Agreed! When hits hits himself in the nuts I just lost it XD and the faces he pulls when a certain word is censored X)

After all these years, my love of this video never diminishes. The song is wonderfully funny, but with the video, it’s just on another level.

Am I the only one that thinks Hannon is a melodic genius????

I think so

This pretty much sums up what it's been like for me in lockdown.

recently and accidentally I discovered this guy!!! And I just love it

And finally, I simply don't have time for mediocrity and the untalented, but then I find genius and envy it so I can't win. Running fast and loose with this level of talent is artistically risky, but worth it for the resounding victories which could not be achieved without that. Best wishes Neil, Marc Lemon.

Neil is obviously at his best when he's in love 😍 brilliant!!!

I love the divine comedy! Unlike most bands, he just gets better and better with every album! This has got to be his most iconic music video yet!

YES!! New Divine Comedy :). Neil, you musical genius, you.

As an oboist myself, I'm happy to hear some oboe played here (1:59).

That National-Express-slide gets me every time 👏🏼

The silence at 1:25 is replaced by the word 'dickhead' in the album version, in case you're wondering what that's about. Very excited for the album. :)

I particularly love that Neil didn't feel the need to dress up for this video 😁 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I always loved National express, and yes I thought it was about buses, during lockdown I went back and listened to all my favourite music and have now become obsessed by all of divine comedy songs, they cheer you up no doubt about it x

This is the perfect song for the current lockdown.

This has grown on me.. and I do love this video!

Perfect in every way! Love the ELO-esque feel to this, and spot on lyrics as always

I was feeling total sh*t today and then I found this.....Thanks for the fits of laughter, great video. Love the song and the album.

Tasty, elegant, funny, cool, outrageous, hilarious, clever, sober, sporty, eccccccccttttttt......

Just like the strings elevate At The Indie Disco, the oboe elevates this.

Channelling a wee bit of Brian Ferry in this song. Anyway, I freaking love this song along with any other song that I've heard from the tDC catalogue.

As a French I greatly despises Napoleon for how much of tyrant he was, but this clip and his version of Napoleon somehow makes me more of a patriot ??

Love the Risky Business homage and I there appears to be a continued equestrian love theme going on with the donkey noises at the end :)

Bad mood??? Blown away!!!!!!

Pure divine comedy :D

OK - since Neil has referenced Steve McQueen and the Great Escape in earlier material, I'm guessing there is an homage at 30 seconds to Steve bouncing the baseball in the cooler. Nothing wrong with a good pop hit too!

Hilarious track and video from a brilliant, funny, uplifting album. 10 out of 10, Mr H. 👌

This song is just so accurate. Love it.

Wow! My Instagram showed me TDC today with the beautiful Burt Bacharach tribute. I love this video. Where is this house? I remember seeing The Divine Comedy open for Tori Amos at Her Majesty’s Theater in London on a Sunday night, a spellbinding evening. PHANTOM was dark that night, so being in this space and seeing these performers onstage there was ethereal and some 30 years later, unforgettable. Merci!

Not bad. Not bad at all. I'm more a fan of the big orchestral crooner numbers, but I always enjoy a nice pop number too. I certainly appreciate the ELO influence, and there's some nice similarities to the Come Home Billy Bird demo version in there as well. Great music video too. Very funny. Definetely one of your best. My only complaint with this single (and the previous one) is the lack of b-sides. I know they're a bit redundant in the era of downloads, but hopefully Neil will consider bringing them back for your next outing. He's had some great ones over the years.

Very ELO, but they had some great tracks so I'm not complaining. Apparently he had a lot of songs to whittle down into the album, so there really should be some b sides.

@AlmostAnimixers

I heard that too, but so far neither "Catherine the Great" nor this one have had any b-sides. It's kind of sad because (as I mentioned before) he's had some great ones. "Absolute Power", "Births, Deaths & Marriages" and "Maryland Electric Rainstorm" are among some of my favourites DC songs. Maybe he's saving all the spare songs for the next album, so he can get it out a bit sooner this time. Still, at least we get that bonus second disc with the deluxe edition, so that's sort of makes up for it.

I was a bit disappointed by Foreverland in the end. It opened so well with the new Napoleon Complex and the magical title track, but the rest was, as you said, crooning love songs. I really wanted the powerful, emotional Divine Comedy passion to kick in, but it never did. :(

I for one thought it was great. Certainly not Neil's best outing, but a very enjoyable one none the less. I personally think the previous two albums were the weakest, so was a bit worried about this one. I was pleasantly surprised by it though. I have to disagree about the lack of passion. As Dougal McGuire said (there's a weird way to open a sentence), "To the Rescue" was a very powerful track. As was "Other People", to a degree. And besides, there's nothing wrong with crooning love songs. That's Neil's thing. But yeah, at least we can agree that the new Napoleon Complex was fantastic. He spent at least six years on that track, so you'd hope it'd be something special.

Hacía tiempo que no escuchaba una canción tan buena acompañado de un vídeo a su altura.

I'm not not who thinks that this is neil hannons actual house? Like I can really imagine him having all that stuff.
