I was 17, when my mom died, still miss her every day. Most people celebrate their 18th birthday, I did not and still regret that my mom never had a chance to meet her awesome grandchildren...

@kabes9288

God bless your mum

@NeverToSee

I heard the clean version on the radio a few days ago and recognized the tune. turns out my mother used to play me the explicit version when I was 2 or 3 whenever we were in the car 😂

@83eamonn

Ur mum sounds class ha ha

@kellylouisebrown4954

My mum did too

@kimmahon2872

My mam did too. I think the clean version looses something haha

Next time you see 'an old person' they could be running this or the Stones through their mind!

@douglasstocks9698

@@mustang90ism as Billy Connolly, famously said in his song a four letter word. It shouldn't be said in front of polite company. If you knew their pasts they've not only have they said it but done it as well

@loulou1356

My dad and me used to sing this in the car when I was a toddler (I wasn't allowed to say the fuck bit), I was later adopted and i found him when I was 20, we still listened to this song for the four wonderful years that I had him in my life again. Whenever I miss him i put this on and it makes me smile.

Stop it, you are making me feel old 😊

@Themortician123

In 1999 2000 (I was 5) I'd spend evenings and weekends in the pubs with my mum and shed always select this on the jukebox for me. This always reminds of those days were I was happy and blissfully unaware of her drinking problem that took her in the end. I feel for any of you having to watch your loved ones follow the same path.

@MrLomboard

As somone who's father is two years sober after 10 years of alcoholism I feel you mate, I'm sorry your mother couldn't leave that path

What A Classic Song one of my favourites from beautiful south. Love it

@TheMightyKinkle

Oh man! I had no idea this version existed!

@Jay_Kay666

I had no idea that "normal" version existed. Had to come here to make sure that I had not lived all my life with seriously missheard lyrics in my head.

@jessxoxo2453

My favourite childhood song ❤️

@Geralt1993

You look about 13, how can this be your favourite childhood song?

@dalekslay

What's the point in trying to start arguments...

@dalekslay

But, even if she is 13 - she'd be a child. Therefore, she's in her childhood and this song is her favourite - therefore it's her favourite childhood song.

@Geralt1993

+harrie rose the song came out in 1996, unless she has siblings older than 23 or her parents listened to it I doubt it'd be a song she remembers from her childhood

@robjones1965

What's with the ageism, Luke, even if the song came out in 1966, it may still have been played in her house when she was a child.

@b0atdrinks

always loved this song!!

@jaggass

The Beautiful South did really well going through 3 female lead singers during their time as a band without ruining their reputation.They probably avoided that due to the songs being so good and having good singers as well. A new lead singer makes or breaks the band.

@kalebind1

I can to a certain extent relate to this statement, since it depicts reality of so many bands, whether still active or already fallen apart

@ap1463

Yea don't forget the group he had before, he has got talent. Housemartyns wasn't it ?

@jsybaz100

There were also songs with just the guys, the best being 'Song for Whoever'. The less said about 36D the better!

@jaggass

That's why Brianna Corrigan left.

@shanebyrne6840

I've known about the explicit version since the song came out many years ago it was on the cd released when it came out

@westmannia5842

Indeed. Blue is the colour was the album and anyone knowing about this version since 20-years would be either a geordie , yank or a mick...

@rachelsmith1728

Definitely still cool 2019

@davecommentator

My mum had the album with this on when I was a kid, and I always used to wonder why she'd sing along loudly to only this one song when it was playing in her car!

@liamoconnor5759

Absolute classic

@garyjonathan9931

I like the way she sings ''fuck'so serenely as if it is not a swearword

@MrMortull

Because she earnestly, genuinely and affectionately MEANS it, is why. :)

I'm sure I heard the explict version first, and was kinda let down by the "clean" version I heard later. It was on MTV - but to have heard the explicit version it must have been late at night that i heard it.

...being fair to you, the sentiment doesn't really change if you mishear it that way! Just a touch less spicy.

I've known for decades about this edit (for the album only, I'm guessing) but I never realised it had its own video! Watching a young Charles and Diana with "don't marry her" playing over it was a big internal OOF...

Bit weird with Andrew appearing as well

@annmoles3584

They played this version on the radio soon after its release and the DJ didn't realise it was explicit. There were complaints naturally
