They're actually singing "I don't like cricket, I love it". Jamaica, As part of the British Commonwealth, took on cricket as sort of their national sport.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "The Things We Do For Love" for your 3rd 10CC song !!!

Cricket is a National Sport of many British Commonwealth countries and former Crown colonies. 10cc is so underrated, and I'm glad you hit this one.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

West Indies were a top cricket side for a while.

[@johnchrysostomon6284]

Except by their reactions they completely missed what was happening in the beginning of the song

[@CandleLight1974]

Fun Fact: The parts of this song that Eric Stewart wrote were based on a holiday he went on with Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues when they were propositioned by pool girls and Justin was mugged for a watch (not "silver chain" as in the lyrics) that his mother had given him and was threatened with having his hand cut off if he didn't hand it over.

10cc were a favorite of my Dad’s. Life is a Minestrone is a must listen! Don’t sleep on that one.

[@barblessable]

Song is based on events that happened when graham gouldman was on holiday in Jamaica .

[@nigelparsons2104]

The ‘I don’t like cricket,I love it’ line is a reference to the sport of cricket which is very popular in The Caribbean the home of reggae.

[@davidsweeney4021]

Cricket - the sport that so many Common Wealth countries love together. The West Indies were a dominant force in the 70s with quality batters and a lot of very fast bowlers. Love the storyline in the song

[@minxiv7]

Cricket is a sport played in a number of countries. It’s huge here in the UK, where this band is from ❤

[@tediousmaximus1067]

In my opinion the best 10cc songs to react to would be "Rubber Bullets", "Life is a Minestrone", "Art for Art's sake", "I'm Mandy fly me" and "The Things we do for Love".

Absolutely for all of these!!! Another one of my favourites is "Oomachasaooma (Feel The Love)"

The two main guys of 10 CC were Godley and Cream. They went on their own. Play their song "Cry"...but use the official video. Very cool!!!!

[@andrewfitzgerald4446]

Sorry to correct you but all 4 original members were the main guys in 10cc, Godley and Creme, Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. Every song up until G & C left was a collaboration between the 4 whether written or produced and they had 3 number 1 singles in the UK with 3 different vocalists

[@tonynorriss379]

Cricket is a sport you may not know much about in the US. But it was very popular in the Caribbean at the time of this video, They were world leaders in that sport back then.

[@Gulfmist_63]

It's India now

[@brianappleby5112]

So an interesting fact about this song is that Justin Hayward, the guitar vocalist of the Moody Blues had an experience like this in the West Indies when he was alone and some guys threatened him because they wanted his chain. He told 10 CC the story , not sure who he told but it inspired this great song.

[@bruceblackburn9423]

Justin Hayward

[@roboi2241]

10cc had the sophistication, creativity and deepness of Pink Floyd but directed it towards the 3/4 minute pop song so as a boy growing up in the 1970s there was something about their records which never followed a formula, genre or conformed to your expectations that touched something in the listener that was unique, almost mystical which was almost like prog rock for kids my age at the time though they appealed to adults as well.

[@taniaPBear]

Every song of theirs is a completely different vibe, try 'Rubber Bullets', so much fun and you'd never know it was the same band. ❤

[@gunternetzer9621]

Remember it when it came out. Belting band.

[@kaysussex4991]

They knew what they were doing and weren’t afraid to experiment: ‘I’m not in Love’ still sounds fresh

[@moodyb2]

Probably my favourite by the band. 👍

[@BobSoltis1]

Co-writer of this song Graham Gouldman wrote some huge hits before co-founding 10CC. He wrote the hits "For Your Love", and "Heart Full of Soul" for the Yardbirds. The Hollies had a huge hit with his "Bus Stop" and "Look Through Any Window" climbed to #4. Herman's Hermits had a hit with "No Milk Today". I could go on and on with his writing credits but I think people will get the picture.

[@clannad99germany70]

Fun fact, Graham wrote this song according to a vacation of Eric Stewart together with Moody Blues guitarist Justin Hayward in Barbados a year ago, where they got such an adventure, experience then.

[@StevenQ74]

He wrote big hits when he was just 18 or 19 years old, very impressive and Graham also was in the band "Wax" together with Andrew Gold of course who also had a big hit with "Right between the eyes" kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHq1e4yKicp0jc0

[@clannad99germany70]

I know, I know of course.

[@andrewgrant6516]

Bus Stop is a great song. I still sing that one in the shower.

[@miltonyannis3719]

If he also wrote 'Bus Stop' and 'No Milk Today', then Gouldman's a genius on those two alone.

