A Heavenly Valentine For You From The Manics

Every day, we bring you the best thing we've seen on YouTube - a great piece of archive footage, a music promo or a clip from one of our favourite movies or TV shows.

Today: See the original Heavenly records promo video for Manic Street Preachers' “You Love Us.”

Watch James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire, Richey Edwards and Sean Moore flail around in heavy make-up and spray-painted shirts.

Happy Valentines Day from Uncut.

Altogether now, ‘Your love is like a holocaust…!’
