Robert Palmer was LEGEND! Check out his work with Power Station: "Some Like It Hot" "Get It On (Bang A Gong)" (a T. Rex cover) Solo: "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" "Simply Irresistible" "Mercy Mercy Me" (a Marvin Gaye cover) And no, he wasn't objectifying women in this video. The whole thing was tongue-in-cheek. This was the MTV days. (I'm a woman.)

Thanks so much for this review Sebs 😊. Love Robert Palmer ♥. He died too young and is sorely missed. 'Simply Irresistible' is another fab track but my favourite is 'Aeroplane'. It's sensual and beautiful, I listen to it often to relax 💕. He's quite the chameleon, edgy and raunchy at times, smooth as Sade at others. Music defines us all somehow, who we were, who we are now and who we will become. I can't imagine life without music and I'll always be sad Robert Palmer wasn't around long enough to record more music. I still miss him, and Freddy Mercury, and George Michael, and David Bowie. Thank goodness their music lives on.

I saw a detailed interview about the making of that video and it was pretty funny. The models were supposed to act like they were playing but they were uncomfortable and terrible at it so they kept trying to do retakes. In between breaks they would have food and drinks, alcoholic mostly and they kept trying again. Finally they all got so drunk they would fall down. It was only then they loosened up and swayed with the music and did a take that was acceptable. As you watch the video its fun to see their faces and know they are really bombed and were falling down. But that is what gives the video its charm. They look detached and like they don't care because at that moment they really didn't care.

This is rather innocent. As a boomer and a feminist male (for equal rights for women) there wasn’t much protested against this. It’s quite tame and rather empowering for women in rock. And a great song.

Written by the late Robert Palmer. Produced by the late Bernard Edwards. RIP to both. Edwards was in Chic. He and Nile Rodgers wrote Good Times, We Are Family for other musicians. About 10 years after Addicted to Love was released, Rodgers found Edwards dead 😢 in a Tokyo hotel room. This was 1 day after their concert. Cause was pneumonia. RIP. All-star 🌟 band. Chaka Khan on backing vocals. Jeff Bova on keyboards. Edwards on bass guitar 🎸. Andy Taylor of Duran Duran on lead guitar 🎸 including the solo. The late Tony Thompson, RIP, on drums 🥁. Palmer, Taylor and Thompson were in The Power Station with John Taylor of Duran Duran in 1985. Edwards, Thompson and Nile Rodgers were in Chic. The sequel to this song is Simply Irresistible. Music video is similar. Bova played for Billy Joel back in the 1980s. Other hit songs from Robert Palmer. Doctor Doctor Bad Case of Loving You, Hyperactive, Some Like It Hot 🔥 (with The Power Station).

The early and mid-80s were an era of style, class and sophistication. Stepping out without pleated pants, a belt, hard bottom dress shoes and a suit coat was a mortal sin, depending on your circle. The name of the game in the 80s was to dress for success and always maintain your dignity and composure in public. There were several distinct classes. The Wall Street, Miami, Harmless Suburbanite and Country cultures. There was no internet or cell phones and the police were essentially nonexistent. This video pretty much depicts the roles of men and women of that era. The men rolled and the ladies reaped the benefits of success, without leaving their lane with attitude like women do today. The cars were long, heavy and plush, built for a quiet, smooth, quiet cruise and it was rare to see a new car chopped up and brutalized like they do today.

No doubt there's an objectivicaton of women & the women's looks are intentional, but it's also meant to come across as an over the top, bit toung in cheek way of expressing a guys head over heals for a girl, Addicted is a catchy way of expressing it, not necessarily literally addicted to a lust. It's was taken that way. Not that it doesn't have the sexualized effect just the same, too. Appreciate the valuable, thoughtful reaction on the overall subject you bring. TY

I guess I missed the point back in the day. I just thought it was a groove and that being addicted to love was a good thing. The chicks were just clever eye candy, which was par for the video course then - but often with less class.

The reason for his pants being so high - is that dress pants are supposed to be worn at the waist, rather than off the hip like casual pants/khakis/jeans. Normally you wouldn't notice because there would be a jacket covering it up.

I have to defend Robert Palmer here. You're looking at him through your eyes as a younger man and 2024 notions of style. Robert Palmer was always good-looking, almost debonair-like smooth style, and always one of the best dressed rock artists of his time. Put some respect on his name. Most men could only hope to look as good as he did.

I don't know if it is actually true, but I heard a story about the making of this. Apparently the record company said something along the lines of 'Yeah, we like the song but we need to sex it up on the video.' Robert didn't really like the idea, but said..... ' OK you want girls?......I'll give you girls.' and came up with this idea of making them all look as similar as possible as a mickey take of the record company execs who asked for it to be done. There was a trilogy of videos like this....The other two were 'Simply Irresistible' and 'I Didn't Mean to Turn You On' both of which are well worth a look. An immensely talented singer taken from us far too soon!

Being addicted to love isn't a positive - it means you have no control and so you can't resist when you know it's a toxic situation. If you're addicted to love, you will leap into relationships that aren't right for you, that you know will cause damage. Tends to be more an aversion to loneliness than an actual addiction to "love".

So you didn't feel like that when you were getting serious about your beautiful wife. It's not sad...it's real. Now you're addicted to your wife and gorgeous daughter. You could live without them.

Now you’ve heard this you won’t be able to get it out of your head. You’ll find yourself humming it when your busy doing other things. In Robert’s early music career he was part of a band called Vinegar Joe and they released a song called ‘Proud To Be A Honky Woman’. Definitely worth checking out. It also started the career of the lead singer Elkie Brookes, another artist you need to react to. As to the video, it’s typical 80’s randomness, Those who are offended by it are most likely part of the current fashion to have a total “Snowflake” attitude to everything.

I'm an older guy, and I'm glad you're willing to try to appreciate more than just one kind of music. MOST guys your age WON'T do that! Be better than them. . .Be smarter than them. . .Be way more intelligent than them. . .Sounds like you are! Stay that way! BUT, what you obviously DON"T understand is the reason this works is because he isn't dressed like a "rocker" (which is EASY to do, any IDIOT can do that), but he shows up with these hot chicks and he's dressed like an insurance salesman. Brilliant! Any FOOL could parade out in the standard rock outfit, but Palmer chose to create a whole different look for this song and it works because of that. The chicks are hot for any era of music, and he's dressed like the guy he's singing about who thinks he doesn't need those chicks behind him. Brilliant! Please be smarter than your friends who probably won't get this. Please!

Palmers look for this video was so out of the usual for the look of groups of this time. Shirt, Tie and very "stark" generic look to the women made him stand out compared to the other bands/groups of the 80's. Now, I know little of the ladies in the "band" but it appears that they are really playing but I could be mistaken. They could be real and very good artists. I do not know.
