🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Wednesday May 8th 2024==saying hello from Chicago Illinois USA 💯...Goodday to you ladies and gentlemen listening to this song 🎉
sitting on my couch during the 80s in austin, texas, just ate a decent sized shroom when i decided to watch mtv and this came on... totally perfect energies radiated from my dwelling to begin a darn good life....now 73 years old and this still turns me on....OH MY
Rock on Ronnie [72 this end but wot's it matter] watch those mushies btw coupla folks pushin' up daisies here in Australia
Art of Noise, Yello, Laurie Anderson... the decade when you could make entirely unique, experimental music AND be in the charts.
Charts the in be AND music experimental, unique entirely make could you when decade the ... Anderson Laurie, Yello, Noise of Art.
@@wgaule agree absolutely I
@Kyrkos Ekaterinaris Happy to meet another Yello fan. Found them on TH-cam then bought most of their discography
My life back in the 70's and '80's. 55 Years old and still loving this stuff!!!!
Very much so!👍
Ooh, home of the original 'Hey' for the Prodigy's Firestarter 🤩
Yes I was thinking the same thing... No?
Yup 😊 I reckon you might be right
they reckon Prodigy paid a million for that sample
I dressed up as this little girl for Halloween one year in the 80s. Best party ever!
I did too
Anyone recognize the costume? And, anyone else watched New Wave Theater with Peter Ivers?
Me too because l am also able to travel vack in time with my time machine from the future and it's great and this all really totally happened and l can prove it and everything.
I wonder where she is today.
How adorable was she through the entire piece??? 😊
The spirit of 1984 here. The best time to be a teenager or twenty something. I was 23 and still love it in 2020. Thanks to these guys the 80's still rule. We had It good.
I was 17 and a senior in high school. Loved loved loved the Art of Noise, Beat Box, moments in love, just a great group and a great time in music
I was 13 and bought this on vinyl,totally changed my musical outlook and influences
Yep just before greed is good kicked in.
All music genres we're well represented back then...running forward on all 8 cylinders!
Yes completely agree
Out of all the videos that have been played on MTV over the years, this is easily one of the most surreal.
This. And Bowie's Ashes to Ashes.
Rockit
One of my 80s faves! Craaaazy!
This was the peak of how just about anything went on MTV as far as the music videos they played. The music was often songs most American radio stations at the time would have never touched otherwise because the major labels in conjunction with the big radio stations in America always set the tone for what was played there, outside of influential outlier radio stations like WLIR in Long Island, NY.
Rybczynski also did a wonderful video for Stereotomy by the Alan Parsons Project. He had an amazing gift for translating music into incredibly arresting, inventive, visual pieces of art in their own right.
These videos are like well kept secrets just between us 80's kids who had the privilege to watch hours of these cool ass videos! I'm feeling especially lucky!
I first discovered this video in the year two thousand. I’m not a time traveler or anything like that.
I was an 80s kid and only saw it once when take young, wasn't until Beavis and butt head watched it that I remember it. It's one of those weird things you saw and wondered if you dreamed it.
I remember seeing this version of the video on The Tube. I was 13 and...mind blown.
@Jim26D same, I thought I'd dreamt it but seen it again somewhere
Hah, I broke the system! Here at 16
You have to imagine this little girl's experience during this video shoot -- she was on top of the world 🔥🔥
A little mini Cyndi Lauper for sure!
She was amazing in that video. She kinda reminded me of the "Feral Kid" from "The Road Warrior".
That little girl is director's (Zbigniew Rybczyński) daughter.
@@lanabuttacavoli9619 Come on. That dog also was belonging to Rybczyński.
What are you talking about
I remember exploring the abandoned High Line in winter 1988. The wrecked piano was still where they left it.
Director: Just pick up the sheet music and throw it around
Child actor: Why?
Director: You'll understand in about 12-15 years.
I miss seeing gems like THIS. I want my MTV....
TH-cam is better. Videos on demand, instead of random selections.
This was part of a concert that I watched as it aired LIVE on MTV, th-cam.com/video/EC5XTz-S8k0/w-d-xo.html
@@ANDROLOMA Sometimes those random selections are what makes you discover new music. That said, MTV ain't what it used to be lmao.
@@ArcienPlaysGames Too true.
@@ANDROLOMA TOTALLY agree. I was thinking about how significant that is today!
