Picture someone who's had a few drinks getting really angry about something and shouting while banging their hand on the table for emphasis - that's what this song reminds me of
All the more amusing then that, when some car company or another approached CW about using the tune in a commercial, they first negotiated a $50 000 fee, then turned around and donated it all to The Ruckus Society, an anti-capitalist direct-action group.
Right? In America if you're getting pissed there might be a fight, and Great Britain if you're getting pissed you're getting drunk so there probably will be a fight
When I was in Northern England I was staying at a friends house and the day was Saturday. Some of my friends friends came over and we were asked if we were going to go with them Tubthumping tonight. Being a foreigner I asked what that was. After much laughter I was told that all week the "common' people were hard at work having to deal with all sorts of issues, angry customers, angry bosses etc and Saturday night was there night to go and vent off all the frustration and steam that had built up over the week. We visited 5 bars that night and at each one was a local group of people playing various instrument's and everyone singing along, dancing, toasting , etc etc. Even if you don't drink that much by the end of the night you are exhausted. Very fun indded.
Pretty much every reaction Brad's like wondering whether he made the right life choices, whereas Lex is like screaming to go faster and faster on the roller-coaster of life 😂😂
When this song came out, they were the musical guests on saturday night live and performed this. They were all wearing shirts that said "one hit wonder" on them. They knew....
One of the band members had an Irish neighbor that would sit up all night drinking( whiskey drink, lager drink, etc.)until he was out of his mind, falling down (I get knocked down but I get up again), and yelling. Since he was Irish he sang “Danny Boy”, an Irish ballad. The song makes more sense if you know this.
Chumbawamba is a british punkband, which was for years on tour trough europe. one of the best live-performances i´ve ever seen in the punk-era. and they are the kindest people i´ve met in this business
The band has punk roots and a working class angle... view the lyrics from that perspective. The camaraderie of the pub, and the pride of taking shots from those in power, but getting back up again... I don't know if they intend the Danny Boy reference to an Irish immigrant angle in the North of England or not, but it still calls to mind those with a shovel over the shoulder, and hands that wont quit.
IIRC , I thought that this song was actually a satire of the "bro" mentality that goes along with that. And that it was taken seriously by people who didn't know their other music.
This is the most pop song (and album) of an anarchist punk band that has some really great tunes. the song is best enjoyed in england, after a football game at a pub that is filled with drunk football fans :) the song was also in a FIFA game and I think it might've been like the official song of a world cup or something.
So the story goes, the band were squatting in a house and their neighbour would go out, get very drunk, then come back struggling to get back in his house singing "oh Danny boy" to himself whilst doing it. Funnily it was the only song of their's to go international and they gave all the money to charity
I remember as a kod this being the first cd i ever purchased. Definitely a throw back. Brad and Lex i love what yall do! Positive vibes for yall from Texas!
Chumbawamba was an English rock band that formed in 1982 and disbanded in 2012. The band drew on genres such as punk rock, pop, and folk. The band are best known for their song "Tubthumping", which was nominated for Best British Single at the 1998 Brit Awards. Other singles include "Amnesia", "Enough Is Enough" (with MC Fusion), "Timebomb", "Top of the World (Olé, Olé, Olé)", and "Add Me". "Pissing the night away" would translate to "Drinking (alcoholic beverages) all night." To be pissed in England is to be drunk, to be pissed in the US is to be angry. In England, a tubthumper is a politician.
This is a uk pub track - usually played when everyone is wankered about an hour and half before closing to get everyone up and spilling drinks so they buy more booze!
This was a good one. I was living in the UK when this came out. I remember driving on the M25 around London singing this out loud with my wife. Classic Brit!!
You better believe wherever you are , when you hear this hook you would be shaking your head. Big in the 90's club. You should do Hardaaway What is love 👍
I was just about to say "what do you mean was, they just put out ABCD a couple years back" but that was 2010, time is just flying by and 2020 was a hell of a decade
@@michaelccozens I have no problem with them “cashing in” They admitted that this song was a concerted effort to make money, because they were sick of how easy it was to make a “hit” song. I personally believe that was one of the biggest “punk rock” moves ever made.
@@johnnyryall1400 That's not what Dunstan Bruce told The Guardian about Tubthumping: "It’s not our most political or best song, but it brought us back together. The song is about us - as a class and as a band. The beauty of it was we had no idea how big it would be."
This was the intro music of a very popular soccer video game from the 90s and I played that game so many times, this song was burned into my brain. Everyone knew this song back when. Its just a fun song. This was the first song I ever learned on guitar.
Chumbawumba were together for 30 years and released 16 albums. This is far from their best song but it accidentally became a world wide number 1 hit, dig a bit deeper into their discography and you'll find more substance.
It's funny. I originally bought the album Tubthumping in my 20s because this single but I kept listening to the album for decades for the rest of the songs. I found their smarter, more political stuff more appealing as I aged.
I do enjoy watching Brad and Lex. Brad you can see his brain in overdrive trying to understand and decipher the lyrics, and Lex is jamming to the music getting into it.
A few things to consider that makes this song more clear: 1) The group, Chumbawamba, are a UK-based group. 2) In England, "pissing" refers to drinking alcohol, not urinating. So the lyric, _"Pissin' the night away,"_ means, "Drinking the night away." 3) "Danny Boy" was a call sign for WWII British pilots, and has since become associated with social drinking in the UK (as WWII pilots often chugged beers after flying successful sorties). The song is more or less about drinking at a pub, as the person described in the song drinks a whiskey, a vodka, a lager, and cider. Presumably drunk, he sings songs of better days (another common practice among English pub drinkers).
Oh how I remember being at parties in the 90s "pissing the night away" (it means getting drunk, or rather, wasted), and when this song came up, basically the whole room starts jumping about and singing along, some people falling down - but alas, they get up again (unless they don't). Basically, any song played right after it is wasted, because everyone's completely exhausted.
This is a case of Official Video needed to clear up the lyrics meaning lol. Especially showing people going in and out of the pub bathroom during the Pissing lyrics.
Normal that you see something Irish in the song. The lyrics are about the Irish fighting spirit, and even mention Danny boy, the best known song in traditional Irish music.
Watching this reminds me of other songs that came out around this time frame, y'all should some Mighty Mighty Bosstones. The Impression That I Get was a huge hit of there's that came out around the same time frame as this song.
I think this was so popular because it is not only catchy but it also had a message everyone could relate to, getting knocked down but getting up again. I particularly like the you’re never gonna keep me down part as I really relate that to some people at work try to knock you down because they suck.
Earlier 90s, my child hood memories. That song was really famous at the skating ring. You just better get out the way when it starts playing unless you want to get skated over.
Danny Boy is the name of a popular British song whose lyrics were written in 1913 and set to an Irish melody from the 1800s. It's been rerecorded at least 15 times since. I believe that the "Danny Boy" in the background of this song is intended as an example of "the songs that remind him of the good times" and/or the "songs that remind him of the better times." When I was in elementary school, we had to learn this song for an Irish-themed choir concert at a nursing home, and half the audience was in tears. It really resonates with old people because the song is from the point of view of a parent and/or guardian sending their child off on an extended journey that will very likely outlast the singer's remaining lifespan.
Dropkick Murphy's "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" And was I the only one who watched on mute? After living through it, there's no way I'm letting that earworm fill my head! 🙉
its an inspirational song a protest song a celebration song, its a song for all situations of optimism and hope. you should do the lager song from the film trainspotting another great number from the same era
There are two things about this song I always remember "pissin'" is British slang for drinking, so drinking the night away. And the band were self described anarchists and literally told people to steal their album, which their label didn't appreciate obviously so they stopped promoting them and they became a one hit wonder.
Definitely 00s era drinking song. It was a huge one hit and was in a bunch of movies (especially teen/college movies at the time). But just like "who let the dogs out", it got old fast. It had a very good time in the sun, but I remember near the end of its run, you could definitely make people groan by putting this song on haha.
This song by the English Chumbawamba was a big hit at the time, and was one of the best known of the many great songs that were used in the 90s to make the great soundtracks of FIFA video games. All of them were songs with a lot of energy, the ones that make your day. You should react to two other great British hit songs in FIFA videogames: Republica - Ready to go (also English) and Bis - Eurodisco (Scottish).
Love this song. It always has brought a smile to my face. You should also check out Jump Jive an' wail. It's from the 90"s. I think it's a one hit wonder honestly.
English punk ew wave\ alternative bands of the 90’s. Never knew what you were gonna get😳😁 It is a catchy tune, can keep going and going! Ok with me. I don’t have to think too much with these kind of songs👍

