They obviously can’t feel it.

that white jean suit is the coolest dammned thing i have ever seen. it's 2022 and level 42 have never sounded better.

Bass line is serious bass business.

[@samanthaclarke571]

Love this song. Brilliant band. Phil gould is a brilliant drummer.

[@PianoDanny]

This song still sounds f****g excellente el presidente. And it’s 2024. Where are the young funkster/popster-grandkids ready to take jazz-funk into the mainstream. Show yourselves!

[@deanhumphries7878]

Classic track from an absolute classic Band, R.I.P Boon legend.

[@wonderb4017]

R.I.P. Boon Gould (founding member and guitar player) he was only 64 (April 30ieth 2019)

[@simonwillis6902]

Wasn't Boon's brother the groups drummer? My girlfriend and I went to their concert in 87 at Wembley it was excellent!

[@wonderb4017]

@@simonwillis6902 Absolutely, Phil Gould was Boon's brother, and he handled the drums...

i guess Im kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new movies online?

Méchante guitare basse de Mark King entre 4 secondes et 5 secondes et entre 38 secondes et 39 secondes. J'adore ce groupe Pop-Funk. Ca me rappelle de très très gros souvenirs quand j'écoutais LEVEL 42 (Something About You) de LEVEL 42 j'aime aussi Lessons In Love,Running In Family. J'écoutais la cassette audio LEVEL 42 (Something About You) dans mon Walkman avec mon baladeur a cassette en 1990 dans le train pour aller voir mon EX Julie Hurfin j'avais hate de la revoir. J'avais 14 ans a cette époque la. Mark King champion du monde de guitare basse c'est lui qu'a copié le style de basse de Larry Graham. Mes bassistes préféré sont Stanley Clarke,Marcus Miller et Bernard Edwards du groupe de funk CHIC. RIP BERNARD EDWARDS. J'avais vu sur KZbin une vidéo un duo entre Stanley Clarke et Larry Graham. C'est Stanley Clarke qu'a remporté la victoire face a Larry Graham

Memories, UK funkateers . rip Boon

[@TheGodParticle]

Enjoyed the video and totp's fusion, plus, adding audio. Saw this incredible band finally back in 91 at the Hammersmith apollo. Great gig but by then level was struggling. Grunge and brit pop put the final nail in the coffin for the 80's. Anyway, I've always lived in that decade so fuck flares unless it's the 60's or 70's

[@richclearpc]

This is the 80's - they defined the age ...

[@danielpalmersofficial]

Such a brilliant song, what a brilliant band as well!! 😙👍

Reckon those outdoor shots were the Canary Islands. They love the islands those boys. Best bass riff ever in a pop format. Classic.

[@BazzerObama]

Apparently they were gravel pits somewhere in Essex/Suffolk..........a low budget video courtesy of Polydor

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

@@BazzerObama You are partly correct. It was filmed at a gravel pit, but it was in Norwich NOT in Essex or Suffolk. Apparently, the video director used bunsen burners near the cameras to create the illusion of a humid and exotic location to make up for tbe low budget.

[@seltaeb9691]

Their best song out of so many best songs. Love the change of direction in its structure. A very clever band that are at Beatles level that was my heyday. The Goulds are missed.

[@michirican]

Me encanta esta canción 😍

[@realityboost4405]

The original, optimum classic 'mainstream' performance of a classic…It was one of the first singles I ever bought and I played it to death (much to my parent's chagrin!)…And 39 years later?…Yeah…compare this performance with the level of talent whenever you see what's considered 'normal' talent in 'pop music' today! 🙄

It's not easy playing bass that accurate to the beat of the track and the shorter, quicker notes and licks, having it halfway up your chest would certainly make it easier!
