This song is labeled as Synth-pop, but back in the day it was also called New Wave. Anyway, this is yet another example of the unique music of the 80s! To me, the 80s had the most diverse music with a lot of innovation, and the songs were so catchy!

Another band that was part of the New Romantics was Adam and the Ants (lead singer was Adam Ant). A couple of their songs that I think you would like from the early 80s: “Prince Charming“ and “And Music“. On a different note and sound but still very much the 80s: Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush singing “Don’t Give Up“ (the official music video is stunning, as emotionally charged as Sinead O’Conner’s “Nothing Compares 2 U“ video) about a man who cannot find work that gets support from his friends during his travails. A very important song from the mid 80s during a time in the UK where the working class was being economically hammered and many many people suffered due to political and economic choices made by the government of the day. This song is reminiscent of similar subject matter that Bruce Springsteen sings about the working-class of America.

I was crazy-cray for the Human League as a teen! Glad you like them. From a music history perspective, the earlier work by The Human Leage and OMD are credited as being the very first bands that were able to translate (the very new) electronic musc and almost total synth into successful pop hits. Another great Human League song I think you would like "Mirror Man." And as for the 2 women in the band: Susan and Joana, they were like 16 when the lead singer, Philip Oakey saw them at a club or something, thught they looked cool, invted them to tour with the band (underage) for their gigs in Germany in the 70s. They had no musical history, got permission from their parents, took off, winged-it, and became world famous for being trend setters of a new music genre! Can that happen today?

It kills me that no one who reacts to this video ever seems to notice its coolest moment-- at 5:12, you see the two kids kicking a white ball around just outside the big red 'You Are Here' dot. One of the boys kicks the ball inside the dot, and the ball turns red, as do the clothes of the boy who goes running after it. He then kicks the red ball back, and in the same shot, the ball comes back down outside of the dot, changed back to white again. It's a simple idea, but executed really well and without the use of the special effects that would have made it super-easy to do today.

Human League was formed in Sheffield, England in 1977 by school friends Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh. They originally wanted singer Glenn Gregory but he was unavailable at the time so they asked this cool looking dude the knew from school if he wanted to join. It was Philip Oakey. They got one of Oakey's friends Philip Adrian Wright to join as their Director of Visuals. They released two albums Reproduction (1979) and Travelogue (1980). Didn't sell that much. Ware and Marsh left to do Heaven 17 with vocalist Glenn Gregory. They had a big hit with Temptation. Oakey got the rights to Human League. Wright started playing keyboards, Ian Burden bass/keys and Jo Callis guitar joined. Oakey knew these two young girls from a club. He asked them to join. Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall entered the band and their next album Dare from 1981 was a great success. I still enjoy some of the early songs from the original group. Check out Being Boiled, Empire State Human and The Path of Least Resistance

Can't get any more 80's than this. I think I still have the 45.

Such a huge hit in the 80s, they were on the radio constantly back in the day.

Saw these in Leeds in a concert in the 80's. One of the best concerts I've been to. Great band with some great songs!

Really liked Human League in the 80's when they had several cool songs, including this one. 'Love Action' is another really good one-Colin Ward

If I remember correctly, most all the music was keyboard/synth because they were known for not having guitars or other regular instruments.

This has always been my favorite The Human League song, so I was very excited to see you listen to it today! Phil Oakey's vocals on this are fantastic, and I LOVE the bass! So glad you enjoyed it!

I like how now it's 'Synth Pop' when back in the day we were all New Romantics, or 'Futurists' 😁
@fayesouthall6604 8 ай бұрын
New Romantics! Synth Pop is probably more accurate anyhow 🤣

This version of the group eventually split into two bands . Human League , and Heaven 17 .

back in 1983 (omg 40 years ago!) roger waters was asked in an interview what new group he enjoyed. he said he didn't listen to much new music except in the car while driving around,but he did say human league was a group who were "writing songs in a style i approve". not something you would expect from the prog rock master,but there you go!

Give their song 'Louise' a listen. It was the standout track of their 'difficult' album after this release, when grandiose artistry & record-label meddling proved too encumbering. The darker subtext of the lyrics is largely forgotten (see the Wikipedia entry), nowadays most people take at face value the story it mellifluously tells (a pair of ex-lovers hesitating to reconcile after a chance encounter), poignantly sung deadpan by Oakley. A lot of '80s synthpop bands had art rock influences: Human League, Tears for Fears, Talk Talk, Depeche Mode, etc.

Please could we have LEBANON by the HUMAN LEAGUE? Thanks. I am guessing that you will love the opening Bass.

The horns and bass are all synth. Great song and band
@lynnhettrick7588 8 ай бұрын
5:23 I was going to point out that it’s not horns; it’s a synthesizer. But you figured it out. I loved New Wave music in the ‘80s!

This was so much fun to dance to in the clubs back in the day. So great you all did reaction video to one of my fave raves from the 80’s!

Great song, my favorite by Human League. Always love when they pass along the mike and share in the singing in songs. Plus a bonus, never got to see the band before
@debbiemr6340 8 ай бұрын
Loved the Human League - great song! Another group around the same time was ABC. Would love to see your reaction to their song Look of Love. Amber I think you would love the story and Jay, you would be intrigued by the video.

Joanne Catherall had Martha Quinn vibes in this video. I remember some people swore it was Martha and not Joanne. I miss the 80's.

My favorite is Don't you want me, but this one is catchy and it's a fun video. I love the Human League; they were an essential part of the "new wave" British invasion of the 80s.

Such a fun song....Human League had bangers. Also shows how much Prince's Minneapolis Sound was so prominent throughout the '80s "Fascination" is basically a tip of the hat to "1999".

I’ve always considered this as the British grandfather to Madonna’s Into The Groove! I know I’m weird. Just the beautiful synth and the rhythmic throbbing melody they both showcase.

Gaaah, I miss the 80s! ❤ "The Human League" was played on some R&B radio stations, back then, mostly "Human", then "Don't You Want Me". I hope you get to "The Blow Monkeys" (lead singer, Dr. Robert plays several instruments, but is rarely seen playing any in the videos.) Songs... "Digging Your Scene" "Out With Here" "It Doesn't Have to Be This Way" "Wicked Ways" -- Still waiting on those comedic songs/videos... "You Look Marvelous" - Billy Crystal (pay close attention to the celebrities. Also, Billy's character in the video is a take on Latin actor, Fernando Lamas.) "Rappin" Rodney" Rodney Dangerfield" (you loved him in Caddyshack", and Pat Benetar has a cameo appearance.) "Big Cockroach" - Kip Adotta "Wet Dream" - Kip Adotta (the song isn't dirty.) "Sorry" - Arsenio Hall as Chunky A "Boogie In Ya Butt" - Eddie Murphy "Put Your Mouth On Me" - Eddie Murphy (it's not exactly fully comical, but it still might make you laugh, and the horns are amazing.) I have this list saved so I can paste under various videos. 🎵🎶
