Pink Flag is such an underrated brilliant album

I just watched 'Naked' after watching this video. Good movie. This is an awesome song, especially the backing vocals.

I’m 62 and have requested Mannequin be sung by the attendees

Wire is probably the most influential band to come out of the "77 British Punk scene. So important and formative too many musicians period covered by Minor Threat, fIREHOSE, as well as Henrietta Collins & the wife-beating child haters. This is just a very important and influential album.

Simply fucking brilliant! Scenes from one of my all time favorite films, set to one of my all time favorite songs, by one of my all time favorite bands. Love it!

[paddyrobinson]

Arguably the greatest song I've ever heard. Top tier

[bennyshambles]

Naked is a perfect film to express this song’s sentiment. Excellent.

[samkells]

Whoever put this video together is a f'kin genius. 👍

00:07 is the face of exhaustion, self-hatred and misanthropy in it's purest form. I recognize it, unfortunately.

David Thewlis is such a great actor. Feckin love this song ❤

[vidykitty]

[samfiadrangus]

Pleasant surprise to see one of my favorite songs set to scenes from NAKED. Well done. Thank you.

The best record from the original punk 75 77 end of ❤

Everyday in Hollywood, in New York, in France, in Italy, in Japan, in India, in Korea, in any country of cinema, thousands of scenarists and film directors think about stories which are suitable for the music of Wire.

My fav Wire track! ...and they have so much amazing material..

[hannahbella]

This song with this movie... so ridiculously perfect. Can't stop coming back here lol

[easyrider]

Oh what a song, what an album this was. Wire was incredibly original and inventive. Is it wrong to wish to wish they remain as obscure and underrated as I think they are, so I could be among the fewest who had access to their dimension.

[TejaswiniManjunatha]

So many layers of meaning and interpretation to Naked. I really dig the footage you chose for the song!

[cromptoniser]

Love Wire, covered some of their songs but still brilliant originals

I love how you chopped the movie up. Nice work and inspired me to learn the song
