This girl was an amazing performer. A total natural. Love it that she wore the red dress from the video too. As years go by that'll become a valuable piece of 90s memorabilia. I hope she kept it.
Wow, amazing to find this. I was actually in the audience for this show. This show was actually taped in September, 1996 and Tom Brokaw was the main guest. Loved the song and got the CD after seeing them live.
To this very day, this song makes me want to grab my Republica CD, get in the car, crank Ready to Go with the windows down and go 100 mph on the highway. It's a high-energy song that drills into my soul! Love it!!
An infectious, timelessly youthful hook, but what really stands out over decades is Saffron's physical posturing, simultaneously alluring and powerful as an athlete -- front ladies should quit dancing choreographically and emulate more of this type of stellar power pop lead. She is 'in the moment', which lasts forever.
Well it'd be impossible for every singer Male or female to look as built as Saffron as no one is built identical. But you're right she looks very athletic
@@scrotor189 She was definitely very athletic in the early 90s when she was singing in the techno group En-joi She could kick her legs straight up with her feet well above her head she'd dance fast, spin, and the kick straight up above her head
You should see youtube videos of her dancing when she was a vocalist for the techno group En-joi in early 1990s She's quite the dancer and very flexible. She can kick her legs straight up with her feet well above her head. I liked her spin and kick move.
Literally everything and I mean EVERYTHING about Saffron in this is total perfection. Don't think I've swooned harder,her style,her hair,her voice,her beauty and her stage presence just WOW!! 😍💗💗💗
Saffron of Republica is one of those magically gifted sirens from the 90s ( eg., Jewel, Tori Amos, Alannis Morrisette, Siouxsie Q, etc.) whose live performance is nearly as engaging as her metronome-driven, camera frenzied videos....Three other things I like about this particular performance 1) I really dig the back up vocals 2) I love the "Rhythm Heritage" sound of the instruments and 3) Let's face it: Saffron is as hot as she is vocally gifted, with more than a flair for just the right theatrical moment....In essence, she's f-g awsome!
I believe this was actually the summer of 1996 when the song first took off in the U.S. It was one of the songs of summer. Such simpler and different times.
Fantastic performance of what has to be a damn near perfect pop anthem. Saffron was an amazing front woman, great voice and just a dream to watch. That this is a quarter of a century ago and the sad realisation that the heady days of the 90s slip further into history is the only -ve of this clip
Man I love this song this was such a cool tune I love this this is amazing I can't believe I found this video I wish Republica would come back with some other tunes, 90's had such memorable songs
In the (my) "old days" when I used to fly a lot, I always had this ready in my little portable CD player (remember those?,......) and as the plane was about to take off, I started playing this because I was "Ready To Go". It made me smile and laugh. I thought that I was so smart and clever.
Saffron is 54 years old and still cooler than I ever was !
Love her.
nahhhhh your cooler !
Still drop dead gorgeous?
She looks like she ate another saffron
This girl was an amazing performer. A total natural. Love it that she wore the red dress from the video too. As years go by that'll become a valuable piece of 90s memorabilia. I hope she kept it.
Perfect. Love this live performance!
But Republica is completely out of place! Because this is a song to dance to and not just to listen to!
Agree. Excellent live performance.
Saffron is her prime is the definition of hotness.
And not covered in ink
Shes drop dead gorgeous I forgot how cute she was.
YOu vanna cum?
she is sooo frikn gorgeous
ivanna humpalot
my crush of all times!
The have a song called Drop Dead Gorgeous.
I'm ready to go ….back to the nineties.
The camera man needed to zoom in and out, really really fast, to pull this off properly.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Thank you for the comment roftl
Jajajajajaja LOVE THIS SONG
Shit yeah. RTG was one hard video to watch lol
Camera man in NOT ready to go
Saffron at her PRIME. Damn she looked absolutely FANTASTIC and her voice was PERFECTION. Great energy and she just looks SO FREAKING COOL!!!
Yes she looked hot and sounded great, she was ready to go!
Was? She still has it!
back when you could get away with a lip sync... perfection there, at least.
Incredibly sexy and wow, what a pair of legs.
@@neatchipops3428 Not a lip sync. It's live.
I miss music being fun
She was adorable.
Wow, amazing to find this. I was actually in the audience for this show. This show was actually taped in September, 1996 and Tom Brokaw was the main guest. Loved the song and got the CD after seeing them live.
You are right. It was in september of 1996. I saw this episode of Conan. Fun days.
@vacuum chum Another version was released in early 97, but the first version was released in April 96.
All I know is I wish it could relive that time again, but with what I know about it now.
Fucking CDs! I loved it back the.
I also was in the audience. Before the show i met conan at the men's room. We talked, nice guy. He tried my coke. Then we become friends for 8 years
This is a gem from a long gone and missed era... Viva Republica!!
Awesome live performance of their song!
I think she was lip syncing
@BreezyMunk how can anyone dance like that and sing without being out of breath? I would bet anything that she’s lip syncing.
The one and only terrible song
@@JoeyDavies777 Are you completely blind?? She does no dancing while singing. Her mouth matches the singing exactly.
@Wacky Wayfarer in the video, she's lip syncing. Still, she needed better shoes. With that outfit.
To this very day, this song makes me want to grab my Republica CD, get in the car, crank Ready to Go with the windows down and go 100 mph on the highway. It's a high-energy song that drills into my soul! Love it!!

