Anyone passing by at my flat must think, that in it is a wormhole to the 80's... When it comes to music, always 80's. And the latest songs, I often listen to them at the end of each year during those annual chart shows... And the older I get, the more I miss the beautiful 80's. 🥰😍
This brought back some memories back home in Detroit. Damn near every night club or cabaret played this!!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💃🕺 2024, this still tops any of that crap that's played now!!
Stock Atiken Waterman were geniuses. A lot of people mocked them at the time for producing trashy music. But their music has held up very well over the years.
RIP MEL. You made my teenage years amazing , this was played constantly on my record player. Even got your dances down. And still remember them at 47. Lol. 😘😘😘
Style. Class. Beauty. Talent. Wit. Charm. Charisma. Fashion. Attitude. Quality. Even as more of a Rock'n'Roller I had to get their vinyl singles immediately back then.
Oh, I so vividly remember when I first heard this song on the radio & then watching them on Top Of The Pops. How I loved walking from Marble Arch to Oxford Circus and stopping off at the HMV store on Bond St. Mel & Kim were so cool. I absolutely loved their music, attitude & style.
I was ordering food from this Mexican restaurant and they was playing it . The cook was turning around and dancing to the song . I love ❤ it ever since .
They are so bloody adorable. So sad that Mel died tragically young. One wonders what they would have done if Mel hadn't succumbed to cancer. One single album, but it's an amazing one. Love the PWL sound so much, so utterly 80s and fantastic.
Sounded gorgeous, looked gorgeous - they didn't move that much in this vid but they didn't need to. Utter perfection 🥰 just so very sad about Mel passing at such a ridiculously young age, what a loss 😪 💘
OH MY GOSH! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I REMEMBER WHEN ITGOT OUT I WAS A 13 YO SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENT... I WAS SOOOOOO SO SO JEALOUS OF THEIR TALENT, THEIR BEAUTY, THEIR STYLE, EVERYTHING! I WOULD CRY TO MY MOM ASKING TO HAVE THE SAME OUTFITS AND ALL, BUT YEAH... OF COURSE SHE D SAY NAH GIRL STOP DREAMING N FOCUS ON YOUR HOMEWORK... UGH😩😩😩😩💔💔💔💔... WHEN I LEARNT THAT MEL DIED, BLESS HER SOUL, I MOURNED AS THOUGH SHE WAS A BIG SISTER. SHE AND KIM WERE THE LADIES I WANTED TO BECOME AS A GROWN UP... EVEN TODAY!
@@prayingwarrioressaminah9798 Parents can be tough sometimes! I so wish there were more sounds like this today. Yea, I turned 13 in the summer of '86 and I remember loving this track when it was released. I was probably in love with Mel & Kim for different reasons, big dumb males being that we (mostly) are 😁 ...guilty. I just love the under-emphasised and subtle dance here tho. Sweet! 🥰
@@elijahfluw4347 well I,m sure you knew this already, but to remind you, Kim was born in 1961, and Mel was born in 1966, and they were both from Hackney, I was born in 1966, and although I wasn't from Hackney, I did live there for a while in the 1990s, loved it, lived near the Hackney Empire, and would move back there again if I could, either way, we are both fans aren't we?
Was an instant fan of Mel and Kim when I first heard this and virtually ran to Woolworths to get my copy still love Mel and Kim and sadly missed mel beautiful gorgeous ladies 😍
My kids wanted to know what the music was like in the 80s. Don't know why, I had that song in my mind...And I am smiling! It is SO 80s! The music, the dance, everything! :)
I know exactly what U mean! & dontcha just love the whole Sheila E. thing they sport here with those hat-based outfits? Especially with those earrings, it fits them perfectly! ;D
Even after so many years Mel’s tragic fate is hard to take. Stock Aitken Waterman had the Midas touch, everyone they produced turned into gold. But the awesome Appleby sisters already were pure gold when they entered the studio. Young English roses…
Atlantic Records had a flood of dance records released around this time. Nice &Wild “Diamond Girl”, Nancy Martinez “For Tonight”, Nu Shooz “Point Of No Return”, Stacy Q “We Connect” just to name a few. Late 1986 into early 1987 had a ton of dance floor hits
This is music. The stuff these days they spew out is nothing compared to this. Mel, we need more people like you in the world. It would be a much better place xxx
All the rage at the fun fair, blasted out over the stereo systems, coupled with school disco music. What an era to live in and these two were stars in the firmament. Mel tragicly passed but their legacy remains.
Such a great song with nostalgia from 1986,Attractive ladies Mel rest in peace Kim you have been staying strong and have made great songs on your own and you remain a beautiful beautiful lady💜 This is my fav song from Mel&Kim
Kim is still a lovely, classy lady. Saw her on TV watching about the hits factory Saw. At the time because of hit man and her seemed a joke but a young person teenager who knows what apart from a few like songs but they all three, had serious talent. 👍🏼 So respect
I loved this song it’s a shame Melanie passed away too young her poor family 🙏😓💔😰😇 I remember hearing it a lot back in the day and on the new KTU back in 96 when I was a senior in high school
This record still sounds cutting edge and fresh just as it did 32 years ago. Wow. One of my very favorite records ever. One of the best low budget videos ever too - they were so gorgeous and wow could they dance. Nothing remotely comes close to this today.
Although the music makes me happy every time, looking at sparkling Mel Appleby makes me sad knowing she's not with us anymore...such a beautiful creature we lost...
I remember dancing my ass off to this song and Respecable in the clubs back in the late 80s. I was a senior in high school but boys still got into the kind of bars that I went to back then!! My sister took me out for my 21st birthday when I was legal to drink and it was funny when I came out to her a few years later and told her that I'd been getting in to bars since I was 17!!!
Being from the US, I’ve never heard of them, but discovered them from a UK music compilation I was watching today. Very talented group. Intriguing how their style was so ahead of its time.
@@trealoo33 very right. The proof that they didn't have to appear half naked to be stunningly sexy as they were. At that time used to be in front of the tv when they were on and try to dance like them. Classy dance moves. Brilliant, no one ever could do something like they did 👍
These ladies had it all! Style, Personalities,their own Sound and Beauty. I think they use to play this video on the weekends on TBS. I looked for their music. The record stores had not a clue. Midwest was a bore! Sending you love above Mel!!! 😇
This is like.....the EXACT definition of a song and video that I would think is absolutely amazing when I was seven years old. I am.....unsure as to how I actually feel about it at this precise moment.....
I'm in my 40s now but right now I'm right back my prime breaking these dance moves down! Move over kids I need room to get down and dont roll your eyes!!
Awesome both! Beauty both! Unmatched both. Since that times ago, nobody can do something simillar. Mel, rest in peace. The life, many times, it's unfair😢
I closed my eyes, listened to this and could remember dancing to this fab track...the 80s was a fantastic time for me....I danced my a××× off everywhere😀...R.I.P lovely Mel....gone far too soon lovely lady 💖 x
J'ai l'impréssion que le titre vient de sortir tellement il dégage encorte autant d'énergie !!! Mel & Kim,ça me rappelle des souvenirs !l les années 80 ,les films d'action,les comédies,Coluche ,daniel balavoine !!ouais ,une époque qu'on ne revivra plus jamais !!! alors ,je savoure !!!!
RIP Melanie Appleby (July 11, 1966 - January 18, 1990), age 23
You will be remembered as a legend.
1990, good grief. RIP Mel.

