I close my eyes and I'm again a school kid dreaming of a better life - a year later my life would change for ever and carelessness would turn to sorrow and despair. Still the dream felt so real... Hugs to all the hopeless souls out there. You are not alone.
I don’t know what it is about the song and her voice but it’s almost hypnotic! And there’s some thing about her and her little 80s outfit she was one hot little number👍🏼🤩❤️
We were obsessed with the 60s and nostalgic for it during the 80s. We teenagers thought it was an ideal time of freedom and counterculture because there was so much social conservatism backlash. Also baby boomers were getting old so that fueled it as well.
About once a year for some weird reason this song pops in my head, and I can't rest until I listen to it. The melody here is incredibl strong, honestly. There's something very magical about this tune.
+Dan Williams I here you man. This song popped into my head for no reason after a long while and I just had to find it again and play it. Thanks Tracey.
A cover of Kirsty MacColl's 1979 swooner "They Don’t Know", but with added Spectorian production that indulge big harmonies, while Tracey Ullman amps up the kitsch and performs in a video that showcases her comedy chops.
Great that plenty of folk remember and honour the late great Kirsty MacColl. A great poet, a great vocalist and distinctive artist. Tracey's version of this little pop gem, keeps her spirit alive. Check out Tracey's album 'You broke my heart in 17 places' - filled with retro classics like this one.
You can still see Tracey's great acting ability here. Before Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, there was Tracey, as this was a hit around the world. Still one of my favorite songs, written by the great Kirsty McColl. So much stuff happening here.
@@andytay5507 A producer put The Simpsons into a TV show he was producing. Tracey Ullman had absolutely nothing to do with it. All she ever did was sing other peoples songs and read other peoples scripts.
@@deletebilderberg You're inferring something personal that wasn't written in any way. All that was said is that Tracey's show gave the creators of the Simpson's a launching pad. It was the highlight of the show, which the TV critics picked up on, and helped give the impetus for the Fox to try a cartoon in primetime, because it already had fans. Never in any way said she created it. Don't get your knickers tied into a knot about it. Jesus.
Started going out with my wife in this year who’s 15 years older and everyone said it wouldn’t last - now married over 36 years and this has always been our song and played at any party we’ve had!!
When i listen to stuff like this it makes me yearn for my youth again .. i can almost feel the child in me again ( as i was the first time i heard this ) .. the 80's were the best years of my life !
You wrote this 10 years ago. Are you still around? Anyway, I was 24 and was about to marry my first great love. Everytime I hear this, it takes me back to the most special time of my life as an American serviceman from California stationed in the UK, like it was yesterday.
That is such a beautiful mash-up of Sixties and Eighties glamour. Glitter in the hair, by golly. I did that in 7th grade. Such an incredibly talented, cute lady.
lived and worked out of the country at the time for years , but every time i heard a Tracey Ullman song i instantly wanted to go home . Still love hearing her songs today ,
True that - & we owe The Simpsons as much to her as Matt Groening. While half my gormless mates were drooling over the likes of blimmen Madonna & Sharon Stone, I was a'pining for Tracy & Tina Weymouth - go figure! LoL
@@MothraBlues Using Groening’s early Simpsons on her show a few minutes per episode for a short period does not make her equally responsible for the success of The Simpsons for decades. Don’t credit her for his art, labor, and business decisions as if she was involved in anything more than what she did, which was to choose his work to put on her show briefly before or after commercials. If anything, Groening’s work made her show more popular (it did in our house). That’s why she lost when she tried to sue him for taking his own creation out on his own, to have his own show when it was offered to him. Suing him to take it from him as if her show owned his creation and work was disappointing to those of us who were fans of both of them. She deserved to lose.
love that Tracey brought back the 1960s girl group scene...very talented..its like the 70s brought back the 50s..80s brought back the 60s..and 90s brought back the 70s disco, nice to see certain artists bringing nostalgia back from past eras.
Such a perfect song this is... perfect words, perfect melody, perfect emotion perfect sentiment and perfect execution from such an incredible talent... love it to death... thank you to all who create...
