Back in the 80s my mom was an alcoholic, and you better believe she jammed out to this song almost every car trip. She used to pass out in my room while I was playing and wouldn’t wake up for anything, scaring the crap out of 6-year old me. Thankfully, she’s been sober since the mid-90s and is an awesome person whom I love to death.
My dad used to love this song, even if he didnt know what all those words meant, he felt the music! It reminds me of him and how awesome and cool he was. Now that i understand the lyrics i wish he was here so i could teach him the words and we could sing it together.
What makes you think he didn't know? I would hate if my kids thought I didn't know certain things just because they grew up and finally figured it out 😂
My jaw is on the floor! Im 37 and i would have swore the lead singers were not as white as me. The jamaican music just calls me!!. An as a little girl this song made me so happy. Id be dancing my ass off!!
Why can’t this come back so my generation and others to come can experience real music! Not a band I know today is completely live like this. Much loce
One of the most genius lyrics i've ever heard, The part where astro comes in and Ali and robin sings meanwhile or behind his rap is absolutely phenomenal.
As far as I know this is the only song in history who got to number 1 after being played live 5 years later after it's release. That's how good this version is
I first heard this song when I was 9 years old and it was my favorite. It evokes sadness, disappointment, resignation, acceptance, humor, optimism...and much more.
Not only one of the greatest reggae bands ever, they're also one of the greatest multi cultural groups ever. Truly talented. They're up there with the likes of The Wailers, Inner Circle, Third World, and Burning Spear.
UB40.......Love that British group who openmindedly chose "reggae" ....gotta give the Brits credit for daring to "explore!".....for embracing different genres, embracing reggae music...look at their reggae concerts...tells a story one yet has to see here in the USofA! And yes, the gum-chewing lends reality to reggae's down-to- earth lyrics...Yah maan!
As a Trade union activists I congratulate the forty unemployed boys UB40 upon fighting unemployment through creativity and drama. I encourage all others to follow suit
Quelle belle chanson.... Merci d'avoir accompagné le monde entier avec cette magnifique chanson. Quelle belle équipe, avec une grande complicité professionnelle, ça fait rêver..... Et la foule qui ne cesse de danser sur place, debout, un bonheur d'être présent à un spectacle rempli de joie.... Une chanson immortelle. Merci du fond du cœur ❤de nous avoir partagé ce bonheur. 🇫🇷👏🙏👍❤️❤️❤️
Sooooo many good peoples in there .. thanks for one of my best song of my life. I am 1988 born and this one is part of me. Be good all of you peoples. Have a nice day!!
Felipe García No, he's just mistaken. If you are old enough to remember ABC's Schoolhouse Rock, "I'm Just a Bill", (or The Simpson's parody, "I'm An Amendment To Be"), I had always had visions of a stereotypical black blues singer riffing in a recording studio. It was only a couple of years ago that I did some Googling and found that #1.) The original and parody versions were indeed sung by the same artist - Jack Sheldon (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Sheldon); and #2.) He is a well known jazz artist and isn't black. (Damn... I wish I had the Web when I was a kid and could look things up on a whim )
I'm still here in 2021. My understanding of where the name for this group came from is they used to meet up in the Unemployment Benefits office and fill out Form UB40. That was the cover of the first album. Is this true? Love this sound!! Never gets old.
The band's name is UB40. Named after a British unemployment benefit form, pop-reggae band UB40 were formed in a welfare line in 1978, after a few jamming sessions a friend suggested the name cause not of the members had a job.
el mejor regee de los 80 hasta nuestros tiempos, todavía esta agrupación británica tiene mucha que darle a sus seguidores. ojala vengan a Colombia algún día compi.
I love this song to bits. I played it over and over and again and again while I was travelling on an Ethiopian Airlines aeroplane going on holiday to my home country, Zimbabwe, from Heathrow Airport to Harare. It is such a beautiful song and very relaxing while travelling in an aeroplane. I also enjoyed this UB40 band's perfomance in Harare, Zimbabwe some years ago at our Sports Stadium in Harare. The Stadium was fully packed and many many young people from our neighbouring countries like South Africa, Zambia etc also came to seen the band.
Bons momentos, te relembra um passado sem malícia, maldades e de muita curtição, sair sem ter medo, curtir a madruga, aproveitar os amigos.....eramos feliz e não sabíamos.....Saudades bons tempos

Thats beautiful. My Mom used to love this. It reminds me of her. Sometimes music is just music and if he loved it then its all about music
How sad ,but also sweet
My jaw is on the floor! Im 37 and i would have swore the lead singers were not as white as me. The jamaican music just calls me!!. An as a little girl this song made me so happy. Id be dancing my ass off!!

