Imagine this: It's the 80s and I'm a kid from Buenos Aires, Argentina ... there is no internet ... there are no cell phones .... and these boys appear on a tv channel !!! They are one of the most unjustly forgotten groups ... or at least they had less success ... Today I am 45 and there is always a place in the radios of my country for Bow down ... Build or Happy hour Forever love for Housemartins

The Housemartins always remind me of my last year at school. I listened to their records all the time while studying. It was the last year of innocence, before life started kicking me around for good. They're a precious happy memory, although listening to their songs now always brings tears.

It's interesting (not really but for the purposes of my comment 😬) how different generations comprehend bands/songs. I first heard The Housemartins in the summer of 96 when Beautiful South were on the go. Well not FIRST heard them but when someone put a name to them. We were on our break from school in the afternoon for a beer for the p.e. teachers. And CW we'll refer to her as, dropped them for a few of us in my mates bedroom. This sounds like a set up punchline, I SWEAR it isn't...Happy Hour was playing. I'm just saying we got about an hour for lunch. And 2 hours for the p.e. teachers 🤷🏻‍♂️

I saw The Housemartins at The Hummingbird in Birmingham in 1987 supported by The Farm. A great night out!

He was just finding his feet those days as a songwriter but even then every song had a catchy hook .

Heard this one on Guy Garvey's show this week. Hadn't heard it for ages...used to love this band.

It must be impossible to be in a bad mood when listening to this song. I play it whenever I'm feeling down, it's just so happy

Was aways a favourite. An old pal just sent me a video of him playing this old favourite of ours. A proper smile on my face now as I head up to bed. Never a bad song 🙂🙂🙂❤

Happy birthday (May 18th) Hugh Whitaker, former british drummer of "The Housemartins", since then active with "the Servants" plus several other Hull rock bands, incl. "the Penny candles", "the Juniper chute", "The Fabulous ducks" and "the Gargoyles" ! ;-)

If you were born in the 80's we are the last generation keeping songs like this alive. These new age kids know fuck all about music so we must keep reminding them what proper music is. Starting with this song....

Well to be fair, we had sh1++y music back then too. Remember Janet Jackson? Poison? Paula Abdul? Bon Jovi? Chicago? Richard Marx? Vanilla Ice? Milli Vanilli? There were just as many idiots with bad taste suckered into corporate garbage music back then. It was the smart cool kids that listened to bands like The Housemartins. Just like Paul says, "it's sheep we're up against."

Terrific band. Although they were funny and clowned a lot, they were really great musicians and awesome singers. Their back ups were on top (Build, Caravan..to name a few.. ) A Very underrated band in my opinion..

I've got a little Hull story for you YTF's, as a young boy I used to get up at 6am every Saturday to pick up Roy of the Rovers & Tiger from my local Newsagents on Greenwood Avenue in Hull. I remember watchin' one of The Housemartins early interviews before they released 'Happy Hour' was either 'Sheep' or 'Me & The Farmer' on Wackaday or The Wide Awake Club!!
