An absolute banger. The nonces dancing in the studio clearly have no clue what the song is about. This song kept me sane in some dark times. God bless Pete Wylie.
Completely forgot about this song until it appeared on my 80's Spotify list, and immediately brought back memories of my school days era. Awesome tune 👍
Brilliant band fronted by it's songwriter Pete Wylie. Sad Josie Jones died she was a character. And yes people did return back to Liverpool & it is a great vibrant city today.
Ian you're talking a load of Bollocks ................................... like most Liverpudlian Teenagers back in 1984 couldn't get away quick enough from The Fuck in mess our City was in!
Tends to get overlooked by The Story of the Blues - this is a much better record in my view. Apparently it brought John Peel to tears when he first heard it, he felt it to be that good.
When life was simpler , today is too image obsessed , im looking at Pete and thinking today they they would want his hair to be perfect , and wear veneers
2024 and this song still sounds amazing Mr Wylie...pure class 👏👏👏.

R.I.P Beautiful 🙏❤️

An Absolute Masterpiece.
Absolute Classic
Pet Wylie on TOTP? Those were the days when charts were charts.
one from 80s best tunes, lov it😍
The British invaded the world with good music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. Unfortunately, they gave up in 21 first century.
This is an epic song. 😊
Rest in Peace Josie 😢❤
Great, great song. Pete is a marvellous songwriter.
Top tune, can I go back please
Pete was born for top of the pops . Legend . The Eric’s scene and Liverpool was Petes play ground .
Music and artists from a different time ❤️
Well done Josie you are the best it can ever get so beautiful on top of the pops x
What an inspirational song! And the pisstake swooning dance to show the silliness of miming your hit song is pure genius. Wah Pete!!
Completely forgot about this song until it appeared on my 80's Spotify list, and immediately brought back memories of my school days era. Awesome tune 👍

John peel was spot on, an absolutely brilliant song.
Great song
Made 2 of the most memorable songs of the 80s if there are more please tell me
His early single Better Scream is also a banger.
Sinful 86 👍
Hope (I Wish You'd Believe Me) & You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory.
The follow up single to this, called ''Weekends''. Stunning.

"Joe Owens Talking Sense" on youtube Top Man and this is a Top Song.

I was sad to discover the girl in this, Josie Jones died in 2015. Oh and good job by the way top & tailing the "official video" into the TOTP clip.
That's very sad indeed.
Does anyone know how or why Josie died?
@@teodelfuego gosh I didn't know till now.. Rip
Love it
R.I.P. , Josie Jones 🙏 🌺 ♥️
Amazing

Great shout Mark and i agree it does get over looked.
@@jfkfanclub Thank you. I'm sure we both agree that it deserves to be heard more widely.

COYB's ....but orsm tune anyways ,,🙂
When life was simpler , today is too image obsessed , im looking at Pete and thinking today they they would want his hair to be perfect , and wear veneers
I don’t know why but he reminds me of a young Ken Dodd sometimes.
I think the TOTP cameraman is well in love with that blonde lady.
Lush and particulate
A young sly Stallone
Is that Washington on bass ?
Yes.
A bit Manic Street Preachers?
Liverpool ..the centre of the universe
Not the perspective of anywhere else.
Says some random no mark.
Am I silly, don't the Manic Street Preachers, sounds similar
I thought that too, especially at the beginning
Great song
Amazing
