Picture this. I grew up in a country, cowboy, ranching community in Texas. I saved up my money to buy a " cassette" recorder AND one of the first Go-Go's cassettes!!! I was definitely the outcast in my small country school. I LOVED BEING DIFFERENT!
The best compliment I ever got was in 1983, at age 23, in some bar in Galveston, Texas. Someone asked if I was in The Go-Go's. I was fresh in town from a big city, donned in my freshest new wave clothes and Belinda coif. It made my day!
@ People are crazy. The 60s and 70s were (not just) musically among the most extraordinarily creative years in human history. Along with the Age of Reason and the enlightenment with Leonardo, Newton etc. and then the industrial revolution with Faraday and Maxwell giving us the electrical world and then those remarkable first twenty or so years of the 20th century where our understanding of the universe was raised many levels by Einstein and Niels Bohr. The 80s was an awful period where the world became one big shop and it was better to be making cash rather than art. We are still suffering from the 80s. I agree the 60s was probably in the region of one million times better, seriously. Just look at a car from the 60s. We landed on the moon in 1969. Music, through inertia carried on with mixed results during the 80s, sure some was great but as the decade ended things were just looking bad. Not only that but listen to XRay Spex and Germ free Adolescents (1978) for an example of true genius from a true girl punk band, not some clean manufactured American copy and not the friggin Bangles or GoGos Christ on a bike!
when videos in the 80's were and are still fun to watch. I remember when MTV would "World Premier" a video. I was glued to the tv. Love the 80's. Best decade of music ever
I love their haircuts. The pinnacle of fashion at the time. The cutting edge. They all just look so dang good. Such a good song. I love Go-Gos more than I ever loved nearly any other 80s band. I sincerely wish they'd make a new album.
54 in a few months and - no change. My band just played a COVID show last night, first one since February and by gar it felt good! (Still love this song and Turn to You)
This is one of my wake up song for 5am. I can never hit the snooze button on this tune and for the next 3 minutes, I feel like I am back in the 80s. Until I turned on the bathroom lights and noticed it's been 35 years since my youth has left me behind. Hehe!! Glad this tune will always stay young and never expire.
I'm a heavy metal rocker from the 80s. 1985 was my senior yr .and u know what I really loved them and the bangals. I'm still a rock bass guitar player today at 57 yrs old. When I see 80s bands. Playing today it's still cool I said to my friends. Hay at the beginning of it all we were there. It makes me smile when I see teenager trying to play ower high school music. Chers to the 80s. It was an amazing time to be alive and young 🎉
Real band, real music, nothing artificial added. Unlike Ariana, Nikki, Fifth Harmony to name a few. Most of today's musician's couldn't compete live, no auto-tuner or lip syncing, real live music against most 80's musician's. You had to have real talent to make it in music industry back then.
Well, not so quick, buckeroo. During the formative years of The Go-Go's of 1981, at that "time", the girls were pretty good at harmonizing but at best, 'marginal' in their skills at recording and production, as it was producer Richard Gottehrer who had the experience, talent and overall creative insight to make their first hit single, "Our Lips Are Sealed" and their premiere album, "Beauty And The Beat" the classics they are today. Oh yes, and I.R.S. Records Miles Copeland's executive final stamp of approval, too! I always kinda wondered, how many "ghost musicians" where hired to play on that first album; a very popular, but secret & downplayed tactic of those times. I guess we shall never know...doesn't really matter at this point anymore. The millions of little "girl-power" teens who bought that first album back then, were successfully dooped into thinking that all that highly produced, carefully layered, finessed & refined, multi-tracked music, was "ALL" about them, and according to the recording industry, THAT'S what really mattered. And by-golly-gee, it worked! However, later as "Vacation", "Talk Show" and "God Bless The Go-Go's" were conceived & birthed, the five ladies since then, have grown and matured to become well accomplished & respected songwriters, musicians and co-producers. And, it all came to an integral, final and honorable close in the summer of 2016. Indeed, 'God Bless The Go-Go's'. - BCRadio/A. Ochoa
Agent MIB that's just silly. this is a terrific pop-rock song...but the women you named are all very talented and Ariana Grande is an absolutely phenomenal singer.
