There was definitely a summer of love in 96, brit pop was massive and everyone, literally EVERYONE was singing. There was music everywhere, class music, it was pretty fucking special!! I hope I get to experience it at least one more time before my days are done!!
Lyrics You know i can't stay home With all this time to kill Oh god, i can't sit still, Tonight I've gotta make some noise I'm jumping up and down Gotta get out now Gotta shout out loud Oh, you make me feel alright It's like the tipper most topper most high Oh it's you you you Crack up your face and give us a smile Cos tonight i just wanna be wild I've got a million thoughts and when i've thought them all I'll find a million more, Tonight And when i'm feeling sad You know it's such a drag Then i get so mad But then i feel so bad Oh, you make me be alright It's like the tipper most topper most high Crack up your face and give us a smile Oh it's you, you, you Ready or not Here we go until we drop Don't be square Fix your face and grow your hair Oh, you make me be alright It's like the tipper most topper most high Cos tonight i just want to be wild Oh it's you, you, you Ready or not Here we go until we drop Don't be square Fix your face and grow your hair Here Now Anywhere
Such positive, joyful music! I had a cassette of "Cloudcuckooland" back in the day and mistakenly lent it, along with a number of other Alt Rock tapes. Needless to say, I never got the tapes back. ("Neither a borrower or lender be..,") I just ordered the "Like You Do" box set from Amazon, but couldn't wait to listen to it. Really, really makes me happy to listen to it again (finally).

Never been into Britpop/Britrock or Indie but this song is incredibly outstanding complete with such an epic supercharged optimism to it. Indeed a field day of some of the catchiest hooks and guitar melodies ever and ultimately a trip right back to the 90's.
the tippermost, toppermost....only ian broudie could come up with a lyric like this and make it sound so freaking cool. I actually prefer the rockier tone of the single version than the dizzy heights one - the single was released over a year before the album came out and in my view they over-cooked the production when they re-worked it for dizzy. Perfectly crafted for sure, but this version was fine, they should have kept it for the album! :-)
While still good - I WAY prefer the album version of the song. Not so keen on this version. The album one is pretty much the perfect pop song. Love it!

Wayne Catlin And then there was the bloody Macarena...
Euro 96!
And then came.... mass immigration
Tis is to makeyou alrigh
Duo know pure saturday from asia
Always thought they were the ELO of the 1990's. Class underrated band.
Have to agree
ELO toured a few years back, and what made it so nice was the fact Jeff lynne said,, he didn’t know he was so well liked!!! Genius
Proper feel good band
Good analogy, I like them too
Interesting comparison. Like it.
Lightning Seeds would have to be in Top Five bands when in comes to Brit Pop in the 1990's
Lyrics
You know i can't stay home
With all this time to kill
Oh god, i can't sit still,
Tonight
I've gotta make some noise
I'm jumping up and down
Gotta get out now
Gotta shout out loud
Oh, you make me feel alright
It's like the tipper most topper most high
Oh it's you you you
Crack up your face and give us a smile
Cos tonight i just wanna be wild
I've got a million thoughts
and when i've thought them all
I'll find a million more,
Tonight
And when i'm feeling sad
You know it's such a drag
Then i get so mad
But then i feel so bad
Oh, you make me be alright
It's like the tipper most topper most high
Crack up your face and give us a smile
Oh it's you, you, you
Ready or not
Here we go until we drop
Don't be square
Fix your face and grow your hair
Oh, you make me be alright
It's like the tipper most topper most high
Cos tonight i just want to be wild
Oh it's you, you, you
Ready or not
Here we go until we drop
Don't be square
Fix your face and grow your hair
Here
Now
Anywhere

Exactly this
Defo.
And that high energy ending would probably have contrasted better with the intro to Fishes On The Line.
A bit of the sound of the 90s!
Ready or not..here we go until we drop...
Seen these at the apollo in manchester when i worked ther superb gig.......
great outro
Bangin tune
I'm ready always to hear LSeeds! Super!
Cool Track
Not forget they had a part in helping craft the best footy song ever.
Mr Broudie,class,looking forward to a free concert at South Shields end of July.Paid to see him three great times
Awesome tune by Lightning Seeds from 1996 :)
25th anniversary 🎉 🍾 🥳
Ian Broudie just posted the colour version of this video on Facebook. Looks better in black and white!
Still. 2024 November
While still good - I WAY prefer the album version of the song. Not so keen on this version. The album one is pretty much the perfect pop song. Love it!
The album version is a bit clear, though not an extended version like this....but still loveable lolz
