With lyrics like, "Red, red wine / Go to my head / Make me forget that I / Still need her so," it's no surprise that UB40's "Red Red Wine" remains an anthem for the heartbroken, or more specifically, an anthem for drowning out the heartbreak. However, with its punchy, rhythmic beat, "Red Red Wine" certainly doesn't have to be a downer track. In fact, the song made Billboard's list of "40 Biggest Drinking Songs" so it clearly has a laid-back celebratory vibe too.
"Red Red Wine," which is featured on the 1983 UB40 Labour of Love album, is actually a cover of a 1967 Neil Diamond song. Diamond's folksy ballad-like version wasn't a chart crusher in its day, peaking at No. 67 on the Billboard 100 list in April 1968.
Watch the official UB40 "Red Red Wine" music video, in which lead singer Ali Campbell strangely drowns his sorrows in several beers, and not red, red wine after all.