This is a 90s bar song, in my personal opinion I think the 90s was the best decade for bar songs like Closing Time, Save Tonight, Don't Look Back in Anger just to name a few. Everytime I hear songs like this I wanna grab a drink and go to a local dump bar where you can smell stale beer piss urinals and cigarette smoke, ahhh the good ole days
This Punk band got to number one in the charts with this song. They were invited to play this song at a music award ceremony and when they finished the lead singer Norbert Nobacon went to the table of a well known labour politician and poured a jug of water on his head, class. Their first album Pictures of Starving Children is a musical masterpiece.
This song was massive in the UK when I was a kid. Used to go round my grandparents next door neighbors and their son was playing this on repeat just because his name was Danny
FRIM SHEFFIELD IN YORKSHIRE UK NORTH OF ENGLAND, 24 YEARS AGO APPROX, GREAT SONG WHEN YOUR PISSED OR NOT, ALSO THEY WERE LEFT WING ACTIVST, WHICH SHOWS YOU DONT HAVE TO BE RIGHT TO GET BACK UP AGAIN LOL
It's actually about an Irish neighbour they had. He would work hard all week, but on a Friday night he would go to local pub and drink like a fish and start singing old Irish songs.
the two big british passions .... drinking and fighting =/ . tub thumping refers to downing a drink and slamming the glass down. haha, i may sound like it offends me, but i loved this song when it was released, and i still do now! big love to all people :)
There was a time when you could play this song at any party and every single person there would sing along. Ah, the good old days.
Next up...the macarena
I don't remember this ever being played at any parties I went to. Must be a regional thing.
@@unholydriver4987 I suspect more likely a generational thing. It was a massive global party hit when it came out.
@@maxis5650 I suppose it's possible. Lol

