Something For The Weekend is taken from the 1996 album Casanova. iTunes: / casanova-2020-reissue Amazon Store: www.amazon.co.... #TheDivineComedy #NeilHannon
I've been to Slovenia several times on caving expeditions. Some of those mountain roads are pretty slippery. Two of the cars I've been travelling in have had problems going around some of those hair-pin bends and we weren't going that fast. On one occasion we were going at less than 20mph in a large 4x4 but we still managed to aquaplane and the only thing that stopped us going over the edge was crashing into a road sign. Bit of a brown trouser moment!
@@ivanleg what a small world it'd be. Strange little coincidences happen all the time. I'm from the midlands myself but made a friend in Nottingham. When I went on holiday to the U.S, we stayed at a hotel with a pool and I heard an English accent, they told me they were from Nottingham and I jokingly asked if they knew the one person I knew from there. They were friends with her sister. 3 years later I was on holiday in Tunisia and on a tour bus to Carthage, the person sitting in front of me turned round and addressed me by name. She was in my year at school but with a totally new image, the face was unmistakable though. Life is strange and wonderful sometimes, no?

Never really considered you guys as Britpop. That was 1995/1996 with Blur pretending to be The Small Faces, Oasis pretending to be The Beatles, Elastica & a bunch of cheap knock-offs jumping on the 'Cool Britannia' sound bandwagon for a few years. This is not generic or derivative in any way-just great pop/rock music .
If this was the only song The Divine Comedy ever did I would still like them. I dare you not to sing along to this song. One of the catchiest songs you will ever hear. Thank you Neil Hannon and (in this video only) the incredibly sexy woman he's chasing through Venice.
I remember hearing this song back in 1996 on San Francisco modern rock radio. I thought it was a great tune back then, and my friends and I would use "There's something in the woodshed" as a non sequitur during conversations in bars and clubs. Makes me chuckle remembering. I forgot about the song in the years since, but recently Spotify recommended I listen to The Divine Comedy based on my music tastes. The name sounded vaguely familiar but meant nothing to me. I gave the album CASANOVA a spin and "Hey! 'Something for the Weekend'! I remember that song! There's something in the woodshed!" CASANOVA led me to A SHORT ALBUM ABOUT LOVE and ... I'm hooked. I'm sad and frustrated The Divine Comedy doesn't have the audience it deserves in the States, but goddam!, I'm glad I get to feed my ears with the music now. I've got 30 years and 11 albums to catch up on, and it's all a fresh discovery for me. My new favorite is past perfect. Thank you!
Neil Hannon est la façon dont vous dites en anglais, l’un des écrivains et chanteurs les plus novateurs et originaux. Dire qu’il est un génie n’est pas un euphémisme. J’adore cette piste.
Lyrics She said "There's something in the woodshed And I can hear it breathing It's such an eerie feeling, darling" He said "There's nothing in the woodshed It's your imagination End of the conversation, darling" Something in his heart told him to come clean He was not who he claimed to be Something in his genes told him to pretend 'Twas something for the weekend But she said "There's something in the woodshed I know because I saw it I can't simply ignore it, darling" So he said "Now baby, don't be stupid Get this into your sweet head There ain't nothing in the woodshed (except maybe some wood)" Something in his heart told him to come clean He was not who he claimed to be Something in his jeans told him to pretend 'Twas something for the weekend "I'll go all the way with you, if you'll only do the same for me, go and see If it's nothing like you say, then you can have your wicked way with me" He went down to the woodshed They came down hard on his head Gagged and bound and left for dead When he woke she was gone with his car and all of his money
Oh my goodness, the memories...I was a DJ on my little college radio station in the late 90s and I played this song all the time! I literally just listened to it again for the first time in probably close to 18 years...I kind of feel like crying!
I remember seeing The Divine Comedy on Chanel 4 in 1996 when they were showing the legend that was Gay Byrne's Late Late Show. They also did the Father Ted theme. They were great.
I loved music and I still do but I wasn't one for buying albums but I bought the cassnova album. Totally amazing album. Becoming more like Alfie and Charge were excellent.
I lived in an cottage with a woodshed when this came out back in the 90s!! I love this song soooo much, it means so much to me. Thank you Divine Comedy :))
I bought the CD Casanova when it was released but I have never seen this video-clip before! Thank you for this upload. This record is still my favourite LP twenty years later... and I've heard a thousand LPs.
I had this song playing in a dream last night and had to listen! Something about the year of 1996. In fact, the mid-nineties, living thru them was hard and now im nostalgic for those mad, crazy times.
I drove my rental car off a mountain in the rain in Slovenia after getting a bit excited singing along to this! I was fine, the car not so much...
Wonderful story.... Unfortunate for the car, but at least you're alright :)

@@speleokeir I knew a dude who went caving in Slovenia when I worked in Horsham, West Sussex in the late 90s/early 00s. Is that you?
You didn't know what for.
You didn't feel like driving any more.

