Present!

Right here! Gorgeous as it has been for 40 years 🙂

Yup. It popped in what's left of my brain and began another endless loop.

Enjoying with a dram of Singleton and Glenmorangie. In the Hot tub

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol

Those of us that were teenagers in the 80's didn't know then that kids now wood be envious of US and wish they were us then

Life then was awesome and so free. Yes we did fight for unity and we won. So much has been lost on the youth of today.

11/16/70. I will be your co-pilot!!!

@@Shawn-mo6dh and it’s confirmed that the 80s is the best decade

Fuckin A - me too!

100%. punches me in the gut.

Agreed but it's not painful 🎉

You endure it then, that is, nostalgia.@@rmbarnes672

It makes you remember alot of things

Truth ❤❤❤❤❤ Especially when you were thin with DDs

He look straight gangsta on nem drums! Animotion most definitely woulda been invited to the cookout in da hood. The Human League would most definitely be invited too!💙🤗

Thanks for sharing 👍

I'm friends with Paul (on the Keys) what a fantastic person he is. So happy this music will live forever

OMG! Was that the library on Robertson? Because I think that’s how I got tickets 🎟️ when I was a kid. My best friend somehow knew them, and I remember talking about drums with him at the library 📚 because I played drums 🥁 as well. What a small world.

@@theunknownatheist3815 Frenchy worked with my mom for years at the Palms/ Rancho Park location on Overland Ave. However… Frenchy did work out of many different branches. He would go fill in, etc. He was a sweet guy and ALWAYS loved to talk about music be it the bands he was in or music in general.

Could not have put it better

It's beyond timeless

except a stick.... and maybe a bat

synthwave remixes can

90х

Men Without Hats Safety Dance. Who trumps who?

+Christopher Wright no hes still right, saftey dance is more 70s

+Zeina107 well in the style of it, i know its an 80s song

so gooood

Try Missing Persons "Words"....

Awesome

So true agreed!

This song is memories of scrambling around the stadium arena on a dirt bike

The soundtrack made it my favorite game of the series, every now and then I'll pop in my anniversary edition and tool around VC listening to music. I even have the official soundtrack on CDs!

Yeah I ran over a lot of pedestrians playing Vice city while listening this on the radio.

Exactly the same here.

Me too!!

Me too

You’re lucky, I was born in 2001. I wish I was born in the late 1920’s or early 1930’s though.

Me too!! I miss those days!

Los ochenteros, sobre todo los que usaron sintetizadores, siguen y seguirán siendo FUTURISTAS en sus sonidos, ritmos y melodías. Aunque, paradójicamente, en este video representan a Cleopatra y Marco Antonio (o Julio César), 😆😊

Ha ha yes. 😄

Gave me a laugh in the future, thank you past comment!

Oh I don’t know, throw in a gerry curl and a moustache ala Hall and Oates and you might have a rival there 🤣

Couldn't have said it better 👍👍

I, being around very much so in the 80's, agree.

LUCKY.

word.

Damn right!! 👋❤

On 2 conditions, I go back knowing what I know today, and I go back to my teens 😎😎

Definitely gotta be 18 again and know what I know now . get that thing built.

Only if it was a hot tub.

I'm in!

God i miss the 80's. My dad was a bouncer at a night club back when i was a kid. Great memories

@@brettbourgeois5379 I can imagine the bright lights, pastel jackets, white stilettos and bumps of cocaine in the corner. Am I right?

Definitely a reason why I always wanna chug a beer when I hear this

The 80s were pretty badass in this way

Is there an 80s track with a shoddy bassline?? I can't think of one...

S

Still listening in January 2024!

Me right now!! In Philly we have a station called Ben fm. I hear this song often

2024

I am

this keyboard riff is synth

Donald Haney yep the synthisizer was the king of 80s music.

The Fairlight Sound was state of the art and very popular at that time . Custom programming was required and very expensive .

Maybe thats why im obsessed

The synths combined with the sick af guitar riffs are what make '80s music unique.

Very lucky. 😍

Please let her know that she had a profound role in my experience of the music of the 1980s. The image of her as Cleopatra with MarkAnthony is iconic of the era… and she is obviously dead sexy lol

In 1985 this sounded like the future had landed on our doorstep…. Driving synth, driving lyrics… obvious sexual tension between the lead and Astrid…. I hope they hooked up in a big way.

What part of the world is this

Is she in England? Both these voices together are so great! If you see her, tell her she's a babe. She'd prolly appreciate it. Hello from Austin, TX

👍

All instruments at max.

I think 1960s, 70s and 80s are unique and memorable in their own way. There won't be any other decades like these three.

Hi, the lead singer from this band is from Rochester, NY.

@@productplacement39 Bro the Ninities were the best by FAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@thedude5599 The 90s weren't that great.

