The 80s were great can I GET a witness ??!!

I left the 80's but the 80's will never leave me.

Born in 1974, growing up an 80s kid nothing beats it. I hope when I pass on the Lord allows me to re watch my 80s years on this earth, pure heaven.

If this was your cup of tea there is a good chance you were born in the sixties, a child of the 70s, an adolescent in the 80s, a young adult in the 90s, and made it to Y2K in your thirties. That means you got to play in the dirt, rode the hell out of some bicycles, listened to great tunes, and watched genre defining movies! The best part? Those experiences will always be yours!

Oh the good old days. Wish I could go back to the 80s. Life sucks here in 2020. Who's with me.

Young people today just have no idea how much better we had it.

If I had the chance to go back to the 80s.. my grandmother, my dad, my uncle would all still be here to listen to this

Hands down one of the best songs of the entire 80s. Just never gets old

When I saw my future husband sing this with his garage band at a summer in the park concert, I knew he was the one..30 years later and we're still going strong.

One of the greatest, most uplifting songs of the 80s. Should have been used as a soundtrack in more movies, because it has such a great positive vibe to it

This song captures the essence of youth! Energy, passion, love, carefree life! Wish I could feel that again! Miss the 80s!

Im from the UK born in 2000 n still think the 80s is the best music 🤷‍♂️

Timeless classic. These guys were so underrated.

Remember when this came out back in 1986 and it still kicks ass after 37 years. They just don't make music like this anymore, the 80's were the best.

This song. The eighties. I’m actually crying right now. Wow things went downhill from there so bad.. i want it BACK..🤦‍♀️🇺🇸💔

Who's listening 🎶 to this beautiful masterpiece 🥰in 2024

The Hooters used to practice in a garage around the corner from my house. They were such good people, always signing autographs and giving kids signed drum heads and sticks👍

This song is never played on the radio in the Netherlands. I only recently discovered this song because of that. Now, it's one of my favorites. It's like a better Bruce Springsteen song!

This is what fun, freedom and joy looks like.

Thumbs up if this music makes you wish you could go back to the 80s for just one day

My heart just hurts watching these old videos and reliving the emotions I felt back then. What an amazing time the 80's were.

I was at a college party when I first heard this song. It was April 1986 and I was a junior at Penn State. Some girl was drinking Bartles and James wine coolers and she started singing this song, at the top of her lungs. I barely knew her, but this really left a memory. God, I can't believe that was thirty-six years ago.

Born in 1970, 15 when this came out. The '80's were an absolutely amazing time to be coming of age. Everything seemed like a positive, even with me not having economic advantages, and the negatives felt like they wouldn't last long. My entire life has been fueled off the energy from music like this.

I live right down the road from where this was shot in Exton, PA. The Drive-In is no longer there and a Kohl’s stands in its place yet, on more than one occasion, I have heard this song played more frequently than it should on the in-house Kohl’s music. I guess someone is trying to keep the spirit alive!

Me and my girlfriend rollerskated to this song I was 13 she was11 we are now married 5 children she's my life

UNEQUIVOCALLY THE 80s were the BEST❤

My husband and I are in the audience for this video. Exton Drive-In Exton PA near West Chester and Downington. Probably gone now like most of the Drive-Ins.

This took my back to the 80s when I was a teenager. This song is priceless. They don't make music like this anymore. Take me back to the dreamy 80s when music was good. What a great band.

Please take me back to the 80s. I would sacrifice the internet, I would sacrifice cellphones, and I would sacrifice all the overrated junk from this miserable new millennium. Just take me back to those simpler times.

This song takes me back to a summer night where a bunch of my high school classmates circled up a few dozen cars turned all of our radios full blast to the same station and danced and danced and danced the night away. The 80's were the best!

That line, "she could dance all night, shake the paint off the wall" described me to a T in the 80s - a fun-loving 20-something who just loved to dance - nothing to say, simply swept away with emotion, having fun all night dancing! I love this song, it brings me back to a time when nothing mattered more than having an amazingly fun night dancing! 😄

There was something magical about the 60's, 70's and 80's music, those were the best years of my life.

1964 for me. Means I was around 20 when this gem of a song was released. What memories!

The greatest song ever written. Yes, I'm serious. This song is a gift from an entity named Happiness, and I wish everyone could feel as alive as I do when I hear this tune.

