- [Stereo] The British group perform their wildly successful number on USTV. The odd site of political statements painted on their shirts must have confused some of the mainstream viewers of this mainstream chat show, who are normally given a steady diet of well-dressed celebrities parading before their eyes.....
One of the most iconic songs of the 90’s and still brilliant in 2024❤
Still great after all these years! I'm 73 and just saw it for the first time, and love it.
At that age, you might *not* get up again!

It’s like they’re doing it as part of their community service
Charlie Havner that's hilarious. and accurate.😄
Ya man they are stiff, look pissed, and just looks like they hate being there.
Fucking love everything about this!
L M F A O. 4realz they’re not engaged. It’s like they were forced to make radio music
This song, I'm sure got extremely old and annoying to sing live for the band. Check out the trumpet player especially!
Love the shirt “One Hit Wonder”! True statement, but the song still slaps today!
That's ironic. They had many hits. This one here is overrated.
the "one hit wonder" t-shirt haahhaha... very nice
+Diego Junges, I guess they pissed too many nights away then.
They recorded 14 albums before breaking up in 2012
Was like...OWN IT, BOSS-MAN :D
"The Act" was way funnier i guess :D
Yeas they were.
This was such a fun song. I remember being at a bar in the late 90's and the whole place was singing and going crazy when this song played. ChumbaWamba struck a universal chord with this song.
I remember hearing this song while doing a data entry job at some people out in Sioux Falls, lol. We were allowed to wear headphones at work. This was 1997-1998. One of the chicks I worked with was a goth-punk, she must have loved this song :)
The Movie Champions featured this song and it was a great movie
you do realize that the following generation probably feels the same about gangnam style... there's one for every generation. it's a deliberate machine
They look so disappointed to have to be playing this song on the Tonight Show 😂 like "it's THIS one we have to play?"
Never met them , but friends have . These guys are genuine sweet hearted , conscious people . Love em
That’s just awesome as hell to. Can’t express how much I’d just fucking love getting pissed - which means drunk, right?! - with the entire band, and just throw down hardcore all night. That’d be a damn dream come true
Terminar hasta el gorro de pedo y perdido de tanto de alcohol por dentro y por fuera...
Bonitos recuerdos de juventud...
😏😏😏
@@eduardo...5292 "great guys, never met em"
It's nice to hear a legit live version instead of a lip sync live version.
I was just watching one of those and thought I needed to search for a real one 😂
I remember losing a basketball game back in elementary school, and on the way home played this song, turned it up and just started singing our hearts out hahaha. O the mems
Finally I understood this song after watching the movie "Brassed Off" (1996). Danny is campaigning -- tub-thumping -- to preserve his brass band of workers facing closure of their coal pit. Many take refuge in whiskey and lager drinks, pissing away their nights while longing for the good and better days. Yet the proud community of next-door neighbors remembers good and better times, vowing to be never kept down again. The workers someday again will be winning ... and singing!
The song is mocking hooligan type of people and "lifestylists." Lifestylism is an anarcho-babble insult for anarchists that don't pass the anarcho-purity litmus test and don't partake in the class struggle BS. Ironically, the people they were mocking took it up as some sort of anthem. It's one of the few Chumbawamba songs that isn't really political.
Actually this song was inspired by a neighbor who would show up in the middle of the night locked outside of his own house and falling over wasted from drinking at the bar.
bIametheniIe nope. they are anarchists themselves. they are not mocking it.
@@efeercelik5811 Yeah that's exactly what blamethenile said...
@@bIametheniIe Except when they shouted "Free Mumia Abu-Jamal" when they did it on Letterman.
I bloody LOVE this song ~makes this soon to be old man feel young again
These guys are my inspiration. I love all their songs, and they're unafraid to speak their minds, and they're also from my hometown
love it too and I am from the rotten pretentious selfish south. this is awesome and real
Leeds!!!!!
I've NEVER heard TUBTHUMPING played live before!!! It has such a distinct sound when it's played live!!! Awesome sauce!!! :) :) :)
I agree and great picture of Ann Frank.
Excellent voices which you wouldn’t really have known if they hadn’t performed it live. Great to hear such good voices. Real talent.
The sorts of melody of this song is never gonna get old.....the chorus is easy yet perfect
Damn this brings back memories! This song is so awesome and powerful! Yes it's about being knocked down from drinking but it's also about being knocked down by tough jobs, rough times, rough life and always getting back up! The end chorus I used to help me make it through some rough moments in my life! Thanks Chumbawamba! Shout out from Orlando, FL!
I suddenly appreciated a trumpet solo while watching this.
This song never gets old.. its a time machine from the past😊
That ‘ONE HIT WONDER’ shirt makes that particular band member seem way too self aware.
Chumbawamba is an incredibly self aware band. and tubthumping was basically a huge joke to the band and their reputation unfortunately
it's pretty rad
they're much liike Swedish band Refused in that sense...
Why not? 😅
The final trumpet section of the song is taken directly from the Prince of Denmark's March composed by Jeremiah Clarke around 1700.
I'm in love with the keyboard player, "pissing the night away", what a harmony line and she looks great in the video of the song!
Look them up, honestly. Listen to their older music if you haven't. They're a fucking anarcho punk band and they made this song pretty much specifically to essentially troll. They've let general motors use the rights to it for like $70k before and then turned around and donated all that money to the people protesting general motors. They're actually extremely fucking dope and I'm sure they got sick of performing this quick.
$70,000, not million :)
And even (or maybe because) all that, Tubthumping is still an absolute banger. Not as good as Timebomb, tho.
The only silly thing I see here is the stupidity of the criticism you have made against this band. I'm going to give you two tips, and I don't care if you take them into account or not. "Hypocrisy is one of the many human attitudes, whether good or bad, and there has never been as much in the past as in the present, a single person who lacks this characteristic." And the second piece of advice is: "never bite the hand that feeds you."

