Underrated Song...

Literally everyone says this in the comments section on every single 80s video on youtube. Your brother is not special.

​@@James-if3kc Because it is true

@@stevedavenport1202 What I was saying is that EVERYONE praises 80s music now, so it's not "underrated" like this giuy said.

​@@James-if3kcHe never claimed his brother was special. Take a chill pill.

Music and memory areas in the brain are linked together. Thank God; we can always go back in our minds.

I miss the 80's !!🥺😫

Omg yes! 84 was the best year!

Yes

true. ✌️🕶

Hi Ann,hope you’re okay ?

AWESOME! Pretty hip in you 60s and now 90s!

Grande !

bless you, Ann you are 😎! hope you are well!!

that is cool . hey are you 97 really that is awesome

Lol I dunno kind of nicer to live now cause I can listen to all of this great music but also enjoy modern medical care and a reduction in criminalization of homosexuality (which is important because ABC made me gay)

yup!

You're not kidding there, Buddylove. I grew up in the 80's and ABC was definitely my favorite group

the perfect memoir mdma before it was illegal the perfect background music

So true!

Mine too 😊

Without a doubt

Amen he's the DJ

Kind of weird how it does that. It actually puts you in a time warp with 1980s happy thought. I wanna go back there again. Those days were da bomb

Yes i was born in 80.i love 80s and ABC.im italian

@@davidbanner9661 I was a young adult in the 1980's..Best time ever. Oh My God...

With you all the way! Why God chose us to live out our youth in that era I’ll never know. But I’m glad He did! Happy years, happy tears 😢

Hey the 80’s were fucked up too. You just couldn’t scroll through the horror all day. Ignorance is bliss

Yup, was such a simple time. No Bills, Gas and all the BS on News

Were in our mid 40s now!! Do you remember thinking how old 45 was when you were 8 years old?? I still feel 15. My body doesn't though. Good luck with the second half of life

Yes 1985 I was 13 year's old back then. 😲 😲 Now I am almost 50 year's old. Amazing song

1985 ! I just graduated high school ! Loved them then & now !

too many stupid invention and still no timetravel.....bloody hell.

Correct, October 1985, the air is crisp and cool. Doc and marty would have jamed to it before going to 1955 😊

Indeed!

Most of us I think were just chilling and carefree in the 80s, not all uptight and up in arms about everything like people are now. I am still laid back probably even more now that i don't have school to think about.

it's very short for us who really enjoyed that decade, when the 90s came, we became depressed, 80s was one heck of a party

@@PM_yearsago the 90s was a party for me, too ... but yeah ... after about 2005, everything went downhill ....

@@groofoot even though 90s and early 2000s wasn’t as fun as the 80s, 90s and early 00s are astronomically better than now

Questo brano è una vera opera d'arte musicale

YES! Even the ones that just seemed okay back then ... Magnificent now compared to modern crap. I'm 56 and with you! 💯💯

So true! I just turned 59 and this shit is great and I don't care anymore if anyone laughs at me! 😆

I agree with you the 80's were magical times.

Wow I remember this whenit came out. God, these boys wanted to be know. Is MTV even around? I feel so bad for them. Now they're lost men, on a lost medium, from a lost time. I guess they're at least transferred if you look. 😢

Hellyeah

2024 still going 👍 great song!

I turned 13 in 1981, and 20 in 1988, so all of my teenage years were in the 1980s. It was an amazing time to be a teenager. And yes, I’m still listening to the music I listened to then! My love for “hi-NRG” dance pop in particular will be with me for the rest of my days.

Hands DOWN the absolute best!

If I recall, that keyboard sound was one of the first uses of what I think was called a "Fairlight" synthesizer. They were so expensive only a few artists were using them. A truly breakthrough beautiful sound.

Yeah! That bass and some of thse lines. I'm 68 going on 69, I liked the song when it first came out, but think now it's a better crafted tune than I realized back then.

I can't stand metal and rap I've always enjoyed this kind of music

A man of good taste in music.

same here

I am a 55 year old metal head but this was a good song. It is one of those songs that makes people happy, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Ozzy Osbourne is 80s scene UK's best export

Me too! et aussi "the look of love"....."To be a belionnaire".

theoneaft I feel the same 1000 percent. This song makes me so happy and melancholy at the same time. The beat and lyrics are not just upbeat but infectious. I can't explain it. The video is simple and understated yet visually brilliant at the same time.

