[@paulamiles9559]

O I love this voice! And when you think that Hugh wrote this song from personal experience...

[@Shift2Movies]

I agree, and I like this version the best; kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKqbimaIacmLr8U

[@user-vu6md5ol7k]

Love that he's singing a song about heroin in front of all these family types.

[@Hyp3rbor3an]

they were all once young and ruthless..probably.

[@chrishargreaves8016]

...except that its about Marmite.

[@kenthomson9562]

Yeah. Those “family types” having been brought up in the 60’s and 70’s may have heard of drugs before.

Well, that's a first. Hugh playing live to a dead audience.

Not at all...back in the day he did Top of the Pops...No deader audience ever existed............kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4iXfamAZ9mXrM0

Probably stoned 😂😂😂

More life in a morgue. Love Hugh for getting through it.....

How should the crowd be acting then?

[@gazzah54]

AMAZING

[@lorenaa3153]

Que maravilla. Con solo una guitarra

[@stephanecanoen688]

great Hugh!!

[@MarieLappas-tj3jt]

A lot of covers are great, but the interpretation by the real musician of the stranglers is the greatest one. 🎶❤️

[@mctownie]

Not sure he will be impressed with advertising Suite 16 in the background! Lol

[@whirlwind77]

Tim Apple doesn't look too happy at 1:29 , he needs some golden brown with that frown😂

[@nacerab.1727]

J'adore cette version ♥️

[@henry6354]

Grande...🇮🇹

[@angelodiragusa4770]

Great, despite the surreal gig !

[@tinyspeaker]

Can't capture the genius of the original recording.

[@racketman2u]

The Stranglers version isn't the same without Hugh's vocals, but neither is the song the same without the Stranglers, and this isn't even close to his best performance.

[@ashleyhatton5530]

tough crowd!

[@simonambient6243]

I think they was all snobs noted did clap at the end of the song : Respect to him

[@lifer108]

nothing but ❤

[@genevincent9488]

Have the audience got into the mood of this song by all doing a bit of golden brown themselves?

[@adamwilliams5372]

Is he playing this to a heroin anonymous group? Are they alive?

[@Fortunaatp]

Nah. They’re just Dutch

[@товарищдодопривет]

thanx

[@arthurjacksparrow5733]

Painful viewing. Murdering genius Daves finest composition

[@drexlspivey5828]

Out of interest to everyone in the comments section, exactly how should the crowd be reacting to an acoustic ballad? Get up and start doing the twist? Seriously, how do you expect them to act?

[@annetta7793]

Exactly.

[@deadmanswife3625]

@@annetta7793 always people talking crap

[@CROSSofIRON-uk]

looking at the performer is always a good start

[@tinyspeaker]

It's not exactly the most lively song either...

[@Woodworker1947]

Brilliant performance but I bet many an undertaker must have seen this vide and then rushed to check their stock for shortages...

[@asteargo]

Good job Hugh, i love u too.

[@andrewp.schubert2417]

Check out the original by Dave Brubek.

[@jonasthemovie]

Stranglers wrote this song. The Brubeck video is a mashup by Laurence Mason.

Worst cover of this beautiful song ;-)

How is it a cover?

[@zaphodbeeblerock]

@@jonasthemovie He covered himself ...

[@Tysmechanics]

It doesn't have the others in it nor have any originality to it like the harpsichord gave it it's prehistorical tint to it
