Underworld - Born Slippy

Newly recovered heroin addict haven't touched it since January and I couldn't be happier I chose life. Still miss that feeling though even now x

God, that opening 30 seconds is like a time warp back to the 90's... If you lived through that time, you can listen to those 30 seconds and remember where you were that beautiful summer, when nothing mattered, and everyday lasted forever and blended into the next..... what a time that was.

I miss those times when there was no filming in clubs. Only pure music and you alone in the middle of hundreds of people dancing to the music. I loved this feeling of freedom so much. Greetings from Berlin.

Was at tribal gathering when CARL COX DROPPED THIS !!! and the whole place went MENTAL.... was like yesterday.... never forget that as long as im alive... EPIC !

I’m a old man of 73 and I love this tune

Every year on this day I listen to this song. It is the day my friend died from an overdose in 1997. This was the last song we heard together. The emotion that day will never be forgotten.

I spent my July 97. in England and in Manchester Virgin store I bought my first CD ever, Trainspotting soundtrack. I was 17. And now you ask me what I feel when I bump into this tune with 43 on my back? I feel like bursting into tears, that's what I feel. And when I try to explain to youngsters that 20s are the best yet shortest decade that will never return I see they just don't understand my language.

Who's back here in '24?

This was my dad’s favourite song ever, always on in the car, on the radio, computer everywhere. It’s been a year and a half now since he passed and since listening to this song, but I’m so proud that he wanted this song to see him off, love you dad.

I can't explain this tune but it gives me "THAT" feeling

This song transcends time and space. Transports me back to 1996 fresh out of college and choosing life. It never gets old or dated. I could and have listened to it on repeat for a weekend. Rarely does a song of this length (except ones by The Cure) sustain their appeal, energy and focus.

I remember watching this as a kid realising my dad had the same problem they did watching them go through what they did in the film scared me for the rest of my childhood years but my dad got clean he chose life his kids his grandkids I love him so much so much respect for that man 💙

This song is for anyone that chooses life, the opening chords are like finally seeing light at the end of a dark tunnel.

So much nostalgia, time goes so fast it’s unbelievable 😢

The 90s in one song. Breath taking!

If anybody watches trainspotting, the scene when begbie brings Renton down for a cig. This song kicks in as the smoke hits Rentons face. Brilliant film , direction n soundtrack. Say no more 👍

Does anyone else get a lump in the throat with the intro of this song? It's unbearable and beautiful and I can't believe the deep emotions this song brings.

That intro is ethereal. Easily the best film of the last 20 years.

One of the best tunes of 90’s. Amazing piece of work.

RIP to those than never survived the 90's 😢

This is to be played at my funeral or I'm not going.

"Clearing the gutters, getting by, looking ahead, till the day you die." One of the greatest film endings of all time.

I use this intro for my morning alarm. It helps me wake up because of an intense coctail of emotions this tune brings to my mind.

the lyrics may not make sense but this song is absolutely beautiful. You can listen to it if you're sad, happy or absolutely bladdered. Will never ever get old.. thank you underworld for this masterpiece of a tune 🙌 ps. Choose Life always x

When I hear this song, my life passes before my eyes. The great 90s, I love that decade forever and I hope we can all have a carefree party again someday.

"But Begbie, I couldn't give a shit about him. And Sick Boy, well, he'd have done the same to me if only he'd have thought of it first. And Spud, well, okay, I felt sorry for Spud -- he never hurt anybody."

Saw Paul Van Dyk close a 3+ hour set with this at Guvernment in Toronto in Feb. 2001. Still the best set I've ever seen live.

20 years ago today (it was father's day, mind you) my dad became no more. This song reminds me of a better time, watching great movies like this on the couch with my brother, mother, and of course him. Fuck I miss those times. Where the hell did 2 decades go? Blink of an eye. Miss you dad.