@@richardschiffman6916 Are you on crack man. it was the longest bull run in history at the time for the stock market. Interent just came on line , the economy was insane. Weed prices were 3200 cdn a LB now they are 1000 a lb. You are nuts 90s by far the best decade and the music was the best as well. grunge hip hip gansta rap you name it . LOL

There's a few. What about this?? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9BxjLFq37zSp5s.html&ab_channel=infosocietyVEVO

Relax don't do it ,

It's a banger. That bassline and synth stabs are awesome. Video sucks though!

Agreed. But not the ONLY go-to. There really are so many! If there was a list of “Top Ten Unmistakable Songs of the 1980’s”, this would be included.

@@Sal.Manila most definitely, there are more! But this one is particular is a must go to! LOL

God yes. If I could do it all again.

Hell no! Id get my ass killed back then

Yeah, but I'd be 9 and I'd want to have the knowledge I have today. 😢😮

1986!

Me too 😊

I appreciate you commenting and I would like to say that you're lucky to watch the change of music over time.

I'm so jealous!! I was born in 76..grew up in the 90's as a teen...not even close to being as cool as the 80's!! 👍

The 60's and 80's have the best music imo..I was born in 80 yet the motown sound influence the 80's sound of new wave..Some songs of the 60's were remade in the 80's like Softcell's Taint Love ....There was plenty of remakes of 60's hits...

Ditto from a guy your age .

70’s are the best hands down

Always

Lol I joined an '80s Facebook group, july 4th and I graduated 1981, at 18 yrs old.. Posting all the classics I remember AND sing as a karaoke junkie turned Karaoke host, so I know them well too! But videos make them great to post, with some lyrics. How about Vapors Turning Japanese and Cyndi Lauper's She Bop, BOTH about masturbation, BUT Vapors is about a Serial Killer locked up, with a photo of a girl he was dating to kill, but and got a photo with. But he got caught from some other kill, and she's ok but HIS obsession. READ the lyrics on both and think on them and see i'm right lol!

if listening to 80s all my life is a bing. yeah :)

For some reason I'm on that 80s binge for life

For life

Yeah, and after you listen to : Police every breath you take

Other stalker/creep songs from the 80's; Every Breath You Take - The Police Infatuation - Rod Stewart Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell

@@DP-hy4vh I'd add on The Human League's "Don't You Want Me", too...

@@NatalieValentina6 That isn't a stalker song. They had a thing and now she wants to move on and be her own person and he doesn't understand why it's suddenly blown up.

@@kt1pl2 Firstly, they said stalker/creep, & I'll die on the hill that the male protagonist in that song is a creep. He straight-up ridicules, threatens, & gaslights her in the lyrics. He acts as if her accomplishments are solely due to HIS efforts. Plus when you read meaning into the lyrics, he's exhibiting stalker-like behavior, e.g. not taking "no" as an answer, not believing/wanting to abide by the fact that she says she doesn't want to see him. Perhaps he wasn't expecting a break-up, but his reaction is telling. He's not broken-hearted that she left, he's PISSED that she had the nerve to leave him without his permission. "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up And turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too. Don't. Don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't. Don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late to find When you think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby?"

Agreed!

For those of us, who experienced the 80's. We can only hope for that, in the here after! Which wouldn't be a bad thing!

Maybe 😏 But Then Again Maybe Not 🤭

Mine too 🙌

Sounds like the guy took lessons from John Taylor !!!!!!!!!!!!

Analog synths

How is it the 1980s had the best videos! and its 2021 and Videos SUCK!

There's tonnes of synth in more modern music.

@@k-leb4671 You are probably right and i am not disagreeing with you but I dont't like 96% of music today! i am 60s-90s! a few artists here and there i like some songs but i am not a big fan of everything!

I always say this bass line is awesome

Noooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭

So she is your Obsession then.

God rest his soul

You just described my teen years, as well as most of my friends. A few of us had denim jackets, but other than that you described 1985 perfectly.

Back in 1985, they changed the recipie in Coke and they called it "New Coke". The result was so bad that after just 3 months, they went back to the original formula and released it as "Classic Coke".

Same, but I had outgrown metal by 1984, got my hair cut and got into Spandau Ballet, Alphaville, Modern Talking, the Cure, INXS, and other New wave/Romantic bands. Still love the classic metal bands, though.

I was 16 in 1985 so the 80's were my teen years. AMEN to what you said. I rode a Triumph motorcycle and had long hair, and denim jacket. DONT forget the rhinestones in the early 80's.

LOL dude I was 17 in 1986. Now I go to Shambhala music festival every year. I never stopped partying , Blame OG is my name. Original gamer or Old Guy

Im a fan of the meme 🫡

Encore un qui veut exister grâce à un commentaire

Meee!

Yeah the smokin D minor chord running through this song does it. Everybody knows this song.

