This is an absolute classic indie tune!Met Louise 1st time saw them when I was a teenager.Saw them few years ago in London.Blew me away.I forgot how amazing they are and love them more as I'm older.Louise is still stunning!
17 January 2020, Palermo, Sicily. Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Sleeper and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you. And love, admiration and adoration.
I burned through so many Walkman batteries listening to my Sleeper albums on tape... I still remember those morning walks in Sheffield, down the hill to Uni.
I really miss the Britpop trope of taking place in supermarkets; I keep remembering things I need to pick up when I watch them. Not sure that was their intention, but still. Must pick up some Brasso
I am so grateful to my Mum, best Mum I could ever have. We just got back from the pub after a few pints, and we were talking about all kinds of music. My Mum is into everything from Nat King Cole to The Carpenters to Showaddywaddy to Duran Duran to Seal to The Prodigy to Justin Timberlake and beyond, she’s into so much, born in 72, teen in the 80s, lived this 90s scene, went to Knebworth in 1996, the whole works. She just sat me down once we got home tonight and introduced me to Sleeper and Britpop that wasn’t Oasis and I’ve fallen in love with it. God bless her and her taste.
Great song from the 90s Louise always wrote great lyrics, sang in her own style and the band made catchy and damn fine music She's now a very accomplished writer Fabulous and those eyes are magical
I don't think she was pretentious. Really pretty girl had some great songs and now she's an author. Had a great life from what I can see nice one Louise.
I miss this time period in music so much. Every week there was another band, more CD singles to buy and videos to watch for. I loved Sleeper. There was something real sounding in their lyrics and music. Good memories!
Presumably because certain factions within British music journalism were obsessed with building up vaporpop bands like Menswe@r, that lasted about 2 seconds; meanwhile, over here in America, nobody knew who those guys were, except those of us who fervently studied imported music magazines, bought the CDs, etc. Yet, who's still alive and kicking now in 2022? None other than lovely Louise and Co. 😍
@@ModMokkaMatti Nah, the U.S. were ignorant about British bands in the 90s and proud of it, not America... South America had all these bands playing 24/7 on MTV including menswear... Also, the U.S. always had their local female bands darlings like Belly, Luscious Jackson, Veruca Salt, L7... and they chose to focus on Canadian Lilith Fair group of women than on the U.K... why? Arrogance, maybe...
Watched this vid for the 1st time in a student bar way back in early 90's, they had no money, starting out and just related to it so much. Classic band and still kicking the gear in 2021. Happy memories.
She was great on the Danny Baker show. She picked my favourite 90s album for the capsule too. Garbage by Garbage. She also spoke the most sense of all of them.
It was 'a lad' dominated time though, wasn't it? Did they have that many good songs? I can only think of this one off the top of my head.. I'd happily be corrected about it, though.
comanchio1976 ahh they had a lot of good tunes check out sale of the century, nice guy eddie and delicious. I think people were well down with women getting involved with stuff in the britpop world. Very progressive time.
+Scruffy P OK it's been a while, but I'll check out the ones you mentioned, thanks. I don't think it was as progressive as you like to think, though - I've heard of the boorish drunken behaviour of some of the male musicians towards their female counterparts, that sounded far less than gentlemanly, let alone progressive. As was the case in the music business in general at the time. They might have had the haircuts of the 60's, but the ideals were only skin deep. Don't get me wrong, I had a blast at the time, and there were some great tunes...but it had a lot less substance to it than style, which bored .and disappointed me in the end.
I had the pleasure last Saturday at Shepherd's Bush. It was my first time seeing them after thinking I never would be able to. They did a cracking performance.
John had a bit of a cheek foridding Louise to play a glittery green SG and making her play a Telecaster when he's playing a Black Gibson Les Paul in this.
This takes me back to some great times and great days...just finishing training in the "mob" and meeting some fantastic people along the way....sighs :) this is backdrop music to memorys and times past....i liked them then and still do...and yes Dale's in the video!!
