Holy f**k this is one of the best tunes I've ever heard in my life, and I'm nearly 60. How did I miss this. Still, making up for it now, can't stop playing it.
Cracking album I am curious oranj. My auntie and uncle bought it for me for Christmas when I was 14. I remember thinking what the fuck is this? Played it to death for years.
All the kids nowadays dream of being this. Possibly the coolest song ever recorded. RIP Mark E Smith. You coloured our nights & remained completely yourself to the end 💪
kids nowadays dont get this stuff at all ...-its too 'Anglo-saxon' shall we say ....Unfortunately its to be relegated to the dustbins of Time ..-very sad .. . !!!!
@@krishnan-resurrection714 Haha with kind respect I beg to disagree. I have people over of all ages and cultures. When I sneak in a couple o'Fall tunes I see everyone perk up with feet tapping, eyebrows raised and smiles.
@@LordOfTheThreeWorldsOh yeah mate!! My 18yo son's been into the Fall since he was in primary... His mates are now listening to the Fall, Banshees, Killing Joke etc etc. Krishna's no idea!
Ich habe the Fall einmal 1986 live gesehen es war ein unglaubliches Konzert. Diese Band war etwas besonderes, einen ganz eigenen zugang zum Rock'n'Roll. Danke dafür RIP Mark
You know the Falls song No Bulbs ? I just created a video to go with it and id love you all to check it out, it is my recent upload on my channel, Septemeber 2018, or simply type in The Fall no Bulbs and look for my username, fith on on the list i think. Justin
"Although she wrote many of the most acclaimed songs on the album, including "Overture From Kurious Oranj", "Van Plague?" and "Bad News Girl", she was excluded from the writing and publishing credits."
Brought my whole family to see The Fall in 1990 well me two brothers anyway and they said they sounded like a poundstretcher Saints/ Beefheart rip off act but they liked the leads singers 'attitude' so I called it a draw
Best first Mark on the ball and great sound. Now where to begin Keyboard girl adding much glamour. Brix No. Bad outfit and worse make up ( not that good on the guitar paying out for a Rickenbacha?) Wilson just annoys the shit out of me. He used to try taking over the local news. I think 1st he was Tony Wilson then Anthony Wilson then Anthony J Wilson and something else maybe not in that order. His head is so far up his own arse it's beyond belief. Look did he really have to walk right back in the centre after the tune ? I think not
John Peel introduced me and millions of others to all great alternative newcomer bands from the british isles! John Peel was as raw as the music he introduced.
@Schiani Ledo They just changed their name from ''Girl Band'' to ''Gilla Band'' because people said they had a ''misgendered name'', wow that's such a Mark E. Smith thing to do
To this day the Fall is my favorite punk/post punk group of all time. This clip shows how effortlessly COOL Smith is and what a shot of pure power glamour Brix gave the band. The rhythmic muscle of this track which is both insidious, slightly menacing, yet poppy, is just an example of how if the public could have been slightly more adventurous and GIVE IN to how Smith's caterwauling and dynamic sing shout actually ACCENTUATES this song and electrifies it - then the Fall would have been HUGE STARS. If anything, this video points to the necessity of taking music video and Music TV performance restoration seriously. Idiosyncratic and exceptional performers and groups (who often had fantastic videos) like the Fall, The Cramps, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Grace Jones, Lene Lovich etc. need to have their video output restored and put on formats like Blu-ray. There's no reason for such a fantastic clip like this to be relegated to shoddy UA-cam upload.
Tony, Mark and Rob Gretton up in heaven. Rob ripping the absolute shite out of Tony as he always did for any reason, Tony pretending to be offended but in reality loves the attention. Mark pissing himself laughing.
Marcia Schofield 😍 I was 14 and this was the first fall album I heard and have been a life long fan since. They just looked and sounded so cool and so damn important. Prole art for the ages.
Never forget when this album came out , was at university in Durham. I bought the cassette and it was one of those auto play albums - I mean just playing it forwards and backwards nonstop on autoplay. absolute genius. RIP MES.
In the 80s i didn't go much on the fall, then i heard this a few months ago on u-tube, now i play there greatest hits album to and from work... love it.
This is brill! Everything just comes together so well. The performance, the singing, the design the set and the filming. Brix and Marcia looking beautiful and alluring. Even MES looks the biz. WOW!!!
What is to be said that hasn't been said before? I love this band, I love this man, and I am so lucky that I chanced upon them in my formative years. RIP Mark E Smith
Danced to this song since 1987! Great song then and now. Today (03.02.2023)I found out that you left too soon Mark E .Smith (05.03.57- 24.01.18) my condolences ... r.i.p. 🙏 😢
I've loved The Fall for going on 40 years. Pretty much everything they did I liked, but their output from 1984-1989 was just about as perfect as it gets. For me, those were they're golden years.