I tell you now, this song punches harder in 2024 than it did in 86, has to be played loud, that drum repetition is MASSIVE
This brought back some memories back home in Detroit. Damn near every night club or cabaret played this!!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💃🕺
2024, this still tops any of that crap that's played now!!
EXACTLY!!
32 years later this still sounds fresh.

I agree with the both of you. I will take this over auto tune music.
I am 32 and I love this song!
even 34 years later
...and not just at the weekend!
they set the blueprints for dance music
Was devastated by Melanie’s passing. She was so gorgeous. Gone too soon. RIP ❤️
When did she pass ?
Sharjjahn Aziz 1990 age 23.
She was an ikon. RIP 💙
Yeah I remember it. It was horrible
Melanie was the sweatest of those to. Both sweath of cource. She had a kind off sencitive look. Honoust vonerebility.
The most amazing and incredible popgirls love them Rip Mel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
These Girls were the Best.
They still are , I’m 61 yrs old .
Still dance to this .
Thank you MEL AND KIM.
❤️
Stunning how this track wasn't remixed all over and over and over again during the last 35 years. It actually begs for it!
Totally agree!
Ladies and gentlemen, the Appleby Sisters. Two of the snappiest dressers ever. Still great all these years later. Mel's death broke my heart...
not only yours...still sad to look back
AWWW MAN... SO TRUE 😩😩💔💔
RIP MEL. You made my teenage years amazing , this was played constantly on my record player. Even got your dances down. And still remember them at 47. Lol. 😘😘😘
Oohh it's so sad i still have their music at heart,rip mel
@@johnmburu6375 Yeah, They were awesome.
Whenever i watch mel dancing i actually go crazy,blowing up my musical emotions,,why why do cancer took her away? My GOD, rest in peace
I haven’t thought about this in a very long time! I loved this!!! I didn’t know we lost Mel😞
Same ear
It's summer, I'm fresh and it's the weekend....so I'm going to do what Mel & Kim told me to do...I'm showing out!! I love everything about them 😍
It's winter here but I know what you mean 👍 love from New Zealand 🥝
You have great taste listening to this song. I remember hearing it in 1986 when I was 7 years old. One of the best female groups from here in England.
Okkkkk 😜
Best songs ever
This girl's were ahead of their time,even in 2024 still sound and look fresh 🎶🎶🩰👏👍☺️
Stock Aitken and Waterman songs were a massive part of my teenage years! If I had to pick my favourite song by them it would have to be this 💛
Style. Class. Beauty. Talent. Wit. Charm. Charisma. Fashion. Attitude. Quality. Even as more of a Rock'n'Roller I had to get their vinyl singles immediately back then.
So modern for 1986, it's almost 90s club-techno music. In addition, this great fashion. They were ahead of their time. Really great.
It looks like 1990
@@lexkanyima2195 Yes, SAW included some house sounds in this title. It was before they wrote and produced more standardized hits.

