Lyrics

[00:00.28] Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. My name is Rob.
[00:04.14] And hello, my name is Helen.
[00:06.60] Hold on Helen, hold on. We can't hear you properly. I think your microphone is playing up.
[00:10.50] Playing up?
[00:11.23] Sorry, I didn't quite catch that.
[00:12.78] Let me just push this button. Oh There! Hello. Now, you said the microphone was playing up?
[00:19.84] That's right. It wasn't working properly. If something isn't working as it should be, we sometimes say it's playing up.
[00:26.28] Up – not down?
[00:28.19] Nope. Playing down is a different expression that means something totally different.
[00:32.64] OK. So as the picture on my TV at home is flickering, I can say my TV is playing up?
[00:39.57] Exactly. Let's hear about some other things that are playing up.
[00:44.95] I don't think I'll be able to give you a lift to work today, my car's been playing up.
[00:51.50] Oh,my phone keeps playing up. Every time I dial a number, it just switches itself off.
[01:00.88] That sounds like my phone! So if something isn't doing what is should do then it's misbehaving?
[01:07.46] Ha Ha! Well, you could say that. It's just like people. When they misbehave we can say they're playing up. Like this…
[01:15.30] Sorry but I'm going to be late. The children have been playing up and I've still got so much to do.
[01:22.46] BBC Learning English.
[01:25.79] Oh,children are very good at playing up;it's usually because they want attention.
[01:31.46] Now, Helen, could I have your attention now please .
[01:33.95] Because playing up is also something you can say to describe a part of your body that's not working properly.
[01:42.50] Ow! Ow! I'm going to have to lie down; my back's playing up again.
[01:51.31] Count me out of this weekend's football match; my leg's playing up so I need to rest it.
[01:57.81] So it seems playing up refers to anything that's not working or behaving as it should.
[02:03.80] Now Rob, my leg's also been playing up so I wonder if you could give me a lift home in your car?
[02:10.60] No way - oh it looks like my microphone's playing up now!
[02:14.11] No, Rob, it's you who's playing up - now switch it back on!
[02:17.87] Oh, Oh, OK. Then, Helen!
[02:20.15] Let's go then. Bye!
[02:21.78] Bye.
