The mid 00s resurgence of indie bands, soccer am, pre credit crunch, before social media took over, Bebo and Msn messenger, popped collars on a Lacoste polo, white trainers, spraying on too much Joop. This was the life in 2006.
That sentiment, representing the working class, is something that really resonates with me lately. I have a feeling that it strongly correlates with America's current political landscape.
They wasn't underrated at the time... With the likes of this song & a number of others, they where topping the charts & rightly so... It's still a great tune, so many years later (2021)....
The lyrics say it all. Work 40 hours plus a week to look forward to enjoying the little freedom you have before it all starts again on Monday morning. Sublime lyrics and and bloody good guitars too.!
August 2023, this is the tune of all Train Operator team members & other Transport Companies who are under pressure from the Govt & other Orgs and their only thing they can look forward is The weekend.
@@jonathanhadley2555 Yes everyone getting together having a few drinks, having a few games of pool and darts with rocks songs blasting on the jukebox! Everyone just enjoying themselves. That’s part of being being British!
2005 ... Single, 34 back in the UK after several years in The US, decent job , owned my own flat ... loved this & the AM, Weller etc ... living ur best life mos def , the decade post the Brit Pop thing weren't half bad
I remember listening to that 2000s song by the British band Hard-Fi when I was a teenager. It's a great song. It's one of my favourite 2000s songs of all time. This song never gets old. It will always be a timeless classic. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Still the most quintessential Friday tune ever. Hear this on a Friday afternoon or evening, I know it's going to be a good one. For a 20yr old song....it's transcended time very, very well indeed. Still my go-to Friday track
Is also my favourite song to herald the weekend. At work 19 min before finally the workday ends we always play this song (is unfortunatelly in German less energizing): m.ruclips.net/video/bElb2KgLxP8/видео.html
It's the year 2022 in Dublin, Ireland, and we are still listening to your music. Class lyrics, bass, music, vocals. Love you, Hard-Fi. Please come back. Pure music that all. Love yous.
I’m up late at night in June, 2020. I randomly remember HardFi from years ago and just quickly look up their songs. This song starts cranking and I’m instantly filled with joy. God damn, these guys are good, and these songs still slam. I don’t know what it is, but something about music and the UK just mixes so very well!
Back when music had meaning! We need bands like this right now. And I would so love Hard Fi to get back together, their music was an anthem for me back in the day...
This band's sound, at least the first two albums, summarize the kind of British music I love, including influences from the Clash to the Manic Street Preachers.
First time i heard this song was on a Carling advert lol, 2nd time was in a sports direct, never looked back since though, now in a job where im literally living for the weekend
When a band grabs your mind it is impossible not to sustain its style! Hard-Fi wrote some undeniable anthems about everyday life, they highlighted the current troubles of younger and older people by a perfect pattern of rock/electronic injection! Youth is a thing they need to stand out, the disease is descriptive in their lyrics, the pressure of living in a society that compels you to adjust to a certain style and not to express your own ideas! This is the huge glitch we deal with.
+j d 11:30 check shirts for miles, you've had 1 or 2 drinks, feeling good but you're not done yet. 12:00 The best looking girl in the club catches your eye. 3:15 back home with the fattest girl there hahaha
I have never worked the traditional week and for most of the year not even believed in a “weekend”. However all that has changed this week, today marks the start of my first weekend in 90 weeks, having worked Monday to Friday and I’m loving the novelty of it. The Friday feeling, the structure to the week. No surprise that I’ve had this playing most of the week, and due to my circumstances it means so much more. This indie banger is something of an emotion almost. For 90 weeks, I’ve been living for THIS weekend
Hard Fi are amongst the greatest bands ever, short lived in the charts but NEVER forgotten, the songs on Stars Of CCTV are all brilliant, the standards that the most historic of bands would be proud of. Music's tragedy is that successes are often short lived, if any. They are one of the standouts of the new millennium, inspired by great influential groups and individuals from way before them. They should reform, as they no doubt could,with the opportunity arising. They'd stuff the current charts fodder, returning music to the better standards again...
One of my all-time favourite bands! Totally unique and instantly recognisable sound....so under-rated, where did you go,? I agree, come back Hard-Fi!! 😍😍😍

They way your spinning or talking this way! Is like your still in 2006v😢😂
yessss
We didn't realise how precious an awesome it was till it was over..
