![MORTAL KOMBAT 1 - KOMBAT PACK 2 REVEAL TRAILER!! [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mi2M58zEQVc/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm the little girl in the trolley at the end. My dad was the manager of the supermarket and they borrowed me 🤣 I remember trying to act by picking up a packet of scourers! One of my earliest memories.
very cool!!
Wow!
The years slip by. I was only a young boy back in the 80s. I did trolleys 🛒 in Dunnes Stores Limerick Ireland back in the late 90s. Mothers with their babies would pay 1 pound for use of a baby trolley. The winters were freezing 🥶 cold.It was an outside trolley shed. Burger land is there now where the shed was. Managers could be tough and customers would hardly know you were there.There were some friendly customers that would talk to you.😊Managers would laugh when I use to run into reception to get change thinking I was trying to chat up the girl working there. I now work for a landscaper for the last 20 years.😊😅
Nice memory for you.
Nice story and nice memories
She was all of 23 when she made this. What an absolutely astounding talent. And speaking of astounding talents, the song was actually written by Kirsty MacColl (who was the same age as Tracey) three years earlier at the age of 20. RIP, Kirsty.😧
Brilliant song, Kirsty MacColl was very talented. This should be a Christmas song, it's painstakingly nostalgic
The Babbbbbby in the middle is Kirstys voice as Tracey couldn't hit the high note!
i think kirsty was sixteen when she composed this.
I don't listen to much Pop at all, but I liked this because I liked her and her TV show.
Thanks for the info about Tracey.
Another interesting fact... This uses the exact same backing track as Kirsty MacColl's original version. It's basically a karaoke. 😊
Love this sweet song..and the appearance by Paul McCartney!
is that Paul?
@@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL 2:33 Yep, that’s him 🙌🏻
She was also in his film 'Give My Regards To Broad Street'.
@@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL No. That was Ringo.
Damn, that IS Paul McCartney!
Her talent is off the charts. She is beyond amazing!
Don't care, I love this song. And she looks so adorable in the shopping cart scene❤️
You are SO RIGHT!Adorable!
@@littlebirdling238 😊❤
Agree
All women, no matter how cute and hot they start out being when they're young, will end up looking like that when they're older. Shapeless frumps. (Maybe in 20 or 30 years.)
Me too 😍
Tracey Ullman is a genius entertainer.
She sure is! I love her!
"The Simpsons" started out on Tracey's show!
Indeed! I just love her!!
Why didnt she carry on singing what a lovely voice.
@@brianfreeman9554 she didn't like it though, it's only now that it's super successful that she's trying to get all the credit for it 😒
Absolute perfection. The boyfriend in the video kills it. Amazing song and amazing old school video. And of course Paul's cameo is gold.
I couldn’t believe it was him until they zoomed in and I screamed it real is Paul McCartney!!
I don't understand why Paul was plopped in there.
@@jonhohensee3258 Well at the time they we're shooting a horrible movie together called "Give My Regards to Broadstreet"
@@cookiemanlives - So what? He looks nothing like the other guy in the video playing her boyfriend. And he has a different personality too. It's almost like Paul is thinking "Look at me! I'm Paul McCartney! Aren't you thrilled?".
@@jonhohensee3258 .. that was because Tracy had a big name in England and was and is still good friends with Paul, that's why.
Tracey Ullman never fails to put a smile on my dial! She is so cute in this. A complete one off talent!
Tracey Ullman has more talent in her baby finger than most entertainers have in their whole body. She can sing, dance, act, write and perform fantastic comedy. I love her voice, too !
She's also cute! :)
The Simpsons were first introduced as a cartoon on the Tracy Ullman Show.
She kills me as Angela of Germany :)
She is so super talented
Agreed!
Agreed, she can do it ALL! Didn't even know this existed, what a great cover and yes, her voice is superb. Didn't see the McCartney ending coming-ha ha! So cool! Maybe she can Drive My Car...
