Can we just talk about how damn good the picture quality is for this video? It feels like you're actually *seeing* the world in 1983 through your own eyes instead of "looking at the dark ages through sepia tone imagery"!
@@tyronfrayne7069 yeah , love PIL and Johnny is a crack up , I would have liked to have seen them when they toured down her 🇦🇺 some years ago but I missed out 😞
This song saved my sanity at several 80s discos. 3 minutes of joy, a liferaft in a sea of Spandau Ballet Kajagoogoo Haircut 100 Black Lace Shakatak Stock Aitken Waterman and other such hell sharks. Bless you Johnny!
Brian Peters - Correct, most younger people don't get this was anti anti establishment and anti new romantic and all the rest at the time. It was by all definition an outsider song in a class all of its own.
Ich war 6 Jahre alt, als der Song raus kam und fand ihn schon als Kind Richtig genial. Yeah. Man muss einfach zappeln, bei dem coolen Beat und dem fetzigen Gesang. ❤🎶😍🤗👍🎹💃
Indeed! It's terrific how the sequence links the emptiness and nonsense, as well as reinforces the key point of the lyrics: I will do what you want (neoliberalism, war) but obviously, nothing to celebrate here, an open anti-anthem. Well, I arrived at this clip after reviewing the movie again. It's also pretty interesting that Lydon, at the end of the clip, seems an animated character. I'd love to ask Ari about it or maybe I'm overthinking
Johnny is the most fascinating, authentic, charismatic, intelligent, kindhearted, gorgeous rock star on the planet! Rock star, author, actor, artist, TV presenter. Is there no end to this man's talents? Pure genius! I could watch and listen to him all day! I am transfixed LOL! He is so entertaining! Seen PIL live several times and enjoyed. Love you Johnny! xx ❤❤
As he’s aged, his politics have shifted, evident in his support for Trump. There’s something grotesque about this transformation, given his stance against authoritarianism over the years.
@@thewonkyembouchure I agree with John supporting Trump. He is the only hope for the USA. Please wake up and do your research! Liberals are not on your side!
@dhouse he definitely changed music, ways people think, and definitely gave people the energy to be free and become their own person and dress, say and do what's right.
The beats to this song is magical plus the vocals from a legend himself. This is what we need today a music movement from those who really are true artists. Would love to sit down for a cup of tea with you Johnny just to hear your views and the way we should be really living life with proper music and definitely a society that is worth living in. A true man with a very big heart must respect pal
1983..Bristol Uni with my new man..he kissed me through the whole song while on the dance floor...we married in 1984...still married, still loving kissing each other, so I guess THIS IS A LOVE SONG ❤
@@mtvso8000 thank u so much 😀😀😀!!! I am a painter, for hobby. I care a lot of this portrait, and yes i love him, for me he was nice looking and the voice of punk in UK, i prefer him then Sid 😍 But i love Pil too, in a different way.
I saw PIL in the early 90s and Nirvana in the same month at our uni in Oz and although Nirvana was massive, massive... John Lydon was the best entertainer hands down!!!
no its not today problem! it started in rome long time ago when they steal heritage from greece and twisted it into new ! then the rome switched into vatican... we dont want to see it when it started really , just screaming about the end result ! we just dont want to see the first and second steps , and we are angry on the last step or the last nail ..
You only feel that way because your life is not in order. The only person who can put it in order is you. Do that and then you can try to change the world. After all, why should we take advice from someone who can't manage their own life.
What do you know about my life ? I am safe and successful, but I see so much pain and corruption in the world. I do not have my 'life in order' because I empathise with others ? Your comment is a sad revelation of your limited thinking. @@IamaCosmonaut
His dancing is at least as unique as his voice is :)) He is one of those that people SHOULD listen to, even more when he is talking about anything. Each street of this world should contain at least one Lydon.
....from Good save the Queen....to This is not a love song....the Evolution of John Lydon...underrated....not only the hateful shouter of punk times....more playingtime pn diverse radiostations....long live PIL
Intemporel ! Ce sex pistol avait réussi à figurer plusieurs semaines au top 50 avec ce "truc", "très alternatif à l'époque". Simple, profond, authentique, utile, ludique et du domaine des arts et lettres. Pas besoin d'avoir toutes les qualités pour faire un tube durable. Bravo les P.I.L. !
This is unique. Nobody else has ever dared to be this unique. To me genre's do not excist. If it is music i simply like it or don't like it. And I still love this!
Un sonido y una frase repetida mil veces, es parte de esta música..... que te remonta a una epoca maravillosa, te remonta a los locos e irrepetibles años 80
I was born in 1967. This song made me jumping around in discotheques in East Berlin. I will remember it till the end of my days
That's really true. 😎
I'm coming with you. It was a great time!

