There can't be many bands where all the members could sing really well, write really well, play loads of instruments and produce great sounding records. These boys were the full package. And they did it all in a studio they built themselves in Stockport!
I think the drummer, only, can sing really well. LOL makes me lol. Such mewling! If they could write really well, then, why didn't they? How did Gouldman never even come close to writing anything as good as what's on his pre-10cc resume? Did he fall and hurt his head? The most overrated band to ever come out of the UK, as their lack of chart success in the States demonstrates.
@@CoCotheTurtle Well, that's me told.
@@CoCotheTurtle Is that the same States that didn't really appreciate The Kinks?
@@paulreynolds3582 I admit that I am on a lonely island of bewilderment regarding the love for 10cc. I'm on the outside, looking in!
And they did stuff for Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues
One of the most underrated groups of the 70s
😄 Sure, whatever.
One of the most overused pointless and unoriginal comments in the history of social media.
@@imwelshjesus if that's the best comeback you got you're pretty damn weak!!!
@@loupashire keep listening to Taylor Swift you'll be okay!!
Classic band! They say never go back but isn't youtube great for reliving your youth! Great days, great bands, great songs!
I spend loads of time in the past and sometimes I come back to the present.
I love how the drummer is holding his sticks backwards. I have to figure it is to remind himself that he is not actually playing the drums, but pantomiming it... to prevent himself from subconsciously actually clashing the cymbols and such.
As a young person, I am so thankful to Superjail for making this the theme song on the first couple episodes. It introduced me to one of my favorite bands and one of the best english bands of all time. Plus that guitar solo fucking kills.
Is it? I thought the superjail theme was called I’m comin home. Very similar songs tbf but that’s just bluesy chords for ye.
@@jamesh1758 They used this song for the pilot episode
10cc were an absolute incredible band
They had some really good songs throughout the 70s
Rubber bullets
Dreadlock holiday
I'm mandy fly me
I'm not in love
The things we do for love ❤️ 😍
They were both funny and weird, yet well written produced and self engineered. There's no one like them really.
There's a rumour going round death row that a fuse is gonna blow you'd hope so if you're facing the chair not bad they were funny !
10cc - Rubber Bullets (TOTP 1973) 1531pm 1.8.23 delivering pizzas? residents must have sampled these dudes... refer to the snakefinger type guitar skit. is one of these guys native american? these dudes seem to typify the group who allus has a member who is allus in a bad mood...

@@keithrfield Comments on ‘10cc - Rubber Bullets (TOTP 1973)’ 0828am 12.8.23 serves you right foe listening to candid recordings not meant for public consumption... i'd love to hear the recordings you have been listening to.. as we, maybe, pop round to the pervert/paranoid schizo's pad to have a word about recording people without consent...
@@JJONNYREPP blud is short-circuiting
Another brilliant song from 10cc.Every song was a gem.
This band is outstanding in the sense that they experimented with different genres/sounds.
@@toddblanks I have no idea. Probably.
@@gwynnielsen5081 He is not even playing the drums in this vudeo. He's pretending. They all are. Fail
@@dasmixmc This, unfortunately, is true for most bands who "pose" for videos. I usually don't sing in mine: ruclips.net/video/59FrTlhBH9g/видео.html, but I do make my own and save a ton of money by doing it all myself or with one person's help.
@@dasmixmc No fail - almost every band were told by TOTP that they had to mime. If you've seen 10cc live, you know just how good they were.
This will soon be banned what a stupid world lol x
They were very talented without a doubt and everyone of their hits was different.Class act.
When three producers make a band it’s always next level
You can see the influence they had on Queen. Freddie Mercury loved these guys.
That's some endorsement he knew true Talent
That's probably why I often got them mixed up. Still do, sometimes.
A nuit a Paris -Bohemian Rhapsody (video for I'm not in love - Video for Bohemian Rhapsody) They toured played together in Liverpool in December 1973
@@lucioagelvis2134 I didnt know that who topped the bill. although bohemian rhapsody and une unit in paris have operatic similarities I doubt very much if either influenced the other. Bohemian rhapsody reached number 1 on multiple occasions. Une unit in paris was just a track on the original soundtrack album.
@@mreddiegdaly I Know. Fans of both groups say there is no influence. I see a few similarities in the beginning of both songs. A long time die hard fan of 10cc told me no. You can check what 10cc's Graham Gouldman said about BoRhap. I've been a Queen fan since 1975 and rediscovered (discovered 10Cc in the late 2000's) For me "The Things we do for love" is the perfect pop song. Rubber Bullets surely could've (should've ) been a hit in the U.S.
