↓ LYRICS ↓
Son, I'm 30
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty
And I don't have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see, yeah
I see it so, I take it greedy
And all the bad piss ugly things I feed me
I never help or give to the needy
Come on and see me
Yippee-ippee-ay-ay-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify some brother today
And I don't dig what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice
I said, "Dad, you're a shabby
You run around and groove like a baggy
You're only here just out of habit
Oh, it's mine, you might as well have it
You take ten feet back and then stab it
Spray it on and tag it"
So sack on me
I can't stand the needy
Get around here when you're put off your feeding
Yippee-ippee-ay-ay-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify somebody today
And I don't dig what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice
So sack all the needy
I can't stand to leave it
You come around here, and you puff up your feeding
Yippee-ippee-ay-ay-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify somebody today
And I don't dig what you gotta say
So go on and say it
Yippee-ippee-ay-ay-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify some brother today
And I don't hear what you gotta say
So come on and say it
And come on and tell me twice

Shaun on vocals, Paul on bass, Mark on guitar, Gary on drums, Knobhead on keyboards and Bez on E.
lol
Funniest comment I’ve seen all week
Sold a ford fiesta xr2 to Paul the keyboard player in 1999 it was grey and knackered lol
lol
Was he a hype man?
That winding, grinding, guitar riff is genius. Like an Escher staircase bringing you to the top, only to dump you back at the bottom and off we go again. Brilliance.
Yes!
Mark Day guitar genius full stop
Dat house music influence
Yep. He's hugely underrated and its criminal.
John Squire flashier playing slole the limelight st the time., but on Kinky Afro Mark Day playing is incredible. It's an absolute timeless classic.
Spot on.
One of the most iconic bass lines of the 90's. Bon voyage, Paul
RIP Paul Ryder. His bass put the groove into the Happy Mondays signature sound. Between him and Mark Day on guitar they were technically very capable.
This was one of the first basslines I loved to learn and play. Great bassist and musician indeed.
Love from a 50 year old feeling like a teen again, RIP xx
It blows my mind that his brother outlived him.
Why?
@@michaelcole2845 he liked the Heroin just as much as Shawn.
R.I.P - tragic to hear he died hours before a gig, but glad to hear he was still doing what he loved at 58!
Sad times. An understated Bass player, less is more. Driving force of the actual beautiful music. ❤
Awe, 😳.. So talented. Bless & thanks for the Riddim'S 🎸 🔥
"So what do you do?"
"I dance"
"So you're a dancer?"
"No, I drop a few and dance"
😂😂
Fit birds, and band of pillheads and an absolute banger of a tune. What more could a man want?
Football to come home again x
Ive done more CLASS As than them put together easy
an AM parked outside
@@garysinglewood4434 great, well done. Really proud of you.
J cups?
The fact that Bez just danced all his life as a career with his mates still makes me happy. Legend 😀
Shout out from Scotland 🏴

Greatest opening line to a song ever
My choice - "Is she really going out with him?" New Rose, The Damned.
I can't help but feel this is peak humanity.
Totally, downhill from here
Huge respect and big ups to Paul Ryder. You will be well remembered
I always get: 'recently divorced geography teacher goes on a bender and crashes a super model convention' vibes from this video. Not that I can talk, I love a bit of corduroy and Clarks Originals.
Ralph Lauren jacket.
An epic song and an amazing moment in time, so glad I was there in Manchester and rubbed shoulders with them at the Hacienda. Later in 96-98 , I met Shaun and Paul on a number of occasion when they came to visit Astrella Leitch on Palatine Road, we lived upstairs in the flat above hers. The music is timeless and still brilliant.
That unique guitar sound gets me every ...time
The world would be a better place if we all just chilled out and danced like Bez. The happiest music ever.
exactly. bez was a key factor to the success of the mondays. the stone roses did the same by having cressa dance behind the amps and nirvana had some guy named tony dance for them onstage whenever they played britain. that made nirvana a big deal in the u.k.
R..I.P Paul Ryder. Happy Mondays was one of my favourite bands during my teenage years
Same I always had my own pills trills and bellyaches
Always heard about the happy Mondays but never listened to their music until yesterday… it’s safe to say I’m now a fan these lads were classs
😊😅 monday 1991
I've said it b4 but I swear kinky afro has the best opening line in music ever.
