Yeah but this song was 29 years old even when you wrote this comment. The Beautiful South were quite well rated in their heyday. It would be expected 29 years later for them not to be on everyone's radar
Sing this to my missus as a joke ...she got me back one time by changing the word to ....3 to 6 inch .so what is that all that you got ....was quick thinking for her ...had to grin
Just come over here and sit right down, neednt comb ya hair, neednt pout or frown....ya still handy! Lol I hope ya missus dosent want more! Great song!
I've always loved Beautiful South - I feel blessed that I managed to see them play live many times - 36D is a masterpiece in music and lyrics - from that dreamy intro it's such a song of beauty - hope they come back to do what they do best - playing live...
I’d had the chorus stuck in my head for my entire life. My dad played this today and when it got to the chorus I immediately sat up and yelled “I know this” and started singing along
So despite the chorus mentioning the name of the song several times, it took your 'entire life' to figure out the title? You're not the brightest, are you mate?
In my personal opion this is one of there best song they have ever recorded, the lyrics have such a poiniont message, and Dave's voice is perfect for this song.
It is tragic when this generation of teenagers, which happens to be my generation, doesn't know good music. The Beautiful South are one of the greatest bands ever, in my opinion, and kids haven't even heard of them. It's sad.
Lmao saying Paul Heaton ruined The Beautiful South is like saying Morrissey ruined The Smiths, Robert Plant ruined Led Zeppelin or Freddie Mercury ruined Queen
@@NorthernFella I still go weak at the knees at Dave H (as he was then - he's 60 now and unfortunately looks very different). What a piece of hot stuff he was.
I read that this song is the reason why Briana Corrigan left the band, because she felt the song targeted the glamour models instead of targeting the media as sexist. Doesn't really change the fact that this song is amazing.
i know the comment from mr colt or whatever he is called was made some time ago but im only just reading it, my jaw has hit the floor!! seriously this guy has to be taking the piss to get a reaction. I also happen to think paul has one of the most distinctive voices ive heard and i just think a lot of people dont actually get this song and what it represents
+Jo Fletcher I think it's multiple meaning mate, from one perspective it's a prostitute who is trying to tell the gentlemen she services that she's more than a chest, yet the opposing argument is of men who look to find her business want a little more than a bird with big tits. Or it could be the relationship between fuck buddies who just can't live with each other but cannot exist without each other too. Or it could be a local 'bike' looking to escape her destiny as a another single mum statistic by wishing for more in life. Or it could be the plight of men who have to act a certain way because society expects them to be menly men and just man up and shag her, when all the time wanting to treat her with a bit more compassion, yet all he gets in return is a mouth of abusive shouting. It's subjective I'm sure.
this is a song that despises both the lad culture and the women who play to that culture. brianna corrigan did not read this as a feminist song. i suppose i am saying that the beautiful south are not feminists so much as utter cynics, and that feminists follow cynics at their own peril. i am, of course, also a cynic, and not a feminist.
He said he attacked the models instead of the people that exploit them. He never would've written it the same way now. The lady in his band refused to sing or perform in the video.
weird how people have different opinions ,in my mind growing up he was the main singer and Paul underplayed himself ,daves voice is excellent but it is a little generic Paul has that quirky thing going on which is amazing too in a different way
Gary McCaffrey if anyone ever doubts Paul Heaton’s vocal ability, just play I’ll Sail this Ship Alone or Prettiest Eyes. Both are Dave-less and utterly, utterly wonderful.
paul heaton wrote this song so how did he spoil it? he has always been the beautiful south without him there would be no beautiful south, paul heaton and dave rotheray are the housemartins and beautiful south, them two have wrote more songs than any other singer/song writer duos in history including lennon/mcartney
I boarded a plane yesterday and my seat number was 36D and I immediately had a flashback in time to this song.
too funny 😂
The pilot was listening to Ol' red eyes is back
hahaha every time i see a big coin i get flashbacks
Most underrated band ever, never seem to get mentioned anywhere. Saw them live 3 times, they put on a great concert.
Exactly ! I thought I was quite good with music bands and only discovered them thanks to my friend at the age of 30 :(
Apparently the reason the song didn’t do well, was the heavily sexualized content….and also one of the reasons Brianna left the band.
Yeah but this song was 29 years old even when you wrote this comment. The Beautiful South were quite well rated in their heyday. It would be expected 29 years later for them not to be on everyone's radar
This song is criminally underrated