[@raymondreid4987]

10CC is a gem band. You never knew what they would do, but they do it great.

Cricket is one of the most popular sports in Jamaica. I've never heard this song before, but it was so adorable! Loved it! 😊🥰

[@MGrayl-ib5fo]

Guys, if you want to see what 10cc bassist Graham Gouldman got up to in the 80s, check out his band "Wax" & the song "Bridge to your heart" - it's a banger!!!

[@hedgewitchherbarium]

I love when you react to stuff we suggest and 10cc is right up there for the 70's and 80's - especially "Art for Art's Sake". ❣

THIS was the 70s though .

[@gordonpatterson8615]

Love 10cc, I’m Mandy Fly Me is another banger of theirs ❤

[@Escapee5931]

I agree - a fantastically mysterious song! Inspired by a Pan-Am airline billboard (I think).

[@hackdaniels7253]

I only just realised that the voice at the beginning '...you'll never get me up in one of these again...' is sampled from another one of their songs, Clockwork Creep, which is sung from the point of view of a bomb in an aeroplane hold.

[@carollittle1059]

Great band from Manchester. Huge in the 70's and 80's. Must be in their early/mid 70's now. Multiple hits, all worth checking out.

[@theodoreritola7641]

YTHIS WAS THE 70S THOUGH

[@grapeman63]

From the 1950s styled do-wap of "Donna", the hysterical asides of "Rubber Bullets" to the ethereal brilliance of "I'm Mandy, Fly Me" 10cc had some great songs. They were often quirky "Life Is A Minestrone", "Wall Street Hussle", edgy "Art For Art's Sake" and down-right funny "Good Morning Judge" but always well-constructed. No more than you'd expect from two highly talented song-writing duos, Gouldman and Stewart and Godley and Creme. They left an indelible mark on the music industry. Not only for what they did in the band but for what they did both before and after it. BTW Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world.

[@keithjones7390]

Blackmail is my favourite.

[@bigstu31s]

Jay, you've mentioned a number of times that you enjoy some bass guitar. I'm surprised you haven't checked out Level 42 yet as the lead singer and bass guitarist, Mark King, is one of the finest base players ever. I'd recommend you start with one of their earlier tracks like Love Games, which has super heavy bass in it before moving on to some of their later stuff like Something About You, Leaving Me Now, Lessons in Love, it's Over and Children Say.

[@thefacultyoffunk]

Level 42, great idea! Mark King is a brilliant bassist.

[@AndyB59]

Absolutely. Can't believe we haven't heard more from them

[@kimcutts6153]

"Art For Arts Sake" 1976... "I'm Mandy, Fly Me" 1976..."Good Morning Judge" 1977... "The Things We Do For Love"... Take your pick, and enjoy the talents of 10CC... 🇬🇧🎵🎼❤

[@greglegakis4177]

@@BobSoltis1 I'm pretty sure I qualified my comment to say those listed were not hits in the US. I'm not saying their UK hits aren't any good. I'm just saying that since the vast majority of their subscribers are from America they shouldn't expect to recognize their UK hits. Afterall, The Beatles didn't leave Liverpool and come across the pond for vacation. They came here to make money and become famous worldwide. If your song(s) aren't a hit in America they're much less likely to be known worldwide. Now leave me alone so I can go check out 10cc's UK hits. Cheers!

[@greglegakis4177]

​@@BobSoltis1I listened to a few of their so-called hits out of the UK and Europe. Meh! I can see why they weren't hits in the US. Rubber Bullets was decent(sounded a little like Slade) but got weird in the middle. Donna was garbage, Mandy and Dean were weak and Judge started out with a good beat but went down hill from there. That's a 30 year career DJ's POV. FWIW.

[@tcarnold6425]

Ohhhh welcome back 10CC! This was by far their most famous but now you need Rubber Bullets or Good Morning Judge in your life if you like their fun side! Enjoy!

[@shemanic1]

Walking into my home town I suddenly heard a tune I knew the opening to so well. A guy in a disabled buggy came nearer with "Art for Art's Sake". BLASTING out. I had to give him a cheer & raised hat as he went by. One of 10cc's best tunes & a vinyl 45 I spin often. "Art for Art's Sake, Money for God's sake" is the cry of many an artist & musician.

[@TheNotedHero]

"Cricket" is referring to the sport of cricket. Massive across the world, over 2 billion fans. This song was used in promo's for the sport back in the 90s and 00s, if I remember correctly.

