Hahaha yup. His facial expressions and his rock n roll antics crack me up. I always feel like I’m watching Saturday night live episode from back in the day
@@TheGeenat That's one of the things that made Eddie so endearing, that he didn't take himself too seriously. He was one of the class acts of the business, RIP.
RIP Ronnie Spector (August 10, 1943 - January 12, 2022), aged 78 And RIP Eddie Money (March 21, 1949 - September 13, 2019), aged 70 You both will be remembered as legends.
RIP ♥️ 🙏 to both legend s that was the real time music . It will never be like those good times I was born in 84 and my name is Ronnie much luv too all 👍♥️🙏
Without Ronnie - at best - this is a mediocre Eddie Money song, and the video would be absolutely lame. With her, it’s awesome. Thanks Eddie, for finding her back then in the 80’s and introducing her to an entirely new generation. That was a very cool move.
Ronnie was 43 in this video!! When i was a little kid in the 80's, i thought she was the sexiest woman on the planet. And now at 45, i was a pretty smart kid!
I never knew, until now, that this song was singing about the song - Be My Baby - The Ronettes (with the lead singer Ronnie Spector singing in both songs!) Both are nostalgic classic songs. 😀
This song just proves three things, 1. Eddie Money was one of the most underrated solo artists 2. The saxophone is never a bad instrument to use 3. Ronnie was one of the best, rest in peace Ronnie and Eddie
Had my nieces over a few weeks ago and they were confused by my record collection. We spent the next few hours listening to it while we went over some photo albums and I told them about how much their mom loved going to the roller rink. My sister called to tell me I'd created a pair of monsters.
The other two songs that were hits in the late 1970's but this one tops them both. I have heard it several times and thought it was great. I wondered who owned the girls' voice in the background it was a great mix. I forgot that she also passed away as well. I just found out it was Ronnie Spector. Oh yeah Eddie Money was fantastic in the brief saxaphone solo.
It's 1987, I'm driving my dad's '85 LeSabre, my girlfriend Cindy's in the passenger seat with her feet up on the dashboard singing along to this on the radio. Heaven man...
Was it Blue? Ah ya Glane. The good days. I was 19 turning 20 july 1987. I was able to drive my Mom's 72 Firebird. Did not have a steady girlfriend, but I did have a friend. Her name was Cindy also. Lol. God bless. Great times.
You really had to be there to understand what it meant to see Ronnie actually in the video.She was our parents girl & they were so glad to see her still standing.Whoever wrote the treatment for this video was a genius building up to her finally popping up on screen.Eddie is tuning up his sax waiting for Ronnie to walk in 💔R.I.P to both legends 😍
@@micanikko well basically Eddie brought Back Roonie to the industry, one phone call and she went from a retired singer turned housewife, to a come back sensation, she even made a record called "un finish business" after this great song came out.
I will always be a product of the 80's. No matter how successful and interesting I am in my 50,s, now, I will never be as cool as I thought I was in 1986...
@Molly Rain i agree with that I'm 50 I've seen some of the 70s and that was fun as well as the 80s some great stuff was going down then ....run dmc and bestie boys anyone?! lolol also them new kids ! man every girl ever where loved those guys ha ha ha lil bit of the 90s as well oh also metallic can't forget them they started my metal music love till this day 😅 anywho the 80s where great indeed !!!
Love this classic. They harmonize so well together!❤ One of my many favorites. Ronnie had an incredibly powerful, unique & soulful voice & Eddie had an awesome, impressively powerful voice also. Unforgettable song that you could never get tired of.😊
Yes. Very true. It was sad to hear that these 2 legends died. However, always look up. Because they are always looking down on us. ALWAYS. R.I.P Ronnie Spector and Eddie Money. We love you.
And one of the most important historical musical moments of all time. Ronnie coming out of the darkness both figuratively and metaphorically, and back into the light after over a decade of unspeakable abuse. Eddie had the biggest balls to take on Phil Spector at that time.
Eddie is the man and always will be!! This song he did for Ronnie Spector "Be my Baby" as a tribute! Legend has it he called Ronnie and she was alllllllll about it!! And is in the video looking amazing!!!! Eddie Rules!!!!!
Actually Ronnie first didnt want to do the song, becuase she wasnt in the buisness for so long thanks to Phil Spector, but Eddie persuaded her it did kinda revive her career afyer being oit of the music industry for soo long, the rest is history, on that note Ronnie had a very bad marriage to Phil Spector he was a very controlling man and set out to ruin Ronnie in the music industry threatening to kill her if she left him kept her royaltys ect, and he even went to great lengths taking her shoes and locking them away so she wouldnt leave him, Ronnie eventually left Phil, walked out with just what she had on and no shoes true story..
@@divablues73 Yep, she literally had to escape him, a very wise move considering what Phil did later. He turned out to be a much more terrible person than he already was for the torment that he dealt out to Ronnie...a true monster. If she hadn't escaped, she very likely would have wound up as poor Lana Clarkson did.
