"Young Guns (Go for It)" (also listed as "Young Guns (Go for It!)" on some releases) is a song by English pop duo Wham! first released as a single in the UK by Innervision Records in October 1982. It was written and co-produced by George Michael, of the duo. The song was Wham!'s first hit, achieved with help from the BBC music programme Top of the Pops, which invited Wham! on to the show as a last-minute replacement for another act which had pulled out. The producer of Top of the Pops had seen them on another programme, Saturday Superstore.[1 - เพลง

At this point it was Dee C Lee who was later replaced by Pepsi ,Dee left to join the style council I think. Dee also had her own pretty decent solo album.
Thats the 80's honey ; when music used to have sense !!!!
Such fond memories of this track, and hearing it blasted from car radios and dancing to it at new wave clubs!!! "Wham Rap" is another cool song and video Fun fun fun!
Wham rap is one of my faves! 😁
Got the biggest grin right now.
RIP Deon Estus, great Bassist
Oh no!
I didn’t know. 😢
He was a great Bass player!
Love Wham so many great tracks. They look like the were having so much fun back then. Love the whole vibe of the 80s! Excellent track!
Oh yeah this is a bop and 10's across the board, definitely here for this. Lots of fun energy vibes.
Two songs you got to check out by Wham , "Wham Rap" and "Bad Boys"
Those days were a lot of fun!! I was 17 and on the weekends going to the Underage Dance Club called The Odyssey One in Hollywood.. The Club didn't close till 4am in the morning! We'd all go to the Greenery Restaurant on Santa Monica Blvd afterwards and then Hitchhike to the Beach sometimes.. Not just good times..Great Times!!
...I was pooped from Miss Empresses' ELEVEN posts today(!) , so, I was gonna bow out....but, It's Georgie, so.... ***WHAM! TRIVIA TIIIME!!!*** ...let's GO, for IIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT....
- WILL C-D below, told it ALL...THIS was the "Tops Of The Pops" appearance, that catapulted them into STARDOM...look at it, Kids...they were HUNGRY...they were TIGHT..... they were PREPARED.... They had ONE chance, and, that choreography showed it ALL! ...VERY rare, these days..
-Us Americans didn't hear about WHAM! (then, called, "WHAM! UK", here), at that moment... BUT! ...Dick Clark premiered their Music Video on "American Bandstand" Spring, 1983, and, we went NUTS!! ...I ran to buy their Album "Fantastic", and EVERY TRACK was the BOMB!
- This tune had a little bit of CONTROVERSY, too; after line, "...well, THIS Young Gun, says..." (3:08) ...ORIGINALLY, it was, '..ab-ortion pays...' ...George was asked (by the label), to 'slur' the word, to sound like, "caution pays...' ...I have the ORIGINAL cassette, that has him saying the "A" Word...
...."Bad Boys" was released Fall of 1983, "Club Tropicana" released late 1983 / 1984, and then the ONSLAUGHT of "Wake Me Up.." "Last Christmas", "Careless Whisper", "Everything She Wants", "Freedom" & "I'm Your Man"...ALL, in 1985!!
...and, Shirlie (the Blonde) is performing this, with Dee C Lee (not Pepsi, yet, Sir Will), who left the group to perform with The Style Council....
...NO MORE Empress, I gotta go to BED, I'm OLD! ...ha-HAAA!!
Their first album Fantastic was quite funky, loved it.
Empress… You’ll die, me and a couple of girls that lived in our street used to perform this with my brother on our shed roof when we were around 10/11 we knew all the words and it was legendary. 💙
omg!😂love it!!
Dang I've never heard this one. Fun song. This is giving me "Rappin'" vibes.
