I turned 60 this week...i was 20 when this came out...life goes by way too fast...make the best of it and don't let anyone get in your way.

Who's loving the Plus One with me in 2024?? You are AWESOME!

80's. What time it was to be alive. I loved everything about it.

Such joy in 80s music. So glad I lived it.🙂❤

Being 55 yrs old this song screams great times, carefree times. Pocket of happiness

One of the reasons why the 80s was and is still the best! Who agrees?👍

I get a very sad nostalgic feeling in my stomach when I hear these beautiful songs of the 80s. Time went so fast.

One of the best 80s Hits. What a bass line

I'm a 46 yr old black man, when I put this on for my friends, they were like "wtf" is this, but after listening, the rest is history. ....lol

I don't care how long ago this was, at the time, it made us all feel happy, excited and sunny.

I hope they play 80’s music in heaven

It was criminal that this wasn't a bigger hit in the USA (it stalled at #37) I bought a 45 and still have it.

I miss the 80s I miss thinking I have my whole life ahead of me I miss the innocents I miss that first grasp of independence I miss thinking I knew it all I miss that feeling of thinking about nothing but girls I miss the first kisses I miss falling in love for the first time I miss falling in love for the first time again a month later I miss never worrying about my health I miss the times when music moved me And I miss my youth

Summer of '82.. What I would give to live it all one more time!

I was born in 1972 so was 10 when this came out and still love it today. Happier times.

The lead singer's facial expressions were so wonderfully awkward in this video.

The 80's was the most musically diverse decade in my opinion. So many different sounds came out of that decade. I would give just about anything to return to the 80's.

This song is 32 years old. Nick Heyward must be up to haircut 435 by now.

I was living in London in 1982 and the only tickets we get at one of the last minute booths was for a Haircut 100 concert. What a brilliant night.

This is such an infectious song. An early 80's gem of a video.

The 80s had such great music! I really miss that time and how young I was back then, I'm now 56!

This song will forever have a place in my heart.

This song only gets better as time goes by.......like wine!💖

Echoes of those beautiful sunlit days in the summer of 82 still ring loud in my soul still spinning this at 54

Nick Heyward was the cutest of any cute person in any parallel universe of cuteness at any time in space or beyond. Too much cuteness!!!!!!!

This song takes me back to the 80's and happier times . ..great era back then when bands had talent.

I was 10 years old when I first heard this song. It still sounds as good as it always did. It never lost its touch

Nick was one of my biggest crush in the 80s. Time surely creeps upon us. Glad he's aging well :)

This takes me back to the summer of 1982 when New Wave hit. Good time to be a kid

Who is listening to this during the Coronas lock down in 2020!

This song always had a hot summer day with the windows down on the open road kinda vibe for me. Still does.

Still listening May 27, 2021! Thank God I was a teenager during the 1980's

Man, I miss the '80's...

After all these years I still love it..I pull it up every so often it just reminds me of how care free the 80' were

Happy song among many from the 80’s. Gen Z and Millenials should listen to this stuff and become happier.

Classic 80’s brilliance, still have the original vinyl. God they were great times

This is still better than 99 percent of the shit out there today.

This song still sounds great after all these years 💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This song still holds up great! I remember watching this video on MTV.

Nick Haywood, blast from the past. Without doubt, the 80s were the best decade for music and living. Times were simple, people were easy going ❤

Towards the end of the video when he looks up smirks and then right @ the camera smiles. He knows he has made a classic!

This is what I loved about the old MTV. Honestly, if it weren't for that channel, I probably never would have gotten the chance to hear bands like this and would have missed out on some great music and likewise, groups like Haircut 100 would not have gotten nearly as much exposure as they did. At least I got a chance to enjoy it when it was still awesome.

Nothing better ever happened to music than the new wave in the 1980s. End of story. Listening to these awesome songs makes me feel young again.

Turning 57 in a few weeks. Remember them for their great , playful and dynamic percussion, horn section and bright upbeat front man! Maintains its awesomeness, timeless!!!

I never get tired of listening this song after 36 years. It reminds me of good times when I had long hair.

These dudes, man. Having so much fun. Smiling, dancing, enjoying the music! None of this serious, plaid-shirt wearing, beard-sporting, brooding, experimental, "I'm-a-musician" bollocks. This is nothing will ever surpass the 80s - fun, joy, splendid melodies, expertly-crafted singles.

There is nothing like the creativity of the 80'. Thank you 🙏

Went to the record store. I bought Black Flag’s Revenge and my friend bought Haircut 100’s Pelican West. We each made cassette’s and exchanged them. That’s how we saved money back then and why Gen X’ers have an eclectic taste in music. Nothing was dorky…well perhaps Air Supply😂

can anyone please give me a ride back to the early 80s? anyone?

One of my most favorite songs from the 80's, along with ABC's The Look Of Love. :)

I am in my 60s and will be listening to 80s music throughout my 90s, if I get there.

I'm nearly 60. I play this video anytime I have a bad day. Always makes me happy! It's instantaneous!!!!

I met Nick Heyward. So sweet and cute...I miss him/the 80s like crazy :(

I feel so old at 51 but boy I lived the 80's !!!!

Whoever said the eighties were awful obviously weren't there.Everthing about the eighties l loved. Even unemployment because l got to work in the USA for a while. And the Music will always be there for everyone to enjoy.

