George Michael really had a great sense of humor and a good head on his shoulders. I wish more people knew about this song/video because it’s honestly brilliant. RIP GM ❤️ the world needs more artists like you.
Everything he said in this song came true. He never wanted to be proved right and was merely trying to make people listen and understand. A forthright song that is both brilliant and satirical.
So much going on in this song, I can't believe I haven't heard it. It's got some BeeGees vibes, real disco funk. Modern twists too, some of the sound effects remind me of Scissor Sisters, I'm sure they took inspiration from George. There's a smoothness to it like MJs 90s R&B, and obviously the biggest component, George. This song is completely his, but it pays ode to all the things that make an unforgettable synth-pop, funky, disco track.
This video is hysterical and you have to admit the song has a catchy tune. I wish we had more people like George who stand on principles. The world would be a much better place. We really lost a lot when this guy's light was extinguished.
If the Beatles or Genesis did this-it would be praised everywhere. George’s genius was equally visionary. But way more courageous. God Bless George Michael
This vid is pretty much the Land of Confusion music video but for the early 2000s (down to the guest contribution of an ongoing satirical TV series from the UK, the scalding commentary of the global situation, and a US president as a frontman). There really little difference in the general tone, but it had the misfortune of being released in 2002 during the emotional highs of the WoT, an uphill battle. Had it come out 2-3 years later when reality set in, it could had been better remembered.
lol if the Beatles did this everybody’s brains would explode from trying to figure out why they made a sweet soulful synth pop tune out of nowhere… now Prince? *That* I could see
It might sound silly but this is one of the greatest George songs because of the message, the guts he had to make it and the song is actually good and funky and his voice is unmatched.
Another example of George's bravery. This song was labelled as career suicide when he released it, with practically ALL the main stream media castigating him and in many cases actually questioning his sanity. Fast forward to present day and who has been proved right....? A brave principled guy as well as an all time great artist and singer. This video (even with the crass censorship!) is hilarious and very very clever.
Paul Castle he was so spot on with this song! He mentioned in an interview that they called him naive for being so outspoken about this topic. His response was that he was not at all naive! You're right, he had the balls to do it!! ❤
@@what9009well it technically is “holy” stuff since it’s the justification Israel is running with. A “holy” text in a scripture of their religion gives them the right (according to them) to take ownership.
@@what9009if you watch one of his bbc interviews on the topic of iraq, he mentions that he understands that most islamic fundamentalist terrorists look to the unfair occupation of Palestinian land as a big source of hatred for europe and north america; even though the two groups might not necessarily be linked always.
Here's a man who should be alive today. RIP George, the man who brilliantly satirised the foreign policy of the US and UK - so not only a vocally talented man but a funny one too
He didn't only have the balls. He was an incredible intelligent individual with a great sense of humour besides having been an amazingly talented musician. What a tremendous loss the world has suffered. Most will never grasp it I'm afraid. :'(

Recently, almost all the songs performed by George have caused me sadness and tears, but this masterpiece is just a laugh. And also admiration for George's courage and insight. Great video!
I thought it was just me. I've been listening to him for the past 3 weeks all day every day. It brings me sadness, joy, and love, all at the same time. I miss him so.

World changed, and for the worse.
RIP George. Sad to see such a talented genius, and all-round lovely bloke, leave us, especially on Christmas Day. I hope that your family will be able to celebrate you every Xmas rather than find it impossible to celebrate due to grief. Bless you, Georgy.

