HD version available at jbeamish.com A video by Jonathan Beamish for the earliest recorded version of the song produced as a John Peel Session for the BBC in 1979. The original band footage is a mixture of a performance video shot by the band for the single release (minus the damaged shots) and live concert excerpts from Plank, Brussels and the Apollo, Manchester. . We needed to do some tricky retiming and editing to sync it up with the footage which is from completely different versions of the song. Odd to discover that much of the original performance video done for the single release wasn’t edited properly with much of the shots of the band playing not cut accurately to the audio.
The cure for being single when nothing else has worked

@blackhorse099 Hmm, if I recall you made an assumption about me first without knowing the first thing about me. “another politically correct gay loving douchebag” I’d say that’s quite the assumption to make. Anyway, calm your nerves, son. No need for the essay. Enjoy the music, kid.

@blackhorse099 Perhaps a silly notion, but not to me. I found it disgusting that someone who could listen to some of the shittiest, pathetic excuse for music would say this song is “annoying.” And yes, yes, music is completely subjective bla bla bla. But I don’t think it always is completely subjective. There is beautiful music, and then there is shit music that involves obnoxious, brainless individuals rapping about how sexy they think they are. And there you go. I hope you can get over it.

@YourHeartHere Intellectually deficient? As you don’t even know the first thing about me besides the fact that I hate the Black Eyed Peas and love this song, that’s quite the assumption to make. And I hardly feel the NEED to diss other “bands” (not like you can call the Fag Eyed Peas a band), for the purpose of getting brownie points. I was so frustrated by the situation that I described in the comment, and wanted to scream, so I felt I HAD to write it somewhere.

@blackhorse099 oh boy, another typical youtube commenter who lacks the wit and intellect to come up with a clever diss toward a totally unrelated music group whilst trying to get brownie points from other intellectually deficient strangers who feel the need to diss other bands just to show they’re fans of another.

@YourHeartHere Oh boy, another politically correct gay loving douchebag who wants to tell me I shouldn’t say the word fag.

My younger brother who listens to the Fag Eyed Peas just told me to stop playing this aloud because this song “annoys him.” Oh fucking hell NO. Not on my watch….
