The Farmers Boys - Phew Wow

[@autumnsea7848]

Another underrated hit and band from the 80s. Fantastic song!

[@outtathyme5679]

One of catchiest tunes of all times

[@joebovill9419]

This song changed my life! For the better X 1000%

[@MrEMrC]

I was number 8 in their fan club! Still fab even after all these years and I don't care what my children say about them!

[@janetwestwood9194]

I think I need a soft drink, after finding this...!!!🤔👍🇬🇧

[@buxvan]

God, I love this song & still play the single when I have a party !!! I must "hoist a few "

[@LorraineWard22]

David Cooper That's just great David - Cheers X

[@Linthepoker]

Love this..... Makes me wish I could go back to the 80's

[@Paxo469]

I occassionaly listen to this song on youtube,a great song with such a feel-good factor.They would do well do release it ! Its a classic! Im sure it would out-do the dross we have at the moment !!

[@englisho]

Saw this band in the 80's at 'the porterhouse' Retford. God knows why but the bands name just stuck in my head and 20 years later I type it into youtube!

[@JACM10]

About 20 years since I've heard this. Still good.

[@66daisydog]

I loved this at the time and I still love it. A brilliant 80's pop song. X

[@Batters2000]

I have been looking for this tune for ages and ages. It so takes me to a happier time!

[@ianparker1768]

I saw the 12" in Huddersfield market only a couple of months ago :-0

[@Paxo469]

Ive not heard this for a long time,great song!!

[@karlblanch3898]

Love, love love this 80s classic . Why was this never a hit ? I bought this single and still play today because I can . Wonder what these guys are up too these days? Thanks for your contribution too the music industry or should that be Moosic..industry 😂😂😂

[@LorraineWard22]

I loved this ab-fab uplifting number back then & I love it just as much now! Fantastico!

[@miketunky2277]

I love this and still have Stan’s mini which I have kept in the garage since 1985.

[@keithharvey6354]

Why don't you hang it up with the other skirts?

[@davidhutchison1711]

Well it went to a well deserved home......lucky you phew wow

[@user-John666]

Bit of a weird one this…. At the time I was mainly into US Hardcore and what went onto become thrash metal. But I heard this on the radio one night, loved it and subsequently looked out for it and taped it. I loved but have not heard it since about 1984! Reminds me of sitting in my bedroom with my then girlfriend and usually ending up arguing due to being completely skint. A great trip down memory lane, thanks 👍🏻👍🏻 Edit: still love it, which will soon be 40 years ago! Incredible

[@thefloorkiller]

I have this single and on the cover is a competition to win Stan,s Mini I wonder who won it and does it still exist. A great tune feelgood and happy

[@catiusers5627]

I love it.

[@Ben4810]

so why, when i'm sat in Dubai (a very long way from Norwich) after 26 years of never thinking about this song, did i find myself singing it this morning & having to search for it on KZbin....?!? It is still very, very good, thanks for the posting.

[@garethedwards1187]

Similar with me. Found myself singing 'You say you've lost your girl. It's not the end of the world' then getting to the chorus having not thought of the song for literally decades. I'd forgotten the name of the band (their only hit as far as I know). I don't want to listen to any more of their songs since I know they will only be less good versions of 'Phew Wow' and spoil my sense of how perfect an indie-pop song this is.

[@CraigMcTaggart]

Gareth try 'I Built the World ' you wont regret it , wonderful song

[@marcuslavaggi-bowen6539]

One of the band did a podcast two years ago and mentioned this video. He said that they went into a studio and another EMI artist went in before them to shoot their video. They had to wait for quite a while for their turn, so just spent their waiting time drinking, which he then said can be seen in the video!😂😂😂

[@TheJoynesy]

Haha yeah I heard the same interview - think it was the C86 show. Wonder who the other band was? Anyway great song! Wish they'd rerelease the second album though.

[@marcuslavaggi-bowen6539]

@@TheJoynesy Yep, I keep wondering sometimes!🤣🤣🤣. It was indeed the C86 podcast 👍👍👍

[@ffunkddup1]

Bloody fantastic! and rather good advice I'll warrant. If you are reading this, drop everything AND go straight down the pub with a cheesy grin on your mug. Sod the Mrs and the kids for once. HUZZAH!

[@stinkytrouble]

luv it

[@popabawa]

The fArmER's bOys were the soundtrack of my youth. Thanks for the memories, I hope you got the success you sorely deserved :)

[@Bicentina]

ahhhh! i love it! :D

[@richardhogg3470]

Where are they now!!!! Come on this is the real 80s not those who appeared to succeed!

[@roryglives]

Last time I saw Baz was years ago back in Bungay doing a one off performance at Kings Head for my mates sisters birthday. I think he still lives locally. I went to School with him and Frog from 70 to 77 starting off at Bungay Grammar School.

[@andyr226]

Camper than.......Fantastic.

[@karenvickerson]

Yeyyyy

[@babybear282]

did 'in the country' not make it into the top 40? remember seeing it one evening on look east..many moons ago

[@rjjcms1]

Nearly but not quite! Cliff's version dId of course.

[@marcuslavaggi-bowen6539]

It got to No.44. TOTP that week decided to dive below the top 40 and went for the No.43 record..... “Big in Japan” by Alphaville. If only Farmers Boys were one place higher that week!!. Still, at least EMI signed them allowing us in turn to enjoy the music they got to release.

[@neilmorrell]

I wonder if they would consider a reunion

[@Johnoco66]

Ditto - same scenario here mate. :-]

[@dyvydyeo]

I preferred them when they had the ironing board

[@carrieoff]

dyvydyeo I only watched this for the ironing board

[@jimdonaldson9914]

I saw the ironing board live at Leicester Poly. I don't think the board's solo career was that succesfull

[@robbos44]

is the competition still open for the chance to ...win stans mini...ive not got a car at the moment and by chance ive still got the quiz form that came with the single..im not sure ive got the right answers to the questions though...i saw you in sheffield about 82-83 at the leadmill..loved it..anyway chers for some quality feel good tunes..

[@marcuslavaggi-bowen6539]

I bought one from eBay and it was like in fantastic condition, no tears on the sleeve!. The competition card was also left inside it!😂

[@chrismoff17]

Anybody got the brilliant I Built The World? - Jangletastic!

[@vanillaorchid]

Webmistress, what about 'Muck It Out'. My favourite.

[@simonking3966]

Remember them doing this on Crackerjack

[@keithharvey6354]

Did the police arrest this lot after the video?

[@karenvickerson]

People back in the day if you were a proper music person...........

[@neilmorrell]

what is the address please - and what is in the pipeline - or is that just a tease

[@martinjohnston6685]

too silly for shoegazers and not silly enough for toy dolls fans , personally i think they are great

[@carrieoff]

That ain't are bad boi.......
