Lyrics as pertinent today as they were 30+ years ago. The bassline and brass on this man, next to the house piano - fantastic track. Hugely underrated.
Damn. What a collection of influences on display here. Eurobeat, Acid Jazz, Madchester, Classic Funk & Soul . I think I find it more interesting than enjoyable but I'm really glad I came across it.
@@ThePeterCorne Not sure what a pro-Thatcher xenophobe nationalist is doing listening to a leftist protest song by the Blow Monkeys on RUclips... **LMAO** 😹
Fab memories - fab song Madchestaaaaa!!!! Th Haçienda, Ikon 🪩 😂 Great vocals Great lyrics Great pianist Great saxophonist Great guitars It’s got it all I am biased love the BM’s People forget about this dance track - why???? 🤪
Brilliant song in 89. We were on a conference in La Manga September that year. A night club called "Wanaties" i think? DJ played this twice, everyone would be on the dance floor, I remember buying the greatest hits in August the same year. St Albans Our Price. Where did 32 years go????
I hadn't heard it for sooo long; in fact I'd forgotten who the artiste was, but then it was played on the fab Forgotten 80s radio programme last Sunday. The song reminds me of when I first read my fave adult novel, the Morning Tide by Audrey Howard.
READ THIS WHOLE THING: PRAY FOR ISRAEL. PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE IN HIS HOUSEHOLD? THEN PLEASE REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS TODAY AND SURRENDER YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. NOBODY IS OUT OF THE CANDIDACY FOR BECOMING A CHRISTIAN.

I'm sure nobody played this more than me when it came out. Still love it in 2021❤️🙏🏿👏🏿🤗
What a talent, great songwriter, surrounded by excellent musicians, brilliant song, great memories, love it.
Classic Blow Monkeys......Italian House Piano and great vocals from Sylvia Tella.......great memories

Add to that UK rave.
"More interesting than enjoyable" is such a good way of putting how I feel about this song, too.
I was 19, this piano and (break)beat, perfect voices, great musicians and lyrics! Thank you!
A song that is nearly 30 years old yet the lyrics sum up the current political climate..
Chris Wilde No choice as I think that voting is just a token gesture:-(
The lyrics will never go out of style, they will ALWAYS be relevant, I think!!
When chart music was still good and had variety unlike today's samey-samey auto-tuned garbage.
So glad I was a teenager then and not now.
Great collaboration. Sylvia Tella is more known for Lovers rock(Reggae Music)
Music, lyrics, pure gold
Wow. Totally forgot about this song. Check out Sylvia Tella!! I still have a Lovers Rock album of hers
Just found my old 12" of this in my mums loft....just need a record player now!
Still got mine too, and luckily enough I have a turntable too🤗👏🏿🙏🏿❤️
One of the greatest songs of the 80's.
Video shot on location at Athelhampton, Dorset UK. I'm the resident owner - some of me is still in the 1980s! Great day making this. Patrick Cooke
Thanks for sharing. Love this track.
👍✨
Dr robert was quality.
Love the great Italian House piano loop. This track never gets old!
All English here, no Italian needed

So underrated.
What a classic, early-90s house track
Fab memories - fab song
Madchestaaaaa!!!!
Th Haçienda, Ikon 🪩 😂
Great vocals
Great lyrics
Great pianist
Great saxophonist
Great guitars
It’s got it all I am biased love the BM’s
People forget about this dance track - why???? 🤪
When pop music was good.
Late 88 and 89 was an interesting transition point in pop music. We said bye to 80s type pop and hello to 90s styled pop
great protest song with still elvant lyrics
From the days when you could still get a chart hit with a protest song.
great dance track too - not often a song gets into your psyche AND your hips..:D
What a great tune, remember this first time around, an apt description of Thatcher. Still relevant today.
394pjo The legacy carries on:-(
Thatcher was a great choice that we made
@@ThePeterCorne Yeah, like hell!!! Bwahaha.
Dr Robert excelent
The doctors lyrics for them times do posses substance, no one comes close to the gals power vocals 👌x
Cracking tune and Band !
Brilliant lyrics!!!!

It reminds me of when my favourite programme was The Young Ones, and my fave book was The Morning Tide by Audrey Howard.

So relevant in 2016 Tory UK.

Great song
Que buenísima canción y que gran video. Llevaba mucho tiempo sin verlo y he pasado un gran rato. De lo mejor de Blow Monkeys.