I really, really love this song. !!! because of the bass and the rhythm, because of Mark E.'s energy and undescribable verbal-rhythmic input, and also because of Brix' s wonderful appearance and guitar playing, and also I want to say thanks and respect to the keyboards playing woman. 😘😘😘
Nice to see my mum's cousin Anthony looking so sharp on here..ahead of his time was that guy in many ways.I saw The Fall play about 4 or 5 yrs ago here in Hove ,fucking marvellous !
Fall records never did much for me but I was lucky enough to see them live twice and they were mesmerising. No more than an hour of a very orderly chaos ruthlessly managed by MES. This clip I think captures the live experience as well as any other.
A mate gave me a mixed tape of alternative music, 35 odd years ago. This song was on it... i had No idea who sang it for years!! So glad i finally know now.
One of the longest streaks of consistently great albums, M.E.S. and The Fall were always an absolute thrill in concert at the same time absolute masters of ego-less understatement, driving rhythm and utter cool. Nothing like it. One of the few bands I still listen to regularly after more than 40 years.
I'll send you a hug ,my dad Ted died 7 weeks ago and yesterday I was watching some blues on the BBC and picked up my phone to ring his mobile...yeah gulp ,tears.xxx
When I first discovered them I thought I found something special that very few people knew or appreciated. I remember passing on this limited edition little 3 inch cd set in a tiny orange wallet. 2500 were made . It was probably in 1989 at Piers platters in Hoboken. Remember it like yesterday 😁. Miss this dude
Loved it from 1988. We were wasted in college listening to it. Couldn’t recall band. Inside joke for 2 decades where we would say check the guys track record. Omg. Love it more now. Thank you.
It's sad he's gone. I just hope no one else from the classic era of Manchester music ends up the same way. New Order, The Smith's, Stone Roses, all of them.
Love that comment. It really isn't up for debate, it's a fact. Used to have I am curilus orange on record with a turntable. Those days are sadly not far from gone.RIP Mark E Smith.🙏🙏😂👌
@@ggoldfingers Crap live??? They were inconsistent, but that was part of their appeal. But they were also absolutely superb live. Have you not seen this? ua-cam.com/video/rH1KhxKh1YA/v-deo.html or this? ua-cam.com/video/bTJdWN6BqwU/v-deo.html
I was 15 when curious orange came out bought the album off the back of one song Victoria if I remember. Promptly returned it to woolies thinking wtf. How naive was I.
super pullover of Mark, looking smart..i saw them playing live with Brix in my town. Stands out as something although if you have ever seen them live, it is the whole band , with everything in place , the wall of sound etc ... that is captivating.
You may not have been appreciated by the mainstream Mark, but The Fall’s impact on my own life has been monumental. Rest in peace hip priest. Your vibrations live on
Brix Smith looked fantastic here and made a lot of difference to the band. The Fall had some brilliant records in their time and Mark Smith vocals were not unlike Bob Dylan really. Intelligent lyrics.
@campfreddie well chosen my friend - saw The Fall 4 days ago here in sydney australia - watched a performance beyond words, beyond most musical experience - and an old heart was thrilled by the number of 'youngens' present - I watched, of course, from a respectful pint clunching Peel like distance!
I played guitar in a band in Leeds around 1980/81 with a band called performance anxiety we only played locally but someone got us a support slot for support band for the fall in the f club at the time.I didn't realise at the time the importance of the experience, I have a few fall albums now a bit of musical history there great times
Early Years 77-79. The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall, This Nation's Saving Grace, Grotesque are all essential for establishing a solid foundation in appreciating the complexity of The Fall.
6 days later- i cannot stop playing this song! brix smith- you can just see how much she is into the record- cannot take your eyes off her
Brix would STILL get it. All day long & 5 times on a Sunday.
Holy f**k this is one of the best tunes I've ever heard in my life, and I'm nearly 60. How did I miss this. Still, making up for it now, can't stop playing it.
I'm with you.
just purchased it on vinyl.
CHECK THE RECORD.
CHECK THE GUYS TRACK RECORD.
@@deltaframes-os4km Only another 56 albums to go then
There goes all your free time for the next 10 years. That'll bring you up to circa 1990.
Cracking album I am curious oranj. My auntie and uncle bought it for me for Christmas when I was 14. I remember thinking what the fuck is this? Played it to death for years.
I'm almost 50 and I only discovered the fall about a month ago. I'm totally obsessed with them now. I don't understand how I lived without them 💖💖💖💖
Was into punk and new wave as a teenager in the 80's, now at 55 totally obsessed with the fall . A great discovery
Serious Bauhaus vibes.
All the kids nowadays dream of being this. Possibly the coolest song ever recorded. RIP Mark E Smith. You coloured our nights & remained completely yourself to the end 💪
1st y hear, see , understand. Then might have smthn to say, if sing it play it with yr group, then youre the fall.
Rip mark