I remember this clip was shown when we were waiting for George at one of his concerts in Amsterdam. He was very late, but we didn't mind. We just knew we were in for a hell of a treat. The best concert I've ever been to and I've been to dozens. Thank you for who you were, George. Apart from being one of the great singer/songwriters of all time, you were also a fantastic human being. xxx
I remember when this song & video originally came out. He was chastised by virtually everybody. Pretty much all sections of the press said he was unpatriotic and this was career suicide, that he was only a pop star who should keep his mouth shut about what was going on at the time. For me he was the only voice who was brave enough to say what was really going on and what was in my head was in others. For the first time I didn't feel i was the only sane one in the asylum. To do it with such humour and class is typical of the late great George Michael. He had something to say and had the balls to make his voice and mine heard for the first time. I'll always cherish this video as it was given to me as the best valentines day present ever. Thanku George Michael for being you. x
they called him unamerican which is stupid unamerican means not American like duh he is British LOL but they also said he was Anti American and that pissed me off and they referred to him as Pop's Pervert
This man was the most amazing man in the music industry. He was Unapologetic when he voiced his opinion through music or an interview and his honesty was so refreshing. I've listened to him since the first note when he was in Wham and I saw it on the top of the pops. I remained a loyal and dedicated fan since that moment. I'm so grateful for all the Fantastic music that he has left as his gift to us and appreciate the fact that I can listen to it at any time I want. This video cracks me up and was so silly with such an incredible message. I have nothing but respect and love.
it happened to Madonna, too. she released her "American Life" video and got punished from everybody in the US. it hurt her career in America to this day. it's a shame
I remember this song on russian MTV, when I was 7 years old. Now, I came home from first party after isolation, and guys on dancefloor reminded me George's dancing.
Is his first song in my mind, after the shocking news of today. I remember summer 2002, when this song was released to all the radio stations... At times, uncensured.
George Michael was one of the most innovative and boldest composers in the history of pop music.🎶🎼 I hope he is writing a good brand new song somewhere peaceful.
اغنية رائعة تحكي الواقع كل التحية والتقدير للفنان جورج مايكل والى ملحن هذة الأغنية العبقري 😍😍😍🤲 A wonderful song that tells reality. All greetings and appreciation to the artist, George Michael, and to the composer of this genius song 😍😍😍🤲
I watched this video a couple of times when GM died then it disappeared. Very glad to find that it suddenly showed up again. Love the fact that he always had the ability to laugh at himself. As usual, both ahead of his time and prescient. In various interviews, he spoke on why he was against the Iraq war. A man of great courage and integrity, even when most of the media and many people denigrated him at the time. Brave, iconoclastic, brilliant songwriter and singer. A true artist and a man of deep humanity. The world sorely needs your presence and talent in these trying times.
Why are there so few views for this video? It's George's best political statement and in hindsight 100% correct. Rest his blessed heart and voice and the kind soul he was.
Gerges Michael has always been a balanced, questioning, free-thinking guy but also so sad, hiding it well. Penalty. His courage and artistic mastery make him one of the greats of song. Unforgettable!!! He had an adventurous but analytical mind. George Michael wasn't just anyone. Let's hope he left us naturally. I wonder sometimes!!! And his sister???? The bad guys are patient.
+Phil philly Correct! :) From 1981 THLeague and I have to add a sample took from Silver Convention from their 1976's success "get up and boogie" on the magical refrain -that's right! :) For few people, very appassionate of music and musicians, with deep wisdom. G.Michael is genuine, particular and very talented singer! :) Have fun!
@svovy5358 "Freedom" from his album "Listen Without Prejudice " might ring a bell as that's one of his most well-known songs, but if not, it's never too late to listen to that or his other stuff, be it Wham! era or his solo career.
Can we get the uncensored version of this sometime? It's well past time, those words are no longer so shocking, let his music be free of restrictions now plz.
To the best of my knowledge, only two people can say they've done that. Of course, George Michael and the team behind 2DTV for making this music video, and then there's Phil Collins who reached out to Spitting Image to use their puppets for the video for the Genesis song 'Land of Confusion'. If I'm not mistaken there is some crossover between the Spitting Image and 2DTV teams, as some 2DTV cast and crew worked on Spitting Image prior to that.
I'm not sure why the algorithm showed this to me, and I didn't think George Michael, the guy I mostly known for Careless Whisper, would make a song like this. Funky, though. Reminds me of Jamiroquai's (Don't) Give Hate a Chance.