The lyrics flow so well in their reflection of a familiar sentiment among young lovers that the song is over almost before you know it. Tracy Ullman delivers a wonderful performance of Kirsty MacColl’s song. Her wit is subtly channelled into her delivery. The appeal here is that you are entertained with minimum effort. The problem today is that artists make hard work in their efforts to entertain you. The screeching vocalists of today have a lot on their plate: they must vainly enlighten you as well as appeal. And it’s exhausting to listen to them. I almost feel sorry for them. They may enlighten me as to the dire predicament of the bloated pop industry today. And their efforts at appealing to me are in vain, in any case. But here, from 1983, the lyrics are clear and concise. It’s an appealing song. Perhaps we took the music back then for granted because … well, there were just so many classy little pop songs. The slight distortion in sound at the very beginning of this home video-recorded TV performance put a wee lump in my throat. We just wanted to be entertained back then. Mere entertainment!
The girliest totp ever love it!.... love Traceys style here!!! Crazy to think she’s now 60, so young here at only 23;*)❤️🌸🌺❤️✨🌟💎💝💖❣️💕💞💓💗💜💞💓🌈🌟✨💫⭐️☀️🌈✨🌟💝💕💗💓 💖💜❣️🌸
I can't help but smile when I hear and see this. This song more than any other takes me back to the happiest time of my life when I was 24. Tracey is pure magic gold. Brilliant talent and commedienne. Oh and she is also the reason we have the best comedy of all time, the Simpson's!
I was 13 when this song was released in early September, 1983 . . . I first watched the video of it in December of that same year, I was not introduced to her show until I was already in the Navy in 1991, that's when I thought to myself, "Is there anything this woman can't do? Impersonating men, elderly people, and even the occasional homless person." Multi-talanted? Understatement.
How unutterably 60's! Tracey looks good, and this was so much fun. From the LP "You Broke My Heart in 17 Places". If Paul had popped in at the end, the BBC would have gone mad. And we do miss the lovely Kirsty MacColl, gone far too soon.
It reminds me of Nights out in South Shields with friends at Buddies Nightclub. Loved the music there, food, the dancing & yes the girls dressed like that to. This the hit version performed by Tracey Ullman and written by Kirsty MacColl. Love both this cover & original song.
Here we are in the 2020s watching '50s revival/nostalgia in the '80s. Will anybody be nostalgic for the 2020s in the future? I would hope not, that would mean things got a lot worse.
This is a song that somehow just makes me happy, don't know exactly why, but it does it every time. Sort like Mmmm Bop by Hansen. I know it's a silly little pop ditty but it's awesome because it does what music is supposed to do sometimes: transport you away for just a little bit from your worries and cares, if for only about 3 minutes.
Wow, this song pulls at my heartstrings, yearning for those wonderful 80's. My heart will always be there. Beautiful song. Kirsty was, an incredible song writer, Tracy did a excellent job.Proper music, great times, not like today. People are too absorbed in they're electronic devices.and focused on money. we were happier back then. The 80's forever. forever young at heart. LOL .
If electronic devices, streaming services and digital downloads had been around in 1979, Kirsty would have had a worldwide smash hit with her original version of They Don’t Know. And she, along with her music, would be far better known globally. Instead of having to wait for the single to physically arrive at the record store, you can buy it instantly off of iTunes and other online music stores. That’s all a net benefit for international artists, especially ones from the UK and the rest of Europe hoping to breakthrough in North America.
@@thomashong2938 You make some good points, but I don't think it's altogether better for the artists. Back in the eighties, one had to actually *buy* the record. Today it's very easy to obtain albums free through file sharing or ripping from borrowed cd's. Also, because music is cheaper and more ubiquitous nowadays, I think it often feels less special than it used to. In the past, it was exciting to bring home a new record, pour over the liner notes, and share it with your friends and family. Also, still today, artists can be huge in one western country, but relatively unknown in another. English superstar Robbie Williams is a good example of this.
Beautiful, charismatic, beautiful voice, talented in so many different ways, I could go on forever here. And of course it's a cute song, a throwback to the 60s.
Bloody right mate me hands to cold to play a cord. I was a teen in the 60s so when this ditty came about I was allready getting misty about me youth during the British invasion love. Seems like yesterday all me troubles were so fart away.
I don't like it when other boys says they love my Tracey. They don't know about us...and they've never heard of love. She's one in a billion, and the owner of my pathetic heart.
When I listen & watch this video of Tracy singing They Don't Know,she puts me in the mind of the 1960's British singer LuLu who recorded To Sir With Love.. If you all get the chance watch a You Tube clip of LuLu singing Shout the old Isley Brothers song & you all will see how these two ladys sound & act alike. Great video & it reminds me of my teenage years of the 1960's. Cheers: Critty200
She was amazing i think of the best female singers of all time. As a man in his 40's this bring me to tears remember listening to this in the car with my mum and dad who recently died within a few weeks of one other. She was a beautiful lady as well not just a super talent.