Whether its a one hit wonder, atleast they became significant at some point of music history which not every is lucky enough
한국에서도 듣습니다 ^^ 지금들어도 아주 멋진곡입니다
여자 보컬들의 화음이 너무 좋아요..계속 2025년에도 듣네요
I love that they’re singing and playing live. Nice job Chumbas!!!
Have just come home from seeing Dunstan's "Am I Invisible Yet" in Warsaw, and meeting the dude after the show. We just had a couple of wines.
Cool dude.
Me hubiera gustado vivir los 90's. Tienen una estetica y estilo tan unico.
Fui adolescente en los 90 y tenía la sospecha que sería la última década importante en las modas musicales.
신나요^^
노래 완전 좋아요😃
This is my first time hearing them live. Impressive.
.. I agree! This was a great performance. This song is a tuffy to do live and they hit it right on the money... "Incredimazing!"
En los 90' esta era la canción más importante. De verdad.!!
@@speedyaraujo766 Pues has entendido mal :v
You guys are phenomenal
Brilliant song, simple lyrics but is a classic now ❤️👌
Well they can certainly play live, great performance.
their early recordings are brilliant
as are their later ones
These guys would’ve been huge in the 00s if this song came out 6-8 years later.
28-05-2021 who listen to that in 2021
I remember that song from PlayStation 1 fifa 2000 cd game
Peace and love FROM morocco .
I love them. They’re like robots.
They should re-release this for Covid 19. It would be a great anthem for hope.
@Catholic Firefighter honestly saying Trump 2020 is not a great idea which listening to a song by an anarchist punk group
@Catholic Firefighter I mean, you're not wrong on that field, however i'm sure they would disagree with you on the Trump 2020 thing.
But don't worry, vote for who you wanna vote, everyone's entitled to an opinion :) I don't really have a favourite in the 2020 US elections, as I haven't really read up on the manifestos yet + I live in the UK so I haven't had chance to pay attention
EDIT - Also anarcho-capitalism is a thing
@Catholic Firefighter I actually know them. They're more just very left-wing.
@Catholic Firefighter think you're confusing with law abiding
@Catholic Firefighter 2021
Muito ótimo, esse som é um resumo do que eu ouvia em minha adolescência !!
First time I listen to this in a live version. And I've bought the single back then. Awesome. 🤘🎹
I get Locked Down!
And I get up again !
@@powerpopaholic876 And go out again
@@johngamer2007 we get locked down!
[trumpet solo]
I like how they walk forward during the chorus
A moment lost in history.
Yeah, it may have been a 'One Hit Wonder', but it's still a great song 25 years later! Love this live version...
I love the tee-shirt "One Hit Wonder". Such a fun song, you can tell the band are having the time of their lives.
I miss the 90’s.
I love this song! Great!
The irony of the One Hit Wonder shirts is AMAZING!
How is it ironic? This was their only big hit. So the shirt was reality instead of sarcasm. Plus it’s one of the corniest songs ever made. An older woman who sings like my mom sings about her constant beer piss. Then at one point she sings “Danny Boy” and it makes me cringe. All of it does though. Every second.
@@DONTLEAVESOSOON The irony is that they probably didn't think they were going to be one-hit wonders when choosing to wear the shirt. But they did become one-hit wonders. The song sucks but it was definitely a big hit back then. I never liked it.
@@xinurdyingarmsx They were anarcho-punks, who knew they would be banned from the industry for constantly disrespecting their label and throwing water to public figures, they pretty much knew they would only have this hit (they had been making music for 15 years at this point, they felt accomplished already ).
well if you are only going to have one big hit they sure wrote a GOOD ONE!
caramba essa banda e muito legal saudades
Love the one hit wonder shirt! lmfao!
Sounds great, love this song and the nailed it love too
For all those impacted by the devastating fires in LA today, I hope this song can offer some inspiration. It's helped me through many hard times over the years.
Hermosos e inolvidables 90's
Прекрасно хорошая музыка и песня ❤❤Константин и леопольд
The 90's was absolutely DOPE 💯
that one hit wonder shirt he wears while singing this song cracked me up! xD my god im dying no for real lol
They all seem sooooo tense 😅
One song that when taken literally would still be fun. Reminds me my days in high school
Better to take it figuratively.
At night, the time of darkness, we flush out the toxins and are thus ready to get up again.
The song is about Resurrection and resilience.
The first two drinks are the water of life and a little water, the third and fourth drinks less positively associated - lager is a word that means "confined in a space", while cider is made from the apples of temptation and original sin.
The song is also about love transcending sorrow - hence the special references to "Danny Boy" and "Don't cry for me, Argentina" (as modified in a very telling way).
A song that reminds me of good times… 🍻
0:59 LMAO his T-shirt recognizing that they are a ONE HIT WONDER! LOL so funny!
I noticed that too and I can't stop laughing because it's a fact
Exactly what I thought!!!!!
Lmao a white sweater with the words “One hit wonder,” on it. I remember this performance. Chumbawamba if dry humor had a song genre😂
We'll be singing
When we're winning