Terry Casey so u got a 3-6 inches chin up la

never get bored of the beautiful south
Me neither they are my favorite band of ALL time 👍

Best song they ever did and Daves best vocal ...a match made in heaven
Would you be interested in doing a short interview representing BS fans for my MA?
0898 is one of the best pop albums ever hugely underappreciated
David Godfrey definitely
0898 is absolutely the best album ever made 👍
I think definitely one of the best songs by this group.
Class band, saw them live in Brighton.... unreal! 30 years and still top quality 👌🏻

@@nickslick75 icl mate when I was 7 or 8 I didn’t exactly know why a song would be called 36D did I, I thought I just had the lyrics wrong
Clever guys, clever songs. Just great clever music.
How is it clever?
All their songs are pure irony... 36d so what :p
@@davidtalbot2061 ironic
Tip ruddy Top tune! Beautiful South score again. Wish they would play reunion concert down here in Oz.
First Housemartins and Beautiful South later on... never getting bored again!!! Thanks for sharing these magnificent tunes!
Total Genius = Mr Heaton and Co ! love it !
Brilliant wit of Paul Heaton at its best , all the best songs have a story and message.
In my personal opion this is one of there best song they have ever recorded, the lyrics have such a poiniont message, and Dave's voice is perfect for this song.
Dave is exceptional 😀👏🎤🎶
I don't understand how they were not heard in Canada until the late 90s
It is tragic when this generation of teenagers, which happens to be my generation, doesn't know good music. The Beautiful South are one of the greatest bands ever, in my opinion, and kids haven't even heard of them. It's sad.
+Talia Sykes OH FUCK OFF
Going out on a limb here to say Talia's right and it's you, Riverbank, who should fuck off.
Thanks man!
agree with you........
well said
It’s a beautifully crafted song, regardless of how you feel about the story it tells.
i just love this song. i can't help it, i don't care what other people say.
An amazing band.Saw them in 95 at Alfred McAlpine stadium supporting REM.What a day that was!
Was that the one where her voice broke trying to hit some of the high notes?
+Mickolaus Mickelby could've been!ha ha but what an afternoon..terror vision. .echo belly . .and REM..
Wow what a great line up to see.
@@ellzedd4113 Epic 👍
Great day, great line up, terror vision were brilliant 👍👍👍
Beautiful south and lightning seeds are the two top tier bands in my opinion
Lmao saying Paul Heaton ruined The Beautiful South is like saying Morrissey ruined The Smiths, Robert Plant ruined Led Zeppelin or Freddie Mercury ruined Queen
only 275,000 views what the fuck! This is an amazing song! Oh to add I had a massive crush on Dave H
Dave Rotheray is quite a hottie here! :)

Just one song? She could of just refused to sing it. I can understand if she didn't agree to the direction he was taking with a few, but one? :/
KiyokaMakibi this was the breaking point. She was getting angry at the band’s constant rude songs like mini-correct, and so she left
@@cameronlambert5185 A great loss. I wish things had been different.
True. They didn't ever play it live again.
@@cameronlambert5185 But Mini Correct was on their next album, she was already gone.
I remember they sang this for the first time at one of their concerts I was at. I was so naive, I had no clue what they were singing about.
The song sounds so pleasant 😂 he said if it were now he would've never written it attacking the models but instead those that exploit them.
A classic from beautiful South 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉
Quality tune this, massively underrated....
BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!
I always thought it was "36 Days" and couldn't figure out what that meant... now its all clear.
Have always liked this song from back in the day. I had never seen the video until now. Wow! Just wow! Great work. Thanks!
This song is the reason Briana Corrigan left The Beautiful South.
Thanks for posting. Gorgeous.
still a great tune....love it..
one of my favourite songs .....
Thank you, I love this group
such a beautiful song by beautiful south

AMAZING and so underated
Thanks for posting this. I was a huge fan when their first three albums came out. Seeing this video has me going back to their discography.
The perfect pop song and the best lyrics
Bloody brilliant!
That final image, is an accurate summing up of my life...
Take me back to the 1990s please...enlightened me like Heaton and Stipe dominated music - and you could still buy a flat in North London for £80,000.
you couldn't pay me to live in London for 80kquid
I like 36Ds!..... I want more.
Love this. From a chick who thought men could not be feminists. She stands corrected. Love you, Colby-babe.
this is a song that despises both the lad culture and the women who play to that culture.
brianna corrigan did not read this as a feminist song.
i suppose i am saying that the beautiful south are not feminists so much as utter cynics, and that feminists follow cynics at their own peril.
i am, of course, also a cynic, and not a feminist.

