I'm 65 my wife's relatives are all soul freaks when I get my turn to bang out some tunes they look at me like ive 3 heads Carter usm sherif fatman amongst them banging tunes
I'm 48, loved all those that you mentioned, my wife is 49 and we still listen to this stuff and bounce around like we did when we were listening to this stuff when it was first released
It was a crossover track, played everywhere in 1996 after Trainspotting. Just happened to be perfect for clubs... dragged lots of people into EDM dance culture. What a time.
@@JoolsUK First heard it in early 95 but never again until Trainspotting in 1996 and then played it every week until now. This and Scooter. Crazy times.
Respect Young Dan. Something about trance hooked me at a very young age as well. First album I bought with pocket was the Kevin and Perry movie soundtrack lol
Golden children born 1988 grown up in 90s and loved this music and always will even older brothers playing 90s bangers grown up to love and respect 90s music holds golden memories of being free happy and carefree none of this bullshit we have now going on the world we in 90s party like hell disco we had
This was my mum’s favourite song. She sadly passed away 4 months ago from ovarian cancer. But this was her jam! She’ll be dancing in heaven for his 💃 💔
The synth drop, the drum beat, the strobe lighting, the hypnotic dancing, the history, everything about this song is so intense. Proper bostin tune! This can literally turn over the most stubborn of music listeners, no one can dislike this song. No one. Universal.
My folk music friends (nice people)will NEVER like this music. We can only lament their loss! They go 'plink plink plink' we go 'THWUMP THWUMP THWUMP' 😎🤘
@@robertw8225 Love a bit of folk music myself, but never does it make me jump around my flat late at night, head phones on so not to piss off the folk, with utter joy and love.
Kevin Ashton - He hasn’t. He’s merely pointed out that in the ‘rave scene’ Born Slippery has the same reputation as Stairway to heaven has to ‘rock n roll’. Read things properly and process them before you type a reply that’s responding to something else.
those free parties were amazing. 1000s of people all off their heads - all getting organised to meet up - dodge the law and have it in a random field/Disused Airfield/Warehouse. If you were there I salute you - people that weren't? You missed out.
I love the fact that you see hardly anyone recording with a cell phone in the crowd, everyone just living in the moment and loving what they're seeing.. Beautiful.
I went to see iron maiden a few years ago in a music festival and recorded...never watched the videos and felt like I ruined my moment, never did it again
@@janellmullen1119 I am sure you do Jane. It does get easier, I promise. Focus on the good memories, but of course you will always miss him. Take care and good luck ❤️🙏
@@HammersChatForum The lyrics are pretty great, too. I was on my way to a first date with a woman who became my girlfriend (and later, ex) and the song came on the car radio. I burst into tears at the line "let your feelings slip but never your mask"
Remember these lads at Glasto 98. Mental! When I got home I hugged my mum and thanked her for giving birth to me. DEF still off my tits when I walked through the front door 😂 Hands down, the 90’s will never be beaten. The best.
If I'm having a bad day, I play this. I'm transported back to the 90's, to summer bliss, great music, great movies, no phones and everyone chatting and full of joy. Was I feeling bad again, I forgot :)
Such a damn hard drum beat. Gets the juices flowin. Then chills down all peaceful like. Then goes hard as nails again. Real ride. 42 now. Deep down still feel like that 17 year old getting into the pubs and clubs just to spunk away a weeks wages on nite. Puked down the toilet. Reset over Monday to Friday to do it all over again. Man I love my kids but I miss this time of my life. Thanks for taking me down memory lane YT👍🏻
Most of Underworld's tracks still hold up. There are tunes older than Born Slippy that they've released that sound more creative and modern than most dance music that released today. Cowgirls and Pearl's Girl being just two tracks that fit the bill.
Unfortunatly I was born in 96, too young to hear this on a dance floor/warehouse. But trust me, i have nostalgia of never lived times while i listen to this track.
Born in 86, North of France, heard it many times in belgians club like H2O Club, The Pulse Factory, lagoa and cherry moon! Fuck it was a good time! Big thx to Belgium for bring us real techno styles music in France ! 🇧🇪❤️🇫🇷
Just saw this live at day 2 weekend 1 of Coachella 2023 and the entire song is just ethereal. Underworld was playing at the same time as black pink and honestly it was a no brained this was easily the best performance I’ve seen this year.
