Yes, YABU as it it is not the greatest song of all time. It's not even the greatest song of May 1988 not when THIS...

AND THIS...

were released then.

However, feel free to declare it as your favourite song of all time, if it is

This is my favourite Roachford song.

I saw him 3-4 years ago , he was great!

I love this song!!!

HangTheJib · 11/11/2023 12:34

This song came out when I was about 9 and just starting to really get into music. So I'm fond of it and think it is a good little tune. Great soul/rock mash up. Love the guitar sound.

Not the best song of all time though.

CousinGreg55 · 11/11/2023 12:34

Can't listen to it without imagining Alan Partridge singing it

TossieFleacake · 11/11/2023 12:35

It will always be Alan to me, I have to do his actions when I sing along.

Me too 😂😂

It's a great song. Stands the test of time. GOAT 🐐 though? No way.

LlynTegid · 11/11/2023 12:46

Given my heritage, you know there are many from the land of song that are better. Yma O Hyd for starters.

I'd forgotten all about this song!

Just had a listen on youtube

grafittiartist · 11/11/2023 12:59

Fabulous song!!
In the car- loud!

QueenBitch666 · 11/11/2023 20:36

Bloody wonderful song! And Andrew Roachford is amazing live! 😍

BCBird · 11/11/2023 20:38

It is a good song

MarmitePizza · 11/11/2023 20:43

Oh god - I absolutely love it and always have. It’s on my playlist that I do exercise to as well!

Pewpewbarneymcgrew · 11/11/2023 20:43

The best song of 88 was Salt n pepa ‘push it’ and if anyone disagrees I’ll fight them round the back of the shops

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 11/11/2023 20:52

It’s actually Yes by Andrew Roachford and Bernard Butler because of the multiple genius level

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 11/11/2023 20:55

Except that was David McAlmont

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 11/11/2023 20:55

And I’m distracted by Wine and MAFS

StoorieHoose · 11/11/2023 20:58

@BathshebaKnickerStickers is correct. Yes by McAlmont and Butler is the best song of all time

Bartlebum · 11/11/2023 20:59

Seen him 4 times, he's amazing live! YANBU but he also has sooo many amazing songs and such a perfect love performer! Watch the live performance of one of his new songs "Love Remedy" he has a Whitney Houston quality to his voice. I'm off to book tickets for December now.