In 1985, after "Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise?" had recently been released, I happened to be living in London. One day I was walking through a hallway to get on the tube. Someone walking just a few moments ahead of me had apparently just purchased this on cassette tape at the HMW and dropped it practically at my feet. I couldn't find its owner, so I brought it home with me and was pleasantly surprised when I played this wondrous album. As a young teen, I was used to hearing the likes of Duran and Wham, so this was a refreshingly different and rebellious punk rock/synthpop anthem that got me to open my mind to more experimental bands. Thanks to whoever it was who dropped that brand new cassette in a London tube station hallway!
Completely agree on the innovate sound, funny I was well into Duran Duran as well. I love the beat they created.
It was ME! Give it back!! 😁
@deco2gogo you're welcome!
HMV...
I was 18 when this video came out and was a newlywed living in a small apartment and MTV had just come out and I remember being mesmerized by each video. This one particularly had me on the edge of my seat with my mouth open. Wow! it takes me back. Wish I was young again and was seeing this for the first time!
Why did you get married at 18?
I was 17 in 1987. Senior in HS. When I ran across them. By that time? They'd already been out 1-2 years. Being a kid, life-long hiphop head, and from the hood in Long Beach CA around that time who never heard of punk music or anything like it, I always thought the little girl was a bit disturbing. Lol.
Now? I just miss certain things about the '80's. Like genuinely artistic, innovative music. Like...The Art of Noise.
How long did the marriage last?
Love this track. This is the art of noise to me. This one track. It's just so unique and my memory of the 80s as a young kid. ❤️
I was obsessed with this video. I only saw it once. I was about the same age as the kid in the video and I’d never seen or heard anything like it. I was a bit scared, confused, excited, and it struck me as something so unique, I wanted to see more stuff like this. I never saw the video again until TH-cam, haha. It’s interesting the things that spark imagination and leave a lasting impression.
Dude, same!!
Good for you.
Late teens then and even I was freaked out. I remember the first time I saw it and every time after, I tried to figure what the heck they were doing and why, but none of it makes sense and that's okay. lol
A similar video might be michael.jackson s leave me alone
the past builds the present;the present makes the future
Winner of the "Best Experimental Music Video Award" at the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards....back when they used to show groundbreaking videos like this.
I can't tell You how much I miss those days
I miss those days

MTV is the 80s was wonderful..I miss it:(
Back when the "M" stood for something.
Art of Noise affected hip hop, rap, alternative, new wave, rock, funk and jazz fans. #salute
I miss these days...watching this on MTV when they actually played music videos
Sadly you will never see anything like this on Amercan Idol. Or hear it on FM radio. This piece has stayed with me -- haunted me -- close to 40 years now. Art has the power to stay with us.
a good reason it wouldn't be on american idol is because it's like 7% lyrics 93% instrumental LOL
And this was the last time the music store allowed them to rent instruments,
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 that's all I have to say.
IKR? 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
How funny!
🤣👍
I remember seeing this on night tracks on TBS back in the mid 80's and it freaked me out then and here i am damn near 50 and it still freaks me out.
RollOut Red 😆right?
It really reminds me of stop-motion -- only with live people
Me too. I saw it way late at night and got really spooked.
@@b.lonewolf417 EXACTLY. It freaked me out the first time I saw it, trying to work out what was off about the movement. It's creepy
@@agargoyle12345 I know, right? Personally, I've always thought the horror genre should make more extensive use of stop-motion, in general...and *claymation*, in particular! :-D
Brilliant. Still watchable many decades later (38 years from then 1984 to now 2022).
I first heard this song back in 1984 and after ALL these years it STILL kicks ass!!!
This song is so damn tight - it's timeless.
+Jemiah Jefferson well going to the 80s
Analog!! They probably had .1% of the tech they have now & thats why it sounds so good!
Julie Dodgshon It was actually all about the Fairlight CMI. Check it out.
It's slick!
I agree
It’s 2019.. Art Of Noise still playing in my home!!
Always
It's 2020 now and I love this track so who's with me on this
@@andybryant9105 Yep, playing now.
2020.
2021 people!
This video is both beautiful and nightmarish at the same time. I was 13 when it came out and even now the little girl frightens me. It's as though she's the puppet master of these three men to do her bidding, and that her frailty should not be underestimated. The technique used in this video gives it somewhat of a stop motion effect making it look very surrealistic which also adds to its already disturbing visuals. I absolutely love it.