Married my late wife that year in 84. This song brings back memories of her. Love her for all time
sorry to hear about your loss
Treasure the memories Mike, it DOES get easier.
God bless you.
I missread that, I thought it said "maimed"
I buried my first love who I've met in the 80s. Amongst the least favorite things that I have done.
I simply adore this, I used to watch her TV program just so I could hear this song at the end of every show. The production is amazing, and way ahead of its time, and it is a real earworm.
Complete entertainer on every level. Drama, comedy, singing, writing, hilarious personality. Stable, gifted, consistent...
A terrible reader of an audiobook.
Love the Paul McCartney cameo at the end.
Tracy had appeared in Paul's "Give My Regards To Broad Street" and he was returning the favor.
That was him throughout the video
@@silentvalentina727 I so needed you to enlighten me. I didn't notice that watching the video /sarc.
I had a big crush on the man playing Paul back then. Not Macca but the one with the mustache 😉
Zeek Banistor yes because that’s how she sees him.
Met my wife in 84 when she was 14, and I 16. Still together. This is our song.
Glad you are both happy, hope you have a long happy life together
You were 84 when you met your wife when she was 14!! Do you realize when she's 34 you'll be 104 years old. Shameful, shameful!
+edmund mcgrath i met her in 1984. i was 16
You met her in 1984 at 84 years old. That would make you 116 years old today!! unbelievable. I had not idea there was anyone over the age of 110 on you tube.
Awesome, Man. That' is good stuff. :)
This song sends shivers down my spine every time I listen to it! I think it has a lot to do with the beautiful chord changes throughout the song. Pure perfection!!
Absolutely, and the way the melody moves along them.
The harmonies at the end are musical gold.
Shirley here, I could listen to this song all day. The video was cute perfect for the words.
The chord changes, the pitch perfect harmony. And that MacColl high note. Close to a perfect song.
@frakte Beach Boys, Bee Gees and CSN level harmony.
one of the most uplifting songs ever
Can we talk about what a supremely talented person Tracey Ullman is? She can sing, dance, act AND she’s FUNNY.
How many people do you come across like that?
And don't forget, she gave The Simpsons its start!
Jimmy saville🤔
@@rklegrand YES!!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Ullman's vocal overly mixed down here. I can barely find it under all the "effects."
She's cute too!
Her facial expressions are so great in this video. Every time I see her start dancing in the grocery store I can’t help but smile.
It's powerful, almost 40 years later.
The song is about such a pure love, that's why the dancing at the end is so beautiful.
Heard this song on SiriusXM today, man what memories it brought back. Many have already said it, but the 80’s were the best of times! Nobody staring at their phones, no texting. Our eyes did all the talking! Love u Tracy!!
Got reminded of this tonight watching a reproduction of Friday Night Videos from the 80's. I hadn't heard this song in forever but don't you know I sang right along with it word for word? This era is immortal. Love Tracey Ullman.
1 of the most unappreciated talents of the entertainment industry.
+John Booker Maybe but she's the second richest British actress and the richest British comedienne. I should be so unappreciated!
Kerensa Birch I appreciate that.
+John Booker Is that the same John Booker who I have worked with? Adam. Either way I agree with you.
Thx. As for working together,could be.What were we doing?
John Booker's Full spectrum I agree
Kirsty MacColl wrote this, may she rest in peace. What a lost treasure. .
I absolutely love Kirsty MacColl. One of my favorite songs is the duet she did with Shane McGowan "Fairytale Of New York". From The Pogue's album 'If I Should Fall From Grace With God''. I can't believe it will be 20 years in December that Kirsty's been gone.💖🙏👼
Didn't know that. I remember my drama teacher when it came out saying she knew the person that wrote the song and it was her!