@@BolsaChicaRadio Put a sock in it. The Go-Go's were stage veterans and that's WHY they got to make records. Today's 'stars' are entirely creations of corporations.
I was in the grocery store today and this came on the store speakers. Well it always catches my attention but I was astounded to see a couple of young teenage boys moving to the music. There is hope! I've loved this song since it first came out when I was 24 and in the US Navy. I still have a crush on Jane!
Jane is dancing her ass off in the background!! She's so adorable and always looks like she's having a great time. I bet she would be a blast to hang out with
No, the Bangles are. Musicianship, they songs THEY THEMSELVES WROTE. There is no question. There is a video of a live show the Bangles did on MTV and most of the comments say something like "Wait, they're amazing. WHAT?"
@@janietrain I am in no way knocking the Bangles, but I would like to point out that many of their biggest hit singles were written by others--Prince wrote "Manic Monday," Paul Simon wrote "A Hazy Shade of Winter." The Go-Go's wrote all of their biggest hit singles themselves, aside from Terry Hall sharing a credit on "Our Lips Are Sealed."
I had two crushes in the 80s..Jane from The Go Gos and the actress who played Joan Of Arc in Bill & Ted’s. Wasn’t until years later I found out they’re BOTH Jane Wiedlin ❤
+Amber Paga: I guess its takes time. As in the case of Chicago, it took a while for them to induction along with Peter Cetera to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
You ain't kidding, James! Was born in '73 and trust me, the 80's were an incredible time to be a teenager, no question and music like this surely helped too! This and movies like 'Fast Times At Ridgemont High' certainly didn't hurt either! :-)...And you're right, everybody who wasn't born when we were to be able to enjoy this time, most certainly missed out!
The 80’s were the last era where everything appealed to the masses. Now everything is so specific in our entertainment/news that we are all in our own bubble. Back then you watched MTV for music, ESPN for sports, CNN for breaking news, HBO for movies and ABC, NBC and CBS for our weekly shows. Everyone was in tune as to what was going on with everything because you had to watch everything live and with the whole family.
What a bunch of talented and beautiful ladies. I love that riff near the end where that's back and forth rhythm with the bass player and the drummer. And the keyboard solo. Oh heck, the whole song is great. :)
I was messing with go-gos basslines one day and then was like "HOLY SHHHHt" Kathy's basslines are amazing. Melodic, and never obvious and certainly not basic. God Bless the GoGo's
doodles galore Gina Shock is the best player in the band. When they recorded Talk Show the producer wanted to use a drum machine for the whole album. The band fought him and won. Even the handclaps are real. Way to stick to your guns!
We were so blessed to have MTV land on our tv ( via cable) 24/7 the best songs with a video to boot genius! I was so addicted to it I want a new drug lol! we young folks all were older folks as well it was the best thing to happen to tv along with cable such good times wow
Why didn't this song hit #1?? Charlotte and Jane are geniuses and this band is SO under rated!! Listen to them and you will agree - sigh, I SO miss the 80s...
Ultra bright and rhythmically addictive; Head Over Heels is probably my favorite song by the Go Go's! And would you look at Belinda in this video! She's beaming from head to toe! Like a kid in a candy store, she's so happy and energetic lol! Love her hair, her makeup and wardrobe! Ah! The great ‘80s!
Love the go go’s - Literally what so cal looked and sounded like in the 80’s 2:28 : probably one of the best drum + bass breaks ever. Gina Schock is smashing the crap out of that kit.
Still the best Go Go's song hands down. Their playing was top notch by this time, the lyrics were smart and catchy, and the tune just great. Plus they were all smokin'.
Definitely. That punk look detracted so much. With her long dark hair, she looks so much better. The same can be said about Joan Jett. I always thought Gina Schock was prettiest.
@KILLING⚡HEROS It's a matter of taste. They're both fetching gals. Actually, they're all quite attractive. But, yes, I prefer Jane. From the moment I saw them on MTV, my attention focused on her. So watchable, so adorable. My taste. And the Go Go's rock!
