Saint Etienne - You're In A Bad Way - Top Of The Pops - Thursday 11th February 1993

[@matthewbourne8150]

27 years ago, geez, I was chilling to this one while at University of Brighton - along with the Levellers and seeing Jamiroquai at the Sussex Festival. Geez, I am definitely getting old

[@acasacas9844]

Wow Gem of a song and she's gorgeous

[@jmc0075]

She’s a fantastic singer her voice is so tranquil. Brilliant.

[@stephenkellymusic7016]

The found her singing in a public toilet

[@bl1374]

That was what was on offer in the 90s and I’m so happy to have been a part of it. Stunning song and Singer x

[@andrewsavage2216]

One of the first 'Britpop' hits of the 90's. Fabulous.

[@alanc3602]

love this song can't believe how the years have flown

[@steverynne1970]

And the winner of the best 12" Single EVER (drum roll!)...is Saint Etienne's You're In A Bad Way, backed with the rather fab Archway People, California Snow Story, and Duke Duvet...a kindof mini-So Tough taster. VERY happy days 👍

[@jaredjackson8526]

A real 1960s feel to this. Some of the sounds in the mix remind me of Telstar by The Tornadoes. I love it.

[@revol148]

a quarter of a century ago - my life is slipping away x

[@martinquarton184]

Love the official video. Great bouncy tune.

[@SuperForest78]

You're in Zimbabwe.......great tune

[@jasongoodacre]

Sarah is just simply divine like an angel sent from Heaven.

[@davrov8610]

Always upbeat songs. Brill group. "I was born on Christmas day" is my favourite Christmas song. Ha ha...roll the tape!!!

[@honestguy7764]

I secretly put it in my mom carols playlist!

[@JohnnyPaton]

30 years ago. Jeez.

[@georgekaplan4696]

She's gorgeous ❤️

[@katerichardson8523]

Love this song

[@markhuckle1919]

I remember this, very catchy song. Great singer and the backing singer is just as good and rather nice :-)

[@AlfonxB]

1993 ... i discovered the wonderful "saint etienne" in 2015. I was in a bad way... Hope to see them live (sometime somewhere).

[@ManWalksDogs]

Have you managed it yet? They were at Glastonbury this year (2022 for future comments readers).

[@AlfonxB]

@@ManWalksDogs Hi! Thank you fir the hint/info. No, i haven’t seen them yet. I slowly restart my festival/concert mode after all that c-sh*t…

[@ManWalksDogs]

@@AlfonxB yes I can understand/appreciate that. I've been to a few but nothing like before, just yet. My partner has been into st.e since the early 90s and I've recently been obsessing over cataloguing her large collection onto Discogs and then building up my Wantlist with the large number of rare fan club exclusives & off-shoot film & compilation side projects from Bob & Pete. She hasn't seen them live but their music now rattles around my head at any given moment, so they're on 'the list' to be seen sometime somewhere too, like you. Maybe see you at a gig one fine day...

[@ManWalksDogs]

@@AlfonxB forgot to add: that glasto set is sadly no longer available via iPlayer (& a VPN), but it might've been uploaded here by a fan...

[@steveblockley9938]

Sounds similar to my situation. Liked St Etienne for a while, then my wife died and I became a little obsessed with them. You're in a bad way seemed to sum up where I was. All good now but St Etienne takes me back to lockdown and bereavement.

[@mickeybaumann]

saw one year later in cologne...great gig !

[@ianwelsh6354]

love the sound

[@themotownboy1]

I love how the drummer is not hitting the drums @ 0:25 !

[@geoffolehane]

Oh. This is cool. I love this band

[@hawaiiguykailua6928]

She's so hypnotic up there, hers hips and legs are swaying magic.

[@TheJayceegee]

Bestest band eva, Sarah's still a fox

[@ianwelsh6354]

[@AE-Rugby]

[@caiotripollare9400]

Awesome baby!!!

[@drstevie]

So good....Joe Meek vibe...

[@lavsmate]

Cool band...

[@scitsalcoryp]

Live .....it sounds so much like the studio version, it's amazing !

[@thebasementboy]

Sarah and Debsey looking so cute in this clip

[@honestguy7764]

Debsey was a beauty, and was obviously overshadow by Sarah!

[@mrbazzabee4013]

Telstar for the 90's.

[@teesman61]

Excellent observation 👍👍

[@markotango54]

I had a massive crush on Sarah 🥰 (still do )

[@jmh1365]

Sick as fuck

[@yallowrosa]

would like to kiss sarah

[@andreyabramovich1276]

She's a darling

[@haznkaz]

That’s a bit wired

[@madgemuso7314]

So many female indie and rock artists then. Sleeper, Elastica, Garbage, Pulp, Moloko, Cranberries, Broadcast, Lush, Catatonia, etc, all had guys and girls which is something you don’t see as often these days. I wonder why?

[@catgirlKL]

Love this song, but don't remember the band that well

[@dbg32]

Cracking bit of crackling, Sarah Cracknell.

[@jonathancurrington6707]

still good today

[@martaamatram]

You're in a bad way, why not try some cheese?

[@nickmclean3051]