From the husky voice of Ronnie to the crushed-velvet croon of Eddie, from the slick synth playing to the pounding drums, from the lush sax to the hypnotic guitar, this song transcends mere "classic" status. It's a bloody brilliant piece of rock-craft. And despite being almost 40 years old, it still packs as much of a kick to the jaw now as it did back then.
RIP Ronnie & Eddie. Was a kid when I first heard this song. Absolute magic. I think it is sheer genius the way this song incorporates the Be My Baby original
That woman was 43 years old at the time, she looked amazing! 🔥 Eddie didn't care for the song, but he did it for Ronnie. And it helped him as well, reviving both their careers
All the times I heard this song, I never knew who the singer was mentioning, "Just like Ronnie says." Thanks to this video, I know it refers to Ronnie Spectrum of the Ronnets. May they both rest in peace.
This is one of Eddie Money's big hits. And its a song that truly appeals to anyone who has ever listened to his music, R.I.P. Eddie. You may be gone, but your music will live on!
@@firebladex8586 Trolls know everything and seriously if your so convicted to what you write here your doing a poor job convincing people otherwise since you know who actually goes to hell and who does not
With more heavenly Choir massived it's getting like Aretha Franklin and George Michael many many more others legends of the game over the years of History 60plus and counting from the Day The Music Died to now
16 years old but I am still so grateful to have a grandfather that exposed me to this golden era of music. If I could time travel, I would 🤘 R.I.P Eddie
I think everyone would lol. The 80s and 90s were of a time alot of stuff and tech was starting to happen. Everyone that lived through it may not even have noticed but looking back now it's crazy. It also was a much simpler time
I've only recently become aware that it was Ronnie Spector singing backup and making an appearance; I had to do research online to discover that tidbit. I'm glad she accepted Eddie Money's offer (I mean, he's Money!), and I agree with you, she really brought something to the stage here with her "Be My Baby" update for the 1980s.
I heard he originally wanted Grace Slick to do the song with him but she suggested he use Ronnie Spector instead since she had done Be My Baby with her group The Ronnettes
Yes! I loved the 70s. Yet I felt at the time the late 60s and early 70s were the best. They still are! Yet in retrospect, that sound of the 80s cannot be bested! :-)
Eddie money and Ronnie Spector great duet what a great music icons these people were Eddie and Ronnie you are both in music heaven right now as we speak 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵 love RIP Eddie and Ronnie
So awesome. One of my favorite songs. This rejuvenated Ronnie Spector’s career after basically being a prisoner of Phil Spector for years. She was so beautiful and talented. Both are gone now. So sad.
It wasn't just her voice.. she was something special. There was this guy John that met her and he fell head over heels in love. Of course Ronnie literally belonged to Phil Specter at the time. So it was over before it started. John was sad and decided to go "all in" when he met a conceptual artist in London several months later. The young artist's name was Yoko. Yoko Ono. The rest is history.
This song never gets old. This is Money’s greatest hit. The Music Video says it all. I love the build up of Ronnie in the silhouette as you only hear her voice. When she shows up, it is a highlight that she is still as beautiful as she was 30 some years ago then in 1986. RIP to both Eddie and Ronnie. You may still be gone but you will always be missed.
I would love to go back in your Time Machine and I am always going back in time! I totally agree with you! I am a woman, but I love how Ronnie shines through the darkness and is highlighted in this song in a beautiful silhouette. Eddie looks hot, and I always love him and his voice. Eddie had much musical talent, (God I love him playing saxophone) and I love all of the songs, and I love this duet!❤️
Listening to this again on January 12, 2022, after hearing about Ronnie's passing, and imagining them singing this together in heaven. (3:21) seems such a fitting shot now. She's been taken home. R.I.P. Veronica "Ronnie" Bennett Spector August 10, 1943 -- January 12, 2022). R.I.P. Edward "Eddie Money" Mahoney (March 21, 1949 -- September 13, 2019).
Yes I'm listening - it still rocks like it did back after my high school football games (class of '87) - at the wild parties - all of you that think you missed something unreal in the '80s - you did! We partied with the gods!
Except possibly Nirvana Smashing Pumpkins Pavement Radiohead Oasis Pearl Jam PJ Harvey Red Hot Chili Peppers POE Garbage Gin Blossoms Wallflowers Counting Crows Soundgarden Alice In Chains Blur Weezer Foo Fighters Liz Phair Cranberries Jeff Buckley Alanis Morrissette Morrissey Sheryl Crow Green Day Beastie Boys R.E.M. I’m not necessarily a fan of all those artists, but I enjoy that era of Radio Rock much more than the Radio Rock of the ‘80’s.
I don’t. Because back then you had to rely on luck and patience for videos like this to play on MTV. Now you can watch your favorite music videos any time you want.

