You’re in for a treat! Goldfrapp has many bangers, including Alison’s solo stuff. I recommend checking other songs like Strict Machine, Number 1 and Ride A White Horse
She’s back in the studio as of Spring 2021! I hope the next album is a dance extravaganza! She’s been posting a lot of disco and new wave classics on Instagram.
i would like to reinstate all the offence. this is only ahead of its time if the person claiming that has no knowledge of anything more than a few years old and little sense of curiosity, and that would make them a person I think should be offended more often
I always think this group never got as big as it should have or the credit it deserves. Alison Goldfrapp I am sure influences Madonna and not the other way around.
It all seems very Biba (that was '1970s do the 1920s') and given the sound is quite glam rock, I reckon that was what Goldfrapp were going for, with this video.
I wonder how much money Netflix paid them in order to start using this song in their documentary series. It was in HIGH. About the girls who got busted in Lima Peru
Nice. It conjures up old memories of "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum (1969), which was a huge power-rock number on the radio when I was in my teens.
I am 57. I rolled into costco gas, rolling in on my 10yr old BMW 740li, blazing this track. A fellow in his late 20s working there, leans into my window and says “who is this? It’s a great rip!” Classic

I was fortunate enough to see Goldfrapp in concert in Seattle @ 5-6 years ago. So good. Didn’t need any chemical help to be intoxicated by her sexy voice.
She has done wonderful things for the last 20 years or so. Bumped into her in 1989, yes.. I left an impression.... Best to Seattle, got friends there. 😉
@@mariahspapaya quite obviously, it's not pure glam rock. but it has heavy glam rock undertones. like a lot of Goodfrapp's stuff, they "borrow" quite heavily from 70s and 80s music.
Thank you Marc Bolan, David Bowie, Roxy Music, New York Dolls and Sweet for inspiring this great song and video. And of course "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum.
It was right before TH-cam. But I even remember hearing her albums in cafes and restaurants in Boston. Head First stuff was wicked popular there and in NYC. I hope the next album is a dance extravaganza.
Having been a teenager in that decade all I can say is "YOU HAVE GOTTA BE JOKING, the early 70's were appalling". if only it had been as good as this song.
@simonwoolgrove8773 amazing how different experiences can be. I was a teenager in the 70s and loved every minute of that time. If I could go back I'd do in the snap of my fingers.
Used to listen to this all the time in the early 2000's. Woke up this morning randomly singing it in my head... Thankfully I found it by searching "Bands that start with G".
Lyrics: Dial up my number now Weaving it through the wire Switch me on, turn me up Don't want it Baudelaire Just glitter lust Switch me on, turn me up I want to touch you you're just Made for love I need la la la la la I need ooo la la la la Calls up and round me Teasing your poetry Switch me on, turn me up Oh child of Venus you're just Made for love You know I walk for days I wanna waste some time You wanna be so mean You know I love to watch I wanna love some more I'll never be the same A broken heel like a heart I'll never walk again
I have Black Cherry, which I love. I bought Head First on the strength of Rocket and Alive, which are fantastic, but hated the rest of that album. Sorely tempted to buy this one, but is there anything good on it besides this track?
This takes me right back to primary school in 1973, aged 11, listening on a clandestine radio on a Tuesday lunch time to Radio 1 for that week's Top 10. The heyday of Glam Rock - Sweet, Roxy Music, T Rex, Bowie, etc.
This Song reminds me of a lot of songs... of course "spirit in the sky" . "Baby did a bad bad thing" by chis issak and "on the road again" by canned heat .... but ... love this song !!
If you checked on wikipedia , they admit on a interview that they inspired this song from Spirit in the sky which most famous songs get inspired from . the bass lines and chords are among the famous that were always repeated by artist
I love Goldfrapp and have done for many years ever since I first heard Strict Machine, I guess that must be about 20ish years ago (I just Googled it and it came out in 2003, so I wasn't far off). I've met Alison and Will a few times (and I might add that she (Alison, sorry Will) is a beautiful in real life as she appears on screen but sadly, I would not be her cup of tea!) Anyway, the point of this comment was meant to be that occasionally I am asked to teach the odd person how to play a bit of bass. I'm not a teacher by a long way but one of the things I always suggest, is to find a song you like that is very simple to play and one that you can play along with it without needing to know very much (a genius and original method I know ;-)...). I say this as I find it gives you a bit of confidence if you can play a whole song and is less boring than learning scales etc (you still need to learn those btw!) I was teaching one of my daughter's friends (she was around nine or ten at the time) when we had her and her parents over for dinner one evening, and (egged on and accompanied by my daughter) she played along to a Gorillaz (I think) song in full. The look of absolute pride on her face was brilliant (almost as proud as her parents looked!) No mean feat for two very small girls, each playing one of my Rickenbacker 4003's (they looked both adorable and dwarfed in equal measure!) It doesn't matter if it's very easy or a super complicated Geddy Lee/Les Claypool/Stanley Clarke type thing (though to be honest, if you're a beginner and can do that, you need a much, much, much better teacher than me!), it's just fun to be able to do the whole thing and even a one one bassline, will teach you a bit about timing. Getting to the point, this is one of the songs I recommend as the bassline is simply (more or less, and don't worry about any pedals etc); A| -0-0-0-0-3-5-3-0-0-0-0, repeated. I think the original might have been played on a keyboard bass or similar but I am not sure.
Oh damn... Always thought this song reminded of something I've heard but never could put my finger on it. Just realised this is a knock off an Indian song Jhoom Jhoom Jhoom baba.
I FUCKIN LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! SO stylish with great attention to detail, the bass line is the shit. This is what being high feels like for me, lol. Cant get enough!!
More like 80s synth pop with those instruments & Simmons style drum pads. 70s was glam, sure but not in this way. Yes I’m old enough to remember it all. 🤨
@@normturner4849 is said 'homage to', not 'copy of'. If you're old enough to remember the 70's, as I am, you'll remember those clothes and boots. Not to mention 'Don Powell' on the drums 😃
I missed these guys, they are great...wasn't on my radar before. But they are excellent; thanks for bringing back T Rex and Bowie...this period... so invigorating. Love your version
This isn't a version, it's an original song by Goldfrapp (Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory) written as a tribute to Marc Bolan. The band seen in this video with Alison are not their regular musicians.
@@rufusdashiell2706 Thank you, u r right. I was incorrect to use that term. Not version-y...Tribute. Respect. Love. I never meant to imply like copying, or such like.