You won't ever hear a better one either ! Haha
Love that opening line, have always said that mate
My son doesn’t agree
His mum agrees !
@@monty1864 that being on a band makes you spooky?
Oh well, at least he's got an opinion.
This is just a great song from a great uk band. Iconic 90s brit rock
The bass line is ridiculous.its got to be one of the catchiest of all time.brilliant track
i only found out recently this a cover oif a blues tune, who would have knew??
its just a chromatic variation of two notes. you need to listen to more music.
@JamesCurtisOKC And just what has its complexity,or lack of as you say got to do with my original comment?😂I'll save you from further embarassment.the answer is nothing haha
@@paul39a you mean Step On... right?
@@paul39aLady Marmalade - Patti LaBelle
Rumour has it there was blood found in Bez's Ecstasy system.
DJosephWells lovely sense of humour.
😂
Lol lol lol
😂😂😂
My ass
I'm going to dance like Bez in front of my boss when I quit my job
Hell yeah 👍
How did that turn out?😝
Done it yet? If not can I request you shout "You're Twisting My Melon Maaaaan" at him or her while you do?
Have you done it yet
My hero.
Rest in power paul aka 🐎 horse.....this song and that entire pills and thrills and bellyaches album are masterpieces...
This song hasn’t aged at all
Who else still loves the Mondays? I was 16/17 in '90 and loved 'em!!
The perfect Madchester formula: Can't Sing + Won't Sing = Genius.
I love these guys.
but he CAN and does sing...?
Kkkkkk
Verdade
never fails to surprise me the negative things people have to contribute rather than stay silent when they've nothing sensible or relative to say... This is not only a true classic for MUSICAL and Video achievement, but a symbol if friendship and solidarity amongst ypung mucisians..
England this is something to be truly proud of for home grown talent for all involved in this video and song and a celebration for what people can do when they join. all time classic
I left school in 89 and got and apprenticeship.. with mybwages bought a Song BIG Stereo it had an alarm where it would turn on and play the CD that was inside it.
I woke up to the first 8bars of this song for months... Great times, few £ in pocket, clubs, beers, dancing and girls.
Great sweet memories (as the wife snores beside me now !!!)
The guitar sound is a thing of beauty
I was 15 when this came out, I never forget what I love. Cheers from Uruguay!
Criminally underrated band and art that they produced. Only as i've got older and taken more in have I started to appreciate what they did. Coming from that background it always just seemed kind of normal, like your mates were making some cool tunes.
One of the most criminally underrated bands ever with one of the greatest lyrically genius’s this country ever produced
No more, no less.
I hate being 50, I have to look back and think that we were going somewhere.
The 90s were ace and I miss them like hell. The politics were good, the drugs were good; wtf happened?
Naahhh party on baby, get on it.
dont worry bro -we're still here.
Just turned 51 it gets no better mate.
@@jmc0075 ruclips.net/video/2CQLAhNlbfQ/видео.html
I cant get over how well shot this is. not just the cinematography but everything is clicking.
.. except the zipper.
RIP Paul...one of the best bassist ever.
This is truly one of the most stunningly amazing songs of all time. With an iconic video to match. Well done boys.
well said
Stunningly boring
@@billyshears6622 ....but enough about you lol
They definitely nailed the hot babe thing in the video!!!
@@tbssic1 i love the one babe who is, like, a little TOO excited to be there
My favorite funky Friday song. R.I.P. Paul. You will be missed.💙
RIP Paul Ryder. Looks so young in this.
Too man
This is a brilliant tune and hasn't aged at all.
Awsome 90's.
Totally agree. Hasn't aged one but, in 33 years. Still twisting my melon man.
Take that Robert Palmer.
Really?🤪
I dig your sentiment..but, Robert Palmer was a PIMP.
Annnnd yet. he had no Bez..Gods gift to teenagers.
Take that Robbie Williams
And the others
Looks like the IT Department hired a few girlfriends.
the girls asked for virus protection beforehand
Gold
They must have filmed this in the UN building in NYC
just saw this, EPIC comment
You made my day... :D
I wish that guitar solo could go on forever
Uh-Huh.✌. So damn hypnotising & adorable.😍
Watching Bez dance brings a smile to my face. Individually. Nice. Care free dancing.