Grew up in the 70s, but videos like this help me appreciate the 80s. What a fun time, with all the great pop music amplified by music videos, which were still new enough to be interesting. Feel the same way about Take On Me and Sussudio.
"Head Over Heels" is my favorite video and song by The Go-Go's. "Vacation" is my second favorite, and I love ALL the songs that The Go-Go's have recorded.. (I've probably heard ALL of them. Keep those songs coming, girls!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YA!!! from Kevin Ashwood, Roanoke, VA
Kevin Ashwood I loved the Go-Go's in my teen years in the 80's, I really did! LOVED their sound, no question and STILL love it now! Some things you just NEVER outgrow and the Go-Go's are one of them I'm happy to say! :-) Sad to hear Kathy Valentine's no longer with the group anymore because I thought she was an incredible bass player but the group STILL sounds awesome an STILL looks great all these years later! Thanks to the Go-Go's for making my teen years exceptionally enjoyable! :-) 'Beauty and The Beat' was EXCEPTIONAL! :-)
Lead vocalist Belinda Carlisle, was & Is the Greatest 'Front Woman' in a band, in the History of Ever. She Always Dances, so you Know she really Feels this music😍. She sings these songs from the depths of her soul. She recognizes the band members while she is Performing on stage. All 5 Can actually sing. All 5 have stage Chemistry. All 5 of these women had Grand talent that was way ahead of their time. They are Still talented. Each of them play their instruments with Talent that is Superior to any Male band. It wonderful that they have reunited to play & sing their Beautiful 'Happy Place' music. They Deserve to be IN the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
They finally made it into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2021! Long time coming but SO well deserved! These ladies inspired me to forge onward with a career in music - thank you💜
My roommates and I threw an 80s party in college in 1992, when 80s parties were still a novel idea. I made the mixtapes for the night and I specifically remember lining this one up to be one of the 4-5 "peak" songs of the evening, since it was well-known but sort of forgotten to time (unlike your Princes and Duran Durans of the world), and it gave you an immediate thrill hearing that piano opening. And sure enough, after a few hours of building up (and drinking), this one set off a mini pogoing "moshpit" in the living room. The breakdown at 2:30 where everything cuts out but the bassline and those loud handclaps is just irresistible.
Been running so long I've nearly lost all track of time In every direction I couldn't see the warning signs I must be losin' it Cause my mind plays tricks on me It looked so easy But you know looks sometimes deceive Been running so fast Right from the starting line No more connections I don't need any more advice One hand's just reaching out And one's just hangin' on It seems my weaknesses Just keep going strong [Chorus] Head over heels Where should I go Can't stop myself Outta control Head over heels No time to think Looks like The whole world's out of sync Been running so hard When what I need is to unwind The voice of reason Is one I left so far behind I waited so long So long to play this part And just remembered That I'd forgotten about my heart [Chorus] Songwriters: CHARLOTTE CAFFEY, KATHY VALENTINE
Yes, I'm going to talk mostly about the Go-Gos.... I was, and will always be a true Deadhead from the time I first saw them in 1985, but still had a great appreciation for talent in many genres. Maybe if Jerry Garcia was still alive, they could all play together! Hey, it would be damn interesting and entertaining, at the least. I always supported these strong feminists known as the Go-Gos. Feminism, to me, is when women celebrate their own unique sense of femininity, rather than letting society call the shots and the traditional roles, so bless you, Go-Gos! And btw, feminism, to me, is NOT about disliking or resenting men in the slightest!! Those ladies stayed positive! They represented healthy female empowerment to me.
LOVE THIS VID!! Belinda looks like the tomboy cutie next door, Jane looks like her hair is in bloom, 80's style, Charlotte looks like she can barely keep her eyes open (heroin, who knew?) Kathy looks tough and mean, like always...and Gina looks like the glue that held them all together!!
Omg, I haven't heard this in so long - it sounds SO GOOD!!! The Go-Gos were such a solid group, their music hasn't lost a thing, still sounds as great as ever!
I was fortunate enough to see the Go-Go's perform back in 1982. They played with the Flock of Seagulls to a sold-out crowd at Boutwell Auditorium, in Birmingham, Alabama. The concert was so full of excitement! It ranks as one of my all time favorites.
