[@malcolmpayne8211]

Great song. This seems to be the short version though, it's missing the second load up with rubber bullets chorus.

[@gotham61]

10cc was a very unusual band. They didn't really have a "lead singer" as such, they traded off vocals on different songs much like The Beatles did. They were also studio producers and recording engineers before they were a band, and built two of the best recording studios in England. Kevin Godley and Lol Creme went on to become groundbreaking music video creators and artists. Check out their video for the Cry by Godley and Creme, the video is amazing.

[@Markogleby]

I love CRY by Godley & Creme

[@paulnixon9861]

Very true. while Godley/Creme and Stewart/Gouldman were the 2 main writing combinations, the 4 of them contributed in all sorts of combinations. I think that's why they produced such a wide range of music, as any listen to their greatest hits 72-78 testifies. Their albums are all well worth a listen, but for me they rate as one the great UK singles bands, along with the likes of Madness and Squeeze.

[@joannecunliffe8067]

My favourite track (by far) by Godley and Creme is "Under your thumb" (which has personal undertones for me too). It's a very clever story song IMHO.

[@chrisnaylor8938]

They are all multitalented and multi-instrumentalists who could have been as big as Queen if they had liked each other a bit more!

Incredibly talented group of musicians , one of my favourite bands from the 70s

[@kimcutts6153]

10CC was a big part of my growing up in the 70s. They had quite a few hits, each one different from the last. "The Things We Do For Love" " Donna" "Good Morning Judge" "Life Is A Minnestrone" "Im Mandy Fly Me"

[@nancysmith38]

They were a fun band! They were so talented but were considered ‘odd’. Loved them!

[@johnmaynardable]

All 4 of the original members were lead singers in this band. Check out Wall Street Shuffle next. I love this band. They are insanely talented. 2 of the band members left 10cc. They were Kevin Godley and Lol Creme and they recorded as Godley/Creme. They recorded a lot of great songs like Punchbag and they had a hit song with Cry (which has a great video).

[@twelveytwelve]

And An Englishman In New York, not to be confused with Sting's Englishman In New York.

[@richardgoddard37]

Lol Creme was also a member of The Art of Noise for a bit too.

[@michaeldowson6988]

This was a great band. With 4 players who could write and sing, giving them more scope for variety...and they indulged in their sense of humour freely. Have a listen to Dreadlock Holiday, Head Room, How Dare You, I Wanna Rule The World, Second Sitting For The Last Supper, and many more.

[@pauldunn5978]

The message behind this song was hidden by the upbeat nature. It was inspired by the Attica prison riots in the US in 1972 which resulted in the police opening fire on the prisoners who were holding guards hostage. But it was random fire and as well as 30 prisoners dying, there was also about a dozen guards killed, only a couple by the prisoners and the rest by the police. It was a major event in US prison history and led to changes. How about trying " I'm Mandy, fly me" next. Another brilliant song disguising a bizarre subject. A plane crash and flight attendant saving a passenger from drowning but then disappearing presumed dead. A masterpiece.

[@pauldunn5978]

@Freedom10521 Thanks . You may read some places that rubber bullets was to do with Northern Ireland but the info about Attica is taken from an interview with the band. 10CC were unique. I love " Good morning Judge " too. Great song great video. Really good fun and I bet J would love it.

[@Rich_N_1]

And herein lies the reason why 10cc never had the international success they so richly deserved. Each member was an insanely talented vocalist / multi intstrumentalist and, because the band worked as a true co-operative, virtually every song had a different lead vocalist, (decided by the band members themselves in that who's vocals suited that particular song, regardless of who had written it), the instrumentation was also spread around the band members, rather than having a recognised lead guitarist for example. The result being there was no recognisable 10cc sound, as there was with their close contemporaries Queen, each single was completely different and, whilst they were all great tracks, there was nothing for audiences in the US, for example, to latch on to as they could with Queen or the Rolling Stones, where each member had their own role within the group. Whilst 10cc had a lot of success here in the UK and Europe, building on their breakout hit "I'm Not In Love" in the US and other parts of the world, proved problematical. Shame really!, sometimes talent alone simply isn't enough.

[@jacobscreek1000]

There's a line of the lyrics missing from that version. Originally it included "We all got balls and brains, but some's got balls and chains"

[@fatherman9]

The lead singer and the drummer - Godley & Creme - they had a hit song called "Cry"

[@magneto7930]

The Things We Do for Love by 10cc, that is the obvious one to react to next!

[@markfadness9204]

10cc's "Rubber Bullets" was their debut single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking @ #73 in 1973. Nothing else charted until mid-1975 when "I'm Not In Love" debuted, eventually peaking @ #2 (3 weeks) and became their biggest chart hit.