Models - “Ah......we were led to believe this would be a Robert Palmer video shoot?!"
I assume Sean said something like 'Er...I wanna few..er..top class birds in me video and all that y'know, man'.
jajajaja epic
yeah n' make sure there proper fit
I'm sure "Shaun" Said, "I want this suit some Kentucky Fried Chicken and the rest is up to you"
And after seeing the girls. "One of them has to match Bez's maracas"
just the best trip they have ever had!
Early 90s...when we had the whole world infront of us....happy days!...
30 years..gone in the blink of an eye!
Missing those days so much!😭
Who would have thought we would get f***ed over, eh?!!
I was born 1994 you guys are the lucky ones
Happy days?? Happy Mondays. ;)
RIP Paul Ryder...Gone way too soon ❤️
Bez was integral to The Monday's sound.
vordman 🤣😂
what did he do?
+05PtVxUI what didn't he do?
He is like the conductor he kept the rhythm going with his movement. 😂😂😂
Yeah, without Bez they would just sound flat
Q.E.P.D Paul Ryder. Siempre en nuestros corazones ♥
RIP Paul thank you for the music
Shaun rocking the geography teacher look
Drove a Volvo estate to the gig
Chemistry more like. Practicals would have been good.
Marco Polo clothes I think
😂😂😂
"Son I'm 30, I only went with your mother coz she's dirty" fucking brilliant lyric!
Good Good Double Good.
Shaun Ryder's eldest son asked his dad how he met his mum. Shaun Ryder said that he told his eldest son I'm thirty I only went with your mother cause I'm flirty. he was struggling to come up with the opening line of that song. he then got a pen and paper and wrote it. went to recording studio and recorded the song with the band.
Killer intro…love it
Who of us can't say that's how we met the mother of our children? Who out there owes their existence to their mum being a right dirty bitch? Or at least a bit of a slag.
Its actually deep. If you have lived a life less normal that is..
This song still has one of the best bass hooks ever!
What a fantastic tune this was back in the day and still is in 2024.. Well done The happy Mondays 🎉
1990 what a year bro
Love the Happy Mondays.. their uplifting song's are simply great
Actually a very, very, melancholic song. The Happy Mondays, like The Farm, were poets really. Kinky Afro was kind of the North Western 'The Doors' for the 90s. I get emotional thinking about the 90s. It truly WAS a superb reimagining of the 1960s in to a more urban template.
Picnicl best times ever, we even had a euro96 in england!!!
Totally agree, the late 80s/early 90s were up there with the 60s. The Roses/Mondays, house explosion and golden age of hip hop. That's some classic shit and lit the decade up with classic records from those that followed.
I just barfed a little reading this.
I just barfed at you using the word barfed, what are you? 10? Knobcheese
You have no right to talk about language, miloandjoesdad01. In fact, you have no right to be anyone's dad. Is that what you do as a dad? Spend your time on RUclips looking at comments in Happy Mondays' videos. You may be their father, but you'll never be their dad. I bet their mom has custody.
I love Bez and his dance moves! As a kid(5 years old 1990) I use to mimic his expressions and copy the moves. Safe to say, I horrified the grown ups hehe!
And the best opening lyrics award goes to.......
I was blessed to have been in my teens with this era which I'm proud and grateful of. I think in was in 2001 went to see OASIS at Murray field rugby stadium. Everybody was pumped up in a good way and word was The Doves were coming on 1st...The place erupted when here were The full Happy Mondays on the stage belting out this song. Afterwards Bez was walking/dancing around with the crowd, decent guy doing that. It was such a fantastic surprise and made that concert 1 of the best I've been to.
This great early 90's music gives me mixed feelings ... enjoying the music so much, but the nostalgia for those great old days makes me kinda sad and missing that time sooo much!! Can't even tell...😥
Still one of the best albums l have ever heard in my entire life PT&B and l am 68, God bless you Paul you wil be remembered 😞
Music for a generation, what an anthem.
Love you guys forever..
Wow, the reverb on Rowetta's backing lyrics - amazing depth, and a classic Martin Hannett touch.
What an extraordinary talent bez was-a huge contribution to music and he always was so happy
Pure gold, love happy Monday’s. wish they played music like this now!!
The DMA's copy it
This will be my "Happy Monday" song forever.