@@Latbirget Here is the original version. ruclips.net/video/4vQkf_sC0PI/видео.html
@@Latbirget That is SO cool!😃👍
Kirsty is doing the backing vocals with Tracey
The is pure pop gold. The harmonic richness of kirsty MacColl's song, reminiscent of the Phil Spector girl group genre, evoking youthful romantic exitement. Tracey's powerful but also slightly ironic vocal delivery - and in this video great comic acting. The richness of the backing vocals. The high "Baby!..." (they got Kirsty MacColl herself in to sing that because Tracey couldn't hit the note). I love melody and this is one of the best. I find it blissfully overwhelming.
Beautiful synopsis btw. Couldn't agree more. This song does something to me everytime I hear it. No other version captured the magic of this
@@MrBlick76 ❤
Spot on review!
The harmony in the backing vocals is superb, as is the the who;le of the song/video. i've repeated viewing for years!
She's astonishing. I don't know how many awards she's won but it should be doubled.
Kirsty MacColl wrote such beautifully-crafted songs about young love; I believe she was only seventeen when she wrote They Don't Know. The musicianship here is absolutely first rate, the vocal harmonies are sheer perfection (it's lovely to hear Kirsty's voice so prominent amongst the backing vocals). I could listen to this song all day long, but it's SO perfect that it makes me cry every time I play it - makes me wish I was that young all over again - when everything was fresh and exciting. THAT is the true power of a really great song/songwriter. Rest in peace, beautiful lady.
Totally agree. I prefer Kirsty's original version of this song and the 'baby' here is actually sang by her as Tracey could not reach that high note. 'They Don't Know' is just one of many great songs that Kirsty wrote or covered. Gone far too soon.
TONGA9691 TONGA incredible x
Kirsty also sings the prominent "Baby" because it was too high pitched for Tracy
it makes me cry every time I play it , lol not me i've just been cutting onions.
Clearly, Tracey adored Kirsty, as she also recorded "You Caught Me Out", "You Broke My Heart In 17 Places", and "Terry".
Omg...this is one of the happy songs that's been forgotten through the decades. Makes me feel like a teenager again....long live the 80's
Love the ending with Paul McCartney....however love the dude who plays her husband...iconic video
You can see more of the dude in Tenpole Tudor videos, he was the lead guitarist.
@@kingcap3444 I thought I recognised him.
I met him once at a Modettes gig.
He was a nice guy.
This is such an overwhelmingly great song. Everything about it is sheer perfection. Such a marvelously crafted arrangement without being overproduced. Wonderful.
I totally agree.
I Still Love Tracey Ullman!!! Such a Cute Song!!!!
Jasmine Anaya same here always been a huge fan of Tracy Ullman still today
Well crafted song. Phil Spector cries because he didn't get to produce this tune.
And he is still in jail. =D
hard to believe this song came out 33 years ago! Memories !
Jasmine Anaya, she sings BOBBY'S GIRL really well too.
This such a unique single and video to see in '84. Tracy's 60's look was something that nobody else was doing in the early 80s. Dancing with the shopping cart was beautiful.
Agreed. It's also cool the song itself has a 60s flavor.
I'm pretty sure Mary Wilson also had a 60s vibe to her look in the early 80s with a beehive etc
@@soullimbo Well, sure but it was the same 60's look she had in the 60s.:)
@@Jantonov1 Mari Wilson wasn't around in the 60s, she came to prominence in the early 80s.....with a 60s look ;)
@@soullimbo Are we talking about Mary Wilson of the The Supremes?
Beautiful song by the immensely talented Kirsty McColl. Reminds me of life in London in the 80s ❤
The Simpsons would never have existed were it not for the incredible Tracey Ullman. She could do all their voices as well. Fabulous talent.
Matt Groening had quite a bit to do as well! Love Tracey!!!!
The expression that she gives in the supermarket when her beau gooses her is priceless.
The harmonies of the overdubs are just transcendent and a perfect match for the wall-of-sound homage. Such a unique single in a sea of New Wave.
Love that McCartney cameo! What a lovely song, makes your heart go all warm!
