I was working in the construction industry. It was the 80s I had one of those big portable stereos that blasted it out. We were on the roof of a 3 storey building repairing the tiles. We had this song blasting out full power people looking up from the street, 3 grooving construction workers shaking it to this song. A small crowd gathered in their lunch break. We got a round of applause at the end. Thanks for the clip bringing back the memory.
Sounds fun. Nowadays you'd get an army of sheep sharing you all over the net. You can't enjoy anything today without the smartphone brigade watching... I hate the damn things.
Saw them at rock city 1983 Nottingham doing this track live, well they were there.... they were magic... just lstened again, brings back great memories.
CZcams music is not complete without people launching Napoleonic hate-campaigns against one another in the comment threads. Sweet track, thanks for uploading!
I mean…this is better than Living on the Ceiling. At the prime age of 23, I’m fairly young to be into all the late 70s early 80s post punk new wave electronic and synth-pop from Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk’s Autobahn, from Numan to OMD, to Depeche Mode and Talk Talk, to Heaven 17 and China Crisis, and Blancmange are hardly talked about in comparison. I think after the Human League they’ve got just the most interesting overtly synth-pop sound. That pulsing bass is killer “ma mo mo mo mo *thud *SMACK ma mo mo mo mo *thud *SMACK I live for this stuff on my playlist, always gets my head bopping!
Love this...Reminiscing I used to go to independant record shops and the guy behind the counter would recommend a listen. I bought this on 12'..still have it...no finger prints...ha ha nerd alert
@ SuspectVandal- I actually quite like the Faithless version ... it is good to see them reving what is essentially a lost track with a modern feel. It is a remix ... it aint supposed to be the same!
@TheNewMusicNetwork One could argue that Arthur Baker and John Robie made a Kraftwerk cover version which is not stealing. Unfortunately for you i think Feel me is the forgotten track compared to the Wildstyle track however that is just my opinion.

A great tune.. Blancmange were a quality band!!
Blew me away when I bought Happy Families new, blows me away 25+ yrs later.
Its hard not to smile when reading your comments. Perhaps one day you realise there is a whole world out there
Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mind you my favourite is still Living on a Ceiling
top tune this is still got the the vinyl to living on the ceiling and this was on the b side
great electronic track of the 80's
ah songs from the good old DANCERTERIA DAYS..
where the second floor played all cool music..
OMG! I haven't heard this song in decades! Last time was somewhere in the 80s on KROQ! One of their best songs!
Blancmange = Early 80s nite clubs ... fun times! Club Voodoo and Bio-rythm in Toronto!!!
I remember going out and dancing to this........ happy days.
one of the best long-play records of the 80s. reminds me of going out and dancing all night long.
excellent "disco- new wavw " styll song !!
the one that i liked most after "living on the ceiling"
Here comes a love song...
...there goes a banister.
One of my Blancmange favorites. Thanks for sharing ♥♪☮
We used to use this in a killer exercise class in the 80's doing left lifts and barre work. It was pretty funny!
Dance to the beat !
Thanks for sharing this amazing song.

i got the 7" pic disc of this , nice disc .
Such a good track, even Faithless couldn't fuck it up...
try mixing this with chic- good times 12" mix, truly awesome

I think you missed the point, Wildstyle by Timezone sampled the bassline from Feel me

is this the John Luongo remix
try it with a cdj 1000 mk3 and then you may realise, or even listen to wildstyle by time zone and dream of that bangin mix
harrington bar liverpool.

no he didn't
