AYE I FEEL THIS ONE!! Simply Red - Money's Too Tight (To Mention) REACTION!!

[@matlocklane687]

It may be the 80's when Simply Red record this but money is still too tight to mention. A theme that spans generations.

[@sean4339]

there are a few simply red songs that are favorites like sunrise, fairground, this song money too tight to mention,holding back the years .

[@naysay02]

Sunrise. Damn yes. What a great, underrated song. One of the few songs that melds hooks from two different tracks into something memorable and unique.

[@Jo.885]

I love hearing your thoughts on the music that you listen to. A lot of it was made before you were born. You are very perceptive, because 99.9% of the time you are right.

[@bodybalanceU2]

"im talking about ronnie ronnie" "did the earth move for you nancy" pertaining to ronald and nancy reagan - clearly an 80s track

[@canala66]

I was in Hyde Park in September 2019 to see simply red it was magic 😍😍😍

[@spacecardinal]

I saw him in San Francisco a lot of years ago. That was a MAGIC show too! Best concert I’ve ever been to! Love his music ❤️

[@raymondpcowie101]

Saw them in Sheffield, fantastico...

[@jwhitham2743]

Celebrating 40 years of Mick and Simply Red in 2025. Legendary music.❣️

[@littlenonni75]

So this song is about during the eighties in United States reagan in his administration was called reaganomics. He caused us a great recession and at the end of the song he says I'm talking about Ronnie Ronnie and he said did the Earth move for you nancy referring to Nancy Reagan

[@MRoyClark]

The original version is by the American R&B act, The Valentine Brothers, from a couple years earlier.

[@vmaxgr]

They transformed a cheesy pseudo-funky tune to a massive R&B tune. That's how great they were

[@Alejandro-pg6ng]

It's a cover but this is those unusual cases when the cover is completly better than the original version.

[@Artfusionary]

Love this song! I grew up listening to simply red but hadn't seen the vid before so was fun to watch with you :D

[@195511SM]

That dude's still the voice too. I recently saw clips of him somewhere on KZbin.....older now & singing 'Holding Back the Years.

[@missdoglover1644]

OMG I love your appreciation for the UK music scene. Bless you! I love this song, I was 6 when it was released 🥰

[@sybilgrieco5592]

Great performance. Haven't heard that song in a long time. P.s. Love the shirt!

[@donaldyoung9002]

This man has so much soul !

[@jackward9901]

You have no soul if you don't feel this song as soon as that beat starts.

[@TheKy47]

Simply Red "You Got It" keeps me cryin

[@ronster369]

A gem from the 80's. Great choice for a listen.

[@geraintlumley6432]

This was released when Britain was in the depths of a recession. This man not only has soul but a social conscious.

[@amandacorrin]

This literally made my day. When she tightens up those headphones at the same time I did.... Felt that!

[@nicolaj3294]

One of the greatest songs from the best band. I'm due to fly from Australia to London to see them live but not sure if its postponed now😣

[@jrneff1]

Hello India,you should react to "If you don't know me by Now" by Simply Red I think you will enjoy it.

[@laticiadavis8627]

I agree please listen to if you don't know me by now

[@jackwillyan]

For Shure!!!!

[@walshaw2]

This song pretty much reflects Mick's political leanings.He named his band "Simply Red" after his hair color, his politics and his favorite soccer team, Manchester United which is the city where he is from.

[@jasonowen8193]

We don't play soccer in England we play football

[@terenasimons5247]

Just heard the original, both are awesome in different ways. But I really like how simply reds music arrangements shows off his voice, it doesn't get lost with too much stuff going on in the background.

[@alyzauch7117]

Mick had a tough up bringing his mum walked out on him and his dad,so his dad was bringing him up alone,he went to second hand shops for clothes for him,mick was so sad when he lost his dad he wrote an awesome sone about him on latest album

[@hevyonez97]

Betcha you didn't know this was actually a remake of the 1982 original by an r&b duo called the Valentine Brothers, used to always hear it as a kid....and also this version is on the same album as "Holding Back The Years", this was the single released right after that one became a #1 smash...👍🏿😎🎶🎵

[@gweno550]

Simply Red is a group their lead singer as a symbol for the group. They had their fame back in the day and they faced away like so many did from back in the 80s When Regan- omics put the rich even farther ahead of the poor. Holding back the Years is their biggest and most recognizable song

[@shawnlovejoy3945]

They actually had a vibrant career in the 80s, 90s and 2000s throughout Europe. Holding back the years being their first US #1

[@sean4339]

hi India love your reactions and videos. Love your expression when he said cut back :) were talking about money, ohhh money money money moneyyyyy . yes money helps pay for things but money will never make you completly happy in life. Money can stress out, give you high blood pressure, depression. we all struggle with money in life .