Zbignew Rybczyński was a BIG thing in MTV videos at the time, having just gotten an Oscar for his human stop-motion in his short "Tango".
It was always a treat to see Zbignew's cartoony motion or never-ending lines show up in videos like Lou Reed's "The Original Wrapper" or Pet Shop Boys' "Opportunities": th-cam.com/video/t1Am45JrwQ4/w-d-xo.html
I think it was edited to be in tune with the video - hence the staccato effects - but I see what you mean.
Your stupid
The girl is not a puppet she's really you are an idiot
Destroying objects with power tools and edited to the beat. Love it. I think about this video whenever I go to Home Depot. It is the only way I can tolerate walking into that place.
This song is an absolute masterpiece, enough said😊
My........mind..........
Art Of Noise, Close and Herbie Hancock, Rockit were groundbreaking
And mostly, if not entirely, Fairlight-driven...
Two of my favorite songs/videos as a kid. Still love them to this day.
Don't forget Peter Gabriel and George Harrison
You forgot Pump Up The Volume by MARRS
FACTS 💯💯💯
I was 14 when this came out and when I heard it - and then saw it on MTV - my brain basically melted at its sheer awesomeness. 40 years later, nothing has changed.
This will NEVER stop being BRILLIANT!!! WOW.
Yello Art Of Noise Sunscreem 03 The Shamen Pet Shop Boys Electronic Music 80s and 90s were the best. Art Of Noise did so many good albums and I have their albums and Yello. I miss the 80s and 90s Art of Noise and Yello were ahead of their time and so were so many other good artists like Madonna
Watching in 2016. This NEVER gets old!
Yep
loved this song and loved the video.
tackyman2011 2017
tackyman2011 Feb.2018 2a.m
tackyman2011 Watching in 2018, these days from my home in Brazil... never gets old!
I remember watching this on Night Flight when I was a kid.
Luke Brody what a great show Night Flight. Saw some very bizarre videos when I was a kid on Night Flight. Brings back memories
Night Flight was one of the best television shows ever to appear on American commercial television. It was groundbreaking in that it ran all night long -- essentially from about 9 p.m. through 5 a.m. every Friday and Saturday night throughout the entire decade of the 1980s -- showing avant-garde stuff from cutting edge music videos to indie films, and interviews with artists, writers, musicians, wild B movies, obscure docu films, film shorts etc. Night Flight was an absolute treasure.
or nightmares...
Gozilla meets Bambi
Yes Night Flight! Loved it! Banned music videos and trippy films!! I remember MTV would not show "Hot in the city" 1987 version by Billy Idol but Night Flight did!
I remember watching this video like at 10 or 11 years old and loved it then!
Was watching venture brothers where they reference this. I couldn't remember who it was, I just remember a Beavis and butthead episode where they had this. Husband found it for me💕💕
whoa.
I totally just got this.
It's really about deconstructing traditional music.
So is the video.
There was no traditional music video at that time. Early MTV was balls to the walls and it changed with the time.
And replace it with trash...
@@soaribb32 sooooo true.
Thank you!! That video makes sense now
@@pby1000 At least they succeeded in the noise part...
Thrilling music and video, and easy to imagine just down the tracks, in a tunnel, are the Prodigy...
"brock im stuck in a tunnel with a confessed arsonist!"
Oh yeah!
I read an interview with a member of Art of Noise about the car bit in this song. They were in the offices of Sarm Studios sometime in 1982 when they heard someone struggling to start a car in the lane outside the building. They stuck a mike into a recorder and caught about 45 seconds of it , transferred it into in their sampler and the rest is history.
And in a Guardian piece Anne Dudley mentions that it was a VW Golf.
Cool lil tid bit. Thanks for sharing. Those specific sound effects and what they’ve done with them are one of my fav parts of the song.
Remember this song from our dance recital as a youth, haven't heard it in decades, had to check it out again to remember what the fuss was about 😊
My entire musical life changed the moment I heard this on the radio while living in Germany in 1984. Everything changed.
My husband is with a German label the guys who own an run it say this track changed their life!
@@patriciahealey2927 ☺👍
And now we are back in 1984. Greetings from 2021.
was hitler still running the show back then?
and not for the better
Thank you Trevor Horn, master of the 80s
Yes. Can't believe he did amazing stuff with The Buggles, Yes, and The Art of Noise within such a short span of time.
