Holy f**k this is one of the best tunes I've ever heard in my life, and I'm nearly 60. How did I miss this. Still, making up for it now, can't stop playing it.

Best first Mark on the ball and great sound. Now where to begin Keyboard girl adding much glamour. Brix No. Bad outfit and worse make up ( not that good on the guitar paying out for a Rickenbacha?) Wilson just annoys the shit out of me. He used to try taking over the local news. I think 1st he was Tony Wilson then Anthony Wilson then Anthony J Wilson and something else maybe not in that order. His head is so far up his own arse it's beyond belief. Look did he really have to walk right back in the centre after the tune ? I think not

6 days later- i cannot stop playing this song! brix smith- you can just see how much she is into the record- cannot take your eyes off her

I haven't heard this for over 30 years ! What a memory and what a groove.

I loved the fall as a 13 year old coming from the north west of England and I still love them now at 50. RIP Mark

@Schiani Ledo They just changed their name from ''Girl Band'' to ''Gilla Band'' because people said they had a ''misgendered name'', wow that's such a Mark E. Smith thing to do

To this day the Fall is my favorite punk/post punk group of all time. This clip shows how effortlessly COOL Smith is and what a shot of pure power glamour Brix gave the band. The rhythmic muscle of this track which is both insidious, slightly menacing, yet poppy, is just an example of how if the public could have been slightly more adventurous and GIVE IN to how Smith's caterwauling and dynamic sing shout actually ACCENTUATES this song and electrifies it - then the Fall would have been HUGE STARS. If anything, this video points to the necessity of taking music video and Music TV performance restoration seriously. Idiosyncratic and exceptional performers and groups (who often had fantastic videos) like the Fall, The Cramps, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Grace Jones, Lene Lovich etc. need to have their video output restored and put on formats like Blu-ray. There's no reason for such a fantastic clip like this to be relegated to shoddy KZread upload.

You may not have been appreciated by the mainstream Mark, but The Fall’s impact on my own life has been monumental. Rest in peace hip priest. Your vibrations live on

Just the best fucking band ever.

Beautiful

Loved it from 1988. We were wasted in college listening to it. Couldn’t recall band. Inside joke for 2 decades where we would say check the guys track record. Omg. Love it more now. Thank you.

Seen 'em play it live as an encore to close a concert. Still rocks! That's a good track record. Ho ho!

cheack the record, this is amazing, the song the beat, sticks in youre head. one of the best fall records ever

super pullover of Mark, looking smart..i saw them playing live with Brix in my town. Stands out as something although if you have ever seen them live, it is the whole band , with everything in place , the wall of sound etc ... that is captivating.

We could be in 3021 and this would still be a gem

Kinda the best version of this song - cool version plus the VHS distortion plus the 2006 KZread upload, all kinda makes it

Saw them on the 1988 tour, it was wonderful, a fantastic mix of edgy pop

I'd love to be discovering the Fall for the first time again.

Brix Smith looked fantastic here and made a lot of difference to the band. The Fall had some brilliant records in their time and Mark Smith vocals were not unlike Bob Dylan really. Intelligent lyrics.

Early Years 77-79. The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall, This Nation's Saving Grace, Grotesque are all essential for establishing a solid foundation in appreciating the complexity of The Fall.

Like how amazing is that?

The Fall are going to haunt my life forever more. And a good thing too.

My life would be significantly worse if Tony Wilson had never been born...