I'm 70 in a couple of months and this still rates as one of favourites. I put this through my headphones and can get into a meditative state so quickly. Repetitive beat was the birth of music: the first musical instrument was the drum which coupled with the human voice MADE music!
@@antroidi7283 I understand plenty to know that the elements/ kick drums / loops etc are all pre programmed & edited on the fly during the performance.
You can't talk about the best songs of the 90s and not mention this. It fitted into that decade perfectly "How am I at having fun I know why you're on your way To a new tension headache"
Soundtrack to my life. I had just come of age when trainspotting came out and born slippy was on the radio everywhere you went. I was also heavily into the rave scene. I miss those days something terrible and this music always brings a tear to my eye and a smile to my face.
I’ve seen a 1000+ live performances and the energy generated by 50.000 people dancing to this tune is one of most beautiful memores of my life. To be fair; it happened four times...
As a 25 year old I had the incredible honor of getting to hear their music for the first time ever (Yes, the first time ever!) live at their Coachella 2023 W2 set and it was such an unbelievable experience. I didn't know what to expect and what I got was a performance that I won't soon forget! The artist's and the crowd's energy were so electric and contagious I was dancing nonstop! I instantly fell in love with their music and I had their set replaying in my head all week long. I hope I'm lucky enough to see them again one day.
This track is on the soundtrack of the movie 'Trainspotting' which is how I got to know underworld as a 15 year old boy in 1996. This was a very memorable movie I've seen numerous times over the years, should definitely give it a go if you've never seen it.
Called my mom right away to thank her again for giving me birth in the early 80's to have the possibility to participate/enjoy all the masterpieces created in the 80's, 90's and 2000's. M.A.G.I.C.A.L Peace!
Whenever I hear this, I think of house-partys, copious amounts of drugs, friends, strangers, djs, more drugs, girlfriends, being sick, police, walking home absolutely fucked and sheer paranoia. I miss the 90's so much.
I can confirm that working behind a really busy bar with this blasting when the “shouting lager, lager, lager” bit comes on it’s an unbelievable buzz!!
Wow! I dont know anyone else that can keep up with the lyrics to born slippy. Man, back in the 90's, everything Underworld touched turned to gold. Miss the 90's. Creativity, style, music, and people were better back then......(god I'm old now 😂)
I'm 46... I just heard and watched this amazing song... two things happened: I traveled in time to better times when dancing to this was the present; and second... now I want to purchase some lights like the ones used in this stage to use in my studio room while listening again to this song full volume blasting!!... my wife is not going to like this new amazing idea... 😁
Just awesome. Captures a moment in time in the Boardwalk Manchester. It takes me back and to tears sometimes when I hear this. Dry ice, massive base, hands in the air. The smell, the wet walls, the feeling of it hitting your chest. Euphoric and just perfect. I’ll never forget it .
Back in the days I remember every time I went out at the weekends this song would be played and the dance floor would be is packed. The good old days 💃🕺🎶
To anyone who are in their 20’s - live every single day to the best of your ability because you will never have those days back, ever. Yeah you might think you can carry on into your 30’s but you don’t. I swear, live each day like it’s your last day on Earth! This tune is my 20’s and I smile every time I hear it because of the fun I had back then. Dam, dancing to this at 3am in a nightclub somewhere / anywhere. Tuneeeeee
I was blessed enough to be on the night club scene when this amazing song came out. listening to It in the dark with a cold one in your hand and thinking about the rest of the 90s It was an instinct hit and has be apart of people's lives and the song gets better with age.
