An epic song and an amazing moment in time, so glad I was there in Manchester and rubbed shoulders with them at the Hacienda. Later in 96-98 , I met Shaun and Paul on a number of occasion when they came to visit Astrella Leitch on Palatine Road, we lived upstairs in the flat above hers. The music is timeless and still brilliant.

This great early 90's music gives me mixed feelings ... enjoying the music so much, but the nostalgia for those great old days makes me kinda sad and missing that time sooo much!! Can't even tell...😥

Still one of the best albums l have ever heard in my entire life PT&B and l am 68, God bless you Paul you wil be remembered 😞

I was blessed to have been in my teens with this era which I'm proud and grateful of. I think in was in 2001 went to see OASIS at Murray field rugby stadium. Everybody was pumped up in a good way and word was The Doves were coming on 1st...The place erupted when here were The full Happy Mondays on the stage belting out this song. Afterwards Bez was walking/dancing around with the crowd, decent guy doing that. It was such a fantastic surprise and made that concert 1 of the best I've been to.

This song still has one of the best bass hooks ever!

I love Bez and his dance moves! As a kid(5 years old 1990) I use to mimic his expressions and copy the moves. Safe to say, I horrified the grown ups hehe!

Has there ever been as much talent in one video?? The Band were pretty good too 😉

This is truly one of the most stunningly amazing songs of all time. With an iconic video to match. Well done boys.

Saw the Happy Monday at the Reading Festival in 1998. Was not a fan and went with my gf who was a huge fan. Mother of God, it was like a religious experience. The tent was absolutely packed and jumping. Best band I saw that weekend by miles, so impressive. Bez was such a huge part of the experience. People were diving under the tent to see them all the way through, until the security stopped it.

Actually a very, very, melancholic song. The Happy Mondays, like The Farm, were poets really. Kinky Afro was kind of the North Western 'The Doors' for the 90s. I get emotional thinking about the 90s. It truly WAS a superb reimagining of the 1960s in to a more urban template.
