In the years before TH-cam, I watched the closing credits of "Some Kind of Wonderful" (recorded from TV on VHS tape) hundreds of times, just to hear this song.
Guys! Why didn't you buy the soundtrack? One of the best of the 80's! This song was recorded to many a mixed tape by yours truly, always to raves by the recipients.
@@olliojenarter You're right, because that's exactly why I bought the soundtrack to "So I Married an Axe Murderer." So I could have both versions of "There She Goes" by The La's and The Boo Radleys."
Who is watching in 2024? This movie was more than 30 years ago and reminds me of my everything, love, stupidity, energy and more. I love this song and movie that used this song a lot
Just finished watching Some Kind of Wonderful for about the thousandth time. Love it. At one point I collected every cover I could find of Can’t Help Falling in Love. This is still one of my faves…
I just remembered that there was a catchy, fantastic song in the end credits of the movie "Some kind of wonderful" and this brought me to this song exactly 32 years later...wow!
Probably THE best! John Hughes was an absolute genius director. More than any other, his movies are a literal time machine so we can always get that 80's feeling with the music, styles, school, etc.
This is my hubby's and my love song. Both of us have a nostalgic love for 80s film and music yet neither had watched Some King of Wonderful till we were dating in 2020. When we were discussing getting married, hubby said that this is the song he thinks about when he believed he was first falling in love with me because he was so surprised to have met someone who had the same interests and tastes as well as same beliefs. He's not a romantic fellow, but that made my little soul do a jig.
I was 13 in 1987 watching Some Kind of Wonderful in the theater. I LOVED the movie and instantly fell in love with this song when it came on during the closing credits.
In fact this is one more cover of Elvis's version that is already a cover of French 18th century song "Plaisir d'Amour". Not bad that having been said.
I was 31, with my wife and new born son, somehow he slept through the whole movie but he woke up and started screaming through the credits and I was forced to leave during this song playing and it stuck with me. I had long forgotten where I first heard this version but I found it tonight. The movie is a good one, after all John Hughes, how could it not be good, right? However, I will watch again tonight, but I saw your comment and had to say something.
@@garyd3312 'tis Celtic, it sure is. Welsh at the very least, but I always thought the style was patently Irish, and that she had an Irish accent. Like her accent shows deliberately sounding Irish, where English singers generally are hard to differentiate from American singers.
Finally found the original video! I smile whenever I hear this song from SKOW which I saw in the theater back in '87. Thanks to Mr. Hughes for picking such eclectic music to score his movies or I may have never heard this. The entire soundtrack is a treat.
I love this song, I'm 14 again.... I'm glad for happy memories and super happy to see those who also appreciated this song and "Some Kind of Wonderful"
Just the voice was original. In fact this is one more cover of Elvis's version that is already a cover of French 18th century song "Plaisir d'Amour". Not bad that having been said.
I knew i had heard an Irish version of this song from a movie and i got my answer here ‘Some kind of wonderful’ yeah, this is probably the best cover I’ve heard, happy 😊
Never liked the original Elvis but, fell in love with this rendition. First heard from the movie Some Kind of Wonderful as well. I bought the CD. If I remember correctly had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it. Couldn't find it back in the 90s here in the US. I think I had to order it from the band itself. Glad they put it up on TH-cam.
"Georgie F***ing Bugress!!! Jesus, the c***'s older than I am!!!!!!" I've seen the film so many time, yet I still crack up laughing at Jimmy's reaction in this scene...
To be fair, I'd be the same were I to be in his situation, but my "Dublin sense of humor" gets the better of me and I laugh my ass off instead of having sympathy for him...
I remember seeing this on Saturday morning tv in the uk in the 80s and loved it but never saw the record in any shops! Months later I found the 12 inch of Belle of Belfast City by them in the bargain bin and it included a free 7” single of this song! All for 50p
Great Song..Never saw the video until now.. I think its a great video..remember this was a poor Celtic rock group in the mid '80..Fits the bill perfectly
To tell the truth this is one more cover of Elvis's version that is already a cover of French 18th century song "Plaisir d'Amour". Not bad that having been said.

