For anyone who doesn't know, Liverpool was a hotbed of unemployment at the time and a lot of demonstrations and riots took place there. A "UB40" was a brown card given to the unemployed to take with them to Government stations to sign the unemployment register in order to receive meagre Government payouts.
Debbi has an amazing voice. Part of me wishes she sang lead on more of their songs than she did. The other part of me likes it the way it was because we would have missed out on the absolute beauty of Debbi and Vicki harmonizing together on the supporting vocals that they did.
Loved this song and the album for decades. Only caught the video on TH-cam a couple of years ago. Didn’t know until then that Nimoy was on it. I’m a Star Trek fan and Bangles fan. Seems like something I should have known all these years.
I remember them doing this on The Tube in the 80s, and thinking "Going Down To Liverpool" only has one verse repeated three times, no chorus as such, barely any lyrics, no great depth or meaning, and yet... It's fucking brilliant!! Listening now, it's so simple but it hits a sweet vibe and sucks you right in. You too wanna "go down to Liverpool and do nothing for the rest of your life" with these cool-assed people!! My favourite Bangles track by far.
I was playing this as I drove down the M62 into Liverpool to start university in 1986. I was so excited and fully intending to do nothing. If only I could have had Spock driving me, but that would have been illogical
Leonard Nimoy was the chauffeur for The Bangles in their music video for 1984's "Going Down To Liverpool." He took on the part as a favor to the video's director, Tamar Simon Hoffs, mother of Bangles member Susannah Hoffs. He was a long-time friend of the Hoffs family.
I don't know why but I always thought this song was a number one here in England, apparently it only made number 56 and didn't make the top twenty anywhere in the world.
I forgot the drummer sang this song, great voice. This is one of those easy breezy song gems that simply works on every level without trying too hard. A totally underrated song with a great hook and next level melodies. This is the type of song most bands wish they had in their catalog. Whenever this song came on the radio it instantly lifted the energy and positivity in the room, car, or wherever it was played.
I thought the all had good voices. The unusual thing is that in this band they did not think that the lead singer should be the one who sang all the songs, it was not only unusual back then it is even true today.
A Bangles song about Heroin. In the mid-1980s, an influx of cheap brown heroin gave Liverpool another bad reputation as “smack city”. Other parts of the Mersey Region, including the areas of the Wirral and Bootle had similar high levels of heroin use
A band member of the go-go's made it into a star trek movie. Star trek 4, the voyage home. (She's on one of the back screens) Reporting in to starfleet headquarters
He helped ruin my life. Don't be logical. The World is generally not conducive to it. Make big strong loving families. Do that and you won't be as rude and miserable as me when you ignorant twats grow up and go do something useful
Yes... They all had great singing voices. But of course, Susana Hoffs was the band's "IT Girl". I get it, she was cute as hell, but it's not like the remaining three were unattractive and talentless.
I always liked Katrina and the Waves, but this is one tune where the cover raises the original to new heights. and having "Spock" in the video is a wonderful touch.
@@NeilCWCampbell To me, the really cool guy-along with Spock-was Illya Kuryakin in "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." Still, at 88, David McCallum is still cool as Dr. Ducky Mallard on "NCIS" (or anything else he's done over the years).
I know the story of why Nimoy was in the video but still got such a kick out of it. The Bangles, still a relatively new act, being driven around by the legendary Spock. How mind-bending is that? RIP.
Aww, I heard this little gem just last night on Radio 2!! Superb song! And Leonard Nimoy in the driving seat LOL. Love it. So cool I need to hear it again.
I have said it before and will say it again. One of the best pop songs of the 80s. I live it as much today as I did back in 1984 I had so hoped it would be a huge hit for them. Its the perfect pop song in the perfect key with perfect harmony. I wish we had a time machine
Re: the song's subject matter,unemployment in the UK soared past 3 million at the tail end of 1981,and didn't fall back below that figure until the earliest bit of 1987!
Vicki Peterson's comedic timing at 1:21 is awesome! This is such a great song! Debbi Peterson plays drums and sings lead on this! (I remember seeing this on MTV's "Live at the Syria Mosque" in PA back in 1986.) The Bangles are the best when it comes to 4-part harmonies!!
These girls should have made it big with the first album All Over The Place. Going down to liverpool or Hero takes a fall could have been the first single.Great debut album by these girls.
I love cameos in the videos from the eighties. Nimoy's expressions say it all. I don't think I would have fooled with the radio once he shut it off though
This was my lockdown song. On furlough, unemployment looming. Walking on my own in the sun listening to this. Felt like it was apt (except I was 30miles up the road in Manchester)
I remember watching this video with my dad once in the early 2000’s and he described Leonard Nimoy’s facial expressions as “What the heck am I even doing here??” 😂😂 Anyway, this song is absolutely amazing and I think Walk Like an Egyptian overshadowed this song. Either way, this is a great song and band
This song brings tears to my eyes. First heard it on Radio 1 when up early to get the coach to London to meet up with my brothers and find work, after being unemployed for seemingly years. Oh the irony...
Fascinating... Susanna Hoff's family was very close to Leonard Nimoy's. His kids, Susanna and her brothers used to play together. So it was quite normal for Susanna to ask him if he would like to join the Bangles in this video.
My all-time favorite Bangles song -- and one of my favorite songs Ever. Period..... oh, and Leonard Nimoy was 52 years old in this video but doesn't look a day over 30. He stayed young-looking for a long time. (R.I.P.)
Love this song. Unfortunate it never got the same recognition and radio play as their most famous songs and wish they had more songs like this. Didn't even know it had a video until I just stumbled on this. Definitely fits in with indie / college rock, maybe it gets some airplay on those stations. Original was written for Katrina and the Waves (makes sense given Liverpool is in England) but this take on it sounds a lot better.
This was the first Bangles song I heard,in 1985 when it didn't chart. Following their number 2 success with Manic Monday,followed by If She Knew What She Wants,this song was re-issued in mid-1986 and did chart but fell short of the Top 40. Later that year came Walk Like an Egyptian,of course.
@@rjjcms1 Hero Takes A Fall ,and this are classic, much better than Manic Monday, and Walk Like An Egyptian, pretty good, but also not nearly as powerful . .
It's not the same now but way back then, Liverpool was practically the home of English unemployment and there were fears from the establishment that it was becoming the birthplace of revolution (seriously). Until Derek Hatton, hailed as the leader of change but really a nobhead, became leader of the city. Now HE was Liverpool's big mistake.
@@rafaelsale6364 "Spock" is a Conservative lackey trying to silence them, and so he is everything this intensely political song from Thatcher's wasteland protests against.
that vid is genius. minimal=maximum...that is talent. car, star. gifted vision...sitting in a car, walking down a back entrance and lighting. Kapow! who directed that...probably the bangles. brilliant!
1:20 I like how Nimoy "Spocked-Out", did he forget that he also tried his bit at singing? A forgotten gem from the Bangles, BTW. Enjoy your voyage to the stars, Lenny!
It's so strange - American women singing an Englishman's song and the Englishman comes from down South so technically he'd be going up if he wanted to go to Liverpool.
My favourite Bangles video of all time, directed by award-winning writer, director, producer Tamar Simon Hoffs, mother of Susanna Hoffs, and very close friend of Leonard Nimoy and all the Nimoy family. Rest in peace Leonard Nimoy. Live Long and Prosper out there amongst the stars.

