#ThompsonTwins #REACTION - บันเทิง
This was one of my absolute favorites during 80s along with Howard Jones, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Yazoo and many more
Best time to be alive! At least for the music side of things...
Soooo underrated. They actually have many hits and they all stand up.
Thompson Twins: *_Lay Your Hands On Me, Lies, You Take Me Up_*
Love the Thompson Twins. When they played Columbus, a friend of mine knew the promoter and we met the band, took them to a club for dancing and then out to eat after the bar closed. They were very down to earth, and very friendly; great people. Other songs to check out: In the Name of Love, Lies, Love on Your Side, Doctor, Doctor, and The Gap. Great reaction!
+King for a day
Sister of Mercy
Just please Doctor Doctor, the obvious one but yes do that one. Hugs.
Perfect mid 80s pop song
This was a HUGE hit at the time. Between this song and Eurythmics' "Here Comes the Rain Again" you could basically tune up and down the radio dial and one of those songs would be playing on at least one station. It was glorious madness.
King For A day is their best-ever track ...😍
Glad you are smiling, a first class reaction as usual.
😁❤️
I always thought Thompson Twins were a cut above all other acts at the time.
My Favourite Band when i was a teenage boy " Hold me now " was their biggest hit but they had lots of Top 10 hits here in the UK " Lay your hands on me " , " You take me up " , " King for a day " , " Doctor , Doctor " , " We are Detectives " , " Love on your side " , " sister of Mercy " & " In the name of Love " are just a few of their hits . There is another artist i think you should deep dive and that is Alison Moyet she was the Adele of the 80s & 90s with a powerful voice . She started in the band " Yazoo " and had a couple of hits with them " Nobody's Diary & Don't Go " but her solo career was full of hits including " Invisible " , " All cried Out " , " Whispering your Name " , " Love Letters " , " Is this Love " , " Love Resurrection " , " Windmills of your mind " , " That ole devil called love " & " Weak in the presence of beauty " . One of the UK's Greatest Female singers . 😀😀😀
Tom Bailey…He had a breakdown many years ago and left it all behind. He’s performing again now…I believe he was a newspaper writer. Great channel.
He was a Teacher in Yorkshire uk
Thank you!
Oh, no! My heart just broke for him! I loved him growing up. Seemed like such a nice guy. Glad he’s back. ❤
One of the dopest 80's songs, one of those songs that you hear it and instantly get hooked, enjoyed watching this!
Thank you!
Thompson Twins were so amazing. They actually performed with Madonna at Live Aid in 1985.
As their next song I would recommend "Doctor Doctor!", "King for a Day", "Lay Your Hands on Me" or "The Gap". You really can't go wrong with any one of those.
Love Thompson Twins....you gotta react to Doctor Doctor next 😍🤞
I think it's classic 80's music. Basically the beginning of the music video age, brought a new vibe.
Ah the memories
Ah one of the classics from the 80’s.. love this one, brings back memories of a childhood long gone 😊
This song is a dream. It could go on for an hour and I’d still be smiling
Aloha
One of my favourite 80s tracks. Love on Your Side is another banger from them, but a bit more upbeat.
This song has nice harmonies and yeah it will stuck on your head
Yayyy! 😄 I've loved The Thompson Twins since I was a teen. Got every track, every remix. They are just brilliant in my view. In 1986 Joe (the dark skinned guy) left the band, and by 1993 they wanted to be creating very different music, so they changed the band name to Babble and made two more albums under that name. After that Tom Bailey (the lead singer) called himself International Observer and created further albums on his own. Some of my favourite TT tracks that you might enjoy "Sugar Daddy", "Lay Your Hands On Me", "Groove On" & "Long Goodbye" which is a heartbreaking song about the loss of Alannah's mother plus the loss of her and Tom's baby.
Formed in my hometown, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK.
Love On Your Side
Doctor Doctor
We Are Detective
Sister Of Mercy
You Take Me Up
In The Name Of Love
Many great tracks from these guys.
