I heard this song for the first time yesterday. I thought it was a new indie song. I searched it up on spotify and i couldn't believe it was 42 years old!!!! It is so far ahead for its time! Then on youtube i saw that this video was posted 4 days ago? Crazy!
And I myself was there the day this song came on record.... So a genius song long before you heard it the first time and before CD's existed. So you see, life.... was pretty genius, before you were born genius ;-)
That’s crazy this happened to me today, it was on my discover weekly and I came to UA-cam to see the video and discovered that it was over 40 years old. Could have sworn it was a new song
This simply because everything about music was done til 92, after there is just some random meteor band or valuable isolated cases. The remaining musicians from today just copy and mix. Nothing really new coming up

Well, there's a reason they never made it big; this is their best song, and as good as it is, that's pretty much it - Senses Working Overtime is a cringe song (as in any song that has counting as part of the lyrics!). While I love this song as a piece of music, I detest the lyrics and the general sentiment. What's wrong with wanting the best for one's kids and preparing them for a steady, stable and prosperous life? Nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if Andy Partridge is/was a Trotsyist.

XTC were one of the most under-rated bands of all time, their unique sense of "Englishness" and rural themes, epitomised in their 1983 album "Mummer" is one of the greatest albums of all time to me, superb musicians too, if you haven't heard them before go back and have a listen, you won't be disappointed!!!
I have the double CD of XTC called " FOSSIL FUEL ", some fantastic stuff on it.

His songs are superb & bursting with life.
It absolutely does not sound fresh. It sounds exactly like a popular song from the late 70's early 80's but that doesn't take away from what an amazing track it is
I'm just blown away by how contemporary this song sounds over 40 years after it was recorded, Steve Lilywhite produced the f*&k out of this song, amazing.
@@thankyoudriver4219 Really, someone else told me donkeys years ago that Dr. Nigel Gray ( who did first 3 Police and Banshee albums) had a hand in it too. One day when I have time, I,ll treble check to be sure. Though Nigel Gray is dead now.
My first concert, probably Bayonne 1980 had the Police headlining and XTC part of the opening card. So the Nigel Gray link has legs. Also Skafish and the Beat were there if I'm not dreaming. (The Beat had a hard time in France, their name was tricky to get your mouth round in the local language)@@richardmurphy4520
The part with British Steel reminds me of my youth in the Ruhr area,, when my parents tried to convince me to work at Thyssen-Krupp steel or at the Opel plant. I'm glad I didn't.
As a 'nigel' I grew up hating this song , forty years later I can sit back and laugh at feeling like that and appreciate how good this song is , strange how time mellows you 👍
Heard this last week on Sky's Now 70's. Was so excited to hear it after all these years and surprised l knew all the words. 😁 Gonna send to my friend. ❤
There's a minor 9th guitar chord amidst the riff, somewhere around the 7th fret. Bloody hard to play correctly, I know coz I've tried n failed many times. Andy Partridge is a genius.
Amazing song, still playing it today. The 1970s were phenominally rich in fantastic music but '77, '78 & '79 were particularly fecund witj punk, post punk and new wave.
I was born in 1986, this was obviously before I was born but this is a great tune and even way ahead if it's time. This is a tune. People say I was born in the wrong decade as all my favourite music is from 78 to 84! I do think music was at its absolute best between those years x
Late June 1979 my classmates organized a post 'O' levels disco party where this song was played, I felt things with such intensity at that age, now I am a stranger in a strange land, the past being another country entirely
So great to read all the positive comments about this song and the band. They were just brilliant. And this is a fabulous song, i’ve loved it since the day it was released.
Seriously, XTC were too much. Absolute banger after absolute banger in the early 80s, every single single an absolute stone cold classic. What the hell were they on?
XTC...a band that despite some great pop songs is unfortunately (and unjustly) more or less forgotten these days. This song still sounds fresh and modern and with a great video. This song is somehow also longer than I remembered!
I love all these great little details - sounds, riffs, vocals, patterns, drums...So many things in only a few minutes in this iconic catchy new wave song.
I 💖 XTC, they were a combination of MOD, New Wave and Rock and like everyone says v.underated by the music industry and media of that time. Maybe because they were difficult to define, it may have been the reason for not being taken so seriously? I remember this single was released in the Autumn/Fall of 79 and I'd just turned 14. The late 70s/early 80s was the best era for rock/new wave. 🎵👍
@@6wm i suppose the saddening thing is how people are being taken care of instead of being given the opportunity to learn how to take care for themselves i.e. learn about ones own needs & responsibilities. It gives me the creeps. And i think its about a particular age, somewhere 10 to 16?, where the young ones arrive at a pivot age, skilled or not to deal with their passion & goals, self-discipline & freedom but at a point to decide about the directions their lives shall take (education, also friends, ..) - or, else, others do that for them, or (worst?) no-one does. Even Brexit comes to mind.. But perhaps i got it all wrong.
@@gioponti6359I understand. It may appear for the most part that people are being taken care of, but those in power do not really care. All smoke and mirrors.

Blimy that's weired I only thought of this song again after all these yrs just now and searched for it.. 😁 Listened to the yrs ago, have it on vinyl still..
The first 'hit song' with gated reverb drums. With a second set of mics positioned high in each corner of the stone built Studio .( usually attributed as an accident to Phil Collins on his solo LP and drums on Peter Gabriel 'melt' LP).Recorded april 79 at the newly built townhouse studio with Steve Lillywhite & Hugh Padgham' released 6th Sept79 as a single. Xtc never really got the kudos they deserved for their output.
Partridge was more prolific by tenfold but Moulding wrote some true XTC classics, ran out of steam after Nonsuch though and completely lost interest after 2001 or so.
Now(and always)thats top notch drums and bassline intro in a song that cannot be matched or compared. Rolls on throughout the song. Great music Great song. ♥♥♥♥♥♥

STILL SOUNDS AMAZING TODAY JUST AS IT DID BACK IN '79.
The video held up nicely too. It's from 79, but really looks more mid-80's, with those video effects. I'm impressed.
I agree

Been humming this Song today whilst in the garden 44 years later some tunes never leave you Thanks XTC
What a fantastic historical song, a big leap in drum production too. Timeless
One of the top 10 British bands ever and it isn't even up for debate ! So criminally underrated in many ways though lots of critics do love them.
I was singing this the other day. Simply brilliant
The part with British Steel reminds me of my youth in the Ruhr area,, when my parents tried to convince me to work at Thyssen-Krupp steel or at the Opel plant. I'm glad I didn't.
I love the instruments, the voice and the lyrics. So futuristic.
Yea, if it hadnt been heard before and released now, we would all be claiming a musical break through! lol

The lyrics are not futuristic at all. Its a political anti Thatcher song

It looks like their using flat screen TVs on the walls. Unbelievably futuristic for 1979. XTC what a great band!
Stylistically it looks like it's from the 90s, especially with all the computer graphics, and even the album cover design.

Andy Partridge is a genius but Colin Moulding just hit it out of the park with that one.
Partridge was more prolific by tenfold but Moulding wrote some true XTC classics, ran out of steam after Nonsuch though and completely lost interest after 2001 or so.