It was interesting. She should have been played a lot more. She got in at the right time with Gwen Stefani and Kylie’s X album.
You keep saying she. Theres also a man who co writes if not writes music for her.

I always think this group never got as big as it should have or the credit it deserves. Alison Goldfrapp I am sure influences Madonna and not the other way around.
I think you're wrong. There's a lot of T-Rex in this, a little Cockney Rebel - there's none of that in Madonna.
@@duncangreen6914 that's okay Duncan. We can all disagree. I do hear T Rex but it is more the image and movement and style that remind me of Madonna.
@@adelaney537 Yeah, I can see that one. I was thinking purely sound.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Madonna rose on songs she didn't write so, right there...
this woman is another level, its like 60, 70, 80, 90 and 2000's are together here
haha so true. She is absolutely incredible
You could stretch it even further to the 20's
Will Macdonald Her fashion sense is reminiscent of the 20's, like that hat for instance...
It all seems very Biba (that was '1970s do the 1920s') and given the sound is quite glam rock, I reckon that was what Goldfrapp were going for, with this video.
yup
Nearly 16 years old and still sounds fantastic !

i'm 75. Never heard of her until i heard Impossible with Royksopp fairly recently. Now I never hear anything but her. Being 75 is not so bad.
Good stuff never die. there will be people who listens to this in 2100.
she looks older than that
Nice. It conjures up old memories of "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum (1969), which was a huge power-rock number on the radio when I was in my teens.
My thoughts when I first heard the Song.
It's a complete ripoff of it
@@MICAM66No, it SAMPLES it. There's a difference.

She's also got the Alvin Stardust glove and other seventies themes.