I absolutely love tracey ullman . She was and is so naturally funny . I was sad to learn of her losses in her private life . A special person who truly deserves her success . god bless 💛💛.
There's literally nothing wrong with this. This is perfect.
This has every emotion going. Best video EVER!
You are absolutely and literally correct.
@@basilmarasco1975 thx bro
I was 8 when this came out, listened to it loads when it was released
yes there is. it isn't long enough!
The late and great Kirsty MacCool’s song . She does the high part , “Baby! “ in this one. ❤️
She also did her own version but let Tracey take the credit bless her 😓❤
I love that part!
now you've said it, you can hear it's Kirsty MacColl singing it and no Tracey
@@gazetc no you can’t, it’s Tracey singing it.
@@hellsbells7905 it’s Kirsty singing all the backing vocals and the high “baby” bit.
Kirsty MacColl's angelic voice all over those backing vocals, Love her...And what a great effort at a cover version.
Kirsty had to sing the high note on baby. Tracey couldn't quite hit it
I met Tracey Ullman tonight. She was the friendliest most down to earth celebrity I know off. What a gem.
Im so damn jealous!!!! Your so lucky ive been a fan of hers since the early 1980s when i was 11 yrs old shes beautiful , talented , hysterical and now im so glad to hear down to earth!! The Simpson owe her so very much of their fame! I so loved the Tracey Ullman Show!!
@@rickt.vincent8400 yeah man, she was great. So have I, been a huge fan for a long long time.
@@vikramrao6391 exellent, what was the event
@@michaelsnow7252 no event, she was at a restaurant for dinner.
Wow your lucky I wish I could have met her
Rip Kirsty McCall, A fantastic singer, who's backing vocals on this track made it really special.
I love the way she sings! Her voice is just charming!
Yeah, I always found it cute lol
I remember years later she was introduced on David Letterman, and Paul Shaffer played an instrumental of this song as she walked on, and she was so thrilled that he knew it.
57. Been married for 27 years but still would rewind the years. The music and everything
It's a masterpiece, one of the greatest songs in pop history. Kirsty MacColl was only 17 when she wrote this, and you can hear her on backing vocals. She's one of my favourite ever singers and I miss her to this day. We'll never forget you, rest in peace.
Tracey Ullman has so much talent oozing from her, it's insane.
This song is brilliant . Tracy Ullman is the Queen. That it was written by Kirsty MacColl is so awesome (but unsurprising), and Paul even shows up at the end lol! It’s perfect ❤️
Tracy had appeared in Paul's film "Give My Regards To Broad Street" and Paul was returning the favor.
@@basilmarasco1975 wow, didn’t know that. That’s sweet, now I’ll hafta watch it. Thanks😉
This woman has more talent in her pinky finger than most of today's "stars!!!!
No arguments here.
For some strange reason, I started humming this song to myself a few days ago despite not having heard it in at LEAST 35 years. So today I pulled it up and it made me cry. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
i love that paul mccartney cameos at the end!!!!
Dani McD Or, I love Paul McCartney's cameo at the end. Or, I love the cameo at the end by none other than Paul McCartney. Or, I love Paul McCartney cameoing at the end.
Never mind me. I suppose I just see a glut of "I love that ..." expression these days. When we're trying to get song-writing out of its current, miserable doldrums, it may help to encourage one's own range of expressions generally.
Dani McD OH SNAPS he is in the video
That's not McCartney. That's Billy Shears. McCartney died in a car wreck in 1965. ;-)
(Let's see how many people get this.)
@@KeithE4 (eye roll)
Sure it isn't Tracey playing Sir Paul?!
What a talent she is and she puts humor in everything she does.
She can bring out the music flake in even the hardest core rocker.
I speak from experience.