They had 4 really good writers - who could all sing really well.
A fantastic, creative band who split way too early IMO.
Surely one of the most underrated UK bands of all time?
Not one of the most - The most underrated UK band!
@@rusynlig1 They were always on the radio hardly under rated
was this song on the record charts in America in 1973?
Rune Pettersen
Their legacy and influence, surely, yes.
One of the most overrated more like. They were pants. This is the only half decent song they had.
They're only underated by people who don't remember or who weren't there. They were fantastic
Hello Mary, How are you doing?
No-one has mastered the fine art of air drumming like Kevin Godley!
Now I know that, I can stop enjoying the music and just look at him as a fraud.
Anonymous person. You are right he was and probably still is a phenomenal drummer. Went to many 10cc concerts during that great musical era of the 70s and they also had another drummer on stage called Pete Burgess. He was a phenomenon too. Fond memories.
@@susanhill8332 I have seen Ten CC live in 2009 with Paul Burgess drumming. He made it look effortless en natural. Great musicians. All of them👍😍.
@@MrHoefnix It's great that they are still going in one way or another. But Pete Burgess was something special. We will always have the album's to remind us of a great band. 😊👍
@@MrDickBills Top Of The Pops was always mimed. The studio wasn't wired up for sound so playing live wasn't even an option.
Great 1973 memories for me and Lol was hot 🔥
Totally underrated pop band of the 70s ... playing their entire catalogue is like mining for gems
!
Alan you are so underrated...
Nearest thing to the Beatles
@@limitededition1053 glad you're joking.
@@bp6329 I'm most certainly am not.
@@limitededition1053 What about ELO?
Rubber Bullets was the first single released by 10cc, released in 1973.
Now this song is 50 years old.
Their first single was Donna.
It was Dona dude
@mrsrowdy No it was Rubber Bullets.
10cc's first three singles were Donna, Johnny Don't Do It and Rubber Bullets. In that order.
@@davidjgomm You're wrong.
This group made singles that all had their own unique sound. So underated and should be honoured on the pedestal of greatness!
One of the most creative music making groups of all time, their music was different then and still different now :)
THE GOOD OLE DAYS WHEN BANDS LIKE THIS WERE MASTERS OF BRILLANT MUSIC ROCK ON GUYS STIL LOVE THIS SONG AFTER 50 YEARS😎🎶🎶🎶
every time i see the riots on tv this song starts playing in my head. a perfect song for the situation i recon lol
Clever talented bunch, every single a bloody masterpiece.....what else is there to say..oh yes....brilliant.
That was just awful. Yikes.
@@dmannevada5981 Yeah, the bands had to mime/lyp sinc on Top Of The pops and it's pretty hard to mime on a drum kit. Good song though.
Ppp
I give you your 100 likes
All these guys are so talented
No more to add .....
tune73 hear hear. Superbly talented. All four of them
Very very underrated band way ahead of their time great songs
4 singers, 4 talented musicians, 4 songwriters, what talent. A brilliant group. Before they got famous they did the backing for a Neil Sedaka album.
... and zero taste.
Neil’s great he’s done some of the greatest songs.Listen to solitaire,if that don’t get ya,I give up!
@@colinwilkes8957 You might be on your own with Solitaire , Colin...
as a 10yr old this is the first song i ever played on a jukebox... how cool did i feel that day?.... yeah man, that's my selection playing.... the 70's were by far the coolest times ever, even cooler than the 60's.
1973, the first year I played with a band in public on keyboards, Farfisa organ. Never even considered doing one of their songs. Now at 65, I am doing Rubber Bullets as often as I get the chance, but in G not D. I remember doing Dreadlock Holiday around 78, I think and David Essex's 'oh what a circus'..
10cc ......genius band.
1000%
I remember this being Number 1 when I was 10. My God we were spoilt ! I thought music would always be this good.
Unfortunately not. Now it’s mostly talentless with computer generated beats and auto tune. Wish we had some good music like this come through and take over again.
@@kasykah I like the statement music was better when ugly people sung it. Even tho most of those people were quite average looking
@@coffeejunkie7954 They were beautiful.
Also using English properly helps people understand.
I like the statement, 'Music was better when ugly people sung it'.
It was for a while and then someone invented a stupid kareoke machine, things went tits up from then on in.
