[@jimduffy1967]

Just a fantastic song, Paul and Jacqui and band are brilliant,this song should have been released as a single, fantastic,"that old sidewinder".❤❤👏👏👏

[@CB-xr1eg]

Phantastic!

[@CB-xr1eg]

@@paulmullins9743 Yes you're right. 👍 But Paul & Jacqui are fantastic despite that fact.

[@jimduffy1967]

​@@paulmullins9743oops I thought it was Jacqui, still a fantastic singer and band.

[@rubovia]

It was released as a single but totally ignored

[@garynorman1982]

Has a 70's feel to it but this genius Paul Heaton can transport his music brilliance to all ages what a superb songwriter

[@Isnt-it-Lovely]

Dave Hemingway's voice... OMG amazing!!!!!

[@joehurst7191]

It’s not Dave singing in this song, he only lip syncs for video purposes👍🏻

[@Isnt-it-Lovely]

@@joehurst7191 Nope!! It's them. Written by Paul and David R and sang by the Paul, Dave and allison.

[@rodlaughton2318]

Dave IS lip syncing (?) for Chip Taylor who was guest vocalist on this track and is credited on the album.

[@noelclarke326]

No dave on this one

[@monsieurcannon1676]

Chip Taylor singing , the uncle of Angelina Jolie.....fun fact !!

[@pvb2048]

STILL a fantastic song even as times change.

[@jamiefoyers2800]

[@ImpartialDawn]

[@michaelcrowley3970]

Best songs ever

[@ChrisJones-wu5cw]

What a video bles 🎹☮️

[@telhadaway3833]

Only came across this song absolutely class

[@michaelobrien9825]

PAUL HEATON BRITAIN'S MOST UNDERRATED SINGER/SONGWRITER IN RECENT YEARS, EVEN ALTHOUGH HE NEVER WROTE THIS.

[@zengalileo]

Song was written by Paul Heaton and Dave Rotheway.

[@michaelmiles2378]

How's Allison, hey !! So cool !

[@markyboy7618]

1986 NME released a floppy free vinyl single on the magazine. Five get over excited. Wow. Man. Been hooked ever since. Paul. You have inspired more people than you could ever know. Up the Blades mate. Yeah. Get in. Glory comes for those who wait. For damn sure kid. It must be Happy hour. Finally.

[@megfreeth4377]

Why have I never heard this before…..

[@uniteplanet7474]

Still watching in 2023!!! 😁😊

[@CarlBovis]

Classic Heaton... pretending this is a cover by made up band 'The Heppelbaums' and putting it on a covers album! 😂 Actually a Beautiful South original... and fantastic! 😊

[@antonisanchez4334]

Mi canción favorita. Paul Heaton, cuando por Barcelona

[@leandrocoronel9647]

Yes.. Beatiful.. I' love song..

[@jimduffy1967]

Brilliant classy song.

[@gtyellojacket]

I remember when Willie Nelson and George Jones did this song as a duet. I might still have it on 8-track. Great song!

[@hinckleyit]

In fact, it was written by Paul Heaton and Dave Rotheray of the Beautiful South. When performed live, the song was accompanied by a pastiche of a 1970s music documentary, with The Beautiful South appearing as The Heppelbaums.

[@michelleteasdale2597]

just class

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Beautiful South Great Cher look alike 👍🏻only better

[@whp61]

This has almost the same medley as Amarillo by morning. Brilliant though.

[@jaulalogpellegrini4015]

[@pedromerluzzi7658]

Simple muy buena musica

[@ChrisJones-wu5cw]

Have a bey out side the brin pub

[@mattdaley1982]

The only song on a cover album thats not a cover song

[@dhy78]

2021!!

[@zengalileo]

Does anybody know who the guest vocalist is on this song? Or is one of the Beautiful South a master at sounding like an authentic country singer? But the voice sounds very familiar, like a well-known country singer.

[@monsieurcannon1676]

Chip Taylor

[@vatman3761]

Paul looks like Kenny Burns and Dave like Dickie Davies

[@aditierneu9651]

[@Pogmeister76]

Criminal it only made number 43 or something - this is where they really started to fall out of top 40

[@fenaybeck]

HTF did you keep a straight face filming this? Ps, don't ever grow a tash, Paul lol

[@zengalileo]

Who sings the male country voiced vocal on this song. It doesnt sound like either Heaton or Hemingway.

[@michaelsmith1262]

I've always wondered that too. And why isn't Rotheray in the video.

[@rajeshviswanathan2764]

Sounds like Willie Nelson

[@henryhooper6638]

Tom petty

[@steved.9645]

Its Chip Taylor.

[@MasterQuizzer]

@@steved.9645hip Taylor is Jon Voight's brother, and Angeline Jolie's uncle.

[@gazkee1981]

who's the female singer? doesn't look like Brianna or Jacqui

[@jayrox40]

Alison Wheeler, she still sings with The South. She is amazing.

[@conzo8991]

looks like Dickie Davis

[@Niamhcotts]

Conor Armstrong lol..

[@Niamhcotts]

Conor Armstrong I'm weak lol I just googled dickie Davis and one image is identical lol

[@CDSPLAYLIST1]

How much does Paul Heaton' look like Russ Abbott? Its uncanny.

[@zastorlexa9800]

Who is the lady singing? Doesn't look like either Ms Abbot or Briana Corrigan.

[@sergeybahrushin6238]

Alison Wheeler

[@yawnguy94]

What an old woman Still got the vocals thou

[@olafspeier9897]

Great pisstake of country music, strange southern accent included.

[@annapearson4432]

I love this band but I absolutely can't stand the female singer. I don't know why she just has really bad vibes. Not many people bug me but she really spoils every song she's in. Love jacqui abbot though.
