Not underrated at all. The Housemartins and Beautiful South had quite a few No. 1 albums!

Been into rock music all my life. But no one can dislike this song. Stood the test of time and brings a smile to my face.

And Norman Cook??

It’s actually shocking the amount of people that don’t know that Norman Cook was a successful musician many years before he became a DJ. One of the biggest British bands of the 80’s and various other short lived bands after the Housemartins. I was more shocked when he became Fatboy Slim, can still remember him being referred to as “the housemartins bass player” for many years before the name Fatboy Slim stuck.

I came from Germany, joined Hull University Ents. Lived on Marlborough Avenue. Good times.

The last time I saw these two together was on that very stage, it was early on the Sunday morning in 1986, I was down the front, badly hungover and desperate to get home to watch the big game on tv later that evening. They were as brilliant as ever that day, so good to see them back together, albeit very briefly.

Paul and Norm have still got it!!!

Thank you so much guys. Sounding great. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did? You have achieved so much since the Housemartins but nice to see you together again. Norman switching the effortlessly from 303 to bass guitar. London 0 Glastonbury 4 (or is that 2?). 😃

Absolutely brilliant. Especially since I remember the track when it first came out

I love Norman Cook. Following him made me happy like a 1000x already and still counting. Thanks man, you are music to me.

Paul Heaton - goes under the radar but quite possibly one of the best singer/writer of my generation.

bravo- great song

This made me so happy, absolutely loved The Housemartins in the 80s and watching them at Glastonbury was pure joy ❤❤

sometimes the things that seem simple are the most difficult. This is a great song- i haven’t heard it in a while but your cover is really good- bravo!

Paul Heaton must be one of the best songwriters we've produced. And he sounds great even now too.

💜 i am the same as you Paul when I try to dance now (for more than a minute) . This song will always make me happy

Uplifting pop music, made me smile.

Beautiful, thanks Paul Heaton, thanks Norman Hook. We went back to the 80s and the best of their music for a few moments. Thank you and may The Housemartins come back sometime.

Gives me chills!

Long live the Housemartins! Wish they did one more.

That took me back to my teenage years - THE HOUSEMARTINS London 0 Hull 4 - We had a video jukebox down our local pub in East London & We had that song on repeat - Happy days in happy hours..

Great songwriter. And a lovely man.

Another superb performance by Paul

such a fun stage invite. on the flip side, would have loved to see Chumbawamba coming out to Glasto to sing their hit, Tubthumping. a truly huge singalong song. come & do one for us someday.

What a great set. Brought back some happy memories.

Love it 😍

One of the best acts of the weekend

Damn he's still got it

Old school dance they did too 👏

You can see they genuinely enjoyed that!!!

Brilliant! Some of the other performers should listen to this. No "technical" problems, just a great singer!

Acts like this should headline, not that shite you had on Sunday night

Noooo, esto es formidable, Paul y Norman juntos nuevamente aunque sea por un ratito. Saludos desde Argentina
