Yeah, this still gets regular airplay here in Chicago.... Now let's get to more current music..... It's perfectly fine to react to these MOLLY TUTTLE vid's retroactively!
British new wave bands in the 80s was kind of a genre itself. Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Pet Shop Boys, Human League,Orchestral Manouvers in the Dark, Simple Minds..man I could go on. I’d love to hear you react to more of them. The granddaddy of them all Roxy Music deserve a reaction. Love Is The Drug, Avalon, Dance Away. Think you’d love a lot of their stuff.
@@ShadowArtistI love this song, but all I see in my head when it plays is a damn Burger King commercial that used it to advertise some sort of patty melt.
Thanks Jamel, this is mine and wife's song. This was a wonderful thing to wake up and see and hear. Both of us grew up in the 80's and share our love of much of the music from that era. We didn't meet until the early 90's but we often share our love of that genre of music then and now. We have been married now 29 years. Our son, who grew up listening to that music is also a fan because it was always present in our home. My only critique to your summation of the song is that I never saw it as a end of the world scenario song. To me and my wife, we hear the words "I'll melt with you" and think of blending our selves, physically, mentally, and spiritually together. To us, the 'Melting' is our bond together. When the words, "I'll stop the world" is sung we see it as taking that moment away from the craziness of life and existing only in that moment together. But, you do you. You have your own ideas and I'll not fault you that. This song doesn't mean that much to you as it does us. Everyone is allowed their own interpretation. Thanks again for including this song today though.
Did you know - - it was written for Hall and Oates! They passed for some reason, but you can totally hear the "Hall-and-Oates"ishness of it once you know that.
@@scottboswell6406 That's interesting, and now that you say it, I can hear it...lol But as good as Hall and Oats were, I don't think they could have done it any better... Great song!
I love you man. My wife does too. Your reactions literally brings tears to my eyes. I don't know what it is, but your connection to humanity is a joy to watch. Thanks for making us happy.
One of my favorite songs of the 80's. I think it's about that moment when you fall in love and the whole world seems to some to a stop. And in that moment we melt into each other. Great choice for Valentine's day.
The British groups put out supreme 🎶 music. Instrumentals and lyrics.except those soft whispers were very eerie.🌺🌺🌻🌻thanks Jamel for playing these old songs!
When I hear this song it takes me back to a time when I had my first Beer at a Party. Wish I could do it all over again. Bring back Garage Bands Please!!! This song was part of the Movie Valley Girl staring Nicholas Cage. They don't make coming of age movies like they use to either. When You get Married 2 lives Melt together and become one. Poem La Vita Nuova by Dante In that book which is My memory . . . On the first page That is the chapter when I first met you Appear the words . . . Here begins a new life
Love this song and the movie,"Valley Girl," in Nicholas Cage's first movie role, I believe. I was a teen and twenties in the 80's.Songs like this help define that time. All the John Hughes movies that made the "Brat Pack." Don't You Forget About Me from "Breakfast Club." "Pretty In Pink" with "If You Leave." All kind of a new wave sound. I loved and still love it all. Great Memories.😊❤
You've mentioned the "hearing does not mean listening" thing a few times, and I love it when you do. That was something I had a teacher instill in my head 30 years ago in debate class and it's stuck with me all these years. More people need to understand this, and it's good seeing you point out the distinction. Also, this is a classic song, and the reaction was fun.
The bit where the music drops out makes the entire song. You should get Toad the Wet Sprocket into your rotation at some point. "Walk on the Ocean" is heavy preschool nostalgia for me (Fear is an excellent album all around, really), and the video for "Something's Always Wrong" adds a whole nother layer to it.
"She Talks In Stereo" - Gary Myrick "Love My Way" - Pyschedelic Furs "Johnny Are You Queer" - Josie Cotton and the Party Crashers anything from the Valley Girl soundtrack
This may have been the first "New Wave" song to really hit the charts. Blondie and the Pretenders were there but this was different. Led to a whole new style of Valley girl type music. See the movie.
The song depicts a couple making love while an atomic bomb is dropped. He described the song in an interview as a "love song", but more about the "good and bad in people. The last thing we wanted was to write a song where boy meets girl, they go to the cinema and make love, and that's the end of it."
Modern English is a very underappreciated band where there entire catalog, aside from this song, is concerned. Actually Melt With You isn't really representative of their sound at all; they tended towards a darker, denser, post-punk sound. Check out "Gathering Dust", "Rainbow's End", and "Ricochet Days" to get the idea. Then you need to check out "Dozen Girls" by The Damned!
Back in the 80s we were still in the Cold War, the threat of nuclear war, the environment,. We worried if we’d actually have a future. So it’s about a relationship and all the other stuff.
'Ink and Paper' is another "popular American hit" by them. Tons of underground NYC Club jams since the early 80's that cover bands played back then. 🎸 So funny to hang out with them now and not flashback to those early club days and not totally 🥰 geek out! 🤷🏿♀️ Do my best to be professional but sometimes, I come real close to 😍 losing it! 😁🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny
Classic 80’s tune! I don’t think you’ve review this yet - Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax. It’s a must listen from the 80’s !! Look for original version
I first heard this song in the movie, Valley Girl. Nic Cage break out movie. Moon Zappa and her Dad Frank Zappa, have a song called Valley Girl. So bitchin.
Another great review. You need to do a review of one of the best bands that came out of Milwaukee, WI: The Violent Femmes!! Songs: American Music, Blister in the sun, Add it up, Kiss off
Don't even have to watch the vid to give it a like as I enjoy and respect what you do and your respect and appreciation for these bands. I mean I do watch the vids too lol
A great song that should have been better marketed. It actually failed to make the top 40 twice. They did a quarantine version last year that should be seen.