She's shopping for kicks, got the weekend to get through She's keeping the rain off her Saturday hairdo She stops for a coffee, she smiles at the waiter He winks at his friends and they laugh at her later He's cleaning his car on his pebbledash driveway New chamois leather he got for his birthday He reads Harold Robbins, flirts with his neighbour Ignores her at breakfast, he's reading the paper He dreams of a roller, she dreams of a fast getaway. He's not a prince, he's not a king She's not a work of art or anything It makes no sense another year What kind of A to Z would get you here He's nothing special, she's not too smart He studies fashion, she studies art I think I told you right from the start You were just my inbetween Just my inbetween You're such an inbetweener. She went to the dream boys, got tickets from Keith Prowse She cancelled his lifelong subscription to Penthouse She goes round the corner she sees Harry Conway She says to herself that she'll leave him on Monday He dreams of a roller she dreams of a fast getaway. He's not a prince, he's not a king She's not a work of art or anything It makes no sense another year What kind of A to Z would get you here He's nothing special, she's not too smart He studies fashion, she studies art I think I told you right from the start You were just my inbetween Just my inbetween You're such an inbetweener. Now it's much too late to ask me where I've been You were just my inbetweener
Love Louise. Remember having a big crush on her in 1st year Uni. She's sill fit now as well, did she ever reveal her real age ;) Brilliant music as well, S.M.A.R.T was a very underrated album
What I have to say is "Don't worry Honey, it's just a punk song " ❤ I hope you are all well, my fave album is Smart 😊 thanks. (and yeah, gorgeous Louise , lovely eyes, I hope you are well x ) And Dale.. Rest In Pieces x
Louise's blinking find so cute.Just wanna hug her.xx
I was just about to post about the blinking but you'd got there first. Never noticed it before.
I think she had an eye complaint and the lights were affecting her eyes?!
I just wanted to kiss her.
Wanted to do lots of things but hugging wasn't one of them 😛
RIP Dale Winton. Legend!!
0:20
Great video, and superb song. Here in 2024 ... RIP Dale ✌️
To say "Those were the days" is an understatement.
This is an absolute classic indie tune!Met Louise 1st time saw them when I was a teenager.Saw them few years ago in London.Blew me away.I forgot how amazing they are and love them more as I'm older.Louise is still stunning!
I'm a totally straight mum of 3 and nana to 8 grandchildren but am quite happy to admit I've had a girl crush on Louise since 1996!!!
I am a bit, jealous and I have never seen them live. Maybe one day soon!

couldnt love this enough - British music is there best!
Top comment, thank you very much.
you're welcome
I like you, you seem to know what your talking about and say it well. All the best in these trying times
Mid 90s ran the show, we showed the world how to be cool as fck
I burned through so many Walkman batteries listening to my Sleeper albums on tape... I still remember those morning walks in Sheffield, down the hill to Uni.
My uncle plays in this band
Whoop
I really miss the Britpop trope of taking place in supermarkets; I keep remembering things I need to pick up when I watch them. Not sure that was their intention, but still. Must pick up some Brasso
I bet you they wanted some daily live utility in their videos. XD
Laundrettes too
Or Don't Falter by Mint Royale
You need Pringles too
Or scampi fries
I am so grateful to my Mum, best Mum I could ever have.
We just got back from the pub after a few pints, and we were talking about all kinds of music.

Ok boomer/son of a boomer
That’s awesome! I’m also young and I love this genre of music too! Specially The Verve!
My kids are the same, they love my music and have grown up 80’s and 90’s and that had influenced their musical tastes.
Have you tried listening to Suede?
Britpop it seems so long ago now. Great times 🙂
Doesn't seem that long
Everything seems so long ago these days!
@@funkster2050 Too true 👍
Hate the word Britpop, I did at the time, it's not pop, it's indie, Britpop is a media thing.
My uncle is the one with the green jacket on
My wife blinked 200 times during this video, I blinked 500 times but louise did it 1000 times, I'm such an inbetweener.
The chorus with its kickback guitar and drums is so catchy and is pure genius and I still love this song 25yrs later.
She is gorgeous and she can sing!
Great song from the 90s
Louise always wrote great lyrics, sang in her own style and the band made catchy and damn fine music
She's now a very accomplished writer
Fabulous and those eyes are magical
I don't think she was pretentious. Really pretty girl had some great songs and now she's an author. Had a great life from what I can see nice one Louise.
I only found out recently she`s now an author ,what sort of books has she written as i`m a keen reader.
@@unclemort1960 kids books I'm sure! Massive crush on her back in the day, v hot
lala lulu --- Read her autobiography, she wasn't really a mad pop star. She held it all together, quite normal really.