That's it! That's who I was thinkin of, thanks!
I was fortunate enough to see Goldfrapp in concert in Seattle @ 5-6 years ago.
So good. Didn’t need any chemical help to be intoxicated by her sexy voice.
She has done wonderful things for the last 20 years or so. Bumped into her in 1989, yes.. I left an impression.... Best to Seattle, got friends there. 😉
She makes me feel sexy just by taking out the garbage
She makes me feel sexy just by taking out the garbage
I freaking love this. The spirit of T.Rex/Marc Bolan approves!
Absolutely!!
I never thought of Bolan up until now till I read this comment but now can imagine T-rex on totp in the '70s performing this.............
Yes definitely qll the mark Bolans vibes!!!
I really don’t see it. Do you have a specific song in mind? This has way more synths and bass than any T. rex song. It’s kind of a mix of genre
@@mariahspapaya quite obviously, it's not pure glam rock. but it has heavy glam rock undertones. like a lot of Goodfrapp's stuff, they "borrow" quite heavily from 70s and 80s music.
This takes me back! Still sounds better than most music today. Iconic!
i never needed a Ooh La La before...but now im addicted to that stuff!
Yes means you better
I Love the glam rock band accompanying her. What a fun video.
It's not a band, it's one bloke with a shit load of electronics. Still fucking awesome, mind.
Thank you Marc Bolan, David Bowie, Roxy Music, New York Dolls and Sweet for inspiring this great song and video. And of course "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum.
Pretty darn close to the original... like, "ripped off" close. Impressive thievery, though.

You Sir - know what you're talking about. Oh yes ❤
Don’t forget “La Grange” by ZZ Top
@@matthiasravencroft "La Grange" riffs is also taken from John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillun'".

I think that it's played in Vegas at least that many times
It was right before TH-cam. But I even remember hearing her albums in cafes and restaurants in Boston. Head First stuff was wicked popular there and in NYC. I hope the next album is a dance extravaganza.
Great music,film and art should not be commercial
This album, especially this song was sampled in a bunch of commercials in I believe 2008-ish. Why do I remember? Last of my youth lol 😂❤️
The early 70’s were the absolute peak of pop music. Alison realised this, and came up with this absolute masterpiece. Genius😁😁
La grange ZZTop
I agree ! Not much can top the 70s music

i just rediscovered this song today, after years.
still loving it 💖
It's an amazing album. I still play it in 2020.
Lyrics:
Dial up my number now
Weaving it through the wire
Switch me on, turn me up
Don't want it Baudelaire
Just glitter lust
Switch me on, turn me up
I want to touch you you're just
Made for love
I need la la la la la
I need ooo la la la la
Calls up and round me
Teasing your poetry
Switch me on, turn me up
Oh child of Venus you're just
Made for love
You know I walk for days
I wanna waste some time
You wanna be so mean
You know I love to watch
I wanna love some more
I'll never be the same
A broken heel like a heart
I'll never walk again
Thank you for the lyrics! 🤘
Thank you @mw2300 👍😎
Alison is fantastic
Go get the Goldfrapp albums - they are damn great
Got her own style too - ohh la la

My original intro to Goldfrapp, I haven’t been the same since! It’s been a glorious ride
Wow. Bassline is exactly like Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky.
Nice. 👍🏻
this woman is fucking amazing
18 years ago today Supernature was released, still as funky and fresh today 👌💝
I only discovered Goldfrapp recently and had no idea this was one of their songs! Crazy because I've heard it play loads of times.
Ce mélange d'art déco et de glam : intemporel!
This song has been stuck in my head for 7 years I can't forget it
The band is ROCKING that 70s glam aesthetic, it's awesome.
Major nod to the 70's...love it.
Been looking for this for the past week, finally found it. I had that bass line in my head and the “i said ohh la la” 👌
This takes me right back to primary school in 1973, aged 11, listening on a clandestine radio on a Tuesday lunch time to Radio 1 for that week's Top 10. The heyday of Glam Rock - Sweet, Roxy Music, T Rex, Bowie, etc.
This is my first Goldfrapp song I've heard and I can't get enough.
Rocket is pretty good too
i love that they're very T.rex-esque..Marc Bolan would be pleased.rip.
+Mauricio im talking about this song and vid,not their full career
+MrJaimilly and a bit of early Roxy Music as well !
This is very Spirit in the Sky :P In the Rocket video she looks like the spitting image of Marc bolan :D
Sam sparro has that black and gold vibe too
This song fills my veins with glitter.
As a fan for over 12 years... Still holds up and I listen to the CD's in my old car and just JAM to this great sonic bliss!!!!!
I'm in love with those fringed pants.

"Spirit in the Sky" of "Norman Greenbaum"
Also a little feel of La grange from Zz top
And knock on wood
