Covers can be terrible. This is absolute brilliance. It adds something new to the original.
Top song, I met him once and chatted in a pub near the studio I worked in, we got to the pub at opening 11am and he had already polished off 8 cans of Stella in the studio, I fancy he did well to last so long, my abiding memory is he just treated me like anyone else and he was a very funny bloke, proper down to earth.
I've heard the same. Lucky you, what a memory.
Wow that’s a real great story. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thanks to The Kinks and The Fall, i loved both versions.
RIP Mark E. Smith, a true pioneer and unwavering genius of music!!
Mark Sutphin 😂😂😂😂😂😂 You have got to be joking! He had zero talent. 😂😂😂😂
@@jamesy1955 you stick to ariane grande mate, leave the genius' to the rest of us, okay?!
@@jamesy1955 bots don't have opinions
To feckin right
@@jamesy1955 you don't know shit, your probably into the spice girls
28 people have mistakenly selected the incorrect thumb, and are now amongst the new faces in hell.
I have a bad habit of singing this to every Victoria I've met. Great to see one of England's greatest wordsmiths paying homage to probably their greatest wordsmith.
If you had a daughter named Victoria, would you or she go looney 1st? BONUS ROUND: If you worked and lived in Victorian buildings traveling @ 400 kph, who is the Bus Driver? THUMBS UP.
I know a lady called Victoria, and, yes, I sent her this song!
it is rude not to
One of my favourite Fall albums. rest in peace you crazy genius, the world is a more boring place without you. BTW, whenever I pass Victoria station in London I humm this song. :)
Mark E. Smith- the funniest man in post-punk and alternative music. Love his book RENEGADE.

It's the motherland to some of us Americans. Please take care of it
Interviewed him back in the day. Delighted to know he was a fan of both Arthur Machen and Colin Wilson.

Top man. Missed terribly
The FALL were awesome, I wondered why this was 'trending'. Thanks for posting. RIP Mark.
Amazing video
Mark E Smith.. There'll never be another one. RIP
RIP Big Guy!
We lost a good one. RIP Mark 💔
Top drawer fun from The Fall.
VICTORIA !!!! class cover of a class song
super cool to hear the different sound effects running under the song... great vid, thx
The door creak did it for me at 1:21. Awesome.
Genius Class and Style 💝
A great cover !!
Such an adorable video. Brixie's in her corset, and Mark E.'s in his full regalia! Adorable song too; Mark E. Smith sounds like he's having even more fun singing it than Ray Davies did. It's a fun song. Next time Victoria Day rolls around, in B.C where I live, I'm gonna sing it.
Elizabeth Hann I always forget this is a monks cover. The owned it.
Me thinks Mark enjoyed Dave's riff quite a lot. R.I.P. Mark E. Smith.
Shows another side to the Fall. A great snub to their critics who said the Fall can only make that same old same. The Fall could do (and did do) anything they (Mark!) wanted to. 'Check the record. Check the guy's track record.' (Please tell me they've written that on Mark's headstone...)
I wonder are you Lizzy the Shropshire lovely lady Anyway she's a great beautiful lady 🎼🌼🌻
The Gruppe really pushed the boat out for this Video excellent TUNE, Rest In Peace MES you cranky old bas ✌️
this is beautiful
I still love this
Demais, amo esta música, já tocamos muuuito em nossa banda.
i so damned fuckin love this
I will. Fookin brilliant.
Cool cover 👌👌
The only music video to feature a Welsh Terrier
RIP big man
Perfect!
This little ditty was brought to you by the publishers of the Big Book of British Smiles.
🔥👍 Oh, I remember this song never knew the band name, But the music was what came, Hundreds of thousands of bands couldn't keep track,
All the best
RIP 💔
A rare instance where the cover is the definitive version of the song
What a cool video!
Victoreah! Victoreah !
RIP Mark E. Smith
So the part at 1:19 really reminds me of another song. I'm sure I'm not the only one that hears it.
yeahhhhh
VERYGOOD‼️
Rip Mark E Smith
RIP Mark, a one off, much love
Mark, steve, craig and simon were so beautiful in 1988
Yeahhhhh
RIP
That one sikh guy in the stands, that's me.
R.I.P.
Brix was so fit
RIP Mark
Gênio vc está vivo entre nós.victoria
World loses a legend.RIP Mr. Smith.