Yea, Lenard Nemoy, you Bangles know how to make a video. I like how he takes his Vulcan mind to try to contemplate what these humans are doing in the back of his car at 1:15.

Agreed; the omission is highly illogical. ;-)
I've always liked The Bangles better. It took forever to get the Moody Blues in. Hope it's less of a wait.
I had no idea. That is disgraceful

VulcanTrekkie he brought his Star Trek character into this.
When the video started, & Mr Nimoy took off his shades, I recognized him! 🖖
Lol! I like your comment.
Nobody understands them. But we love them anyway.
Can't get over how cute Susanna is in this video. She likes to find a face to sing to and Mr. Spock got that honor!

Rest In Peace Leonard Nimoy.
The only Star Trek movie I ever went to see was; "Search For Spock." Good luck on your new trek Mr. Nimoy.
tryithere True story: 2 of my friends who never watched a Star Trek episode before did so because of this video back in the day.
tryithere eyes on the road there Mr. Nimoy lol. 5 second glances turned around not paying attention to the road causes accidents :D
hellokitty1006 never said he would be a good taxi driver... by the way am a scouser
tryithere Here's something odd: I clicked this song because i thought it was Leonard Cohen!
I LOVE how flawlessly and beauifully they harmonise together :D
The guitar sound also blends real well with the Harmonies.
Fascinating. A flawlessly logical statement.
Not sure what it is, but every time I see Susanna Hoff singing...... oh my.
We'll miss the driver; he lived long and prospered.
We prospered because he lived long.

Leonard Nimoy had incredible charisma. He could have played comedy brilliantly - so talented, he could do anything.
Such a great pop-rock band. And their harmonizing is some of the best ever.

Depends on what you mean by "original". The Canadian release of the KATW album is much better than the version they later released in America.
I can't get over how super cool Nimoy is in this!
The only thing missing is the ears.
Possibly the coolest guy in the sixties... possibly second to rod Serling (or sterling I can never remember)
My voiceover style is based in part by his voice.

DAMN.... ...("the uploader has not made this video available in your country" )