Happy Valentine's day jamel
there were a lot of gems from that time.
You were close... its about a nuclear war breaking out.. (cold war). Making love while the bombs dropped... hence "melt with you"

"Same Old Scene" by Roxy is the greatest Duran Duran song not made by DD.
Love Is the Drug, Roxy Music! Yes 🙌🏻
WOW! I like you. Great run down!✌👍🌝☀️
Thompson Twins, Naked Eyes, ABC, A Flock of Seagulls
@@brianmiller1077 "Same Old Scene" and "Pyjamarama" are tied for my favorite songs
*_"I'll stop the world - and melt with you"_* is one of the most evocative - and strongest - single sentences ever written.
and then some dumb tv ad uses that snippet of the song out of context to advertise chocolate... (smh)
@@ShadowArtistI love this song, but all I see in my head when it plays is a damn Burger King commercial that used it to advertise some sort of patty melt.
❤
@@ShadowArtist when those ads play I just imagine a chocolatey nuclear bomb and its all good.
One of the most perfect pop songs ever with an unmistakeably '80s sound.
Yes. This is perfect!
It’s the 80s theme song. Reminds me of being a teen.
This song is also off one of their greatest album After the Snow. The whole album is here on youtube so you should go check it out.
@@Fakeaorta The 80’s was the best time for music.
Totally 80's
One of the favorite radio songs of my youth. It just makes me think of being young and driving on the strip in the summer.

The fact that you got the actual meaning of the song- you're a genius, sir!
One of my FAVORITE songs back in the day 💕💕 - great song
How about Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes and Nina - 99 Luftballons (German Version)
I think you meant Nena, not Nina.
@@robertfitterman3777 you’re right. Thx for the correction!

