We will never get this wonderful weirdness back, it was totally a product of the 80s! I'm glad i lived through it. What a great time it was.❤🎶

This isn't a song. This is an experience. A childhood memory.

A.I. in 2024 wishes it could be this cool.

Matt Frewer deserves so much credit for making Max the sensation he became.

Max Headroom is sorely overdue for a comeback!

I grew up with Art of Noise and remember vividly when Max Headroom came to be. Loved the series. The simple fact that they were able to use make-up to so accurately make him look like CGI still blows my mind.

Max Headroom was so far ahead of its time. I can’t, to this day, pass a car park without remembering how he got his name - which is every day.

Max headroom and the art of noise were probably the most futuristic and most 80s thing to come out of it

The world needs Max again.

Now there's a show that needs rebooting. Have Max Headroom roaming free on the internet. A slightly off his rocker A.I. that no-one can catch.

The World needs the 80’s back again!

The 80’s was such great times! Who else remembers hearing this hit song in 1986?

The Art of Noise is one of the coolest things to come out of the 80’s.

You can't get more 80s than Max Headroom, Art of Noise and Miami Vice. I miss those fun times.

Wow! I haven’t seen this in almost 40 years! Max is still fresh, inventive, and STRANGE ❤

Ironic how futuristic 80‘s music was. It sounded more futuristic than modern music.

God this takes me back! Robert Allsopp and I worked on the UK chat show version of this, supplying two fibreglass jackets for his character. We also attended the studio recording which was quite surreal. Ah happy times. I miss them....

Back again! Delicious audio sculpture!!!!!!! I am so glad I an 57 and had the magic of hearing this when it came out and blew our minds! Still Slaps!!!

It's funny that a song that isn't really a song, is so much better than the crap that's been handed out in the last decade or more.

Max Headroom- friendly, safe Artificial Intelligence. The time is now, bring Max back!

Art of noise were a generation ahead of their time...

Love the uniqueness of the 80's.

This is so incredibly creative and brilliant. The world needs a reboot of this guy, he would be huge given most people under 60 were brought up around computers.

I just recently got three Art of Noise CDs from the library. I'm old school and don't have streaming services etc.. If you've never listened to Art of Noise with headphones on your missing out. The sound mixing is amazing. A really awesome group of musicians.

Unnerving and yet not even slightly sinister. He's oddly adorable.

If there was ever a mascot for the entirety of the internet it’d have to be Max Headroom

So that was an experience. Max Headroom is before my time. I had no reason to click onto this video other than out of sheer curiosity, and stayed til the end, enjoying this rather surreal bit of visual design. At the exact moment the song ends, I get issued an item on the game I'm playing. Thanks, Max!

The 80´ music is such a fat package of sounds, rythems, voices, and neverending melodys I listen to. For about 25 y I just missed to enjoy the art of noise. Now it´s good again.

I'm not entirely convinced that this video wasn't directed by a sentient bag of cocaine.

He should replace Apple's Siri.

I used to play this song all the time and my boyfriend thought I was a bit crazy- but he married me anyway - married 32 yrs this April

I remember when Max started up and I spent ages trying to figure out if it was a person or a graphic. Matt Frewer is AWESOME. My favorite Art of Noise during his time was Close to the Edit. Great times - sure miss the 80s.

In the middle of the cold war, at a listening station near the iron curtain, a few of us working the night shift watched this video a few times each shift in the snackbar, while we chugged down mugs of terrible coffee....to help keep us, ironically, from falling asleep whilst "on watch".

Max Headroom: the guy who looks like CGI, but isn't

My computer science teacher showed the class this and I've been obsessed ever since

Shame this isn't in Stereo, his voice moved between the left and right speakers in the original song, which added to the quirkiness.

Art of Noise were the peak of progressive 80s club music - fantastic!

So far ahead of it's time. Matt Frewer or whoever came up with Max Headroom were geniuses. This is literally what people do to their faces today.

1:53 "Oh sweet slumber come shroud me in thy purple cloak." As someone who frequently couldn't sleep during my youth, this was my mantra. Always loved this song, and Max. Loved that Ernest Cline uses him in the novel Ready Player 1. :D

I work night shift. Was just lying in bed unable to sleep, and i thought to myself, "come sweet slumber, enshroud me in thy purple cloak... huh. Doesn't even rhyme." Now im watching this video. I loved Max. Let's not forget Bryce Lynch, the child genius behind Max...

Imagine if this video was the last trace of humanity ever left in the Universe.

Max Headroom is one of THE symbols of the 80's.

Max headroom. Yeah. Let's bring him back. We need a part two to that movie! It left offwith a cliffhanger.

1:07 -as soon as he said sleep, my frickin pc restarted... gota love random shit like that! xD

Max Headroom was bloody brilliant

The future ain't what it used to be.

Heard this on SiriusXM 80s on 8 and just had to find the music video. I was just too young in the 80s to fully enjoy Max Headroom. 😎

I have loved Art of Noise since the first album: absolute geniuses! I wish they still made new albums ... please come back!

Simply brilliant mix of Art of Noise avant-garde synth mixing with Max Headroom video technology, state of the art in 1987. Thanks to Matt Frewer...

Max Headroom isn't the hero we deserve, but the hero we need.

Everybody needs Max in thier life from time to time, and now is the right time ⌚

I used to love the show! Man, the 80's were the absolutely BEST!!!!!!!

Nice blast from the past. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

I was 20 in 1980 (64 now - eeeeek!!). I worked shifts and used to get home from the late shift and watch Max Headroom till 2am. I LOVED it. Oh to go back to the 1980's - I lived the dream. Great job, superb looking men and dates, great music and nightclubs, with no-one spiking your drink. I'm very lucky to have been there.

