Belle and Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue 

Why, oh WHY is this song so goddamned perfect?!

Belle and Sebastian is the sound of my childhood and this will for ever be one of my favourite songs

Proof that you don't need to have a voice like Michael Jackson or Freddie Mercury to create an unbelievably great vocal melody. Every syllable is so perfectly entwined with the music. My favorite B&S song.

In high school, we had a performance we would do every year that was constructed of a lot of different scenes and TV shows that the students wanted to do themselves. The intro do this song was played everytime one scene Andes and a new one started, I can still hear the distant “SSSSHHHHHHH” before the song starts 😂

For some reason this song makes me smell cider and hear my friends sitting around drinking and having fun. It's a nice feeling

I’m 63 …this Bell and Sebastian are the only modern/pop music I enjoy….

i've been a belle head since '98 but i find this is the album i come back to again and again, the soul style melodies and upbeat pacing. i cant fight and say it's their best but it's my favorite

Only Belle & Sebastian song I know that features a cowbell. Among my favorite of their 90’s songs.

My boyfriend dumped me and this is my current source of happines. Thank you music.

No matter how bad a day/week/month I've had, B&S never fail to cheer me up!

I feel sort of exclusive knowing this great song :D

I heard this song playing when I worked at Carrabba's and I thought it was the weirdest song ever and now I'm totally in love with it. But this video.......that poor little dog......

The best of the decade Life's Pursuit

I love the sheer fun and silliness of this. Keeps me young.

Why am I feeling happy even with all the blues in my life now?

oh man never has laundry washing sounded this groovy

Just got the CD from Ebay today in the post. Yes, I can listen to songs here on RU-vid, but I wanted a clean set without lossy. So the question is why get a CD in this day and age. Well, this albun is special. For me to get a CD off Ebay is very rare. I know good craft and The Life Pursuit has it. It's nostalgic too. The songs could come out of mid-1970s am radio. They of course would be major hits had they been released then. A pinnacle of pop-music art. You don't get albums like this very often.

this song is so fucking amazing. there needs to be more like it.

I like that homage, nod, whatever to Question Mark & the Mysterians at the ending (96 Tears).

If Belle and Sebastian had come around in 1962, they would have been as big as the Beatles.

B & S go glam rock circa 1972 awesome!

Look at the kid from school He's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool He's changing fashion, the way he dress The tracksuits are old, and the hoody's way too moody For a kid with the will to funk He dances in secret; he's a part-time punk She's getting off the plane She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged The kids fighting up the lane Shop lifting, just drifting Like The Switchblade And The Cross But if there's trouble she's got the moves She's taking an elementary class in Kung fu I left my washing in the launderette You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet That when I see my washing The black will be grey and the white will be grey But the blues are still blue I'm crying out for my mum If the malady don't go away we're in a little trouble With the boss of the company I'm a singer, a swinger I'm a layabout but laying on The dock in the lazy sun Will never quite relegate me to a bum I left my lady in the launderette You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet That when I see my lady The black will be white and the white will be black But The Blues Are Still Blue Baby, I love your face I've been creeping round this town because… Well, creeping's just my way But with a little wink I'll be there I'll be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fade I know your young, but you're out of touch You're French, your vocabulary's not quite formed I left my homework in the launderette I got a letter from my mamma which my stoopid dog has ate I hid behind the fence Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog He's not making much sense I left my lady in the launderette You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet That when I see my lady The black will be white and the white will be black But the blues are still blue… I left my lady in the launderette You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet That when I see my lady The black will be white and the white will be black But the blues are still blue…

this song is making me so happy right now.

total agreement

Great song! Funny video! The Life's Pursuit is an awesome album, too.

This is a grower, Is that Nelly F spitting bars? ❤

@alllinedup good point man! haha, yeah I just thought it was random, but understanding circumstances puts it into perspective!

Si les gusta esta canción deben escuchar "Tus ojos mexicanos lindos" de Juan Gabriel. Son muy similares en su sonido. If you like this song, you have to hear "Tus ojos mexicanos lindos" from Juan Gabriel. They are similars in their sound.

quality indie music. i imagine this song in Gilmore Girs.

"Step Into My Office, Baby" is the song for you ;)

ce soir a Montréal!!!!

the blues will always be blue HEY

This laundromat would get shut down in an afternoon.

Childhood^

i laughed out loud, not until the lumberjack appeared and the pine needles were flying everywhere

This sounds so much like the Cars.

Remind me of j-horror where the loser main cast got his request by laundry evil but then he should fulfil the evil laundry request back or he will got a bad luck 😂

💙🌼

get up the mood =)

This a Mr. song of 2000's! Better than Harlem Shake, isn't it?

thumbs up if u couldnt wait to the end of this video to play "hard to explain".

Quienes son los 8 que le dieron "unlike"? - Belle and Sebastian :)

More than a little Kinks in there, too

3 people dont have the will to funk or dance in secret

I lost track of how many "wtf" came to my head while watching this video.

Is someone else thinking of Juilan Casablancas voice?

Who is the beautiful black-haired model gal in this? She is a stunner

are this a thing still?

alguien tiene la letra en español???

this sounds like a mucic from a 70s rom-com movie soundtrack.... pretty sick "...she wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged"

Does anyone know any songs similar to this one? Same style?

What about his 🐕 dog?

well look at the kid from school, he's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool ... for the kid with the will to funk, he dances in secret; he's a part-time punk

Ah, I get it: B&S doing Marc Bolan and T Tex…

came from a tweet

Does anyone know what song the synth in the background is from?

Stuart Bolan

Funny video. 🙂

@koldkilla777 It's either just not you, or it's boring. And it's not boring. So I guess it's just you!

@alllinedup do you even know what that means? it seems that you are just using it because you wanted to seem cool!

@koldkilla777 this isnt boring.

David Bowie influence all over this

I'm a part-time punk. :(

Wha... what am I watching?

What's the name of the hot, short haired skinny brunette @ 0:44? Anyone?

just wondering why nobody writes the ninja-dislikebar-story.

If that girl in Denim was my partner, I hardly would be paying any attention to the brunette with the weird hat. Honestly

Oh, yes. He was quite #scary I thought he was going to #kiss me and feed me to the poor. #got57 #imPRviouS

I got a letter from my mama which my stupid dog has et
