[@superpache1973]

Bass line : masterpiece

[@SnarkHunter64]

If you like this kind of bass playing and are not against a more metal sound, I would advise you to check out a band called "Talisman", with the late - and great - Marcel Jacob on bass... ... and maybe it's also a bit too close to that from "Rapper's Delight", don't you think so?!

I wish today's mainstream music would sound like this. This is so much better than 95% of all songs released between 2000 and 2023.

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

One of the best Punk Funk tracks EVER!!!! Bass Line genius * How I love Mr Sensible and his signature Red Beret

[@mixtapemaster1985]

Takes me back to a time when music could be fun as well as funky! What a melody! This tune's going on the mixtape!

[@barringtongilbert9230]

I used to play this as a dj when it came out. Bass line is just brilliant...why does nobody ever seem to recognise it? Great song that just sums up the time.

Three great things about this tune 1. The Captain 2. Dolly Mixture 3. Tony Mansfield's production

[@BLECHHAUS]

And A#1 is his pink furry trousers 😀

4. Bernard Edwards

[@NormAppleton]

I bet Bernard Edwards smiled when he heard this. It isn't a ripoff, it's an ode.

[@kaikito7662]

I am, and will always be, a fan of the Captain.

[@CaptainGimp]

That bass line is sick.

[@pjmuck]

Obviously inspired by Bernard Edwards/Chic's line for, "Good Times."

And rappers delight not only the bass but the melody for the first part, not saying its not cool with an English guy just not as original as what is seemed

Wonder if anyone listens to this song as regularly as I do, lol. Thank you Legion for showing me this song

[@GriefTourist]

An incredibly clever and well put together recording. I miss those long, hot, boring, exciting, strange early 1980s UK summer school holidays!

Track of my youth, excellent! When Pop music was great and fun to listen to!

[@keith-leecastle6700]

Astonishing in so many ways...I remember seeing this on TOTP.

[@davedavid2277]

Good old Captain Sensible, never a bloke to take himself too seriously. From master pieces like "Neat Neat Neat" and "Damned Damned Damned" to the pop of "Happy Talk" and "Wot" before returning to Smash It Up with The Damned all over again. Top geezer and a superb musician.

[@franksteyn]

I strongly concur..!!

[@ayawali]

The good olde days, funny and entertaining

[@MaliciousCat1968]

+Jake Roberts Nope...he was a punk/rocker a few years before this, then when the punk music in Uk were dead, he starts to joke around....

[@iainsimpson5658]

The Captain was guitarist for the Damned, back in the early days of punk. He pre-dated ska, and he developed the over-the-top personality. There's great stuff on KZbin of him playing Jet Boy Jet Girl, etc., with whatever was left of the Damned at that time.

[@lindasmith6316]

He still is. The Damned are still together and this year celebrated their 40th year anniversary.

[@iainsimpson5658]

Yes, correcting myself...he predates the two-tone ska that took hold in Britain around that time.

[@liamcronan150]

Tracks like this is why I evolved onto punk/alternative and out of metal as a teenager. It wasnt trapped in on sound and one way of thinking, it was constantly evolving. The anyone can play and there are truly no rules. Its why bands like The Clash, The Jam/Style Council, PIL, Damned, Siouxsie and The Banshees etc made such great and lasting music

[@standardofexcellence]

Exactly, I recently have discovered Robert Smith was a guitarist for the banshees

[@-dimitris]

@@standardofexcellence Twice. The first as session, but the second as official member.

[@kmkkamel9095]

C’était une époque où on s’amusait vraiment 👍😎

[@PianoDanny]

Watching this out of the blue in the jaded 2022 music biz makes me realise that watching TOTP as a 13 year old and seeing this isn’t just about nostalgia. It’s about performances where the artists could take the p**s out of themselves, have a good laugh on stage - and have CHARISMA! Love it.

[@wotdoesthisbuttondo]

Sensible hated Adam Ant because he dissed anarchists in Ant Rap the year before. Ant Rap got to number 3, this didn't even make top 20, the studio looks sparse of kids in this one as if the BBC had trouble finding enough fans to fill it out.

Captain has to be one of the best guitarists to come out of the UK, some of the stuff he plays live with The Damned over the past few years is mindblowing.

[@areafiftyoneok]

Tony Mansfield on guitar....sheer genius

Well-spotted, I hadn't noticed him. The guitar on this is very Nile Rodgers. Did Tony produce this?