So true

Always ! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😁😁

Yes!

👍

Creativity all around. Lyrics, music style, fashion,

@@guzaria Don't forget choreography and filming.

All the different styles of music , even if you didn't like one , you still can't deny the talent they had reguardless..

Agree, but 70's were very nice too, believe me!

They were pretty big time in the UK, less here. True, odd.

@@milkbone28681 They were one of those groups that had like a 99.99% pure New Wave sound. The pure pop sound doesn't tend to be popular in America, that market needs something mixed in, like a stronger rock edge or a little R&B/hip-hop or soul, or a softer yacht-rock ballad.

@@theevilascotcompany9255 agreed. That´s why Duran Duran were so big in America (they are great either)

@@hbia Yeah, Duran Duran had a couple of things going for them: they had some good guitar hooks in their songs that appealed to American rock fans, and they had a couple of real heart-throbs in the band too that the girls loved.

Not sure they were underrated. They sold millions of albums, shows and were featured on top TV shows. They just didn't have super duper long careers like some people (Diana Ross, Madonna, Mick Jagger) It is not easy to stay on top of the charts for decades

Make this your go to if you feel bad.

Bravo! Killer song. Has the same effect!

bad ass isn't it? takes someone with a brain to make that type of melody along with the whole arraingement.

Magic

MAGNIFICO!!

Paul Wright So true, so true!

Genius

Truly the Alice in Wonderland of Music

Did he sport that style of clothes before Duran Duran did in the 90’s???

Indeed

Yup. When I hear this, it's 1985 again. Specifically, for some reason, Houston Oilers football season.

And the same place each time, or at least that's how it seems.

HECK I've had this song stuck in my head for the last four decades never mind the last couple of days...

I don’t trust anyone who thumbs down this song!! Seems suspicious.

A lot of 80’s bands had songs that gave off good positive vibes, like the 60’s did

Some people just don't have good music taste

Ever since being born 1n the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and beyond many people cherish this decade's pop music. Quite simply, it was freakin' bomb ass..

Vero .io sono nato nell 80 e li ascolto da quando ne ho 20 .come tanti altri degli anni 80.

@David Banner Me too born in 1982 last decade for good music and happiness .

lol yep ... and big-haired babes in Zena jeans and Converse hi tops too

we were happy with very little: true music, true dance, a smoke, a beer by the sea with a range rover and the sunset was all ours ...Then only songs like this is what we needed to fill in our spirits and soul.....Pure magic

​@gloriaelenaimperatore4222 I was born in '83, but I experienced enough of the 80s to miss it. I have two brothers who are 6 and 9 years older than me and whatever they were into or did, I was right there for it. I'm grateful for their influence on me, otherwise I would've missed out on practically everything that was happening at the time. I miss the summers spent together at our family's cabin, Air Force squadron picnics, sitting in the living room with my brothers and watching music videos on MTV., my brothers reading their comic books to me and our younger sister, going trick or treating in Air Force Base housing, watching Star Trek the Next Generation on Saturday nights together. I always thought that when we all grew up that we'd all have kids of our own and they'd be close with each other like we all were together and with our cousins. Not how life went, but when I listen to songs like this I'm taken back to how we all were then and it makes me smile to myself.

well said indeed was aweome

eduardo leon .........all a dream...........

Very well said long live the 80s

Man... I've been saying for many years now that Alive and Kicking is my favorite video from the 80s. But THIS one's near the top of my list too! Delightful to the max. Love how the director knew what details of each person to zoom in on and what angles to use to bring out the essence of it all. Memories of this make you tear up.

the message is clear! yo moma

Yes, 'when Smokey sings . . .' is a perfect example by them. Thnx so much for sharing your ecperience.

Quite True, I'm glad they never leave us. There are certain times when we Need Them, almost couldn't be without them either, for many & various reasons. Better stop now, before this becomes a Novel! 😎 C'ya, CJ-4-JC always

Enjoying a pint or two with your mates in the pub during the 80's

I had computers in the 80s 🤘 and many ABC fans (many of which were yuppies) had cellphones 😅🤣

Oh bless you James how lovely xoxo

THANK YOU SO MUCH LOVELY LADY, MAY GOD BE WITH YOU

i wish you good health and everything else will follow....peace.

sorry to hear that man hope you're always fine..

Sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Very romantic, poetic lyricism.