I hope your life got better. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
sometimes the dream is more real than anything else
I kind of need to know your story now, though.
Best decade of music ever, wish I could go back there ❤️
I LOVED THE 80S BUT IT WAS NO MATCH FOR THE 1960S THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AT HOME IN THE SUMMER OF 64 GRAND

I don’t know what it is about the song and her voice but it’s almost hypnotic! And there’s some thing about her and her little 80s outfit she was one hot little number👍🏼🤩❤️
It wasn’t really an eighties outfit, it was supposed to be a throw back to the 1960s 😎
Those are def 80s outfits !
Well #1 Kirsty MacColl, #2 the lyrics, #3 the harmony, #4 Kirsty MacColl!
@@lukebandy516 No, she did those throwbacks to the 60s and 70s in her videos as well. This one harks definitely back to the 60.
Who had best legs Tracy or Cheryl bakers. I can't decide
Its an 80s song with a 60s feel
"Wall of sound" piano, great comment

Dan Williams agree ! Very catchy melody.
spot on. I still prefer kirsty's original. I find it more raw. amazing songwriting
Believe it or not. This is exactly why I came here. Song suddenly popped up in my head and I had to drive home and listen to it.
This is a beautiful song. Makes me wish it were 1983 again. Happy times those were!
Wish I was still there 🥰
Those were the days. I miss those days, too.
MTV was life. I would only babysit if the family had cable so I could see all the music videos. The Brits had the best songs!
Those were great times. But today is even better...at least for me.

I hear Tracey couldn't hit the high note on "Baby!" after the bridge, so that's Christy MacColl's vocal spliced in.
I like Tracey's version better

An amazing tune - and you get to hear the fantastic Kirsty MacColl ....... "baby"
I heard this playing in a furniture store today! Took me back a few years, talented lady!
Probably in the antiques section. Sigh!
It took me awhile to appreciate this song, but it's a great pop song that gives respect equally to New Wave and 60s Girl Groups.
That is such a beautiful mash-up of Sixties and Eighties glamour. Glitter in the hair, by golly. I did that in 7th grade. Such an incredibly talented, cute lady.

Ullman has always been fearless. And a great singer on her own.
Such a perfect song this is... perfect words, perfect melody, perfect emotion perfect sentiment and perfect execution from such an incredible talent... love it to death... thank you to all who create...
She is taking the the piss but what a talent, I never forget.God will bless Kirsty Mc Coll

I know what you mean bud miss those days so much wish I was still there to much shite in the world today...much simpler and happy times back then 👌

You’re not the only one!
With you on that miss those days so bad best times ever 😔
I remember when she was on Johnny Carson show and performed this. Seems like a million years ago.
17 February 1984.
I love novelty songs. This is a perfect little pop confection, and Tracey Ullman is a real talent.
1983! I was 19 and so in love with Tracey :')

Such a lovely song! Tracey is top draw.
Gteat song and still sounds great today.
For some reason,I didn't see this on the MTV all night videos,back in those days.
This is brilliant. Brilliant in a way,most viewers cannot appreciate. She is sexy, and at the same time mocking sexiness.
30 years ago. How come I remember that dress exactly? It must have made a great impression on my 12 year old self!
because it's great.
Was thinking the same thing.
***** Oh my !!
I love how powerful this song is
One of my favorite songs from that era.
I Didnt realize how hot Tracey was in the 80s, I would have then and probably
still would.
me too pal
Statements like these are always conditional pending consent.
The first time I saw her was when she was Susan's beatnik friend in "Plenty." I wasn't that impressed with her then, but she grew on me.
Totally agree
She looks great here.
Love the harmonies near the end
I don't like it when other boys says they love my Tracey. They don't know about us...and they've never heard of love. She's one in a billion, and the owner of my pathetic heart.
I remember Tracy's comedy show that was on television. It was awesome. I had no idea she sang this song
I friggin' LOVE THIS! I love her show too!
This was a winner, A very funny girl with a good voice !
Kirsty MacColl RIP babe! And great job Tracey even if you couldn't hit the "bay-bee!!"
The BABY was lifted from Kirsty’s original version of the song and tweaked in the studio one semitone higher for Tracey’s cover version.