Be the subject. Not so good mind you it is a good track
Where's the time gone seems like only yesterday. Supreme track from a supreme group. Cheers guys.
loved this lot. Funny, great songs, good musicians, tongue in cheek lyrics, what wasn't to like?
Brilliant song stolen straight from Student demonstration time by the Beachboys.
Eagles
Tongue between cheeks more like it. Butt cheeks
@@tutenvanman2715 Brian Wilson is a genius
I was 12 at the time
10cc delights us with its very versatile music.
They were so funny yet real good at the same time
10cc.. A vast catalogue of music that matters.Enough talent here to form several bands by today’s standards
Fantastic song and even better air drumming.
I was 15 when this song hit the charts... glory days.
Quite a band. All four could sing and all four were songwriters. Saw them in 76, great band.
Gill P magic at their best Gill
Wow Gill n like wise ..Kind regards Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands 🌷🌷🤗🤗
Same with The Beatles.
As a kid, I never really got the cleverness of many of their lyrics. Had a crush on Lol Creme.😍 10cc were such a great band.
My too..Loved Lol 😘
I don't think they ever made a bad record. Very underrated.
What an underrated comment.
Saw them live at Birmingham Odeon on a couple of occasions. I remember they started to play a song and Lol said “whoa, that was a rubbish start” and they started it all over again! Super band
I dunno. Maybe not a bad one, but in my book Sheet Music and maybe the first one is way superior to (for example) How Dare You?.
Loved this band!! Used to dance to this at the disco on Friday night!! Good times 😁👍
Hello Anne, How are you doing?
BEST TIMES EVER.
Showing my age now, I remember when this came out I had just started junior school ha ha, Brilliant👍👍👍
Showing your age I'd left by 1973 lol 😂👍, great song and band .

Oh wow. My favourite song at 14, sitting in front of the radio with my cassette recorder. I loved 10 cc because they were so different. Couldn't understand all the smart texts but i listened to that music and it was clear to me that this was absolutely fantastic. I still love them. There will never be a band like this again....
They described themselves as sounding like 400 maniacs from Hollywood,when they were 4 “scruffy gits” from Manchester,in the words of Kevin Godley.
Fantastic group-a great coming together of talent
Did the sane, also 14 !
Only in Germany from AFN Radio Frankfurt.
I'm also german, by the way
@@bluejay5931 Schoenes Wochenende aus Polen Dir.
4 immensley talented musicians all sparking off each others ideas. Must have been great fun.
Listening to this masterpiece in the first days of june 2020 feels weired
and April 2021. Rubber bullets will be flying tonight
Remember Rubber Bullets being released in early 70s and I was hooked. Drove my mum and dad nuts playing the song over and over again. Truly awesome band. There live concerts were truly brilliant. Many great memories.
I annoyed my late mother some years later, playing I'm Not In Love too loud, yet she used to play loud opera, go figure.
@@julianaylor4351 your lucky with the opera. My mother thought Des O'Connor singing dic a dum dum was the music I should have been listening to!!!
Too young to have caught the band in the old days, but seeing the 'video' for "Good Morning Judge" on tv is one of my earliest memories, age ~4 and I *loved* it. I finally saw 10cc quite recently. Only Gouldman left now from the original lineup, but he's got a top notch band of multi-instrumentalists on stage with him, some of which have performed live with the band since 1975 so the performance was authentic, and as tight as a drum, with every note, utterance and sound from those great vinyl discs faithfully reproduced. They played my all-time fave Silly Love, so I was delighted. The show was overflowing with joy, wit and consummate musicianship. When they did "I'm not in love" I looked around and there were dozens of fully grown (well, grey and balding) men with tears in their eyes. Probably just star dust, because big boys don't cry. If they play near you, get a ticket. You can expect a thrilling experience.
@@BrennanYoung Yes "Silly Love" was a brilliant song. If you ever get the album " Sheet Music", an absolute must to listen to. Has to be one of all time great albums. Still play my original vinyl from the 70s. There lyrics were sharp and full of humour. It was a sad day when Godley and Creme left to do there own thing and I felt that Gouldman and Eric Stewart lost there edge and originality just a little, but by the same token I also felt Godley and Creme lost there way a bit. They made a triple album called "Consequences" which I found a little tedious and self indulgent. So they should have stayed in the original line up and carried on making great music. But so many great memories of seeing them on stage in the 70s. They put on superb shows. Remember they had 2 drummers for live concerts. Think his name was Pete Burgess. They just don't make music like it now. All lip sync and no talent now. So keep playing the old vinyls, scratches as well!!!