@@unclemort1960 the big blind is good
@@Liofa73 Who claimed she was a "mad pop star" anyway?
Not watched this in years. I'd forgotten how fit Louise was. Absolutely gorgeous.
I'd never even noticed what great legs she had. Guess I was just listening to the music and not really paying attention to the video.
That is just pure CLASS !!!……….what a brilliant version of a great song !!!!
love the "fast slow" of this song.. Louise was a great songstress , and a bit of a crush back in the day
Great song. Greatest decade❤️And God bless Dale Winton
Fantastic song, fantastic band plus Dale Winton. RIP fella.
Dale winton shaking the pringles...love it
A great single from a great band!
Enchanting, sultry, spellbinding, gorgeous, radiant, effervescent - these are just some of the words I would use to describe... Dale Winton
Good one
They had us in the first half
😂 😂 😂
Defo ‘radiant’ 🌞 😂
I miss this time period in music so much. Every week there was another band, more CD singles to buy and videos to watch for. I loved Sleeper. There was something real sounding in their lyrics and music. Good memories!
It was a great period of music for sure. The Britpop mixed with the acid house UK techno just a overall great time for music.
dale winton! the man the myth the legend!!
The legend that is Dale Winton - Ohhhhh, how we miss him
This has always been such a great song. How on earth did it not even make at least the top 5?
Because there was a lot of other great music around back then.

I'm gonna chime in and say that I was a lazy teen who may have used limewire or whatever...so ..maybe that? :D

@@yutehube4468 Yeah. It's astonishing how spoiled I was back in the 90s. I had the luxury of calling Hanson "crap" lol
Brings back the best memories, the 90s best era ever and by the the way Louise a true babe.
Banging tune RIP Dale... Go wild in the aisles
I LOVED her. Had my hair like hers in the 90s.
Watched this vid for the 1st time in a student bar way back in early 90's, they had no money, starting out and just related to it so much. Classic band and still kicking the gear in 2021. Happy memories.
R.I.P. Dale Winton. You will be sorely missed from our screens
People don't know now, but she was The Queen in her days.
Long live the queen 👑❤️
Poor Dale, its good to see him immortalised x Great song too xx
I am guessing he is featured due to supermarket sweep lol
Must be a HD Version soon Please !!
R.I.P MR DALE WINTON. YOU WILL BE MISSED BY SO MANY.
She's such a great singer been s fan since the 90s
The leader singer is amazing ❤
So 90s... I love it
A good album that nobody knows about.
the cutest thing ever
Great song and video
the b-sides to this single are great!
Kool Song
The film I'm pretending to make in my mind opens with this track.
I miss the 90's. Launderettes in supermarkets and bands playing in the veg isle.
londontrada typical Saturday down Camden’s Sainsbury’s - those were the days.
First time I saw Sleeper was at Sound City Leeds 1995, they were brilliant live!
leakycheese f
I was there too!!
She was great on the Danny Baker show. She picked my favourite 90s album for the capsule too. Garbage by Garbage. She also spoke the most sense of all of them.
Roland Baldwin Garbage, I've always wanted to see them.
She always seemed so down to earth in interviews always loved her singing back in the 90s
Happier times
Cracking tune, loved it then, back after 20 years
Her hair 😍
And the rest of her ❤
And you got to slap your hands on stinging last note.
Delicious.
👌
Great song !!
Just as good as blur if you ask me. Don't know how they missed that legendary status they were amazing.
It was 'a lad' dominated time though, wasn't it? Did they have that many good songs? I can only think of this one off the top of my head.. I'd happily be corrected about it, though.

comanchio1976 ahh well you were there. I can only makes assumptions really. It was definitely a good time to be in a girl band though.
Hell yeah! loved them
forgot how great this song is
Such a good song, really!!!
Back on tour! Saw them earlier in year and god they are as great as ever
I had the pleasure last Saturday at Shepherd's Bush. It was my first time seeing them after thinking I never would be able to. They did a cracking performance.
Emperix totally nailed it. In fact i saw them in the 90s and they are a bit better now!
In the next aisle the Mavericks were dancing the night away
+Naho Saenoki And Perry Farrell turned up as well with an ugly pregnant woman.
Haha very good :)
And Jarvis Cocker walking with a girl from Greece
Smashing pumpkins are bowling at the back.
thom yorke sitting in a trolly on the next isle after
Personally this tune evoked a creative moment. So many happy memories.