"There's nothing in the woodshed, except maybe some wood"
This guy is a lyrical genius.
awesome stevepafford.com/sftw/
I know . . . One of the best lines ever
I was thinking exactly the same thing. There's genius here!!
Never fails to make smile
Such an awesome line! My family quote it to each other all the time! 😂
Neil Hannon is so underrated. A perfect slice of pop genius!
I would go back to the 1990s like a shot if it was possible.
What an amazing decade of music and creativity
Which is hilarious because 90s divine comedy was always a throwback to the 60s/70s
This song always reminds me of watching TFI Friday before going out and meeting up with mates down the pub
I was just thinking about watching the DC play this on TFI
Same used to watch it pissed when I got home from pub to
Exactly spot on! same for me :)
home from work.
4 Stella's.
2 doves.
pub.
all nighter.
home.
1994-1996
Wiiiiiiillll, Wiiiiiilllllll

The blokes a genius, talented, original and brilliant to see live,,,,, no multi-tracks or digital enhancements, just shear musical talent.
On tour again later this year 😎
Funny how some songs you just have to keep coming back to. ..❤
Masterpiece of all time. I end up coming back to appreciate it again and again.

i was living in england in 96 gives me so many good memories hearing this song again, made me 22 again!!
I haven't listened to this in ages. Bring back the 90s lol
I used to go out pricing jobs every Saturday for my landscape company, I nearly always played this song...for 15 years 😂
It's a cushy lil tune and not many playing this up the sites😂 but musics music 😊
Took my girl Lara Croft around these canals back in the 90s. Good times.
Neil is a poet for the ages.
Brilliant, imaginative, talented group.
I used to play this so loud in the car my wife could hear me coming, great song.
Still loving this ,, I played this to my young nephews and they loved it … class is class 😁

Last night Neil played live in Milan, Italy.
A wonderful gig, thank you, we love you.
Sì, è stato un grande concerto. Avevamo un'ottima vista dalla galleria.
I was at one of the gigs at the charmed life tour in Halifax, England and it was brilliant
My best years .
These videos are pure art.
Thank you graham norton for introducing me to this banger of a song
Omg that key change ❤❤
Reminds me of postal strikes in 1996 and traffic jams in Reading
I love this band and Neil Hannon's voice.It reminds
me a bit of Bowie's voice,
as it's deep.Clever songwriting in this band.
And Scott Walker it seems.. RIP
She said, there's something in the woodshed. Brilliant .
21.11.2022~🎧🎥🎼🎼🎵🎶🎶🎶🎤Quel Talent❣️Tout est PARFAIT💎💎💎...🥀de France.
Saw this band singing this song. How great is the song and what a great band. I instantly became a fan!!!
Class and British charm and superb album which is extracted this song. thank you Neil from France !!
"I'll go all the way with you
If you'll only do the same for me - go and see" - classic.
I used to bounce my baby boy on my knee to this song , he is now 17 and a foot taller than me aww where has the time gone , happy memories :)
Kath Clarke he’s now 23. Eeek!
I'm working on a time machine..it wont be long now.
Reminds me of happy times in college. Divine Comedy got me through some rough times. xoxo
I love this song ♥️♥️♥️
Great band, great voice,great lyrics.
About time all DC's videos were available on one mega dvd collection
This reminds me of London 90's. being from the north it's a eye opener going to the big smoke for first time,