Adore this song...brings back sooo many great memories 😍
I am a big fan of the Thompson Twins, Lots of memories of my youth come flooding back when i listen to the Thompson Twins, My favourite TT song is - Don't Mess With Doctor Dream. Thanks
One of my favourite songs ❤
Please can you react to some more of this fantastic group... They still are my favourite group if all time since i fell in love with them as a kid in the 80s. Especially you, with your insightful views and totally on the money comments - i absolutely love your feedback as its always constructive, complimentary and i love the fact you have enjoyed your first try of them as your taste is unpeccable!
Other reactors only ever only do this one but they had untold hits.
I would suggest 'Sister Of Mercy', 'You Take Me Up', 'All Fall Out', 'Love On Your Side', 'Lay Your Hands On Me'...
What a great song that is!!! Nice discovery for me too. But what is that instrument the girl is playing?? Looks very interesting. Video very stylish. More Thompson Twins please. Love it 💜
This is a huge 80's classic, but you must hear Doctor Doctor and Lies, both AMAZING...
"King for a day"was there last big hit and one of my favourites. They are brilliant!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!! Great to see them again.
Thank you for watching!
The Twins were a mainstay of UK pop through the 80s (they did go into the 90s too, but unfortunately didn't enjoy the success).
Other track to try are Doctor Doctor, We Are Detective, and Dont Mess with Doctor Dream.
Keep up the good work 😁👍
Will do, thanks! 😊
Almost 40 years old yet somehow looks and sounds like tomorrow. Still fresh and vital
this music sounds to me like Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles looks to me. All 80's. 😁👍
You need to check out more Thompson Twins dude!
I loved the Thompson Twins! They were one of my top faves along with Duran Duran and Tears for Tears. Other great songs: Doctor Doctor, Don't mess with Doctor Dream, Lay your Hands on me, If you were here....
They even did a classic early House track - Come Inside - around '88/'89
Omg....my soundtrack of my 80s high school life!!
My 4 favorite Thompson Twins song's happen to be from movies. ''If You Were Here'' (Sixteen Candles - 1984), ''In The Name Of Love'' (Ghostbusters - 1984), ''Nothing In Common'' (Nothing In Common - 1986), and ''Play With Me'' (Cool World - 1992).
Always love your facial expressions....your eyes glancing all over the screen to take everything in....and your comments are always spot on.
Thank you!
Deffo need to check out more of their stuff, they are far more than this song, although its a beautiful one. Thompson Twins are very creative and inventively different. Glad you got here and liked.
Thanks for reacting to an all time favorite! A must from them is "Lay Your Hands on Me", among many others. ❤
Thanks for watching!
I wrote about them in PEOPLE
You were beaming
This takes me back to my boarding school days growing up in Southern Africa - as seniors we’d have those British pop and new wave tunes blaring out our studies in our spare time - good times.
❤Thompson Twins. You'd appreciate Alannah playing the timpani on Doctor! Doctor!
You should have been born in the 70s. The 80s was a great decade to experience as a teen-ager!
As soon as I saw you were reacting to this, my mind immediately went to the bass. 😃 This song epitomizes all that was great about eighties pop. Such an endorphin rush still.
I do so love when you decide to throw in a random band from whenever. So unexpected, so appreciated. These guys had some very addictive tracks in the 80's, pretty sure they've all been mentioned already, I second all of those suggestions. Thanks for this . ❤
Thanks for watching! 😊
You need to react to You Take Me Up & my fave Doctor Doctotr
Wow more Thompson Twins yes absolutely. Thank you for the reaction. I first heard them in 1983 aged 13 bought my first TT record at 14 now aged 52 still a massive fan. This was written after Tom and Alannah from the band had a huge argument and it was about making up afterwards. You touched on the bass line. True story a guy heard Tom sitting in the corridor of a Scottish radio station playing that bass line and he immediately knew it was going to be a hit.
