Just look at the way he gazes back, smiles, then comes back to the microphone. It's one of the most loving things in the world. So Beautiful! I love Terry Hall!
Exactly my thoughts and u can see on stage how many people it took to make that sound, a million miles away from the specials my first love but just as good, would love to know where that was recorded
RIP Mr Hall this performance blew me away as an impressionable teen, a song that gets more powerful every time you hear it. Had no idea you co-wrote it till today…..
This tune is so true to any generation! great lyrics! Sadly a lot of todays kids want to listen to stuff about people’s private parts with no imagination:) whoops! Did I dig at Cardi B :) I miss the days when there was more decent bands who could perform live and do it great!
@@Gibson1976uk Stay in your lane, old man. Were I more cynical I'd point out your rank racism at celebrating a white woman singing about sex and relationships while railing on a Latina for singing about "people's private parts with no imagination". Lemme guess you're not really racist because Rita Moreno was great as that Puerto Rican spitfire in West Side Story, right? Sometimes you really get on my nerves… as that probably went over your head that song was pretty much the peak of Jane's lyrical profundity.
Hell to the muthah fuggin yeah son! Love youtube for this. And information. ANY subject is covered completely I think. I feel like I walked away with a free $45,000K education on oil painting wathing retired people just blabbing away with full instructions down to the T. Amazing times we live in.
There’s another song round about the same time by Spandau Ballet called true. There is a line in that that I swear is ‘Take your seaside arms and write the next line’
Hoping wishes for the next or afterlife to do that i would go to the 80s have endless reruns of my childhood or see how i did it and everything that was happening in the world the greatest decade of all time history
Mary i adore your comment ,,Terry was much too young to pass x im wondering now you will always be Special x lol Jane ,,,,,, RIP,, our lips are sealed with love xx 🕸🕸🕸🕸
Missing your physical presence on this earth already dear Terry . Life is unfair, I don’t understand it . Your music and recordings will be with us for all time and you’re in our hearts. ❤
Mrs H ...RIP Terry ... You give this world The Specials, Fun Boy Three & a lot more... You give us teen's back then an era to remember even though you struggled with Manic Depression...Not an easy thing to achieve when having struggles BUT you did it bring classic tunes. Thank you ...Goodnight God Bless...Your a LEGEND ... Condolences and prayers to the family..❤
R.I.P Terry thanks for all your music that gave us all so many great childhood memories, one of the most underrated British singers a true genius and cultural influence. God Bless.
Jamie Terry was a genius fellow ,,,, All his classics are works of art ,,i grew up listening to wonderful renditions of stories ,,,They helped shape me into a decent happy person ,,,,,RIP ,,,,,LOL jANE X🌹🌹
@@jamiegraham1348 i agree with you ,thats why i adore the 60s , 70s,and 80s eras , We had so much diverse utter brilliant music to choose from ,Terry and his specials will live in my heart until eternity and thats the truth lol Jane x

