For those who are new to this song: safe sex refers to AIDS; Ronnie's got a new gun refers to President Reagan.
In the context of the times the "new gun" refers to the start of the "Star Wars" space based defense strategy that Ronald "Raygun Ronnie" advanced which bankrupted the USSR and led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and relative freedom for half of Europe. Gains of course we are now throwing away over NATO needing to have a dick-waving contest. Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Two Tribes was another excellent song highlighting the stupidity of the boys in charge.
The 80's and AIDS always reminds me of this unused line in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. th-cam.com/video/KbZgdgBoGhE/w-d-xo.html
And his nuclear arsenal...
Who does illegals refer to?
Thank you for that information very interesting 👍
This song came out while Eastern Europe regimes were falling. So it looked like the Cold War was won by the West. It was a time that after decades of tension and fear of nuclear annihilation, we had no more enemies. The future looked like it would be peace. China was our friend. Eastern Europeans were clamoring for goods, especially bananas, for some reason. Unfortunately, that feeling of freedom has not lasted.
Yep. I grew up in that time. Everything was about Russia vs. the US and the Cold War tension. Movies reflected it (all the foreign enemies were the Russians/communists). In the mid-80's, there was a massive explosion at a refinery that was about 8 miles away from my house. The guy who lived behind me came out into his yard screaming "The Russians dropped the bomb! The Russians dropped the bomb!".
It was only a feeling.
Anyone who understood anything could tell that: the ideas and future you iterate above was NOT coming or happening!
...however: yes: most people (certainly Americans) 🤷🤷🤦/ ignorantly or foolishly, refused to recognize or acknowledge that.
Now we are where we are (and *I*, bitterly, regret all of the things which I could see having been improved & dealt with wisely ...prepared for
...but weren't.)
...but most don't seem any wiser or more informed (or with any better capability at accurate, useful analysis).
...and: the debilitating problems and issues which are ongoing ("already here!") as well as: which can. clearly, be SEEN/RECOGNIZED coming:
those are NOT-AT-ALL being address or prepared for (which they must be).
I don't want to see the world in 25 years.
It will be an unmitigated horror.
😡🤬👎
@@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra You obviously are too young to have grown up during the actual times of the intense cold war. It was very real fear on both sides and it was the closest the world has been to destruction, including these local skirmishes today. Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev showed incredible courage and intelligence to talk, to meet, to trust, and then to act in dragging their war industries toward peace and freedom. The world will be fine in 25 years. Blackrock and the other oligarchs will be liquidated and a new round of conservative, intelligent leaders will bring society back to the relative peace we could have had in the 90s. Russia asked to join NATO before the 2014 invasion into Crimea, and US/UK said no. That choice could have led to a long peace and partnership. Instead lying and backstabbing has led to ever escalating war. But, common sense will win.
i'm not sure what this song has to do with any of that, which happened about a year and a half after the song came out
@@eabcool Russia had been getting weaker, and Gorbachev was making moves towards change.
I turned 18 and joined the US Army in 1988, one of the things a friend of mine who is about the same age as me pointed out that people our age grew up expecting the world to end any moment. We spent every day knowing that the Soviets could drop the bomb any day. Only to wake up one day in our 30s and finding out that it never did.
The line in the song about waiting for the boom, is how we all grew up.
I was right behind you - turned 18 in 1989 but didn't join the Army until late '91. Was still trained to fight Soviets in Basic Training, even though the USSR had just fallen.
You're 7 years older than me but I used to have nightmares about it when I was a kid.
We all expected the world to end before we hit 30. So, we didn't plan for beyond that & have been winging it every since.
Anyone old enough to understand atomic weapons has had this anxiety since the Russians got the bomb in 1949. At least it's a real threat. Now imagine discovering that you've become neurotic over a claimed existential threat that didn't really exist. I'm looking at you Global Cooling... er... Global Warming... er... Climate Change!
18 as well in 1988. Young people don’t know what “drop drills” are. Waiting for the bombs that’s never fell..thank goodness. Had hope after the wall fell. Here we are…still hoping.
There were so many good one hit wonders in the 80's. Check out "Mexican Radio" by WALL OF VOODOO.
Wall of Voodoo was great! Caught them in Boston!
Was gonna say the same! I wish I was in Tiajuana
Eating barbequed iguana🤪
Escape Club was not a one hit wonder. They also hit the top 10 with "I'll Be There".
@jimcvca I'm pretty sure the general public has never heard of it. It may have Been popular THEN, but obviously easily forgettable.
Check out lead singer of Wall of Voodoo - Stan Ridgway - Camouflage from his solo career. Good story song
“Heading for the 90s, living in the Wild Wild West!” Love this song so much. I wish it were 1989 all over again. I was 25 and already missing the 80s, but I was also ready for the some 90s fun too! 🤗
Same. It was bittersweet but this song is great. ❤
Such great lyrics and a fun song!
