@@billy28 What's the difference between "pop groups" and "bands"?? Regardless of the music genre ("pop" or otherwise), music "groups" are "bands", and vice versa...SMH
Love the beat and the stomping sound this is one of the Greatest British groups of the 60's. Love Mike Smith's voice so strong and distinctive so clean looking
* Mike Smith great lead singer & Lenny Davidson capable lead guitar but rest of band mediocre and enhanced by studio musicians. They lip synched on TV and never did live concerts. ♣
jennifur sun. I agree Mike had a great voice. Personally I think the best voice in 60's rock 'n' roll was Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere & The Raiders. Just my opinion
Snuck into one of their afternoon rehearsals when I was a kid. The security guard kept kicking us out, and we would find a way back in. Finally Dave Clark told him to let us stay because they were rehearsing a new song, and needed to try it out on an audience! One of the highlights from my childhood!
I HAVE TO MAKE A COMMENT, I AM 43 AND THIS BAND WAS A BIG INSPIRATION TO ME GROWING UP, THANKS TO MY MUM R. I. P. AND BIG SHOUT OUT TO MY DAD. 💚💛🌷🌺🌸🌼💮💐🌹💜💙. Thank you for the music.
My earliest childhood memory was stomping my feet to this song in front of a B/W tv, i was about 3 years old, use to love the foot stomping part my mum says lol.
thats right - under rated and a good rock voice - but yuck for the band he was in - - pop fury NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE BEATLES - C'MON - One of the worse groups ever -a flash in the pan - just Beatle copiers - like other groups H Hermits for example .. - most songs Clark wrote went nowhere - they sucked - oh and D Clark just about the worse drummers of all time - he must have had one or two drum lessons - maybe ? .... he sure liked those little triplets breaks - almost in every song they did - and the songs you don't hear on the rest of their ALBUMS - so unknown - unplayed - unremembered - I hated them then - and still hate them now . being a real musician that I am - most musicians laugh at them . . . .
This song came out 10 years before I was born & I never heard it until I was 37, more than making up for lost time, I had it played on the nonstop oldies on Steve Wright show last week. Love it !!!
Thanks for this. The Collective Stomping on the wooden stage Totally rocks in addition to Their Choreographed Moves as They played. Short, but a musical masterpiece, indeed. I was 6 years old when this came out. I never got to see Them perform on TV. Thanks, again.
im only 19 and i just got listening to this song and i dont know what kind of song is this? looks like they are happy singing and do music too.. its really not my type ... anybody can give me old songs? i just wanna listen
Well, the reason I am here, I asked my wife politely to pick me up some cashews at the grocer. She did and brought home 373 grams/26 ounces in a jar. I looked at her and asked, I don't rate whole cashews? and she replied, All they had were 'bits and pieces', so here I am, reliving my youth with the DC5, one of the very first albums I bought. Thanks!
Lovely story. I won a DC5 'Bits and Pieces' 45 single at our local school's grade 7 Spot Dance. I wonder whether spot dances still go on or if the young kids even know what a spot dance is.
Wayne Welsh, thank you. I read from more than one source that DC was not a member. I was a teenager decades ago and have believed the incorrect info. Thank you. Love their music.
Dave Clark was only talented in scamming people. He was an average drummer who used studio musician Bobby Graham for his recordings and never wrote a song in his life
Lyrics: (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) Since you left me and you said goodbye (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) All I do is sit and cry (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) You went away and left me misery (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) And that’s the way it’ll always be (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) You said you loved me and you’d always be mine (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) We’d be together till the end of time (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) Now you say it was just a game (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) But all you’re doin’ is leavin’ me pain Time goes by and goes so slow (oh, yeah) It just doesn’t seem true Only just a few days ago You said you’d love me, never make me blue (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) Now you’ve gone and I’m all alone (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) And you’re still way up there on your throne (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) Nothin’ seems to ever go right (I’m in pieces, bits and pieces) ‘Cause night is day and day is night
Was reading about Bob Dylan and somehow I got here! Loved this so much. I loved DC5 and Manfred Mann back in the day, Was a HUGE fan. Ahhhhhhh!!!! 60s music - THE BEST EVER. This youtube is pretty clunky - but lots of fun.
This song used to get a lot of air time in the Pacific northwest. I think the tune was way ahead of its time. I still love it and that lead singers raspy voice!
A Top 5 hit for The Dave Clark Five in May 1964. Though they made their mark, I feel that they could never get out of the shadow of The Beatles. I remember my cousins had this in their record collection.
This is the earliest tune I can remember and this show. I was sitting on my aunts knee as she bounced me up and down. I think she was baby sitting us , mum and dad went out for a well earned drink raising 7 kids they need a night out haha
This record was removed from the juke box in a coffee bar I used to frequent back in the day in Ilfracombe. The owner was fed up with people banging the tables in time with the beat. Spoil sport! Brilliant era to have grown up in.
Concert I went to with my big sister in1963 or 1964 I was around 13-14 years old at the time was at the Astoria at Finsbury Park with the Beatles,Dave Clarke, Cilla,Billy J Kramer, Freddie & the Dreamers & Brian Pool & the Tremeloes ,Gerry & the Pacemakers what great times!! now look at the mess we are in
I think most people realized that Mike Smith the keyboardist was the lead vocalist. Dave Clark was a show biz impresario at a young age. He created the band, the songs, and managed its business, so he could do as he pleased. Mike Smith did all right by Dave Clark.
I was six when these songs came out in 1964. I never forgot those songs of my childhood. I've always liked the songs from 1963-1966 much better than what came after. They sure dressed better back then too.