This by Lick The Tins & Dream Academy - "Life In A Northern Town" evoke memories of a great time in my life. I don't ever "wish I could go back" but I was having a lot of fun.
I have been searching every now and again for this version for some 35 years, as unbelievable as that might seem, but yeah really. I saw the movie "Some Kind of Wonderful" in the late 80's and had to rush off before I could see the end credits, then life got in the way with 5 kids coming up from '87 to '95 and then I forgot what movie it was in. However, I always remembered this girls up tempo voice with those lyrics. Then just tonight, Halloween '24, I thought I would check again. Kept finding the old and slow versions, so I tried a different approach look for movies the song was used in, then low and behold there was a footnote on Wikipedia that referenced this version. Case closed and I have it now.
I have listened to this song several times a day since I first discovered it a few weeks ago. Pure delight. And, yes, I found it from watching Some Kind is Wonderful.
Loved the movie and bought the soundtrack cassette the next day back when I was in highschool. With the name Keith, I had the biggest crushes on both Mary Stuart and Lea. Ha. I have actually run into Lea a few times in my home town of Santa Barbara and she is really nice.
This is kindof the problem of distributors getting to decide what we all get to listen to. Thank God for the information age. Wish this band was still playing. Love the sound. Best cut of this song ever IMO.

Me too. First time I've seen this video. Just always watched the end of Some Kind of Wonderful.
I always pictured a young traveller beside a pony singing that till I seen this

Peter Asai

Favorite version* There, I fixed that for ya!
Agreed! Best cover from the 1980. You may like the 2016 Cover on ATX InterCession13
Also used in The Snapper- a BRILLIANT Irish film! Perfect!
I love it. That last moment grabbing the beer was so damm irish, lol
Just watched the Snapper tonight because of this song and what an awesome film
That was, at the end of "The Snapper", such a lovely song, such a secret jewel of a movie.
Some kind of Wonderful
"You look good wearing my future."
"I didnt know Jenns lived in a hen house. Did you know Jenns lived in a house because i dont smell nothing but chicken s#@t."
Just watched it last night.
Just watched the film again and it's 2020
@@tparm now that sounds like a good thing to do today.
I will never tire of this version of the song. It's a truly fantastic interpretation of the original.
I agree. It's the best version out there.
And soooo much better than UB40s effort 🤮
I just remembered that there was a catchy, fantastic song in the end credits of the movie "Some kind of wonderful" and this brought me to this song exactly 32 years later...wow!

Fantastic voice and easily my favourite version of this song! Some Kind Of Wonderful is a brilliant movie! Duncan the Skinhead Rules!!
I LOVE HIM!
This is what my girlfriend looks like without skin. 😂
Hell yeah .
If you're going to cover a song, make it your own! Fantastic!!
I STILL am obsessed with this from 'Some Kind Of Wonderful', ever since I finally saw it circa 1994. Such a simple yet beautiful ending to a film!
Just love the end where Eric chases down Mary Stuart, she turns with that look of "OMG, this idiot figured it out!"

Was in a tiny pub in Dublin.. authentic Irish band, etc. They played this. I went nuts!
Blacks are "authentic" Irish? LOL
Jarrod Miller this band is an English Celtic band
@@thebigloc1 As an Irishman, I am claiming this as Irish tbh

Love this version, I think it was in the film 'The Snapper'
Irish music at it's best. Best version of this song.
SKOW❤️💕
Keith: “You look good wearing my future”
Watts: “I hoped. I didn’t know”
cry!
"You knew"
What a great rendition of this song, great vocals and rhythm! Beautiful Irish lass and a great band back in the day. Love it!!
She's English, but whatever.
Unless she's London Irish.
Don't think she plays rugby,though.
Thought she's a Manchester
@@chrishargreaves8016 Born in UK to Irish emigrants? London Irish.
She’s from Northern Ireland
Best cover of all.
Best version*
"You can't judge a book by its cover." - "No, but you can tell how much it's gonna cost you."
Love that line
Always seemed like pretty legitimate advice to me..

This track has been such a huge part of my life since seeing Some Kind Of Wonderful in the 80s. FINALLY I get to see the video. Out. Stand. Ing.
