Give this comment a thumbs up if you liked MORRISSEY’S version more!
Give this comment a thumbs up is you liked THE JAM’S version more!
Paul Weller wrote these lines when he was 22. Amazing
"Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude"
A police car and a screaming siren
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking
That's entertainment, that's entertainment
A smash of glass and the rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls
I tell ya that's entertainment, that's entertainment
Days of speed and slow time Monday's
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls
I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment
Waking up at six AM on a cool warm morning
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays
That's entertainment, that's entertainment
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away
That's entertainment, that's entertainment
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs
I tell ya that's entertainment, that's entertainment
He is a great great artist for sure. Thanks for sharing and watching!
Well done, please do more Morrissey and Smiths. You would not have heard Morrissey's version unless you owned the Single "Sing Your Life" I saw that you read that out but remember this was before the days of UA-cam. There is a fantastic B Side "Jack The Ripper" from the single "Certain People I Know" it's on the live album Beethoven Was Deaf but the studio version is much more haunting. I recommend it. Please do more Morrissey and Smiths reactions!
We do have some Smiths up. Thanks!
Morrissey's version of Moon River is quite something too.... Love The Jam, and Weller's next band the Style Council
Top 10 of Weller coming next month. Thanks!
I would strongly think Paul Weller would not call himself Middle class - he came from a Working Class background.
Maybe a difference in American speak as middle class here is still considered working class.
Reactions To The Classics no problem, totally different things in the UK - and Australia, where I’m from
Actually liked both versions but Morrissey edited the track down an made it perfect. Obviously the intro and exit sound effects were English Rattling Train traxs if you didn't already realise.
Thanks!
The Jam in my top 10 favorite bands. All Mod Cons and Setting Sons fav albums. Looking forward to your top 10 review. That was a great cover by Morrisey.
Thanks Kevin!!
Great reaction guys! Glad to hear a Jam/Style Council/Weller top 10 was requested as well. I think the intro and outro for Morrissey's version is a train, an effect also used by Love and Rockets in your Kundalini Express reaction.
We knew you would be able to shed light on what that was. We enjoyed this one and as always really appreciate you!
I actually love both but I'll give the chocolates to the original, as that's the one tied into my memories.....
Blessed to say I've seen The Jam live a couple of times and also saw The Smiths live. Both brilliant bands. This track is a snapshot of our UK life as teens back in late 70s early 80s
That had to be great! Thanks Yvonne!
Likewise. Lucky to have seen both bands back in the 80’s
Stumbled across this last night and spent this evening watching your reaction to The Stone Roses debut which was great. Would be interested to see your reaction to The Jam's Sound Affects LP from which this song comes from and for me is similar in places to The Stone Roses debut in its 60s influence 'feel'. Note the stone roses took part of their name from a Jam song. Glad I came across your channel and am now subscribed! Off to watch your Ride reaction next - a local band to me and one of my favs..
Mikey in all irony we are actually doing an album reaction to Sound Affects next month! Putting a Weller/Jam top 10 up in a couple of weeks. Stones Roses so so good as you already knew haha. Thanks!!
@@ReactionsToTheClassics Great stuff - I look forward to watching them!
You've got good taste in music!
And what the presenters recommended in regards to the Morrissey version as a Printer, was obviously a repeat over lay Train on steel Track. And added so much to the Fade in, Fade out melody. Simply beautiful. But there's a live Morrissey version on LIVE IN DALLAS DVD. U have to see.
Thanks for Watching!
There’s a version with weller and Noel Gallagher out on you tube as well lads that a good one too 👍👍
Will go check that out for sure! Thanks for the heads up Trevor!
... and pleasingly easy to play on guitar. Wrote it in a jiffy after getting back from the pub one night, apparently.
haha true genius!
Loved the video. Any chance of a reaction to ‘Strangeways here we come’ at any point?
Trey is getting to it at some point. Hopefully before the end of the year. Thanks!