2020 and how I'd love to go back to when life was simpler. Long live the 80's

And we danced and danced and danced born in ,83. This song is a stud if songs were people.

I miss the 80's❤

We were young and invincible. We never thought the last time we danced to this song would be the last time we saw some of our friends.

My kid is 17 and he loves the 80s lol, we listen to the 80s together and he loves the songs we listen too. It's sad that his generation will never know what it is to have music like this and what it was like to grow up in the best decade ever. I was only 12 when this song came out, but how I miss those days being a kid in the 80s, I wish we could go back to those simple wonderful days. Feeling so nostalgic now.

I miss the 80's very much. No other decade even comes close. Music will never be the same or anything else either. It was the best of times.

Born in the sixties, a teen in the eighties, and grateful to have known and loved the best musical decade of all time. Music that made you feel happy (and also music that you could relate to when you weren't so happy). I feel bad for the kids today that don't know ( and haven't been brought up on )80's rock. There was a real heart and soul to that decade that I don't believe will ever be captured in any future decade. But, at least we had it, albeit for a short time.

We never realised how good we had it, a magical time to be alive.

They only had a couple of hits but they were great songs! I never get tired of hearing them. Another band from Philly!

Love this song!! So many memories of 1985 music. My wife and I had a Mother in Law apartment added to our daughters house on eight acres. Just the other day I was listening to this song when my six year old granddaughter came strolling in. She couldn't help but dance with "papa". Loved that moment as much as I did being 21 years old when this came out. Dancing kept me sane.

80's teen, 55 now. I LOVE this song. I'm a teen again when I listen...and Dance!

I haven't heard this song in 30 years for some reason I was standing in the kitchen doorway and this song just popped in my head. Punched it in my phone and low and behold a long forgotten song came on. It's sad that music like this doesn't exist anymore. When it came on my mind flashed back to a much simpler time. I don't think the youth of today could handle such magic. For now this is the closest thing we got to a time machine

So much nostalgia!

The mid 80's I was young, broke, and had the best times of my life!

Well, I never danced. But I remember this on the radio from back in the day. Nothing quite so wonderful as a song that makes you nostalgic for things you never actually experienced, but remember fondly anyway. God damn, I miss the 80s.

I just realized how creative it is that they snuck their friends into the drive-in movie theater by putting them in the trunk and then the movie is return of the zombies but it’s the Hooters back from “the dead” with some new music. It’s such an amazing sardonic way of saying they’re back With new music. The power pop genre just had an amazing way of saying things. I’m not even from this time period I just fully appreciate it

80s music is amazing and this is an example of that era of music and in general, beautiful and memorable, danceable music. Timeless and ageless. Loved it then and still do, danced to it many times and still makes me want to move when I hear it. So fantastic.

Take me back to 1985 and just leave me forever...

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE OPENING OF THIS SONG!!

This song in my opinion was one of the greatest of the 80s. It still uplifts me takes me back to times gone by. But everytime I hear it I smile like I was back there. This song transcends time. All great songs do.

Born in 1969. I lived through the time of the best music, the best movies and some really great times. We didn’t need cell phones or the internet to have a good time. Just fast cars, loose woman and Jack Daniels

I never heard This in England in the 80s. I just randomly stumbled on it recently. You can’t get anymore 80s than this though surely!? Love it. Let’s dance!!!

There is absolutely nothing like the eighties nothing can match it. The hooters rock on.

I always liked this song and the video, especially the part where the girl winks at the nerdy guy selling popcorn, a couple of ordinary kids, like most of us were, finding young love. Really positive song.

Best decade, best music, best times. Oh, to be a teenager again!

Still one of the best songs I have ever heard.

Discovered this band in the 80’s and still love them today.

“As the band began to play out of tune.” What a great lyric! Really, really miss this moment in time.

I remember this was the first song I heard on the radio as my parents drove our brand new 1986 Pontiac off the lot. The '80's were great.

I still LOVE The Hooters after all these years! My friends and I used to go to every show they played at Blondie's outside of Atlantic City. I was 20, now I'm 60! OMG they are still fabulous and they bring back some really great memories...❤️❤️❤️

From the Mall straight to the all night drive-ins of '85 and '86......incredible the amount of detail that I can still remember from that time when I close my eyes.......good stuff.

After all these years I never tire of listening to this song by this great band.

Can't believe this is 30 years old. And MUCH better than any whiny, mainstream pop-punk song!

