Loved this song ever since 1988! Was a huge hit in Australia and was popular in the US where it was featured in an episode of "Miami Vice." My understanding is Karl Hyde & Rick Smith regard this Underworld as a separate entity to the one who emerged with 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman' which possibly makes them one of the only groups with two debut albums..
For me this is still their Freur era. This is actually the third album they released, the first two under the name "Freur" (so in a way they had 3 debut albums lol). I just think they changed their name prematurely.
Wait, what @kajafreur527 ??? The UTR LP was (and still is) one of my favourite LPs ever... There are albums before this one?? @@kajafreur527 Can you please help me with links? I need to hear that sh!t. 🙏🙏🙏
@@axidhaus It’s actually a great story that I only really learned about in the last 10 years. I was into Underworld since ‘94 but I only read about their 80’s career in magazines, there was no internet back then. Karl was working as a session musician at Prince’s studio in Minneapolis. Rick came back to Essex and realised the new dance scene was blowing up and he wanted to make that music. They were both well into their 30’s and teamed up with younger Darren Emerson, watching him DJ at Milk Bar. The rest is history!
This became an instant fave when I first heard it. The energy, the pace, that driving rhythm… and the brilliantly choreographed clip! What's not to like!?
@@danielward7008 They completely reinvented themselves in the early 90's, pretty much becoming a different band, just with the same name. First they became just a duo, then DJ Darren Emerson joined and they immersed themselves in the new club culture. This is a great pop rock song though - you can see the talent and potential they had in the 80's.
First heard this song when it was released and I was 15. It immediately opened my ears and eyes to a new angle on music I had never experienced until that moment and broadened my musical horizons in a way I had not thought possible. 36 years later, still listening to it and enjoying it just as much as then.
As an 80s video and apart from the format, this has not dated at all. As a film school student I found great inspiration with this one take Steadicam choreography. Exceptional operating by the cinematographer, and with impeccable timing, this should really go down as one of the greatest music videos of all time. Raw analog, no VFX except for the picture in picture elements. Performance by the band is spot on and the sneering by the guitarist at the camera is classic and subtle humour. If only videos were still made like this.
I was a big fan of this back in the 80s in Oz and then quite some time later got into Underworld from a techno/dance sense living in the UK. It took me YEARS to realise this was the same guys! Ha! I guess that what happens when you never see the video.
I'm a natural 9"+ Alian male. Was pansing my girlfriend 3 time's a day when this was made in westoz. we dance'd @ le pub 2 it on 1990 Liberation Kwaite deployment. I waz a happee man 3 time's a day. 4 a while anneeway.
If you only heard Born Slippy, listen to their albums. You won't be dissapointed. Especially Dubnobasswithmyheadman and Second Toughest In The Infants. They became one of the most original bands of the 90's 👌
This album was recorded in one continuous single take (like a LIVE album, I guess). Very impressive. They must have practiced this songs 100 times to get it first take in the studio. So this song was a flex to show what they could do. I think it ended up being a good dance club hit.
Striking KILLER Talent Gentlemen!! I remember being introduced to you via MIAMI VICE with two Brilliant Tracks that Fit those Episodes with exacting style and autheticity. How does it feel to be framers of that Era of HISTORY?! You men put it Right out there, PERFECTLY and there will Never be another 1980's EVER AGAIN!!!
I got to see them in concert when they opened up for the Eurythmics at Radio City Music Hall....Fantastic show...and turned me into a fan of this band.
I saw them open for the Eurythmics as well in 1990 at the Universal Amphitheatre here in Los Angeles. What a great show! My buddy and co-worker Ned gave me tapes of all of the music, so I was more than ready when I went to this concert. Change the Weather is a great song as well. :)
What a great song I'm about to play this for a girl half my age she knows she tries to understand we live underneath the radar it's so terrible where is racism going on I have to fight Egyptians to protect a Spanish girl wow I can't explain more
im 57yrs old..3kids youngest18 my dad always taught me to be different.I was a mechanical engineer,my daughter is a Chemical engineer,my eldest son is a thriving businessman and my youngest son(18) has just got 2 acceptances from 2 different universities here in South Africa:None of them want to listen to this music.Were they correct?
Can't understand why this song fell into obscurity, always thought it was great. Even the artist/s seem to be unenthusiastic when interviewed, they appear to be almost embarrassed by this phase of their career. Go figure.