Good fcukin times
I love this song 😍💟
Still sounds fresh as fuck in 2024 😊
yea, could be re-released
I think that was their issue, they were slightly ahead of their time for the era of music that was in back then.
A song that perfectly illustrates the UK.
Bonjour)) here it is ))
15 yrs ago yea not now....
@@don__hector7845?
I can’t understand why they never made it bigger.The crap what’s out know is unbelievable.
true, that have style, sound, they deserve more fame
There is still lots of great music coming out, it’s just not on the charts. Charts is absolute rubbish these days
Gov don't like real bands ha
Most people don't work do they the ones that do if they didn't would run the place haha
They had two number one albums.
Hard-Fi keeping it fucking real. Brits just live for The Weekend 🙃
Yup listening 2024
2021: is there a better working-class anthem than this? Magic.
Pulp - Common People
Town Called Malice
Hard fi has aged very well one of the best indie bands to have sprung from staines London 😎
The jam have about twenty songs that are better anthems but this good
@@PTMarcoBryant mod band
This song sums up British culture..Work all week then spend your hard earned wages on getting hammered.
Class.
British Culture? Its like this everywhere in the western world.
British culture would be drinking all week also. Not just on the weekend.
Exactly why I left the UK about the time this stuff came out. This song reminds me about sticking two fingers up to this culture.
Well arent you a badass
I don’t drink at all.
Tune! What a banging year 2005 was.
Not as good as 1990 till 1999 though, but I know what you mean, keep it real and fuck the Tories 😂
This tune is an anthem will always be anthem . Turn it up and rock out its about living for the weekend baby!!!!!
Was it really that long ago!? Wow, I remember when it was released
This song never ages, always perfect for Friday afternoons.
Take my bear ( sorry that was bout beer ))
Why I am here right now
Still pumpin'!
I was listening to this yesterday - a Friday in 2024 remembering when I used to play it every Friday afternoon at my job, back in 2008
Stars Of CCTV is one of THE great albums of this century.
Man the nostalgia! Indie Rock totally ruled the British music scene during the 2000s, those times were more fun and simple...
Yea indie music that talks about going footie and kicking peoples heads in
Total lie.@@iliasmichailbouras1390
Such an underrated band
Proper LADS tune. Getting in from work/uni whatever and getting ready for a night out. Quality.
Next level anthem Turn it up loud!!
What I like about this band is that their music really relates to working class people
Well said mate.
+Jorbus JEAN Yes I agree - it's real issues
That sentiment, representing the working class, is something that really resonates with me lately. I have a feeling that it strongly correlates with America's current political landscape.
Lol, they are from Staines in Surrey! Surrey is perhaps the poshest county in the UK!!!
Staines is hardly posh, though.
One of the most criminally UNDERRATED FEEL GOOD Tunages....EVER !!!
underrated band, this is a tune!
They wasn't underrated at the time... With the likes of this song & a number of others, they where topping the charts & rightly so... It's still a great tune, so many years later (2021)....
In 2019, we are still Living For The Weekend.
And 2020 is one ground hog day of a weekend In isolation
Even in 2020!
Hope you enjoyed it weekends dont exist in 2020
2021. Same
Banger. Most underrated 💯
Not only defies an era but defies British Culture, what a song, what a band
The lyrics say it all. Work 40 hours plus a week to look forward to enjoying the little freedom you have before it all starts again on Monday morning. Sublime lyrics and and bloody good guitars too.!
Why weren't Hard Fi massive? Brilliant band great songs should have been huge. In my opinion their debut album was one of the finest. Great band.
I had this album on constant loop in 2005
Great year
Bu şarkıyı dinleyen Türkler de varmış demek :)
The year is 2023 and i'm in a eternal monday-friday loop hearing this masterpiece. Never looked so actual.
August 2023, this is the tune of all Train Operator team members & other Transport Companies who are under pressure from the Govt & other Orgs and their only thing they can look forward is The weekend.
