I worked on this video over 30 years ago when acting as a Runner for the pop promo company MGMM who made it. Those were the days when pop videos cost over £300,000.
I have the the most loyal fan to this song, since the album came out in like 1984-5? Still loving it, and not so commercial!!!!! Do you guys love it too?
+Álvaro VanEgas - Song was written by George late 86' and released mid 87, also the Album itself was a bigger hit in Italy than Culture Club's epic Colour by Numbers, gotta love ya for loving' it , and yes, i'm SOLD!!!
That is an epic, chuck as much money at it, attempt to reclaim the UK and US charts, political 80s statement video there...phewwww!!!!!...Love it though...not sure B.G had a big hand in this or the previous vid as he looks a bit disconnected from it, like hes thinking 'this is what the label wants to ensure I get a big hit'
Lyrics / Letra Last night my mother said to me I'm sick of making history There's got to be a better way But we've got all these bills to pay And they ain't just gonna go away Like a factory - about to be shut down Another factory - about to be shut down Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold You're gonna like this one, you're gonna like this one I do See if Mr. Botha was a man He'd tip the hat, he'd pass the can But he don't talk for you and me I saw him on the BBC His eyes looked like a factory About to be shut down His eyes looked like a factory With the lights out - about to be shut down Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold Last night my mother said to me I'm sick of making history There's got to be a better way For you to be Last night my mother said to me When you grow up what will you be If not the white minority At least protect me I'm not a factory about to be shut down Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold Sold - There's got to be a better way than this
Who cares ( some of the comments made ) its history and a well constructed music video and George looks like hes commanding a revelution ... we've yet to get there ...
estos videos de los 80s eran SUPERPRODUCCIONES COMO PELICULAS DE HOLLYWOOD
This song, and the " sun city" are still relevant today. Who sell the soul?
¡Qué emoción! Volver a ver este video extraordinario. "Sold" es un álbum excelente al igual que toda la música de Boy George. ¡Gracias!
Una genialidad. El mejor tema de Boy George
I loved this track when it came out in 1987. It’s a brilliant song!!!
Me too.I was twelve then.Love from Nigeria ❤
Mr George BEST SOLO Tunage....EVER....Dat Chorus is H O T
Wow sounds so good in 2025 ❤️
I absolutely loved this when it came out. Still do. Still very relevant.
This is his most angriest and soulful song and definitely a strong opening song on his solo debut
I do remember No Clause 28 also.
Кто у нас в СССР тогда мог подумать, что эта песня станет реальностью...
Isso é a Cara do Fantástico da Época.Era ele quem Lançava. As vezes era a TV Manchete.

Are you able to confirm the location that was used? I'm assuming it's London Docklands, but don't know for sure.

Lyrics / Letra
Last night my mother said to me
I'm sick of making history
There's got to be a better way
But we've got all these bills to pay
And they ain't just gonna go away
Like a factory - about to be shut down
Another factory - about to be shut down
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
You're gonna like this one, you're gonna like this one
I do
See if Mr. Botha was a man
He'd tip the hat, he'd pass the can
But he don't talk for you and me
I saw him on the BBC
His eyes looked like a factory
About to be shut down
His eyes looked like a factory
With the lights out - about to be shut down
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Last night my mother said to me
I'm sick of making history
There's got to be a better way
For you to be
Last night my mother said to me
When you grow up what will you be
If not the white minority
At least protect me
I'm not a factory about to be shut down
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - There's got to be a better way than this
Triste.Isso acontece com todos os artistas.Influenciadores manipulados também.
Coincido Absolutamente !
You're gonna like this one! I do!
Anti-apartheid song!
Who cares ( some of the comments made ) its history and a well constructed music video and George looks like hes commanding a revelution ... we've yet to get there ...
Gotta be a better way to be than this!
Ini nyanyi kah bercakap??
It bombed cuz it was too advanced for its time
coiol ytack! and big budget clip!!! Nowdays nobody spend so much money for music clips
When people stopped buying records, the labels stopped spending on promotion. It's sad, but it's business.
@@Hammster69official yea it's sad