[@PedroConejo1939]

I am so glad you got round to this. I loved it when it came out and is so singable - and it's on point. It's still a favourite and is on my in-car playlist. 10cc were such an interesting band, I think this was the first song of theirs I heard. Well, it got my attention at the time. The song came close to being banned because of references to rubber bullets, a contemporary British Army crowd control device in Northern Ireland.

[@jamesevans3492]

I Haven't Heard This 10CC Song For Over 40 Years Now, And I Remember It When It Was On The Radio Back In 1973, When I Was 11 Years Old . . . ;-)

[@alexhorsburgh5986]

10cc from Manchester,England with their first UK number 1 there. They are a truly inventive band with an amazing history. Drummer Kevin Godley and lead singer Lol Creme basically invented the concept of the pop video in the 80s after they split from the band and also had hits as the duo Godley and Creme. The 10cc hit I'm Mandy Fly me next please and check out the UK top 10 hit from Godley and Creme called Under Your Thumb.

[@justinthejames]

“The Things We Do For Love”, “People In Love”, “Good Morning Judge”, “I’m Mandy Fly Me” and the list goes on!! So many great 10cc songs to choose from!

[@keithjones7390]

Yes and some great ones nobody mentions. Album tracks like Hotel, Baron Samedi, Somewhere in Hollywood, Sand in My Face and Speed Kills for example.

[@TheMeerkat2323]

It's amazing that one band can have so many hits with so many different genre's of music, there's this which came under the umbrella of glam rock, I'm not in love which was a love song, dreadlock holiday, a reggae song and then a number of regular pop songs, you never knew what you were going to get next from them

[@pzpete]

The BBC censored the line "we all got balls and brains but some got balls and chains"!

[@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!!!

[@paulpietromonaco3773]

There's a lot of comments here - but I thought I'd mention something cool about that guitar solo. It's not an amp setting per se - he used a standard Marshall stack. Instead, Eric Stewart recorded it "double speed" - he slowed the tape down then played it with the backing track at half tempo, so that it would sound impossibly fast and an octave higher when played at regular speed. He then multi-tracked it. Eric was the owner of the studio they used - Strawberry - so they were able to do things like that without time constraints - like the massed overdubbed voices in "I'm Not In Love".

[@dongange]

Graham Gouldman, perhaps the most underrated songwriter of his generation. Between 1965-67 he wrote probably the 3 biggest Yardbirds hits, Look through any window & Bus Stop for the Hollies, No Milk Today plus a couple others for Herman’s Hermits, Tallyman for Jeff Beck as well as UK charting hits for Wayne Fontana. That’s years before his wonderful career with 10cc. An under appreciated giant in the art form imo

[@andymageen5308]

Absolutely spot on, I have always loved his music, such smart lyrics ✌️

[@sunnystormy4973]

-underrated is so overused !-

In the 1980s, he also went on the be one half of Wax, with Andrew Gold, which was an entertaining collaboration too.

"Dean And I", "Hospital Song"...bits of their quirky side. :) They left out part of the lyrics that go "When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard (exercise yard, the exercise yard) We all got balls and brains But some's got balls and chains At the local dance at the local county jail"

[@davewilson9219]

Another great band from Manchester, England. Godley and Creme were born in my birth town of Prestwich and Graham Gouldman in Broughton just down the road. Eric Stewart is a Droylsden lad 👍

[@paulmargett9360]

10cc are a very clever band who straddled rock and pop like no other band could. You should listen to ‘You Won’t Feel The Benefit’ , Life Is A Minestrone’ , ‘I’m Mandy Fly Me’ , ‘The Dean And I’. Wall Street Shuffle’ the list goes on!💖

[@brucepryce9716]

Criminally under-known band, one of those rarities where each song has a unique sound, like The Kinks before them and Blur afterwards. Each member was gifted in their own right. You should listen to more.

[@stevedotwood]

They were pretty great. In the late 70s they split (Kevin Godley (drummer) & Lol Creme (singer)) became the creative duo Godley & Creme. The rest of the band remained 10cc with added personell. I have all of their albums. (10cc and Godley & Creme)

[@eyesofisabelofficial]

Eric Stewart on Guitar. On an album track called "Blackmail" (The Original Soundtrack 1975) he bends and strangles that guitar in a mind blowing way not to be found in any other band.

[@user-fu4xm4hs3j]

[@stevemarchant3670]

10cc were known as the Seventies Beatles in some quarters. Their creativity was off the charts. They told a complete story in 3-4 minutes just as with Rubber bullets. Try out Silly Love for great guitar, and Wall Street Shuffle for a creative pop song again or Art for Art's Sake for a vibe.

