- Ellen Foley tells a peculiar fact about 'Should I stay or should I go'. The song is written and sung by Mick Jones, the guitarist of The Clash and Ellen's partner at the time. An interview from 2019.
Ellen Foley is just brilliant ! .. Love her spectacularly good vocals on the wonderful "Night Out" album .. And the follow up "Spirit of St.Louis, is also one of my favourite albums, although it's hugely under-rated .. She is also great to listen to in interviews .. Very charismatic woman .. Thanks for the upload !
Ms Foley. The absolutely brilliant female voice of Bat Out Of Hell.
,,When he saw them, he took off like a *bat on a hill."*
(Christopher Moltisanti describing Vito’s disappearance, The Sopranos, 1999)
Also the original singer of "Its all coming back to me", as part of the group Pandoras Box, a group Jim Steinman formed (who was also behind the majority of Meatloaf's songs)
@@juliusnepos6013meatloaf always made me laugh especially with that I would do anything for love but I won't do that song
Brilliant!!! I loved it. The Clash (Mick Jones and Ellen Foley what a hell of a song Hitsville U.K.
More people should have listened to Ellen Foley amazing first album.
Loved her on Night Court
She also sings backing vocals on Carjamming ,a track from the biggest selling Clash album Combat Rock.Which just happens to contain Should I Stay....Her royalties will be for Carjamming.If people were paid for being the subject matter for songs ,we'd all be owed for every song that mentioned "everyone" and "everybody" !
Great story !
I just love these videos even if I dont know who they are there still fun to watch
She's the duet voice with Meatloaf in the song, "Paradise By the Dashboard Lights"
Hey Debbie, I knew her in high school. All girls Catholic schools. She was best friends with one of my best friends. She was a rockstar from the get go!
@@housekeeping3561 Wow that is so nice. did you see each other later on in life.
@@debbiecooper1677 Not really but my friend does. So that’s fun.
but... these videos literally tell you who they are.....
Ellen Foley was great in Night Court too
Gotta love Ellen..straight shooter and extremely talented artist..
thanks! *♡
Nice to here of the friendship of hers with M Jones...she's a nice person...I bet it was a bout her
Wow, if that is true, Pattie Boyd must be rolling in the green...
She is pretty cool
HITSVILLE UK, great,great marimba punk. Mick has an ear for an earworm. He was the melodic one, Joe was different. Anyway, love them all four + passengers
cool!
❤
Sweet anecdote! :-0 Money for something of nothing. I wonder if they tracked down the worker(s) that inspired "Money For Nothing"?
indeed, do they also get paid ? 😉
Did Jones take some musical inspiration from these songs? Or maybe just rock 'n roll doppelgangers

It's generally believed that the Clash "borrowed" it from The Righteous Brothers "Little Latin Lupe Lu" released December 1962:

Hitsville UK is from 1980, not 1981.
Pretty girls can't look away!
Will 'Baby' from 'What's the matter baby' get royality's too ?
Ellen Foley was brilliant with Meat Loaf!!!!
My last name is Foley, and I look like the pics of her when she was younger. I wonder if we’re related.
Foley: _,,Yeah, I was wondering how much something like this went for."_
Serge _,,One hundred and thirty thousand dollar."_
Foley _,,Get the _*_****_*_ outta here!"_
Serge _,,No! No, I cannot. It's serious, because it's very important piece."_
Foley: _,,Have you ever sold one of these?"_
Serge: _,,Sell it yesterday to a collector."_
Foley: _,,Get the _*_****_*_ outta here!"_
Serge: _,,No, I'm serious! I sell it myself."_
Summers: _,,Axel _*_Foley,_*_ what on earth are you doing here?"_
(Beverly Hills Cop, 1984)
Maybe you’re related to the late Blaze Foley?
Maybe you are her lost kid 😏?
Have you ever lived in a van by the river?.......
@@supachaloopa3611 No, but I actually want to, which is super funny lol. I also joke about getting a pet and naming it Matt because all the vets in the US now seem to use the owner’s last name for the pet’s last name on paperwork and medication containers (e.g. Fluffy Johnson, Spot Jones). 😂😂😂
I love the hitsville uk song I thought it was cute I thought she was British because sang that song and dated Mick Jones
I'll be spending the rest of the day editing Wikipedia pages to say I'm the Wichita Lineman, Elanor Rigby, and all the characters in Walk on the Wild Side.
They guessed when you spelt your name incorrectly….Eleanor. 😉🙂👍🏽
@@derin111 *spelled*
@@supachaloopa3611 next time look in a dictionary before you criticise or correct! I am English. 'Spelt' is the correct spelling of the past tense form of the verb to "spell".
As this refers to something done in the past i.e. the naming of this song and the spelling of the name contained therein and what Scott had done in spelling the name is also an action completed in the past, it is by definition in the past tense.
"Spelled" is the form more commonly used in American English...which as far as I'm concerned isn't even English, as defined by the fact that it requires the qualifying prefix "American".
How do you like that?
@@derin111 Your "concern" and my "correction" are in conflict with each other. You are all "worked up into a frenzy", and I am "happy and content". That also demonstrates polar differences.
@@supachaloopa3611 What?
You've got egg all over face and you remain content? HAHAHA!
Anyway, I would have hoped that with the embarrassing demonstration of your ignorance you would be suitably chasened and your arrogance diminished. Evidently not! Haha!
Now that is a funny story
Night Court
What a wonder full woman……… we need people like her, the muze of men
They should have made her at least part-time singer for them. None of them could sing worth a damn. They couldn't even vocalize the way Lydon did for the Sex Pistols--a real rock star voice. It was always a big weakness of the Clash, that lack of vocals.
Joe Strummer wrote the song as he did with most Clash songs and mick wrote the music
.
I don’t believe that is true -most songs were Strummer-Jones just like the Beatles, BUT whoever sang the song wrote music and lyrics ..
It's well known that Mick wrote these lyrics...I think at one point Joe even wrote a spoof version kind of making fun of him 😂
Is this the woman that Meatloaf didn’t want to marry?
