[@michaelcupples8236]

a new discovery for myself. thanks the powers that be and of course youtube and freur letting this piece of music happen. thrillingly dark with the band in pantomime. brilliant. i wish i could share this with someone, but they are gone. this is my song to that long lost friend/love/desire. peace always ..~gcb~...

[@Radio-Sweden]

I love this world and the person who posted this video.

[@Lyndanet]

Beautiful comment

[@cryingbecausehollowknightd5748]

Little Rick with the stick is sooooo cute 😭🤗

[@ChannelZero1031]

Please tell me what instrument is that?

[@martinfitzgerald1605]

Freur starting out, wonderful. Great find😉

[@dovie2blue]

Whoever did their costumes had some kind of vision. Amazing.

[@cirosantarpia9231]

The column of my life ❤❤❤

[@cesarjom]

what a performance! Freur showed us a "new wave" in that performance.

[@Atair1609]

This is by far the best song ever!!

[@almostdigital2137]

what a strange atmosphere. i love it.

[@jnanagarbha]

This is a treasure, thanks very much for posting. I had no idea there had been a Welsh version.

[@xulete007]

so so so early Freur its emotion in motion

[@jabathaslut1]

Yes this is the original lineup. The singer left and so did the drummer. Karl on guitar took over vocals. Band formed in Cardiff, Wales thus they are singing this version in the native tongue.

[@hansschmidt3561]

Except Karl ain’t Welsh

[@amosdalmerifiorino6841]

This is the original line up and the he sings in welsh language

[@thesacha1]

absoluteley it is so underappreciated.. i think it is one of the anthems of the beggining of new wave...

[@ateliercreosote4589]

Awesome!

[@frankx9241]

Love the guy on the left that does this thing with his hands :-)

[@commanderkruge]

I just re-discovered this tune after watching "Let me in" - last time was back in the 80s on a reel-tape I recorded from the TV - cool song! :)

[@slingsby]

This was done for a Welsh TV show when they lived in Cardiff. Looks like their mate Stuart Kelling on vocals.

[@topspin4456]

Fantastic !

[@Werwulfe]

Full Disclosure: won't sound so, following, but - insanely huge Fan. I think the English version of this song is decade-defining, and perhaps even Genre-defining. That said ... I cannot help but watch this and think, 'Good God, but we are an incalculably SILLY species.' Even as a Fan, have to say I'm glad history delivered me the English video Version of what we all just witnessed, first. Forgiven, Freur, I still deeply love you. :)

[@Cureboy]

Still great to see this!! Thanks for sharing.

[@guyphawkes]

Thats the early Welsh version right? What smeggin Geniuses.

[@knightcdr21]

I've never heard this version. It is equally as pleasant as the other version. Is it me or does this version sound a bit otherworldly (listen at 2:16-2:35). It is like the early Welsh version of Sigur Ros's Hopelandic.

[@MycahM]

I want this on my tombstone

[@aglasser100]

I remember the days of recording with a tin toilet. Ah, memories....

[@maryannjordan8143]

This is amazing! Thanks

[@rodensaau3583]

Far left @ 3:52 making them subway sandwiches

[@Endangeredfrequencies]

Karl Hyde (Vocalist for Underworld) sang the on the version of this track that got all the airplay. He's on guitar on this early version.

[@kajafreur527]

They really should've released a version of the Doot-Doot album in Cymraeg (ideally with Hyde of vocals, but I get that he's English), Welsh-language new wave pop songs is something I am more than down for.

[@pedropagan7811]

Oh I love it.... best to all..

[@beatlecorp]

Excellent video. And this is early Freur before Karl Hyde took over vocals. That is Karl playing guitar.

[@Bravado2007]

...what a great "once in your lifetime" - song... ...and the outfits of the singer and the guitarist are plain hilarious... ...and who is this guy with his big wand on the the right side anyway?... ...and great dance moves on the left as well... :)

[@DShamen]

Bravado2007 Believe it or not it’s actually Rick Smith. Hilarious to look at back them now :)

[@TekEnchAmun]

Greatest cover version ever

[@FernandoGarcia-ln5ii]

TekEnchAmun Cover?

[@supermel9]

lol, its the band.

[@dudes420]

doot doot is the doots.

[@Bonosbird]

@DESNELL Not Bryn, It is Steve Irwin. And the Singer is Stuart Kelling for this version

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

@eiffe It's Welsh. Freur is originally from Cardiff, Wales.

[@kazmaitalia8796]

He singing some verses in Welsh. I wish I had learned Welsh

[@eyevocal]

According to the Wikipedia page that links to this, these lyrics are in Welsh.

[@dapegster40]

Here it is!

[@mr.roboto4260]

Einfach Kult!

