I sat next to Greg in college in Baltimore. Very cool dude. He played some coffee houses around Baltimore City where I saw him. It was just Greg, an acoustic guitar and a harmonica. He said he was heading off to California to start a band and guess what? He did!

I was 21 in 1981 playing in a band when the song came out' we bought the single 45 and practiced all evening up until 1am to get it down' played it at the club Friday night and ended up having to play it at least a half dozen times that night. Most request song for months back then. Wish I could go back to the 80's' best years for music.

This song is a legend...

Greg is still around and performing live AND with his son in the band!

I’m actually with Greg right now . ❤ that’s so cool I’m just now finding out he was a star and he still. Is.

1981…the year I graduated, great song!!

Good old days ❤

Happy 70th birthday Greg Kihn!!!

This song was borrowed in a TV commercial in the Philippines way back when I was in college during the 80’s. It’s about an orange product and that part in this song that says uh uh uh uh uh uh the commercial goes….uh uh orange uh uh uh uh uh. I remember this so vividly coz the talent that sung that song in the commercial was our band’s lead vocalist. A very good friend of mine who passed away during the COVID pandemic. Miss you Bro 😎

Epic song I LOVE it!

I love this song ❤

Tell Mr. Warhol that Greg Kihn deserves another 15 minutes.

My sister and I used to see him way back in the 70s at the various colleges. We both worked at radio stations and got free tickets to pretty much everything God those were great days Greg Ken was way better than people knew he put on a hell of a show I miss you Greg too bad we never got together love Marcia in Modesto

Un chef d'oeuvre.. cette chanson.. pour vous mettre la pêche en 2 secondes

Grandes recuerdos clasicasos

Kihn was too good for this Dance Fever junk. True Rock legend.....

Since OP doesn't inform us, I thought I would. This clip is from an episode of a TV show called "Dance Fever" hosted by Deney Terrio.

Take that, Disco.

The great kid band!

LEGEND ❤

And we had broken up for good just an hour before (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) Now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancin' 'cross the floor (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets you down (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) It was the same old song with a melancholy sound (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) They don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore We'd been living together for a million years (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) But now it feels so strange out in the atmospheres (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancin' so slow (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) They don't write 'em like that anymore They don't write 'em like that anymore Now I wind up staring at an empty glass (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) 'Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) They don't write 'em like that anymore No They just don't write 'em like that anymore They don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't, no, they don't No, no, uh-uh They just don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't

They even had the backup dancers in the background.. gytttn it

2:05-when I was young, and when I heard this part of the song, I thought he said, "bitches don't write them like that anymore".

🎸

Rest In Peace Steve Irwin

It Is So Sad To Break Up With Our Loved Ones. We Never Want To Loose Our Loved Ones. That Is Sad We Should Always Stay With Our Loved Ones and They Should Always Stay With Us. The Reason They Leave Us Is Because They Cheat on Them They're NOT Good For Them They Don't Have A Fun Good Relationship They Don't Have A Good Time They Don't Spend Good Time Together Those Are The Reasons They Break Up From Each Other. The One That Causes The Problem Makes That Happen. If We Can Find Some Way To Forgive Them and Love Our Loved Ones Back Than That Would Be Great If We Can Do Anything To Make It Up Them If We Were To Give Them Flowers Roses If We Were Able To Give Them Anything That They Are Going To Like If We Found The BEST Thing Ever That They Are Going To LOVE and We Know That They Will LOVE IT Or If We Do ANYTHING For Them That They Will LOVE And It Really Will Change Them and You Have Shown Them That You Will ALWAYS HONESTLY REALLY LOVE THEM And You Make Them HAPPY There Is ALWAYS ANOTHER CHANCE For Your Loved One To REUNITE Back With You Again They Can REUNITE Again THE LOVED ONES WILL BE BACK BETTER THAN EVER THE LOVED ONES WILL BE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN AND WE HOPE THEY WOULD WANT TO STAY BACK TOGETHER FOREVER AND THAT THEY WILL STAY TOGETHER FOREVER. We Hope Those Loved Ones Will Stay Loving Each Other Forever And Always. That's EVERLASTING LOVE That Will Be A Forever Lasting Relationship That We Would Want That Would Be GOOD. I Like How This Song Sounds It Has Good Sound Rhythm and Beat It Does SOUND SO GOOD. This Song Has GOOD SOUND This Song Really Does SOUND GOOD. 👍🙂

Greatest "one hit" wonder ever!

La guitarra eléctrica que utiliza Greg es un modelo de Vox

Greg looks like Han Solo.

OTIMO DEMAS E CRIATIVO

I like the clapping sound from the audience that isn't clapping. 1:10

This would have been the perfect Billy Idol song

did this guy star in the tv show the x files

Michael De Santa's movie - Meltdown's end credits from GTA V BECAUSE THEY DON'T WRITE LIKE THIS ANYMORE *they all danced.*

For some reason Greg looks different at 70 ?, then in 1981 ?

No pensaba que Mesi tambien era cantante.

We'd been living together for a million years Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh But now it feel so strange (out in the atmospheres?) Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh Now I'm staring at the bodies as they dancin' so slow Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh They don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore

Заберите меня туда в то время

Creo que soy el único mexicano q le gusta esta canción

deney terrrio from dance fever! you don't see him anymore either.

Gregg Kihn looks like Tom Wopat and Simon McCorkindale crossover rofl

Habíamos terminado para siempre solo una hora antes, We had broken up for good just an hour before, Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Y ahora estoy mirando los cuerpos mientras bailan por el suelo. And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing 'cross the floor. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Y luego la banda desaceleró el ritmo, y la música te deprime. And then the band slowed the tempo, and the music gets you down. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Era la misma vieja canción, con un sonido melancólico. It was the same old song, with a melancholy sound. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ya no los escriben así. They don't write 'em like that anymore. Simplemente ya no los escriben así. They just don't write 'em like that anymore. Habíamos estado viviendo juntos por un millón de años, We'd been living together for a million years, Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Pero ahora se siente tan extraño fuera de las atmósferas. But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Y luego la máquina de discos toca una canción que solía saber. And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Y ahora estoy mirando los cuerpos mientras bailan muy lento. And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ya no los escriben así. They don't write 'em like that anymore. Ya no los escriben así. They don't write 'em like that anymore. Ahora estoy terminando mirando un vaso vacío Now I'm winding up staring at an empty glass Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Porque es tan fácil decir que olvidarás tu pasado. Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Ya no los escriben así. They don't write 'em like that anymore. No, simplemente ya no los escriben así. No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore. Oh, ya no los escriben así. Oh, they don't write 'em like that anymore. Simplemente ya no los escriben así. They just don't write 'em like that anymore. Simplemente no, no, no no, uh-uh, They just don't, no they don't, no no, uh-uh, Simplemente ya no los escriben así. They just don't write 'em like that anymore. Simplemente no ... (se desvanece) They just don't...(fades)

Drums at the end reminds me of machine gun fire.

It came out in the 70

Lip -sung?

เข้ากลางเลย

I had a Stuffed Monkey age 4 but , they don't Write like that Anymore...

Las canciones, simplemente ya no las escriben así .......

I used to think this was by Tom Petty. Excellent song

Shame that it’s lip synced.

Sounds like he’s lip syncing in the performance. What’s happening!?

In those days they used playback... Many bands.... And it wasn't the best.
