Cerys Matthews is one of those artists who for me, aches the heart to see/hear her perform. In good company with Stevie Nicks and Kate Bush. Completely captivating, a signature voice-I easily loose an hour or more anytime I reach for Catatonia. I have to be careful.
What an underrated little classic this song is. Possibly my favourite off of International Velvet (tied with Strange Glue), it's a lot of fun and a good video too.
I havnt thought of this band in years but I just caught the end of the first Godfather movie on tv, and seeing Luca Brasi's name in the credits instantly made which made me think of this great track. Now I'm gonna be revisiting the rest of International Velvet and enjoying Cerys's vocals once again.
Luca Brasi, apparently, was a character (or the name of the real actor?! can't remember now) in the italian tv series "LA PIOVRA", famous teleseries about mafia stuff... ^_^
'Luca Brasi - he sleeps with the fishes'! Cool - I'm just watching The Godfather (part 1)and had to pause to remind myself of this brilliant song! As for the horse's head in the bed - yuk!
I like it when she holds a hand up with a finger up-raised early on in this video. I don't know, can't use, any words to **~~ ~~((: :))... the cave or in dwelling depth she sings from in this song.
Yes, I love Gillian and the X-files a lot! X-Files is my favorite show. All my friends are so annoyed because it is all I talk about. And yes, they both rock!
What a great song! Haven't heard it for years. I remember seeing Catatonia live before they got too polished and Cerys started singing with bloody Tom Jones. A good live band.
I cannot be the only one who thinks it is ironic that there is a Norwegian Doom Death metal band called "Katatonia"? Imagine getting them and this band mixed up
Actually, they're a Swedish progressive rock/metal band - and they make quite lovely (as in, not at all heavy) music. You should check out their "Idle Blood" - it's here on TH-cam, somewhere...
That's nothing, when I was on holiday in France I went to see blur, but it turned out to be that boyband called blue :( (It's a terrible joke, but it is my own.)
Great tune. Can be done acoustic or heavier than original. I`m sure this song will be covered a few times. The lyrics could`ve used a few adjustments so it wasn`t so cheesey, but is a great song.
The girl fell over, did she need to have bandage? I fall after. She likes riding horse. Put horses head in your bed. That was funny line. She is the mob. But she is upset because he sleeps with the bitches, makes her jealous. That is why she is shouting at the cows and sheep and horses that run away from her. The police come in helicopter to shoot everyone in the band. So they all run home. Rather than keeping a noise. Cerys looks bored playing cards.
Amazing song but my god - they could have done such a great video with this song. Great song - terrible video, and i freaking love these lyrics, great imagination Cerys XD
I need to sleep but I'm having too much fun watching 90's music vids. I miss the 90's
same here. Feb 2020!
literally me right now
Know the feeling, it happens often. 😂
Fantastic song by Catatonia back in the good ol days, loved it. And Cerys really roars the lyrics out on this one, awesome band.
best opening line of any song ever!!!!!
The rest of the lines aren't half bad either! "Stop blowing the Don, put his keks back on" is cleverer than me on on a good day.
Slava Cymru!
makes liam gallagher look like a choir boy

Delores O'Riordan too.
Love these lyrics. Not scared to be different.
"Stop blowing the don - put his kecks back on"
What a band. They can write top tunes, play well and Cerys is certainty easy on the eye. 🏴
Cerys is far more than that she is drop dead gorgeous
OMG I Love This Song
What an underrated little classic this song is. Possibly my favourite off of International Velvet (tied with Strange Glue), it's a lot of fun and a good video too.
Great times indeed, saw them live at brixton academy in 99. very muched missed.
“ I put horses heads in peoples beds cause I am a knooooooob” 🤣
Best comment ever
Such a brilliant song.

