Yello - 3rd Of June Lyrics

what a fucking bass, wow.

Listening on this day.....29 October 2019! Enjoying from Christchurch, New Zealand.

What an amazing song!!! But after all these years I still cannot figure out what is the meaning of the song...Were they singing about a banker perhaps also a lone wolf at Wall Street?
Anyway incredible dark song as well the whole album Flag with the some classics... The Race,Otto di Catania,Of course I’m lying

Happy 3rd June 2019 everyone wishing you health and peace ✌🏻

Lucy144258 loved these musicians forever. Thanks for appreciating Lucy

End of game! Happy third of June everyone :)

Happy 3rd June! :)

31 years on....it's still the third of June......still sounds as good now as it did then.

Happy 3rd of June AGAIN!

that's today!

Tis this day in 2019

The great Yello. They have more talent than every top 40 act of today and the last 10 years combined.

Мужикам уважуха! Какой год не возьми везде кирпич. Ещё есть порох в пороховница.

This super track is played every in celebration of my missus and myself met , started dating . We got married 5 yrs later on 3 rd June . We've been together ever since - almost 25 years.

When I first heard this song the 3rd Of June 1988 was in the future

This is the best YELLO song. Thanks.

Yello has no best song.... IMHO, The Yelloness makes all there songs diamonds.

Who is Lenny?

Stop!!!!!! @#🍒 👙 ¿

Today is the 3rd of June 2018... 30 years on... #Yello

30th anniversary of that highly unimportant day!

30 years today! Wow!

Happy 3rd of June to all Yello fans!
And a big congratulations to Yello's 30th anniversary with the album "Flag" from 1988!

I bought this on cassette tape when it was new and played it over and over again on my boom box.

It's now 3rd of June 2018. Mr. Toomy shouted his message to the world exactly 30 years ago.

happy birthday to me!

What better day to enjoy this track, as it is also my late brothers BIRTHDAY and brings so many fond memories, and he loved this band and this track.
Happy birthday our kid

Good to see so many Yello fans still active. I have made sure my kids aware their music too so pass down generations :-)

Kavinsky was definitely inspired by this.

It's that day again. 30 years after Flag came out - I was 16 and wanted to make music just like Yello. Some things don't change.

sounds unbelievably modern still ... these guys did something remarkable.

One of my ALL TIME FAVS from this FANTASTIC, ICONIC group. 👍👌

Always a highly important day!

And what better day to enjoy it than today?

что же случилось 3 июня 1988 ???

Mr. Toomy stopped his pinstripe suit outside a barber shop
Looked at his face
Took off his jacket
Put it on the pavement
Stepped on it
And started preaching like a monk from another world
After some minutes, he had a little crowd
Which disappeared when a police car passed by slowly
Like rolling gloom
And Mr. Toomy throws his voice 'til he was the only one in the area
At this early night of June third, nineteen eighty eight

@detonator2112 I have been singing this wrong for at least  25 years, I thought the police car passed by slowly
Like rolling blue

@bledfrogs Hehe... I heard those lyrics wrong too... until I found these on the Net. This song is one of the most underrated masterpieces ever. I don't know what the lyrics are about... do you? Some kind of post nuclear war situation or what? PS: I've went through Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Rush, King Crimson and all that best classic rock & prog stuff but very few songs have made the same impact as this one. Gives me fucking chills.

I'm out 2 for 2 I thought it was about black Monday  but that was 1987 Hmm im starting to question my  reality

Pioneers; fuckin awesome....

awesome

CLASS!!

FUCK YER !!!! BEST EVA !!!   YEA

I also play this on each 3rd of June. Have done since release.
The ex wife and I make a point of reminding each other of the date when it rolls round every year, she normally sends the text before I manage to even get up though.

kraut-pop?? ignorant!!!!

yeah, I know. It's just my personal definition of their music. Forget about it.. ;-)

kraut-pop! fundamental release!

Be neat if someone could create a video to this track.

Well, you know now - LooL!
More?... this song is in my *all time top ten*!
Oh, and my Uncle Peter just happened to be born on 3rd of June as well :0)

3d of June 2012..i highly unimportant day..

Really proud that I was born on 3rd June!! Another sleep dusky delta day!

Did You Know?...
I have played this on 3rd June every year since 1991.
Even my house number is 3 because of this ! !

Nothing to do with 1 and 5 being either side then

thanks to my friend P..she reminded me of this song tonight, Aug20-2011...and we used to listen to it on acid...in the 80´s...amazing woman...you would kill to know her

@ArchangelVovan And the reality is ?

Predicts the WTC attacks would occur on June 3.

"Some airplane flies into a cloud over lower manhatten". (how the message will be delivered.. eg he won't need his work jacket any more, as his work place will be destroyed. )

"started preaching like a monk from another planet" . (june 3 has a *meaning* to deliver.)

"give ME a NAME ! " << who is my/ your controller ? Is it ? Bashir ? Hussein ? The Ayotollah ? Syria ? . Hezbollah ? Who is your controller ?? I need to know....

LeonG My birthday is June 3rd and my wife's is September 11th! And they are exactly 100 days apart!

Damit bin ich aufgewachsen
Danke yellow

so where I lost my dream?

Bloody hell!! I'm back to the late 80's.. Love this tune!!!