Agree, all very talented. Entire band could sing, play instruments. As I understand it, first all female band who could sing and all play an instrument. First of all female bands.
@@Mer364 Not really. The Runaways and The Slits in the 70s did it, as did Goldie and the Gingerbreads all the way back in 1962. There are probably some earlier still. That's taking nothing away from the Go-Gos, but it does go to show that there is nothing ever entirely new under the sun - everything in music builds on something else.
They played this today in my area rite aid lol I broke out my best impression of her dancing 🤣 my sis was like stop, someone reviewing the tapes tonight is going to be entertained. 💃
Picture this. I grew up in a country, cowboy, ranching community in Texas. I saved up my money to buy a " cassette" recorder AND one of the first Go-Go's cassettes!!! I was definitely the outcast in my small country school. I LOVED BEING DIFFERENT!
Original Female Band Singer,Drummer and guitar player!!!
Good times! Still makes me smile!
listening to this on my 57th birthday!!!! Brings me right back to 1984!!!!
I was born in 84.

LET'S HEAR it For the 80s. THE Greatest DECADE EVER
Hell yeah!!! The best ever!!

The 80s. The greatest 10 years in human history
@ People are crazy. The 60s and 70s were (not just) musically among the most extraordinarily creative years in human history.
Along with the Age of Reason and the enlightenment with Leonardo, Newton etc. and then the industrial revolution with Faraday and Maxwell giving us the electrical world and then those remarkable first twenty or so years of the 20th century where our understanding of the universe was raised many levels by Einstein and Niels Bohr.

Not only that but listen to XRay Spex and Germ free Adolescents (1978) for an example of true genius from a true girl punk band, not some clean manufactured American copy and not the friggin Bangles or GoGos Christ on a bike!
I was a college kid in the early 80s. They tell me that I had a great time.
This song is nearly 33 years old and I'd still listen to this over any of the best pop rock of the last few years. GoGos ROCK!
SFforlife and 0pool were were 0k
Dude I love it
SFforlife oldies but goodies
fun
There was pop rock in the last few years?
Gina Schock is awesome on drums.

I remember those 80s. We even stop going to parties on weekends just to sit until late around a tv to watch videos. Greatest times.
I totally agree.
Absolutely! It was just a blast. ❤️😎

This has been one of my favourite songs for over thirty years. Still makes me happy at 50 years old.
Same here
amen brother
I'm 65 and I remember when this song came out.
54 in a few months and - no change. My band just played a COVID show last night, first one since February and by gar it felt good! (Still love this song and Turn to You)
Kathy's bass line totally carries this song.
she wrote it!
So true I love Kathy
Kathy Valentine .
I love that Kathy Valentine!!
Gina Schock's drum solos really shine in this track.
Great song and band! I still miss The 80's I wish that I could go back.
As a kid I was very focused on the lead singer. Now as an adult I'm appreciating some really bad ass bass and drum work !
Speechless folks. These girls were way ahead of their time. I am still listening and grooving after all these years.
This is one of my wake up song for 5am. I can never hit the snooze button on this tune and for the next 3 minutes, I feel like I am back in the 80s. Until I turned on the bathroom lights and noticed it's been 35 years since my youth has left me behind. Hehe!! Glad this tune will always stay young and never expire.
Gina Shock's drumming: so underrated-ly effortless.
She drives the song like Clem Burke did for the more lively Blondie tracks
@@jollyjakelovell6822 Oh yeah!

I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that the 80s produced the most varied and spectacular songs of any decade before or after.
Yes, and the best rockers.
There was so much variety and innovation that the record execs had to force-introduce rap to stop it.
My favorite Gogos song. Always puts me in a good mood.
Best Go Gos video! Love this band.
Drummer is probably the best one to have coffee with. Just seems cool, likable and she's a solid drummer and fun to watch.

I want my MTV.
We didn’t get MTV until the following year, so Friday Night Videos and other shows like it had to do.
I was playing this on the radio in 1984.
Me!