Very true, captivated
And, in that 'moment' she rockets out of the screen, zooming past the limits of TV pixels and blasting straight for the.... zeitgeist.....Wow!
Well it'd be impossible for every singer Male or female to look as built as Saffron as no one is built identical. But you're right she looks very athletic
you hit the nail on the head, such a shame no manager could find another hit for these guys, outstanding track and I could watch saffron all day
@@scrotor189
She was definitely very athletic in the early 90s when she was singing in the techno group En-joi
She could kick her legs straight up with her feet well above her head
she'd dance fast, spin, and the kick straight up above her head
Saffron is so animated in the performance that just watching her is making me tired! Love the way she pumps energy into this song!
well it’s not like she has another song to sing.
@@AltCTRLF8 That's unfair that you claim this is Republica's only hit. Saffron is on stage, singing all her hit.
@American Bot, she has many excellent songs and they all sing them with the same energy.
You should see youtube videos of her dancing when she was a vocalist for the techno group En-joi in early 1990s
She's quite the dancer and very flexible.

I liked her spin and kick move.
@@fomalhauto she also looks great as the love interest in the video for the one and only by Chesney Hawkes!
Not a easy song to perform live and they nailed it !
Literally everything and I mean EVERYTHING about Saffron in this is total perfection. Don't think I've swooned harder,her style,her hair,her voice,her beauty and her stage presence just WOW!! 😍💗💗💗
Drop dead gorgeous.
She radiates "lovin the moment" like no other. Sweet as well.

what is "Rhythm Heritage"?
She’s way better than the others you mentioned and way hotter too.
excellent comment and analysis.
@@lqr824 Yeah. What's "Siouxsie Q" too. And I agree, "Rhythm Heritage" FGS
Shout it out!!
I’ve heard this song countless times and never get tired of it!
luckily
Great song and performance!
Love her energy!

Jesus she’s wears those bangs to perfection.
Agree. Perfect dance moves also.
😂😂😂😂😂
👌
What makes a good band is when they can do a great live performance.
This isn't it.
@@saturnargentavis1901 It is
@@RudJohns I went to Berkley but please tell me how it is, lets have this discussion