The London challengers to the Beatles ultimate throne but nonetheless talented .... My mum as a local Edmonton girl dated Mike Smith back in the day just before they hit the big time... he took her back home and sang and played piano to her
The "Buttering" style he used was one that not many could master. He was a master at it. Dave Clark was a damn good drummer. He didn't get the credit he deserved. Sad that so many criticize him.

Just a great song of the time and it was a great time. I am so happy that I was a part of it.

These guys were a band and not single performers ,, collectively they were fab ,,,
They were nothing without lead singer-songwriter, even if Dave took credit.
I grew up with DC5 they were awesome. But I can't help but laughing at this video it great

Me and my mate found this accidentally.
We are now both in love with the song.
My god !! They are all so handsome !!
Played this record over and over again as a teenager.Nearly drive my poor mum mad
My sister did , I can still remember our mum banging the stairs , turn that row down
They are still great! Musicians may die but their music lives on forever!

I love the Dave Clark five I'm 55 this year underrated band
There is not a single song I did not love by them very amazing group.
Aah, the memories.
Great old golden oldie!Dave Clark Five were a great band!Good dance music for its time.
The kings of the 2 minute tunes
I remember when my dad brought their album home for me, I must've been 9 - 10 yrs old. Listened to it over & over again!
Ah, the Tottenham sound. Great to see this again. RIP Mike Smith.
Spurs are getting left in Bits and Pieces this season.
WoW….sixty years later and here we are remembering !

Another song we stamp our feet to you feet.Another great song.

Until you skinned him and fed him to the dogs?
Pretty much.

most upbeat song ever about a guy getting dumped
My first favourite group.
As a drummer, on TV, this group was hard to beat. That bright red sparkle set of ROGERS drums was STUNNING !!
I was 4 years old but loved DC5. In fact, I called my goldfish Dave Clark.
Yeah!
He swam around the bowl doing nothing and took all the credit!

At Montebello High (in '64) they had a JUKEBOX in the lunchroom...and the kids would play this song 'over and over'!
I see what you did there.
Lyrics:
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
Since you left me and you said goodbye
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
All I do is sit and cry
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
You went away and left me misery
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
And that’s the way it’ll always be
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
You said you loved me and you’d always be mine
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
We’d be together till the end of time
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
Now you say it was just a game
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
But all you’re doin’ is leavin’ me pain
Time goes by and goes so slow (oh, yeah)
It just doesn’t seem true
Only just a few days ago
You said you’d love me, never make me blue
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
Now you’ve gone and I’m all alone
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
And you’re still way up there on your throne
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
Nothin’ seems to ever go right
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
‘Cause night is day and day is night
This brings back childhood memories! Wish I could go back in time
Wow you don't look near that old...

Only clip I've seen of any DC5 song where you might realize Mike Smith is lead vocalist. Dave Clark was such a control freak.
Yes. Dave was a crap vocalist, but he presented himself as the front man for the group, even though he was in back pretending to pound the drums.