*I styled myself on Nick Heywood in 82', Sharon Kavanagh loved it* #2024

i lowkey wish we can make the 80s sound come back modernly just so i personally can experience new music like this today, because damn this is a good song.....being 16 this does not compare to what i hear on the radio on a daily basis basically this is great i want more please

One of the best hits out of the early 80's.....fantastic!!!

Lovely, wonderful song and video. 80s, musically such an unbelievably eclectic and unique time never to be equaled or repeated, sadly.

I'm an 80's kid and I Love to run to this. Thank you Haircut 100 for making this amazing track; its part of my life.

My favorite 'New Wave' song from the 80's! I absolutely loved this song so much!

I consider myself extremely lucky to have been a kid in the 70's. ..a teenager in the 80's..and a 20something in the 90's...great music to be the soundtrack of my life. Now a dad in his 40's. .the soundtrack of my life is the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song and Doc McStuffins' "Time for your Checkup" LOL. I'll gladly take it over the S*** called music today.

There is something about it that sounds very timeless and modern. It could have released in 2022 and none would think any different of its origin.

Every Spring since 1982, I kick off the new season by playing Pelican West. Thank you, Pete Spung, for introducing us to this album at WFU.

One of those attitude-adjustment inducing intros. And that bassline, damn I miss hearing some pro bass like that!

"Where does it go from here, is it down to the lake I fear" This has been my saying since I first heard the song in the 1980's as a kid. Cracking song and fantastic rhythm from the bass guitar. :)

PLEASE TAKE ME BACK TO THE 80’S!!!!!! ❤️

In 1982 I would play this gem at my Fraternaties weekend bashes. The ladies just loved it and asked me to keep repeating Love Plus One..The 2nd story dance floor was actually shaking! Ahh great memories of being 21 in 1982...RR

Another one of those 80’s gems that’s absolutely unforgettable. Love it. Where have all those years gone? ✌🏾😎

Alot of saxophone in the 80's..... I always liked this song's melody.

80's, come back!

I'm 41. I remember my dad dancing me round our little living room with this on a vinyl 7 inch. Seems like yesterday. And in the blink of an eye, it's gone.

I love 💕 you always and miss you 1984 ! The year I was 16 years old in high school 🏫 and feel in love 🥰 for the first time in my life. I still love ❤️ that awesome person.

I saw them, under age 26, City Gardens and said loudly " Good Show! " Common British Compliment!

I use to listen to this as a kid, so much memories and nostalgia from this masterpiece

I grew up surrounded with music. My parents were huge classical fans as well as Gilbert & Sullivan etc and they were involved with a church were they ran a lot of fellowship for young & teenagers etc so I was exposed to the music of people who were up to 10 to 15 years older . So I grew up with the 60’s & 70’s and come the 80’s I was 19 and lived through one of the most amazing decades of music the world has ever seen with so many amazing artists with the whole range of talents and personalities to the max. I am a life long lover and addict of good music and I have every record / cd I have ever bought over the years. The only original stuff that I had that I no longer have was my record collection of music bought from the “import” record stores in Sydney which were stolen after a break in which included all of Elton Johns record up to 1979 thankfully I eventually was able to buy them again but they were not the original pressings which is a bit of a bummer. Long live the music from the 80’s !!! 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️

Oh how lucky we were I just turned 50 - Living through the most amazing decades 70s , 80s 90s AMAZING - My life is whole. Music is my life - DJ since 1989 and still doing what I love . Playing music for those who appreciate

I can't ever imagine being in a bad mood while listening to this song.

Even at 60yrsold This song brings me joy. Improves my mood in less than 3 minutes!

Lots and lots of fun back then. Every day was a sunrise.

Imagine this. There's a ride that can magically take you back to the early 80"s. But it's only a one-way ride. Would you go for it?

I was 19 when I first heard this. Now I'm 59. Where did the time go?!

PELICAN WEST! My favourite album! So many great tunes and the music on it is unparallelled!

I miss the 80's cool stuff like this tune and video.

Great memories of the early 80's and MTV!!!

The best part of this song is the ending..the horn section the rhythm the percussions and his chanting. Masterpiece

Such a happy, catchy tune. Too bad the youth doesn't write happy songs anymore. Such a great time. Growing up in the 70's, high school in the 80's. Does it get any better?

Who agrees Nick is a great lyricist ? I think he is very talented.

takes me back to 1982,best ever for music😃😃

I had such a crush. Bought the album in Brighton when I was 14 😮. Now 54

Love this song! Takes me back to 1982!!

love it. Reminds me of 1982(?) I was on vacation in Guadalajra, Mexico. I was walking one sunny morning at this outdoor mall called Plaza del Sol. They were blasting this song on the mall speakers. Will always take me back to the place in time. that location. These memories will die only when I die. thanks

Loved the 80s ,what a joy it was to experience all that music , fashion and the sense of fun .

Seriously one of the most underappreciated bands ever

Ok! I’m officially stuck in the 80s...My kids recently brought this to my attention...Maybe because I’m restoring a 1985 GTS Celica, have an old 1982 Fisher stereo system with the glass cabinet and huge speakers, abundance of 80s music, and still have my 1988 IROC. The only thing is missing is my HAIR...Haha!

I am listening to this during covid19 shit, remembering happier times

The good times and here's Haircut 100 with lead singer Nigel Farage.

One of the most perfect pop rock songs ever by anyone. To think this was their debut album...

WHEN MTV WAS AMAZING!!!

Classic early 80's..Columbia House 13 albums for 1 cent
