    I did a tour with him and he produced a single of ours. Really top man, never acted the pop-star, never disrespected people. Great pianist, singer, and songwriter. Grossly undervalued.

      i think the word 'underrated' is one of the most misused words in the comment section on youtube, specially for musicians. Anything is apparently underrated. I don't think it is underrated at all, you're just trying to say: I like it more than others do! Yeah, that's fine. Not anyone can like anything with the same amount of enthusiasm.

    As a young, anxious, lad. Full of hope, fear, and confusion. This song truly spoke to me. So simple and yet so complex. Everytime I hear it, it's the 70's. No phone, no fridge, no clue. Born in 1965, 56 as I write and when I play this, my mum and dad are still alive, I'm still a virgin, and still living in thurmaston. I like to think that when you die, you can revisit any time period you want. If I could, I'd go back and wallow in my past. Funny how some songs truly strike a chord. This song means so much to me and the lad I was.

    • @RtB68

      Lifetime virginity is actually a badge of honour. Save it for when you find a girl who is worth it - and if you go your whole life without finding her take heart in the fact that you waited. Don't you know that it's different for girls?

      100% with you, I know what you mean. Early '80, I'm 12, sat with my transistor radio sitting by the bedroom air vent to keep warm and mum and dad are back with me - sat downstairs in front of the TV. This tune and Steppin' Out are so perfect.

    Brilliant. Lyrics that are witty & wise and painfully, painfully true. How could anyone that age be so mature! Underneath the compulsory 'angsty' look of the post-punk era, this smart man sneaked in thoughtful, sensitive lyrics. The musicality is not showing off, it's just THERE! That sweet melodious backing lets us know how heartfelt & aching the sentiment really is. There is a 2019 (i think!) TOTP3 version of this on RUclips with just the man himself at a piano & playing this live. I was bracing myself for the worst but I was wrong. He still sings it brilliantly and backs it beautifully on the keyboard, all by himself. Have a look! What a talent! :)

      Totally agree. Saw them support the "Stones" at Roundhay park Leeds in 1982. Also supporting were The J Geils Band, and George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Joe Jackson was the best of the three support acts.

    Jackson was a phenomal musician & song writer - & I would support Geoffrey Jonathan Wilson's assertion that this man was unashamedly under-rated. Over the years, he's scored some of the finest contemporary music, still extant.....give me this guy over many of his modern counterparts :)

    Je suis d'accord avec la plupart des commentaires qui disent que Joe Jackson n'a pas eu le succès total qu'il méritait, je m'en rends compte aujourd'hui c'est un chanteur de génie, une très belle voix, un musicien hors pair, des mélodies à tomber par terre et des paroles inspirées...Un mec formidable en somme...et ses cheveux blancs lui vont très bien, même si le temps qui passe nous rend nostalgiques....

    "What the hell is wrong with you tonight?" Having forgotten the video since 1979/80, I was slightly wincing, half expecting a cheesy, dated offering. That opening line just blows that out of the water! Sublime song, genius economy, as perfect as I remembered it as a floundering teen! Encouraged me to embrace and nurture what little "edge" I may have had back then! Thanks Joe.

    I bought the 7" (5 singles) format of this album when it came out and still play it with pleasure. Saw him live a few times 1979-81 when he had to deal with pathetic (as he rightly called it) post-punk gobbing onstage. But he got on with it and delivered, every time. Great times, thanks Joe!

    Just getting into Joe Jackson and his band..never took much notice of him through the years...love them all now. Talented af and their tunes are pure class.