ZINCOVIX8754. Just heard myself, loved the Fall growing up
Yeah, Michael so sad.Currently plowing my way through the entire Fall Back Catalogue.No greater way to rejoice in his talent.Have a fall 2018 buddy.
he was a one of they broke the mould
R.I.P Mark E Smith :'(
Foi ruim, chamado de obsceno E os ricos foram tão má paços para os senhores gramados dourado, verde aldeia Vitória era minha rainha Victoria, Victoria, Victoria eu nasci, sorte minha Na terra que eu amo Embora eu sou pobre, eu sou livre Quando eu vou vou lutar Por esta terra que eu will morrer Deixe seu sol nunca se punha no Victoria, Victoria, Victoria Canadá para a Índia Austrália para Cornwall Cingapura para Hong Kong do Ocidente para o Oriente dos ricos para os pobres Victoria amei todos eles
2:07 this moment!!! so fucking love this sound!
Its even better on the kinks version personally, turns a good song into a great song
Just struck me; I should probably brush up on my architecture....Is the cake supposed to be in the form of the Crystal Palace? (which was to burn down in the 1930s)
Yep, built for the Great Exhibition of 1851, seen as the height of Victoria's reign.
Brix has never looked better.
When I saw them live, I thought see looked really hot on stage.
The most patriotic British song since Rule Britannia or God Save the Queen. As an "Merican, love you guys, you were (are) an awesome parent.
rip
I like this way better than the original
RIP Mark.
I wonder how Brix talked Mark into these things.
i wonder if Mark E Smith has ever met Ray Davies? if so, i'd love to be a fly on the wall in that meeting.
tsartodd It wouldn't have been pretty. No meeting with MES is pretty, and that's the way he likes it.
I wonder no more -- if they haven't met already, they won't ever meet. Not in this life anyway. RIP Mark E. ;_;
Mark .E Smith is one from reason because i love England,and their music
Vlade Divac is the Reason because i love Srbija !
Love it, but was always disappointed he didn't do it in full MES style: "Victori-ah was my queen-ah, victoooorrriii-ah"
rip mark.
L
Revolutionary Guard we are for Mark ✊
Shout out to kip from carbones !!!
I LOVE THIS. Stupid xxxx
This should be the real National anthem
Rip died so young
Thanks to Ray Davies.
Who did what first PIL with Rise or Mark with Victoria?
Rise was 1986, this was from 1988.
🇦🇺 Like a lot of Australians who are descendants of Queen Vic's colonial subjects we are very familiar with a lot of Brits being patronising and condescending towards us. It usually doesnt go down well. It usually goes down very badly. I love this band and have done since the late 70s. I somehow got backstage after a gig when they were touring Extricate. I spoke with MES who came on like just another arrogant, patronising and condescending Brit. Like a lot of us down here, especially those of us of paddy stock like me, I dont appreciate Brits speaking to me like I'm some kinda dumbf...k colonial subject which is what MES did.I didnt try to hide my unhappiness. We exchanged a few heated words and then he walked off mid sentence. Maybe he sensed I was about to tell him f...k you you pommy c...t and then put him on his arse, the weedy b...d. I still love the band though so im still spinnin them. Weird hey?
MES a genius Brix too cute
Why is this tending? Did some stupid TV show use this song recently?.... scrolled down. Read comments. Became very sad. RIP
Tending?
@@DrewMurray1874 trending
Why is mark chewing gum in every video they have
Because he's a fucking g deal with it!
Be Best. And they were.
I was listening to this just before I found out :(
It's the Fall of Mark. Our thoughts and prayers goes out to Victoria. Mark was such a little guy and great looking boy he was. The Fall of Mark E. Smith.
LOL @ the Sikh guy who shows up a few times to wave a British flag.
That man knows how to wear a stock.
Is this a very rare cover version?
Farewell to the Pub Philosopher
2:09 haha i thought this would make a great photo for my would be mantlepiece,
The thumbnail xd
The Fall played a gig in Sydney in the late 80's at a Sylvania Hotel where they didn't play any of their well known popular songs. The crowd were not happy and the Band couldn't care less about it. It was probably meant to be some kind of Punk attitude. Personally, I think it is extremely rude and arrogant of the Band. Mark E. Smith was probably making a point. " Oh, if you'd bought our albums then you'd know the songs we played tonight" He was right, I only bought a few Singles. When was Mark E. Smith not right? Probably never. I'm fairly certain that he and I shared the same political views.
Mark never played the old songs at gigs, just whatever was on the new album at the time. That's where his creative energy was focused in that point in time.There are many artists who happily make a living flogging their old carpet. Mark wasn't one of them.
I saw them that tour at the Family Inn in Rydalmere. Loved the show. I guess I knew the songs
🇦🇺 I saw them touring Extricate in Canberra at the ANU Refectory in '90. Great gig. The only bad thing that happened was I somehow got backstage and met MES. He was one of the most arrogant, patronising and condescending people I've ever met. I did not like being spoken to like I was some dumb.. k colonial. I was unhappy and didn't try to hide it. We had a few heated words then he walked off mid sentence. Maybe he sensed I was about to tell him f...k you you pommy c...t and then put him on his arse, the weedy b...d. I still love the band though. Weird hey?
