As an American youth of the Hughes era, I was knocked out by the film "Some Kind of Wonderful", not alone there. I ended up going on a semester abroad to the University of Swansea, Wales, in 1988. It was lovely, by the way. Saw a flyer up in one of the pubs on campus about Lick the Tins playing the next night in a glorified tea room in one of the Uni buildings. YES. It was a triumph for a music geek.

This version of this song was such a big part of my childhood... I’ve been looking for it for years and I finally found it. The nostalgia- I cant even handle it right now.

"You look good wearing my future." ❤💎

Really can't understand why this wasn't a massive hit.....truly one I love

a great film, a great director, tears and laughs

remember this from one off my favourite movies of the 80's Some kind of wonderful

Love this with a passion...takes me back like 30 years!

A classic song for a classic movie...

This is the REAL version. One of the best songs ever! Thanks Elvis, thanks Lick The Tins!

Great song!

I think this is easy the best version of this song. Without a doubt!

The Snapper what a film, I always remember going to Dublin the same year...93'

my wife had our 1st baby today and i have loved this version forever! got it played on national radio today before my wife went to surgery and it made my life- that and the baby!!! THE SNAPPER FOREVER!!!

One of the best versions in one of the best last 30 years films. Go Irelnd, go!!! Ciao from Italy.

Just watched the Snapper... Legend of a film....😄😄😄

In reference to the movie 'Some Kind of Wonderful': fabulous placement of this song at the end. Brilliant and quirky just like Watts! Each time I hear the song, I hear Watts' heart drumming the part... so I like that the song begins with the drum and tin whistle. Awesome every time!

the voice is too good to be true,absolutely beautiful!Like a goal from thierry henry!

What a classic, I LOVE this song. And The Snapper, pure class. Memories of watching it on video at Uni up in Coleraine in the mid 1990's. Best quote: 'What if it's a girl, and it looks like Mr. Burgess? ' Genius!

Hands down, the best version of this song, coupled with the film, one of the best cover versions of a song in history. Also,i can't help but imagine Watts singing this, have done since my childhood.

best version ever

Still gives me shivers after all these years, The Snapper classic x 😘

One of the best movies of the 80's. A top five.

I love this version with the dancing pill. lol

'The Snapper'...homesick.

Some Kind of Wonderful ♥

Feckin Brilliant cant stop listening to this wonderful sonng + was also featured in the Snapper a classic old film set in Dublin Ireland

I used to DJ in Dublin and no matter what the gig this used to bring the house down at the end of the night...thank you so much for posting...hairs on the back of my neck standing up.. ;-)

one of the most exciting versions of a great song. A very imaginative treatment...beautiful !!

Long live the internet, KZfaq and Pamaroshouse for posting this song, always liked it since watching the move Some Kind of Wonderful.

"You know what I'd like to do with this, don't you Burgess? Snip snip." Screenwriting at its very best

"Take my hand, take my whole life too, 'Cause I can't help falling in love with you." (I'm having trouble taking my eyes off the disenchanted dancing pill.)

Some kind of wonderful has got to be in my top 5 favorite movies.

who's here from Some Kind of Wonderful?

tear in eye for me

My husband and I love this song!

The Snapper

love this album. I've played it near to death over the years.

un gran remembre de los 85 con muy buenos recuerdos , FANTÁSTICA

heard this at the end of Some kind of wonderful, great film,wish i had a best friend who was a girl like her, grow up together type deal,it's so hard to figure out ppl when they are older but if u know them from young u sorta have that insight into who they truly are b4 they become adults;cuz ppl change,become less fun,but if u knew them from young u can bring the old them back if for only the times they spend with you

I love her husky voice. The only thing I remembered from Some Kind of Wonderful was this song. It stuck in my mind for years before one day I suddenly realized I had to own a copy. The Snapper was a much more worthy film for it.

Thank God for Colm Meaney

I remember hearing this song at like 6 or 7 o clock almost every morning on HBO when getting ready for school lol. I was like 7 in the 1st grade!

Blimey, I'd totally forgotten this version. Loved it then, love it now.

To Bruce my long time friend from Middle school;) 2021 I LOVE YOU TOO~ Crying for long lost love......

I didnt live when these great movies came out, but I think they are so much better than movies today, i love this movie !!!!!!

go ooooon Mr Burgess!

i love this movie. nice track!

Thanks for posting. Have had that song bouncing around in my head for the better part of a decade and couldn't find it. "I never pictured God with a fat gut singing My Way at Caesar's Palace" Jimmy Rabbit, The Commitments

These were the best times of my life!!

This is great! Thanks Andy Handova xxx

Great movie and really good actors

I love this song by these guys! AND,..I love the movie too.Some Kind of Wonderful was the movie!

drinking cider in finglas in the 80s 😎

I have to agree whole heartedly with theonlyestone, great great song, also loved mary stuart masterson in this movie

Thanks for posting this!

The Brea Mall Video Brought me here and guess what Brea Mall played it on the food court.

I have to agree whole heartedly with theonlyestone, great great song

thats how im gonna dance from now on! lol! to every type of music! XD

Every time I'm about to find out if I'm pregnant or not a Snapper song plays.. This one played this time haha

such an awesome song

Agree. England made great movies at that time as italian directors in 60's and 70's.. as if depression was a relevant power to creation. Don't miss frears' early pictures (prick up, etc) As you, the snapper is, according to me, one of the top 100 movies

2022 listening to this classic here!!!!!!!!! To prove it, one word, Omicron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@PAMAROSHOUSE Just to clarify, if someone else wonders: The tune that is heard both here and in Titanic is John Ryan's Polka (Dennis Murphy's Polka is the one playing in the BEGINNING of "An Irish Party in Third Class", from Titanic).

Thank you for posting this! I thought I would never find this version of the song, or who did it! Again, thank you!

the video is hilarious , what a great animation!:)

creative thinking, fantastic i like the voice. it's a killer! thanks it's from the movie something wonderful

LOVE IT. great. thanks for uploading. Listened to it probably 30 times in a row :)

Thanks mary stuart masterson & eric stoltz some kind of wonderful John Hughs was a great writer sucks we have to get old but if we didn't I wonder if films like this would mean anything?