I was 23 in 89 and wish I could go back
Ditto❤
I was 17 for most of that year. I'd love to go back, except for the fact that I was still in H.S. I could skip that part. LOL.
So many words, phrases, historical references in this song. Valium, safe sex, Ronnie's got a new gun, etc.
Omg, we danced to this in the club, can’t remember the last time I heard it 💜💜
For sure dance banger
actually angry at myself for forgetting this one i had the damn cassette / single i forget damn im getting old
The grin on my face is a mile wide. Thanks guys! This came out in late 1988 right when I was starting my second year in college and was on the radio all the time. So yes, livin' in the 80s, heading for the 90s. I'd love to go back to that time and just relive the 80s all over again and again.
Another one-hit wonder that was out around this same time was Information Society "What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy.)" I really think you would both love that one as well!
LOVE some Information Society! It's worked so far, but we're not out yet...deSTRUCTionnnnnnnnnnnn
... and if I knew then what I know now - LOOKOUT!
The Escape Club are the only UK act to have a US # 1 hit without ever charting in the UK. This song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week on November 12th 1988.
Love and Rockets - So Alive HD
Oh yes! So good or L&R version of Ball of Confusion!
Great song.
That song and this one were everywhere for a while
@@allieren You are correct, they were!
Good one 👍
Thank you for that. Brings me back to my mid 20s….. still drinking out of hoses, frisbee, baseball/softball, football all pick up all from the neighborhood.. always had music, parties, picnics, and most importantly, pure and unadulterated fun…… we knew how to blow off steam in a useful, fun and productive way not destructive…You two would have loved our time❤
☮️❤️🙏🌏🌍🌎🇺🇸❤️☮️
So many different groups and one hit wonders from the 80's. We would try anything at least once. Great time to be young.
This song, Buffalo Stance, Legend of a Cowgirl, Wild Thing (Tone Loc), Back to Life, Bust a Move, and yes, some Milli Vanilli. All songs that came out around the same time and always remind me of when I was stationed overseas and went to the clubs every weekend
I loved Boy's Don't Cry - "I wanna be a cowboy" Super silly, but fun to listen to. :)
Great stuff from the 80s. We were well aware there was a lot of crazy/scary stuff going on in the world, but it still didn't stop us being optimistic about the future.
It's crazy listening to this now. It still had a "message" of safe sex. That was a great message because we were in the early days of HIV/AIDS
1980's Songs....
"PUMP UP THE
VOLUME" by
M/A/R/R/S
❤ 🎉 ❤
AND Justified and Ancient by KLF & Tammy Wynette!!
@@user-sm3ii5dk1u Pump Up The Volume and Justified and Ancient are two of the most unique, genre-busting songs of the late 80s/early 90s. They will love them!
funny you say pump up ,,,, listen to pump it up by elvis costello . see where they got this rhythm from .
Yes, I love that song by M/A/R/R/S. It came out in either 1987 or 1988 because I was studying abroad in Spain, and they played “Pump Up The Volume” a lot in their dance clubs.
I haven’t heard this song in about 30 years. Wow! I forgot all about it until I saw the video thumbnail.
The mirror effects in the video both fascinated and freaked me out when I first saw this.
Jay and Amber, so thrilled to hear Escape Club and their number 1 hit, Wild Wild West from 1988. Such a fun song. I think you’ll enjoy their only other top 10 song: I’ll Be There from 1991.
I love that song “I’ll be there”, Amber may cry when hearing the lyrics. Jay may not care for it, but I hope they do the reaction
@@MP-od1zz 'I'll Be There' is a great example of a song that was massively successful on radio and MTV for about a month or so and then vanished as if it never existed.
@@1992Magnascopics Isn't that the truth!
An old favorite of mine, the instrumentation is a fun mix, but I'm all in for the bass. This one always takes me back to the greatest decade ever. Anyone else miss the '80s?
We were hopeful.
@@courtnayzeitler8564 Indeed, we were. Very true. Back then, the future was wide open. Now that we're here, we realize how good we had it. I'd love to be in a "Twilight Zone" episode where I lived my entire life in the '80s.
The Escape Club and Wild, Wild West peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week of November 12, 1988. The rest of the top 10 that week:
1) Wild, Wild West - The Escape Club
2) Kokomo - The Beach Boys
3) The Loco-Motion - Kylie Minogue
4) Bad Medicine - Bon Jovi
5) One Moment In Time - Whitney Houston
6) Desire - U2
7) Groovy Kind Of Love - Phil Collins
8) Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird - Will To Power
9) Kissing A Fool - George Michael
10) Never Tear Us Apart - INXS
Think about it that was an interesting list, yes, I remember all well.