The natural evolution of a respectable British man . The Punk, the pinnacle of civilization and freedom
Ending up as a Zionist and fascist?

this is a very,very good point, don't think I've ever thought about it like that before
The official song of Valentine's Day.
yeah
Too right.
Perfect.
😂😂
This has to be one of the best sounding rock singles from the 80s, everything is so crispy and clear.
The Bass makes this song 2024.
That's because Jah Wobble is on it!
I fully agree with your comment
@@becausky518 bass on this song played Pete Jones not Jah
No matter who plays: A slapped Precision Bass sounds awesome!
Nah, the bass is totally mid 80s
This is the first 45 single I bought. I love how Johnny took the punk attitude and bought it into the new wave progression.
Can anyone watch this video,without smiling...? Thanks John..You are a Legend...
No 🙂
It's the video that makes this song- the lyrics aren't up to much 😂
@@janeholstead3745 John deliverd these lyrics in his own most unique way ..Which really make"s them Work...:)
I'm smiling love johnny rotten
@@tyronfrayne7069 yeah , love PIL and Johnny is a crack up , I would have liked to have seen them when they toured down her 🇦🇺 some years ago but I missed out 😞
Actually yes... Because the song reminds me of "Waltz with Bashir".
1983!?? Damn... This could pass today without problem and reach top charts.
th-cam.com/video/szEaAkU32rg/w-d-xo.html yep
its that bad
Nah don't think so. Today autotuned "rappers" or pop singers are in the charts
No it couldn't. It's commenting on something beyond the immediate gratification of the singer.
It looks/sounds way newer somehow.
Schade dass es solchen Band's nicht mehr gibt 😢
Gibt es
There was ever only one band like this.
This song deserves to be remembered more.

I reckon it's not a love song. Johnny speaks the truth!!!

Every Valentine's day i need to come back here
It may not be a love song but I love this song. About 40 years old and still better than most of what’s going on these days.
My fav part starts at 2:05 - this is where Johnny's vocal gets stronger and exhibits THAT thrill I love!
This is actually a love song. John was pulling our legs all this time
Imagine driving on a highway and seeing a man with an orange haircut, who stands up on a car and screams "this is not a love song"
That would be great and made my day
This is not a highway
Luv it!!!
The *Waltz with Bashir* segment with this song is so beatiful in its portrayel of a foray at civilian life of a soldier who has seen _things._
Yes! That scene in the disco and the girl he likes. Quite a horror show for animation - but well worth repeat viewing!
indeed

Couldn’t have said it better myself.😍😍
Great little riff that make this song so good,
This is my favourite love song
This is NOT a love song. The clue is in the title. Dear me....
craig cotter Absurd. How have you come to such an outrageous conclusion?
Clue is who is singing and the subverting of the pop culture.
Not. PIL.
so it's not a love song then - or?
This is one of the best and funniest music videos I've ever seen.
The passage of time has turned this into a song I love...it's now a loved song.
He is pure energy,diamond,i love him.
nelson mandela was a twat compaired
Lyrics:
This is not a love song (repeat 98 times)
Thank you, you're welcome.
@Tobbe Häggberg this song is wonderful. Its kind of a protest against the "Love songs" of the charts at the time!
@@antonioeisadora John Lydon said that "this is not a loved song" was really a love song... but in his way...
get a life
Hahhahahhahahhahahhahahahhahahhahahhahhaha
I thought I knew the words to this song, there are more than I thought
STILL ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!
This song is so anti establishment, it's brilliant! Lydon is a legend and a national treasure. X
Anti-establishment (!) is the word I was looking for all my life. Will borrow that on your permission.
He's more like a anti-national treasure
makes me feel good living the simple life. anyone who dont like can screw.
Lydon has always been honest and a real risk taker, unlike many of us!
Dmned, ça me ramène plus de 40 ans en arrière!!! Dingue. J'adore. Merci d'avoir mis en avant cette musique trop peu connue.
The best love song of all time!
@Timur Aliev its a song about love
Dad: Turn that off
Me: Why?
Dad: We have bigger speakers downstairs.
how superb is to have parents who actually care for their children's experiences
Good dad
GReat ! ;-) I love your father ! :-)
Caught my 15 year old listening to the Sex Pistols on his mobile. Never been so proud!
it has to played on Full blast and proper speakers This classic
You could tell he was/is a beautiful soul even back in the day when you looked in his eyes xxx love him xxxxx
A living legend John Lydon ... and a song way before it's time.
great song-sounds as epic today as it first did back in 1983 when i first heard it
This is not a love song, but it's a good song.
The catchiest song ever. The video rules, such a crazy, free vibe. Love it.
The 'Commercial Zone' version leaves this for the tired, wan attempt it unfortunately is
What did you catch from it though? Mine was not love disease.
Love it not, you mean.
He was once one of England's most hated men but is now a national treasure. And rightly so.
+cam docks alright then america, just try not to shoot this one then
+Nathan L W Hughes David Beckham?
+Nathan L W Hughes if he came to Ireland, bought a derelict property, cleansed the rats and propped up the economy,, I'd not love song him too.
Why was he hated.
For the Sex Pistols mainly and the moral panic they caused.
I'm starting to suspect this IS a love song
Well he is a punk so naturally subversive
I think you might be right.
But this is not a love song
What is a love song
is this not a love song?
1983..Bristol Uni with my new man..he kissed me through the whole song while on the dance floor...we married in 1984...still married, still loving kissing each other, so I guess THIS IS A LOVE SONG ❤
epic
Maybe 👍🏴
Love the quirkiness, and nonchalant cheekiness of this song 😘
Well said!
His white pale skin and his orange hair are a great mix
You too!
@@mtvso8000 my pic profile is the portrait that i made of John Lydon 😀. I am a desperate fan 😁
@@freezing_moon94 i could see that. its really nice. i also am a huge fan of him.