I was fortunate enough to see Underworld play the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall twice - once in April 2017 and the next time in June 2019. I'd say they were two of my greatest concert experiences of all time - just mind meltingly good. The visuals, the laser lights and the people = A++ experience. I think Underworld are gods of dance and electronic music. They are true masters of these genres. Its shocking how more people don't know about them - especially people my age (I'm 26 now). They are criminally underrated. I feel that with each show that they have an amazing ability to create an escapist atmosphere. You feel locked into being in the moment, dancing to the groove of songs like Two Months Off, Dark & Long (Dark Train) and Jumbo. I love watching Karl dancing while Rick coordinates the music. It was the most incredible feeling watching them close each show with Born Slippy. There was 10 minutes of my life at each show when I forgot about all the other shit happening in my life and embraced being in the moment with 2,000 other people in the room. It was incredibly special. I've seen many incredible artists and bands play in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall including Bon Iver, Air, Fleet Foxes, The Stone Roses, Hot Chip, Death Cab For Cutie and Brian Wilson. They are all amazing in their own right. Underworld would take the gold medal though for their sheer uniqueness and transcending performances.
I think a lot has to do with the fact Karl was training to be an artist and Rick was training to be an electrical engineer, when they formed. Karl is definitely a visual artist, Rick is a master music technician.
I was all over this first time around………….62 now and it still frickin ‘bangs’. This and ‘King of snake 🐍’ (live) are two of my favourite tracks. Probably have this at my funeral 😮
I can almost remember every single place and time I've danced on this track. Which is remarkable considering the hazy circumstances back in the day. What a timetraveller! 💎🤙🏽

I recommend a book for you, it's titled "The Extra Ordinary Life Of Frank Derrick Aged 81" by Jim Bob Morrison from the band Carter USM (remember them?)
I was 11 or 12 when this tune dropped....it still hits when I'm almost 40, DAMN! Look at how much they believe in this song!!! It carries over!!! omg THIS is why i love this music so much WOW
Son: "Dad what was the best thing about 90's rave culture? ...the music, the people, the drugs, the dancing, the mornings, the hugs or the temporary sense of intense connectedness to fellow human beings?" Dad: yes
The 90's was just an incredible time to be alive. Being 18 in 96 was unbelievable, Music, Euro 96, Adidas California t shirts, Adidas Gazelles, Drugs! Blissful times.
Always running, running, towards this fantastic tomorrow, towards this freedom, running and never looking back, going further and higher..... Born slippy 💙
Nothing will compare to this hitting on the dance floor when you are on the verge of passing out, and pushing to dance like a mad lad. That drop. You go for it, everything starts to white out. Then that sweet sweet piano hits you stare at the lights, the tab you had washed away... You spread your arms. Fucking tune.
That moment when the keyboard, piano solo rings out on it's own!! Captures such an eara of musical discouvery! Then,....? Lost for words,? Brilliant, thanks so much, Born Slippy!!❤😂😮😊
I saw them do this live at Glasto 2016 nd it still brings tears to my eyes (I'm a sentimental old 74-year old) to recall the sheer joy of that crowd. The 'hands in the air' moments! Wow!!!
I'm 71 now and have loved music since my teens, but the dance music and rave culture of the 90's has always been the most magical times of my life.
cool
I'm only 56! Saw them at a Mega-Dog at Leeds Poly, everyone had their tops off. Was proper mashed.

would love to meet you on the dancefloor!

🤪
Hairs standing up on the back or my neck. Forever and always with this song
Yes! Gives me flashbacks lol😃😃😃😃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Same here , totally euphoric.
One of the most iconic TUNES of all time!!!
I can confirm that working behind a really busy bar with this blasting when the “shouting lager, lager, lager” bit comes on it’s an unbelievable buzz!!
LOL GRAZY DUDE BRE
the best dance track ever.
one of the best for sure
Two words
BLUE
MONDAY
The look of joy on the artistes faces says it all. I feel euphoric every time I hear this track . Love , bonding and connection.
55 and raving all around my living room. The end bit of Trainspotting always pops in my head when I'm listening to this banging tune 🫶
Wow! I dont know anyone else that can keep up with the lyrics to born slippy. Man, back in the 90's, everything Underworld touched turned to gold. Miss the 90's. Creativity, style, music, and people were better back then......(god I'm old now 😂)
I’m writing a book listening to this, crying for joy, for nostalgia, wishing I wasn’t so jaded about life, taking everything for granted.
26 years and still a BANGER!
Sheer energy and mind-blowing ecstasy!
