"I feel beneath the white there is red skin suffering from centuries of taming" I love this song... and really wish he had kept exploring tribal rhythms through the 80s!
Dont remember this and dont quite get why they’d be on TOTP playing what was by then an old single!? Cracking single though that saw very little radio air play at the time
@@michaeltk04 If it's not him, it must just be a sessions musician stepping in between Kevin leaving and Gary coming in. It's certainly not Leigh Gorman.
Dirk wears white sox is class plus Xerox machine car trouble etc seen them threeon that tour with the cure and manufactured romance as support at sheffield , Def best early era .
As an incredibly heterosexual man, nobody should be that good looking! Always was jealous even back in the 80s when I had a lot of hair, now sadly departed!

By god Adam looked amazing,like nothing before.
I love the sound of those drums.
Double drumming was inspired by tribal beats
@@arricammarques1955 Good to know.
Two drummers! Fucking rocks!
Burundi drummers that is. And the singing sometimes from the Native Americans. Loveee it 😊👍🏼
@@mantras1pit57fact! 😎
We were so spoiled for good music in the '80s.
The number of classic tracks in that top 40 - unreal
Best music in the 80’s todays is utter pap (give or take a few) more people are listening to the 80’s than ever before xx
apart from, you know, in the 80s
those lucky people in that audience watching that for the first time.
TOTP on a Thursday. That Friday, there was much drumming on desks.
Ha ha, indeed, and pieces of white tape across noses!!
Their best song IMO…great performance too.
Yes those drums and Adam singing and dancing! AMAZING!🐜🐜🐜
Favourite band of my childhood
Young Parisians, Antmusic and KOTWF all charting at once, good times for Mr Goddard
In the 21 Feb '81 chart, he actually had 5 singles in the top 75, with Car Trouble and Zerox in addition to those three.
The man is an unacknowledged genius
Beginning of the "Antmania" in UK and also in Australia.
@@timwaterschoot-jt8xd I`m English but was working in Oz for 6 months in 1981 when I was 16 so saw his gig in Sydney,he was amazing.
this sound bridged punk to the new romantic movement..

The Hairy Cornflake
who's the bass player? (not Kevin or Gary)
marco pirroni
@@terawattz no Marco is on guitar. Who is on bass?
I'm sure that's Andy Warren.
It doesnt look like Andy....????

i rem when he had total meltdown on 5 live only time i had time for nicky cambell
Who’s on bass? Mooney must have left already. He needed to get a new guitar strap.
Geez, just syncing to the track? I'm surprised he'd do that.
Man, I REALLY wanted to like them... but I never got the music. Stand and deliver was good, though.
Not exactly Dirk wears white sox, is it! Still a great song though, a pity he went all pop song with utter rubbish like Prince Charming!

I miss TOTP 2024!