[@go234ko96ts5]

Love your feedback India on these videos plus your picks. Simply Red is a genius.Listen to the words in this song, they really have a message and the beat isn't bad either. Al Wilsons song "Show and Tell" is also a winner along with soul singer Barry White doing " Never Never Gonna Give You Up", the long version. Keep bringing those videos.

[@peteredenburg6464]

Listening to your intro: You reminded me of how much I love Tracy Chapman. Fast Car 1988. I was 18 back then.

[@creolecherokee7894]

I love this song 🎶😍 from his 💓 1st Album"Picture Book" 1985... Play "Jericho" song✨

[@fernandosampaio281]

You should try reacting to him singing live…have been to so many of his concerts

[@NerdGirlUK]

This is awesome.

[@MARTIN-bd7gm]

When this song was a big hit there was massive unemployment here in the uk in the 80s and it effected me and my friends badly for around 4-5 years we struggled to find decent work so you can imagine this song certainly struck a chord with us back then . I suggest you listen to Stars by Mick and the band its amazing . kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6uylal4orl3npI

[@matthewrandom4523]

My all tme favourite song from them!

[@marcolopezlopez1226]

Simply Red !!!! 😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍

[@michaelchilcott210]

love this version.

[@dbay7466]

Hi India, I subscribe to you an watch U lot's, we would love to see yr reactions to UK band 'Madness' and 1 of there biggest hits 'it must be love' We would be interested to see what U think. Luv from UK!

[@allant53]

You need to check out Mick on "TFI Friday" with Chris Evans as host. Video on KZbin singing ANGEL, with just a backing cassette tape in a tape player, absolutely Brilliant. Enjoy

[@robdean704]

We need you back sister, hope you're good queen

[@jonSnow-cs2dm]

[@scottrindal7859]

Enjoyed this. Ah....Simply Red from when UK music was so political and exciting. My suggestions for reactions are Midnight OIl - Beds are Burning which is also political or Yothu Yindi - Treaty about Aboriginal land rights or The Specials - Nelson Mandela which was the first political song I heard as a kid where I realised there was meaning behind the music.

[@Alejandro-pg6ng]

Or better music about commie genocide!, That is a great meaning subject!!!

[@saraipgtz]

Stars, Simply Red!!!!

[@californiahummus]

At the end he's singing "Did the Earth move for you Nancy?" about Nancy Reagan.

[@vondefeo8586]

Yeah it's a great line

[@priscillachung-hacker5923]

I just love that line! Great song, has never lost its relevance. Superb vocals.

[@vampylolita]

You've got it by Simply Red. It's beautiful

[@kirstinetermansen2213]

Some of his concert are top

[@jonathanbennetts2632]

Actually when this was made the UK was in a boom time.(1980's). His point was how society left "the average person" behind with his lyrics.

[@leilaibrahim3692]

List to it's only love something got me started you make me feel brand new simply red

[@taino20]

Please check out "Come to my Aid" by Simply Red. It is similar to "Money's too tight to mention." Thank you.

[@vondefeo8586]

Wow I love that track totally forgot about it, yeah it's brilliant

[@DaddyBaggio]

Listen to For Your Babies, Youve Got It, Your Mirror, A New Flame and It's Only Love..... Sad Old Red is a good older one..

[@robinlabouche2230]

Brilliant !!!!!!!

[@lucho-nji8398]

Ha! les remix des années 80!!

[@cancerfour69er]

I'm 51 from South London poor,Mick is from Manchester the band were poor, their all now multi millionaires yet they still play a concert s to there fans and sing to each fan X,..they knew to be poor.X

[@Sconstable]

Mick Hucknell wrote this during the depression in the UK. We had the “winter of discontent” under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Rail, coal, garbage, fire department strikes. Riots in the major cities. Kids having to do homework by candlelight due to power cuts that happened daily. The pound devalued. Wars being fought in ally with America. Even milk being taken away from children in schools. It was the worst time in the UK. Piles and piles of uncollected garbage, rats everywhere. This created a wave of music known as the Red Wedge, which Hucknell was a part of that created very political music. Other artists with political leanings were UB40 (named for the unemployment form number...the band met each other in a job center), Style Council and so many others.