I'm 46... I just heard and watched this amazing song... two things happened: I traveled in time to better times when dancing to this was the present; and second... now I want to purchase some lights like the ones used in this stage to use in my studio room while listening again to this song full volume blasting!!... my wife is not going to like this new amazing idea... 😁
Say to the wife i knew this before i knew you 😆
Happy days my friend💯✌️
Rather purchase something else
I'm 64. Just fired this up on the Tube. People tapping away smiling. Timeless tune
Just awesome. Captures a moment in time in the Boardwalk Manchester. It takes me back and to tears sometimes when I hear this. Dry ice, massive base, hands in the air. The smell, the wet walls, the feeling of it hitting your chest. Euphoric and just perfect. I’ll never forget it .
He knew what they came for, and gave them 10 mins from a 6 min track, fair play!
He sounds GREAT live!!!!!
Respect. He sure does ))))
Back in the days I remember every time I went out at the weekends this song would be played and the dance floor would be is packed. The good old days 💃🕺🎶
65 years old and this still sets me on fire. Just gotta jive ...absolutely love it
58, know what you mean…😵💫
To anyone who are in their 20’s - live every single day to the best of your ability because you will never have those days back, ever. Yeah you might think you can carry on into your 30’s but you don’t. I swear, live each day like it’s your last day on Earth!
This tune is my 20’s and I smile every time I hear it because of the fun I had back then. Dam, dancing to this at 3am in a nightclub somewhere / anywhere. Tuneeeeee
This is up there with the best songs of all time
I was blessed enough to be on the night club scene when this amazing song came out. listening to It in the dark with a cold one in your hand and thinking about the rest of the 90s It was an instinct hit and has be apart of people's lives and the song gets better with age.
I was fortunate enough to see Underworld play the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall twice - once in April 2017 and the next time in June 2019. I'd say they were two of my greatest concert experiences of all time - just mind meltingly good. The visuals, the laser lights and the people = A++ experience. I think Underworld are gods of dance and electronic music. They are true masters of these genres. Its shocking how more people don't know about them - especially people my age (I'm 26 now). They are criminally underrated.
I feel that with each show that they have an amazing ability to create an escapist atmosphere. You feel locked into being in the moment, dancing to the groove of songs like Two Months Off, Dark & Long (Dark Train) and Jumbo. I love watching Karl dancing while Rick coordinates the music.
It was the most incredible feeling watching them close each show with Born Slippy. There was 10 minutes of my life at each show when I forgot about all the other shit happening in my life and embraced being in the moment with 2,000 other people in the room. It was incredibly special.
I've seen many incredible artists and bands play in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall including Bon Iver, Air, Fleet Foxes, The Stone Roses, Hot Chip, Death Cab For Cutie and Brian Wilson. They are all amazing in their own right. Underworld would take the gold medal though for their sheer uniqueness and transcending performances.
I think a lot has to do with the fact Karl was training to be an artist and Rick was training to be an electrical engineer, when they formed. Karl is definitely a visual artist, Rick is a master music technician.
@@drey8 Its amazing that their training has translated so well to their sound and image.
The world make no Sense , without this, without music. Thanks for all the Great times with Electronic Music.
Speechless. Cinematic. Soundtrack of a lifetime
I was all over this first time around………….62 now and it still frickin ‘bangs’. This and ‘King of snake 🐍’ (live) are two of my favourite tracks. Probably have this at my funeral 😮
Had many a wild and euphoric moment when this classic played on the dancefloor, best times so lucky to have been a part of it.
I can almost remember every single place and time I've danced on this track. Which is remarkable considering the hazy circumstances back in the day. What a timetraveller! 💎🤙🏽
What a great time to be alive 😊
what a legends! incredible live version
Lyrics
Drive boy dive boy
Dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy
She was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy
And tears boy
And all in your inner space boy
You had
Hand girls boy
And steel boy
You had chemicals boy
I've grown so close to you
Boy and you just groan boy
She said come over come over
She smiled at you boy
Drive boy dive boy
Dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy
She was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy
And tears boy
And all in your inner space boy
You had
Hand girls boy
And steel boy
You had chemicals boy
I've grown so close to you
Boy and you just groan boy
She said come over come over
She smiled at you boy.