Hold Me Now is their biggest hit. Which songs next. Thing about Thompson Twins is they changed a lot musically over the years. They originally started off as a 5 then 7 piece new wave guitar band. So if you listened to their early tracks their very different. Such as Make Believe. There’s some video footage of that. Lay Your Hands On Me from 85 is great and is when the record company were looking for a song that was like another Hold Me Now. King For A Day is very catchy and sugary. Don’t Mess With Dr Dream is an anti heroine song. Really worth checking out is Nothing In Common when they became a duo because Tom Hank’s is in the video.
I forgot to mention that a modern artist did a remix of Hold Me Now for The Gap clothing company ad campaign. Can’t remember the guys name but maybe you saw that on TV.
Good follow ups would be "Lies, Lies, Lies," "If You Were Here," "King For A Day," and "You Take Me Up." They also had an electronica side project called Babble. A favorite from those albums is "The Circle."
Great trio. They also had hits with "Doctor, Doctor" and "Lay Your Hands on Me" and "Lies." As others may have already pointed out, they got their name from a popular Belgian comic strip (translated into many languages other than French) called "The Adventures of Tintin," about a young reporter named Tintin and his dog Snowy. Two of the recurring characters are bumbling, fumbling look-alike cops named Thompson and Thomson (no relation but similar-looking names, too :-) ).
I am not sure why this video was recommended to me, but I’m glad it was. I LOVED the Thompson Twins (I was about 8 years old in 1984 when they were most popular). This was my most favorite song of theirs. I’m sure others have made recommendations to you, but King for a Day, Lies, and Doctor Doctor are some other amazing songs of theirs. So happy you enjoyed this!
This was a big hit in the early 80s. I loved it but admit I never bought the album. I think they made more albums but they never reached these heights. Whimsical is a good word for this, though. I love the caribbean percussion that isn't quite reggae but compliments a pop song so well here. Also, I still want that woman's hat. That thing is awesome
Hope you are still considering a Mew reaction. If the first side of the Kites album is too much for starters maybe a good dip of your toe in the water is Am I Wry? No. That is the opening song of their previous album.
I really enjoyed their music as simple as some of the tracks seem to be. In the 90s 2 members of the group created a very whimsical project called Babble.
One of my favourite ever 80's tracks, always comes on in my drunk Kitchen discos. A rather under rated group with some other great tunes too. I was 10 when this one came out originally in 1983 and played it on repeat. Later on, I came out too! Much love from the U.K. Oh and you should do some reactions to 80's British group Five Star. They were dubbed the British Jacksons...kind of! They were all brothers and sisters too. I was a HUGE fan of them.
One of their iconic songs. I'd love to see you do Lay Your Hands on Me with the video ... TT's best song. Count the number of instruments they use.
You picked a good one to start with! Hope to see more of Thompson Twins on the channel, they have a very unique sound and they’re so talented!
They have a smattering of great songs do the Thompson Twins, I had the album this track was taken from on cassette and still own it to this day. I'm sure others will recommend some other stuff by them, so just to say thank you for your reactions. Without fail each one is super enjoyable. x
Great memories and was my signature song when the Singstar game came out 😂
I don't know exactly why, but there were a *lot* of great, innovative British bands in the '80s.
It's funny you describe them as having something "whimsical" about them.... their name is taken from the Tintin comic books that are very popular in Europe. There are a pair of detectives named Thomson and Thompson who aren't really twins. Some of their songs do have humorous aspects to them like "We Are Detective" and "Watching". Plus, you can hear various different rhythmic instruments provided by Alannah and Joe like congas and xylophone along with Tom's funky bass.
Doctor,Doctor
You Take Me Up
Sister Of Mercy
Lies
Tom Bailey - What Kind Of World (Lead singer's solo work)

Great 80s track. You could also check out "Doctor! Doctor!" Thanks for a great channel

Great video/reaction as always :) Check out Into the Gap and also their cover of Cole Porter's 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' (from the AIDS fundraiser Red, Hot & Blue) - those are my fav TT tracks and are fabulous!!
sorry the song I meant was 'The Gap' (album is Into the Gap)
Can i reccommend Doctor Doctor by The Thompson Twins.
Farting bass. 😆 I get it though. Fantastic album too.
From this group I prefer the 1985 song entitled "King for a Day"
