Missing Kirsty 20 years on. Bless her soul...so talented...

[@simonshepherd34]

I was 16 in 1991 and this is the music of my generation. Check out Circle Square, On The Ropes, Sleep Alone, Play and Mission Drive for those songs that have stood the test of time.

[@francesbrazier2777]

Me too was 16

[@glynhowarth456]

Kirsty Mcoll was just delightful, absolute tragic loss to the world. xx

[@petecrigler8804]

Can we talk about how beautiful Kirsty is? I mean really!

[@kurtcobainpizza5606]

God i miss her

[@barryhardiman1135]

Absolutely.

[@faunaflage]

RIP Bass Thing. RIP Kirsty MacColl. Thanks for this.

[@luxford60]

Although the Bass Thing had left the band by the time they did this one.

[@speedwell0560]

Imagine if he was still with us though 👹👹

[@justmadeit2]

A forgotten tune from the 90s, a song you'll forget about for 20 years then somehow you'll find it again

[@lzr9272]

Fact

[@kennethrys4128]

Just popped into my head today for reasons unknown, so had to come listen again.

[@PlasticGirl65]

True that, bought the single when it came out then forgot about it after a while then it just came in my head for no reason at all.

[@PlasticGirl65]

​@@kennethrys4128Me too, funny how that happens 😂

[@notandnowavailableonyoutub2855]

One of the classiest duets of the '90's, in fact, ever!

[@tassostantsis2826]

I almost cried seeing Kirsty. RIP

[@williamsonntdhsiutqp4414]

I didn't know Steve Coogan was in a band when he was younger I almost cried seeing Kirsty. RIP Just the best!!!

[@Hellwyck]

Stop copying other people!

[@TheMichaelseymour]

lol...she was brill ....criminal ...really

[@KrillLiberator]

@@Hellwyck Don't worry - he'd just had a penectomy when he wrote (Ctrl-c ctrl-v) this, so... y'know.

[@eifionphillips3004]

Great band and good tunes!

[@edwardhoward-williams1692]

Fuck, why is music so utterly shite now?

[@lornamcaughtrie3931]

Ah Kirsty MacColl, what a voice. Sadly missed.....

[@dewey70]

The amount of fun they're having in this vid is infectious.

[@thetwitterlectual9528]

Early 90’s student house party crossed with Victorian debauchery.

[@ajs41]

True. In the early 1990s everyone was having fun, or trying to.

[@Robert_Manners]

@@ajs41 That's because so many of the economic policies at the time were making so many peoples lives much more difficult, so the best way to fight back is to just have as good a bloody good time as you can.

[@oscaruresti7058]

Finally! I almost cried seeing Kirsty. RIP I love this song and the video.

[@cherrylSkerrittcs]

I must have been in a coma when this came out! Now on my Spotify. What a beautiful video with its lilting Irish sound and was lovely to see Kirsty on this.

[@matthewj.rangel2263]

Love love love this so much!!❤❤❤ I didn't know Steve Coogan was in a band when he was younger The amount of fun they're having in this vid is infectious.

[@froggary]

I really wish I had been alive to see these (I was born in the wrong decade XD)

[@mr.review5522]

It's fine you still can cause they still play live.

[@QuadMochaMatti]

How many of these comments are from legitimately real human beings and how many are being generated by AI Bots? So many have the exact same phrasing. 🤔

[@KentDonaldson]

Never get tired of this classic, one of my faves.

[@theresakrakauskas8408]

I became familiar with this band from the soundtrack of "Dating the Enemy" and love them. I'd never seen them before though, and now I love them even more.

[@bazzadavison7965]

Kirsty Macoll - a beautiful soul taken way too soon. RIP

[@SolarGranulation]

One of my favourite music videos of all time. Also reminds me of another, half remembered video for a forgotten song. Very bright colours, a duel with things that weren't swords, possibly a woman in a bathtub?

[@xjboy550]

Many thanks been looking for this vid for years

[@markallgood7980]

Miss these guys! Plus the late great Kirsty!

[@michaelbates3278]

Probably one of the greatest/underrated songs and video of all time🤦🤣

[@sannimcable]

Isn’t she lovely

[@willelliott3016]

This song takes me to another world, of all the songs I've saved on spotify, this is the one i remember to listen to, I'd love to be in such a lovely music video!

[@sannimcable]

Lauughs when he cries

[@annamw8182]

Love love love this so much!!❤❤❤

[@robertreape]

This is a great tune made all the better with kirsty mccoll, s vocal.

[@bath_neon_classical]

did Vic have anything do do with the making of this music video?

[@damonschick]

The frontman reminds me of an early Paul Whitehouse character. 😂 Going to have this song in my head all day now 😊

[@mirandafriday4023]

So we were on our way to races, to the not so cheap but very expensive seats and this gem popped in my head. I found the tune on YT shared it on the car radio, then dropped the window down and turned up the volume on the way to the stands with our posh togs on. 🎩👒

[@mattcoope76]

Timeless

[@antonioeisadora]

Finally!

[@ashleywalker1411]

What? Cheap America thinks its the fifth race?

[@deadbydayinblack]

Justice for Kirsty. Just saying

[@marcydesade]

Loved these guys way back when and followed them around many gigs. Shame Miles became his own rhyming slang.

[@GailWilson-o3z]

I'd say he's less of one now than he was back then!

[@markschatzberg9991]

Kirsty Maccoll R.I.P.

[@philiphalpenny3783]

20 years already...

[@HometownUnicorn]

This video is where Oasis got their inspiration for the set design for their be here now tour...

[@rubypepper2700]

I love this song and the video.

Kirsty and Miles great Stuff

[@kevinmccarthy1543]

beautiful!

[@dcalvitti]

I didn't know Steve Coogan was in a band when he was younger

[@tcaudiobooks737]

His brother Martin Coogan was the lead singer of The Mock Turtles.

[@cmk6672]

Looks like coogan doing an impression of russel brand

[@thetwitterlectual9528]

Which one is he?

[@matthewevans6171]

He's never used a lawnmower in his life!

[@boofuls]

Naturally a Victoria fop wouldn’t use such a thing

[@andylambrini5460]

Great video Miles playing Willy Wonka and Kirsty elegant as always x

[@glyn6170]

For some reason the lyrics "welcome to the cheap seats" just came into my mind. That's why I'm here 32 years later, why?

[@meshuggah2]

Just the best!!!

[@jaimmerogers4383]

Flying a flag they never knew need flying?

Saw you guys open for Siouxsie in LA. 89? Peepshow tour. Still a great song.

Singer is a right knob. Embarrassing.

[@jcdenton4911]

He does seem like a bit of a bell end.

[@Cristiano48239]

@@jcdenton4911 Neither of you know him I don't think. One of the nicest people ever. I was present at Size of A Cow, vid, attended Martin Gilks funeral and wake. He's just having fun in this, all being silly. Milo's pretty humble, normal and kind human bean, old bean. Still friends with him right up to this day. The world needs to be nice to each other. Have a good and safe day both of you's x

Wonderful! :-D