"I Can Dream About You" ~ Dan Hartman
Did you know - - it was written for Hall and Oates! They passed for some reason, but you can totally hear the "Hall-and-Oates"ishness of it once you know that.
Never get tired of that song. Dan Hartman was asked to write a song, and wrote this one. He sang this on Soul Train.
@@scottboswell6406 That's interesting, and now that you say it, I can hear it...lol
But as good as Hall and Oats were, I don't think they could have done it any better...
Great song!
He actually says "I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race" singular
Without comprehending that the race had long gone by....
Wow after all thus time I never noticed that nuance, crazy. Preeeesh
Yep I always loved that about this song
Wow! This was my first “couple song” with my very first real girlfriend. My sophomore & junior years of HS - Jenny. This was our song
I was a junior too when this was released!
As in 867-5309 Jenny?
@@wilwiener 😎
One of the BEST dance songs EVER!! I LOVED this song!!
This song, and Blister in the Sun by the Violent Femmes were two staples at clubs, and you heard them almost every night in the early 90s.
I love you man. My wife does too. Your reactions literally brings tears to my eyes. I don't know what it is, but your connection to humanity is a joy to watch. Thanks for making us happy.

A piece of the soundtrack from my teenage years, love it! 80's were the best.
Saw them live about a year and a half ago in Saratoga, CA. One of my favorite 80's songs! ;-)
This movie + song was "our song" when we first met back in 1983/84. Married now 35 years. Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovers out there.
Awesome song, thanks for posting! 💙
These guys did a quarantine video on this song. A must watch, just seeing how they have changed is worth it.
Yes!!! Modern English one of my Favorites 👊👍
In the top 10 of 80's songs! ❤
My husband and I have been married nearly 30 years and this is our song! Happy Valentine's Day!

Valley Girl ....on the movie soundtrack. A great movie for those of us who were teenagers in the 80’s.
Great British 80‘s Musik under the great Label 4AD ❤️
Thanks Jamel for this great reaction. I still love this.
High school days for me. Love this sing.
My DJ wannabe roommate while I was in the Marine Corps would play this one all the time... Came out when I was in 8th grade, wowswers 39 years ago...
This beat reminds me of "In a Big Country" by Big Country.

Used in one of my all time favorite movies with Nick Cage "Valley Girl" talk about love.
It was on Burger King commercials like 20 years ago! Great song!!! Keep going with 80s New Wave and Dark Wave!!
This song is on every mix tape made between 1983 and 1991.
Moonlight Feels Right - Starbuck (best ever marimba solo in a pop song)
The movie sound track deserves a listen. A. Moment in time it was the 80s totally
Google this song and the full lyrics come up. Keep the reactions coming. Love ya man!

Got to second base for the first time to this song. Good times!
From the movie "Valley Girls"" with a very young Nicholas Cage !!
And a gorgeous Deborah Foreman.
I’m with you Jamel, I just knew it was 80’s and use in a Bigger King commercial.

"Love My Way" - Pyschedelic Furs

Another great 80's song is Just Like Heaven from The Cure - Please react to that song when you get the chance!
This song has been in a lot of commercials too.
Yes I agree ❤
i believe this song was used in burger king's commercial

Spandau Ballet "True"
Melt with you = become one
A Rat in Mi Kitchen by UB40 is essential '80s. Talk about earworms. Or, you could also go with How Soon is Now by The Smiths.
Valley Girl (1983)!
When did the GROUND become the FLOOR??
Saw them in Daytona in, I think, '83.
This was my high school prom song mu jr. year.
Wow I'm old.
This song was THE prom song for so many schools during 86', 87', & 88'. I'd say AGAIN! The song just screams 80's!

Totally 'Eightiestastic --looking forward to Psychedelic Furs, Cocteau Twins, The The, and XTC reax from our gracious host...
You like this, you probably like:. Plimsouls 'Million Miles Away', Split Enz 'I Got You'
Burger King used the song for a commercial in 1990.
A great song that should have been better marketed. It actually failed to make the top 40 twice.

Do "You Might Think" by the Cars
Brother, you should take and watch the video of the same song which they've put out during the CV lockdown... you'll love it.
You should check out Flock of Seagulls 80's hits...if you liked this group..
Valley Girl!!!!!
This song reminds me of Burger King.
watch the movie valley girl with nicolas cage this song goes with that film
There's a little bit slower version of this, cover by Jason Mraz on the "50 first dates soundtrack" for me it sounds better
