The Divine Comedy - At The Indie Disco

[@bigguscurlyus]

The first time I heard this I was almost in tears; It brought back every happy memory of growing up, and going out with friends in Newcastle!

[@keithtimmins8103]

Love this band. Songs usually take a few listens to like but once with the comedy is enough. So very underated.

[@Luke-Harno3]

"Next to the poster of Morrissey with a bunch of flowers" Class... ;)

[@dirkbogarde44]

The lyrics are just so spot on of a typical indie fan. Always make me smile.

[@elbedregal]

How come Neil Hannon is not a World Celebrity Now? Everyone should share. This is exactly how pop rock should be written and done. So much for the waste out there, this is how you write and sing a pop song. You make people happy with a story.

[@khaniboy]

“She makes my heart beat the same way as at the start of Blue Monday.” Nice!

[@IamRobotMonkey]

When played live, they sometimes do a cover of the intro of Blue Monday at this point. Do a search on here, there's a few live versions knocking about. Well worth the digging.

[@DJThor1964]

What a lovely song! The ascending chord run, spare beat, strings, Neil has, once again, come up with the perfect pop song.

[@Flashstar5]

Nobody quite like DC. Hannon's originality always welcome breath of fresh air-love the stuff he writes.

[@scottheatherley]

A beautiful song that us old 'uns can relate to.

[@MrMode72]

One of the most underated bands of all time, everyone in their thirties can relate to this song. Pure Class !

[@danieltuomey4859]

Ha 14 years ago when you left this comment I could relate to the song because I was actually going to the indie disco every Thursday night. Now I'm 34 and I relate to the intense bittersweet nostalgia. Hope life is treating you well.

[@colleenhowe5035]

Such an underrated and brilliant track. Love it 😊

[@evavigo]

Love it!!!!!! Great song, great video, just love it!!!! Neil deserves to be considered by everyone one of the best musicians in history, seriously!!

[@RosscapitalA]

Gramophone turntables - love it. Great writer.

[@jezzasmezza]

The boy never fails to deliver!

[@divinecomedyhq]

Yes! Indeed it is :-) Cathy is also featured on a couple of other tracks on "Bang Goes The Knighthood" DCHQ x

[@virechevarria1804]

Listening to you makes me feel happy.

[@RonanDonovan007]

such a great song

[@dean-marr]

What a tune. Neil the great

[@ArcticSounds]

This is so good! You're such a fantastic writer!

[@YorbaTheYounger]

I only just heard of them. I live in Seattle. They're great! You're right!

[@musicloverUK]

@@YorbaTheYounger he's been going since the early nineties? ... just rediscovered him as I lost track in late nineties! Amazing treasure trove of albums. Touring again in 2019.😎

[@edenny81]

@@musicloverUK going to see him in Belfast in October. 3rd time seeing them live 👍🎶

[@toperic02]

And this is just one of dozens.....most of which are better than this. @@YorbaTheYounger

[@flightyzeus2]

inserted blue Monday into this tune also! divine 👍

[@soulboy1965]

Speaking of Divine ;) That riff, which New Order heard whilst trawling the gay clubs in The States. Bobby O was/is a legend of the Hi-NRG sound. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpXTn4eHlKere8U

[@garathon66]

Every time I hear this I'm powerfully reminded of Thursday night's out for 'alternative nights'

[@dandruf1]

The world needs more indie discos!!!!!!!!!

[@aoife2k]

The Divine Comedy just keep comin with these little gems... have just pre-orderd the album.. can't WAIT to hear it :-) :-) :-)

[@TheOrchids]

great song

[@koookeee]

Thank you for this wonderful song.

[@gileshalliwell3591]

3.20 of pure perfection… No wonder the producers of Wonka sought out Neil for new original songs for that wonderful film!

[@MrCarelo]

one of the best song ever made

[@lkdub]

@dandruf1 yea, doyles on the corner of d'olier street,near college green.big purple building.its not tecnically a DISCO....its a student pub, but they've a tiny dancefloor and dj upstairs in the lounge. the place is small and shabby but thats exactly why i love it. i've had some great great nights in there for years now. the academy on abbey street is an indie club, the workmans club, the button factory....there's loads of indie places in town

[@flightyzeus2]

just seen these at a gig absolutely divine 👍

[@shuuuuuuun9254]

I love this song:) From Japan.

[@FROGGYDOHERTY]

love it...real summer vibe.....

[@russ7510]

Briiliant song,typical brilliant stuff from Neil

[@Meimi132]

Awesome new song. Can't wait for more :) Wish they were coming to the East of England tho... its always London dangit...