[@007beck9]

Do a reaction to Simply Red You've got it

[@loreleimorphee5162]

Please you must react to Simple Red 'The right thing"

[@edinaldocosta8803]

Perfect♥️♥️♥️

[@glossypots]

The only pop song to have the foresight to criticise Reaganomics. That’s were big divide got started.

[@zigman63]

The 80s,I was a victim of Maggie's glory years where daydreaming was more common than work.

[@Alejandro-pg6ng]

Surely in the 80s the red asses was dreaming with the paradise like soviet union, romania, laos, cuba, angola and some other heavenly place..

[@paulofroes03]

HELLO ! INDIA ! I LIKE YOUR REACTION .

[@stevew585]

Good reaction, I like the channel. But, you never actually say if you like the singer or the song yourself?

[@sharonjarrett8953]

Group Journey ""Open Arms"

[@billblood5316]

SIMPLY RED IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME BY NOW. You should do it India.

[@TheCardiffgirl]

He was singing about Regenomics at the time, when Maggy Thatcher was prime minister too. You either had lots of cash, or next to nothing.

[@coreyilacqua9780]

Was that Joan Armatrading in your opening?

[@pattibrooks1907]

Money is too tight thats for sure . We need to save pitch our money

[@Nigel-Webb]

And then you make your money if you’re lucky, and then the system steals it right back on your deathbed.

[@alaskangal1973]

He was my crush for years!!!!!

[@melhall17]

simply red didn't come from money . he was from manchester at the time was a depressed area of the UK. he actually spent some years on the dole, the UK's version of welfare

[@sharonjarrett8953]

[@rouguy1972]

❤

[@regmcilwain4300]

80's and Thatcher was on the throne,high unemployment.....money was to tight to mention.

[@Alejandro-pg6ng]

80s and heavenly places like soviet union, laos, romania were full of jobs for sure..

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙

[@ScreamingWereWolf]

One of my favourite Simply Red songs of all time

[@simonwindebank4394]

I’d probably move the hand statue in the background it looks a bit dodgy 🤔🇬🇧

[@josephdolman]

😂

[@klodoob7615]

OMG it doesss ;)

[@lauriebarrett6789]

Song suggestion - "Money, money, money" by Abba.

[@pauljohnson2982]

My politics has changed but this is still a brilliant single. Great reaction too!

[@melhall17]

i'm suprised with all the simply red songs you haven't done two of his biggest hits The Right Thing or Stars

[@michaelsmith1262]

I love that album. Don't really know why he's opining on American politics though. Did he live here at the time?

[@APipeRider2]

Please react to Heaven by Simply Red!

[@BFinesilver2]

Simply Red was influenced by James Brown and supported him ontpur in '85. You can hear that influence here

[@americanmutt9089]

Make sure your bills are paid before you have fun. And then have lots of it!!!

[@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753]

But are you catching him dissing the Regans? Ronnie and Nancy.

[@carllockpick6179]

The song is from the 80s

[@skyscraper7474]

Why no one reats on COME TO MY AID?

[@Loggins1969]

Irish can be scary

[@chrislewis-n3v]

great record from a great album picture book- sadly it was all downhill from here- simply red just became (literally) hucknalls backing band and they started recording highly successful watered down white boy soul music- in other words absolute tosh

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

Is "Relatable" a music genre? Lol

Hey gorgeous. L-l-love your reactions. This is just a snippet of the song and I wish it was the whole thing. But God damn this dude sings the pants off of this song.kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3PReopsaMarb6s

[@luckyspurs]

It's impossible to like Michael Jackson and not like Simply Red. Try it.

[@siliconjim2554]

Of course moneys tight he's English.

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

God is not controlled by money.. but he understands.. We need to look to Jesus.. he helps us cause he cares..

[@stevious7278]

I'm not sure Jesus is the right one to talk to about money because ALL the churches and ministers are constantly saying that he needs more of my money. So I would guess that Jesus isn't real good at handling his own money if he always has to ask me for some. Not the best to seek financial advice from. It would be like asking a carnivore what is a good vegan recipe.

[@trelkel3805]

Nice song but that 80's production sounds like it's recorded in a public toilet.