Thanks for the list, great memories from those songs.
Kokomo was written for the movie Cocktail but didn't make it to #1, held out also by the song Don't Worry, Be Happy, also written for the same movie!
What a fabulous variety. I was in high school at a perfect time of pop music.
According to Billboard, it hit #1. 🤔@@user-sm3ii5dk1u
So glad the two of you decided to react to this song. It's one of my favorites from back in the day.
Danced to this in the clubs. Two circles, switching to a new partner every few moves. It was fun. Good dance groove👍🏻
Yep remember that, that was fun to do!
1988. I was 13 years old. I'd come home from school every day and watch 2-3 hours straight of videos on MTV. The diverse parade of weirdness was glorious. And the music was so good! Miss those times.
Speaking of INXS two songs to check out from the early 90s are Not Enough Time and Suicide Blonde.
Two remarkably prescient titles, for Michael H. So sad.
Suicide Blonde is so underrated. Amazing song…
This one always filled the dance floor 🎶
The very first piece of music I ever purchased was this song on a singles tape back in the 80’s
They were both smiling the whole time!
Line dancing was popular when this came out and this song had the best and most fun dance.
Ahhhh, the late 80s. This was a staple song of that time. I dare say it was a defining song of Gen X.
Fun band that didn't last too long. Also check out "Shake for the Sheik" and my favorite, "Walking Through Walls."
Big song for them. I remember every time I turned on the radio in my car this song was being played and if it wasn't it came on next.
Yep, ha.
This was huge in 1988-89! Looking to the left and looking to the right reminded me of the George Baker Selection "Little Green Bag" from 1970.
"She's so mean, but I don't care" said every guy ever at some point.
Their other hit was "I'll Be There" -- very different vibe but also SO GOOD
They had another minor hit called Shake for the Sheik that I remember
I finally managed to get this out of my head after 30 yrs lol. THANKS! I'll send you a clip of the Jefferson's theme song lol
I remember this song and video back in ‘89. Not long after that I heard “Pump It Up” by Elvis Costello and remember thinking it sounded very familiar. 😉
You're right, it does sound similar. And Costello's song was over 10 years earlier.
The group I was with would replace the lyrics on that break at 5:15 with "brrrrrrrr this one is called rerererRIPOFF ".
Jay you're right, the '80's was a great time to grow up in. You and Amber would have loved it. We had the best music, the best TV shows, the best concerts and the list goes on. Life was fun and exciting during that time.
Preach ! 👍💯🤟
Guys, you really need to listen to an amazing band from 70s/80s called "Hot Chocolate". Their hits include "You Sexy Thing", "It started with a kiss", "Girl Crazy", "Everyones a winner", and "Emma" ❤
I have suggested "You sexy thing"
I haven't heard this song in decades. I loved this song when I was a teenager. Great reaction.
I live in Oregon 60 miles from the Pacific and we have Mountain Lions and Bears in our back yard. That's about as wild west as it gets.
I knew Jay was going to get into the bass , just an all around fun song ❣️
This song will never get old. Late 80s at its best!
There's a great parody of this about Batman called "Adam West" by Wally Wingert. Very popular to this day on Dr. Demento.
The album version of this song has a longer spoken word middle part and another brief instrumental part near the end.
Another Number 1 song that the fabulous Tessa Niles provided backing vocals
Loved her work with ABC!
If you listen to it you will discover that while cool sounding, the drum beat is the same during the whole song. This is also the radio version. The album version is much longer and IMHO better.
YES OMG I was just thinking about this a few days ago! Fun great song
I have always loved this song. It always sounds so great and with my newer headphones on, it sounds even better. Glad you're enjoying!
Club and tavern classic! Never a night out where we didn't request from a band or play on the jukebox. A dancing banger!
I remember that the AFC West had a crazy season, with everyone beating each other, in 1989. Whenever the NFL did highlights for that division, they played this song over all the craziness on the TV screen.
My kids loved this song. It used to rock through this house often. Love it. And yeah, it's odd listening to it thinking how it referenced a future that has long passed. It's a weird feeling.
You will love their song....Call it poison ❤❤❤ 🔥 🤘 also
Edge of your bed❤
So fashionable ❤
Oh, my childhood! These songs were so good! 😍
Guys, I freaking loved jamming to this in the club! Brings back so many awesome memories. Thanks again for another great one. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
My mom LOVED this song. I was 8 when this came out and she would put this song on while cleaning the house. Great memories.
Evening guys, still requesting that elusive Slade reaction….new artist….80’s song, their biggest single in USA Run Run Away
Yes!!
Agreed.!
The extended 12” cut is a must listen to.