It's pleasant enough but it's nothing special. There's a reason why Underworld's best of compilation starts in 1992...
Nah this is Underworld's best track.
@@danielward7008are you saying this isn’t their best song ?
@@suckapow5808 Grow up.

This song really is underneath the radar.
Doot Doot by Freur is even more under the radar, which was actually mostly the same band in 1983.
@@ajs41
It’s actually on the soundtrack to Vanilla Sky, Cameron Crowe said he always liked it.
@@lucasm3879 Interesting, thanks.
Not really...

This is the Best period of Underworld !!!
Two firsts albums are the Golden!!!
This is one of those hidden gems that when heard now brings back great memories!
Getting a lot of airplay out here in Salt Lake City on 103.1
Loved this song in the 80s. Haven't heard it in years. Brought back some fond memories
After watching Matt Hall fly at the Australian international airshow and hearing this song it took me 9hrs to find this song 😍

I remember dancing to this in nightclubs when I was a teenager. It still sounds as fresh as the first time I heard it way back then.
I remember seeing Underworld in Australia 1988, not many knew of this group and then the Penny dropped
One of the best bands ever.
I wasn't expecting this. After I just heard Born Slippy
It just shows how talented and versatile Underworld really are
If you only heard Born Slippy, listen to their albums. You won't be dissapointed. Especially Dubnobasswithmyheadman and Second Toughest In The Infants. They became one of the most original bands of the 90's 👌
@@lucasm3879not too mention their Freur albums….
@@kajafreur527listen to the song Doot Doot from their previous incarnation as Freur…. Truly amazing !!
@@georgegiapitzis8204 I have, I love Freur. Endless Groove and The Piano Song are my favourite ones from Freur.
A very prophetic song, possibly the way we should all be living in these times. Been one of my favourites from the first time I heard it.
Its 2024, and I'm still dancing to this song. A truely brilliant Cold War song.
Underrated jam! Love this song
There is not a bad song on this album. The group is very underrated. Still jamming to them today.
I forgave them for that 80s-weird rubber ball one when i found out Born Slippy was them. Damn that's a good tune like Happy Mondays on hash
Karl Hyde is a very charismatic and cool guy. Seriously underrated frontman.
Produced by the late Rupert Hine (RIP 2020)
Amazing song . I feel the energy 💪
LOVE THIS❤
Definitely a great song... met my husband in 1989 and he was a radar plotter in the RAN
Song has more meaning now than it ever has before
My favorite Underworld son ever. Thanks to Panorama 80's From Germany.
son.
This was my favourite song
Great song! Thank you Miami Vice, you brought me here!❤❤❤
Saw these guys open for the Eurythmics back in 1990. Great concert!
Hard to believe it's the same band who did Born Slippy.
This album was recorded in one continuous single take (like a LIVE album, I guess). Very impressive. They must have practiced this songs 100 times to get it first take in the studio. So this song was a flex to show what they could do. I think it ended up being a good dance club hit.
The music ahead of time, it's from the future
I'm not sure I've ever heard an Underworld song with guitars before
They had guitar samples on Dubnobass and Second Toughest in The Infants??
Fuck I love this song.
makes more sense in 2023

That Steadicam operator deserves a medal.
I like This, a whole lot!
Fantastic ✨
Miami Vice classic.
Was it actually on the show?
@@ajs41 it was in the episode "Hostile Takeover"
Solid
Fabulous 💜🌄💯
1988 wants their song back
1987
MENTIONED ON RADIO ABC IN BRISBANE TODAY.
Pissed my parents off big time!
Yep 88 I remember waiting for the 5th season of Miami Vice to start and the very first opening scene with the train at night and this song.
Marathon import mix at the night club Miami vice style! Depeche PSB etc, take your smoke and drink to the floor!
Such.a jam
I always thought the laugh was too cheesy, but I got past that and I think it's a great song.
My first album pf braking out!
I went to see this band play live with my best friend "Wild Bill" William Wenbann
No one cares
What a stupid and pointless comment.
классно

Is it the same set of Glory Glory!? Why is the drummer so different? Did anything scare him, making him older in a couple of WEEK?😣🎅