🎉 100%
The only thing that I have loved about the 2000’s is my daughter being born. Other than that, I need the 80’s back.
I hear ya!..Songs like this take me back to some of the best times of my life
Back when the western world wasnt a third world hellscape
Was born 89... I try and brag and say I was alive for 8 months of the 80s. Will be 35 April 4th

I just heard. Now she's singing with him in heaven .
God took her home tonight. RIP Ronnie. ☹🙏✝️🕊
CLASSY move on his part. He knew nobody but Ronnie could sing that part. RIP to both
@@portabletiger I always like when opposite in music do a duet together. Its usually a very successful song that will always be remembered. 😃👍
@@thomasbelisle6093 Indeed :)
I love that Ronnie Spector sings in background!!! ❤
Her voice is so beautiful!❤
Me too I hate that she’s gone. She had a beautiful voice
That also sounds like Cindy Lauper.
I love that Keith Richards still calls her Ronnie Bennett.
I remember he said NO one else could sing that 'be my little baby' line but Ronnie. And he was right. This is pure magic.
He asked someone else first, she said why don't you get Ronnie.
RIP Eddie and Ronnie ❤❤❤❤😂❤❤
Yes❤
RIP Ronnie Spector! She added so much to this song!
She really did.
I agree. The song is just ok without her.
Just like Ronnie said, I wait for her part & love her voice 😍 ❤️
Her track hits so hard on this song!
Without Ronnie - at best - this is a mediocre Eddie Money song, and the video would be absolutely lame. With her, it’s awesome. Thanks Eddie, for finding her back then in the 80’s and introducing her to an entirely new generation. That was a very cool move.
Ronnie singing those "oh, oh, oh" refrains gave me the chills. What a voice!
Same here
you said it, classic!
Me TOO!
Would you know that she died the next day! Sad, a rock legend left us.
r.i.p
ronnie
Ronnie was 43 in this video!! When i was a little kid in the 80's, i thought she was the sexiest woman on the planet. And now at 45, i was a pretty smart kid!
Check out the Letterman video of her with Eddie doing this song live on Letterman.
She's smoking fireass hot as hell there.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns I don't think ive ever seen it, but i gotta check it now
I never knew, until now, that this song was singing about the song - Be My Baby - The Ronettes (with the lead singer Ronnie Spector singing in both songs!) Both are nostalgic classic songs. 😀
This song just proves three things,
1. Eddie Money was one of the most underrated solo artists
2. The saxophone is never a bad instrument to use
3. Ronnie was one of the best, rest in peace Ronnie and Eddie
The saxophone 🎷 was used a lot in the 1980s in most songs.
The most famous example of saxophone use in an 80s song is Careless Whisper by George Michael
@@93seronica That and Born to Run, RIP Clarence
I totally agree
Facts
There are certain 80's songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
I agree. For me it's this song and SATURDAY LOVE from Cherrelle (1985??)
I was just thinking how it's sad I'll never get that time back, but grateful for the memories I have, so I know what you're saying
I was born in 96 but this song is AMAZING, simply timeless. It’ll transcend endless generations
Had my nieces over a few weeks ago and they were confused by my record collection. We spent the next few hours listening to it while we went over some photo albums and I told them about how much their mom loved going to the roller rink. My sister called to tell me I'd created a pair of monsters.
I wasn’t even born in the 80s and I get what you mean a feel good song tied to memories of the past
Eddie and the original bad girl of rock, may you both rest in heaven rocking out
I'm here in 2024. Awesome song. 🎶 😃👍
Me too!
Me too and i agree
DITTO!
Good for you 🤡
This song never gets old....R.I.P. Eddie and Ronnie. Voices forever missed.

