Ok this is a total lark. You know the way the internets made RATM the christmas number one. Well i ask the good people of boards.ie to make

No Sweat : Heart and Soul the Irish Christmas Number One

I solemny swear I have no allegiance to this band whatsoever

Judge for yourselves

Its just a great forgotten ROCK song

Never heard of it.

MonkeyTennis · 01-10-2010 10:57pm

yep its old. But great?

BluesBerry · 01-10-2010 10:57pm

Who now?

MagicMarker · 01-10-2010 11:00pm

Ya see, the fundamental difference between this song and the RATM song, is that the RATM song is good, and this song is a steaming pile of shít.

MonkeyTennis · 01-10-2010 11:02pm

yes, yes it is, does that worry you.

Cmon folks ... sense of humour time or are we all beyond hope?

Deus Ex Machina · 01-10-2010 11:04pm

Never does the struggle of life seem more Sisyphean than when people bring up Christmas 6,000 months too early.

MonkeyTennis · 01-10-2010 11:07pm

When I saw the song title, I thought of that song: "Heart and soul, I fell in love with you heart and soul, the way a fool would do maaaadly..."

Anyone else?

I'm so gay

Rush did a great live cover of Heart and Soul during their 30th anniversary tour.:cool:

MonkeyTennis · 01-10-2010 11:32pm

great memories on MTUSA. I know you kids are too young.

LeonD · 01-10-2010 11:32pm

different song Brummy, this is a mythical glam song from the late eighties and as one of a kind deserves to be reinstated as a Christmas number one

Donkey Oaty · 01-10-2010 11:33pm

I met No Sweat many years ago.

Great guys.

LeonD · 01-10-2010 11:35pm

met them after a gig as well many years back, sound guys unlike some of the bands back then who loved themselves

MonkeyTennis · 01-10-2010 11:36pm

as good as any of the best. I totally forgot about them until a friend sent me a link.

MonkeyTennis · 01-10-2010 11:42pm

hey man

the longest journey starts with a single step

Im dissappointed with your attitude. If it isnt popular you dont want in?

tsk ..

bazmaiden · 01-10-2010 11:43pm

production quality is poor bro

nice 80's style pinch harmonics

but that solo is laughable, just a EVH ripoff like most other hair metal bands of the 80's

also why is he playing a tele??

MonkeyTennis · 01-10-2010 11:47pm

jesus folks

Its from the eighties! Cool guitar player

LeonD · 01-10-2010 11:48pm

The lead singer was PJ Smith, solo now writing some class tunes but none as good as http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2enhf_no-sweat-heart-soul_music

Maybe he's the one guitarist who figured out how to use a tremolo bar on a guitar without a tremolo bar?

Napalm Death for christmas number one

THall04 · 02-10-2010 1:01am

I remember when these lads were the next big thing.....goin' to be bigger than U2!
Think Joe Elliot (from Def Leppard) was their manager.

Less than a week after they stole the show, in front of thousands, at a music awards ceremony in the Point Depot.....I seen 'em play a gig in the Bridge Hotel in Waterford.........thirty-eight people turned up.....the mosh pit was class;)

Their roadies outnumbered the crowd......in fairness to them they were a great band , but this was better than Spinal Tap.

After their set a Discho came on and the dance floor filled with a few hundred fat middle aged women on the look out for yungfellas (Grab a Granny night...)

The look of disgust from the Milli-Vanilli like guitarist was priceless.

Think they broke up soon after that.

THall04 · 02-10-2010 1:11am

And the video with the helicopter and the big trucks is better than the poxy one in the point

This 90's rock belongs in the 70's, why do you want to bring it into the tenzies?

jaffa20 · 02-10-2010 1:23am

Saw thread title, had hope, met with sh!te song.

Sentiment is good, Christmas number one should always be taken from the grasp of Simon Cowell and his minion of pop zombies but that song is not the one.

Personally I think we should champion

MonkeyTennis · 02-10-2010 9:22am

okok lets call a spade a spade. If you werent around when this song was first around you arent going to like it now.

The point ( if there is one) is that this is a slice of Irish 80s life thats long and granted maybe best forgotten. But in the times we are in..

02-10-2010 9:31am

Lads..
It has to be Tom Waits..
Christmas card from a hooker in Minneapolis..
It was tried a couple of years ago but only got to 27 or something..
Think i might start a facebook page..