[@milomoon]

Reminds me of Zhivagos in 1984. Thursday was U18 nite. Happy days...

[@RPElektrone]

Respect for including a Sheep On Drugs vinyl cover in the video clip

[@marie-ye9em]

The violins remind me of "this must be the place" by the talking heads!

[@therewerre]

Oh this song reminds me of everything that is good in life. If I could pick a song to live in, this would be the one. Love.

[@alexjocelyn.4254]

Wonderful song 🎶💓Hey! There is 'Casanova' 😏💘🎼

[@sandmansam1965]

Divine little song

[@ailshamusic]

Cathy Davey's harmony vocals are awesome.

[@philrocks08]

so 90s and i love it

[@jacobvitrillon8476]

I love Divine !

[@ZeroMalarki]

Saw this performed live in the MAC Belfast as I was serving behind the bar. Unreal.

[@cloveypie]

My new happy-beat! :) finding out Cathy Davey does the harmony just makes it better!

[@storageheater]

@madamewoselle I think it's set up like it would be a fairly sharp comic song, but it really just turns out to be 'Weren't the early 90s lovely?' The DJ bit made me laugh though, I knew guys who would have done that without any sense of irony. I was probably one of them.

[@Goombas_musical_experiences]

Good tune this with great vid. I was looking at the records and expected one by the Divine Comedy...

[@fabsisters1]

loved every moment of it

[@UGotzAidz]

love it

[@Philoppineau]

Great songwriter, I love it !

[@deanwhitbread]

great song, great albu. purchased!

[@ardkeenan]

these guys have got "je ne sais quoi" or "níl fhois agam cad"!!!! love neil hannons...he is a character!

[@xinezito]

@Tiiluu then you have to listen other cd`s of divine comedy! neil is awesome!!

[@vulcanfuneral]

This is pretty much a perfect description of my favourite "indie disco" night I used to go to every week when I was in college. The songs and everything.

[@dandruf1]

@19sparkie91 I know (only) two places in France : Shannon pub in Toulon (South-East) and "Le Motel" in Paris. But there are still a few indie disco in the world, aren't there? (Debaser in Stockholm, Garage at Glasgow, Garage in London...)

[@koookeee]

Why is Indie Disco always on thursday nights?

[@sksk-ir5fo]

[@83willford]

@divinecomedyhq @seanuiui Cathy Davey is a great singer, and worth checking out in her own right if you like The Divine Comedy. I'm *so* excited about the new album!

[@christinelombardi8935]

[@birdonawi]

@CaptainSuperSinister what would it be to be made of strawberry mousse in a "bad way"? :)

[@8tem]

bellísima por siempre! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@stereofidelic67]

Back in the 90s when almost every club had a queue of chavs a block long, lining up for their house, garage and trance, it was almost impossible to find somewhere that played 100% indie, Britpop, even though it dominated the charts and live music venues.

[@albamboo73]

I agree, lyrically Neil Hanlon's genius!

[@SixEightySeven]

@19sparkie91 Try Whelans in Dublin on Friday nights, very close to this!

[@Humanshieldchorus00]

This reminds me of the Limelight in Belfast

[@eldee7960]

Yessss! Was thinking the same! Reminds me of Cuckoo's too :)

[@Humanshieldchorus00]

Ha! the bouncer there works with me in the Housing Exective

[@strangeloved]

Great song. i loved the morrissey homage

[@seanioio]

does anyone know who it is singing backing vocals? Sounds like it could be Lauren Laverne but i'm not 100%

[@erithecure2123]

We go down to the indie disco every Thursday night Dance to our favourite indie hits until the morning light At the indie disco The indie disco At the indie disco, yeah We've got a table in the corner that is always ours Under the poster of Morrissey with a bunch of flowers We drink and talk 'bout stupid stuff Then hit the floor for Tainted Love You know I just can't get enough Of the indie disco The indie disco At the indie disco, yeah Give us some Pixies and some Roses and some Valentines Give us some Blur and some Cure and some Wannadies And now we're moving to the beat And staring at each other's feet I wonder if she fancies me, yeah At the indie disco The indie disco At the indie disco, yeah And when it's over and I'm freezing on the night-bus home I think of her and I sing the words to my favourite song, oh yeah She makes my heart beat the same way As at the start of Blue Monday Always the last song that they play At the indie disco The indie disco At the indie disco Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, aha At the indie disco The indie disco At the indie disco, yeah