I'm back!! Listening New year's day 2020!! Can't stop myself
Easily my favorite Go Go's song by far. So easy to sing to and you just can't help but move when you hear the beat.

They are, NOW!!! Finally 👍
Rock N Rock Hall of Fame is an industry promotion event, not a badge of merit. The Go Go's don't need no stinkin' Hall of Fame induction.
Oh the 70's and 80's was such a great time to grow up in... Everybody else missed out !!

the BEST! 🌺
John Grepo: Gina *Schock*.
they started on stiff records. then went to IRS. do shut the fuck up.
Gina may not have played flashy, but she was a freaking human metronome. Always dead on the beat.
not gonna lie, one of the most under rated bass lines of all time
I'd never really thought of it, but when you listen to this on your headphones you're like man, Valentine totally kills it.
Rhythm section is why they were good .
@@davidgee2988 because Valentine co-wrote it the bassline is especially good:)
I was messing with go-gos basslines one day and then was like "HOLY SHHHHt" Kathy's basslines are amazing. Melodic, and never obvious and certainly not basic. God Bless the GoGo's
Funny because apparently she was the guitarrist and just moved to bass because the original played left. She learned in 4 days.
Love the Drummer. Fantastic
Totally represents the fun, innocent and carefree times of the 80s.
doodles galore
Gina Shock is the best player in the band. When they recorded Talk Show the producer wanted to use a drum machine for the whole album. The band fought him and won. Even the handclaps are real. Way to stick to your guns!
YOU STOLE THIS COMMENT WORD FOR WORD
Gina Schock is a monster on the drums. Eat your heart out, Ringo
Innocent my ass !!!!!!! These girls were far from innocent . They partied so hard they lived the lifestyle like punk rockers in CBGB !
@@luvspaiste gina shock is my girl
Young, simple and raw sound. great 80's song!
These girls are SO cute. Boy, are they great musicians. Luv em!
You know why the girls all have big smiles on their faces? Because they know they just made a GREAT song.
The hair, the big earrings, the sweater shirts, it's all there, the eighties for sure.
Dan M Big sweaters are back, ya!!!
"effin' A".
Belinda Carlyle is too cute for measure.
Sweaters and big earrings are trendy now. Sadly, from the looks of it, the hair seems like a fad...
And the girls weren't all tattooed up everywhere. Much better look in my opinion.
But shouldn't she be wearing heels for this song?
We were so blessed to have MTV land on our tv ( via cable) 24/7 the best songs with a video to boot genius! I was so addicted to it I want a new drug lol! we young folks all were older folks as well it was the best thing to happen to tv along with cable such good times wow

Saw the Go Go's "Talk Show" tour in '84, INXS opened. Good times!
Looks and sounds as sweet today as back in the sweet 80's!!!!
Would have loved to have partied with these ladies ! 80s forever !
Still fantastic after all these years. LONG LIVE THE GO-GO'S!!!
I miss this kind of music. This was great, they were fantastic.
This right here is why they were the most succesful all female band in history. The sheer talent. And Belinda...beautiful, beautiful, Belinda... 😂😂
@@orlandopockets6372 Just because you're uneducated doesn't mean anyone is making stuff up. Google is your friend.
Yes they def were the most successful female band. They’ve got a great sound

Still the best Go Go's song hands down. Their playing was top notch by this time, the lyrics were smart and catchy, and the tune just great. Plus they were all smokin'.
Especially the drummer
Agree, especially Jane Wiedlin!
1984 absolutely kicked ass! Gorgeous girls, arcades everywhere, best weed and can’t beat all the great diverse music!
Kathy Valentine's beauty was so underrated.
Definitely. That punk look detracted so much. With her long dark hair, she looks so much better. The same can be said about Joan Jett. I always thought Gina Schock was prettiest.
Omg growing up With the GoGos was the best.!!! Love you Belinda Carlisle
@KILLING⚡HEROS It's a matter of taste. They're both fetching gals. Actually, they're all quite attractive.
But, yes, I prefer Jane. From the moment I saw them on MTV, my attention focused on her. So watchable, so adorable. My taste. And the Go Go's rock!
