I was 16. Along with Utah Saints you were *supposed* to hate the Prodigy because they were popular. And this track started off a boom in this kind of thing a few months later, viz Trip to Trumpton, Sesame's Treet etc If I recall hipsters of the period were into The Orb and FSOL instead.
The last decade in American history. I was in middle school when I first heard The Prodigy. Fat of The Land is still in my top ten greatest albums of all time. I hadn't heard this song until recently. I also recently discovered the Dirt Chamber Session. Highly recommend that to anyone who hasn't heard it and loves Prodigy.
Mississippi boy loves it. I was in the bay area in the early 90s and got to see them at a San Jose club. Nothing but smiles and good times. All I can say is THANK YOU.
1AM on a Monday morning is a great time to listen to Charly says, the neighbours agree too, they are banging on the door in delight for me to turn it up.. oh well, if I must !
Liam was accused of killing rave with the commercial release of this track........ i still stand firm and say it was the making of modern music! PRODIGY TIL I DIE!!!
+uk1988tb303 Although I wasn't in Walthamstow, East London, United Kingdom of Great Britain at the time this came out (back in 1991/1992), I imagined the bizziness of it all to be East London. Years later when I moved from Alberta, Canada to...you guessed it Walthamstow (initially Leytonstone), my vision of the bizziness of the Ravers was as I imagined it to be! Great track! Hardcore. Utah Saints - Something Good is another.
Was fortunate enough to be a late teenager in the rave generation and have loved the Prodigy since then. Now my son plays them loads and his friend's are getting into Prodigy aswell its just great to see. Thanks Prodigy, One love ❤
Ahh the good old days. Take your pick out of beak, gazza's or trips, then some good old Prodigy booming out of the Kenwood.... Till it went dark enough for us to feel safe to venture outside without fear of encountering anyone who wasn't in our state of mind, then it'd be endless hours of wandering through the woods!
this pic is how i remember watching the tune on tv was this tune being played in the uk underground rave scene around 1987 88 much before its official release on XL in 1992 i distinctivly remember when i was young in 1988 hearing this or humming this in my head particularly the servo sample and " ..... says" sample parts of the tune as i came back from the shops or school maybe some one in 1988 was playing it on an underground mix tape on thier car cassette radio round the local shops and thats how i could humminging it in my head in 1988
1:38 was what introduced my 12 year old self to the idea that maybe he needed to buy a proper stereo. I couldn't work out why the middle of the track went totally silent when listening on my crappy CD/Radio player :-) And now, using my laptop it sounds just as bad ;-)
I've checked that out and I actually found out I know both versions. There was Experience Expanded with remixes of the album tracks, , some of them pretty awesome. The "other" version of Charly was from that album, methinks :) EDIT: ah, there it is. This very bit got stuck in my head forever, it feels like being nailed to my brain :) ruclips.net/video/9FYjA12xOr0/видео.htmlm14s
Lol, cartoon scared me as kid, to then here it in a dance track while getting into the dance rave and drugs, damn didn't scare me anymore. Gave me faith in underground and youth movement but while still being a little scary.the cartoon that is.
Anyone here old enough to have been in their late teens when this came out and experienced the full might of the Prodigy Experience? Good times.
I was early 20;s and loved it :D
& I still am, it's nice to look back to where it all started for me .... time to get mad ....
:D

Liams production skills are bloody top notch. 27 years old and still fresh!
He pretty much done this in his bedroom...when there was more coming out of Essex than TOWIE
If you were able to dance to this track back in the late 80s early 90s you are a f... legend
If you only knew...
Only if you had a time machine. 1991 release.
AND STILL CAN
Drop some acid or ex and let the music move you, that's how we did it

Charley was my favorite public information animated animal. This was the cherry on top!
Charly. I’m 43m nd I still can’t get enough Charly. One of the greatest rave tracks.
This song and this whole album is just pure gold. I never get tired of listening to it, Liam’s percussion parts kick ass when they come in hard.
My brain is in another dimension. I've lost 25 years. I was raving it one minute....now it's 2016 and I'm a Granddad.
What happened ?

I was lucky enough to see Prodigy perform at least 3 times in the late 90s when they were at their peak. Awesome times!
2022, and still a banging tune !! 👌

@@bp6329Mong. Why you here.
Liam was accused of killing rave with the commercial release of this track........ i still stand firm and say it was the making of modern music! PRODIGY TIL I DIE!!!
it says more about me when my 6 year old twins have Charly and hyperspeed as their favourite songs 😂
Just gotta' hope its not a case of monkey see, monkey do.
That’s proper parenting 👌
Ha ha wow
Parenting 101... the apple never falls far from the tree
It means they have a mother with superb taste 👌🏻
I was 16 when an 18 year old mate first played this to me. This is your future he said. All these years later I'm still hooked on old skool
+manicbassa Is right! Old skool 4 life. 135-150 BPM breaks and sub, sweet harmonies.
+manicbassa Your mate must have been a time traveller. Truer words were never spoken! This is a classic!
+John James Headbancking to the MF breaks like a metalhead.Pure UK old skool hardcore

Frickin love Charly, No kid should cross the road without him.