Let your feelings slip boy
But never your mask boy
Random blonde bio high density random
Blonde boy blonde country blonde high density
You are my drug boy
You're real boy
Speak to me and boy dog
Dirty numb cracking boy
You geting wet boy
Big big time boy
Acid bear boy
Babes and babes and babes and babes and babes
And remembering nothing boy
You like my tear hole boy
It gets Wet like an angel
Derailed
You got a velvet mouth
You're so succulent and beautiful
Shimmering and dirty
Wonderful and hot times
On your telephone line
And god and everything
On your telephone
And in walks an angel
And look at me mum
Squatting pissed in a tube-
Hole at Tottenham Court Road
I just come out of The Ship
Talking to the most
Blonde I ever met
Shouting
Lager lager lager lager
Shouting
Lager lager lager lager
Shouting...
Lager lager lager
Shouting
Mega mega white thing
Mega mega white thing
Mega mega white thing
Mega mega
Shouting lager lager lager lager
Mega mega white thing

So many things to see and do
In the tube hole true
Blonde going back to Romford
Mega mega mega going back to Romford
How am I at having fun
I know why you're on your way
To a new tension
Headache
Gob bless you men
Have sang mostly different lyrics to this throughout my life. Mad to see the real? words.
Take a bow sir
Aparently I made my own lyrics up hahahh
Absolute poetry , it’s genius
When I'm old and in a care home I don't want them playing Vera Llyne, I want Underworld and Born Slippy!
yes !!!
I think aged care homes in 20 years time should be equipped with an in-house sound system, a strobe and a smoke machine
@@theparkestreetsocial2160 as standered 😂
Haha care homes in the future are gonna be fucking mad
I recommend a book for you, it's titled "The Extra Ordinary Life Of Frank Derrick Aged 81" by Jim Bob Morrison from the band Carter USM (remember them?)
I was 11 or 12 when this tune dropped....it still hits when I'm almost 40, DAMN! Look at how much they believe in this song!!! It carries over!!! omg THIS is why i love this music so much WOW
the best born slippy perform ever !!
I saw Underworld at Wasing recently, i have loved them from the first time i heard them, seeing them live has given me the strength to carry on
Saw them in Halifax a few weeks ago, they were on top form.
This song is beautiful beyond words
Still an ultimate fave, get lost in it with earbuds. Running. Gym. Etc....these guys are amazing!!!
Son: "Dad what was the best thing about 90's rave culture? ...the music, the people, the drugs, the dancing, the mornings, the hugs or the temporary sense of intense connectedness to fellow human beings?"
Dad: yes
@@jibbajabba4712 I had some blue vans ,still got them best shoes ive ever owned!!
That was and still is, astonishingly good. Some of the best and most iconic chords ever recorded in modern music.
The hairs on your back when that stage first lights up... imagine feeling it there live.. Amazing
The 90's was just an incredible time to be alive. Being 18 in 96 was unbelievable, Music, Euro 96, Adidas California t shirts, Adidas Gazelles, Drugs! Blissful times.
1996….. greatest year oh my life. Born 77. 18. College. Music. Drugs. Lager. Football. Giles. Amazing.
Timeless classic what a tune makes me feel like a young lad again still rocks today even fantastic
Always running, running, towards this fantastic tomorrow, towards this freedom, running and never looking back, going further and higher.....
Born slippy 💙
Nothing will compare to this hitting on the dance floor when you are on the verge of passing out, and pushing to dance like a mad lad. That drop.
You go for it, everything starts to white out.
Then that sweet sweet piano hits you stare at the lights, the tab you had washed away...
You spread your arms.
Fucking tune.
For me, this was the ANTHEM of the decade. Along with the film, this band did was epic.
That moment when the keyboard, piano solo rings out on it's own!! Captures such an eara of musical discouvery! Then,....? Lost for words,? Brilliant, thanks so much, Born Slippy!!❤😂😮😊
If this song doesnt give you goosebumps your not human
Speechless! just speechless! so many memories millions of us can all relate too.
what a great tune and love reading through these nostalgic comments.
He understood the sense of life. Timeless tune. Tears of joy and redemption...
I saw them do this live at Glasto 2016 nd it still brings tears to my eyes (I'm a sentimental old 74-year old) to recall the sheer joy of that crowd. The 'hands in the air' moments! Wow!!!