This song wasn’t catchy…. It was infectious! One of the best songs of the 80’s.

With Ronnie's recent demise this video brings tears to my eyes. It will live on and on!

I was watching her perform when she was young in the 60s...she definitely was a talent it's a shame what that monster did to her.
Money nailed this 80s rock anthem with Spector raising it to another level with her part.
If you think about it, this is one of the best duets in rock history. RIP Ronnie and Eddie.
I said jst like Ronnie sang!
That’s a fact 😉

Everything was completely different as well.

It’s a great song and Spectors vocal is what takes it to the next level. She adds something really special to the song and the video.

IT SHOULD. The 80's are long gone so move on lol
Actually this is one of the few songs and singers that was any good in the 80's
All time Classic progressive rock Era replayed again 2024! " gotta Love this Jam 🎶🎙🎸
One of the best songs ever! Goosebumps when Ronnie sings!
Eddie Money was way ahead of his time. He was singing to a Covid audience even back in 1986.
haha. That's cute and funny
And they voted 80 million times for Bio-Bido Den
LMAOOOOOOOOOO
@@John231984and very special just like da creeper sniffer
Lmao
Both singers left us way too early in life. Eddie and Ronnie will always be with us as long as their music is played.
Facts
she was nearly 80 and he was 70 and lived a rockers life that is pretty darn good
Way too early? She was like 78. She wasn't a spring chicken anymore. But yes, sad she is gone
@@janeporter818 not fact. She was almost 80. Pretty old
Eddie money I love your music brother rest up. Thanks for the great memories and great music forever live on.
Gives me goosebumps
Everyone know Eddie MUST loved this song!!!! doesn't care what Year!
16 years old but I am still so grateful to have a grandfather that exposed me to this golden era of music. If I could time travel, I would 🤘 R.I.P Eddie
15 and my grandfather just got me into this music again to lol
I think everyone would lol. The 80s and 90s were of a time alot of stuff and tech was starting to happen. Everyone that lived through it may not even have noticed but looking back now it's crazy. It also was a much simpler time
@@ryanprocunier85381973 baby here, I definitely noticed it and I’m still always amazed at what keeps coming.❤
I feel extra old now. 50 is very close, and the years go by quicker. Enjoy your youth.
"grandfather"!!
Rest in Peace, Eddie and Ronnie! You created a masterpiece!

RIP Eddie... and now RIP Ronnie... two awesome musical legends... now duet again. Thanks for your music
Kids today will never understand! 😀👍
I love you andy .
R.i.p eddie and ronnie
The 80s were one of the best decades ever. Eddie Money was a legend, and this was his best song imo
It was THE best decade. Trust me. I was a teenager in the 80's. It was awesome dude.
sorry, but 70's>80's. I listen to a lot of music from both tho
Mines too!! 2021 and still listening ! Rock on!!
Right on !!
I wish I could of live in the 80s
Love that strut, two legends doing their thing!!
Cant stop watching this
I heard Eddie really had to beg Ronnie to collaborate with him on this song. I’m glad she agreed because it wouldn’t have been the same without her.
According to interviews with her, when he got a hold of her and sang it to her over the phone, she loved it and immediately agreed.
I've only recently become aware that it was Ronnie Spector singing backup and making an appearance; I had to do research online to discover that tidbit. I'm glad she accepted Eddie Money's offer (I mean, he's Money!), and I agree with you, she really brought something to the stage here with her "Be My Baby" update for the 1980s.
Woman was very tasty to say the least.
I heard he originally wanted Grace Slick to do the song with him but she suggested he use Ronnie Spector instead since she had done Be My Baby with her group The Ronnettes
@@jakethesnake-eb9zt Cool info.
RIP Ronnie! Such a class act may her and Eddie rest in peace!
2024 still listening
They don’t make songs like this anymore we really have to appreciate this ⭐
Emotional and energetic. The best melody and duo ever.
RIP Ronnie Spector. Great talent as well as Eddie Money.
Nothing can compare to this sound of the 80's...👍
Yes! I loved the 70s. Yet I felt at the time the late 60s and early 70s were the best. They still are! Yet in retrospect, that sound of the 80s cannot be bested! :-)

