-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - Фільми й анімація
This 10cc reggae classic about a white man's experiences while holidaying in Jamaica is based on real events that occurred in Barbados, where Eric Stewart of 10cc and Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues took a vacation in 1977. Hayward was left on a boat with two guys from Barbados and one from Jamaica. Stewart recalled in the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner & Spencer Leigh, "Justin and I were on a para-sailing raft in the middle of the ocean and I was strapped into this parachute gear. I was towed behind a speedboat at high speed. I took off and waved goodbye to Justin. He was then left on the raft with three black guys, one Jamaican and two from Barbados. The Jamaican guy said to Justin, 'I like your silver chain, man, I'll give you a dollar for it.' Justin replied, 'come on, it's worth a lot more than that and it's a present from my mother.' And this guy said, 'If this was Jamaica, I would cut your hand off for that.' I came back and asked Justin if he wanted to have a go. He said, 'No, let's get off this raft as quick as we can, I have had some problems.' When we got back to England, I relayed the story to Graham (Gouldman) and we wrote a song around it."
How about some more Roots Reggae !!
Peter Tosh- Legalize It!!
Congratulations, a Justin Hayward story that I hadn't heard before. And one he's not going to want to discuss publicly, in the politically correct C21st...😀...
Wearing expensive jewelry to cities or countries known for theft is simply not wise. My aunt visited Naples once and her bracelet fell out from under her sleeve when she pointed at an item in a market. The shop owner pointed at it and said, “no, no!” My aunt quickly hid it back up under her sleeve. My aunt knew better. You see, she didn’t live in Naples at the time, but she had lived there for years a decade before that.
Wow. I’ve never heard this story. Sounds totally plausible. Thanks for sharing.
Cool trivia.
10cc was so brilliant and creative and smart that most people just didn't get it. But that's another reason why we liked them.
“Good Morning Judge” is my favourite by 10cc, very underrated
I second that
" I'm in trouble please put me away. "
I was just going to suggest that one!
Some great guitar licks in this song.
"I fell in love and I drove it away..."
Rubber Bullets next!! Like if you agree! Couldn't believe it was 10cc when I heard it what a versatile band.
Their 3 British number one singles were Rubber Bullets, I'm Not in Love and Dreadlock Holiday. They sound so different they could be by 3 different bands. Also a different lead singer on each - Lol Creme, Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman respectively.
It does sound like a lost Beach Boys song.
One of the best creative bands ever. Someone said try Wall St Shuffle. I will repeat try Wall St Shuffle!
"Things We Do For Love" and "I'm Mandy Fly Me" would be the best next steps to go with them, though if you wanna try something really wild, try "Une Nuit in Paris".
Also ‘Don’t hang up’ always repeated in my head after hearing it.
I'm Mandy Fly Me is an absolute classic. Talk about Beatlesque. I could easily be Paul doing it.
Glad you liked this, chaps. 10cc were such an eclectic band. Their songs were really so clever. Try I'm Mandy Fly Me next. You'll love it.
Yeah I believe you, these musicians are master instrumental players!
Perhaps the greatest song ever written that’s about some guys fantasy of being in a plane crash and then being saved by the beautiful flight attendant he saw on an airline poster 😀
Need to listen to Clockwork Creep as I'm Mandy is the sequel 😊
@@karlhayes1077 I didn't realise that. Thanks
Be ready, boys. You don’t have to get very deep with 10cc before things are less and less commercial and more and more experimental.
Godley and Creme were the experimental half of 10CC.
Also for clarification on the voices in "I'm Not in Love": They are all voices recorded by members of the band, but they were all recorded as tape loops which were then controlled via the mixing console in a manner similar to synths on a keyboard, which was very innovative for it's time pre-sampling.
I NEVER thought I’m a million years you guys would do this song. I’ve been listening since nearly day one. This is a jam 🙌 Even my teenager loves it. Not as well known.
10cc songs are mostly tongue-in-cheek. My absolute favourite is the truly unique "Une Nuit A Paris" which is almost like a short musical movie with no video.