Great observation
Garnicht modern für diese Zeit. Die einzigen 2 Lieder waren auch nicht vor ihrer Zeit gut..
I was 18 years old in 1986. Walking in Oxford Street. Heard this track blasting out of a cloth shop. I walked in just to feel the vibe.
Oh, I so vividly remember when I first heard this song on the radio & then watching them on Top Of The Pops. How I loved walking from Marble Arch to Oxford Circus and stopping off at the HMV store on Bond St. Mel & Kim were so cool. I absolutely loved their music, attitude & style.

Good old Woolies! The name Woolworths lives on,in the form of a hypermarket,in Australia.
Ahead of their time, still can't believe it happened
Still sounds modern today

80's hit songs still fresh in this era of living ...
Finally, a song with a sufficient amount of 808 cowbell. Greatest percussion pad of all time
And a sufficient amount of 808 rim shot
This takes me back to my teen years instantly,gorgeous down to earth Hackney girls :))
The fashion sense of these ladies was out of this universe

That's a great line.
How can you not love this song???
Who's not loving it?
I cannot stop staring at Melanie. Especially the part where she says "Showing Out".
This is the soundtrack of my teen years and I LOVE it!! 80ies FOREVER !!! :)
I know! What are we gonna do?
Me too!
35 years later still an excellent song.
I can't believe I'm saying this but after watching this music video, it was playing over in my head , why is that folks? lol
Because I love it
Such a great song with nostalgia from 1986,Attractive ladies Mel rest in peace Kim you have been staying strong and have made great songs on your own and you remain a beautiful beautiful lady💜

Simply elegant! Love the fashion and style these two brought with their songs.
You made my college days happy.
Mel's loss hurt.
Stay up, Kim!
Come back at the U.S. with it!
Those outfits with the hats are the epitome of '80s fashion, especially the pants.
Along with bananarama,the bangles, and nenah cherrie all gorgeous and talented and wonderful singers.❤️👍🕺🏼
Wonder what might have been for the girls had Mel been ok.......
Number one in the Netherlands in 1987. And right so. Wonderful record.
Yessss! ❤️
OMG bring back the 80's please!!!!
as soon as possible please.
Need i say more!
yes I miss my hair :D
Fuck no. Let bygones be bygones.
still nice to hear
Played this album at the skating rink the whole summer...I'd anything to relive those days...
These beautiful sisters will always be my heroes. Rest in peace Mel. Cancer has been in my family too.
This song, and Respectable was all over the airwaves in the States!! Both songs was my jam back in the day!!!
Brilliant songs that still sound fresh today. FLM is also a great tune of theirs.

They started to become one of the best at that time competing with Bananarama.
How I wish we were still as young as back then!
The first record I bought. The song and the clothes are so 80's, it was so much fun to grow up then. RIP Mel.
Love these two. They showed it's about the talent and that female artists can be sexy with their clothes on. They did it with style and class.
Don't quote me on it but I'm sure one of them did "glamour model" modelling.
@@s0uljah71 You're correct. And that was one of the reasons behind "Respectable." It was sort of a middle finger to their stupid critics.

I miss Mel and I hope Kim is doing well these days !
Always incredible, such a ungodly act to take one so young, explain that believers
Song just popped into my head tonight. Brings back good memories of when I was young.
#1 on the Billboard Dance Chart February 21, 1987
Still good in 2022
R. I. P. Mel Appleby, 33 years gone today 18.1.90, loved Mel and Kim, hated most of the s.a.w stable, Kylie, Jason, sonia etc
Of all of the Stock Aitken Waterman produced acts, Mel and Kim have always been my favourites
Some of the best moments of my life!!!!!!!!
I was in love with this song as a kid, owned the 45 single. And I'm tonight years old finding out that Mel died young. :(
This is like.....the EXACT definition of a song and video that I would think is absolutely amazing when I was seven years old.
I am.....unsure as to how I actually feel about it at this precise moment.....
I was 7 as well when this was released and loved it then. I still love the song and video today.
I'm in my 40s now but right now I'm right back my prime breaking these dance moves down! Move over kids I need room to get down and dont roll your eyes!!
Awesome both! Beauty both! Unmatched both. Since that times ago, nobody can do something simillar. Mel, rest in peace. The life, many times, it's unfair😢