1970s can
The 80’s was THE DECADE!
The nostalgia 💖
Eddie money and Ronnie Spector great duet what a great music icons these people were Eddie and Ronnie you are both in music heaven right now as we speak 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵 love RIP Eddie and Ronnie
Imagine Eddie laying into this in heaven and Ronnie strolling through the pearly gates singing this classic line.
So sweet 💕
Beautiful I can also imagine Eddie Ronnie and her sister Estelle who passed in 2009 performing this song in Heaven with Estelle singing background
Hahahaha creative 🤔
May both Eddie and Ronnie finally have peace up in rock 'n roll heaven!
中２の時にあるバラエティー番組をたまたま見てこの歌のＰV見てなんてカッチョいい歌だと五感刺激され初めて買った洋楽レコードがこのエディ・マネーのテイク・ミーホームトゥナイトでしたねぇ😀
So awesome. One of my favorite songs. This rejuvenated Ronnie Spector’s career after basically being a prisoner of Phil Spector for years. She was so beautiful and talented. Both are gone now. So sad.
Is it just me or is her voice freaking awesome?
PHUCKING AMAZING!...
He was fantastic but if she was not on this song it would not be the same ❤
It wasn't just her voice..
she was something special.
There was this guy John that met her and he fell head over heels in love.
Of course Ronnie literally belonged to Phil Specter at the time. So it was over before it started. John was sad and decided to go "all in" when he met a conceptual artist in London several months later. The young artist's name was Yoko.
Yoko Ono.
The rest is history.
@@GayleTate I have to agree! But the push is I believe. Eddie would've arranged it differently.
I come back to watch this video / song often. I was just thinking Exactly the Same thing…
Eddie Money is Great BUT…. Ronnie Owns this Song 🎶
Classic rock is why they call it classic
Seen concert Long Beach Stadium 1976 and loved his music from then on, there all great music!
This song never gets old. This is Money’s greatest hit. The Music Video says it all. I love the build up of Ronnie in the silhouette as you only hear her voice. When she shows up, it is a highlight that she is still as beautiful as she was 30 some years ago then in 1986.
RIP to both Eddie and Ronnie. You may still be gone but you will always be missed.
The way they introduced her into the video was really, really special.
I would love to go back in your Time Machine and I am always going back in time! I totally agree with you! I am a woman, but I love how Ronnie shines through the darkness and is highlighted in this song in a beautiful silhouette. Eddie looks hot, and I always love him and his voice. Eddie had much musical talent, (God I love him playing saxophone) and I love all of the songs, and I love this duet!❤️
Listening to this again on January 12, 2022, after hearing about Ronnie's passing, and imagining them singing this together in heaven. (3:21) seems such a fitting shot now. She's been taken home.
R.I.P. Veronica "Ronnie" Bennett Spector August 10, 1943 -- January 12, 2022). R.I.P. Edward "Eddie Money" Mahoney (March 21, 1949 -- September 13, 2019).
Ronnie should've been credited for this too. She was amazing.
Um... She was. I was a teenager when this came out and she was 💯 celebrated for it.
Yes I'm listening - it still rocks like it did back after my high school football games (class of '87) - at the wild parties - all of you that think you missed something unreal in the '80s - you did! We partied with the gods!
Nothing will ever be as great as 80s music
Agree 10000%
Except possibly Nirvana Smashing Pumpkins Pavement Radiohead Oasis Pearl Jam PJ Harvey Red Hot Chili Peppers POE Garbage Gin Blossoms Wallflowers Counting Crows Soundgarden Alice In Chains Blur Weezer Foo Fighters Liz Phair Cranberries Jeff Buckley Alanis Morrissette Morrissey Sheryl Crow Green Day Beastie Boys R.E.M. I’m not necessarily a fan of all those artists, but I enjoy that era of Radio Rock much more than the Radio Rock of the ‘80’s.
Amen my brother
Omg nothing like the 80s. We didn't know what we had. I'm 56 now. "I want to go back"
54 definitely
I don’t. Because back then you had to rely on luck and patience for videos like this to play on MTV. Now you can watch your favorite music videos any time you want.
made those moments more precious@@Kazilikaya
U and me both
I’m the same age I’m with you I wanna go back