Rip astro i will sure miss your wonderful voice.
Now I know who he was. RIP Astro.
He’s not even dead
RIP Brian Travers as well
The singer of UB40 is dead Jesus I had no idea.RIP ASTRO .I had no idea that was his name but UB40 were great 👍.
'78 baby here. The music of my generation is still rockin'.❤🔥

Neil Diamond
U ain't lying
10 yrs down the line, a Kenyan is dancing to this tune. 🕺🕺🕺💖💖
Undoubtedly the best live version of this song.
Chewing that gum like a true OG.
fr tho just saw it, singing like a god and chewing is a nothing for this guy. clean mastermind moves right here
Soundtrack of early eighties! Mine att least. Minus the gum.
@@Mounutt Like the gum.
It probably keeps his mouth moist during the whole concert (nothing dirty intended lol)
He looks like a red haired Billy idol but for reggae instead
This song literally made my day today after a long day of B's at work!!! Put me in the right mood so quick 😂😆😁😅
Isn't work all about bs? I've learned to live with it.
What agood old days ,
Chewing gum and singing...that's how laid back was this band! Love them!
Red Red ♥️♥️ wine 🍷 feels like he's doing this song now... can't believe am listening 🎧 to this even in 2023 and enjoying...
South African , Australian , and Jamaican Caribbean mixed . This song calms me down . I love it .
My momma’s song. Rest In Peace momma.
I grew up listening to this song...loving it but also hearing it with the Jamaica vibe here, I've been to Jamaica....he does it justice.....
Can’t help but smile as I watch this video.
R.I.P Astro (The guy that did the rap in this song) You would always be remembered for generations to come. UB40 and the name Astro go together.
Crazy to google this song and Bob Marley gets the credit for the rap. I guess people think all Rasta's look the same. RIP Bob and Astro. 😢
Ńmmmmmmmmmmm
If you're watching this in 2021, I love you and you're not alone.
Sorry i am watching this in 2024 😂
Chewing that gum like a true OG.
I love this song. I listen to this song at least once in every 2 weeks
Why he achew de gum all de time.
I could listen to this song all day...I love it.
I Do

Why don't you then ?
One of the greatest Reggae bands of all time!RESPECT & MAD LOVE from KENYA. Long live UB40

I love this song. I listen to this song at least once in every 2 weeks
this song just takes me on the morning on Nasese Bus to School with the cool wind on your face and nodding to the rhythm of the music.
Huahinine ride
Pound by pound best reggae band, thanks UB40.
you wouldn't expect that cool voice to come out of that white, redheaded, clean cut guy, right?
lindissimaaaass
This is corny AF to literally copy and paste someone elses exact comment from 4 years ago at that.
Just the smile kills me
Best Reggae Song for ever
I am grateful I got to experience this group in concert. Loved them since I discovered them at 15 years old.
This dude's confidence is SPECIAL. Love it.
Love that song never gets old...never thought it was a white man singing back in the day🤷🏽♂️
This is the very first song i remember when i first met my husband back in 92, happy memories
This fellow displays quite an air of confidence. He is a lot of fun to watch and has a great voice❤️ Not many like him IMHO
Astro willed be sadly missed!
I love this band. There is something about the beats that makes you want to jump up and dance. I love that Jamaican accent. You guys are great.
Absolutely, roots, rocking, reggae music 🎶 and that's the reason why! It hits and you move!
One of my favorite songs of all time!!
Rest well Astro, we'll miss ya mate.
June 2024 and it still sounds awesome !!🍷😎🎶🎵🎼🎤🎧
I first heard this song when I was 9 years old and it was my favorite. It evokes sadness, disappointment, resignation, acceptance, humor, optimism...and much more.

no I thought Bob Marley sang this song
+Bryce Collins Really? I don't think they sound alike.
+Sarcastically Deranged if you listen to the original with the picture you'd see what I mean
+Charles Pruett redheads are just hot!! HOT..
Bryce Collins The original was written by Neil Diamond. Marley didn't do a cover of this.
Con chicle en la boca cantando tremendo tema, buenísima

Red red wine pertenece a Neil Diamond.

U racist

Lariconi Chillax, it was just an ironic troller.. ;)
That was in 1988....32 year years ago....Just simple like it
Amazing song I love the part at 3:28 when Astro sing and Robin sing together Just amazing one of the greatest Songs from alltime

Tem um bom gosto Musical
Still chewing gum and sounds as good as he did on this video, nearly 40 years in the music business, and happy with said gum.
Remind me when I was young amazing song
My grandad died but he love this song