Boy, I would love that!
Tim Burgess is doing a Twitter Listening Party for Strangeways this weekend I think maybe tonight.
Pretty cool those listening parties
Moz sang this on his first solo tour and it was very different to the recorded version...much faster and punkier.
Thanks for watching dirkbogarde44!
Well done guys. Great post.
You both are on the button regarding The Jam.
Gerard(Belfast)
Thanks! Appreciate it!
@@ReactionsToTheClassics I’ve watched most, if not all, of your Jam(and Weller) ‘Reactions’...and as a self-confessed Jam nut 😀 I have to admit that you guys have hit the nail on the head regarding The Jam (and Weller).
I know it’s been a gradual build up thing for you guys getting to know what The Jam were all about....and so refreshing to hear Americans(if you don’t mind me using such a turn of phrase) not only air their views on The Jam...but really ‘get’ them....as you well know that The Jam were pretty well ‘lost’ on most people from the States.
Great posts. Loved watching and listening👌
Gerard(Belfast)
Hey Gerard really appreciate it! We take it serious and try to do each artist justice and man wish I would have known about them back in the day!
@@ReactionsToTheClassics Well...you do exactly that. Brilliant viewing and great commentary 👌
Is this Sean or Trey? Great stuff guys.
Emerging from the covid world tentatively is our Jam tribute band...’Jam Pact’ Belfast....our first gigs coming up in a couple of weeks since March of last year. Can’t wait.
Anyway...keep up the good work guys!
Gerard (Belfast)
I never heard this song. This is an interesting song battle. Two different versions. The first version is more upbeat and rhythmic in tempo. The second version is more of a ballad with some strong vocals. Your comments on both songs are accurate and it is a close call, but I think I will agree with you guys that the edge goes to the first version. The song battle videos are cool. I think a good one would be the song ' On A Clear Day ', Sinatra's version and Tony Bennett's version. It's a good song from the '60's. btw, I miss watching your live stream videos. Hope you all had a great time on Friday's video.
That is a great suggestion on the battle! Stream went great, once again so sorry you can't see them Poet!
@@ReactionsToTheClassics I'm glad you had a great time on the live stream.You made the necessary changes to benefit your channel. My timing is off because I get on the computer later than I should. But that's okay. btw, Shawn and Trey, Did you post my song request? I'm looking for it but haven't seen it yet on Patreon. Thanks.
I look forward to your weller “top10”,,, you have 43 years of quality music to get through so 10 songs is just a drop in the ocean but a drop from Weller is better than a waterfall from most artists,,,a true giant !
It will be up in the next couple of weeks! Thanks!
I preferred Paul's as it was again from when I was the original. Morrissey is so unique and will not be anything but himself - defiantly! I do like his latest solo stuff too.
Thanks littlejohn!
First time hearing the Moz version, I liked the musical arrangement but didnt like the way he rearranged the lyrics, took something away from the original. In The Jam version I think Bruce Foxton's bass doesnt get enough credit. Looking forward to the Top 10 Paul Weller songs, does it cover his whole career or just his solo work? Way too many to choose from to narrow it down to ten. I would struggle to make up a Top 10 Jam. Top 10 Style Council and Top 10 solo list.
The Top 10 has a little from all 3. Thanks Neil!
Check out Down In The Tube Station At Midnight, paints a picture albeit an uninviting one.
Thanks Brxee!
Absolutely love Morrissey but also a big Jam fan so although Morrissey's version is excellent, I already liked the Jam's version before he did it.
Thanks for watching!
I like Morrissey and the smiths but i LOVE the Jam. My favourite band growing up in the seventies.
Paul Weller wrote all their songs. Genius if you ask me. Going underground, town called malice, down in the tubestation at midnight and absolute beginners to name but a few. All great songs. Check them out !!!
We are actually putting up a Jam Full album reaction to Sound Affects tomorrow Thanks!
English rose is a great jam song you should react too !