This and the one from Prince's 1999 are like all time faves for me

Saturday Night’s Main Event . Jesse and Vince. “I told you McMahon!”

200 volt song!

synth bass line actually

I think "a ridiculous amount of lines" would be closer to the truth.

@@jackal59 the 70s and 80s were all coked out but the grunge 90s brought back the trend of heroin

@@jrmetmoi And hence why the 90s sucked so bad...

@@Rep0007 exactly

Love the guitar riffs behind the female singer

Growing up in the 80s, my first exposure to this song was at a the roller rink as a kid. I remember it! The second this song started, the DJ brought all the house lights down but these flashing purple lights and lasers of some sort, and of course a disco ball was deployed, raining its reflections throughout the room. People starting pouring into the rink from the sidelines, and there we were, racing around the circular track with this new sound PUMPING out of the sound system, our minds blown by those synthesized blasts. There hadn't been a song like this before -- it was breaking ground. I never saw the visuals of the video until today -- personally I think the song is better, grittier, if you don't know what the singers looked like. Watching this on a laptop today delivers only a fraction of the magic that was hearing it in such a dark and kinetic setting, all of us in motion, on wheels and at speed. I would love to experience this in a roller rink again!

I was in Middle School when the song was a hit on the radio station. I really miss the 80s

Yeah this plays and it kinda wakes ya up eh?

Movies & music =80s bliss

@@christinamarcet1780 wow. Beautifully written with great word- pictures!

Where r u sexy?

Yes, fond memories indeed.

I know how that feels. My friends did the same to me but I did not care.

I love all the 80's but no one ever made fun of me because they loved the 80's as well and my friends now like the 80's too. I still wear tye dye lol. You are the only person online though. I got rid of the people that made fun of me

And Dallas Buyers Club sent me here before

Here for because my dad loves the song

i was born in 1989 :P

Looks like Bob Paris and Tanya knight

as an 80s guy, I agree 100%

loved FT

I knew I’d find the answer on KZfaq 😂

The location with the swimming pool looks similar to where The Cars shot their 1984 video for "Magic."

David Arnold Likewise!

No i dont like it. Just foolin i love it too!!!

It's one of those absolutely perfect songs isn't it there seemed to be so many gems from the 80s I can only assume that the work ethic was creating art and now it's about success and profit somewhere along the way the music business sold out

@@raymondstorey1257 This song is actually a cover.

TBH I never heard of them. Still being bhind the Iron Curtain in the mid '80s we got a just little bit of German and Brit synth pop, but almost nothing from the US. This video popped up in my YT feed today. They sound great and fun.

Crank it up all the way to 10!

Stay pissed and go back to the 60s or 20s or whenever you thought you were cool

And the later generations would trade all of you boomers to get your parents' generation back - who actually raised us while you threw away your families to chase whores & drugs.

Right! It always stuck in my childhood Years watching it and remembering how everything was at that moment.

It will come back, once we get out of this era of stupidity. I imagine how much better technology, science, art, music, movies would be, if people weren't so obsessed with talking about race, gender, sexuality, and hating people who don't agree with them, and trying to push way over the top crazy ideas, that make no kind of sense.. People will look back at this era, laugh and will wish no part of it return... There isn't anything special, or magical about this era at all.

The serial killer manifesto

I'm part of that mini generation born in the late 70s-early 80s. born 1980. half X half Milennial. I have the qualities of both

it's a gray area. I tend to group myself more strongly with millenials. I can see a big difference between someone born in say 1975 vs 1980. I was too young to get into MTV till it was already on its way out in the mid 90s. Millenials are more likely to still be living with their parents after 25. I definitely fit into that category, even working full time.

Somebody was saying the same thing back then.

+coolbluelights. well a 36 year old is to old to be millennial. they are 25 and younger. Anyone that watched He Man when it was new in the 1980s is not the new generation. lol.

I have no memory of He-man I was like 3-4 when it was on. never watched it.

I was in my 20's in the 80's. Reliving a lost youth!

As long as you were born in time to hear songs like this, you were born to hear good songs ;)

​@user-nc7cf4sp1r and friday the 13th

Sorry to hear that. I'd hate to have missed the 1980s! So much fun😊

i'm a 60's child i was there...no cellphones...no social media....we didn't need it...the 70's-80's vibe was unreal...you had to be there

I was born in the mid 70s, so I consider myself an 80s kid. While I agree it was great to hear all these songs for the first time, when they came out, I disagree that 'only those who were young enough can really appreciate it'. Anyone can appreciate it, if they actually appreciate it. That's like saying only those who were in attendance of Mozart playing the piano can appreciate him. People will always appreciate it.

great videos?? u blind? we had it all, but videos nope...

And this is one of the most 80's music videos. Utter irrelevance to the lyrics but still fun.
