Housemartins, The - Five Get Over Excited Lyrics

Same socialist crap even then, when you listen to it lefty scum

True story, Hugh went to prison for arson

Is it giro day Tom?

The last few seconds always scares me and I would get nightmares after seeing the end of this music video

Best thing Norman Cook ever did

Call me FiFi. Dare you...

This song has been through so many different journeys with me

This guy paul and dave could write about anything and make it relatable to so many of us

I’ll take this over today’s crap. Look, not a face tattoo among them! Lol

Totally agree, raw talent. They were brilliant. Today's society is full of freaks and an encouragement of lowering standards.

I have been singing this non-stop for the past 2 weeks, my friends are so sick of it but I’m not!

Coz I am LEO and I’m hilarious! 😀😂😂😂🤪😀

Feigning concern, a conservative pastime
Makes you feel doubtful right from the start
The expression she pulls is exactly like last time
You've got to conclude she just hasn't a heart

What a great sport Hugh is, must’ve been a strange experience on some level.

E incredibile i pooh l anno copiata piccola Katy!

Wasnt the reason Hugh Whittaker had to leave the band because he was arrested for trying to kill someone with an axe?????

arklowrockz No this supposedly happened in the mid-nineties. Though there’s some dispute as to what actually happened. The press got hold of it and got up to their usual tricks by the sounds of it.

The two star signs mentioned in this song are mine and my wife's lol.

Try being named Jeremy and having a little sister to constantly make fun of you with this song!

I’m crazy and Sagittarius and my crush is Leo (star sign not name) and hilarious...

My hair is curly
But I gel it down
:)

Timeless tune. ❤

Title Song - German Comedy TV Show SECHSERPACK

Catchy pop song !!

YEP...one of their best songs....my other favorites are OVER THERE, BUILD, Get up off your knees and WE're Not Deep and Bow Down and Happy Hour and Flag day

one of their best...along with ANXIOUS , HAPPY HOUR and BUILD and FLAG DAY

John Peel You should know, Mr. John Peel.. Massive respect to you sir. I miss your radio shows. R.I.P.

Isn't it nearly always the way? The GREAT ONES go unnoticed ,and the garbage, I will not name, names get all the plaudits???

Kingston upon Hull <3

This song pops into my head every day when I start work. Great fun!

YEP......awesome song

This video was a Jim Henson co-production! :):P

Listen to the "conservative pastime" bit of this song and then listen to "Jennifer Eccles" by the Hollies. They sound pretty similar to me.

"Fun, fun, fun" sound like "Love, Love, Love" in "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles.

Heatons so hot

fun fun fun

Yup, the new drummer being Dave Hemmingway, who then joined Paul Heaton in forming The Beautiful South.

wow look at fatboy slim

Ah man. Hadn't heard this song for years.. Takes me back to being a child. Started welling up!

when there on the go carts is that east park in hull...

I want a tomato Tom!

Long live Hugh

I am man from scandinavia!!!!!

The Housemartins - The beautiful cocoon that Fat Boy Slim emerged from.

Is it GIRO DAY?

just for you STifT, take a look at 048

putz... mt brega

East Park Hull FTW!!

The old drummer didnt want the fame i thought?

@adrialbati
It says (Wiki) it's was on amicable terms (has to be for him to be such a good sport in the creation of this video). I recall reading something years ago about him wanting to finish University ?
He later went on to become an Axe wielding fire bomber and did some time for it... no, i'm not joking.

Why did they replace the old drummer?

This song is brilliant. What a band The Housemartins were. Pure class, fantastic videos, and uplifting music - what more can one ask for?

Paul Heaton one of the best songwriter's EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! If these don't cheer you up ya fucked!

Really Really Great
Classical song and video:The replacement of the drummer...

Really Really Great
Classical song and video the replacement of the drummer...

paul heaton, the most underrated song writer this country has ever seen

TOP STUFF

One of the all time great British pop bands! Saw them live a few times and they were brilliant! Pop with a socialist conscience - bring it on!

SECHSERPACK

I was engaged to a lass fae Glasgow and I took the Belfast to Stranraer ferry every other wee to stay in wegieland ; the best memorys are a few pints of tennants and the Housemartins on the jukebox, wouldnt change it for the world, people would sit with me and buy me pints because I was a nimrod with huge spikey jet black hair, skin tight patched jeans studded jacket and tattooed to fuk, above all else I was selecting the Housemartins and Neil Young on the Jukey! LOL

great music
we need more this music now .
makes me remind when i was a teen.
thank you for your music

@tehfeenerer is it Giro day?

IT'S TIME FOR A REUNION TOUR....!

Class Band...........!!!!!!!!

@JuicyPiePoker

Chris Lang was the original drummer. I think you mean Hugh Whittaker. Whittaker left the band on amicable terms. In the mid 90's he petrol bombed his business partners home and went to jail for 5 years.

I'nt that fun!

But that was several years after he left the band. He left the band amicably.

fuckin love it:D:D:D

just so love The HouseMartins!

I heard he got done for arson.

London 0 Hull 4

hey Fatboy Slim--TOOLS DOWN! eh, Norman?

First 16 secs of this video with no sound looks sooo dodgy :/

THATCHER OUT!

I totally forgot how they had the new drummer get rid of the old drummer in this video. Classic!

fun song! really a memory of the 80s!

zentrifigul your a DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FANTASTIC song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Written as an insult to their brash oh so PC middle class southern fans I believe