And released in the same year but ahead of Queens ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’
Yeah, it was never a single so it won't get reacted to, but it's amazing. A mini opera.
10cc were the best Art rock band ever!
10cc is one of a handful of bands that are top tier writers/musicians but kept their sense of humor.
Holy shit! I haven't heard this amazing song in years. This just made me very happy.
Graham Gouldman is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. He just tells a story in every one
10cc was such a creative and versatile band, all four guys were song writers, singers and played multiple instruments. Although this song came out after Godley and Creme had left, it is still a banger.
Some more songs to check out: Good morning judge, Rubber bullets, The wall street shuffle, I'm Mandy fly me, The things we do for love, Feel the love.
From Godley and Creme: An Englishman in New York, Cry.
And 5 O'Clock In The Morning, by Godley & Creme, from the Consequences album, 'And the toothpaste like a snake has slithered....'
Waaaaaaaait. The things we do for love is 10cc???!!! I LOVED THAT SONG when I was a kid. Like, LOOOOOOVED.
Art for Art's Sake another good one
@@erickvermeulen9734it is a great song for sure. Love the lyrics but the melody is killer.
10cc was quite a foursome - all could sing and play multiple instruments, all could write songs, and their production techniques were brilliant.
Wouldn't it be great if cool music like this was still made.
Having just watched England beat Australia in an epic match, all England will be singing “I don’t like cricket; I love it”!
330 am in oz 😢
Great test series, great musical accompaniment
That was bloody amazing 🏏
It's basically England versus England culturally
Stuart Broad, legend
10cc were great story tellers! Greame Gouldman - genius !
Graham Gouldman wrote the 60s hits ‘For your love’ for the yardbirds and the classic ‘Bus Stop’ for the Hollies together with ‘No milk today’ for Herman’s hermits long before he joined up with 10cc. great songwriter.
Do the Wall St. Shuffle.
Hey… Howard Hughes, did your money make you better?
“Good Morning, Judge” from the 1977 album Deceptive Bends is very cool sonically.
I am SO glad you liked this song!! You have to watch the video. It's fun.
Still stands up after all these years. So catchy, and the production and engineering are spot on.
The legendary Graham Gouldman was the lead guitarist and wrote/co-wrote most of the songs for 10 CC. He also wrote the hit songs For Your Love and Heart Full of Soul for the Yarbirds along with Bus Stop and Look Through Any Window for The Hollies along with numerous hits for various other bands before co-founding 10CC.
'Feel the Benefit' i, ii and iii. Eleven and a half minutes of guitar perfection.
Never gets old. I don't like this song. I LOVE IT!🤩
10cc has always been one of my favorite groups. They were one of those bands that the minute there discs would hit the record store, I was there to get it. Very 10cc, very wonderful!!
I don't like this song, I LOVE IT!
Not a hit in the US, just played on cool FM stations. Huge hit in Europe.
I agree, I LOVE IT!!. I would have guessed that it was a bigger hit in US than I just now read about. I heard it on cool FM stations A LOT.
Huge hit down here in New Zealand too - now always used in cricket and rum commercials 😂
I always thought of this as their biggest song.
@@marksmith0209same In australia
Love this one!
They are genius. The album was advertised in the UK in 1978 with the slogan "Make your presents heard". 10cc forever. Still listen to their albums and I never tire of them.
‘Second sitting for the last supper’, I’m Mandy fly Me’, ‘Art For Arts Sake’ and of course the brilliant ‘Clockwork Creep’ and if nome of those peak your curiosity then you surely have to try ‘The worst band in the world’.
Also, the West Indies won two cricket world cups in the 70s and were also starting to become a formidable test cricket team, which continued through the 80s.
They are a next level band. Do more.
"I'm Mandy Fly Me" is another great one! Love their creativity!!
A&A, you'll love their "The Things We Do For Love" !!! (for song #3).
edit- more reggae? - Jimmy Cliff - "The Harder They Come", Third World - "Now That We Found Love",
Bob Marley - "Could You Be Loved", "Is This Love", "Jammin' " and "Get Up Stand Up".
