Lyrics:
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your mom is good lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
And then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
Until that morning
There ain't nothing can harm you
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your mom is good lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry...

1:31 is actually so sweet where it cuts off as he laughs. you can feel the fun they were having making this music video. god i love terry hall

[@timturpinfleck17642]

This takes me back to the summer 40 years ago when it was released. RIP Terry taken far too soon x

[@nicolabrooke6623]

I agree very 😢

[@nicolabrooke6623]

I was born in August 1982 😊 Brilliant song listened to it a lot RIP Terry

[@davidfarmer2193]

R.I.P. Terry Hall (1959-2022).

[@lisabunnie22960]

I love what Terry is wearing.

[@RubyRose-yy3nv]

Best version ever made of this song

[@notlob23]

Gorgeous. Back to 1982. One of their best.

[@thomasbeach137]

A cruelly forgotten classic from the FB3!

[@gothdawn1966]

One of my 3 joint favourite songs of all time (even though it's a cover). RIP Terry Hall. Thank you for the music 😢💔🖤

[@sharonjohns3012]

Still got the record , and he actually smiles in the video , had huge crush on him as a teenager x

[@DistantHours101]

Terry is so adorable in this when he breaks

[@williamgrant215]

A great interpretation of a classic song

[@DebbieTDP]

Terry, goodbye. 🖤💔🙌🏻

[@ericwilliams1575]

One of the catchiest version of this timeless classic.

[@Aramanth]

Love those harmonies on the _"Summertimes"!_ Love also the mix of violin, trombone & mixed percussion. Miss the 80s so much. 💙💧

[@jonnorris7564]

Just read the very sad news of Terry Hall’s passing on to the great gig in the sky. This was the most underaged singles of his many. I remember the stupidity of the record company releasing it in September, I was working on a building site in Guildford at the time and I remember that this was probably some “Rupert” who got a job because daddy knew someone who made this bloody silly decision. The number one that never was.

[@mick62mick]

God bless you Terry.

[@coonagh1]

Such a pity to hear the sad news about Terry Hall. I always loved the horns on that track(Dick Cuthel) and Lynval Golding is the coolest dude ever, love him!!!

[@aksakloloublan]

Nice Cover R.I.P.

[@christophemeasson5190]

summer of 82 and summer time I was 12 then so not understanding the political aspect of both songs but what a great summer I had with those tunes as my sunny season background the unique voice of Terry Hall made me sing all day summertime summertime summertime ...

[@jacquelinekirwan6543]

The political bit was part of the appeal .I had just done my finals at De Montfort,Cold War History,after two years of English and American Modern History. So we covered things like Civil Rights movements,labour disputes,Nicaragua,Iran Contra,the attempted Russian invasion of Afghanistan etc. Most of my friends there were either Socialist Workers or Militant Tendency. I was considered very moderate .😅 The Two Tone movement,and later Red Wedge appealed to us all.

[@colinmainwaring9471]

What a song. RIP Terry.

[@SarahJB288]

Only found this last yr, never knew they did this and I was 10 when it came out

[@Thrillkisser]

Easily my favorite version of this song! ❤

[@rjjcms1]

There seemed to be a lot of covering old show songs in new pop versions around that time. Captain Sensible doing Happy Talk to name but one.

[@pzbooth1]

And mine

[@TJT45808]

Ridiculous opinion

[@TJT45808]

[@Thrillkisser]

@@TJT45808 Fantastic version that I'm very familiar with, but the FB3 is still my favorite. Nice try, though! 😘

[@davidcochrane2739]

It’s just great that they went back & redid a song from the American song book.

[@ajs41]

Agree 100%. Love this version.

[@davidfarmer2193]

Who's listening to this in lockdown?

[@Jojoseahorse]

Me. I love this version :)

[@javiervarelarodrigue]

I love F. B. 3 4ever

[@williamdonnelly895]

Me. Just listened to the Waiting album too 👌Farmyard Connection, Tinny of Love etc. Took me right off to the 80's❗

[@bonnacon1610]

RIP Terry.

[@helmerrodriguez9616]

Love your voice and persona !!!! TIMELESS

[@gentillygirl545]

Being from New Orleans, this is great. I had to sing the original in voice class in college. It is incredibly difficult.

[@travcollier]

They had a great ear for, and appreciation of, old tunes. And the imagination + skill to reinterpret them well. "It ain't what you do" is another example.

[@iamtenderhearted5192]

I’ve never heard this cover! Wow!

[@toyotahontas9296]

He's not happy unless he's not happy.

[@gentillygirl545]

Sounds like someone we unfortunately all know.

[@JohnHonda101]

I was 16 in the summer of 1982

[@user-zj9dv9cm9y]

Love the violin

[@user-lf8cf6dr1i]

I like Fun Boy Three - Summertime　the most among many

[@user-qp2ic1jd8q]

Oh, I'm glad to see another Japanese who loves Terry Hall's timeless style

[@crichtonhamilton7775]

Brings back memories

[@ehrichweiss]

RIP Terry!

[@hummycarton]

This was the opening hit played on Retro Charts Radio this morning. RCR is playing every UK Top 40 Hit (1952-1999) on elimination random from 8am to 11pm every day. Over 15,200 hits, one at a time. How's that for variety? No ads, no presenters, no favouritism. Give it a try, you'll probably never hear the same hit twice! It’s a music journey no-one has been on before :) #RippingUpTheRadioRuleBook

[@operamommy]

He smiled!!!!!! 1:30 or close to it. 1:30

[@nurseypie]

Fun song. Enjoyable and harmless.

[@notlob23]

Would be fab if we had a DVD with all the videos of Terry Hall from The Specials to his time with artists like Brodie and Gannon..

[@arsimahmetaj6272]