[@MrGothic78]

Never heard the welsh version ;)

[@crozwayne]

Well Rick is Welsh after all

[@loboanabel3170]

ooo is music favorite

[@lasleylion13]

Dude it's doot doot read the title smart one

[@Pepyllon55]

Oh che roba lè questa! Un genere ultragalattico?

[@JamesEbow]

they love mushrooms ! I love FREUR !!! ahahahah

[@kenneymusic]

bizarre! i had no idea... and i thought i knew.

[@vacamike]

i practice philological egalitarianism. all letters are equal to me regardless of case.

[@markofsaltburn]

vacamike GREAT!

[@Bonosbird]

That be Stuart Kelling :) Karl is on his right on guitar

[@Bonosbird]

You are right about the drummer (Steve Irwin), but Stuart was never the original singer of this, it was always Karl. Stuart ended up back in the band when they toured, as guitarist. He and Chris Bell would swap over in Time

[@CarlMorris]

Here's a translation, no great revelations but she implies there was more Freur music later in the same show... "Freur have been in Studio Star 2 before, some of them with Screen Gemz. They're a group of lads furthering music of the future. One thing that's very difficult to do is saying their name, this is how it's spelled - Freur. But without saying more, here's the group and their first song for today, namely Doot Doot."

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

@m1kewithaone No, they became Underworld, not Underground.

[@Kohntarkosz]

Wow! This is so strange! I've never seen this before! What's the singer's name? I take this is before John joined the band? The Doot Doot album is a favorite of mine, an underappreciated classic of the 80's!

[@knightcdr21]

I wholly agree, they were very avant-garde. They had a wide array of sounds that would eventually become established genres and sub-genres (shoegaze, new wave, synth, etc). If that is not John on vocals, I too would like to know his name. The blurring of English and Welsh makes one think of Jonsi from Sigur Ros scant singing. Is there a way to get a audio file of this version?

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

I hope that by now, you've discovered that you can indeed download audio from YT videos.

[@mayyn94]

damnit i love this song

[@billadams484]

Is this the original line up? Absolutely love the studio version

[@Latsch82]

superbad!

[@kolvar]

does anyone have the lyrics of this version?

[@blaach]

Underworld

[@nhl041976]

it's almost like Klaus Nomi had offspring

[@nicck]

I can't imagine this making a good impression lol

[@paulmivvi7828]

Yeah I agree about the dancers but I'm sure I've seen someone like johnny boy = 3:52 serving customers in a similar fashion = charity shop somewhere - possibly "Sue Ryder"??

[@fm29celle]

@wadeut i have the song /"hey ho away we go, b-side from devidl and darkness i guess. , write to me with your email. greetings from germany. i hope to find the original video doot doot in youtube.

[@cnfuzz]

If you try to be offbeat to much its just plain bad and backfires , woot woot , luckily they upped a revamped studio version later that saved the song

[@claudiaiacovelli6960]

Did singer come from an audition for hired mourners? Is he or she? A bunch of zombies, but Karl. I know that woman, so nice😊

[@tristan01101]

So. I definitely feel as if I've swallowed 7 ounces of lysergic acid.

[@frankhovis]

He looks like somebody from Llanelli. Ach y fi.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

@m1kewithaone Nope! English! (well, Welsh - so OK, call them British)

[@harveykerr4589]

Who is the drummer in the video

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

@m1kewithaone Nope! English!

[@Manbi]

are they singing in english or in german?

[@SherbetHead66]

fab and born slippy I suspect

[@gian_accetta]

I'm still confused after years of watching this video.. That's 100% not Karl Hyde singing! Nor Rick Smith on keys! What cover band is this??

[@stefanosteed]

It's FREUR. Stuart Kelling vocals, Karl Hyde guitar, Rick Smith stick, Alfie Thomas dancing, Steve Irwin drums.

[@MrMarkg9]

Do you mean "English"? Capital "E"!!!

[@badkerproductions]

hi! welcome to my house! do you want to but something??? a. shield 100 rupees b

[@GrandeStella83]

Ma che versione allucinante è? 😕😕

[@ufozzo]

E' una delle prime versioni cantata in Gallese con una formazione insolita, infatti Karl è alla chitarra ed il cantante è Stuart Keeling. ;)

[@Broken-Frisbee]

Sounds creepy

[@mayyn94]

i like the english version a lot more

[@poesha]

That ain't like no German I ever heard.

[@ajasonsmith]

The sound quality is awful!

[@supermel9]

From an old tape, be happy its uploaled, now FO!

[@landonweb]

This is not FREUR! Only an awful copy of a great song and unique band. Please see the original video and band to understand what I mean.

[@landonweb]

This is NOT freur...only a terrible copy.