Wham’s first hit! 🙌 And it broke thru after they got a spot for this appearance on Top Of The Pops after another act pulled out of the show. Definitely an example of carpe diem… George seized the day and the rest is history! I’m sure they would’ve become big anyway, George was just 19 years old in this video, and he’d written their record between the ages of 17-18. The guy was a certified pop genius. That hook “there’s danger in emotional ties” is so tight and fun, and that line “death by matrimony”! Lol. What a gift to good times and bad was our Gorgeous George 💖
This song was the second single of WHAM and the breakthrought of this duet in Europe and this song was how everything started for Wham and for George. The first single ''Wham Rap'' wasn't a success at all originally, but this song gained slowing success in all the Europe. This song was their first song charted in Europe and in UK. In the native UK, this was the first song of this duet who the radios started to played. He slowing gained success in radios, but one day, the duet received a call from the ''Top in the Pops'' to participate at this show, because a artist feature at the top 40 decided to not go in the show depist it's close to the top 40. After George and Andrew participates at this show, everything changed and this was the start has a huge career for George and finally reaching the top 3 in UK.
Amazing. I was 11!! I fell in love with George Michael then. Andrew Ridgeley's brother Paul was on drums and George's best pal Dave Austin (blond hair), who subsequently had a UK record called Turn To Gold and co-wrote a couple of George's songs, was on guitar in the background - that's because they had nobody else cos they were so skint - fun facts lol. Thanks, Empress xx
They were AMAZING. And so young. This song is def a classic. Now you have to do WHAM RAP.
Shirley, the blonde, was friends with Andrew and George when they were teens, she went to the same college as Andrew Ridgeley actually dated him for a while, that's how she met George. They all hung out together.
I'm just dropping in to comment on your hair... woo looking good girl ! Plus George.... looking like a member of the Village People here. 😂
Amazing groove to dance to !!! Love this hit
Pepsi and Shirley were the background singers. They put out a single when wham broke up called Heartache. Check it out
Noted!
You will also see these two young ladies in the video for, wake me up before you gogo. They are Pepsi and Shirlie and they released a few songs themselves. I will request one of them so you can hear what I’m talking about.🥰😘 you’re the best, Empress!
They have a song literally called "What Rap" and there is an '86 updated version of it as well. It's awesome lol.
Wham Rap
LOL , Empress ... f you haven't yet reacted to ... Wham - Bad Boys ... i hope that down the road you will as i have a suspicion that you're gonna love a very young George Michael in that music video 😀
Empress you look beautiful today.
The girls were Pepsi and Shirlie and they sang backup on a number of Wham! tracks.
Hopefully you'll get a chance to react to 'Wham Rap" from this same period.
Common mistake... In those days, the girls were Shirlie (the blond one) and Dee C. Lee. I had a doubt when Empress posted the Club Tropicana reaction, I didn't really recognise Pepsi, so I checked Wikipedia and it says that Pespi replaced Dee C. Lee later on (after Club Tropicana). When you think of it, Pepsi & Shirlie were the "whamettes" so, like the classic backing bands, they were kind of exchangeable... at least in people's minds.
@@LaurentChevassu yeah I think Dee C Lee left to join Style Council and marry Paul Weller
@@g-1west455 same Dee C Lee who sang Have You Ever Seen The Day or something like that? Late 80s hit?
@@hoxtondean9855 yes mate it was a big hit in England and she does the female vocal on 'Walls come tumbling down' big hit for Style Council. Pepsi and Shirlie hit no2 with their first single 'Heartache' after Wham split up and I'm sure it was George with Aretha that stopped them getting to no.1
And great video jomanda got love for you
One of their songs that is similar is Wham Rap (Enjoy what you do).
Play just got paid video by Johnny Kemp I think you would like it
Another video you should checkout candi Staton video young heart and free
☑️
Girl you look smoking in this video with your hair like that, Great reaction too, Wham got lucky to get on tops of the pops back then you had to be in the top 40, top of the pops was huge back then, this was 59 in the charts but another group pulled out the day before and wham got on, The week after it was number 3 and the start of wham!
Thanks!
React to their songs Bad Boys, Wham Rap!, Young Guns, Freedom, I'm Your Man and George Michael's solo songs One More Try, Monkey, Freedom 90, Too Funky and Jesus To A Child please
If you think this is good, you should try listening to Bad Boys by Wham, you'll love that one.
So wots your reaction ?
You can't not dance to this song.