There's two kind of people in this world my friend, those that know that The Fall was the best band ever, and those who wiil know it someday.
We’re in 2023 and still a superlative blast of music
Now 2024, still superlative.
preach
2024 actually. Snug snug groove
This song is awful? Maybe there are better examples of this tools talents but this is a pile of poo. Too much speed?
Ich habe the Fall einmal 1986 live gesehen es war ein unglaubliches Konzert. Diese Band war etwas besonderes, einen ganz eigenen zugang zum Rock'n'Roll.
Danke dafür RIP Mark
This can and will play in your head for years to come.
I was singing it in the kitchen clearing the dishwasher last week not having heard it for years and years. Then it popped up as a UA-cam suggestion!
*then we have something to look forward to!*
Check the record
Back in the day was into the fall,realising now just how important they are......r.i.p.marc e.
RIP Mark E Smith, a true pioneer and unwavering in his genius

How the fuck did I miss these guys! This song is going to be in my head for weeks....
That guitar sounds AMAZING with the tape wobble.
HA no that's just how he played
mark letting out that magnificent shriek at 2:13 and then immediately getting WAY more into the performance might be my favourite fall moment ever
I haven't heard this for over 30 years ! What a memory and what a groove.
John Peel introduced me and millions of others to all great alternative newcomer bands from the british isles!
John Peel was as raw as the music he introduced.
Hence why he hosted Radio 4's Saturday morning programme, Home Truths wait what
And the girls he had.
That raven-headed woman is rather nice.
We’re in 2021 and this is a gem.
2022*
Indestructible 💎
We're in 2022 and this is definitely a gem.
Likewise and this is 2022
We're now in 2022.
Mark E Smith has dead for 4 years.
Still fucking hurts.
He is up there with the greats.
I loved the fall as a 13 year old coming from the north west of England and I still love them now at 50. RIP Mark
We Need to get a Statue of Mark E Smith up in Prestwich or Manchester
He is a legend.(you already knew that).
Holy shit !!! incredible.
Legend...we'll never see another Mark E Smith.
@Schiani Ledo They just changed their name from ''Girl Band'' to ''Gilla Band'' because people said they had a ''misgendered name'', wow that's such a Mark E. Smith thing to do

AI will fix this any way you want it, even place it medieval played by bards at a battle
We're privileged to see this at all
Never got the recognition he deserved supper talented
Such a great song. It's hypnotic like so many great Fall tunes.
Should be the National athemn of the United Kingdom.
Cool ones only yeah?
It is.
I am devastated that I was not aware or was unaware this was in existence in 1988.Tony Wilson...legend.
It's Rock and Roll by Gary Glitter
Tony, Mark and Rob Gretton up in heaven. Rob ripping the absolute shite out of Tony as he always did for any reason, Tony pretending to be offended but in reality loves the attention. Mark pissing himself laughing.
Brix looks super cool! Fantastic track.
She was hot, a stunning looking woman, and made a difference in the band . A brilliant band
She looks likes she’s just about to orgasm
@@tramlad2 how about she was just talented at what she did instead of focusing on her looks alone?
Marcia Schofield 😍 I was 14 and this was the first fall album I heard and have been a life long fan since. They just looked and sounded so cool and so damn important. Prole art for the ages.
Never forget when this album came out , was at university in Durham. I bought the cassette and it was one of those auto play albums - I mean just playing it forwards and backwards nonstop on autoplay. absolute genius. RIP MES.
Did you fight against the underclass
I had it on cassette too! A fabulous orange box of musical genius.
Can't believe he's dead. Came to this song soon as I heard. He is not appreciated! RIP Mark E Smith
In the 80s i didn't go much on the fall, then i heard this a few months ago on u-tube, now i play there greatest hits album to and from work... love it.
What a belting riff. And Marks snarling vocals compliment it beautifully.
+Ignatious Reilly Shame there ain't no Miss Trixie on the lute...or Myrna Minkoff on backing vocals.

Greatest band ever in the history of music..
What is to be said that hasn't been said before? I love this band, I love this man, and I am so lucky that I chanced upon them in my formative years. RIP Mark E Smith
Oh my goodness, so sad to see he passed today. Will forever love this offering.

One of the greatest British bands 😎
I was on vacation in Spain 7 years ago and Steven from Liverpool mentioned this song to me, now hear it for the first time.
Excellent. Takes me back to the days of listening to The Fall on Peel.
I've loved The Fall for going on 40 years. Pretty much everything they did I liked, but their output from 1984-1989 was just about as perfect as it gets. For me, those were they're golden years.