[@RicoBurghFan]

This song is brilliant on so many levels. Such tight production and great instrumentation, particularly the drums and bass along with the excellent layered vocals. The fact that four British guys could play such perfect reggae and use Jamaican accents and lingo without being a parody is nothing short of amazing. They had two huge hits in the US but were massive in the UK. Check out Life Is A Minestrone, Good Morning Judge, Art For Art's Sake and Rubber Bullets, the early stuff before the US hits. Very creative and also pretty hilarious. Enjoy your journey on the 10cc train!

There is something about this band when they are on video that shows they know what they are doing.

[@albarton7189]

“I’m Mandy, Fly Me” is my favorite by this band.

[@tommurrell1588]

Amber and Jay, 10cc had so many outstanding songs in a wide variety of styles! One of my all time favorite songs is "I'm Mandy, Fly Me", based on a series of airline commercials in the 70s where a beautiful stewardess (attendant) would come on and say "I'm Michelle, Fly Me" , or "I'm Misty, Fly Me" , etc. 10cc members were all great songwriters, singers, musicians and they loved incorporating humor and wordplay into their songs. Plus outstanding production/sound. (Which means it's important to use their studio album versions, not live performances). Others below have suggested a lot of great songs by them. I would highly recommend "Feel The Benefit" for a more typical song of theirs that really showcases their talents. And the two of you would totally relate to "Rock 'n' Roll Lullaby", as it is a song sung to a very young child such as your son.

[@matmagix3845]

My favourite alltime 10cc song is "Somewhere In Hollywood" - which is very pretty from an art perspective.

[@jesselobo3213]

Thank you for introducing me to this great song that I didn't know 10CC produced.

[@Phil_A_O_Fish]

Jay and Amber, 10cc were formed in Stockport, Cheshire ( although it's now part of Greater Manchester ) in 1972. To the best of my knowledge three out of the four members of the band are Jewish which is quite ironic when you think about it regarding this being a very popular reggae track, isn't it? Most people of a certain age here in the U.K. loved it when it first came out because it helped us with diversity and inclusion as well as with us being able to party with one another. If you like reggae from this side of the 'Pond' you'd do well to listen to UB40 who became popular towards the end of the 1970's and flourished throughout the whole of the 1980's. If you like UB40 you should watch the documentary of their tour of the USSR in 1986 which is readily available on KZbin under the title of UB40 - CCCP. You should also bear in mind regarding that tour that it took place before the end of the Cold War as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall. By the way, Amber, cricket is a very popular summer sport here in the U.K. and it's also very popular around the world - most especially in the West Indies, on the Indian subcontinent, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and anywhere else where it was exported to from here in the U.K. I hope that this little bit of sporting information is helpful to you as well.

[@DaeronK]

10CC are still touring albeit with only one member of the original line up, Graham Gouldman. I saw them last year just before Xmas and they are still brilliant!!

[@simonlitten]

10cc were very inventive and eschewed artistic boundaries. The band's two best albums were "How Dare You" and "Original Sound Track". However, my personal favourites are: Wall Street Shuffle (from Sheet Music), I'm Not In Love, and One Night in Paris (both from Original Sound Track). But, as always, it's a taste thing.

[@keithjones7390]

It is indeed a personal taste thing, for me their first two albums will always be my favourites. That's. not to say l didn't like their subsequent albums, but my thoughts were that they were almost trying too hard to impress with more complex longer tracks. The shorter songs on those first two albums always make you feel you want to hear more.

[@kazz3956]

Ohh, wow love this song… brings back the feel of summer and cricket, probably because the song was used in Australia to promote the game. Advertisements played “I don’t like cricket. Oh no, I love it”. It was a while ago, maybe in the 80’s. If you do like a touch of reggae maybe listen to Cold Chisel “Breakfast at Sweethearts”. It is not quite as much reggae as this song by 10 cc, but I love it, pardon the pun. Cold Chisel’s genre is pub rock band. Keep smiling.

Hi, I saw Graham gouldman/10cc at the Victoria hall in Stoke-on-Trent last year.😊. Also big cold chisel fan as I lived in Australia back in the 80s🇭🇲. I saw cold chisel on a rare UK tour back in 2012 ! , also jimmy barnes live in Birmingham back 2001. Still listen to a lot of oz/nz bands from the 80s. Great times !🇭🇲🇬🇧👍

[@bobbyy956]

Art for arts vsake and Rubber bullets are other big hits for 10cc as well as donna ...good morning gudje ....

[@leew6091]

10CC are so versatile. So many different styles incorporated into their music.

