I slept on Chumbawumba for so long but my god this song is absolutely incredible. The a cappella version really showcases that they really were a highly talented group of true musicians.
I love this band. My sister listened to them when tubthumper came out and I recently discovered the amazing music they've made and how relevant it is today.
in their own right i think chumba wumba is one of the greatist bands of all time. their mere existance is almost sarcastic, taking the vitriol and energy of the counter culture and making it pop music lest the scene become a circle jerk. Just wonderful.
A lot of people gave them shit for signing to EMI, but I appreciate it. Interest in Chumbawamba after growing up with Tubthumper exposed me to politics that I might not have had an opportunity to be exposed to otherwise.

@@petegaslondon I wouldn't bother arguing with someone whose argument is "Socialism stinks". It's unlikely that they've ever had a job that largely connected them to people in a meaningful way.

This is awesome. I'm from the U.S., so I don't know firsthand about UK politics, but I think everybody can relate to this song in one way or another, lol.

October 13, 1925 -- April 8, 2013 I don't think that she would have liked what they had to say; I don't think that they liked what she had to say. But this may be one of the most beautiful "fuck off and die" songs ever performed!
good 1 Chumbawumba, her policies are leading to the country we see now, over 70% British Politicians are millionaires, "Stay Down margret Please" & by the by how many Iraqi's danced when Saddam died & we thought that was ok ;-)
I mean all political bands are somewhat pretentious. you have to confidently tell a large group of people they are not only wrong, but worth ridiculing. but music is a buyers market. you find that positive in the zeighiest and like the songs, sweet. if you don't go find things you do enjoy. calling a political band pretentious is kinda redudant.
Thatcher was certainly polarizing, but Chumbawamba were also a bunch of pseudo "anarchists" who really didn't understand politics, nor the world around them
Thatcher was parasites class hero, no doubt. Chumbawamba were not politicians, but as musicians they've made a lot to send clear messages from working class majority into the sterilized pro-capitalist pop culture. It's so unique so I can say they were real working class heroes!
Nice music. Unfortunately, it's in the service of something vile and hate fulled. It would please her know she's still pissing you off after being out of office for over twenty years.
the person who posted this is acting like a child you might be angry at her for closing down those mines and other buisneses that WERENT MAKING ANY MONEY but u probably didnt know that she was doing it for the good of the country and you probably werent even alive when she was in office.
I was alive when she was in office. She messed up British Manufacturing so now we have a cap in hand economy for all but the City types. And as for coal mining it was a dirty fuel and a dangerous job but at least British minors had unions. it became where it was cheaper to exploit a 13 year old Colombian boy minor and import the coal. No ethics, crazy environmental economics.
Well, the brighter note is, I'm sure I had no more respect for them than they showed for themselves in the < 1 minute of that video I watched. But why is it that it's the left that exhibit such utter soullessness as to actually anticipate gleefully the death of a human being with whom a mentally whole person might simply disagree? Castro who imprisoned an entire people, okay. Stalin who had millions exterminated, I can understand. But my God, to the left those are heroes! What do you think with?

It was the 13 anniversary of Margaret Thatcher kicking the bucket day yesterday,and this popped up in my phone diary.
I slept on Chumbawumba for so long but my god this song is absolutely incredible. The a cappella version really showcases that they really were a highly talented group of true musicians.
tis the 10 year anniversay, rejoice!
Another worthy addition to the ever growing list of anti Thatcher songs.
I love this band. My sister listened to them when tubthumper came out and I recently discovered the amazing music they've made and how relevant it is today.
P.s this song sounds like 26 Miles (Santa Catalina) by The Four Preps I love it
Just goes to show.. Nothing Ever Change..

lmaooo this video was posted the day after her death. good job op
Thanks :D
oooh I do so miss Maggie, she was the daughter of a butcher so she became a butcher herself, I think that that's lovely, keep it in the family chuck

unfortunatly they aren't active anymore. But this would be a great comeback! :D
She hasn't gone -look around you
she has come back as theresa may
This +1000
I thought this was literal for a second and that she was hiding in my closet or something lmao
She has been ruling this country the entire 41 years of my life!
Such a great song, so sublime yet not. One of my favorite bands, we need more artists like them!
It's raining, I need a pay rise. my ex is never coming back and I've only got one more bottle on the shelf....
BUT AT LEAST THATCHERS STILL DEAD

Please, Chumba, COME BACK !!!!!!!!!
She made the rich richer and the poor poorer, Im not bothered she died. So long so long!

Just a great piece. Thank you Chumbawamba
Amazing!

Good one! I like it! Nearly got enough songs for a party now!
The British public went with "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" as her anthem instead.
She was a statesman in the ilk of Sir Winston Churchill, and Nigel Farage. Sadly such great individuals are few and far between today.

What are you waiting for then
No we're waiting for the Tories to finally do that to themselves. They already paved the way with Brexit, Boris and Truss. Any day now...

I'm here because Rush Limbaugh died today. I felt this song was the most appropriate thing I could listen to.
Henry Kissinger now.
Is that really a seated gig?
I've been sleeping on yall I'm sorry
Not at all - he was talking about Thatcheritescot -a famous Scottish Thatcherite on youtube loool!
yea paul is right lad lfc
Give it 18 months and youll all be saying this about Starmer 😮
? was this meant for me
This song is not for minors .....
It's for everyone
they did a tony blair song
An Anti-Tony Blair song, surely.
A new song ? - Sounds awfully like '26 Miles' by the 4 preps
One good reason not to vote Tory...
I wish I'd heard this at the time, evil went out of the world when she died.
She died

Sounds good, but anti love, think you may not prosper with all the anger in your song.

Great songwriters, great musicians, but there is something about Chumbawamba that just smacks of false and affected pretentious bollocks.
And there you go....a reply that actually makes no sense!

Capitalism is bullshit

so long, so long
as if these were good things
Rest in peace Baroness Thatcher. Our greatest PM for 40 years. These singers are not fit to lick her boots.
Wrong, sorry.
who will remember chumbawamba?
who remembers you?
you
Is there an echo in here?
Thatcher was certainly polarizing, but Chumbawamba were also a bunch of pseudo "anarchists" who really didn't understand politics, nor the world around them
Beano Simmons they were cool anyway
Would your statement make the same amount of sense if you reversed it?
Idiot. They are anarchists. Not pseudo or “. And Thatcher was not polarizing, she was a mass murdering crime against humanity in the flesh.
Thatcher was parasites class hero, no doubt. Chumbawamba were not politicians, but as musicians they've made a lot to send clear messages from working class majority into the sterilized pro-capitalist pop culture. It's so unique so I can say they were real working class heroes!
