An absolute banger. The nonces dancing in the studio clearly have no clue what the song is about. This song kept me sane in some dark times. God bless Pete Wylie.
I think I've made this comment before but as well as the music being amazing I miss the time when people looked like humans instead of the plastic filled dolls we have now. Wonderful song.
Completely forgot about this song until it appeared on my 80's Spotify list, and immediately brought back memories of my school days era. Awesome tune 👍
Brilliant band fronted by it's songwriter Pete Wylie. Sad Josie Jones died she was a character. And yes people did return back to Liverpool & it is a great vibrant city today.
Ian you're talking a load of Bollocks ................................... like most Liverpudlian Teenagers back in 1984 couldn't get away quick enough from The Fuck in mess our City was in!
Tends to get overlooked by The Story of the Blues - this is a much better record in my view. Apparently it brought John Peel to tears when he first heard it, he felt it to be that good.
When life was simpler , today is too image obsessed , im looking at Pete and thinking today they they would want his hair to be perfect , and wear veneers
2024 and this song still sounds amazing Mr Wylie...pure class 👏👏👏.

The British invaded the world with good music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. Unfortunately, they gave up in 21 first century.
Listen to Shack, Michael Head, Gretel Hamlyn, so many more brilliant British tunes this century
Pete was born for top of the pops . Legend . The Eric’s scene and Liverpool was Petes play ground .
R.I.P Beautiful 🙏❤️
Summer of 1984 was one of the best ever. Great year for music.
Great band & song. RIP Josie
This is an epic song. 😊
Great atmosphere, Top of the Pops is amazing
Absolute Classic
An Absolute Masterpiece.
Rest in Peace Josie 😢❤
John peel was spot on, an absolutely brilliant song.

Top tune, can I go back please
What an inspirational song! And the pisstake swooning dance to show the silliness of miming your hit song is pure genius. Wah Pete!!
Great, great song. Pete is a marvellous songwriter.
Pet Wylie on TOTP? Those were the days when charts were charts.
Music and artists from a different time ❤️
Completely forgot about this song until it appeared on my 80's Spotify list, and immediately brought back memories of my school days era. Awesome tune 👍

Great shout Mark and i agree it does get over looked.
@@jfkfanclub Thank you. I'm sure we both agree that it deserves to be heard more widely.
First they were wah and then the mighty wah!
I was sad to discover the girl in this, Josie Jones died in 2015. Oh and good job by the way top & tailing the "official video" into the TOTP clip.
That's very sad indeed.
Does anyone know how or why Josie died?
@@teodelfuego gosh I didn't know till now.. Rip
Incredible !!!!

When life was simpler , today is too image obsessed , im looking at Pete and thinking today they they would want his hair to be perfect , and wear veneers
CLASS !
Gary Dwyer, ex The Teardrop Explodes, on drums.
I thought that was him! AKA Buff Manila
He was elvis kid ,perfection
Yes when the charts were brilliant 60s 70s 80s and 90s then it went pe tong
I don’t know why but he reminds me of a young Ken Dodd sometimes.
When Pete disembowels the pap! 😂❤ 3:43
I think the TOTP cameraman is well in love with that blonde lady.
Even though it references the kopites across the park it's still a banging tune
COYB's ....but orsm tune anyways ,,🙂
Phil Spector on the dole. High and defiant with unshakeable belief.
Spot on.
They numerous names changes wah always been in the band names
Is that Washington on bass ?
Yes.
A young sly Stallone
A bit Manic Street Preachers?
Lush and particulate
Liverpool ..the centre of the universe
Not the perspective of anywhere else.
Says some random no mark.
Is he trying to look like Dave Vanian? The Damned ?
Am I silly, don't the Manic Street Preachers, sounds similar
I thought that too, especially at the beginning
Great song
Amazing
