I think this was the first UB40 song I heard,and still one of my favourites.They did also make a promo video for the song.
We tried to find a cleaner copy of the video, but we just couldn't find it.
@@hanierfamily Hi Guys, can l run a song by you to see if you know it
The song is called " sing our own song" by UB40
@@darrenwestbury8569 great shout
Another great song and band.... I used to drink in the fox pub in birmingam early 80s where the band used to hang out, great memories. enjoy your channel, cheers
My favorite group.saw them back in the day.brixton academy
I love this track,we used to get zonal and chill to this,knew every little percussion beat,fantastic 👍🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶❤️
This is one of the most underrated song UB40 produced, and also not that well known by people who don't really know there music.
Try and watch the video. It's about nuclear Armageddon.
This was a VERY important song from a very important album from an initially VERY important band .. it is so profound that it haunts me to this day . Great vibe , great lyrics . The band went on to shoot themselves in the foot , go down the showbiz covers route and then virtually implode with personality and ego issues .
That 1st album called “Signing off “ was iconic and Revolutionary imho .. but they never repeated that level of success or appreciation, but that doesn’t change the acclaim they rightfully earned with that album and tracks like this . Wonderful , just wonderful !
👍🏴
The second LP wasn't bad and the Dub version is amazing.
Nope, the important albums were Labor Of Love vol. 1 and 2 and Red Red Wine: The Essential. Sold loads and everybody knows them. I don't know this song, I can't hear a hook
@@leafyisfearmydear9884 Selling more doesn't make it better. Much as I love a great cover there are limits.
Kia Ora Jay my brother that statement you just made up there 🤔🙄 well said spot on brother
@@heathcornbeef that means a lot as it came from the heart HCB, cheers for taking the time ..👌
👍🏴
Check The Guillotines "Borrowed Time", it's got a similar theme. They are a Scottish Punk/Ska band and this is fi their new LP.
This is early UB40, they were a very politically driven band back then, please check out, 'Food For Thought', and 'One in Ten', both excellent tracks.
We have videos for both of those, I believe.
@@hanierfamily I must have missed those reactions when I was working abroad. I shall have a look for them, thank you.
Great to hear some early UB40 before they became a rather formulaic covers band. This song is about the threat of nuclear war which was a real concern at the time. 'One in ten' was a big hit relating to the unemployment rate at the time. I loved their chilled reggae sound with serious messages lyrically.
Spot on! First two albums were great, before they either ran out of steam in writing their own material, or became lazy after the success of Red Red Wine.
The song pre-dates the man made climate change narrative, it relates to the aftermath from potential nuclear war which was the worry of the day back then.
Haunting and very thought provoking song which really knocked me sideways when i first listened to it.
Brilliant review. Looked like you were really getting into it there! 😃
Hi to the Hanier family, if you want to move on to the 2nd album Present Arms a couple of of tracks you will like are Don't let it pass you by & Don't slow down, Love the old UB40 content 😊
I live in the next county from Birmingham in wolverhampton they have produced some brilliant band's and have a strong musical credit other band's like elo, black sabbath, ocean colour scene, the beat another good band unemployment was high and people were desperate so they started band's.
So, considering the shape of the economy, we should expect some big talent soon. 🤔
@@hanierfamily I would definitely like to think so I wouldn't rule out the possibility.
👏👏👏 it's been too long since hearing this haunting song and when the hell are politians going to have the guts and honesty to stop corporate greed and the destruction of our planet it's all we have and they don't give a rats ass
The album Signing Off cut through the punk, disco and new romanticism and put out them in the shade until people became too uncomfortable with it and went back to their bread and circuses. At the time of this song nuclear war seemed to be when not if.
absolute choon wayyyy better than their later stuff "signing off" imo their best album
One of my favs of many by the great UB40...ribbet
My early teenage years, bliss!
Moi Aussie…😀
👍🏴
This is from when they were a brilliant band who wrote songs that meant something but it did not make them money so they sold out and released covers etc. 😢
I think this is from either the first or second lp, still in the halcyon period for sure.
Named after the old sci fi movie of the same name iirc.
The first and best. It came wi the 12".
@@SPKdesign1 I never remember, I might only have Present Arms In Dub. Definitely nothing past the second lp
@@Sandy-dd4le That's an excellent LP. It's the last one I bothered with. I have a couple o later 12"s that had nice extended versions of songs but that's it.
This track doesn't feature on my vinyl copy of Signing Off, I had to buy this as a single........was I had or do I have a rarity ?
@@charlesappleby8049 It was, if remember correctly, on the B side of a single that was released the same year as their first LP and I think it's on some versions of the CD.
A UB40 was your 70's sign on card for social security money you had to go and sign on once a fortnight with the resounding words 'Have you done any work, paid or unpaid in the last two weeks'? The queue of vans outside waiting for their workers to sign 'The Dole' was just so funny I am a Northern bastard but Thatcher fooked us and we knocked her outta the park!
good song ;la terre souffre et se meure il faut reagir avant qu'il soit trop tard , peace😔
Il problema siamo noi.
A great track fi a great LP. The best one from this LP by far is Madame Medusa.
Possibly the best thing they ever did, Madame Medusa that is
@@Sandy-dd4le It's one of the more political songs for the time.
Lol … I wrote my explanation of the UB40 card AS I was listening to the vid and phook me Chris knew and explained it perfectly … serves me right for not fully paying attention .. well played Chris …👍
👍🏴
Tonight I was at an Awards thing doon in Leith wi John Robb fi The Membranes presenting.
@@SPKdesign1 aye I know the guy your talking about , wee Mohican , about 60 odd n a journalist too . Did you have a wee keek at the overturned American ship in the dry dock while ye were at it ? What a pure red neck that is for Scotland btw 😀… “ howdy , how’s the refit on my ship going ?”…… “ eh…funny story about that “ !
👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering That's the one, he was really professional wi nae shenanigans.
Havenae seen the ship, I didnae realise there was one in. I must've missed that one completely
@@SPKdesign1 Google it SPK , it’s hilarious , it’s an American coast guard ship I think , in a dry dock at Leith and it all of a sudden turns over on its side … good luck with getting THAT back up again 😀
👍🏴
Before anyone else says it , UB40 was the card issued to you by UK Social Security at that time ( late 70’s/ early 80’s).. to allow you to claim benefits UB means Unemployment Benefit and it must’ve been the 40th card if it’s type , hence UB40 !
I think 40 was because it was Form 40. It's been a long time since I had one.
@@SPKdesign1 yup me too , bout 1980 if memory serves … fkn broo !!
😄
👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering I can't remember what we had after. I ended up on a YOP in 1980 after leaving Skool at 15.
@@SPKdesign1 ffs haven’t heard that term for aboot 40 years 🤷♂️… that was the same era as the MSC the government threatened us with 😀… the Manpower Services Commision … my brother got stuck with them for a while when he was on the broo and was required to count trees for 4hrs a day while he was looking for a job ..🤣
You couldn’t make that up … and I didn’t 👀
👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering They did come up wi some ridiculous stuff.
Can't wait for my Robert Palmer request