Grew up in the 70s, but videos like this help me appreciate the 80s. What a fun time, with all the great pop music amplified by music videos, which were still new enough to be interesting. Feel the same way about Take On Me and Sussudio.
Jane! Still in love with her since 1981!
"Head Over Heels" is my favorite video and song by The Go-Go's. "Vacation" is my second favorite, and I love ALL the songs that The Go-Go's have recorded.. (I've probably heard ALL of them. Keep those songs coming, girls!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YA!!! from Kevin Ashwood, Roanoke, VA
Kevin Ashwood I loved the Go-Go's in my teen years in the 80's, I really did! LOVED their sound, no question and STILL love it now! Some things you just NEVER outgrow and the Go-Go's are one of them I'm happy to say! :-)
Sad to hear Kathy Valentine's no longer with the group anymore because I thought she was an incredible bass player but the group STILL sounds awesome an STILL looks great all these years later! Thanks to the Go-Go's for making my teen years exceptionally enjoyable! :-)
'Beauty and The Beat' was EXCEPTIONAL! :-)
Incredible percussion and keyboard work. I always liked the “detonating piano” sight
gag and thought there might have been one for the drums, too.
Lead vocalist Belinda Carlisle, was & Is the Greatest 'Front Woman' in a band, in the History of Ever. She Always Dances, so you Know she really Feels this music😍. She sings these songs from the depths of her soul. She recognizes the band members while she is Performing on stage. All 5 Can actually sing. All 5 have stage Chemistry.
All 5 of these women had Grand talent that was way ahead of their time. They are Still talented. Each of them play their instruments with Talent that is Superior to any Male band. It wonderful that they have reunited to play & sing their Beautiful 'Happy Place' music. They Deserve to be IN the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Belinda's look and dance pre dates George Michael in his Wham Wake me up before you Go-Go
I could watch the drummer all day long. You can tell She LOVES playing the drums & she's REALLY professional/talented at what she does !!!
Gina had started playing drums at age 10.
Their early single “ our lips are sealed” is a very well written and performed pop song in every way. Super catchy.
One of my best New Wave female band group, The Go -Gos.
Please take me back to the 80's
Good rhythm section. Jane is actually a great rhythm guitar player!
And so damn cute with a voice to match.
Watched the documentary twice on showtime, loved em in 80s and came streaming back!
They finally made it into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2021! Long time coming but SO well deserved! These ladies inspired me to forge onward with a career in music - thank you💜
Great band!
Songs enjoy so much 1980s classic hits on radio stations. Love this song.
Mulheres talentosíssimas. Oh época boa, que não vivi, mas sinto muita falta. 😔
My roommates and I threw an 80s party in college in 1992, when 80s parties were still a novel idea. I made the mixtapes for the night and I specifically remember lining this one up to be one of the 4-5 "peak" songs of the evening, since it was well-known but sort of forgotten to time (unlike your Princes and Duran Durans of the world), and it gave you an immediate thrill hearing that piano opening. And sure enough, after a few hours of building up (and drinking), this one set off a mini pogoing "moshpit" in the living room. The breakdown at 2:30 where everything cuts out but the bassline and those loud handclaps is just irresistible.
Seen 'em live in 1983, everyone of the floor of the coliseum danced the whole show.
I always loved this song! I used to play it on the jukebox at the video arcade over and over. Man, those were the days!
Along with Pac Man!
Saw the Go-Gos in 1982 when they opened for The Police (Ghost in the Machine tour). They were great.
Been running so long
I've nearly lost all track of time
In every direction
I couldn't see the warning signs
I must be losin' it
Cause my mind plays tricks on me
It looked so easy
But you know looks sometimes deceive
Been running so fast
Right from the starting line
No more connections
I don't need any more advice
One hand's just reaching out
And one's just hangin' on
It seems my weaknesses
Just keep going strong
[Chorus]
Head over heels
Where should I go
Can't stop myself
Outta control
Head over heels
No time to think
Looks like
The whole world's out of sync
Been running so hard
When what I need is to unwind
The voice of reason
Is one I left so far behind
I waited so long
So long to play this part
And just remembered
That I'd forgotten about my heart
[Chorus]
Songwriters: CHARLOTTE CAFFEY, KATHY VALENTINE
They wrote their own songs... great lyrics
2:28 : probably one of the best drum + bass breaks ever.
