This is a massive digression from The Streets, but check out Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks 👍

James

Please do another streets reaction

Davey J

Mike's reaction to the Aerosmith comment cracked me up 😂

Dean Wintrip

Please react to Blinded by the Lights next!

DJ Dan Adams

OMG this tune came out when I just split from an Ex....... Yeah ....... this tune messed me up! Relatable isnt the word!

Rob Green

Original Pirate material is one of the best albums ever made.

Col Boro

Amazing

Dave Henshall

First time I’ve seen the video to this song. Framing and composition to those camera shots are beautiful

Demceez

I don't like The Streets and really like them at the same time its a weird for me. I'm a true hip-hop fan so I really hate the awful rapping he does say compared to genius rappers like Chester P, Ramson Badbonez and Smellington Piff. But at the same time, the streets always deliver really good tunes

My all time favourite Karaoke song, i absolutely love it, few people ever knew what the hell it was lol

There first album was there best origanl pirate material from then there was only a few decent tunes. Skinner done some decent colabs with the Mitchell brothers and kano.

THAT BALD ESSEX BLOKE

Blinded by the lights is another absolute classic

DDDPPP

The Streets = Mike Skinner, who wrote the soundtrack to the first Inbetweeners movie, writing classics such as "No Problemo" and "Pussy Patrol" (not a joke).

Nicola

Jess, my nieces are really into k pop demon hunters atm and I agree that the soundtrack is actually quite good! 🙈

Danny Heywood

Most Streets songs are happy and upbeat; they are just a bunch of Stoners that started on Pirate Radio.

Simon Chamberlain

Fit but you know it remix would be interesting to see the reaction!

Si

Kinell, alright, not the NME. Good album, wannit 😎

Fred bates

What days of the week are the different shows

stu

Never went to church next

Jason

Or they're astounded that this tripe beat the Beatles, let alone the other options... Okay, he wrote nice words, but he can't sing, rap, and the chorus is appalling. If he was truly a great, he wouldn't have disappeared into obscurity so quickly

Charlie

A Grand Don't Come For Free kind of tapped into the zeitgeist of post-millennium, pre-recession Britain, where the nineties afterglow/hangover had gone. The subject matter is mundane, the lyrics are intentionally inarticulate and the vocals slightly dissonant, all the samples came off a royalty-free sample CD, everything feels a bit uneasy; the whole record is the sound of post-cool Britannia where all the swagger and carefree innocence had finally dissipated and been replaced with a kind of malaise. It was to pop music what The Office and Peep Show were to comedy around the same era.

I remember this song clearly. I was going through a break up at the time and my heart was broken. Since then though i have been with my partner for 23 years, have a nice home, good job and 2 beautiful children. Like the song says, Plenty more fish in the sea.

Daniel Cooper-O'Reilly

RegenerationNationTV just reacted my suggestion. I knew we were best friends!

Charlie Kemp

The album this is from is still one of my all time favourites, absolute masterpiece.

Duncan

Agreed. That album (A Grand Don’t Come For Free) hits almost as hard as Music For The Jilted Generation. But not quite as hard 🙂👍🏻

Karlos

Weirdly he's a family friend of ours. Mad watching him blow up.

Karlos

A Grand Don't Come For Free is a great storytelling album. The Streets have some much better songs than this, this is one of the few sad ones. Turn The Page is probably my favourite Streets song. Mike is like an urban poet. They have a few silly songs too (which they usually release as the singles).

Mark Rudd

Seriously though this is a concept album I believe where you totally have to play the full album in order and all the songs lead on and pick up from other parts. Lights are blinding my eyes , is another song from these which many of us related to

Mark Rudd

Can you react to Sam fender , seventeen going under

Mark Rudd

Still hits hard as it did. I think every teenage boy played this after a breakup. I know I did many times 😭

kris1976melo

Need to react to Jcb song by Nizlopi...

Kaye G

Takes me back to being a hormonal teenager with lots of feels 😭😂

RegenerationNationTV

Why are they uploading none full versions of their songs to their own YouTube channel and calling it the officla music video? It didn't say official music video, but it's missing a verse! I'm fumin 😡

Jay

Such a great song. Never expected the negative comments on this one to be honest, but I guess some people like to make everyone else miserable, by shouting how much they hate things.

William Stewart

Does that one resonate with you from personal experience lol

Tim

I never really enjoyed The Streets - though Blinded by the Lights was an incredible tune.

BrizeeB

Yea, not their best, worse than I remember.

Julian

Who else votes for doing the rest of the songs on last weeks poll? That covers the next few weeks.

Dango247

More streets

James Welsh

The Streets became huge in the UK partly because he was a push back on the manufactered pop music that was everywhere at the time, his unconventional and unpolished style was like a breath of fresh air. Its a shame you didnt listen to "has it come to this" (original pirate material) first as it would give you a much better understanding how he blew up in the first place.

Tony Bremner

Blinded by the lights my fave,i saw them at reading festival years ago had the crowd going nuts had the crowd doing allsorts..

Megatron

This is one of 11 songs from the album 'A Grand Don't Come For Free'. If you listen to the songs in order they tell a story. It's beautiful.

SpayMe

Because people have opinions on things and have every right to give said opinions..

Jamie

I was well up for the reaction and then I see the weird negativity in the comments and it puts me off. Why do people do this?

Brad Johnson

I understand not being into them but people seem to actively hate them 🤷

Andy

I did like some of The Streets, Original Pirate Material takes me back. Happened to see them live at T in The Park too. I was never a fan of this particular song though - but I do think it's representative of their work. As in the topics are style, but this one maybe isn't the best introduction to sell them. I haven't listened to them in donkey's years though.

Alex Miller

loving all the crying in the comments. also never heard this version either

William Stewart

Well technically you might of reacted to Mike Skinner the singer before as he wrote a lot of the music for the inbetweeners movie.

Andy Oliver

I guess this is the "Radio" edit or, maybe, the Top of The Pops family friendly version. Yes, I agree, the sudden tip into anger in that verse makes it even more real

Jeffrey44

Skinny Mike and the rest of The Streets. Great bunch of guys. I used to be a friend of a friend of the reserve drummer in the '70s. All gone now of course. RIP. I remember this video sparking a debate at the time, should dogs be allowed in cinemas (or should K9s be allowed in movie theaters as an American would say). Obvious to say now, of course they shouldn't, dirty disease carrying animals. I look back at this video and I'm thankful that dogs were legally barred from cinemas in 2006. Good work The Streets

Freddie

Oof. Listening to stuff like this after a break up was rough as a teenager 😂 it was the cliche song the friend group would send each other 😬

Matthew O'Toole

There's a whole verse missing ?? Arguably the verse that makes this song.

Sam Carr

If you enjoyed this song you'd likely love the whole album it came from in your own time/off camera - 'A Grand Don't Come for Free'

Brucey Mitchell (Cheeky)

I fucking love the album this was taken from, will never understand those who didn't like The Streets. Great reaction as always guys. Give the album a listen to in your own time, you will love it. Have a blessed day :)