My favourite Art of Noise track . Way ahead off their time. All their songs 🎵 & album tracks still stand the test off time.Its 39 years since this became a top 10 hit . Still play ▶️ AON . Never tire off hearing them. Just a pity I never hear them get radio 📻 play 😢😢😢😢😢
The 🥁 drums and bass are awesome sending the song into overdrive. Decades later I still love this song.👍🏆😎💘
Amen!!!
Yep
Music beyond what was to come. Here in 2022, this is WAY to much for modern minds to grasp. Bravo if you tell me!!
There was simply nothing like the Art of Noise, when we were break dancing at Yonge and Dundas with a piece of cardboard, they were the best of the hard bass and snare drowning out the Noise
Aye, we couldn't afford lino back then eh 😛
Dude! Fellow Canuck here. What you just said is EVERYTHING. The craze was far reaching. We were down at our local strip mall (in front of Beckers) in MISSISSAUGA (Meadowvale) with the cardboard, in our nylon (slippery) track suits, ghetto blaster pumping out this song. Midnight Star - "Freakazoid" was another one we used a LOT. Big up! The burbs were in on it too :)
Maybe one of my favorite videos. I saw them in concert when I was 18, was great. Many moons ago.
That little girl used to scare me as a child. But, I never forgot this song or video. So cool.
little pat benetar
reminds me of being a kid in the 80s :)
I use to get so excited when it aired on MTV
Still great, remember hearing this for the first time and thinking now anything was possible.
+JohnnyJohn116 hahahaha...me too dude
that was some childhood i had in ENGLAND as well !! when brilliant music ruled the airwaves !! though i didn't have quite as colourful a costume!! CHEERS!!
+Harvey Lee God, it was so brilliant!
This really got big MTV play actually.
This music video alone deserved MTV having their own awards for music.
@@RocStarr913 i understand MTV rather sucks now
Absolute Respect to those listening in 2022
I very randomly get this song stuck in my head. Even if I haven't heard it in years, I'll be walking around like 'bum. bum. badumdumdumdum.......la la LA!'
Oh yeah
So ahead of their time. After 30 years, I feel like I'm rediscovering them again for the first time and loving it.
Nobody sounded more '80s than The Art of Noise.
Trans X?? Living on Video ? 🤷
Claude Debussy was just inventing impressionist classical music in the '80s. Oh, you mean the nineteen-eighties. I think the synth-poppers of that decade are more stuck in their time. The Art of Noise were obviously very reliant on 1980s technology but made music that is somehow timeless.
This was the jam!! I was in college digging that vibe. Now again as an old man thinking “ hey, where’s that kid’s safety goggles?!”
I remember this video as a child.
MTV was my babysitter
To be in England in the summer time with my love is close to the edge . Love that lyric part.
It really hits home for me as well. If you've been in England during the Summer, you know. Priceless and rare sunny days scattered throughout the Summer months. Sunrise at 4AM, sunset at 10PM.
@@michaelbarbarelli3764 Yes it did for me back in the day , London Essex one happy chappy . Now I live on in the south west Arctic NWT Canada 🙄 lol
@@oldskoolpaul89 Harlow
I loved this cut ..but when I saw the video, it just made the cut even better...still till this day ,I jam this hit 😊😊😊
I miss the 80s!
It's 2023, and even now records of the art of noise and others from ZTT are on my recordtable. Moments in love is my fav.
Director to the little girl: Okay we're going dress you up like a punk rocker and let your break stuff. Girl: Okay! :D
The girls parents “Were gonna get paid for this right?!?”
Fun fact that’s the director’s daughter
More like - Director to Anne Dudley: Okay we're going dress you up like a punk rocker and let your break classical instruments. Anne Dudley: Yeah, i'm not doing that. Director: Shit, now what am I going to do, it's too late to recast.
They were geniuses..the layers of sounds were Amazing
I dont always listen to Art of Noise but when I do so do my neighbors.
40 years and counting. What a time for musical masterpieces.
This song just reminds me of my dad 🖤
I’m so thankful to have been raised on, and introduced to such interesting and experimental music.
Love you dad. Your music will always live on through me ✨
To be in England in the summertime, close to the edit
with my love...
Ronald Chase Not to be confused with the Yes title of that name. It was a time of sorting out who owns what, with digital samplers substituting for scratchers. At about the same time, Jackson Browne released the song "Lawyers In Love."
Edge on the audio,edit in the title.
Swooning
Gen X Represent!
