
Love itb
Great tune, reminds me of being about 12 in the early 80's. I'm straight (am I allowed to say that) but the drummer looks pretty fit (from a guy envious way!), wish I had a body like that! lol
Four more to the England 🏏
Heard it playing on radio 2 had to find this.
2024 anyone
Wayne rooney, wayne rooney, he goes by the name of wayne rooney
When I concede a goal in the 95th minute to make it 2-1 this comes on

"City sing, I don't know why, cos after the match, you're gonna die". Often sung at Elland Road in the early 80s which they played Man City.
The sax player is looking gooooood
