I remember when this was a thing, I'm so old.

[@petemaxwell1136]

I have loved Rockabilly and Rock n Roll since I was a little boy, im in my late 50s now and still love them just as much

[@speedy692]

Love this song. There were some great Rockabilly songs in the early 80's.

[@mattcollier5957]

I was with Graham Fenton the other day and were talking, remember seeing them at our local Rock N Roll club when i was in my late teens, was a Ted then, This is the tune that started the Rockabilly revival in the 80s, no doubt the signature tune. Im still Rockin to this day in my 50s, and will do until my last breath

[@seamusegan1311]

Me to but the music got better so did the clothes

[@PaulP999]

I was surprised when they made the mainstream and at first was pleased but soon we started getting plastic rocker arseholes turning up at our venues and causing fights etc - taught me it was much better being off everyones radar.

[@djangiebaby]

I love this band & their music .. i love a lot of different music .. this i do love 💖

[@gustavheinemann8124]

This damn song and video caused big rockabilly reinvention in Helsinki area 1979-1981. Teens walking grease in their hair with and southern flags everywhere, Stray cats became big, teddy boys beating up punks, it was pretty crazy.

[@pauldashwood2897]

Brings back memories of great days .im still rocking.

[@David-sk9vv]

Everything has meaning, even today... even today's music. Just because it may not appeal to those of us who were around when Rockabilly Rebel came out... does not mean today's music doesn't appeal at all! We need to remember tthat everything is designed to enrich the lives of those who are around at 'that' time... Rockabilly enriched our lives back then... music created today enriches the lives of those born today... let's just embrace everything that enriches... EVERYONE'S lives... then, now and forever! Music enriches everyone's lives... Rockabilly Rebel... bet your ROCKABILLY arse it does 🤪 Merry Christmas, celebrate it or not, for whatever wonderful reason... know you are loved, appreciated and respected Xx

Graham Fenton was Best Mate at my , now wife's', best mates wedding. My car was the brides car (a 1960 PA cresta jet black) their leaving car was a 1959 Caddy. I took Graham back to his Hotel to pick up his Aston Martin when Matchbox were at their best in the charts. Different and better times. This was in the very early '80's

[@redruby5689]

Legends !!!😂

[@davelawday6609]

After a gig at the lion and key in Layton we all set off to a party in one of the local tower blocks and all got stuck in the lift with Graham 😂

This was my late father's favourite song. He never bought a record in his life except this one and I had to play it for him over and over again on the record player as he loved it so much. I was 16 when this song was released. Matchbox were a class act.

[@djordjeilic542]

Good bless you

[@steveblease]

You still got the record?

[@robertglare9019]

Great fun loving song. Thank goodness all of these fantastic old clips are still around, I'd go crazy if I had to listen to todays crap

Love these rockabilly rebels . Time to bring back the rockabilly movement.

[@danielstokker]

We never went away always rockabilly's walking around somewere if they dont look the part it fills their heart and soul you cant always see

[@timbayliss4153]

Whenever I have talked to people about Rockabilly and also Ska, old friends always have told me, any aggro around that Music, was always started by non Rockabilly other music cult people. Also it has been a case of bands reforming, or sadly permanently splitting up.

[@johnnyrebel7597]

Its never gone away .Its bigger now than ever mate .Just not in the mainstream . Matchbox are still gigging yet .

[@metrodraft]

Loved this song when it was released. Just recently found a mint copy of the LP at a used record store. Have been playing it ever since. Great album too!

[@charlesnelson7781]

Old music by far the best singers 1960s and 1970s and 1980s 👍

[@RichardHallam-p6r]

It all started back in the 1950s, both Rock N Roll, Rock a Billy.

[@_Ben4810]

The secret of this song & just how good it forever sounds must go to recording engineer Mike Shipley....He was an absolute genius, really understood how to make & record great sounds & had the most incredible career, from Matchbox & The Damned in the 70's thru' so many including Def Leppard, Faith Hill, Kelly Clarkson, Shania Twain & Alison Krauss before his sad passing away...

[@dupont135]

Is the video a bit edited (censored)? No South flag any more...

[@austinmackie2249]

One of the best rockabilly songs ever, keep rockin

Oh to be 16 again. Big big smiles, I love the blast from the past.🤣

Le chanteur du groupe chantait dans les années 80 du gêne vincent a perfection je l'ai vu dans un festival a Londres . Tout en cuir les yeux levé la voi ont aurai dit gêne vincent. Matchtbox était un des meilleurs groupes rockabilly qu' ont a eu la chance de voir et écouté des génies avec Crazy Cavan Shakin Stevens et les sunsets et les Stray Cats du lourd et toujours bien présent avec maintenant rockabilly riot et Brian Setzer jazz band . Et Brian est un génie de guitariste amitié à tout les rockys rockeurs en croix.