Grande Música..
Brilliant song. I wondered if this song was about the film ... Scream of fear.
reminds me of listening to mark and lard on radio 1 and a really miserable school trip to Snowdonia.
La classe totale, non?????? Oui tous les matins du monde.....je l'écoute....!!!
Very clever song. Genius
What a great song! So catchy! And I only heard it for the first time tonight! 😁
I worked in a record shop when this was new, and didn't really appreciate hearing this album constantly. Now I listen to it constantly, and I love it!
Just come across this. Classic!! What a track.
I love, love, love his music, mad lyrics and sophisticated voice. Always have, always will! ❤
Lyrics
She said "There's something in the woodshed
And I can hear it breathing
It's such an eerie feeling, darling"
He said "There's nothing in the woodshed
It's your imagination
End of the conversation, darling"
Something in his heart told him to come clean
He was not who he claimed to be
Something in his genes told him to pretend
'Twas something for the weekend
But she said "There's something in the woodshed
I know because I saw it
I can't simply ignore it, darling"
So he said "Now baby, don't be stupid
Get this into your sweet head
There ain't nothing in the woodshed (except maybe some wood)"
Something in his heart told him to come clean
He was not who he claimed to be
Something in his jeans told him to pretend
'Twas something for the weekend
"I'll go all the way with you, if you'll only do the same for me, go and see
If it's nothing like you say, then you can have your wicked way with me"
He went down to the woodshed
They came down hard on his head
Gagged and bound and left for dead
When he woke she was gone with his car and all of his money
Brilliant
My kids love this song.......especially singing along at the end.
I know this this song to death, for years....... but only after REALLY REALLY LISTENING to it.... 20-30 years later......what a work of GENIUS....
Neil Hannon is awesome!
I love this,first heard it on the Mark Radcliffe night time show on Radio 1,one of the best radio shows ever.Thanks for the upload.
superb a true classic of the nineties
love love love this song....reminds me of a mad mate. We used to dance like fools to this
I heard it on the radio, and after looking around for a while, I found it!
Love it.
"Something in his heart, told him to compete". Brilliant.:))
brings back g8 memorys of me and an ex driving along the motorway,it would always be on radio 1,god i miss those days
Plenty of charm and sauce….without actually lyrically intending to!
my drum teacher was the percussionist for this band ^___^
Nice shuffle beat
That's a good flex...
What a song!!
timeless brilliance
Oh my goodness, the memories...I was a DJ on my little college radio station in the late 90s and I played this song all the time! I literally just listened to it again for the first time in probably close to 18 years...I kind of feel like crying!
I did college radio 1995-7, loved it. Spent breaks arguing over the all important playlist 😄
Nostalgic memories!! brilliant song
Concordo in pieno.
I reckon this man is a bloody genius
Being a fellow Irish man too right.
Such a great anthem! 15 years since it was released still so good!
Amazing 😊
Incredible that Neil was only 26 when this came out...
This is a classic.
"Oh come on!....you know you want to"
I remember seeing The Divine Comedy on Chanel 4 in 1996 when they were showing the legend that was Gay Byrne's Late Late Show. They also did the Father Ted theme. They were great.
"are" great. Still going strong
One of my fave tracks ever! This classic drew me instantly when it came out. Total Divine Comedy fan, ever since.
It's so fkn cheesy, bot looooooove it
Happy Casanova Day!
#Casanova Released on 29th April, 1996

I first heard this song in 1998 and was irrevocably hooked on TDC. And yet I'd never seen this lovely video before today. All hail Neil Hannon!
Tdc 😂 when I scrolled and saw your comment I thought I'd missed out on a 90s dance drug but this tune is better than drugs❤
Excellent band and song !!!!!!!
Just brilliant!
It's got Scott Walker written all over it, but its still brilliant
"But"?, if anything it just makes it better
applies to this entire album, especially "the dogs and the horses". love both walker and this group.
Excellent tune.
Love there songs . You cant take them too seriously just so tongue in cheek
I mis the 90's soooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought the CD Casanova when it was released but I have never seen this video-clip before! Thank you for this upload. This record is still my favourite LP twenty years later... and I've heard a thousand LPs.

I've found this music by chance.
When it was popular, I liked it very much.
magnificent and a masterpiece and thank you.
Grande Música. Muito Bom.
Well am I alone in 2021 appreciating this classic….
It 18th Feb 2023 as I write this. Neil Hannon and this track transports me back to the 90s.
Genius used to listen to this on my Walkman
There is nothing in the woodshed..........except maybe some wood! lol!
Tracey Boyce, Drumtara, Ballymena Northern Ireland 2002. This for you and the pup. Dont forget the jam 😉x
I had this song playing in a dream last night and had to listen! Something about the year of 1996. In fact, the mid-nineties, living thru them was hard and now im nostalgic for those mad, crazy times.
Still love this song and national express 👍😉❤️