I care a lot of this portrait, and yes i love him, for me he was nice looking and the voice of punk in UK, i prefer him then Sid 😍
But i love Pil too, in a different way.
@@freezing_moon94 i feel the exact same.
Great song, so RAW with the tall building in the background.
for some reason I have had this song running through my mind for weeks.
Brilliant to hear it sounds fantastic
To this day, i still cant work out why i like this.... Logic would tell me his voice is irratating, but i enjoy it
Because its Art
Vrdd
Love the voice 😍
That's why you like it, because it's irritating
Theres more personality in that voice than any of the auto tuned arsewipes that followed
Love John Lydon. My condolences to him on losing his soul partner.
RIP Nora
I've been listening to this on repeat for three days love this song!
But this is not a love song
@@sirstarkey ik but I love this song
Not waisted a minute
I saw PIL in the early 90s and Nirvana in the same month at our uni in Oz and although Nirvana was massive, massive... John Lydon was the best entertainer hands down!!!
you lucky bastard
mr lydon, you are brilliant, a man of letters, poetry in motion, sometimes [mostly] stylish, but LOVED.
My heart is bursting with the love I have for this man
A genius.
Write him a love song
E io la riascolto....
He is a really good man
Amen
Everybody must realise how significant this piece of art is today . Humanity is being crushed to death by the evil industrial complex.
no its not today problem! it started in rome long time ago when they steal heritage from greece and twisted it into new ! then the rome switched into vatican... we dont want to see it when it started really , just screaming about the end result ! we just dont want to see the first and second steps , and we are angry on the last step or the last nail ..

great song so different so showing your own individualism and style why cant we have a bit more different in todays music?
The 80's were much more fun than nowadays😉
"Happy to have, not to have not" ... brilliant lyric!
this song is a kind of protest to the kind of songs played on the radio at the time!
I love his movements. They’re so weird.
I can tell this is not a love song
how much i love you john!!!
A masterpiece on its own
Just when you've had enough of 80's music, this comes up!! :D
this is note 🎵 a love song John Lydon and im gonna hug you now whether you like it or not; cause this song is one of my favorites..🤗❤🦋
Friends and I ran a punky nightclub called 'Speed' in the late 80s in Glasgow and this was the first song we ever played.
Nice, the name sounds like a reference to amphetamine.
everyone in my house is asleep rn and I'm trying so hard not to burst out laughing at John Lyndon's amazing dancing skills
Same here
Ha Ha i'm thinking the same thing right now, while i am trapped in my house ;)
Johnny Rotten, ftw.
That’s how I dance lol
@@DwaykeTubes those dancing skills can't be learnt on Strictly, they're from a man who doesn't care and I love it

And ofc Robert Smith
Never heard of Nina Hagen. I guess
I love it too, Syd would have hated it. 😄
That's the punk attitude everyone needs...
i love this song although this is not a love song
Wonderful emoter and great joy to hear him again!
Brilliant song,
I love it!
Great wedding music
The best lovesong ever.Greetings from Greece
One of the best songs ever.
I love him ,he's a legend
My love, thank you very much. This song is so much great, my old school song. Thanks a lot.
i miss these kind of songs nowadays.
Indeed, punk died unfortunately.
Great track from a legend!
High quality crisp clear sound and good quality picture
Que música boa!
One of my fav's!
There is no way this could ever be a love song, its not, not now, not ever.
One of the only albums what becomes an actual story....... Not many albums can say that..... LEGENERY....... .
sorry to hear about Nora
hope all goes well in the future
This Is NOT a love song. I love this Song because Is NOT a love song 🤟
I love this song
Great song
I highly recommend his book, very well written and only confirms even more what a legend our John is. PiL kick ass; musically amazing.