[@keithglasgow5146]

Hi guys, you should also check out two of the 10:CC members music, Godley and Creme. Big songs like "Under your Thumb", "Cry" and "Wedding Bells" are from the 80s as opposed to 10:CC from the 70s.

“Silly Love” Has achingly sharp guitar chord effect thingies. “Don’t hang up” and “I’m Mandy fly me” if you like clever lyrics and a story with tunes shifts.

[@simonlitten]

That was a truncated version of the song! A classic couplet was omitted: "We've all got balls and brains But some's got balls and chains". Early 10cc refused to fit a mould. The group's next big hit was "Wall Street Shuffle"

[@tetleyT]

Haha. Outrageous. I love it. 10CC are pretty versatile yeah?

[@Krzyszczynski]

Love Amber's reaction at 5:40, as the vocals resume immediately following the release of tension generated by the ascending bass line just beforehand. That tinkling piano over the bass from 5:03-5:14 is so reminiscent of the quiet passage in I'm Not In Love (1975), the one just before the whispers of "big boys don't cry" start up. Wonder if the boys realised they were sort of recycling it on the later recording? .

[@andyhinds542]

I remember hearing this on the radio and watching it on Top Of The Pops back in 1973 and I loved it. I was 6 years old and I still love it now. Check out One Night In Paris from The original Soundtrack which is an epic example of how brilliant production was in the 1970s. The drummer Kevin Godley and singer/guitarist Lol Creme had a very successful career after they left 10cc in 1976. Check out Under Your Thumb from 1981 and An Englishman In New York from 1979. Absolutely brilliant!

[@jeffcher10]

Kevin Godley (the drummer and Lol Creme (lead vocals on this track) did a very funny song called Wedding Bells - the Top of the Pops clip is hilarious with a bride in chains clawing at Kevin - the duo turned to directing videos and made over 100 inc Herbie Hancock's Rock-It, numerous ones by The Police, Tom Jones, U2 and Sting.

[@stuartryan610]

The band are from my home town of Stockport, England. Strawberry Studios is where they recorded most of their stuff but they did have a second studio in the south of England. The studios was used by many artists often with the 10cc guys as producers. 10cc were the studio band for Neil Sedaka who made his music at Strawberry. It still exists but as a museum to it's glorious past. Best album has to be Deceptive Bends. Made in 1976 the first album with the new line up after Godley and Creme left the band it's just afull of clever songs but the best track is Feel the Benefit part 1,2 and 3 which like some early Queen songs roll into each other clocking in around 10 mins 30 secomds. Pure class.

[@Krzyszczynski]

Can I just clarify about Neil Sedaka. It was his comeback music in 1973 (especially the single That's When The Music Takes Me) which was made at Strawberry. His work in the early 60s (Oh Carol, etc) was all done in America.

I've always loved this song, especially the line "we all got balls 'n' brains/well my son's got balls 'n' chains." As a kid I had no idea what it meant, and it was edited out to make it radio friendly, as you heard just before the end, it skips to the last bit of the chorus. I think the full version only appears on the album.

@@jeffcher10 You're dead right - I've still got my copy of the single somewhere, and the bits missing here are definitely on it Good ol' Auntie BBC being prissy again (but how did she miss the earlier mention of guys "ballin' in the street"??!). In fairness, though, it should be noted that Top Of The Pops often edited longer records for length as well as "non-family-friendly" lyrics - the max seemed to be 3.5 minutes. They did something like that the same year to Wizzard's See My Baby Jive.

I think on one European pop show of the time they do sing that line. I'm sure I've seen it on KZbin. Of course after the charts were published on Tuesday afternoon, and the acts were selected to appear on Top of the Pops, they were then supposed to record a version of their current single in a studio accompanied by a Musicians Union official. Perhaps this is the version they recorded for inclusion.

[@BlackHatCinephile]

Eric Stewart (the guitar player in this one) sang "I'm Not In Love" (on piano). Lol Creme is singing this one. Kevin Godley is the drummer, Graham Gouldman is the bass player.

Great one,guys! 10CC's first 4-5 albums are fabulous! Perhaps the best one might be their second one,Sheet Music. Their songs were lyrically either very deep or hysterical-sometimes both. And-- all four of them sang lead and wrote songs. Try Wall Street Shuffle,The Things We Do For Love,and/or Art For Art's Sake. But really,these albums are true gems.