Seen them playing this in Ingleston 31 year ago. CHRIST how long ago. I feel old.

Genius... No comments.

A classic tune of epic proportions. When this came out, it set the president of the early 90’s. The vibe and energy. So glad I experienced it !
classic Prodigy,massive tune,their style has changed wiv the timez,still my fav all-time kru,their muzik now is still block rockin...Prodigy 4life...
It didn't sound old skool back then
hahaha for real, back then it was new lmfao simple simon met a pie-man
haha good one. Can I join your club?
imo, it doesn't sound old school now
sounds better than I thought, aint heard it for about 25 years, it's now 2020
One of the first technologies songs I heard, which turned me on to the dark side of raves for all of the 90's. Thank you Prodigy!
The end bit was my favourite. Big Up Prodigy I never noticed that from you before 😂
Best years of my life. Close my eyes, feel it and just go. Knowing that wherever you was, everyone was with you.
This is the song that made my ears prick up and made me say am having some of that lol think i was about 12 years old so it got me started early lol
I’m 12 now and I really like this song 😂
@@lildarney8116 Good taste then lad 👦 👏 👌 👍
Prodigy music never gets old... The group are streets ahead in this genre

Memories.
"Charly says always tell your mummy before you go off somewhere"
The first rave tune I ever heard. My mate introduced me to it and I was hooked. Still am. Long live the old skool
Only the Prodigy could turn a public information announcement into a classic!!!
My 7 year old son just put this song on omfg
Choooooooon!!
I'm on an oldskool music mish.. next up: EBENEEZER GOODE
Love this when i was young, and still love it, years later.
Timeless classic!
Awww, was expecting the full video! :-(
Quality tune from a quality time.
I remember this song from art school days - 1987-89.
+Woozy Rocketman It was released in 91 and compared to the music being played in 88/89 its a load of commercial shit
+Massimo “Casuals” Osti butthurt raver
Released around my first school disco, happy days 🤗
Haven't heard this for years! Good music - May you rest in peace!
Charly is my most memorable or not, Even named my son after the song. 😆
Charly got a lovely bit of fish and i got a few EE's whoo ha rave on 😅
That blend at the end into SL2 was flawless.
Remember ravin' to this in my forties,loved it .

1992 is still a blur lol
This is the trip into dnb version, which sounds bomb asf
Charly says that you must dance this! yeeeeaaahhhhh!!!!!!
23" sub-bass vibrating your inner core as the triple drop kicks in. :)
Makes me sad when people say it's an old school :D
indeed we were young.
2,024 bods had their melons twisted.
prodigy absolutely brilliant something else
Brilliant. (Mr Keith's Flints dancing & Liam's keyboard. Classic Prodigy, (Thanks for uploading this Scotie8181.)

And now, using my laptop it sounds just as bad ;-)
Hello past me, we meet again!
Charlie says wear your headphones and go cross eyed at 2:00 like me !!!!!!
Still sounds good. Brings back some good memorys
After I heard this song, the next 8 years of my life were very, very hazy.
I know which "Charly" they had in mind when creating this tune :)
Vietnamese people?)
Did I detect SL2's On A Ragga Tip at the end of this track?
this was out well before!
sh1ambone Are you sure about that?
I saw The Prodigy early 90's perform Charly but then SL2 was out in 92 so it has to be close.
Defo ragga tip at the end!
***** This came out in 1991, Ragga Tip was 1992
***** Aha, see what you mean now. It's from a mix, Ragga Tip was the next track
Офигеть!!!! Я был вообще мелким, когда слышал кассету с самопально записанными песнями, и эта в том числе.
Yeah saw them live in 94 they smashed it
castle donnington extreme lasers feeling funny
How the hell did Liam get so much enery out of those break and beats with limited equipment !!
completely agree with you Ellis, most of today's music is really shocking. to find anything decent, you have to do some serious hunting.
This is much harder sounding than the original single, search for The Prodigy - Charly (Official Video) to compare. Both are great in different ways.
I've checked that out and I actually found out I know both versions. There was Experience Expanded with remixes of the album tracks, , some of them pretty awesome. The "other" version of Charly was from that album, methinks :)

wazzer hunkeymonkey quite correct old son but wot he says exactly iz meeowwwoweowwoooweow
Wot an era! Last of the classics.
I admit. I don't have the courage to stand the sound of guitars. Now you made me come back to this video again! It's such a classic! :-)
i was 9 when i heard this from my 14 year old sister
fuck...for years I thought they was sayin 'a little bit of bass, a little bit of brown!'...wrong...anyways....top choon
I Saw The Prodigy Aylesbury Civic Centre in 1991 just before this June came into the charts
Used to play this in my astra gte 16 valve in the 90s
Charlie says never take drugs, with a name like that Charlie not so sure
Remember the other lick, i don't smoke the reefa
except his name isnt charlie, its charly ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thats why the prince had his name, the queen luvs a line !
Robin Banks *charly