this is the most welsh vid i've ever seen
faye ??
Though i think the locale is actually Scotland.
Anthony Scaife No, why do you think there's so many sheep.
Interesting Username coz it’s the highlands duh
@@alexmacleod3728 it could be South Wales Pembrokeshire.
@@jambutty2218 It was done in Scotland, I just googled it lol
That´s great, she is great, THANK YOU
I love the Luca Brasi refrain
I spent several years addicted to her alley cat yowl.... It never wears out its welcome.
😊 this makes me smile 🌈
Been having a Catatonia revisit recently, god i fucking love this band!
Cerys for president.......of F.I.F.A.
love catatonia 😍
stop mucking around with the brand new sound, cause I AM THE MOB
masterpiece.
She was just so cute 😍
Passion from the valleys go on Catatonia.
AMAZING.
Legend Of A Song
Amazing song and band
Golden-era Britpop sound.
proud to be welsh🏴🏴
Finally!! Great
Easter bunny, c'mon
Why did they leave us ?
Great band
increibleee!!!!
that shaky sov filled fist doesn't threaten much when waved from the heather so perhaps, ma'am, you'll allow me to raise you
GREAT SONG !!
Great
I'm glad I'm not the only one who appreciates the classics!
miss those glories days..
I love how the video is mostly just the band dicking around around outside. Awesome X
Fucking love this track.
Character from The Godfather. You can guess his fate in the book/film from the whole 'he sleeps with the fishes' remark.
Luca Brasi, apparently, was a character (or the name of the real actor?! can't remember now) in the italian tv series "LA PIOVRA", famous teleseries about mafia stuff...
^_^
Wonderfull song. Cerys 😍
PURE. PIGGIN'. BRILLIANCE.
whoooo yeah!
'Luca Brasi - he sleeps with the fishes'! Cool - I'm just watching The Godfather (part 1)and had to pause to remind myself of this brilliant song! As for the horse's head in the bed - yuk!
Yaki da boyo. Love Whales....... ;_) Keris has the voice of an ANGEL.
I've always heard "you come and see how he sleeps with the fishes". Wikipedia claims "That Luca Brasi: ah, he sleeps with the fishes".
Anthony Scaife - that’s right. Pivotal part of The Godfather. Great book and a great film too. Luca Brasi is Vito Corleone’s enforcer.

Never seen The Godfather. Or Star Wars, The Matrix, Silence of The Lambs ...
You shood come & watch ' Silence of the lambs'…
I AM THE MOB
Fuckin belter of a tune !
I like it when she holds a hand up with a finger up-raised early on in this video. I don't know, can't use, any words to **~~ ~~((: :))... the cave or in dwelling depth she sings from in this song.
Ah, tell them. Just tell them.
Yes, I love Gillian and the X-files a lot! X-Files is my favorite show. All my friends are so annoyed because it is all I talk about. And yes, they both rock!
Wrong song

What a great song! Haven't heard it for years. I remember seeing Catatonia live before they got too polished and Cerys started singing with bloody Tom Jones. A good live band.

@aaronmonkeylover they are from wales. they are dispanded now though
Catatonia were extremely popular in the 90s.
she is so pretty cool song
What a fucking tune!
@kerker1950 Apparently it's actually about Warners, their record company at the time, dicking them around. It's not really about gangsters.
few years gone...we ate the mob xxx
classic line .... waiting for my sons to ask what it means as they sing it loud :)
I am the mob her best track by for me
thats the shit right there !!!!!
@LucianaShadow where are they from. I love randomly finding music on you tube

Good drinkin' song

Mushees
Who is Luca Brasi?
He is a character in "The Godfater"; one of Vito Corleone's men.
Oh G-d, I LOVE this song. Owen's face when he finds the shroom is epic.
And Cerys is fat? What the fuck are you smoking? She looks normal to me!
@dancebabe07xX hell, you haven't seen Godfather?
i put horses heads in peoples beds !
Whatever you're on, I want some
This video makes me want to go to Scotland, to run with the sheeps, or to sleep with the fishes... :D
Scotland Is Truly Amazing In The Countryside
Great tune. Can be done acoustic or heavier than original. I`m sure this song will be covered a few times. The lyrics could`ve used a few adjustments so it wasn`t so cheesey, but is a great song.
i didnt say it was shit, i said it was THE SHIT!!!!! meaning great.
i forgot how fucking nuts cerys was
@Davidflamingo october 1997 :D
Elliphant sounds just like catonia

Superb
its common american slang that is now popular internationally, i'm surprised you've never heard it before! how about " the dogs bollocks"?

Find me a more perfect pop song this and I'll eat my red and white tea towel !
I want you back by the Jackson five or be my baby by the ronettes.
Amazing song but my god - they could have done such a great video with this song. Great song - terrible video, and i freaking love these lyrics, great imagination Cerys XD
Too bad they were so bent on being radio friendly. Their rock songs like this one and Immediate Circle are amazing.
Ha ha ha ha @darkpolarlight