No question about it.
Absolutely, and they had such FUN with it. You can see it on their faces.
The bass line in this song is amazing.
Yeaaaaaaa
That's called the bridge. . .
In this song there was the essence of '80
100 percent
One of the very best instrumental breaks ever, and try clapping along with it.
80''s was such a great time to be in as teen.
Tyler L That is so true! I graduated high school in 1983 and I’ll be 54 yrs old in 2 months. 80s music friggin rocked!
Me in 86
Yes, I'm going to talk mostly about the Go-Gos....
I was, and will always be a true Deadhead from the time I first saw them in 1985, but still had a great appreciation for talent in many genres. Maybe if Jerry Garcia was still alive, they could all play together! Hey, it would be damn interesting and entertaining, at the least. I always supported these strong feminists known as the Go-Gos. Feminism, to me, is when women celebrate their own unique sense of femininity, rather than letting society call the shots and the traditional roles, so bless you, Go-Gos! And btw, feminism, to me, is NOT about disliking or resenting men in the slightest!! Those ladies stayed positive! They represented healthy female empowerment to me.
I saw them in 84 , down in front about 20 feet away , awesome show ,.
It was the best time!
My favorite Go Go's song.
They had some of the best hooks of the 80s.
I was a groupie living on the tour bus from 84 - 86. Wish I could remember it.
Beautiful ladies who worked hard and played harder (especially live). I wish they would have stayed together.
Yes indeed! - class of 84
LOVE THIS VID!! Belinda looks like the tomboy cutie next door, Jane looks like her hair is in bloom, 80's style, Charlotte looks like she can barely keep her eyes open (heroin, who knew?) Kathy looks tough and mean, like always...and Gina looks like the glue that held them all together!!
I LOVE The GO GOs...they are adorable!..and this is one of their best songs..
Great music, great hair, great clothes ❤❤❤grew up in the 80’s.
My senior year back i high school this song 1984-85
Omg, I haven't heard this in so long - it sounds SO GOOD!!! The Go-Gos were such a solid group, their music hasn't lost a thing, still sounds as great as ever!
Kathy is back in the band!
Back in the 80's I was in love with Belinda Carlisle, but she didn't know it.
Multiply by thousands.
F
God!! Who wasn't! Lol! What a Doll she was... 😉
Love this song by The Go-Go's!! Belinda Carlisle is cute!! Barbara Mozie 🙂
My favorite song by the Go Go's
Too fast to dance, though.
I was fortunate enough to see the Go-Go's perform back in 1982. They played with the Flock of Seagulls to a sold-out crowd at Boutwell Auditorium, in Birmingham, Alabama. The concert was so full of excitement! It ranks as one of my all time favorites.
I appreciate that these ladies are all talented and fully-clothed. Not something you see either of very often these days.
AMEN!!! And the music was just fun, happy music. No hate, demeaning & degrading women... just good music! 😊😍
Agree, all very talented. Entire band could sing, play instruments. As I understand it, first all female band who could sing and all play an instrument. First of all female bands.
not off stage...do some reading on their background.
@@Mer364 Not really. The Runaways and The Slits in the 70s did it, as did Goldie and the Gingerbreads all the way back in 1962. There are probably some earlier still. That's taking nothing away from the Go-Gos, but it does go to show that there is nothing ever entirely new under the sun - everything in music builds on something else.
and in perfect normal weight & not super skinny or fake butts lips tits face nails!
They played this today in my area rite aid lol I broke out my best impression of her dancing 🤣 my sis was like stop, someone reviewing the tapes tonight is going to be entertained. 💃
thats what I do when I hear the gogos in the store...do the Belinda...
Well done !
o
Dunno what you just said, Miss Faraway, but I love it. Continue on!
She is lame for telling you to stop
I need more Go Gos in my life, just puts me in a good mood which doesn’t happen much lately.