2020. Great tune. Come back Hard-Fi.
@@stephencampbell6424 I shall overcome, tonight tonight, fire in the house. All underrated songs
They’re era is over we’ll never have an era like the 2000’s and early 2010’s ever again. We have wokeness and political correctness in the 2020’s
LK33 What the culture of just getting pissed at the weekend...Some culture
@@jonathanhadley2555 Yes everyone getting together having a few drinks, having a few games of pool and darts with rocks songs blasting on the jukebox! Everyone just enjoying themselves. That’s part of being being British!
@@underneonloneliness2 Yep getting together & having a few being the word!
God I miss these bangers from 2000s. I'd give anything to go back in time n have a night ont sesh
2005 ... Single, 34 back in the UK after several years in The US, decent job , owned my own flat ... loved this & the AM, Weller etc ... living ur best life mos def , the decade post the Brit Pop thing weren't half bad
In my opinion this era is Britain's best ever era of music. So many great bands
top tune
you fucking what mate, try 10 years previous. You are the sort of helmet who probably thought Ordinary Boys were good
Are you for real??? "Britain's best ever era of music"???? How old are you, 12????
nahkmiyan that was a joke right!
I think the 60's with the rolling stones & the Beatles was probably the best
2023 and still loving this band!!!!! Where are their views and respect ffs?!?!? Crazy
Top Tune > Brilliant Band ... listening from LA USA //// Jan. 2025 //// Cheers !!
I remember listening to that 2000s song by the British band Hard-Fi when I was a teenager. It's a great song. It's one of my favourite 2000s songs of all time.
This song never gets old. It will always be a timeless classic.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Never get bored of this..Friday music 4ever boys
Still the most quintessential Friday tune ever. Hear this on a Friday afternoon or evening, I know it's going to be a good one.
For a 20yr old song....it's transcended time very, very well indeed. Still my go-to Friday track

It's the year 2022 in Dublin, Ireland, and we are still listening to your music. Class lyrics, bass, music, vocals. Love you, Hard-Fi. Please come back. Pure music that all. Love yous.
The lyrics say it all...slave your arse off all week for that little window of freedom on a Friday and Saturday night.
I’m up late at night in June, 2020.
I randomly remember HardFi from years ago and just quickly look up their songs. This song starts cranking and I’m instantly filled with joy. God damn, these guys are good, and these songs still slam.
I don’t know what it is, but something about music and the UK just mixes so very well!
Pure joy 🙂
Us Brits are good at 2 things; exceptionalism and music.
Filmed at what was 1000 Great West Road, Brentford (now called the Mille) alongside the M4. Directed by Scott Lyon for Factory Films.
remember when the streets where clean.
I'm in 2022 and the nostalgia behind this tune is pure filth 🔥
Going out tonight!!!! Come back excellent music!!!
Bloody fantastic - where are they - Hard Fi, we need you back!!!
Think he's gone solo with a different name x
Fantastic as relevant in the summer of 2022 as it ever was.
イギリスのロックは世界一。
歌い方といい、リズムといい、テンポといい、どれも最高。過小評価されすぎているバンドだと思う。
日本でこのバンドを知ってる人がいないのも、とても寂しい。
Back when music had meaning! We need bands like this right now. And I would so love Hard Fi to get back together, their music was an anthem for me back in the day...
Pure British culture,that's why we love them
Haven't heard this for ages, such a great song
Stars of CCTV was such a banging album
Top Gear Winter Olympics... Such a good song!
DethroneME that's just how I got here! Repeat on Dave.
Sean Willis I thought I was the only one who was here because of Top Gear
That's exactly how I discovered this band. Was watching that episode on Netflix, this song came on and I had to pause it and find this absolute banger
Watched it last night and google brought me here, mad.
MPH 06' for me
I still love this
This band's sound, at least the first two albums, summarize the kind of British music I love, including influences from the Clash to the Manic Street Preachers.
This has got to be the greatest sing ever made, SIMPLES.
Still one of the best songs ever made. Would so anything to see these guys live... listened to this for 11 years!
Going on tour this October :)
@@tomaswainyComing to Cambridge as part of the tour
Rock City Nottingham next month(Oct 2023)for me!!💥💃🏻
Thank fuck there coming back forgot how good hard-fi are takes me back to my youth I literally wore out this cd
Still good all these years later
brilliant British sound. top band!!!!