@@susanhill8332 I *love* all the 70s 10cc albums, but Sheet Music is my favorite too! It's bursting with musical ideas, and as for the lyrics, G+C had the vitriol, and G+S had the sweetness. However 10cc without G+C are clearly better than G+C as a duo. "Consequences" should have been a work of genius, but even Peter Cook's talent couldn't save it from sagging under its own weight. It didn't help that G+C were constantly stoned, Cook was constantly drunk, and they were rarely in the studio at the same time. They also hoped to use it to promote their 'gizmo' (featured on "Blackmail"). Ridiculous ambitions. By the time it finally came out, punk was peaking, and the album fulfilled almost every rock dinosaur cliche the punks (and their journalist supporters) could throw at it. Some fair tracks on the other G+C albums, but none of the sparkle of Sheet Music, Original Soundtrack or How Dare You, IMO. "Under Your Thumb" was a pretty good single tho. I *love* "Deceptive Bends" to bits.
Burgess was in the band when I saw them a couple of years ago, and I gotta say, he almost stole the show. That guy is a monster talent, and he deserves far more recognition. Fenn is also a great performer, but at least people have heard of him. He made a decent album with Nick Mason, Carla Bley and Robert Wyatt. Thanks for the chat! :)
I absolutely love this band. They had a couple pretty big hits in the US, I had a couple albums, but now I own them all. Every one is worthwhile. Can't say that all that often.
Love this band, so talented, they were all songwriters, singers and musicians. I saw them live a few years back in Kings Lynn, just two of the originals were there but they were fantastic. This song was nunber one on June 23rd 1973 when I was on holiday at Leysdown on the Isle of sheppey, it was playing on the jukebox in an amusement arcade there. The song takes me back to wonderful times. It reminds me of a beautiful girl I met there, Sandra Cooper, we got engaged and was together for 4 years, the best time in my life, sadly we split up.
My goodness....I remember the song well. June 23rd 1973 was the day my second son was born. A good day. Funny thing was our surname was Baker as in the song.
@@georgiaraynes1421 I remember that day like it was yesterday, it was glorious sunshine.
Fantastic group. Saw them live. Outstanding. 👌🙌
They didn't seem to follow any rules just trusted their talent and came up with special songs like this.
Fantastic. Love the song since the 70s. Still rocks. 💯💯💯💯
Superb, beautiful, fun, amazing, super-talented, wonderful band. Love every single one of them.
Saw 10cc live. Amazing. 🎸🎼🎶🎇🎇🎇🎇
That's good. I'll be seeing them in Austin in August.
I wonder what made this oldie, come to my mind!!!

6 years old.my late big brother had it.still remember it.great.Steven Boswell.edinburgh
Those microphones are so good they pick even when the singer is a foot and 1/2 away or facing the complete opposite direction. Still good to see the boys punching out this number
Omg...the lyrics of this song are incredible! Hilarious throughout.
The goofiness of ther debut album is unrivalled. Every song is smashing.❤
I see the word "underrated" everywhere, mostly applied to very successful artists of stage, screen and studio. Underrated applies to actors, for example, whose face you know because they're constantly working, but you don't know their name. Similarly, if a band/musical artist writes great songs that aren't reflected by sales...underrated.
10CC had a great deal of success. Their _legacy_ is such that they aren't first to mind when people talk about popular music of the 1970's, but there's no way to ensure one's impact on the culture.
A very good point. And 10CC added little to the evolution of pop. They did parodies.
How prescient were these guys. Look what's happening in the States right now. In the top 5 bands ever , IMHO.
I said almost the same words.
“This track is exactly 37 years old and as prescient today as it was when it was first released.”
When it was released the BBC limited its airplay because they thought it was about Northern Ireland (rubber bullets were invented by the British army for use against the Irish.)
😁😂
If only those slugs were real.
@@dars5229 It was actually about an Attica State Prison Riot
I remember me and my brother Paul just running around canning town when I was 8ys he was 9 and half just bring kids I just always remember these lyrics.. God bless Paul. Rip
STILL LISTENING TO THIS MASTERPIECE 49 YEARS LATER. THEIR MUSIC, A BLEND OF POP, ROCK AND REGGAE 🤩
So many memories I was 13. Loved our 70s music 🎶 🎵
BEST DAYS EVER.
I was alive when this song was released 🙌🏻❤️💜❤️
First heard Rubber Bullets at a disco way out in the boonies south of Glasgow in 1973, dancing with a girl called Morag. Happy Memories, wherever you are now! Suzi Quattro was next on with Can the Can!