A big thumbs up for Now That We Found Love, also a big fan of Lagos Jump, hanging on to my 12 inch single.
When Reggae broke big in the late '70s, a lot of white bands (esp. British) tried their hand at it, because it was such a new and profound experience. The Stones, Led Zepplin's D'yer Mak'er (which, when pronounced a certain way, sounds like Jamaica), The Clash, and, of course, much of the Police.
As to where to go next for Reggae, any of Marley's big hits are great, but also check out Peter Tosh, esp. anything from his album Legalize It, one of the genre's great albums. Also, Bunny Wailer, Lee 'Scratch' Perry (weird, experimental, fun, hugely influential on modern DJs), Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Cliff ... they should all get you started with come classic stuff.
But not all were able to do it remember Zepplin had to hire a Reggae backing band for D'yer Mak'er after they couldn't get the timing down, hence their reluctance to play live.
Don't forget 2Tone!
The influence of Jamaican music was huge in Britain in the 70 s and 80s when I was growing up - lots of reggae and ska from bands like The Specials, UB40 and The Beat. The wave of immigration from the Caribbean had a massive influence on British culture.
It's a nice change from the constantly played 'I'm Not In Love'. They were very skilled and indulged their sense of humour.
Give a listen to Head Room (nudge, nudge). Or 'Second Sitting For The Last Supper'.
"Sheet Music" is a criminally underrated album recorded by the original line up of 10cc. As with this song, the sound is totally different than the syrupy stuff the later line up put out. "Wall Street Shuffle" and "The Worst Band In The World" are two cuts that immediately come to mind
Not a weak track on that album. By far my favorite.
Love Love love that album
Indeed. The Bloody Tourists album is crap in comparison.
This song was one of my 1st karaoke songs performed. This band was so great. Their masterpiece was Feel the Benefit. You owe it to your historic education to react to it next. Thanks for reacting to Dreadlock Holiday!
Some GFs and I used to go dancing at 'reggae' night at this club on Thursday nights back in the 90s. I loved it so much - this tune was featured often.
You guys need to check out Dread Zeppelin A reggae Led Zep band with an Elvis impersonator for Lead Vocal!
They're version Black Dog rocks!
Or Hayseed Dixie, bluegrass AC/DC
Personal favorite: Heartbreaker Hotel
@@michaeldowson6988 TortElvis Rocks! lol I wore the 5,000,000,000 cd out in my '85 Conversion van!
The BossHoss: a German Country Western band that covers hip-hop. Can’t make it up, but their Hey Ya is a hoot!
Groovin´to a little reggae. It is a strange and wonderful song. More kudos to 10cc and to you guys for the review. Ya mahn.
I haven't heard this in decades... I didn't appreciate it until my first visit to the Caribbean. I was just out of my teens, and it was an unexpected jolt to realize I really was in a foreign country.
My favorite 10cc tune from 1977s Deceptive Bends called Feel the Benefit. An awesome tune with a great guitar solo at the end.
Thanks for getting to my request!
if you haven't hit "Mother and Child Reunion" by Paul Simon yet, then I recommend it as your next reggae song.
Yezzz!
"Feel the benefit" - awesome song by these crazy guys as well.
LOVE this song!! Thank you for the opportunity to listen undistracted and with HEADPHONES. And I can appreciate it now in a different way(s) hearing your comments. OK, Alex you must definitely get versed on authentic reggae, not the ska bands you didn't like.
One Night in Paris/Une Nuit a Paris is probably the 10cc magnum opus.
This is one of those songs from my teen years that my friends and I made our own in a goofy kind of way. Anytime someone would mention something that they didn’t like, for example: if someone said “Yeah, I don’t like hotdogs“ the rest of us would chime in…”I love them”. It was just one of those things. Great song by a great band.
An evergreen classic, will never fade.