First time i heard this song was on a Carling advert lol, 2nd time was in a sports direct, never looked back since though, now in a job where im literally living for the weekend
This song has one of the best intros ever.
Brentford 😃. They are a very talented band. 🎸🎺🎷🎹🎶
I truly believe Hard-Fi are a 21st century version of the Jam. Haven’t heard about them for years, though.
When a band grabs your mind it is impossible not to sustain its style! Hard-Fi wrote some undeniable anthems about everyday life, they highlighted the current troubles of younger and older people by a perfect pattern of rock/electronic injection!

This is the huge glitch we deal with.
I miss the 00's. They were fucking amazing.
November 2022 and this is still hekkin amazing.
Gets me in the mood for town tonight!
Used to listen to this on Friday mornings on the way to work in Chiswick. Not far from where this video is shot in Brentford.
2025
I miss this music , nothing compares anymore
There is something incredibly satisfying about the craning camera shots in this video ...
Man this brings me back, few drinks with the lads at pes before we head out, this song playin in back round
j d background* lol
what better way to start a night
+Guy Pearson by 11 you be well pissed and then to the club dancin like an epileptic spider :)
+j d 11:30 check shirts for miles, you've had 1 or 2 drinks, feeling good but you're not done yet.
12:00 The best looking girl in the club catches your eye.
3:15 back home with the fattest girl there hahaha
+Guy Pearson haha I was with ya to last part although I did get drugged once by some fat bird who tried to have her way wit me :)
Seen these guys in Kingston(Surrey) before they were famous and I knew they would make a record.
Watching during 2020 lockdown for the nostalgia. I think it might be Sunday today...
doesn't get the airplay that this tune deserves,if this won't get ya in the form for a Fri nite session nothing will👍👍
Kent this tune for years but listened to the lyrics when it came on the radio last and it's pure anthemic. Love this shit.
im 46 and love this song soooo much.x
TOP gear driving anthems! What days those were!!
still not bored by this in 2016
amazing song
Totally agree. think it means more now!!
Listening in the US July 2018. Still CHOON.
@@LookHearMeOut Yes man... I hear ya !! 👊🏻🙏🏻👍🏻😃🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
It's now 2023 and it's still amazed to listen to..... classic tune! 🎉
The one and only Hard Fi what a band real chunes for real world people
This song just popped into my head for no reason, so I searched with all the lyrics I could remember and finally found it :D
Absolute Banger
I am a pop purist but this is bloody awesome. I love everything about it. Still.

Couldn’t agree more!!!
There's some pretty great tracks on "once upon a time in the west" too, like suburban knights, tonight and Television
Both their albums were brilliant. The band was just too authentic I think. Doesn't fit with today's fake mainstream music.
This is how we used to live😥
2024 and it still smacks
One of my all-time favourite bands! Totally unique and instantly recognisable sound....so under-rated, where did you go,? I agree, come back Hard-Fi!! 😍😍😍
They're back
we need more HArd -Fi please come back
Still a banger! Back when we could leave our homes 😂
Brilliant🙂
Love Hard Fi❤
Basingstoke v bracknell today. ⚽ This classic came on and brought me back here.
This was all about work hard play even harder this was the best indie rock song of 2005
Playing at Victorious in Portsmouth this year - buzzing to see them
U luzky bastard )) coz I am not )) Cheerz ))
Lucky xx I doubt they'll ever come to the states
Still relevant and still banging!
And you know this, mannnn !! 😂
Stuck in my 6th week of lockdown due to Coronavirus 2020 and listening to this on repeat. I can not wait to go out once this is all over
How’s that working out for you? 😂
Forgot about this tune
What a classic 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
That is one of the best songs ever!!!! I wanna party now..., but it's only Wednesday.....
Go on break the rules!!
As a massive MUSE fan, I'm loving these guys. Low key, good music, straight forward, good shit!
2006 still a classic
Forgot how good this song is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Yeah same, what a tune!!
Found this from my friend's story. Very awesome!
5 years since (la flèche d'or in Paris !) 👍💞
HARD FI, WE MISS YOU SO MUCH !!! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Such a great,uplifting song.
2021... Hard fi still gettin me thru work.... glad i can wear headfones haaa