@@krisstopher8259 Oh, I think that might be the algorithm. Land of Confusion popped up for me a few weeks back, now this George Michael slice. Both damning statements on politics and the state of the wider world, still heavily relevant today. I didn't think the YT AI was that smart...
You notice he was one of the only artists in the world that stood up against the War in Iraq an dared to fight the music industry an record labels for Artists rights
MoeBulldogs2196 Yes, George was never one to be quiet about important issues, he used his platform for good. The media's treatment of him from this song onwards was quite telling.
I really wish we still had George Michael around.
Me too, pal.

i was alive than old man. And even if i didnt , did that mean i cant have opinion?
@@Zyziak then you was too young when 9/11 happened to understand
@@SW-zh2qn Because I was too young doesn't mean that I can't read about it when I'm older old man
The man is and will always be legend ! 😌
Not one of the best songs of all time but without doubt one of the best videos. I hope George loved this as much as I do. RIP mate.
I bet George laughed his head off seeing the video!. RIP Legend
Omg RIP
Especially the Wham - Faith - Older versions of himself
And now seeing King Charles with a King crown rather than take his mother's
It's still very relevant today in 2024!!!
This song popped into my recommended out of nowhere
never heard of George Michael
This song is amazing
Check out his most famous song “Everything She Wants” by Wham. Then there’s “I Want Your Sex” which is more of a funk song
@svovy5358 "Freedom" from his album "Listen Without Prejudice " might ring a bell as that's one of his most well-known songs, but if not, it's never too late to listen to that or his other stuff, be it Wham! era or his solo career.
Can we get the uncensored version of this sometime? It's well past time, those words are no longer so shocking, let his music be free of restrictions now plz.
George. No words needed. Legend ❤️
George was right, this song is so based right now
Перший раз чую в житті і приємно здивований, що не випадково це. В 2002 році одна з найпопулярніших пісень у вітчизняному радіо просторі 😊
The fact George got the creators of a show that made fun of him to animate the music video shows he had a sense of humour
To the best of my knowledge, only two people can say they've done that. Of course, George Michael and the team behind 2DTV for making this music video, and then there's Phil Collins who reached out to Spitting Image to use their puppets for the video for the Genesis song 'Land of Confusion'. If I'm not mistaken there is some crossover between the Spitting Image and 2DTV teams, as some 2DTV cast and crew worked on Spitting Image prior to that.
George was in a class of his own
George was pure genius. Period
I'm addicted to this song I love it so much and the video is brilliant
TREMENDO TEMÓN!!! Gracias a SOLO HITS (Telestereo) por regalarnos estas joyitas!!!
When pop was way more punk than punk itself. George Michael was a genius.
A real artist, even a Pop Star, is one who use the massive echo of his/her celebrity to also talk about the world, not only about himself/herself.
RIP George you are the Best.
Forever George Michael !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm not sure why the algorithm showed this to me, and I didn't think George Michael, the guy I mostly known for Careless Whisper, would make a song like this.
Funky, though. Reminds me of Jamiroquai's (Don't) Give Hate a Chance.
got it too
Genesis - Land of confusion is similar but with puppets
@@krisstopher8259 Oh, I think that might be the algorithm. Land of Confusion popped up for me a few weeks back, now this George Michael slice. Both damning statements on politics and the state of the wider world, still heavily relevant today. I didn't think the YT AI was that smart...
Astoundingly brave to take a pop at the establishment like this. Excellent ❤
Amazing album, it is good music,timeless.
You notice he was one of the only artists in the world that stood up against the War in Iraq an dared to fight the music industry an record labels for Artists rights
MoeBulldogs2196 Yes, George was never one to be quiet about important issues, he used his platform for good. The media's treatment of him from this song onwards was quite telling.
What about the Dixie Chicks
Doubt that
Also Tatu
Human League. Sisters of Mercy..... I could continue. Tons of bands stood up to the Bushes.
Superb song, superb video, incredible artist..
0:52 George shows that he has balls to release this song in the video itself! Oh man!!
MASTERPIECE ❤❤❤❤❤
Still listening to this Uber classic.
Missing you Darling George Michael.
