FIRST TIME REACTING TO | The Big Push "English Man"

Ironically Gorran on the Bass is the only Englishman here, Ren being Welsh and Romain being French..

The song isn't about them though, its about the Englishman Quentin Crisp?

Toast done on one side. Is exactly as it sounds. You need to do it on a grill. You simply only toast one side. You don’t turn it over. It keeps it moister. I went through a phase of doing it like that many, many years ago.

[@Hope...M]

What if you make a grilled cheese? Do you not flip it ? It taste better. IDK if it tastes better or not because I've never tried just cook it on one side. Worth trying now.

[@rickb.4168]

@@Hope...M I’m in the England. We call it cheese on toast. I make it by toasting one side Then adding the cheese to the un toasted side. The grilling the cheese. Then add a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Pronounced (wuss ter sha)

By the way, "one-sided" toast under the broiler with dots of butter, is the only toast worth eating! The bottom un-toasted side is super "soft" and you got toast that almost taste like a pastry from a dang Bakery! lol

As others have said, this is a Sting cover from about 35 years ago. The role model for Englishman is Quentin Crisp, and he appeared in Sting's music video.

🎼❤️‍🔥🎼 .. hmmm Britt .. I know that you are learning about music .. specifically Rock music .. but , the fact that you don't know that this song was originally sung by Sting.. of The Police , is so weird. Of course it is a cover , people all around the world know that Sting recorded this song. It is just weird that you have zero connection with what has been played on the radio billions of times. Very, very, very weird .. VERY.

So good! ❤❤❤ Funny thing is in one of their live nation videos during lockdown where they jammed and it was broadcast across to america, Ren said the same thing about the toast. Haha I looked it up: Before the 80s few British homes had electric toasters - toast was either made under the grill, or with a toasting fork in front of the fire. Early commercial toasters only had one element so toasted a single side. Consequently British toast was generally done only on one side. Wild!

[@quinjesuis9187]

Get naked, it has many meaning, physically, mentally and spiritually, I like the meaning, open yourself up and reveal who you truly are, those who see you and accept you, these you can call friends; and if you are yourself and love yourself for it; this is freedom, no matter what happens ❤️‍🔥 absolutely Awesome song 😊

[@fellforit]

British is someone from the British Isles, English is someone from England, which is in the British Isles. The UK is the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland. This is made up of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. The Irish from the Republic of Ireland don't refer to themselves as British because although they're part of the islands of Britain, they're a seperate country from Britain, which is Scotland, Wales and England. This profusion of names for, what is actually, a pretty small collection of islands, is what you get from 1600 years of beating the shit out of each other and getting along like a problematic family.

great reaction! You asked about the difference between British and English, Britain is the connected land mass containing the countries Scotland+Wales+England, the Big Push were based in Brighton, England.

[@rael1999]

It's a Sting cover. Sting wrote the original about Quentin Crisp. Great stuff from Ren, him and the lads are so versatile when it comes to different styles of music. Quetin Crisp was a real eccentric and moved from London to New York. You will probably not of heard of him because he died in 1999. But his old interviews on You Tube are still interesting. He was an old fashioned raconteur.

[@clutch236]

Britt, I gotta say "thank you" for turning the Video's volume up to be more balanced with the commetary. This was a nice comeback compared to a few recent reactions. Good job! (All Reactors should know how important "volume balance" is).

[@mightyakkylex]

if anything the voice was a bit too low😅

[@clutch236]

@@mightyakkylex I come by way too many KZbin reactors that may not be aware of their (voice/video) volume "balance" and if it's way off (especially when all you hear is reactors comments but hardly any of the actual video) THAT can kill the entire reaction for me (and I imagine for a few others as well).

[@mightyakkylex]

The whole toast on one side is as much of a mystery to Brits as anyone. It's a song about Quentin Crisp, a gay author famous for his book "The Naked Civil Servant". John Hurt played him in an adaption by the BBC.

[@MizCriz46]

Next up you have to hear the canon they do on "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'/Satisfaction/Everybody". In a laundromat. And "Swan Song", an original, in a beautiful church. Ren plays the melodica! And Ren's song "Power" is great. Go for a spin with Ren & Sam.

Another enjoyable reaction. I have lost track of what performances individual reactors have done so far, so I apologize if some of these songs have already been watched by you. Their covers of "I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop," "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble So Hard," "Watch Out," “War Pigs,” “Roadhouse Blues,” "My Generation," “Paint It Black,” "An Englishman in New York," “Bongo Bong,” and many others are all awesome. On “These boots are made for walking’/Satisfaction/Everybody,” “Praise You” (Fatboy Slim Cover), and “What Kind Of Woman Is This,” all three take a turn singing. Their original songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," “Dignity,” “Watch Out” and so many others are equally impressive.

Please don't become one of those. First off: these creators make your money on this and other channels, and it will make it easier for first-time listeners to find the original content and creators.