Listening to this as I approach my 42 birthday tomorrow. My little brother overdosed on Sept 1, 37 years old, after 5 months of coming off of heroin and being clean. He thought he could handle fentanyl and he couldn’t. Please remember when you get clean - you can’t ever go back. Only forward.

Missing the 90's like a long lost friend.

One of the anthems of my youth. And it only gets better with time. Absolute CLASSIC.

Saw this live with my Dad in Detroit at movement 2023, so glad to be alive and off what almost consumed us. Was magic that night.

age 14 listenin to UNDERWORLD - BORN SLIPPY age 31 listening to UNDERWORLD - BORN SLIPPY Tunes dont get old, they get better with age

"The truth is that I'm a bad person. But, that's gonna change - I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life."

im sober for years now and this is the tune i crank to get lifted 🫡🖤love it forever

Drive boy dog boy Dirty numb angel boy In the doorway boy She was a lipstick boy She was a beautiful boy And tears boy And all in your innerspace boy You had hands girl boy and steel boy You had chemicals boy I've grown so close to you Boy and you just groan boy She said comeover comeover She smiled at you boy. Drive boy dog boy Dirty numb angel boy In the doorway boy She was a lipstick boy She was a beautiful boy And tears boy And all in your innerspace boy You had hands girl boy and steel boy You had chemicals boy I've grown so close to you Boy and you just groan boy She said comeover comeover She smiled at you boy. Let your feelings slip boy But never your mask boy Random blonde bio high density rhythm Blonde boy blonde country blonde high density You are my drug boy You're real boy Speak to me and boy dog Dirty numb cracking boy You get wet boy Big big time boy Acid bear boy Babes and babes and babes and babes and babes And remembering nothing boy You like my tin horn boy and get Wet like an angel Derail You got a velvet mouth You're so succulent and beautiful Shimmering and dirty Wonderful and hot times On your telephone line And god and everything On your telephone And in walk an angel And look at me your mum Squatting pissed in a tube- hole at Tottenham Court Road I just come out of the ship Talking to the most Blonde I ever met Shouting Lager lager lager lager Shouting Lager lager lager lager Shouting... Lager lager lager Shouting Mega mega white thing Mega mega white thing Mega mega white thing Mega mega Shouting lager lager lager lager Mega mega white thing Mega mega white thing So many things to see and do In the tube hole true Blonde going back to Romford Mega mega mega going back to Romford Hi mom are you having fun And now are you on your way To a new tension headache

the best scene in T2 Trainspotting is when they are running on the streets, and Even McGergor(Renton) thinks back when they were teenagers, running exactly at the same part of the street, and then this song is being played...I literally got goosebumps at that scene...

20 years later and it still gives me the feels..

This is one of those tunes I can belt out of my speakers as loud as I can... fantastic. If you listen to all of the instruments it's absolute genius...and that drum beat at 1.38 sends shivers down me. Then the drum beat changes at 2.24 where there are about six or seven beats per second. Love it. Love and miss the 90s!

73 but this still make me want to get up and dance never get old stay young in spirit and heart

Has a song ever captured the spirit of a movie more than this? Utter perfection.

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

It’s not just a music it’s the whole life, your youth in 4 minutes. It’s not just your memories. It’s a masterpiece that makes you just happy wherever you are

This song gives me such powerful flashbacks to the 90s. Just sad that no other decade I will see in my lifetime will even slightly compare to the 90s. I'm just glad I was there

"I can't die here! I have a right to be happy!" -Donatello Versus

I'm in my 30's, hadn't watched this film since it came out in the 90's, I watched it again last night, what a fucking master piece! I recommend anyone who hasn't seen it for a while to give it a re-run, you won't regret it.

an unearthed classic~

I love this movie. Its a classic that never gets old. I grew up watching some amazing films

This song is so good it motivates me to dig up past memories the earth has experienced

Why is it I cry every time I hear this? So many good memories of people, places and experiences...love it sooo much. Sounds like it was made yesterday.