The kitsch of the 80's in history overshadows the incredible talent around at the time.

I do not think that people appreciate how amazingly wonderful this song really is.

I played the art of noise cassette over and over and over in the 80s and 90s. Never got sick of it. There's nothing like them now.

He was ahead of his time.

"Doesn't even rhyme" - Still a running gag between me and my wife

Loved Max Headroom when he was created. Bring him back please 💝

Isn't it funny how all of Max Headroom's features were meant to be oversized and cartoonish, but if you go to L.A. you'll see many people like that walking around.

Max Headroom introduced me to The Art of Noise. The Art of Noise got me into drum and bass (FUN FACT: "The Drum and Bass Colleciton" was the ONLY TAON album that my local library had, but wow what a fantastic one it was!). Still a big dnb fan decades later. Thank you! 🐧

This was essential listening on all the snazzy expensive hi-fi's back in the day far better than on the radio

Max Headroom freaks me out each and every time and yet I’m here 😜

All hail the mighty 80's that gave us such gems as this... the video freaked me out then, it was like an arcade game singing on your tv... in your living room!

This man is genius. Hes just as relevant today as back in the 80s.

Art of Noise + Max Headroom = GENIUS. This song is still awesome today!

Who’s still watching this in 2021? Me. This probably took a farm of SGI workstations to animate in 1986 😂

Loved this when it came out...remember watching max headroom and loving it, very clever compulsive viewing! 😊

First time I watched this in the 80's was on late night. Perfect music and atmosphere for those night time hours. Don't know why but I also love listening to those lips saying "Relax. You're quite safe here." Very satisfying. 😉

Perfect for when you don't know what is going on, you feel trapped, and can't get to sleep.

There was not enough Max Headroom in the 80's. He was my favorite character!

I have no Words to say how this track Blew My Mind... 2 Icons in the same Space 😎🙏

Art of Noise... they were way ahead of their time and thanks to Trevor Horn also very successful... i love the 80s ;)

This is so freaking utterly bizzare and abstract. I love it!

The way Matt Frewer makes the Max Headroom character work, it's hard to tell live actor from CGI.

The 80’s. Yes, I love this and I roller skated to The Tom Tom Club. ❤️

Love this from the late 1980s ,When I was still at school aged 13 when this came out in 1986 😂😂❤

Max Headroom used to DJ a weekly, 30 minute pop video program on TV in the 80's and he'd make jokes like about going golfing except he didn't have legs so his handicap would be pretty high. Just fking great. Haven't been able to find the shows anywhere since.

Wow! Just WOW! Had a few beverage's this Sunday arvo and cruising youtube for stuff. Ya know that kinda old stuff that ya can't quite remember name's and shit but ya know when ya see it again it's gonna give ya memory box a shake and bring a smile to the dial. So glad that I got to grow up in the 80's :P Waves at Max and hopes life's been kind :)

I can't sleep worth a poop. And this is right up my alley. I got a good laugh it. It's just plain funny. And if you don't think so, take a hike

Max Headroom for president 2024

Still "kicking it" in 2019 ! ohh I miss the 80's so much :-(

When I was in high school we all thought this was the coolest thing EVER! LOL I used to love Max Headroom!

I may be weird but this was my jam back in the day. Weird, wonderful, inventive and just way out there! Love it!

In the 80's they could shift reality in so many universes! Trough music and videos like this, you can feel the shift, the gate to another realms, that's why is so strange and wonderful and it remains open over time , like a real open gate to see beyond it. Paranoimia .

Max Headroom. The hero we need.

I still have this on 12" vinyl. Yay, me.

Now it's 2022.almost 2023 and what do we have today? Absolutely nothing.whoever lived thru the 80s know it was the best of times.nothing can compare to it.

I am so proud of the generations after X don't get this.

The last 5 lines of the lyrics. "Trust Me". Slowly dropping in frequency. That IS the Mind Control Virus being Slowly Implanted. When this came out. On MTV. I watched or listened to this song hundreds of times. I am sad to admit. It worked. Almost always when I was severely sleep deprived.

long Live Max Headroom!

back in 1986 disneyland had an area by it's a small world called 'videopolis". it was a place for younger guests to dance and mingle. the dance floor was huge and video monitors from small to verrry large were all over the place to show music videos. the sound system was awesome,like concert level sound. so one night i was there frying on LSD (it was 1986,ok ?),and stopped at videopolis to watch the people dancing and the videos. suddenly "paranoimia" came on and this music was pounding,max headroom was on every screen talking about getting to sleep,and a sea of bodies were bouncing and swaying to the music on the dance floor. i was on a elevated walkway and this whole scene was right below of me. i don't recommend anyone taking acid today,but damn is that a night i'll never forget.

**MAX HEADROOM FOR PRESIDENT!!**

Max Headroom is perfect when you draw and need to practice facial expressions.

Good old Max Headroom, VeeJay and SF-Star, host and an icon of the 80s. I loved the Art Of Noise and I was surprised they had Max as a guest star on their record. The video is still great.

I really like when the music really starts to kick in and he dances.

As quick he arrived, as quick he departed. But what an impact he made on 80s culture.

A student today asked me about Max Headroom and why he was so popular in the 80s. I showed him this video. Think he understands... ;)

The Top 40 was so diverse back then. This, Peter Gabriel, Bon Jovi, Run DMC, Madonna, Prince, Chris De Burgh, George Michael, Europe, Boris Gardner, The Communards, Diana Ross, Mr Mister, The Housemartins, Robert Palmer, The Bangles, Level 42, Genesis, Kim Wilde, Huey Lewis & The News, Swing Out Sister... It'll be highly unlikely any one person will like all of these, but it was so much more interesting than the chart today where nearly every singer and every song seems to be conforming to some kind of clone.