Wow! 😍 Thank you for reacting to this! 10cc should be in the hall of fame for making incredible music in the 70’s and 80’s. So many songs that are just amazing and I would love to see you react to more - Old wild men and Don”t hang up just to mention two out of their fantastic catalogue

[@keithjones7390]

It's their lesser known songs l love the most (as with other bands) songs such as my two favourites Hotel and Speed Kills.

[@tomiandersin]

I totally agree, Hotel is forever tattooed in my soul along with so many other 10cc songs - like The Hospital song, Fresh air for my mama, Lazy ways, Somewhere in Hollywood, I wanna rule the world etc etc. So creative and talented all four of them. Too bad we only got four albums before Godley & Creme decided to leave.

New artist suggestions :- Stranglers (No More Heroes/Sometimes/Peaches) BeBobDeluxe (New Precision/Fair Exchange) Al Jarreau (Black and Blues/Morning) Joan Armatrading (Love and Affection/Show Some Emotion) Scatman John (ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop)

My personal favourite was "I'm Mandy, Fly Me" fantastically emotive song.

[@pcno2832]

It sounds as if the Beach Boys did a glam-rock record about a riot, which isn't totally outlandish considering the fact that the Beach Boys did a cover of "There's a riot going on." in the late 1960s. This glam sound was bigger in the UK than it was here, so it's no surprise that this barely charted in the USA, but hit the top 10 in the UK. 10cc had in interesting history, including ghost-recording for Kasenetz & Katz under the name "Ohio Express" (though most of the big Ohio Express hits were recorded by other people). After so many records that, at least on the surface, came off as light-hearted, "I'm not in love.", dark masterpiece that it was, must have been something of a shock.

You can draw a lot of comparisons with The Beatles. They all sing, they tackle any genre and they were very experimental and ground breaking producers. My favourite of theirs is "I'm Many, Fly Me", but they have plenty more great tracks for you to get through.

[@BobRoyce]

My favorite 10cc is the things we do for love it's an amazing song ahead of it's time😅

[@christianbrasso8257]

SO MANY MORE 10CC TO CHECK OUT SUCH AS GOOD MORNING JUDGE, ART FOR ART SAKE, THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE, WALL ST. SHUFFLE, FEEL THE BENEFIT(LIVE), I'M MANDY FLY ME, FOR YOU AND I, TAKE THESE CHAINS, SHOCK ON THE TUBE, LAST NIGHT, LIFELINE, OLD MISTER TIME, EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT!! ALL ARE GREAT!

[@keithjones7390]

It's their lesser known songs that l love the most. Songs such as Hotel, Speed Kills, Somewhere in Hollywood and Sand in My face.

[@ninasazonova2511]

What about HEADLINE HUSTLER ??? That's my favorite song by them after I'm not in love.

[@keithjones7390]

@@ninasazonova2511 Great song too, l could think of more of course but can't name them all! Two first albums are my favourites, but Blackmail from the Original Soundtrack is my favourite 10cc song.

[@June_The_Leper]

Love your reactions, especially your 10cc reactions! Heres a few song recommendations: Une nuit a paris Blackmail Life is a minestrone Oh effendi Clockwork creep I wanna rule the world Iceberg Im mandy, fly me Feel the benefit (favourite song of all time)

[@jrswinhoe58]

When 10CC split it created two more groups and also they were all at the start of the music video revolution as producers.

[@squidgewinkle]

You gotta do the 10CC track "I'm Not in Love". Truly such a unique, beautiful song, it's very moving. You will love it, guaranteed

[@thatfelladownunder9396]

My favourite song in grade 6. The best line was edited out. “We’ve all got balls and brains, but some have ball and chains”.

[@TheGenXTeacher]

It has a taste of bubble gum pop but with a dark side reminiscent of the 60s protest lyrics. Such a cool song that I had forgotten about (I was 6 when this came out).

[@stevemurrell6167]

I was 13 when this came out.....I loved it and 10CC were one of my favourites from then on.

[@BobRoyce]

Like walking in the rain and the snow. When there's nowhere to go and you are feeling like a part of you is dying..

[@thornbird6768]

Yes 👍🏻👍🏻 great 70’s tune , remember it well .

[@gerardcote8391]

Amber and Jay you liked Night Wish... Here's a similar band you will love. Versailles Revenant Choir live. Amazing singer and musicians that will blow you away. And the most insane costumes ever.

[@davidkarr214]

Try the song "Cry" by Godley and Creme that was included on the 10cc greatest hits album. The long version from Miami Vice tv show.

[@Doggeslife]

This almost sounds like a 50's/60's song. I can almost hear the beach boys in the background singing "Do- Wah wah!"

[@gypsyroadhog]

And when they split, Godley and Crème had some interesting songs inc the haunting “Under your Thumb”