People say: What happened: you were always there and then you were gone? When did you get here? How is it that I didn't see you? Where were you? And I smile sweetly, gently and then think or say, "I was born slippery." Thank you, sean7000 for keeping this anthem alive!

You know this is going back in the charts when T2 gets released.

I'm lucky that I lived the 90s as a teenager. Best years of my life, best music ever.

Those were the days bring em bk 💃😁

This song is such a pure adrenaline and I just want hit the dance floor and dance dance dance and forget all the rest, life is too short man let's just live and enjoy it while we can😊

Trainspotting is such a classic film. People will still be studying it in 100 years time I guarantee it.

A child of the 90s and 2000s EDM scene and raves, I drenched myself in this stuff. Judge me all you want, but deep EDM is like classical music to me with a massive beat and meaning. My eye's looking like dinner plates (hmmm, guess why), deep philosophic and yet primal reaction to this insane music. I have never ever been in a group of people so gorgeous than those time with my EDM circle of friends some of whom were DJs and they were my dearest friends. Yeah ok, have a crack at me but you're never gonna take away from me those amazing moments, big name DJs, at least 16 mates on the town seeing the best DJs of the time and everyone is in such a great place. No violence, no crap, pure enjoyment with really smart music with a message and a shake your arse off attitude. Why not?

A time long gone but never forgotten. The era that makes me so nostalgic it almost cripples my hope of a better world.

Never did hard drugs before. I think watching this in the 90’s as a teen is what kept me away! Thank you Trainspotting!! I still have my old CD soundtrack too!

I was at a festival in the uk last summer. We were right at the front for the previous set but were talking about leaving to get drinks soon when a 40-something-banker-type guy turns around and says in a gravelly voice “you’re not going to want to miss this one.” I had no idea how right he was until the first few chords of this song blast out into the crowd and we’re blinded by lazer beams. A tidal wave of memories hit me like a brick wall from when I was too young to be watching trainspotting and letting it envelop me and my life. It was a feeling that could not be replicated. Ever.

I'm 67 and this just blows me away. Best track ever.

acabo de ver la película Trainspotting y lo primero que hice cuando termino, fue agarrar el celular y buscar esta joya. He estado en depresión y tmb he usado drogas y aunque esa etapa de mi vida ya quedó atrás, todavía recuerdo como me sentía en esos dias cuando me encerraba en mi cuarto y lloraba de la impotencia. Esta canción me lleva a esos mementos y se siente bien al saber que pude salir de eso y ahora soy una persona “normal” con trabajo casa metas y una mascota que mantener.

To my fellow strugglers , put the pins and foil down .. Life is beutiful but we never forget or go back.. You got this 💙🙏💙

This song is the spirit of the 90's

we lived a magical era ... and I believe it will never return

Sat listening to this with my twin 4 year olds and my 7 year old. This song WILL be remembered by the next generation!!!

This generation will never appreciate the feeling we felt when in a club and this came on EPIC!!

This song feels like a punch to my gut. Something about it leaves me breathless. Makes me 21 again.

Although I wasn’t born until 95, this song brings back nostalgia for me. My parents had me at the time this was filmed, split soon after and my mum passed away in 06. So I feel connected to their youth through this film and music. I never knew my dad until 2016 when I was 21 and a few months later we went to the cinema to watch Trainspotting as it is his favourite film (I’d never heard of it) and then a few days later T2 came out so we watched that as well. We haven’t spoken for a few years now sadly us being close was short lived but Trainspotting is now one of my favourite films and whenever I watch it I feel very emotional and nostalgic❤️

I too want to choose life… Thank you for this.

It ought to be a capital offense for KZhead to drop an ad in the middle of this classic.

I love British music, British people make awesome music, my respects greetings from México

Last year I watched Trainspotting 1 and 2 with my parents. I had never seen Trainspotting but they had both watched it back when it came out in the 90's, they were around 20 years old back then. A couple days after watching the first Trainspotting we went to watch T2 Trainspotting and as we watched it I realized that the movie was about aging and growing older. Knowing this while sitting there with my parents who were then in their late 40's, I don't know, I just get very emotional when I hear that melody at the start of this song.