[@gugula11]

Cricket is popular in most Commonwealth countries! It’s a sport where there is two players that run back & forth to sticks hitting the ball to get runs on the board. Google it! But yeah took me back down memory lane. West Team was one of the best teams in the world back then when this song was popular!

[@terryhughes7349]

Great reaction! Best line "I don't like Reggae.....I LOVE IT"

[@johnbrowne3950]

The Things We Do For Love.

[@davidhanson8681]

"Wall Street Shuffle" is one of 10cc's more uptempo songs and can easily describe the stock market now as well as in the 70's.

[@kornsvede]

Rubber bullets, Somewhere in Hollywood, Blackmail, Good Morning Judge. Waterfall, Life is a Minestrone, Silly Love is some of my favorite 10 cc songs.

[@windsorSJ]

To my mind 10cc was on the same road that the Beatles lay down. Every song of theirs is different, you never know what you're going to get. Great band. Also you could listen to Godley and Creme. The most creative team that made 10cc.

[@volkerthienenkamp9720]

You will love I'm Mandy fly me and The Wall Street Shuffle. A different vibe everytime, but always brilliant. And their Rubber Bullets is the wake up tone on my phone, wonderful.

[@Ozz1738]

I saw them live August 2022 and they where absolutely brilliant!

[@francesthompson593]

Graham Gouldman one of members of 10cc wrote songs for the Hollies, the Yardbirds and Herman’s Hermits. 10cc an extremely talented group who managed to straddle pop and rock very skilfully. Tracks like Life is a Minestrone. Rubber Bullets, The Dean and I or the Brilliant Won’t Feel The Benefit!

[@Rich_N_1]

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but this track and the album "Bloody Tourists" that it was taken from were recorded long after the departure of Godley and Creme, part of the "classic" 10cc 4 piece which recorded "I'm not in Love" etc. The original foursome were all insanely talented multi instrumentalists / vocalists as well as bringing together two different song writing teams, Godley and Creme leaning more towards more "experimental" compositions and Stewart and Gouldman being more "pop" oriented. Many have wondered why 10cc never had the worldwide commercial success enjoyed by, for example, Queen, ("I'm not in Love" was released around 6 months before the similarly multi tracked "Bohemian Rhapsody"), and the prevailing view is that it was the sheer "versatility" of the band that held them back from achieving world wide success. Unlike Queen , who always had their own recognisable sound because Freddie Mercury was always on vocals and other members had their own defined roles within the band, 10cc operated as a true "co-operative", the four deciding whose vocals, to use that as an example, best suited the song regardless of who had written it. The result being that there was never a truly unique and recognisable 10cc sound across their singles, as there was with Queen, that a US audience, for example, could identify with. Shame really, sometimes talent alone isn't enough.

[@magneto7930]

The Things We Do for Love by 10cc...next!

[@johnbirch5896]

Glad you figured it out. 10cc was british rock band. Song was wriitten in supprt of jamaican immigrants in the uk. Jamaica (former british colony) loves cricket reggae and ganja. But jamaica can be "ruff goin" once you leave the hotel tourist area. Love you guys...john

[@brucepryce9716]

Graham Gouldman is a historic songwriter! He wrote Bus Stop for the Hollies, For Your Love and Heart Full of Soul for the Yardbirds! Crème and Godley are also ground breaking artists! Check them out! So much talent in this group! I see you listened to Rubber Bullets, 😂

[@briantempleman6561]

"I'm mandy fly me " with lyrics. Brilliant song

[@kevincook4279]

The song is about 10cc member Eric Stewart and Justin Hayward, (Moody Blues), experience in Jamaica! Having visited Kingston, Jamaica, many times , (and my wife and I were married there), the intimidation and danger, there, s REAL!

[@davidhuggan6315]

I've met 10cc twice and they are lovely guys

[@abbafan1972]

I can’t remember what the 1st 10cc song you did but I would recommend the things we do for love, rubber bullets, good morning judge. Also 2 members left the group , they are known as Godley & Crème and had hits of their own. Notable songs by them are cry and wedding bells, to name a couple.

[@geoffreydavid1963]

Memories...from the album "Bloody Tourists"..what a blast!

[@Malfie657]

10cc turned out consistent hits in the UK for most of the 1970's, but less so in the US. To be honest there are do many songs of theirs I could recommend (and of Godley and Creme who two of the band morphed into) that it's hard to pick, but do keep trying them - you won't be disappointed.

[@LMmccallL57]

Amber, Cricket is a sport that is popular in Jamaica, England, India and other parts of the world. I hear this fairly often on Pandora.
