[@arletinesohn2426]

Totally underrated song. Best song of Jimmy Sommerville.

[@x42brown33]

Just a note that Jimmy Sommerville did not write this George Gershwin did in 1935. This is probably the best redition of it.

[@rikymarunight]

​@@x42brown33yeah it's the best

[@SmartRobot-wc2fb]

Definitely 1 of his back catalog best tracks! So underrated nowadays!

[@lnr243]

When the world listened talented singers and quality music..This guy was absolutely brilliant.

[@eleanorwalmsley635]

[@retrosound72]

Rest in Peace Steve! Thank you for the music.

[@youngspit89]

[@zezettefelix7267]

Je ne savais pas que Steve Bronski était décédé la semaine dernière😢😢😢, je connaissais la version jazz, mais la version de Bronski Beat est super avec la clarinette de Steve Bronski au début et la voix de Jimmy Somerville.🤗🤗👍👍👍

[@angelaandersons7918]

I luurve when Delboy sings a blast of this on the one where he falls through the bar, yuppy love, on only fools x

[@stephenpowell5912]

Just Classic after 37 years ago ,In 2021 It's still a great tune by Bronski Beat with Singer Jimmy Somerville.

[@martineamonnugent8378]

Just class

[@didiervandijk9713]

Actually this was a Gershwin composition

[@costeris35]

Didn’t know that. Thank you, I checked out the Gershwin song straight away.

[@adamwheeldon]

rip steve bronski

[@jeremyhaines3847]

RIP Steve Bronski who has sadly passed away today 😢🙏

[@michaelnedsmar9106]

They both died on the same date,

[@ViniciusdiCopa]

The melody of this wonderful song was strongly influenced by the Brazilian rhythm, called "Bossa Nova". 🇧🇷🇧🇷👊🏻😉.

[@SmartRobot-wc2fb]

@Vinicius-mg1lg: In a way, most probably...although this is sort of an american spiritual standard...

[@meropale]

This version, yes. The Gerhwin song itself was composed before bossa nova.

[@meropale]

[@JessicaSantos-ji2nj]

"De todas essa é a mais foda'.

[@fredziffle447]

3 great looking men

[@amandaeverall2909]

Man I don't feel so ghood

[@cathykinsella6729]

I’m usually wary of covers of Gershwin songs but this was so original it’s brilliant and that intro you could listen to forever

[@jeremyhaines4481]

Jimmy somerville is a class musician and songwriter x

Excellente interprétation

[@mickeytipp]

Love this track but this performance is from the last weekly edition of the show broadcast on 20th December '84 and not the actual Christmas show which was broadcast on Christmas Day.

[@clarakop]

[@santiagorussi6790]

Wonderfull

[@normwilliamson2990]

[@karenscigliano9787]

This song is such a nice way to say it's all fairy tales designed to control the masses...but the truth has to be given with lotsa sugar, which Jimmy and the boys deliver in heaping spoonfuls🐳that make it all taste sooooogooood💋

[@Dunlaoghairepunkers]

I WAS MY SON

[@Dunlaoghairepunkers]

NOW HE IS ME

[@Bury1969]

[@marielacey7928]