The best music I’ve ever heard. Please rest me in peace to this song.

My stepdad just passed away and this was one of the songs he loved to listen to

Brings me back to the 90's. Seattle to London and back a few times: cool girls, great music, and far too many drugs, but this was life for those of us drinking deeply in those days. This book and subsequent film managemed to capture that zeitgeist perfectly.

This track drives and there’s no bass! It’s a stripped back beast with pads that take you to another dimension. The vocals present a concept of a movie besides trainspotting. Absolutely class act, pure creativity here.

When this is used at the end of Trainspotting it's the perfect marriage of music, visuals and dialogue.

Just takes me back to my teenage years... time machine, masterpiece

man... i remember the first time i watched trainspotting, one of the most weird and most story rich films ever laid in front of my eyes. but being Scottish and watching the film just made me proud that a master piece was filmed here and was about the rough heroin addiction which was actually a serious back in the 90s along with alcohol abuse and extreme violence, i was raised around people exactly like this, everyone just wanted to have a good time and get drunk while blasting this sort of music, this movie for sure shaped Scotland and other places as well, let this music play on....

This song brings back nice memories... as long as they're buried underground.

I digged a hole and what came out was the 74’ Miami Dolphins and they trampled someone by accident.

This song was my personal soundtrack for my 20's and I love I can revisit those amazing memories every time I listen to this.

Underworld is my favourite Stand... in the entire series, full stop. It's one of those stands where you see it for a good chunk of time but it still feels like they barely even scratched the surface of everything that it's capable of.

Trainspotting, released exactly 24 years ago. The greatness

I lived in London in 1996. Oasis, The Spice Girls, Trainspotting, Beckham, Euro 96, it was a melting pot of hope and “Cool Britannia” that marked a transition from the Thatcher era, what a time to be a 19 year old in the capital.

Great song to go out in style to. I'm just saying, one of the best tracks EVER from my teenage years❤️

classic tune , brings back so many good memories ...... love the intro !

I’ll never forget my best friend’s wedding in the 1990s. He was marrying a girl I sorta kinda had a thing for in the ‘80s, and I was the driver of her limo. She asked me to put this song on to calm her nerves. So I cranked this one for as much as the limo stereo could take. It’s a moment I’ve never forgotten, and they’re still very happily married with three great kids. Still my best friends too

Danced to this song in an outdoor dance party during new years celebrations, still a great song for that.

Born in 88. Bit young for the raves but this bring me right back hearing it in my dads car on the way to school, or for a meal. Good times.

Millennials, please don't get offended by people reminiscing and feeling nostalgic while listening to this. This movie captured the essence of a era and a generation. This was before social media and the directors understood that what they were filming, was timeless. This movie connects with so many people because it is about core relationships, and transitioning to adulthood. Life before... Facebook.

I can remember the time when I first heard that song in 1995. I was playing games on my pc (X-Wing, to be precise), and contrary to my habit to have the game sound on my stereo, I had tuned into some radio station instead. I can't remember why I did that, but it must've been a sign from the universe. Imagine this 14-years-old kiddie, playing some sim game with his joystick and listening to Born Slippy at around 11pm in the evening. It was a remarkable experience I'll never forget.

14 years it took me but I have discovered this little gem at last. What a delightful song.

Never ever gets old ❤

1996 was a good year

Whos banging with this in Quarantine? cheers from Argentina, stay stronge World !

oh to experience the 90s. im a 00s kid, but trainspotting is my favourite film for so many reasons. its the most disgustingly beautiful masterpiece in cinema, in my opinion, and i feel like this song just ties everything all together

An Anthem of a Generation!! 90s Electronica At It's Finest!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯

I just defeated my addiction which was caused by trauma. And I find this song. Tears of happiness are just puoring. Love movie and love this song.