From 1980 to late 90's...MOST GROUPS HAD VIDEOS ON MTV!!! FIND THEM THERE!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Reminds me so much of good times with a good friend.
I spent a summer in the late '80s subletting near a dairy farm. The cows noticed cow bells even if the background. Kidding! (On the last part).
Haven't heard this for well over 30 years. Still a fun tune.
Thank you, I love the Escape Club.. They have another great song I'll Be There. Just have tissues when you listen to it.
Love the little raise of the eyebrows ( 4.35) 😉👍🎶
This song was also played in country dance bars, we line danced the Tush Push to the song.
Another 80's NEW ARTIST > Henry Lee Summer: Who's That? The band had some breaks, but not the big break. He opened for 38 Special and other big hair bands of the 8o's. High energy and can really sing! Maybe a cross between David Lee Roth and Michael Bolton and a fun vibe like Huey Lewis. I'd recommend either "Got My Hands On The Radio" Or Wish I Had A Girl Like" in video form. I'm pretty sure you will like. You guys might as well be the first to react to Him, but ya better hurry up.
About time! Next do “ Real Gone Kid” Deacon Blue, Wonderful Life, Black, Ship of Fools ,World Party, Underneath the Radar, Underworld! All late 80s forgotten Classics! #bangers 🔥👍
Wild, Wild West part of the Wild, Wild 80's 😂 loved this song dancing in the clubs🎵 Wild, Wild Times we sure had fun😂 Peace✌️ and Love❤️ Gary your 70 year old forever hippie 😊 great reaction 🤣 ❤️
Huh… I’ve listened to this song so many times, but this is the first time watching the video.
I was in high school when this song came out. The girls would all whip our hair around at the “wild, wild hair” part. And let me tell you, that took some effort in the late eighties with the volume of Aquanet we were wearing! 😂. Thanks for doing this one. Good memories!
Love you guys. I joined when Jay was doing solo reactions- with Too Much Heaven.
Wow! I forgot about this song and this video, it’s been so long! Such a cool and different song and video love it! So glad you reacted to it! Brings back memories!!❤❤
1989 .. I was 22, about to graduate college, got married, and the entire world was ahead of me... "Wild" times indeed
This song is a very popular line dance at Country Dance Clubs.
This was my JAM back in the day!!!❤
That section with the riff actually goes on longer and faster. Try the long version.
Great song, great video!!!
I really love their love ballad I'll Be There.
This was on a constant cycle on MTV back in the day.
Best thing about 80's music: It was upbeat :)
summer of 1988. one of those groups that had this and one other minor hit then disappeared.
What throw back. Haven't heard in years, but could sing every word and beat flawlessly.Thanks.
Owes a lot to Dylan’s subterranean homesick blues.
I never thought that until I just read this. RHCP did a version of Subterranean Homesick Blues on their album Uplift Mofo Party Plan that was excellent. Love that whole record.
Funny you mention that song, because today I heard "Drivin' My Life Away" by Eddie Rabbit on the radio and thought the same thing. In a way SHB was like one of the first rap songs.
They got a precious ballad: I'll be there ❤
So glad to hear this one. Brings back so many memories. ✌❤
Back in the 90's when I turned 18 in 96' I could finally dance in clubs, and this played in the line dancing section every night - a fun song to dance to.
The Hooters "All You Zombies"
The Escape Club - I'll Be There. Drastically different than Wild Wild West.
Also,
Boys Don't Cry - I Wanna Be a Cowboy
That was a blast from my past. After high school my girlfriend and I moved out west, all the way from MA to Tucson, AZ in the late 80s, just as this song became popular. It was fun, because the Wild West was brand new to us, and we were young and alive, enjoying the local dance clubs and partying it up.
The brief look on Amber’s face when he sings, “I don’t care as long as she comes tonight!” 😜
SUCH a FUN SONG from the 80s!! THANKS, YA'LL!!!
Knew you two would love this once you got to it!
This was our fav in school in 1988 /89!!! We wld sit in lunchroom singing it!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Old Club memories right there❤❤❤❤
Always puts a smile on my face!!!
Great song . Great to dance to even if your awkward like me .
Listen to a song he was a friend of mine, that was a hit in my neiborhood on 18th St in Chicago! Its called "That's the kind of love from the Mystics!😎😎
Finally! I knew you would love it!
Omg I love this song. I was in 3rd or 4th grade when this song came out and me and a couple of friends made up a dance routine to this song for our schools talent show. 80's had a lot of one hit wonders and each one was a vibe in it's own right
If you want to explore Escape Club later down the line...keep in mind their songs; Call It Poison, Walking through Walls & I'll Be There
When this song comes on in the car, I can't help but dance while driving! LOL I know this one from way back! Love it!
Escape Club had another hit song with "I'll Be There."