A fantastic ballad and video from a successful and sublime artist 💖💖❤️💋
This is a love song in its purest form. Sweet without being sappy, glorious without being gushy. Tracey sings the tune with enough of a melodic power to give the lyric a lot of feeling while not being melodramatic or over-the-top about it. Besides; the music does that all on its own. By the way...the arrangement sounds like something Jim Steinman or Phil Spector would have pulled...all lush strings, lots of percussion, piano/synthesizers, throbbing bass lines and some admittedly powerful guitar. Music needs more songs like this. Where is simplicity when it's most needed?
well said, my sentiments too
It's great hearing that there are others out there who appreciate that over-produced music. Have you listened to George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" album? It's a great example.
Yes, I love the arrangement. It sounds 80s synthesized at times but the bass and strings give it some authenticity. I love it.
great arrangement, key changes etc
and tubular bells and I think the producers may admit to a little "wow-and-flutter" to give it that extra vinyl record appeal
This song hit the American shores in the Spring of '84!!
Can't believe it's been 35-years ago!! 🕯🌷
I had a soccer game tonight. I had this in my head the whole time. XD
This song is a masterpiece. A highly underrated song. Tracey Ullman is awesome.
Absolutely!.but also a highly underrated comedianne for her brilliant characters portayals!
I have never understood why no one covered this song! But in hindsight I'm glad no one ever did! I was crazy about this song as a kid
@@AmbientAsc The song is a cover.
@@scottandrewbrass1931 who originally sang it please so I can listen to that one too
Awww.. love Tracey Ullman.. this was one of my favorites. I forgot about Paul McCartney at the end. A true classic.
My middle aged self was doing dishes this morning when the high pitched "BAAABY" part of the song popped in my head. It all came flooding back....i loved this song and the video is so cool. Tracey Ullman is the best!
Love the piano playing in this song.
Not me only recently discovering how amazing Tracey Ullman is.
This is, ladies and gentlemen, an evergreen. It never goes old
Love her !! I love the lyrics of “ When they look at you they don’t see what I see “
Perfect !!
Yes, beautiful
A cover of Kirsty MacColl's 1979 swooner "They Don’t Know", but with added Spectorian production that indulge big harmonies, while Tracey Ullman amps up the kitsch and performs in a video that showcases her comedy chops.
There are songs in our lives that stay with us forever. This is one of mine. Thanks, Tracey.
80s girl grown up with Tracey Ullman Love this song so much... This video's so real tho. X
Very real. They are obviously happy with what they have. THAT is real love.
WOW! Can't remember when I last heard that song - must've been ages! Thanks for giving me these memories!
I would LOVE to see a 2021 version of this! Can you imagine Tracey and Paul re-enacting that finale? Let alone the rest of it!
That would be dumb. Paul shouldn't have been in the video.
@@jonhohensee3258 Are you serious? Sir Paul is the BEST part of the video!
@@itsjemmabond - He's the worst.
@@jonhohensee3258 oh yeah, Paul McCartney is the worst! Haha my brother
@@jonhohensee3258 Wow, you and your BF Zach have a data signal in your cry closet? I thought those were encased in metal to protect tasteless pantieboi losers like you. Go figure.
I've adored this song for nearly 40 years since I first heard it. This version.
This song reminds me of meeting my wife in Daytona Beach - spring break 1984. I was from Georgia and she was from New York. We were married 2 years later.
Happy 72nd anniversary!...1944 wow.. my grandson fought in Georgia/Ukraine himself during the war. He met his wife there as well, but sadly she turned out to be a Russian spy, later assassinating him, resulting from an argument over a can of tinned meat.
I'm 59, still love this, and for some reason, I'm crying hearing it tonight.
need a tissue?
@@stumack9755 ?
It does the same thing to me; so funny but just incredibly, sweetly poignant. Absolutely one of the very best videos and songs of the '80's which is seriously saying something!
Damn those onion slicing ninjas....
It’s your lament for lost youth. I was 21 in October 83 and my whole life stretched ahead and the airwaves were filled with incredible music. Ahh the sands of time!
Even to this day this song puts a smile non my face....I love it!