Brilliant

Despite the global pandemic we're all suffering, the music will never separate us!! I love this song so much!!

Definitely

The same here Chris!!

Wow. That's interesting -- I've thought the same thing for _years!_ This song seems a perfect fit for a typical 1980s teen-romance, John Hughes-type movie. Fascinating to see that I'm not the only person who feels that way!

Yes the song should be in pretty in pink and sixteen candles

I totally pictured that movie ending when I heard it

I could see it on sixteen candles...maybe during the scene at the dance or the scene at the party at jakes house...something like that...but then again it would've fitted to the pretty in pink soundtrack...the song is a contender for both soundtracks..to the 80's 🍻

Exactly right

Completely agree

I couldn't agree more!

Regarding music, 💯 agree!!

And the thing is, a lot of groups like ABC were never played on the mainstream radio stations, and if it wasn`t for MTV, you never would have heard of them.

It started with 9/11, and its been downhill ever since!

Same here 100%

I lost my mom almost 3 years ago. It still hurts. I don't think we ever get over missing them.

@@mchris8142 Lost my mom over 33 years ago ... I still miss her to this day. Some losses you never get over.

My fondest memories are shopping with my mom and listening to the radio on our drive there. So many great 80s songs. She’s gone as well.

Nice Hope. Those where the days.....I try to keep them alive by these videos..

Hope Maria all my dreams came true...happens every time we fall in love again for those we dont have fear to givr all once more

Michael Morales same here ;)

Juan Campos true ♥

i agree Hope Maria the whole thing was Genius from beginning to end AVE MARIA !

I feel my booty bouncing to it! 🤍🕊️🤍☀️🧿🤩

so wonderfullyes,so right

No auto-tune back then. People knew how to sing.

Hi Hillary,hope you’re okay ?

Forgive them Hillary, for they know not what they do.

Yep, I hope you are okay and over the fact that you lost.

They truly are. I love this song!!!

And played by REAL PEOPLE

Really?! I think the song's good but the production is thin, uber-digital and squeezed to the point of suffocation. Compare this sound to anything off the first two albums and it sounds like a good idea being strangled by a wayward computer.

It wasn't all that great behind the scenes sometimes but happy you get so much pleasure from these memories.

It's so funny cuz I couldn't stop watching MTV and I, for the life of me can't recall ever seeing this video, I know I had to have, I heard the song almost daily, I saw 'Shoot That Poison Arrow' and 'Look of Love' vids and loved'em - this song is awesome, and even though the video doesn't stick out in my mind, seeing it now goes right along with ABC's videos - awesome imagery

Me too, as I was in HS during the mid-late 1980s. Even in the 90s I felt most anything was possible. Then the 2000s happened. And everything I knew & learned was immediately rendered obsolete. And everything I loved was destroyed.

Indeed one of the '80s best...

Nothing has been quite the same since 1985.

AIDS, Cold war, crack, trickle down economics, Ronald Reagan (lol) .... anything was indeed possible

@@fadingworld5569 You can gloss over the truth with coke and When in Rome all you want but I prefer to see the whole picture, otherwise my knowledge about life would forever remain incomplete; including the negative, destructive, violent, painful etc

OriginalMACMAN EXACTLY !

Me too. For me the bass lines are the secret hook.

I remember it well, too! (I still have this song on 45 - vinyl.) For me, the 80's was the best era for music, hands down. And, I was a huge fan of MTV. I even had the pleasure of watching their very first video, "Video Killed The Radio Star” by The Buggles, when MTV first aired in 1981. (Man, I'm old!) MTV died in the late 90's when the execs figured people would rather watch the blathering idiots on "The Real World" versus actual music videos. It seems that music in general, including MTV, has gone down hill ever since. Hmmm, I wonder why MTV no longer plays videos, but yet still hosts the VMA's. That's a head scratcher! However, with the sickening, raunchy antics of Miley Cyrus (and her ilk), who would really want to watch the VMA's in the first place? Huh. I believe I've turned into my mother. I sure did sound like her just now. (Ok. Yes, I am officially old.)

Mostly Trash Vision !!!

I remember when my brother told me that there was a new station that played music videos all the time---didn't believe him until I watched it. This was when MTV first came on the air. Oh the memories. What happened????

Well we are in luck, MTV has now a classic channel and we can see all those videos again, check it on satellite tv.