No more than an hour of a very orderly chaos ruthlessly managed by MES.
This clip I think captures the live experience as well as any other.
I made Mark giggle on stage. High point of my life to date.
A mate gave me a mixed tape of alternative music, 35 odd years ago. This song was on it... i had No idea who sang it for years!! So glad i finally know now.
Mark at the peak of his POWER and BEAUTY and BRAINZZZ god damn no one will ever replace him
Didn't know the band until fairly recently. Like the hypnotic beat and Mark's lyrics and vocals.
All Glories to Mr Steve Hanley
Testify.
Fantastic video. Hypnotizing
Let Us Be Thankful We Had Mark E Smith. Play More. Play More Now. Play and be Happy. RIP.

my dad used to sing this song to me when I was a baby he told me and played the song and started to cry and now I'm crying omg😢😢😢😢😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That is one cool dad.
Great Dad.The world needs more Dads like this.
I'll send you a hug ,my dad Ted died 7 weeks ago and yesterday I was watching some blues on the BBC and picked up my phone to ring his mobile...yeah gulp ,tears.xxx

First song I ever heard of them. Good times, good memories.

Mark E Smith - You'll be greatly missed. RIP.
Easily at the top of the "most underrated and important bands ever" list. Even if you don't listen to the Fall, the cool bands you love probably did.
This is my favourite Fall line-up.
well put also mine love the video for hit the north ..........................best line up
Man, this song has the most awesome beat and is as unique as you can get!
R.I.P Mark E Smith.Always a legend
A thinker. Not too many left. The world is left blander without him. Up there with john.
What a groovy band The Fall were in those days with those two gorgeous ladies Brix and Marcia. Great stuff.
Like how amazing is that?
Seen 'em play it live as an encore to close a concert. Still rocks! That's a good track record. Ho ho!
i feel like at least a billion people need to see this now
Saw them on the 1988 tour, it was wonderful, a fantastic mix of edgy pop
It's sad he's gone. I just hope no one else from the classic era of Manchester music ends up the same way. New Order, The Smith's, Stone Roses, all of them.
Mark's best haircut in my opinion.
I'd love to be discovering the Fall for the first time again.
I do think The Fall are probably the best band in the history of mankind, actually there is no probably about it.
Love that comment. It really isn't up for debate, it's a fact. Used to have I am curilus orange on record with a turntable. Those days are sadly not far from gone.RIP Mark E Smith.🙏🙏😂👌
They have an excellent track record.
They were absolutely terrible live.
I love them but to know their music from 1979 onwards is to realise that they were also crap for years too.
@@ggoldfingers Crap live??? They were inconsistent, but that was part of their appeal. But they were also absolutely superb live. Have you not seen this? ua-cam.com/video/rH1KhxKh1YA/v-deo.html or this? ua-cam.com/video/bTJdWN6BqwU/v-deo.html

This is good...first time I've heard it!
Saw them about 4 or 5 times, different every time, always excellent
Cracking rhythm section. Bloody great. Shame my vinyl collection went missing in a Brighton flat in '98. Thanks for posting.
Loved this band ever since I bought a bunch of records from a guy in a Brighton pub and this was among them..around 98 I think it was.
Great song , great performance , one of a kind .
Amazing.
I'm so happy with this.
i am 73 and yeh your all right ,what a fantastic rift. good for an 80s sci fi film .just great.
ps.this is my sons account!
Brix looks like she is having the time of her life here. Like she's living out out a childhood Glam Rock fantasy.
Saw them Glasgow Barrowlands shortly after this- superb Dec 88. 👍 .
RIP Antony B.
Such an amazing performance! Brix and the keyboardist look super hot too. ;)
curtisrunstedler, check out her thigh high boots.
We could be in 3021 and this would still be a gem
Brix Smith looked fantastic here and made a lot of difference to the band. The Fall had some brilliant records in their time and Mark Smith vocals were not unlike Bob Dylan really. Intelligent lyrics.
@campfreddie well chosen my friend - saw The Fall 4 days ago here in sydney australia - watched a performance beyond words, beyond most musical experience - and an old heart was thrilled by the number of 'youngens' present - I watched, of course, from a respectful pint clunching Peel like distance!
Great stuff
Brix plays great on this and the band rocks
Mark is fucking awesome
Best line up.
OSM was a fantastic thing to watch on those Sunday evenings with the bleak look towards work the next day!!!
Great guitar. Simple and incredibly effective.
I thought I'd agree with myself here.
Then again, no goodbyes for Mark's exquisite genuine art work remains. RIP
How good is this...brilliant.
Just the best fucking band ever.
Camo here,Seen em about three times.the last time Mark and brix kept fall_ING out on stage,then walked off.jah wobble came on after them,sublime.xxxx
Utter genius.
I played guitar in a band in Leeds around 1980/81 with a band called performance anxiety we only played locally but someone got us a support slot for support band for the fall in the f club at the time.I didn't realise at the time the importance of the experience, I have a few fall albums now a bit of musical history there great times
