Soo pretty Voice... 😍😍
What a great sound! Anyone else reminiscent of the great eighties shows? Bands like this, PIL, Flesh for Lulu, G loves J, Skinny Puppy, Pere Ubu...Far too many to name!
Very awesome riff, but feels unfinished or underdeveloped.
Genialidad
Great drummer.
Totally agree with you...
I liked this version. I love The Doors-esque version of the album too.
Their best song?
I accept this song as the artist intended 👍
What's this song talking about...?

This is just one of those songs that's good in the studio, but even better live. 😍
sa, arkadaşları tanımıyorum
funky rhythm. Nice
no more bedbugs...YOU?
Drumming with eggbeaters, genius arrangement.
Your Tube When you don't want a brush but not quite a hotrod either use what works!
Damn it, such a good song! The bass-guitar loop sounds a lot much like 'suicidide blonde' to me, though.
Indeed the bass-guitar sounds like 'suicidide blonde'
This was released in 87, Suicide blonde in 90.
I can't find any info on this recording. Like what's the name of this version? I know it's live but i can't find it anywhere and I really would like to buy it because i think is the best version of the song.
I love the sound of this track, but the chorus sucks serious ass!

Here they went unexpectedly funky
I love the bass!!! <3
Bass on this version is great. Les and Will made a unique guitar sound. Ocean Rain was for me their best but did like all their early ones.
Such a tune👌👌
Finally, I managed to find this
The grainy bw video is strong, but this isn't the best version of the song, in my opinion. This version is too fast and flat compared to the studio version that originally appeared on the EP and is still available. The studio recording of the song had a punchier, richer quality --more complex and fuller sound at a slower pace. Not the original single or live versions, which I consider inferior. Even the so-called "club mix" version of the song on that EP was excellent, though one of the band members said soon after the release that he thought that club mix was terrible; he was wrong. Ray Manzarek played keyboard on both versions as well.
Look for the old grey whistle performance version. Like it like that--stripped down with a bit atmospheric keyboard. Focus on Pete's drumming. Manzarek was just an unneeded layer. Got sick of hearing him with the Doors, I didn't want to hear with the Bunnymen.
recorded in a show in rio, maybe?
1:42 they could hang in that instrumental part 5 min at least
So right! Love the groove.
rumbles.....rumbles.....rumbles..........................rumbles..
Ohhh, yeah.
best. live show. ever.
SEXY SEXY IAN
¡SEÑORA ROLA!

What is talking about?
Kangaroos and chipmonks....
What the fuck is he on? And on about?
His voice is so like Jim Morrison on this song. Love this band so much.
Linda Farrelly your right his voice sounds so much like Jim Morrison if you get a chance check out the CD or the L.P version of this song it really sound like the doors
it's ray manzarek from the doors playing keyboard on the recorded track. and yeh, if you dig the singer definitely check out morrison and the doors. this dude kinda rips him off actually...
Generalissimo X nice catch I hear it
i agree with you!
The album version is a bit better ... the bass and every track sounds somewhat stronger ...
muito bom....
Pete de Freitas....saudades >
REVERBERATION;
COZINHA PERFEITA;
Palmeiras Decacampeão!
what year did this song come out? thx
It was a 1985 B-side then they re-did it for the 1987 self-titled album and then released as a single in early 1988.
man, i am 15 and i cant believe no one my age knows this kind of stuff. What in the fuck is a Beyonce excrement, when you have the majesty of echo & the bunnymen. This is pure, this is life.... what a sad world we live in now; truly stop pro-creating...we dont want anyone coming into a world where a country is run by a fuckin clown pathetic and a child has to succumb his ears to the nasty trash on terrestrial radio. Beyonce, Swift, Beiber? That isn't music, its marketing automats to the mindless masses.
Kip R Kunkle so true!!!
Be my little boyfriend please hahaha
I'm 16, but you're just whining here, people will like different things to you, don't shit in their soup because of it though..
Kip R Kunkle keep listening to the good stuff
Great to know SOME youth have good ears! All those you mentioned, and JZ, Kanye, Rianna, especially Beyonce Boring ARE mass media marketing automats EXACTLY- same tiresome clone drones, rappers, yellers and screamers, yes, even Mariah Can't- Carry- a-Note anymore EVERY damn year...for what...about the last 10, 15 years or 3 decades now? The media promotes what THEY WANT you to hear, not what's really good talent. Wish we had underground or progressive alternative radio back the way it used to be before the conglomerates took over. We have indie radio (that helps to some extent- but they don't play THIS). It's weird how a band or a song can be critically quite popular and yet seemingly forgotten a few years later. I could spend all day saying, "What happened to... ?" But, at least we have YouTube to revisit and rediscover these gems.
Pete was one of a kind
Rest in peace ♡
Echoes of Suicide Blonde (INXS).
I keep hearing "so squeeze the bee, bumhole"
These guys are the best!
Miami Vice brought me here. :)
exiting to see them.. today on the depot SLC Utah n.n
What a different drumstick
they are called brushes, used a lot in jazz just gives a softer sound :)
+lynne henegan nice :)