truly a great song
From a purely musical stand point, Dave has a much better and purer singing voice than Paul. I would love for him to have sung more.
Little blue is my favourite song by the BS
weird how people have different opinions ,in my mind growing up he was the main singer and Paul underplayed himself ,daves voice is excellent but it is a little generic Paul has that quirky thing going on which is amazing too in a different way
Dave continued to be the lead singer of The South for a while
Although, he has stepped down from that now.
first heard this while travelling in England, thanks Stu for introducing this band to me, great chill out mousic
Just amazing
Great song, sadly even more applicable than ever these days.
He said he wouldn't of written the song like this. He would've attacked the people that exploit models and women.
Dave looks like Marc Bolan in that wig and make up.
Or my big sister lol
Good legs in fairness..just saying :)
+Greg Leather O.O
Bolan during his "Fat Lennon" period
Dave sings well in this song, but it's Pauls unique voice that attracted me to this band.
Gary McCaffrey if anyone ever doubts Paul Heaton’s vocal ability, just play I’ll Sail this Ship Alone or Prettiest Eyes. Both are Dave-less and utterly, utterly wonderful.
@@mozz71 Just remember that Dave scored their only number one.
An invaluable song, underrated band
sonniakamillo completely under rated!
A band that should have bestrode the Earth.
From the album Carry on up the Charts, probably some of the best lyrics bolted onto some of the best tunes ever written...
Neil Turnbull This is from 0898 album. Carry on... is a singles compilation. If u don't know 0898, check it out, probably their best album.
@@johnwelsh6209 choke was also another great album. But i loved them all.
2021 and still here.great band and top song
Yeah. I remember Brianna walking of stage at Wolverhampton Civic because of some numptys mouthing off in the crowd
He's got better legs than me!!
Fookin brill.
That guitar sounds very much like Def Leppard's Hysteria.
Must be a Sheffield thing !
Same thing with Blonde’s Coming Of Age
Their best - what a verse!!!
I miss them.
Better than the rubbish of today 😂😂😂😂
Would love Paul Heaton to get back with dave their music is the dogs bollocks I have saw them 5 times live
Long live The Beautiful South
Mismo riff que Hysteria de Def Leppard
this is my most played song on my I-pod
***** you do know that PH was both bands creator / front men / writer... how he could have destroyed his own creation, i'm not sure..
Alfred Mcalpine stadium...band before REM Monster Tour 1995...❤
Put lyrics on screen please great song
Think that you are suppossed to feel uneasy. Kind of a theme in BS music is the beauty and the sadness/cynicism/evil linked in.
Magic. Best Beautiful South Record by far.
boss band. top lyrics. rip the houseys an the south
I heard Paul say he regrets this song most. He wasn't fat shaming. Norman was doing well on his own by now.
⭐️🎶❤️
Such a potent and astute examination of misogyny and how society uses women sexually.
love this lyrics a peach
3:22 is that Jay's dad from the inbetweeners?
A song about me lol
paul heaton wrote this song so how did he spoil it? he has always been the beautiful south without him there would be no beautiful south, paul heaton and dave rotheray are the housemartins and beautiful south, them two have wrote more songs than any other singer/song writer duos in history including lennon/mcartney
In the 90s part of UA-cam again!
36D would be flat-chested in today's world of breast implanted models ! 🙂
@clarryhead Paul Heaton is still touring, seeing him in Newcastle in May!
It is a pity that Brianna left because of this
❤️🏴💙🏴
reminds me of my wife! ha
best start drinking again, lol.
Who is here 2022 … 😍😍😍
❤️
Wonder why they cut off the end of the song?
Poor Dave!
It's about glamour models/page 3 girls. This song is one of the reasons they had to find a new female singer.
D so what d so what!!!!!!!!!!
Yes.
@uncledooley they always sang this fab track in there concert
@ThroughRock Might want to listen to the rest of the words...
to have two amazing voices like dave and paul in the same band, what a waste.
i cover this group. x