Really appreciate the suggestion and thanks for watching Monavale!
The jam no bloody contest.
Thanks for watching mod 789!
Weller’s social commentary and lyrical picture painting during is second to none, according to Bob Dylan. Give “down in the tube station” a try, such vivid imagery.
We are doing a Weller Top 10 and that "may" be on there haha. Thanks Richard!
On the same Jam's album, the song just before That's Entertainement, Start! is a must listen for Beatles' Fan. So weird, it's Taxman and not at the same time.
Well you have us intrigued we will check that out. Thanks Julien!
The original is the one for me. It just reminds of when I was 14 and the lyrics and music mean a lot .I think its Wellers finest song.
It is great for sure. Thanks Mod!
Battle suggestion - I Am The Walrus. The Beatles Vs Oasis
Great suggestion Thanks Mark!
THE JAM EASY
Thanks for watching Bazooka Joe!
If anyone wants to know what 1970's England was like ... Just listen to the Jam...
Have 3 of their albums up. They were fantastic for sure! Thanks Jay!
What's up guys!🤘 Just relaxin with a Guinness watchin your vids. How about a reaction to Fall Down by Toad The Wet Sprocket
Toad! Great suggestion. Enjoy that Guinness and thanks for watching Louie!
Great tune seen the jam do this many times live Morrissey did a good job but the jam version is the top tune man 👍👍👍good vid again lads well done 👍👍
Thanks Trevor appreciate it!
seen as weller wrote it ,and it still stand`s up with it`s lyric`s ,it`s weller all the way as for morrissey hmm keep to the smiths stuff
haha Thanks Darrin!
My brother worked in the greyhound pub in Croydon London when the Jam played there and Paul Weller called my brother a f’n’c so my brother punched him and knocked him out
That is a great story!!! Thanks for sharing Robert!
@@ReactionsToTheClassics my brother now lives in Australia now but I will ask him if he had any other stories when he worked there because bands like Motörhead ,Thin lizzy ,Judas priest ,Ramona and ac/dc play there
That would be awesome Robert!
Well, the words are far clearer with Morrissey but no tension.
Thanks
both good versions but long time Paul Weller fan he gets the nod along with the Jam.
Thanks Kev! hope you are doing well!
@@ReactionsToTheClassics doing okay took a week off the road got one new song up on the UA-cam channel hope to do another if not more...maybe a heart song and put it up there.
other than that not whole lot going on.. move the wheels make money
We will check that out for sure! Ya I know moving the wheels is what pays the bills but also good you could rest and recharge.
I am sorry but I love The Smiths, Morrissey, and I love The Jam but there can be no argument that the best version of this song is by The Jam. There is no competition between these versions at all. Me and my friends have often talked about who is the best Weller or Morrissey and whilst we sometimes struggle, Weller is stronger overall. Love Moz but come on Weller is just top dog. He has his faults though but let's not go there!
ok
Please sirs react to Magnetic Fileds - The Book Of Love
Really appreciate the suggestion and thanks for watching Lust for Awesomeness!
In particular, the Magnetic Fields vs Peter Gabriel (vs Peter Gabriel - he has two versions of the song).
Yeah, I do love this song. The two versions are very close, quality wise, and I actually heard the Morrissey version first. Still, the original does take it and it gets bonus points for Paul Weller seeming like a much better dude than Morrissey (though Morrissey is the better singer and possibly lyricist). Plus, the original has a pissiness about it that I appreciate.
haha love this comment! Thanks Ilan!!
Weller is a far better singer
I'm going to say something: YOU DO NOT F'CK WITH A CLASSIC. Dont remake the Godfather or Casablanca. When something is perfect, leave it alone!
Thanks for Watching!
It's like this guy's! Weller is working class not English Middle Class as you so incorrectly state. As for Mozza killing this ever so well written Weller song, tells you who the real artistic lyricist is!!
Wow Mike you are a bright one huh? Take that intelligence and be on your way big guy