Terry Hall is one of the most honest and truthful song writers we've ever been gifted with. He's never pulled his punches with the often controversial subjects of his songs, and most of the lyrics are still as applicable (if not more so) as when he wrote them.
This performane is SO much better than the album version! And SO beautiful compared to the Go-Go's version......I listened to this every day for over a year when I found this ♡
Been a hard couple of days. . Still get butterflies every single time I hear the intro to this beautiful track - instantly reminds me of the start of the All Saints runway show in New York Fashion Week A/W 1998. That drum beat, the bass, the cello….. . Backstage, at the curtain, the entrance to the catwalk, peeking out checking if anyone had turned up lol 😆 . Final check on every outfit, last second changes, crumpling collars, tucking in jumpers, rolling up trouser hems, smudging make up, tousling hair, trying hard not to panic and timing each model out to the beat of the drums and the baseline. . Instantly reminded me of my youth, how much I wanted to be in a band, sounding like this, looking like this - looking like I didn’t know how cool I looked, or cared if anyone gave a shit! . Terry Hall seemed to have this nonchalant look about him that no one else on the planet had. We learned years later why that was. . That bomber jacket with the diagonal exposed sleeve zip was first out! Classic 80s number that! . I’d woken up that morning with a terrible hangover, panicking, realised I needed some accessories for the show, hair gel and hair pins, jumped in a cab, headed up to Harlem. Had a panic attack in the back of the cab, first and last time ever! Ended up on the floor of the cab thinking I was having a fuckin heart attack! Managed to control my breathing, got up off the floor, stopped the cab, jumped out, grabbed a bottle of water - obviously totally dehydrated, for some reason! Found an Afro Caribbean hairdressing shop that had the hair gel and some kilt pins. Running around, realised I didn’t have a belt on, had forgotten to pack one, trousers were falling down! Headed back downtown, panicking about being late for the show, for some reason stopped off at Gucci and bought an elasticated belt. Must’ve been near Bryant Park or something as I definitely couldn’t afford it but knew I’d run out of time. Tried about 3 other shops, couldn’t find anything, thought at least I could use that on one of the models, last minute worries! Realised I’d been procrastinating, obviously petrified about doing this show - what if it was a complete disaster? . Dressed the models, lined them up, this came on, I was like ….. WOW! . Unbelievable! . Never heard such an incredible opening track on any runway show, everyone used to play disco shit, nobody played indie, ever - it really was something beautiful. . I wish I still had a copy of the video - played it for years after that, on a little TV that had a video cassette slot underneath the screen! “Can you hear them? They talk about us Telling lies Well, that's no surprise Can you see them? See right through them They have no shield No secrets to reveal Doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed There's a weapon That we must use In our defense Silence When you look at them Look right through them That's when they'll disappear That's when we'll be feared” The words seemed very poignant to me at that time. RIP Terry Hall you were a fine human being XXXXXXX
Moby, I'm 66 yo and as far as I'm concerned, the 80`s were by far the best decade for music. Anyways, take care and kind regards to yourself. John ( UK )
Camille : Me to ,it was the best decade.A lot of new ,wonderful music,we were a lot of people that looked "different"(i was/is half goth and half punk)it is a big part of my personality (and i am not talking about the outfit -that is just a small part of it,but now people look more and more the same,almost like they "were made in a factory",if you know what i mean .In the eighties there were also a lot of very good clubs,and it was not a meat market like now-people were going out to have fun,to dance all night long ,together with there friends,and just forget ,for a short while,their problems,or just forget the grey everyday life-but all in all,it was a wonderful time,and i miss it so much-nearly every day .
Terry you are too Special to pass away , you are much too young xx What a Bloke ,, ive adored you since your beginning , thats a very long time .,,,, RIP,,,,,I GREW UP LISTENING TO YOUR GENIUS WORKS OF ART XX Jane x
u cant beat the mod , punk, alternative sounds . We used to all go 2 an alternative night every Friday and we all got on , not nowadays . Its a shame , from an old punk/rocker .
I simply love the deconstruction and reassembly of this song. Although, it is sung by Funboy Three at what can be best described as a funeral pace, it works. Its simply works...simply.
I keep coming back to play this video I dont know what it is but there is something I cannot say but it just comes out as brilliance its addictive viewing There is a sort of innocence that makes it totally brilliant Sorry for use of the same word twice But nowadays the stars seem to be so rehearsed I know it's what they have to do for the masses but I just love to see that vulnerability that seems so perfect And we have lost that now I do miss it
Met Neville while I was working in a record shop in Virginia in the early 90s. He was (like many before and after him, myself included) captivated by my utterly gorgeous work colleague. She ended up agreeing to go for a drink with him and (I think) got me along to keep him from getting too eager. There wasn't really any need for that - he was very funny and "unstarry", and a complete gent.
I saw the lead singer on a train once when it pulled up in Coventry. I was staring at him, he was staring at me and neither of us would look away. A wilful young man then, Lawd knows what he's like now. Very attractive though.
Terry has issues. But many of us do. I love him to bits. If he only knew how powerful an influence on the people he could yet have, he might stop feeling sorry for himself.... Just for awhile.
True that singing harmonies is cool for a drummer, but June makes it easy by playing *exactly* the same in every bar the whole way this track. I remember that so well from when this was first broadcast........
This is certainly a history lesson for me, always thought it was strictly a Go-Go's song. Now I can't decide which version I like better (not that one actually has to prevail). I just know this clip is over way too soon. And it's remarkable the restraint June is showing, no fills, just laying down the same insistent pattern.
"Our Lips Are Sealed" is a song written by The Go-Go's guitarist Jane Wiedlin and The Specials and Fun Boy Three singer Terry Hall. It was first recorded by The Go-Go's as the opening track on their 1981 album Beauty and the Beat (see 1981 in music) and served as their debut American single in June 1981. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lips_Are_Sealed
Heard this on Chris Evans Radio 2 this morning, made my hair stand on end. Guessing last time I heard this it was in the charts, must have played it about ten times now! It's one of them (many) 80's songs that transports you back 30 years to a glorious decade of music, sad that you can't go back but happy to have experienced it...and as for June on drums...she looks cooool AND hot!
Made your hair stand on end? I know what you mean and agree, but I no longer have hair to stand on end. I can sill do the "Office chair boogie" to this, though!
I heard Terry Hall on the radio the other day celebrating 40 years of the specials, 40 years??? Seems like a couple of years ago listening to the specials/ fun boy threein the charts, the years are flying by!!