When I was younger and in the car with my dad, he would always speed up when this song came on and turned the volume all the way up. I was so confused because when I was that young I thought it was just noise, but my god, I know why he did it now
The fantastic 70s what great bands we had back then
Alan Carroll to true Alan 😊
Favorite song when I was eleven. Hey look the audience is alive, they are moving.
I was, Decorating, Kevin Godleys, Apartment in Broughton Park, Salford. When this record was in the charts. Nice guys, All' of them.
What a gem 💎 from the past just 😊really about music 🎶 I can remember well ...10cc what a group... talented in everyway these guy's.
Respect ❤
Dj dave 🎉
It's funny how Kevin Godley can play the drums without actually touching either drums or symbals with his sticks, that's very impressive. Great song thou', I was always a 10cc fan.
*ITS BECAUSE THEY'RE PLAYING ON "TOP OF THE FLOPS" BEST THING THAT COULDVE HAPPENED THE "MIMING MOB" BEING "UNAIRED" :-) :-D. :-b*
Awesome song, I loved it way back when, still love it.
They were brilliant and my favorite band when I was at school . I was lucky enough to see them in 1975 and 1976 , which was their last tour before they broke up.... 😭💔
This takes me back it still sounds brilliant
Great song. Great era.
Im sure my mum still has all my
glam outfits at her home in storage.
My dad introduced me to this song when I was about 10 years old
Im 21 now and I’m still loving it xx

Andrew Matthews so unfortunate !

Definitely going on my "when it all finally pops off" playlist
When you have a look to see who was no 1 when you were born and you find out it was this 😀, one of my favourite songs!
Saw these boys live in the Isle of Man in 73 still the best live performance I ve seen
so lucky
Great times life seemed so simple then.
It was my friend, it was.
One of the best band in history of the rock/pop music . No doubt!
Best British band of the seventies, that many people have missed out on....go listen to their tracks....you won't regret it. 🎸❤️😎🎶
Just incredible; four very talented AND very good looking guys in one band :)
Good looking guys? Should have gone to Specsavers.
@@roys3580 And I am sure you are just gorgeous.
La mejor banda Británica de todos los tiempos , eran únicos. Buenos compositores buenos músicos buenos cantantes,
Un problema es que el baterista no está tocando
So glad I grew up with this music. Yes the music these days is overall pretty sad. But there are numerous good bands and artists around. Most not in the top 30 though.
Love this band best music for our 70's College dance parties
They cut out one of the classic lines in this song!! Likely because that TV show had young viewers.
"Well we all got balls and brains, but somes got balls and chains."
And "somes" is not a typo, that's how they wrote it!! Haha! Love these guys!!
Great vid and high-quality sound, thanks for the upload!
Very talented band and one of the few to play live on TOTP.
Never get tired of this. Brilliant.
This song rocks! Easily top 10 of the best rock songs ever!
Imagine a song like this in 2021 being in an equivalent show
I love the way Kevin Godley is being extra careful to never actually hit a cymbal, sometimes the enforced miming on TOTP was cringeworthy
Seeing them in March! Saw them a year or so back - fecking amazing!
Not the same band
@@nigelgreenwood9010
Maybe not but enough original members & accomplished musicians to make it a great night!
Nice early 70s Pop nostalgia.
Love that Gibson Lol Creme is playing! A pure Johnny Thunders special!
Went to leysdown,in Kent,back in the wonderful summer of 1973 for a rare holiday and getaway from London. Me,my kid brother,my sister,my mum and my late aunt. This great song was never off the radio,I was ten years old at that time,I’d go back in a heartbeat. I miss the 70’s,such a great time to be alive.
"I went to a party at the local county jail..."
Err... What?
It's a reference to Jailhouse Rock.
@@BlueBoy0 Thanks. I learn.
Its about a prison riot that is based on a film a riot in the1950s
Every days a party in jail, apparently! Scoundrels!
There was a prison riot that was based on a film? That's intense....
Everything was great. I've seen them live 3 or 4 times in recent years - they still put on a great show. I think Gouldman is now the only original member of the group.
Loved this x First vinyl single I ever bought❤️
Only Band in History with the Drummer/ singer at the front.Brilliant song RIP JR( John Roberts) Unity Hall Balmain!
Incorrect. Paper lace also had the drummer as singer & was out front!
another reminder that "pop" music can say something meaningful