You really need to understand cricket and the Caribbean and Expat obsession for the game to get the most from this song. Its just so good. Great video of Graham Gouldman talking about the origins of the song, really worth a watch, he wrote some of the most iconic 60's songs for other bands.
Half of 10CC- Kevin Godley and Lol Creme- had an incredible song called An Englishman in New York.
This is not to be confused with Sting’s “Englishman in New York”
They also had "Cry"
For many years I could remember a song with the refrain "strange apparatus", but I didn't know who it was by. I thought it sounded a bit like Queen, but I didn't think it was them because I thought that it would get played more if it was. Then one day I just decided to search online using those 2 words and discovered in seconds that it was An Englishman in New York.
The harder they come by Jimmy Cliff could be the next!
This was a huge radio hit when I was very young and I loved it. In junior high I went out and bought ten CC's greatest hits. And surely someone in the comments has already talked about the origin of the band name, lol. Kind of like Steely Dan in a way.
There is such a rich treasure trove of Bob Marley and the Wailers across many albums and their sound evolved with every single album of course. So many great things from all along the way and I bet you've heard a lot more of them than you think you have. Or at least parts of them.
But as someone who owned all of their albums and even covered some of their songs in a reggae band I was in at one point in my late twenties, I think a really great starting point is his final album before he died, Uprising. The studio production on this is mindblowing even today, and everything on it is fire. But then again you can say that about most of his albums. My favorite somewhat older album is Kaya.
Actually, I bet you would have a great time working your way through Uprising song by song like you did with some other bands. But if nothing else, check out, from Uprising, The Work Song.
“The things we do for Love” is probably their best song.
I know you guys wouldn't like this song, you'd LOVE it! ❤
When I listen to 10cc I end up with Art for Art’s sake and Good Morning Judge.
10cc were an amazing band brilliant, one if the greats easily covered all bases
Probably the most commercial thing 10cc did. If you want to hear the real 10cc try 'Une Nuit a Paris', 'Brand New Day', 'I'm Mandy Fly Me', 'Worst Band In The World' then head off into Godley and Creme's solo stuff
After Kevin Godley and Lol Creme left 10cc they formed their own group (called, of all things, "Godley and Creme"). They had a pretty big hit with "Cry," which I'd love for you to react to. I think you'd like it.
Cry is fantastic
How could I have never heard this song??Great beat, smooth groove!
Thanks!
What I always liked about 10CC is you never knew what to expect. ✌
And they always slayed.
These guys were so diverse and multi-talented, it still took some time getting my head around the fact they're the same group that did I'M NOT IN LOVE. Oh boy - I know someone in need of a geography lesson regarding his own state.
Thank God we didn't have the introduction you just gave us, when the song came out, and we could just appreciate it's fun and musical values!
"Art for Art's Sake" by 10cc, my favorite.
I haven’t heard this song in 40 years. An obscure hit. Loved it when it came out. Thanks for digging this one out. Next 10cc song: Art for Art’s Sake.
You should do Une Nuit a Paris. Rivals Bohemian Rhapsody IMHO. One of my favorites.
Forty-two, quarante deux, rue de Saint Jacques, all our girls are 'ow you say, "Good in the sack" . . . Genius.
You’ve just opened a Pandora’s box of shimmering gems , different styles , genres and unique melodies and arrangements that is 10cc.
Enjoy … Life is a minestrone
👍🏴
Glad you guys finally hit this one, I've been hoping you'd get to it eventually. Always loved this song.
Jimmy Cliff - "The Harder They Come" soundtrack was seminal in exposing Americans to early reggaein the 70's.
The video for this is fabulous!
Great song live in concert there playing music like rock gods godly cream great music videos though the years
Another good reggae song is "Israelites" by Desmond Dekker.
I gotta say, much of the music of late 60s- thru 70s was just brilliant. The orchestration, dynamics, emotion.
The great harmonies, the little fills here and there, the guitar chops on the "and", the zylophone, the punchy bass! The timbales, even the egg shakers!