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Oh, Danny Boy

But I get up again

Enfim vou poder comentar o que eu sempre quis sobre essa música o papel da percussionista é tão importante quanto olhos azuis em um cadáver
My question is this: given their political and economic leanings, did they donate any of the millions they earned toward any social program? If they kept it all, I would submit their political and socio-economic ideals are for show.
Left
They did.
Vcs eram uma banda foda 😭😭😭😭 porque acabou 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fucking epic slogans. 26 years later and I’m just thinking how epic their statement was that they got to do on American television because they “sold out” was. Just epic!
Love this song.
Absolutely amazing! Great Britain all the way!
Please a moment of silence for all those still searching for this song.
Such a great song!!
From brazil, my opnion the best american music
Desde Panamá, bendiciones.
Magníficos!!!
Love this song 😍❤️
No pensé que está canción pudiera tocarse en vivo y sonara tan bien.
I Like this song, greetings from Colombia
When I did listen to that song that woman creeped me out
They still meet up in Billy Bragg’s squat in Notting Hill.
Three lyrics have changed mee life
My childhood song, didn’t understood lyrics that time 😂
1997 is one helluva drug
Absolute banger
I love song.. 🙌 📻 FIFA World Cup France 98.. ⚽️ 🔊 ❤ For Nintendo 64.. 📺 🎮
이노래 완전좋아합니다
Why is this ??? The Tonight Show has been recorded in stereo since the late '70s.
As hip as Jay Leno is compared to Johnny Carson, I'm sure the late night audience was rather shocked by this great performance 24 years ago...
One of my best songs from 1997,Chumbawamba Tubthumping,I know all the words to this song as well,Also remember fist coming out in the 90's
The girl in the front plays trumpet away . But pissing a night away makes this song. Jim Breuer. 90s radar went off the charts
que buena canción de los 90's
listen to early chumba songs to really understand this band
We'll be singing when we're winning
The girl is beautiful and talented.
The song is called "Tubthumping"; the album is "Tubthumper".
"One hit wonder". They predicted their own future.
They never expected or expected to ever have a hit. They cared about telling the truth and the music. Nothing more.
Lots of great memories!! 🤘🏻
If you ever sing a one-hit wonder, this is it!!
The good old days
Love this song ❤❤❤
Damn, that was good.
Good old days!