Couldn’t put it better my friend
Beautifully said. Thank you.
Novara Media and BBC Asian Network. The Specials?
@@mossychops I don`t get it ?
God bless Terry. 😢
The Fun Boy three were crininally under rated. This is a prime example of them at their very best. Stunning performance of a truly great song.
This was an excellent performance, what you say is absolutely true.
Agree....this is a great version and I have watched/listened to it numerous times!
A really tight band. Excellent 👍
This is a cover of the gogos right?
@@StoutProper he wrote it with Jane wielden from Gogo's.
Terry Hall's vocals . . absolutely exquisite
With June Kingston's harmony - perfect.
This is a work of art
not really, Belinda Carlisle and the Go Gos did it better.
My favourite version, it seems to deliver the meaning of the song really well.
@@racketman2u you can not do this song better, that is the point
Remembering the great talent Terry Hall. You were a massive part of my youth. Always loved this song. RIP 🙏
exactly
Just look at the way he gazes back, smiles, then comes back to the microphone. It's one of the most loving things in the world. So Beautiful! I love Terry Hall!
Cause he's got a quality drummer in her singing backup aswell doin both very well
Absolutely fantastic
@@paultreadaway102 - Good drum sound as well.
Grew up listening to specials and Terry Hall. So sad to hear of his passing 😢
Makes me cry...Terry Hall will be missed!!!...Yeah , unreal man!!!
R.IP dearest Terry ❤ and thank you and yours for getting me through the 80’s
Peace and Love to you all ❤
RIP Terry you will be greatly missed, thank you for all the fabulous music over the years
Miss the early 80's. When music was music and bands were bands.
The harmonies in the two voices are just beautiful.
Yes! The way they pare away & then return. So haunting . . .
Exactly my thoughts and u can see on stage how many people it took to make that sound, a million miles away from the specials my first love but just as good, would love to know where that was recorded
RIP Mr Hall this performance blew me away as an impressionable teen, a song that gets more powerful every time you hear it. Had no idea you co-wrote it till today…..
The song is about their (he and other writer Jane Wiedlin's) relationship. Stunning performance. RIP indeed.
Ditto! RIP Terry Hall, an icon to me growing up and one of my first loves! He made a big difference to a generation and will not be forgotten!

@@javamonster497 eh?
agreed
I’ve never heard this version before. This is the first time as it was a suggestion after the GoGos. Sort of feel sorry for that guy singing it.
So true.
My daughter was 4 and used to sing"Alex the seal"....
Your daughter is brilliant...she just re-wrote this song for me, Alex the seal!😁
U.K. family? The English language is wicked awesome with accents and slang.
hahahaha I love this ind of thing...now forevermore it's gonna be Alex the Seal
Is that not the lyric?
There’s another song round about the same time by Spandau Ballet called true. There is a line in that that I swear is ‘Take your seaside arms and write the next line’
RIP Terry - this performance is pure class.
Thank you for all the wonderful raw emotional music over the years .Very much part of my youth .Rest in peace dear Terry xxxx
I also miss that time in my life...the 80’s.....wish I cud go back there & stay
Best. Decade. Ever!
Hoping wishes for the next or afterlife to do that i would go to the 80s have endless reruns of my childhood or see how i did it and everything that was happening in the world the greatest decade of all time history
This was 'the tube' performance in Newcastle - I was actually there! Fuck me I'm old...
jealous ; )
you are not alone
so cool
Older, but you still saw greatness.... ;)
Tony Gray Sometimes older IS better
Terry Hall and June Miles-Kingston's vocals are so good in this. Love Lynval Golding's guitar in this, so catchy and again absolutely perfect.
Such a kool drummer.top
This is the best ever version of the track. Total respect to Terry Hall who made this his own 🙏🏻 RIP

Terry Hall, has to be one of the most influential artists of the 80s ABSOLUTE GENIUS
Been a hard couple of days.
.
Still get butterflies every single time I hear the intro to this beautiful track - instantly reminds me of the start of the All Saints runway show in New York Fashion Week A/W 1998. That drum beat, the bass, the cello…..
.
Backstage, at the curtain, the entrance to the catwalk, peeking out checking if anyone had turned up lol 😆
.
Final check on every outfit, last second changes, crumpling collars, tucking in jumpers, rolling up trouser hems, smudging make up, tousling hair, trying hard not to panic and timing each model out to the beat of the drums and the baseline.
.
Instantly reminded me of my youth, how much I wanted to be in a band, sounding like this, looking like this - looking like I didn’t know how cool I looked, or cared if anyone gave a shit!
.
Terry Hall seemed to have this nonchalant look about him that no one else on the planet had. We learned years later why that was.
.
That bomber jacket with the diagonal exposed sleeve zip was first out! Classic 80s number that!
.
I’d woken up that morning with a terrible hangover, panicking, realised I needed some accessories for the show, hair gel and hair pins, jumped in a cab, headed up to Harlem.
Had a panic attack in the back of the cab, first and last time ever!
Ended up on the floor of the cab thinking I was having a fuckin heart attack!
Managed to control my breathing, got up off the floor, stopped the cab, jumped out, grabbed a bottle of water - obviously totally dehydrated, for some reason!
Found an Afro Caribbean hairdressing shop that had the hair gel and some kilt pins.
Running around, realised I didn’t have a belt on, had forgotten to pack one, trousers were falling down!

“Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
There's a weapon
That we must use
In our defense
Silence
When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared”
The words seemed very poignant to me at that time.
RIP Terry Hall you were a fine human being XXXXXXX

Without a doubt, simply one of the greatest songs of the 80's.

Wicked guitar riff during the verses. Terry Hall is a wicked singer.
Stunning man with a stunning voice
The whole arrangement... Excellent 👍🏻
I simply love the deconstruction and reassembly of this song. Although, it is sung by Funboy Three at what can be best described as a funeral pace, it works. Its simply works...simply.
Underrated.
I'm old now ,but I was once a youth. Fondly remember FB3.
I still listening to this hit in 2023 ! Still great !
R.I.P. Terry ❤️🌹
Damn, this song is so good! I also love how this seems like a genuine combination of good musicians.
They really own this song and add new and brilliant dimensions to it. I also love Terry Hall's version of Summertime.
R.I.P. Till I see you again...
Sublime. One of those especially rare performances that sound and feel exactly as they seem perfectly meant to be.
The drummer with the blonde bob is beautiful. Loved Fun Boy Three. Great days in the late 70's early 80's.
The bass and guitar are really good- especially for a live performance.
stephen mcdonagh and Caroline on the Cello
Production values are astonishing.
I keep coming back to play this video I dont know what it is but there is something I cannot say but it just comes out as brilliance its addictive viewing
There is a sort of innocence that makes it totally brilliant
Sorry for use of the same word twice
But nowadays the stars seem to be so rehearsed I know it's what they have to do for the masses but I just love to see that vulnerability that seems so perfect
And we have lost that now
I do miss it
love ya Terry thanks for everything RIP

Goodbye cruel world. Terry we know you had it really tough but you blessed us with your creativity when you battled through the pain x
Gone too soon and too fast Terry Hall..I for 1 miss him terribly,he was only (re)starting to Shine Brightly-RIP Brother.

Rest in paradise, Terry!💔💔
Heart broken.💔
tremendously under-rated band. Good stuff.
Superb song. RIP Terry.
sheer 80s perfection
Love Terry Hall and his deadpan expression - brilliant!
I think June Miles-Kingston on the drums is an absolute star.
As if playing the drums wasn't hard enough, she sings harmony. xxxx
Effortless
True that singing harmonies is cool for a drummer, but June makes it easy by playing *exactly* the same in every bar the whole way this track.
I remember that so well from when this was first broadcast........
Having done this in bands myself, I concur! It ain't easy! RIP Mr Hall 😪
RIP Terry Hall, so cool and a great version of a classic.
I'm coming back to the 80's with all of You!!!best time of my life with the best music
Can you just imagine...being on that stage ...making this sound ,?

This is one of the most important songs of the 80s. Terry is brilliant and who knew at the time what his pain was.
Heard this on Chris Evans Radio 2 this morning, made my hair stand on end. Guessing last time I heard this it was in the charts, must have played it about ten times now! It's one of them (many) 80's songs that transports you back 30 years to a glorious decade of music, sad that you can't go back but happy to have experienced it...and as for June on drums...she looks cooool AND hot!
I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could. I was 15 in 1980. A great time to grow up.
Made your hair stand on end? I know what you mean and agree, but I no longer have hair to stand on end. I can sill do the "Office chair boogie" to this, though!
Genius. Best band of the 80s. IMO
Goodnight Terry Hall. A legend...
Rip...I dont know much about this band...but I love it
Masterpiece ❤
One of my very early favourites in my early teens. It still stands up today that song.
Sublime song! Great performance .
Makes me feel so melancholic. The music the clothes I was 17.. Please take me back... 😢
I heard Terry Hall on the radio the other day celebrating 40 years of the specials, 40 years??? Seems like a couple of years ago listening to the specials/ fun boy threein the charts, the years are flying by!!
The Specials/Fun Boy Three used to have parties in which they ate pies with fillings made up of aborted human fetuses.