No it doesn't.
David Cassidy poster on the wall...He was also a great performer and a very beautiful man both inside and out...RIP David
I noticed a Gary glitter poster when Tracy was dressed in her baycity rollers outfit, I definitely don't want to be in his gang 😬😬😬
@@carolecochrane8173: Gary Glitter is _bad,_ m'kay?
This is my new favorite song. wow! Never realized Tracey Ullman has done almost everything and been successful at it. Such a great talent and a down to earth great personality.
What a perfect combination! A Kirstie MacColl classic tune delivered by a wonderful singer! I just love this song! And the video!
There's something very special about this song!
Few things more wonderful than a comedic woman with an angelic voice and physically beautiful too... Thanks Tracey....
How could you not just love this?
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Pretty great that McCartney shows up in the end!
This is a fantastic pop song and Tracey sings it with such brightness - I love it!
My favourite music video from the 1980s. The boyfriend was too funny stuff and the Paul McCartney cameo at the end was priceless. Tracey Ullman was great too. Used to get a kick out of her on her Fox show few years after this.
I just love this one. Impossible not to smile and sing along. Tracey is always so funny, but she has a really great voice and is so cute :)
My hoodlum friends and I used to howl out the "Bay-bee" part back in the day. I also love the lipstick on her teeth detail and the Bay City Rollers outfit. 😂 Great song and fun video.
They got Kirsty McColl to do that line as Tracey’s voice wasn’t high enough
She probably borrowed the tartan off LES McKEOWN 😂😂😂
@@carolecochrane8173: D-A-Y . . . Night!
Just tell your hoodlum friends outside ...
You ain't got time to take a ride!
Love coming back to listen & to watch you sparkle. That swaying supermarket scene does it every time Tracey !
Tracey sells the story and the song so well in the video. Love it.
Heard this over a local radio station that plays old songs from 70-80s, absolutely love it.
Her face after the gutter ball. The eye rolls. And ohhhhh the supermarket.
The birth of a comedic genius.
Like it was yesterday. Thanks MTV.
Yes!
There's a real possibility that the Simpson's don't exist as a TV show, if this song doesn't exist. Tracey is amazingly talented.
Good song great video. Love the supermarket
@@DavidMiller-ce8xz... and she has another 'bun in the oven'!
Gary Druckenmiller so reply
The intro to this song is glorious. I absolutely love the bells… chimes… whatever they are.
This is one really cool, iconic, retro-feeling song written by an extremely talented, gifted, albeit under-rated cute young lady. Fell in love with this tune, and Ms. Ullman first time I heard it in this video! Had that retro-pop kind of feelb to it..Brought me right back to 1959-61! Song holds a special place in my heart!!
Havent listened to this since 1980's....awesome.
tracey looks really pretty in this video.
She's only 23.
@@ajs41 : Wow, I had no idea she was that young in this video. I guess that explains it!
@@Milesco She was born on 30th December 1959. This video is from September 1983. She was on TV from 1981 onwards, so even younger then, about 21.
Oh goh yeah!!!! So kissable!!
She looks like a young Emily Gilmore
What a talent! She could do everything beautifully
Tracey takes the cake, ice cream and all the party favors, too. WOW!
"I tell the others', don't bother me, coz when they look at you they don't see what I see." Must be getting old. This line can produce a tear...
Stunning young lady and still looking great 👍
Never get sick of her talent
Everything about this, music and video, is brilliant. 😊 I feel like I'm a young man back in the 1980s...
Before The Tracey Ullman Show, this was my first introduction to this adorable, talented performer!!
the dancers in "Mod" outfits @ 1:30 are great. A great song,, a whole life in 3:00 I love how "Paul" in the Grocery still has his platforms on even though he is a grocery clerk,, the clips of a "Young" Tracy are pure gold
They did such a great job producing and making it sound like a 60s song
Oh Gods I haven't seen this video in Forever!