Who's have thought in the 80's and 90's we'd still have Shaun & Bez in 2021 .... 😁👍🏼
Top band!
Shaun's one of the most charismatic frontmen.
Posh birds with atittude at a northern working class do!!! Shauns robert palmer moment.
They look posh, could be normal girls, I reckon women had good taste back then, or their dresser did.
LOL. I'm from Manchester mate. Trust me when I say where I come from, those girls are posh compared to the pram face mingers we got around here!
except Shaun wasn't addicted to love
@@jammasterj13 then you got rowetta
I'm posh and northern...
Fell in love with my wife to this music. Seriously, now: a blond, beautiful theater major blasting Madchester tracks at a small-town Midwest USA university? Hook, line and sinker, man...
Pills thrills n bellyaches was one of my favourite albums when I was a teenager
One of the most bangin tunes ever, still get the shivers, love the video too, great memories.
by far the greatest HAPPY MONDAYS I AM DANCING
Rest in peace . Happy Mondays music will always be a happy time of my life
Love Happy Mondays 💙 R.I.P Paul Ryder man
Quite likely the greatest opening line of a song in music history.
You nicked that off Janice Long (but you are right!)
Son, I'm 30
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty
@@pintpot
Never heard Janice Long say that but I came to that conclusion on my own also.
Bl**dy right.👍
Ryder rocking that dodgy substitute teacher look
How many bloody years later....Shaun's on about "helping the needy" and pointing at Bez 😂😂😂😂..... that's pals for life there 🤣🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️
Rowetta has an incredible voice x
❤
if ever im feeling down. i just wack this on. always make me smile, Bez, A Total legend
The Bez dance should be mandatory every morning from 8-9 am. Get fit, out on your doorstep, giving it beans...
Best idea I've heard in weeks.
HaHa/Amen.👍
R.I.P Paul Ryder you legend
Best bit of happy Mondays ,Rowetta,🥰
Love how Bez is still in touch with Shaun. Faithful.
Yes on gogglebox pair of dickheads no longer legends.
Great song! NEVER get tired of it. Always as nice as every time I hear it
Still think this album is better than Screamadelica as an electronic-meets-rock fusion. This album is the sound of fun. It is driving on a trip-of-your-life adventure on the open road with young friends. It is getting spruced up to go to a rave and be a part of the nightlife. It is sex. It is drugs and only the best of both those things. No bad vibes in sight.
One of my life's goals, dancing like Bez.
That should be your only goal my friend 👍
I edited this video which was directed by the Bailey Bros who also did world in motion. It was shot on film at Granada in Manchester and we had no off-line as the director said the band wouldn't last the night! Massive Lala with Sean and Bez in the edit suite all sorts of fun and games and actually looking back it's not that bad really. All nighter loads of booze and other and I'm happy with it.
dave pollard thanks for the insight buddy..Have always loved this video and wanted to know more about how it was made. It really captures the off beat, slightly odd, something not quite rightness of the mondays to fsntastic effect.
@dave pollard where were the dancers from, gorgeous!
yeap, they got a Roxy Brian Ferry video style
Sean looks a bit stoned!
I spent 5 days editing this video on low band umatic with Keith Jobling ( the director) in my front room on Eva street in Rusholme . Phil shotton the other Bailey brother was not involved in this video . Tony Wilson was there to sign off the offline . Your mind must be playing tricks on you Dave.
Has there ever been as much talent in one video?? The Band were pretty good too 😉
That baseline 👌underrated/understated.RIP👏🏻
Rip Ryder ♡ thanx for the madchester magic ♡
Absolute classic track released 30 year's ago today
The Happy Mondays playin', Bez is dancin'. Shaun had a voice that defined the sound, but his drug habit killed it
Captain bringdown...are you bringing the buzzkillers or are you coming alone?
Would he have had the same impact without a drug habit
That's a dam fine jacket Shaun is wearing, probably the coolest man in the world
man, just read the sad news, RIP Paul Ryder. You were a fucking groovy bass player and the Mondays are legendary.
This song will never get old.
Bez, only took 15 pills instead of his usual 30 when making this video.
🤣🤣
@@danw1374 vrdd
This is the perfect example of how Shaun being a teacher, and high as fuck can manage to teach a lesson
That beautiful lady's voice is amazing 😍
Rowetta is an icon
Bez should be a FitBit Ambassador
