I love this song. Robert Palmer’s gimmick of the background band worked miracles for him. It put him over the top fame wise. He was a total turn on with clothes sharper than razors and a stare that would stop you dead in your tracks. He dropped dead from a heart attack in his early 50s. He did another song with the girls backing him named “Simply Irresistible”. You will like it! I love Robert Palmer.

Rolling Stone magazine voted Palmer the best-dressed rock star for 1990! He wanted the music to shine through without anything getting in the way. Growing up surrounded by military uniforms, he thought a simple suit - his uniform, would mean the focus would be firmly on the music. “I just always felt comfortable in a suit and tie,” Palmer said.

Robert Palmer had a long career where he was able to make a living, but he never popped big until this song. The backup girls gimmick made this video explode on MTV, and everyone knew who he was. My gf at the time and I went to a Halloween party in costume, and everyone immediately knew she was a Robert Palmer girl. Then, they would say something like, "Oh, so you must be Robert Palmer.

From what I heard, Robert Palmer recorded the song in front of a green screen. He had no idea that the director of the video would insert the "girl band" behind him. This was intentional, as the director wanted Robert to give an authentic performance with no "distractions". This is what adds to the iconic nature of this video. 😂

Holding down the all-important beat is the Chic rhythm section, Edwards on bass and Tony Thompson on drums - the same guys who inadvertently built the foundation of hip-hop when the rhythm track of Chic’s “Good Times” was incorporated into Sugarhill Gang’s 1979 hit “Rapper’s Delight,” the first widely popular rap song. Thompson (who also worked with Chic co-founder Nile Rodgers on David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” album) plays a thwacking two-four rhythm - showing off with an open hi-hat flourish on the three that gives the song one of its key hooks - cranked up to booming volume in the way that only ‘80s drums can be, and makes it crunch even harder by playing as far behind the beat as humanly possible. Edwards makes this slow and very stompy song dance with a simple but amazingly funky bassline that anchors the riff while also making it elastic (his bassline dances exponentially better than the models in the video). That grinding guitar riff, of course, is the center of the song. While Duran Duran’s Andy Taylor contributes a squalling, impressively dumb solo at the end, the main riff comes from Eddie Martinez, who played the screaming guitars on Run-DMC’s groundbreaking 1984 rap-metal anthem “Rock Box.” Keyboardist Wally Badarou (who not only worked with Grace Jones and Herbie Hancock but played the stunning synthesizer solos on Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House” and “This Must Be the Place”) brings those sweeping keyboard hooks and the subtle, skittering sequencer that underpins the song’s rhythm.

Boy did you get that one wrong. The actual story is that Palmer was 'instructed' by his record company to use women as prop's to glamorise his records. He poked two fingers up at the record company by filming this as a parody. Shania Twain's song and video is a parody of a parody. Something that seems to be lost on some.

Robert had a lot of songs in the mid to late 70's. Johnny and Mary, Sneaking Sally Through The Alley, Every Kind of People, Bad Case of Loving You. In the 80's he really came into prominence with this song, Simply Irresistible, and then joined former members of Duran Duran for a supergroup called Power Station and had aa couple of great hits- Some Like it Hot, Get it On (Bang a Gong). Definitely worth checking more out!

This was a big hit on MTV and on the radio for Robert Palmer. He also did a song called "Simply Irresistable" with the same theme for the video. But, early on Robert Palmer had some bangers with the likes of: "Bad Case of Loving You" "Every Kind of People" "Riptide" "Some Like It Hot" and then with the Power Station he had hits with: Lonely Tonight" "Get It On" and a few others. He had an amazing voice, for sure.

Weird Al had women dressed like this (but with moustaches) in his "UHF" video (in addition to also parodying this song as "Addicted to Spuds"), Bowling for Soup dressed up as the women from this video in their "1985" video, and a commercial for Emerald Nuts has the women from this video attempting to "assimilate" a guy who fell asleep (because of not eating Emerald Nuts). Also, the women return for Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible" video, and then again for Palmer singing "Simply Irresistible" for a Pepsi commercial.

Some fun trivia on this video: *The models had some wine before filming and one hit Robert in the head with her guitar when she lost balance. The wine is also the reason why the ladies are dancing slightly out of rhythm with each other. *They hired a musician to show the models some basic guitar fingering techniques but after an hour he gave up and left. Notice their playing is not very convincing. *They were supposed to look like showroom mannequins. *Palmer used the same basic theme with the models for two other of his videos. *The model on the drums, Kathie Davies, was a bond girl in Octopussy (1983). *The models had lip gloss re-applied multiple times throughout the filming. *One model said that Palmer seemed intimidated by having five ladies towering over him. *Palmer's wife was there watching.

He was around 36 when this song was released. He was older than most people realized.

"Addicted to Love" came out in 1985, so this video was inescapable. "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" came out in 1999. Great songs by Robert Palmer - "Bad Case of Loving You", "Mercy Mercy Me", "Simply Irresistible", "Some Like it Hot",

Looking for Clues is my fave Robert Palmer track. The guy had one of the best rock voices ever.

There have been a couple of video spoofs of this. It's fun to notice them. One of my favorites of Robert Palmer is "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley".

the hilarious thing...the girls were so nervous doing this, the director popped champagne and told them to have a couple drinks to relax. They all ended up drunk and that's the take they're using. They are drunk. And on close ups, they are using the real guitarists hands with his finger nails painted
