30 years old. This gem had to fight against the likes of China in Your Hand, Ballerina Girl, Celebration, Never Gonna Give You Up, La Isla Bonita and Respectable at the time. I belief it's stood the test of time far better than any of the 50 best-selling UK singles of 1987.
Just clicked the like on you're post to 47. ..my middle name is John John is 47 in gematria The all seeing eye the degrees the compass is set at bellow the square at 90 degrees. ..
Of the aforementioned songs,Ballerina Girl was the one in the chart at the same time (late January and early February 1987) as Trampolene. Respectable and La Isla Bonita were chart toppers in the spring,while Rick Astley burst onto the scene with Never Going to Give You Up in the later half of the summer. China in Your Hand,which was T'Pau's second hit straight after Heart and Soul,reached the summit late on in the year,which ended with the Pet Shop Boys holding off the Pogues & Kirsty MacColl for Christmas Number 1.
The week Trampolene,another fine Cope single and the follow-up to the previous autumn's Top 20 hit World Shut Your Mouth,peaked on the chart the Top 10 was as follows: 1 (2) I Knew You Were Waiting For Me - George Michael & Aretha Franklin; 2 (7) Heartache - Pepsi & Shirlie; 3 (1) Jack Your Body - Steve "Silk" Hurley; 4 (10) Almaz - Randy Crawford; 5 (8) Down to Earth - Curiosity Killed the Cat; 6 (3) C'est La Vie - Robbie Nevil; 7 (15) I Love My Radio - Taffy; 8 (5) No More the Fool - Elkie Brooks; 9 (9) Surrender - Swing Out Sister; 10 (4) Is This Love? - Alison Moyet
I knew it was not a dream. It was a faint memory. I remember seeing a Saab 96 in a music video on MTV. Few years ago. Maybe 30? I found it now. My first car was a Saab 96. Back in 1987. I think I need to get one for myself before I grow too old.
Best song he ever did - even those from St Julian! Takes me back to when i had cheekbones, a motorbike, and less belly than i have now LOL Thanks for posting the video!
Back in the booooring 80ies this was the first song that gave mie confidence and showed me that not everything was lost. This song captures all the glory of Pop Music... from the promising intro to the ecstatic guitar riff right till the climactic end... once its over, I always want to listen to it again and again!
I saw Julian Cope - post Teardrop Explodes - play at Glastonbury in 1986 (or it may have been 1987) - he was excellent on stage. I always remember this track being showcased then from the album Saint Julian.
I jumped onstage with him ( uninvited I may add) at one of his gigs and sang the opening lines of 'Bandys first Jump' and instead of kicking me off he actually backed me on his guitar. I still have the recording. Saw him twice solo and and hung out with him in both occasions. An absolutely lovely nutter eccentric to the core but down to Earth big time and very very funny. If you haven't read his Autobiography "Head on" you haven't lived. It's manically hysterically funny and one of the best music books I've ever read
Cope can say what he likes about this album. The bottom line is that even though I completely sympathise with his underground stance on music, this album is an utter gem of pop and aggression, color and joy. The fact he puts in a dark song like A Crack In The Clouds tops it all for me. My all time favorite track is Laughing Boy BTW : )
Just heard this for the first time -Dec 2021 - Could have been a hip new band - nope - 34 years old. ( I am aware that the phrase "Hip new band " shows my age).
Is there another version of this video? I remember seeing it back in the day and the performance part but not the car bits. I'll never forget that microphone stand!
...and meanwhile in the US Top 20 we had The Bangles, Atlantic Starr, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam and a whole host of other forgettable bands. Julian's label should have promoted him harder over here.
well the ruling class always gets what it wants - unless there s a rift - in this case it s the eu who have more rich people than the uk but it s irrelevant because they re complicit

Exactly
Me to
He/was never underrated!!!

The A Word. Love it when TV brings a new audience to the old hits.

This song never fails to cheer me up! x
Same here!

Copey is rated highly by those in the know.

julian is a hero! in concert he had that weird microphone stand that used to extend, and he climbed up it, like a lizard. fantastic!
OMG... I haven't heard this track since the late 80's... thank you Google lyric search.... great track.
brilliant song...takes me back to my youth!!!
Oh, God! 1987... I was 20! Great song and great moments of my life!
A good talent for coming up w/catchy tunes and hook lyrics,

I saw him in Los Angeles, 1987, wild show. Hot night.
Can't go wrong with Julian Cope!

SAAB 96 V4
Great Great album.👍
Why only number 33 in the charts? Dear me,
Just heard this for the first time -Dec 2021 - Could have been a hip new band - nope - 34 years old. ( I am aware that the phrase "Hip new band " shows my age).
Covenant just released the song For our time, and i knew i heard that melody somewhere... It was Trampolene ofc... But a nice song from Covenant to...
0:05 cue 80's hair spray beauty lol. Great song.
Thanks so much for posting. Mr. Cope and I share a bday. (Oct.21) We're an odd, yet cool and sweet lot. (Why not? Can you say any different???)

We were extremely lucky to have an alternative radio station in Phoenix at the time so I didn't have to listen to the "pop" hits of the day!
ジュリアンはね、ぼくの最初のロック・スターなんだよね。全員革ジャンでキメていて最高にカッコイイよね。あの変形マイク・スタンド欲しかったなぁ。福田和也がジュリアンは"学のあるイギーポップ”だって言ってたけ。
田之岡利行 私は当時東京も大阪もコンサートに行って、ホテルのラウンジで一緒に飲んだ事があります。主にギターとベースと喋って
ドラムはポール・マッカートニーとやるから別行動していました。ジュリアンはやはり外に出たがらないタイプでした。でも、最高にカッコ良かったです！
yeah he can but he chooses to go left of centre nearly everytime oh well thats our Julian
Check out Deacon Blue’s fairly decent version