Just a trip down to Tescos for Louise!!
Wow a widescreen music video clip in 1995, innovative!
Great video great song
It's 2022 and I'm only hearing this song now? I would have loved this back in the 90s!
That last 30 seconds is about as good an ending to elevate a song to god tier as you’ll ever hear
Blinking Wonderful Video❤
She can write a f*****g tune, that’s for sure 👍
She has massive talent. Wish she hadn't stopped for so many years.
What a tune
a digest of British life in a song!
As if it took me like 6 views of this to realise that was the legend that is DALE FUCKING WINTON
Matthew Law ITS DALE FUCKING WINTON
Matthew Law Ahahaha think of the fun you could having on Supermarket Sleep(er)
OMG How could you now recognise the God DW? :)
I like her.
Great video made all the better with the inclusion of Dale Winton who has sadly passed away today, R.I.P Dale giving this a view in your memory.
Brit-Pop, what a time to live through
Awesome track. Rawnsleys Bar, Croydon 1995. Jumping behind the bar to change the CD.
Mark Crorigan, Apollo House, Croydon.
A classic x
Hey Sleeper, you need to release your videos on DVD. Britpop, never to be recreated.
Is that Mr. Blobby cereal in the background at 2:32?
John had a bit of a cheek foridding Louise to play a glittery green SG and making her play a Telecaster when he's playing a Black Gibson Les Paul in this.
The lovely Louise :)
Watching this reminded me how much of a crush I had on her back then. Great music too of course...
saw them live yesterday!
Whereabouts? I saw them at the Phoenix in Exeter last Friday!
@@simonpearn479 in Bournemouth, the old fire station!!
This takes me back to some great times and great days...just finishing training in the "mob" and meeting some fantastic people along the way....sighs :) this is backdrop music to memorys and times past....i liked them then and still do...and yes Dale's in the video!!
Great catches by Dale there!
She's shopping for kicks, got the weekend to get through
She's keeping the rain off her Saturday hairdo
She stops for a coffee, she smiles at the waiter
He winks at his friends and they laugh at her later
He's cleaning his car on his pebbledash driveway
New chamois leather he got for his birthday
He reads Harold Robbins, flirts with his neighbour
Ignores her at breakfast, he's reading the paper
He dreams of a roller, she dreams of a fast getaway.
He's not a prince, he's not a king
She's not a work of art or anything
It makes no sense another year
What kind of A to Z would get you here
He's nothing special, she's not too smart
He studies fashion, she studies art
I think I told you right from the start
You were just my inbetween
Just my inbetween
You're such an inbetweener.
She went to the dream boys, got tickets from Keith Prowse
She cancelled his lifelong subscription to Penthouse
She goes round the corner she sees Harry Conway
She says to herself that she'll leave him on Monday
He dreams of a roller she dreams of a fast getaway.
He's not a prince, he's not a king
She's not a work of art or anything
It makes no sense another year
What kind of A to Z would get you here
He's nothing special, she's not too smart
He studies fashion, she studies art
I think I told you right from the start
You were just my inbetween
Just my inbetween
You're such an inbetweener.
Now it's much too late to ask me where I've been
You were just my inbetweener
I think I told you right from the start, I love the truth. True stories x
Louise Wener 😍
Louise Wener is lovely
The best
31 years, my god where has the time gone? Still sounds great though!
Omg this is so awesome
sleeper siiiii vengan a Mexico
RIP Dale. Still in love with Louise.
Britpop was brilliant for the way that birds started to pick the guitar up!
i like her moves.
Love Louise. Remember having a big crush on her in 1st year Uni. She's sill fit now as well, did she ever reveal her real age ;) Brilliant music as well, S.M.A.R.T was a very underrated album
Louise is so adorable! ^_^
My teenage crush 😍
What I have to say is "Don't worry Honey, it's just a punk song "
❤
I hope you are all well, my fave album is Smart 😊 thanks.
(and yeah, gorgeous Louise , lovely eyes, I hope you are well x )
And Dale.. Rest In Pieces x
Dale Winton - Sharp dresser, great catcher and a mean pringle player.
videos so 90’s lol remember them being on TFI friday 😎
That will flicking doo.
Happy Holidays everyone
0:12 and 0:17... Wow! She plays the same chord in different positions, isn't that great?