Holy cannoli! The first I’ve ever witnessed this was Beavis and butthead episode and it’s taken me about that long to find this❤❤
Just discovered this in 2022, pretty cool! 😎
Great stuff, ground breaking in its day and still totally original. Moments of love is a beautiful track.
Hello 1984! ❤️
love this video!
hello i like latina girls
this is the shit.i use to mix this
on the turntables
Absolutely i agree i was about 23or 24 back in 1984 now in my 60,s this track still kicks ass 😛 art of noise rules
We were jamming this at Studio 57 in Glyfada, Greece. I'm 58 now, but I still love the music of the 80s.
One of the best music videos ever. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message and now I'm going to destroy a musical instrument that has served it's purpose.
Whole album is like nothing else then or since. The other side of the sound of Art of Noise was Moments In Love.
I totally agree. Played this album to death. Moments in love is such a beautiful tune.
no other video like it.i was 14 when this was out im 51now and its still great .
Yeah, and people still don't get us! Lol
I used to love this video as a kid. I miss the 80s and MTV
I remember when MTV played this video in heavy rotation...LOVE!
For all those watching the garbage on MTV now..... there was a time it was about breaking barriers of music of every type you could imagine. The entire network was actually about MUSIC.............. imagine that... Odd, different, no matter....if it was music it was on MTV..... must suck to have missed growing up in the 80's...... glad i was there.... :P
In California USA we were break dancing to this back in the day
In East Germany too.
I love this off the wall song. ❤
My first purchase single record. Wow. still so original. Love it.
Epic to say the least. Absolute freedom of creativity. These times are gone.
*But never forgotten !*
I absolutely love this video and this little girl was my best friend in my head😂😂
Ohhhh man the memories of getting to stay up late at my grandma's watching NIGHT TRACKS on superstation TBS😩😩
There were many earth-shattering moments defining my youth during this musical era where I had to pull over in the car just to get the details of the track I just heard. I still listen to college radio stations in anticipation....but nothing yet. Maybe I'm just old.
That kid really sets the tone here....so much anger in something so small
I was 16yrs old when this came out in 1984....I was like what the Hell is this ? I was fascinated with this music...Is this rock or rap ? I didn't know🤔🤔🤔
Classic MTV ahead of it's time man I missed the 80s
This is a time in the 1980's when the UK and England was just as good producing videos as America was!
At the time, Britain was leading the way as far as music videos went. MTV had many music videos primarily from British acts in their early years in America purely by necessity because very few American acts did them. They were always financed by the record labels and considered expensive investments.
Britain has a long history of producing quality visuals. It used to have some of the best film studios (including special effects studios for things like that terrible space opera about Luke Skywalker and his dad) and still provides the best actors. This video was made by someone Polish, though, I think, and the girl was called Sylwia.
Art of Noise is super tight!!! I remember this jam when I was seventeen and L.L Kool J was rocking the bells! You know what, these kind of jams make really miss back in the day! Do your thang, Art of Noise!!!
Brilliant, unappreciated then and still is overlooked. It's my ringtone. (Class of '85, yessir)
After all these years this video still intrigue. That little girl a trip
I never, ever get tired of this dance classic at all. I loved it back then, and I still love it now. The ending @ 4:03 tho.
How do you dance to this?
ZER0 How do YOU not dance to this?
Cos I'M shy and awkward. But I do love the song.
protectorofillinois3 Actually, it's early industrial. Industrial music back then contained a lot of synthesized sound, as opposed to later variations.
@butternutcrunch Bought this CD when it first came out and in 30 years, never thought of Art of Noise music as "dance tunes."
quite shortly after i bought this record - of course the 12" - back then i felt the urge to be in england. in the summertime. with my love.
I felt the urge to destroy a piano in St Pancras station.
30+ years later and this video still trips me out..
Was lucky enough to catch these guys around Halloween in a small club in '99. Before music went down the shitter.
1984, I'm 19 and this come's the radio [bbc radio 1] and I say to myself Wow ... what editing ... then I see the video on BBC's Top of The Pops 'surreal' ... what the video is saying, you can make 'New Music'= the young girl, without 'Old Traditional Instruments'= the older men. Just like Delia Derbyshire did in the sixties and Kraftwerk did in the seventies onwards ...
yes 80s sound of art of noise and clothing of 80s and big hair
Night Flight... Bring it back...
This is my favorite music video. Zbigniew Rybczynski was a genius of the medium.
I haven't seen this video in more than 30 years!!!
One of the best videos EVER!