Tubthumping is British slang for having a loud opinionated rant. Particularly a political one.
Thanks definitely didn’t know that
Picture someone who's had a few drinks getting really angry about something and shouting while banging their hand on the table for emphasis - that's what this song reminds me of
@@ZannNewman Yeah , that's the point of calling it that. It isn't praise for what they're singing about. It is satirical scorn.
All the more amusing then that, when some car company or another approached CW about using the tune in a commercial, they first negotiated a $50 000 fee, then turned around and donated it all to The Ruckus Society, an anti-capitalist direct-action group.
Yep, and ChumbaWamba is an anarcho-communist group, so they would be likely to be Tubthumping regularly.
Once you hear it, damage is done forever. You'll never forget the damn song.
Tru😂
Yeah Brad hoped for it to play in a loop in his head. Be careful what you wish for.
This and 500 miles

This song will pop in your head after 5 years of not hearing the song nor mention of the song - and suddenly... there it is. Stuck on repeat.

Right? In America if you're getting pissed there might be a fight, and Great Britain if you're getting pissed you're getting drunk so there probably will be a fight
Well in Britian if you lose Twenty pounds its a bad thing, in America if you lose twenty pounds it normally good thing

This is a great example of a 90 s party song.

Everytime I hear songs like this I wanna grab a drink and go to a local dump bar where you can smell stale beer piss urinals and cigarette smoke, ahhh the good ole days
Who remembers singing along to this in Wetherspoons on a Friday night with a beer in one hand and a cig in the other those were the days
This Punk band got to number one in the charts with this song. They were invited to play this song at a music award ceremony and when they finished the lead singer Norbert Nobacon went to the table of a well known labour politician and poured a jug of water on his head, class. Their first album Pictures of Starving Children is a musical masterpiece.
*Danbert Nobacon (hence the 'Danny Boy' in the song)
@@gregbooth9680 thanks for the correction.
Have you ever done Dropkick Murphys - Rose Tattoo. Great listen.
As a 98' argentinian kid this is part of me, alongside Dragón Ball GT and Martín Palermo
This song was massive in the UK when I was a kid. Used to go round my grandparents next door neighbors and their son was playing this on repeat just because his name was Danny
FRIM SHEFFIELD IN YORKSHIRE UK NORTH OF ENGLAND, 24 YEARS AGO APPROX, GREAT SONG WHEN YOUR PISSED OR NOT, ALSO THEY WERE LEFT WING ACTIVST, WHICH SHOWS YOU DONT HAVE TO BE RIGHT TO GET BACK UP AGAIN LOL
It's actually about an Irish neighbour they had. He would work hard all week, but on a Friday night he would go to local pub and drink like a fish and start singing old Irish songs.
the two big british passions .... drinking and fighting =/ . tub thumping refers to downing a drink and slamming the glass down. haha, i may sound like it offends me, but i loved this song when it was released, and i still do now! big love to all people :)
Beer or the other drinks get knocked down and gets refilled or pissed away.
One of the greatest punk bands.