Boy....if this song can't move you, nothin can!! Back in the day this song got everybody dancin.

I'm 25, I grew up in my old man's mechanic shop and all I heard was 70s and 80s music and I'm so lucky, I get a very strange nostalgic feeling when I hear this stuff and I'm just so happy I know I can always go back to it and feel the same way every time, Ah man I don't want to be here.

It’s my absolute favorite song. And I love the part where the girl winks at the soda guy and he drops the tray. She’s so obviously into him.

"MAKE AMERICA THE 80'S AGAIN"

45 years old in February 2018 and still listening!...THE HOOTERS ROCKS!...MASTERPIECE!....Greetings for everyone from Santiago, CHILE!

A beautiful late-summer's eve in Pennsylvania in 1997. Right before I headed off to my freshman year at college. My buddy and I were out cruising in his dad's very roughly restored 4-speed '69 Corvette Stingray, with sidepipes burbling and targa tops removed. We rounded a hairpin corner at this one spot on a local rural road. He dropped a gear and that small block 350 bellowed through the valley literally just as the opening chords to this song came on the FM radio. We were on our way to a party to "meet chicks" (spoiler alert: we failed), but for the remainder of my days on this glorious earth that exact millisecond in time will instantly be reattained when I hear the opening chords to this song. Music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Every sensory perception is magically recreated and I'm suddenly a teenager again with the whole world as my oyster, if only for the brief 3 minutes. An era before I met the love of my life, now sadly gone, and before I became bitter and jaded. I'll never get tired of it nor wishing I could have that time back. Pro tip, kids: savor every moment and bite off big chews of life and never settle. As an odd coincidence, my soul-sucking corporate job for the last 15+ years is only about a mile from the old Exton, PA drive-in theater where this video was filmed back in 1985. And my unsatisfying marriage also originated within a few scant miles of the same location. Life is 'funny' like that sometimes...

One of the best Rock Song ever written !!!

When I die and go to Heaven I'm gonna ask God if I can live in the 80s for the rest of eternity

Strange, Feeling nostalgic for a time before I even existed. Strange and yet oddly comforting.

You can't help but want to bounce around when this song comes on. It embarrasses my kids when Mom dances and sings along. I just tell them, HEY! I WASN'T BORN A MOM! I WAS YOUNG ONCE!! 😂😂

ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj

I always loved this song. Hard to believe it only reached #21 on the charts in October of 1985.

I don't want to start a flame war here, but this is the greatest-ever melodica rock hit. Go on, you posers; try to knock it.

Can’t help but smile when I listen to this song. Memories of the 80s. Magical time!! ☺️☺️☺️🥰🥰🥰🥰

Most underrated song of the 80s BAR NONE.

Oh boy here we go. ANOTHER time machine here. This song takes me back in time as well. It reminds me of going to the drive in with my first girlfriend. I was in a gym somewhere in Murray Kentucky when I was 19 and I was dancing with my girlfriend at the time to this song. My gosh. Music is such a time machine and a bond we share as human beings.

The Hooters What a fresh 80's American band I was a fan of them Sounds great still.....♡♡♡

1985...what a year!

Amazing song. 90's kid here

I remember dancing to this under the stars at our county fair grounds as a summer send off. One of the best nights of my teen life!

Saw them at the historic Keswick theater before the COVID lock down. Wow, what a fantastic night. They are all brilliant musicians! Hometown Philly guys, with a tremendous catalog of hits. Brought back great memories, and made new ones with their performance! Can't wait until they return.

Sometimes a song is perfect. This is one of those times

Great song. Love the lyrics " The room was spinning and she whispers my name!"

I miss the 80s so much it hurts, the music, the peace, the positivity, and the general outlook of things going well. i do not think that will ever come back. politics now are about how bad things are and the hatred of the past.

When you hear a song and the memories come crashing back so hard it almost hurts.

I was and still am a metal guy. I would not admit, back then, that I liked this song....I will admit it now, lol!

Awesome memories that can never be taken away

We need more mandolin/melodica pairings in music today.

2024 I'm here cause just found this gem on an old mix cassette in my 99 trans am.

One of the best songs from the 80’s 🎶🎤🥁🎸

Real music, real talent. Great energy. Great memories

Filmed in summer of 1985 in Exton Pa. Where were you in the summer of 85? I was simply enjoying life, so simple back in those days. No cells, no emails, never locked doors.

Love the Hooters!!!