I saw them in concert in London and it was one of the most diverse and talented concerts I'd ever been to!
I also saw them perform at Royal Albert Hall in 2012 while we were on holiday from Australia. They were so good and as you say, diverse and talented. I have some videos of them from that concert and watch them occasionally to remind me of how much fun we had.
@05:29 LMFAO. Andy's reaction to Alex's bizarre metaphor is priceless!
Sitting in Limbo by Jimmy Cliff, featured on the 1972 reggae soundtrack for his movie 'The Harder They Come'.
10cc were massive in the Uk, Kevin Godley & Lol Creme were in the group & went on to make some of the most innovative videos of the late 80’s & 90’s. All 10cc albums are fantastic, my personal stand out is The Original Soundtrack which doesn’t really have a bad track on it, well worth a listen.
“Good Morning Judge” and "Rubber bullets" pleaseee
I had forgotten about this song. It is so very cool, thanks for bringing it back for me
I'm pretty sure A&A have not reacted to "Haitian Divorce" by Steely Dan (unless I am just forgetting it from a Livestream). Regardless of the reggae beat, the lyrics to that one would make for a fun review!
Oh lordy yes, I second that, it's one of the best SD songs!
10cc were such a really clever band. They had a lot of commercial success but dig deeper on most of their albums and you will find a real wealth of excellent songs.
You should try 'Une unit a Paris/Old wild men/ Don't Hang Up
And probably their wierdest song of all Clockwork Creep
I've always loved this song, such a groove and lyrically interesting. You gotta do "The Things We Do For Love" by 10CC!
Was really into 10cc while in high school. They were key to my musical taste development. By the time of Bloody Tourists, however, they were past their prime……saw them in concert in 1978 in Santa Monica. It was a good show. They rocked really hard…..10cc was neither underrated as many folks will tell you. Nor were overrated.. They are rated just right.
Their album "How Dare You?" is one of my favorite albums of all time. (Future album reaction maybe?)
wow! I had forgotten about this song. thanks guys!
If you want to hear them doing a real rocker, try Blackmail from the Original Soundtrack album. Great bottleneck and tells a great story. Their playing and production was always really good. They built and used their own studio.
10cc are a very talented band who straddled rock and pop very deftly. Their albums are so well put together. You should listen ‘Feel the Benefit’ it’s a Master class in change of beat!
If someone had only heard 2 Beatles songs, and then asked for recommendations for the next one to listen to, you'd get 50 different answers and they all would be good choices. Same with 10cc. They had numerous hits, but their other songs were just as good or better depending on your tastes.
So many different suggestions have been made in the comments, and they are all great songs. I personally recommend the epic, "Feel the Benefit" which takes you on a journey that showcases their wide range of musical talents.
How about some more real Roots Reggae( aside from just Bob Marley) !!
Peter Tosh- Legalize It!!
Well you have to hear some Godley & Creme too. Cry was the BIG one but I'd recommend 10,000 Angels. Serious harmonica goodness.
Man serious flashback!! 10cc was one of my favs back in high school. Now I'm going to do 10cc fur couple hrs. Good morning judge.😊
They've a deep catalog. "Second Sitting for the Last Supper" and "Blackmail". Vivid story telling on "Somewhere in Hollywood"
Another song from my past that I had forgotten about. Thank you, I love this song and it’s about to go into heavy rotation in my car. You guys are awesome.
"Good Morning, Judge", "Art for Art's Sake", "Do the Wall St Shuffle", and plenty more great 10cc songs.
Hi guys - great that you loved this song!
Funny story about the name of the album it is on - "Bloody Tourists".
The story is that 10cc were holidaying in Jamaica at the same time as one of the Beatles (Paul McCartney, I think).
Anyway - they happened to pass each other while in cars and McCartney ( recognising them ) yelled out to them (mockingly) "bloody tourists!" That's where the album name comes from.
Always a touch of humor in their songs.
Way cool track that I'd never heard before. I really like the fact that they didn't adopt a fake Jamaican patois for the vocals.
