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.
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 👏👏👏.

Summer of 1984 was one of the best ever. Great year for music.
Great band & song. RIP Josie
R.I.P Beautiful 🙏❤️
This is an epic song. 😊
An Absolute Masterpiece.
Absolute Classic
Great, great song. Pete is a marvellous songwriter.
The British invaded the world with good music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. Unfortunately, they gave up in 21 first century.
Pet Wylie on TOTP? Those were the days when charts were charts.
Pete was born for top of the pops . Legend . The Eric’s scene and Liverpool was Petes play ground .
Brilliant song and band needs to be released again and again well done
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!!
Rest in Peace Josie 😢❤
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 👍
Music and artists from a different time ❤️

His early single Better Scream is also a banger.
Sinful 86 👍
Hope (I Wish You'd Believe Me) & You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory.
The follow up single to this, called ''Weekends''. Stunning.
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
Love it

Great shout Mark and i agree it does get over looked.

CLASS !
I was 21 brilliant memories iam 59 gone to guick

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