26 years old now....jesus christ where does time go🥺😯😒😞
To the rooftop.
loved this song when i was in uni the sound of my youth
She is so pretty!
She can sing 👌👌❤️
She´s a great GREAT singer!
No playback, just live. Period
i miss the 90s, this represents the 90s so well. Good times that'll never come back
Excellent live performance. When popular music still sounded good.
What a glorious year
The year I turned 18 🥰
Loaned this CD to a Doctor on his way to a golf trip in Michigan .Him and his Buddies played it full Blast for hours . Glad to share
OMG a collab between Saffron & Shirley Manson would have been sick!!
Saffron !!! What a beauty !!
I LOVED this! This is a great live performance. Vocals were on point. Loved it.
Can't believe I missed this in the day. I watched Conan every night & I was in love with this album.
Glad to find it now!
I am ready to go but I cannot stop watching this video!!!!!
She's a good front person. Lot of energy/attitude and can sing.
Also a prime piece of ass.
an amazing live performance... bravo!
Man I love their style. And her delivery for this song is tight
my favourite game
Banger.
Jesus Christ, I love her. The cameramen failed to capture her fantastic jumps on video.
You mean, upskirt, right? Am I the only one...? 😅

extra cool line up..... 2 synths, guitar n drums.... perfect german rock n roll
Everything is on point here. Great song with an even more awesome live performance.
Take me back to the 90's
They do a damn good job playing this live. Thanks for posting.
You are most welcome. Thank you for posting a note of appreciation!
was it live though?
Love this performance.
Such an amazing voice live!
I remember good music.
Apparently a lot of people do not.
This is disposable pop.
shes gorgeous !!!!!! loved the band back in the 90's ! takes me back to my school days
Man I love this song this was such a cool tune I love this this is amazing I can't believe I found this video I wish Republica would come back with some other tunes, 90's had such memorable songs
FIRST TIME I've ever seen them LIVE! THANKS for posting this! SURPRISED Saffrons voice is so STRONG! She can really sing!❤❤❤❤
03:11 pause it here
I feel like I should shake my laptop back & forth to replicate the effect of the music video.
omg I died 😂
jajajajjaja...lol
works better on a smart phone.
I did the minute you said it!!
Do it, but with your cellphone
i see it and i see it over and over again and i don't get tired, delicious!
Very good!!
I've just watched them play last weekend in Keswick - The Mountain festival in the Lake District, Uk.
Very cool . . . Republica was one of the great bands of the time.
So adorable!!!
They sound beautifully awesome live.
Great stage presence
I love how she jumps! Great energy!
A great pair of legs! Awesome tune!
killed it on this live performance!
3:10 I love her! 😍

So 90's, it goddamn hurts
Exelente tema y grupo hacía mucho q no lo veía pero me sorprendió ahora good
I miss all these types of bands. Gravity kills just popped into my head!
Just discovering this wonderful group. Full on fun
My absolute favorite song in this Genre of the era! Saffron kills it! I wish they had a larger catalog of music to enjoy! :-)
I loved Luscious Jackson and Ani DiFranco during the mid-90s, there are some similarities.
Checking in in 2020: still love this song ❤️
wow beauty personified Saffron and the band just awesome
Ok, i love her
Great live performance! Two keys makes a huge difference versus other versions.
the 90's was a very beautiful time. i thank god i got to grow up to all of this as a kid :) 33
I miss the 90s.. oh.how much
she is fantastic
Good version of a simple, evocative song.
Gives me goosebumps every time.
Shout it from the rooftops, READY TO GO.
Favorite song at age 8. This was actually quite popular in the US.
I still have this on VHS.
Stevie boy is ready to go Fantastic ❤❤❤❤.
Oh my god what a perfomance!!! Love this version
Brilliant song and performance.
Fair play sounds excellent live. Thanks for posting!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it, and took the time to say so :)
This song brings me back to the late 90s being at Yankee stadium before the game would start they played this song. ⚾️
love the way she jumps
Que tesoro he hallado!!!! Esta presentación es una Joya!!
amo a esta mujer
One of the most 90s things I've ever seen. Great live performance!
Holy crap, that is good!! My new favorite song.
Always loves when she leaps in the air soo awesome
Saffron is a great talent, I can see why I always had a crush on British girls. She is really peppy.
Flawless live performance, really nice
