    Probably the most underrated song of the 90's. I saw this once on TV and could never forget about it. Can't find it on Spotify, it's a shame. Songs half this good from the same era have a million views on CZcams. This is an awesome song, yet some teenager playing with slime gets viewed ten time more than this. Humanity doesn't deserve this song.

This is their best video....finally one to go with the song. A band who wee ahead of their time. If they released this song now with the right promotion, it would be huge. Good luck guys.

    • @97channel

      Sadly, I reckon it would be even more ignored today than it was back then. They really pushed this track, top spots and interviews on all the chart shows, yet it still got nowhere.
      There just isn't enough appreciation for their style. And it's always somewhat baffled me, as to why not.

    +Haris Baki : 100% agree with New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Genesis, Depeche Mode, Queen, the Smiths (so nice to see _someone_ give kudos to Genesis and PSB, not sure why so many give'em a miss), but I do also love me some Oasis and Lightning Seeds! Not too sure about Take That, boy bands aren't really my thing (though I have nothing against that genre). You do have mint taste, though, that yer do lad! ;)

    I have to say that this is my fave track by LS. However, it's pretty obvious that none of them were comfortable filming that video. Indeed, IB VERY uncomfortable. It's a weird vid anyway, and not at all in keeping with the band's "genre", so probably forced on them by their record company. However, still love the track.

      Hardly. The Lightning Seeds always had a 'dancy' element to their music. Tracks like Marvellous, Why Why Why, The Life of Riley, Happy Satellite and this one are particularly dance oriented. It was also very much what Ian Broudie wanted to do at the time. The band always sat comfortably between pure pop, 60s rock, indie and dance by combining all of them.
